I rarely take dramas serious because I know it’s just fiction but I dropped around the 5 episode because I dislike…
I think it’s selfish (and very dangerous) for her to know she has such a serious psychological issue but risk putting others lives in danger just because she wants to be a pilot. Like how am I the only one who sees how terrible this is??? I can’t root for her so I am instantly turned off from this show.
I rarely take dramas serious because I know it’s just fiction but I dropped around the 5 episode because I dislike the FL’a character and think she is a terrible person (further explanation in spoiler).
omg we have the exact same thoughts lol. i actually semi dropped this show in ep two and came back to ep 8 because…
I completely agree on the predictability. Production could have spiced it up just a bit more by doing more group activities/games and adding more people. But nooooo they rather force them to stay in their rooms almost everyday like a bunch of prisoners. I think kindergartners get to go outside more than this group…
If it wasn’t for me wanting to see Zheng Zheng get her happy ending I would have dropped like 5 episodes back……
I’m sad Zheng Zheng doesn’t get a romantic happy ending. She is my favorite and the sweetest most beautiful girl 😿 I held on to the 10th episode because I thought more people were coming on the show. Also, in the interview she did with Feng Feng and Chun Chun she was absolutely GLOWING like the goddess she is lol.
As for Feng Feng and Chun Chun they are cute but after the first few episodes I got tired of seeing them. I’m honestly surprised people like her with LinLin. I never felt any spark between them like not once. And on that note I will never understand how in these dating shows person A will have feelings for person B but person B clearly has stronger feelings for person C and it’s so blatantly obvious to the point that they are practically boyfriend/girlfriend yet person A will still chase person B and even make themselves the third wheel just because they were never officially turned down??? It frustrates me beyond belief. I wish LinLin would have given up on ChunChun episodes ago and I wish she would have been a bit more courageous and told him the truth much sooner.
As for LinLin, Kexin and DiDi I have a lot to say. From the beginning I had a feeling DiDi didn’t really fancy any of the guys too much. I feel like DiDi is best suited for a more mature and dominant guy but not too overly dominant. I can’t explain it but none of the guys seem to be able to match her. I do applaud her on at least trying to get to know all the guys especially Kexin. It wasn’t until the episode where LinLin moved out that I realized DiDi actually did like him a lot. I think she did have interest in a Kexin but it felt like more of an obligation. Every episode she would talk about how he was a realistic match for a spouse but never would she express that she liked him or had any spark. That was when I knew they wouldn’t last. While Kexin didn’t necessarily do anything wrong or super harmful part of me thinks that he knew her feelings were/are fading but because he is so obsessed with her (mostly because he finds her gorgeous) he kind of kept quite just to stay near her which is sad and lowkey toxic for his own self.
If it wasn’t for me wanting to see Zheng Zheng get her happy ending I would have dropped like 5 episodes back… anyways my take on this show will be post below if anyone cares.
Does anyone else feel yoo jung and ji chang wook are awkward with each other? 😂 I felt it when they were doing…
OMG! I am so glad someone notices. I first noticed how awkward they were during the last scene in the final episode of backstreet rookie (where the camera is panning around the set and they wave goodbye). I remember thinking they looked so awkward and like they disliked each other despite having just played characters who were in love (and doing a good job at it). Then on this show it’s like ZERO interaction yet KYJ interacted with everyone on the Annarasumanara team except JCW. Maybe even more than her own team. I thought maybe it was because they had such a large age gap but JCW played in Suspicious Partner and that age gap was also huge but they got along fine. Plus KYJ gets on well with In Yeop and Seo Joon.
I know your comment is a bit old but I wanted to answer lol. "Light On" are just iQiY's in house suspense genre shows. To my understanding it is made with the intention of following the style of western film and varies greatly from typical Chinese tv shows which tend to be more family focused (hence all the family drama shows they make).
The plot and filming techniques used in "Light On" series shows are VERY similar to those used in western shows but especially those in movies. If you have watched a few "Light On" shows you'll know exactly what I mean.
As for the name "Lights On" I have no idea but I'm guessing because it is suspense, which although it isn't horror, can make you feel uncomfortable and want to keep the "lights on" in the room. And while we may not find these things that unsettling, in Chinese cultural they find these things a bit harder to watch.
What's his cousins full name? Is it the guy on that one yt channel reactions with Sammy and James?
