No. I like Tu as a person, but it's clear that her skills next to actually good actors (unlike in F4) simply don't meassure up. Crying is not a skill. Looking downtrodden isn't a skill. Kongkwang feels like a completely flat character without any depth - what exactly do we know about her apart from the fact that she likes Phukao? Genuinely asking. What do we know about her because I can't come up with a single thing.

Did you even watch the episode? Her mom died later. Also you should really put up a spoiler warning there.

This woman gets to kiss a guy looking like Ohm Pawat and doesn't show an ounce of happiness. Kongkwang has had exactly one scene where she didn't look mopey, downtrodden or sad. I can't with Tu, is that supposed to be acting?!

If Hybe straight up denies it instead of saying "we can't confirm" then it's not true.

Isn't Kongkwang supposed to be happy? Why does she still look so downtrodden all the time? The slowmo is truly not helping with making her constant blinking less noticable.

I have to agree, crying is so easy for most actors. "Looking sad" is not acting.

Good point!

At least his emotions match his character. He had a few exaggerated moments but he was stellar apart from that. I'm baffled at the director though - there were some moments where actors broke character that she just left in while not giving other a chance to re-do a take that was either way too low energy or way too exaggerated. Ohm is doing a good job all things considered - it is a highly intense role.

Please, Tu, please. I know you can do better than this. Kongkwang feels like an empty shell. Sure, the writing isn't helping but by god if I have to spend another episode just watching her droopy face and blinking a million times a minute I'm going to end up throwing something at my screen. It's even worse when you have both June (who's performance here is leagues better than in NLMG) and View absolutely nailing their scenes every single time. How did the director not notice that Tu's performance is not working? I'm supposed to feel things during her scenes with Ohm but all I want the camera to do is to focus back on him or give me a wideshot or anything because their scenes together feel so forced. Anything is more interesting to look at than her! Isn't this girl supposed to be happy now? Isn't she supposed to feel joy at the guy she's apparently been in love with since she was a child not being angry at her anymore, even kissing her? Why is her face still so mopey all the time?

Lmao sure, Jan.

I'm Thai. Why would I need a translation lol

I'm Thai. Maybe don't try to argue about someone who understands what she said without translation.

Nope. If you have an issue with us discussing our disappointment with the show, you can just stop reading.

The director just confirmed in a Twitter space that apparently PK and KK have loved each other since childhood. Romantically loved e/o when they were five years old. Then underwent massive horrible trauma, PK started hating her and her family, did not see e/o for 10+ years but apparently loved e/o throughout all of that despite not seeing (or really knowing e/o) until adulthood. That's absolutely moronic storytelling. My goodness. They set up nothing. These characters don't know each other but we're supposed to believe there's genuine love there just cause!? That's dumber than even I expected from this series.

It's still a melodramatic mess and the emotions of nobody except KK are taken seriously. This episode especially the audio was even worse than before and I'm not sure if the idea there was to want Phukao to just move away from everyone bc wow is everyone just shit, talking about taking care of him and then absolutely nobody does. The pacing is also break-neck and they're going forward with a love triangle that is hilariously baseless.

It hasn't. What makes you think it would've?

Soredemo Ikite Yuku. It's said this series is based on that.

I haven't seen F4 so I can't say but others are saying the same thing so idk

That's not how KK is though, she's not meek or submissive, as we've already seen. She's scared and sad but unlike Ohm who brings a hundred different emotions to the table, Tu's face is perpetually stuck on one. Ohm shadows her in every single scene together, it's really surprising. On the other hand, View has been exceptional so far so I'm wondering why exactly the role went to someone like Tu with next to no experience who genuinely seems like the role is way too big for her.

Nah I'm watching this till the end bc I'm liking Ohm. But his performance is the only decent thing about this so far. I though Tu was supposed to be really good?? Like what happened?
