One thing that is better in this lakorn than in most that I watched (around 400 of them) is that everyone on the cast did a good job on kissing scenes and bed scenes. All the kissing in this lakorn is real kiss and looks good, and every couple has good bedscene/s. And not just some weird attempts of the both, like in most lakorns.
Okay, it's clear that no matter the poor production, people loved this couple:) When I watched just 1/5 of it, all I've seen was that one boy keeps pestering one other boy, because he likes him or whatever. The other boy is not interested. Then suddenly, one night he takes him to a motel. So I thought I needed to see the cut 1st sex scene to see how it went on between them:) But the only uncut link on allforbiddenthings.wordpress has the 1st part deleted by now. I searched youtube and found video number n4v2PPpS2Zo that has the sex scene:) The music they chose to pair it with is horrible, though. LOL I must say it did not really clear things for me LOL I did not like the straight cut to the next morning, but this was such a weird contrast to the funny & quirky. I'd prefer something in between. After I completed all the uncut version, I can say that though I did like the main couple (I felt like I watched both the actors before, though I did not), it didn't really have anything re-watch worthy.. And the second sex scene, which comes so near to the end that I already thought I missed it already (I did start to fastforward a little), looks a BIT better (well, it could not possibly look any worse) but the same idiotic music plays with it? Second time around, I had to laugh. Either way, even without the weirdo soundtrack, boys looked way better just hugging. Maybe the movie will be better...
It took me more than a YEAR to complete this, because I watch budle of shows always, never just 1. And it having 44 episodes proved to be THIS long. I liked the cast, loved some main couple's moments.. It took seriously long time for them - like 3/4 of the series - to kiss. Then it dragged with her treating him super harsh, while he kept being super nice to her. I wonder if in the overpopulated country there is such a saint available for every reasonably attractive woman. It would be good.
'Swan Wings'? After I watched 1/3 of it, which means more than full 7 HOURS, I started super-fast forwarding to the end sorry not sorry. It's stupid when the main guy does not wear the mask (she keeps daydreaming about some fictional scenes with him that obviously never really happened), and it's stupid when he does wear the mask (he is super recognizable even with that on). Not to mention the whole obligatory kidnapping of the main girl to "make her pay" (one review mention "rape", but there's not really such scene to be seen, either it was too short for my fastforwarding, or it was left to "imagination", also) for something she supposedly did which he cares to inform her about in the final episode while he might as well said that in like episode 2. The only thing which is not boring is that nang'ek is not the typical super innocent type. But that's all. It's all pretty vague and random and you don't really understand why anyone does anything. Screentime is huge and bigger than any viewer's patience. I can imagine only if this was a soft-core thingy with 50% bedscenes, then the haphazard remainder could be excusable LOL
Okay, we know that Bee Namthip is still so beautiful, she was destined to land roles like this;-) This is the "Queen" kind of romance, thai flavor. This version, they're 39 and 28, there is the age gap but he is not VERY young. I've already watched korean version and checked out the old taiwanese one. I think to know this, first 2 episodes are sufficient. Because you get to see them flirting, kissing and almost having sex:) If their chemistry works for you, then you can continue the drama. I recommend the korean version because that has an attractive male lead.
This version, they're 27 and 32, not much age gap between the cast.. I've already watched korean version and still have thai version to check out. I think to know this, first 2 episodes are sufficient. Because you get to see them flirting, kissing and almost having sex:) If their chemistry works for you, then you can continue the drama.
I now have watched all 5 Photographer/Novelist dramas/movies. In this last one, it still prevails that the strongest themes in it originate from 'Mood Indigo'.
can anyone give me the link of this episode ? please guys.
is's on ok.ru, video number 3277019679302 (ok.ru dash video dash 3277019679302.. cant post whole http here or I'll soon get banned as spammer:) besides russian subtitle there's english one, too if it gives you trouble with asking you to register all across the screen then simply refresh the site the video will continue playing (only needs to be un-muted) for a bit again and again.. if it bothers you use any video downloader, most of them support ok.ru.
She's too young & pretty for the guy.. There might be the erotic theme to this show but the main character is the type of a guy who is not interesting in any respect. All his problems are pretty basic. In that, it's very "slice of life"-y.. in other words, it's boring after 3 episodes already... I DROPPED it after the 4th, as I did not care whatever happens.
On episode 15.. I'm already feeling it for a while, that while the teacher keeps helping Choi Jun Woo a great deal, it might be Ma Hwi Young who needs help the most. The one character who seemed like a monster at the beginning: he grew up in monster house. He is also a victim, victim of his own parents (as we are all:) Choi Jun Woo now does 2 schools + 1 job so he's exhausted physically, but Ma Hwi Young is hurting in his soul.
Also Shin Seung Ho has such deep, attractive voice:) When he said to the main girl that he is a bad person, I really did regret he was not cast as her love interest:) I did not like Ong Seong Wu that much, to tell the truth.
As if working from 9 in the morning to 6 in the evening was not ENOUGH (that's practically the whole day spent), it's sadly pretty common in Japan workworld to not expect to actually go home at 6 (that's why this particular drama caused quite a stir), which is something that's looked upon as an almost unachievable ideal in theory, not done in practice. Therefore, when this drama's heroine tries to achieve this every single day, she meets with quite a few raised eye brows. And though the writers came up with probably the most ridiculous reason they could think of (so that she can still catch the happy hour price on beer in her favorite restaurant), I could imagine more ways of impact on personal lives.
Especially when it's also a common practice to only take about 50% of the paid leave days one is entitled to. Workers are always reminded that each day they are absent multiplies the already heavy workload of their fellow coworkers, and this guilt helps to maintain the habit of everyone reporting a reason (like going at doctor's!) why they ask for each such day off, although no law officially requires this of them. Simply put, the work culture is that everyone works their butt off except the "Golden Week", humbly reminiscing the history when the ancestors worked even harder.
Our heroine then, despite doing things which could seem common to westerners, actually leads quite a decadent lifestyle:-) I would certainly appreciate this drama to be more romance spiced and less "political", but I get that they needed to convey the message (hopefully things improved in Japan). Main actress is pretty, she has gently beautiful face. The plot is mostly about her work life, though. She aspires to clock off from work sooner than commonly expected (i.e. actually on time) each day in an honest way, by making herself more efficient, more productive. NOT by, for example, shifting the load onto somebody else. Still, she is bound to be targeted by envious eye.

By the way, I found out Enon Kawatani sang the opening song;-)