His cousin's name is "Captain Kongyingyong Chonlathorn" (in the bio above). To my knowledge he never did any videos with Sammy and James. Not even sure if they are close to each other... but I could be wrong.
Loved this drama! I have some questions/predictions that I’ll leave below as a spoiler.
I feel like this may get a side show maybe focusing on Luck or Dream??? There are some things not explained that I feel would be good to address.
1) I think there is another spirit with bright light other than the house spirit. This ties into my next theory.
2) I feel like what Luck saw as a child was actually a spirit and NOT an alien. I think the spirit is the same one from the episode where they are trying to communicate with Phob and all the wandering spirits show up and then there is a bright light spirit that basically kicks out all the wandering spirits. I thought it was the house spirit but this spirit seems stronger PLUS I feel like they would have shown his face if it was actually the house spirit instead of being mysterious. There was another time the bright light spirit showed up in the series and was still faceless but I forgot what scene.
3) maybe Dreams dad is the bright light spirit???... as it was briefly mentioned him and his followers all committed suicide to save themselves or something like that and I think that ties into a bigger plot. I even thought she recognized the ghost because in the scene where they are in Phob’s room and it shows up she had this look of shock but like she knew who it was but I’m probably over analyzing that lol. Also, Dreams dad death and Lucks parents accident happened around the time that both of them were young (and possibly the same age??).
4)there is something with that house beyond what we saw. When Luck came over he had that little vision/experience similar to what he felt as a child ONLY at that house and then there is the ending scene where the ghost goes inside the house. Also, the wandering ghosts always seem to be in that area. And I get that they were supposed to be after Phob but it seemed weird they were always there. I think there’s more to the house’s story...
5)wtf was it that attacked/contacted luck??? The bright light spirit or something else??? He even said the same thing that got his parents got other people???? Like what does that mean???
Ok so I'll just say this show isn't the best and could use some work. I decided to finish this show instead of dropping and I am glad. While the acting, storyline and overall production is still a bit meh I feel like episode 4 (more so halfway through) I saw a glimpse of hope for what this show could be.
Addressing the acting I've seen a few BLs that Yoon has been in and while I think his acting improved here, I don't find him a convincing mafia as he is too cute looking. As for Ton I haven't seen his other show so not sure what to compare his current acting to, but I feel it's a bit awkward. Now I will say that for some reason his acting did get slightly better in episode 4. Similar to other rookie BL actors I feel like as the show goes on his acting will feel more natural and the chemistry will grow more between the two leads.
The storyline had/still has potential. While the concept isn't the first to be thought of, I think that it brings something new to thai BL which tend to be university and youth centered and mostly fluffy (with the exception of a few traumatic plots). That is why I also like KinnPorsche.... but that is another conversation. Episode 4 was the turning point for me in this show. I think that things will pick up a bit more. So far, the other 3 episodes have been so boring that instead of watching the 45 minutes per episode I probably watched 15-20 MAX after skipping through it. I think by 2 more episodes (halfwayish) it will get A LOT better.
I don't really like BL dramas with more than one couple because I feel it takes away moments from the main couple, but I think that adding another couple or focusing on the side characters would significantly improve this show. It feels like they are going that route so hopefully they do it quickly as this show feels like it's missing something.
Now I'll keep my take on the production as short as I can. I know not every drama can have a huge budget, but I feel like GMM did them a bit dirty. I get GMM has many branches of production companies or that they may not have a huge part in this specific show other than slapping their name on it, but this show deserved a better budget. Kim's room gives me motel 6 vibes, Kim's office feels very "welcome to Staples", Kamol's house is okay, but other set locations feel so weird, and I can't quite put my finger on it.
Lastly, I hate the unnecessary camera shots and weird audio like when Kamol goes to Kim's office, and you hear the most awful horrible footsteps, and they do the slow-motion walk in. Also, whatever mics they use when in large or empty rooms are awful. This ties into the budget issue because to get around smaller budgets they will sacrifice post editing things like the audio. It's little things that if executed well (or were taken out altogether) the show would feel much smoother.
Despite all my complaints I don't think this is a horrible show and I would even suggest to anyone watching to wait until the halfway point before deciding to drop it.
As for Feng Feng and Chun Chun they are cute but after the first few episodes I got tired of seeing them. I’m honestly surprised people like her with LinLin. I never felt any spark between them like not once.
