Basically for all Thai show - cut version mean TV version which mean runtime bellow hour. Usually its between 45 - 55min While Uncut is Director full cut. Which mean one episode can easy double of cut version
Your comment made me check their Bio and realize I saw them in more than one work before. Offroad was the only good thing in Our Days. Love in Translation showed they have chemistry. While Daou portrayal of San was so good, it was almost like this role was tailor-made for him. But my impression still stands, Vee/Offroad took me out of the story. It can be as you said because he was restrained by the director or was just ill-suited for role. He can act but somehow in Vee role he had this "I am acting" energy about him.
Just started watching and as OG Love Sick fan, I really appreciate the condensed story. But casting for Noh is just not it. I have literal flashbacks of Captain (previous Noh actor). Casting 15yo newbie for such an iconic role is just asking him to fail.
Its one of this series that due to theme and rating I started watching thinking it would be something special. It has originality compared to other series despite its obvious flaws. A magic stone that can heal? But you lend it for a century to one random guy when you could save countless lives with it if it stayed in the temple? It just doesn't make sense. Also while there are elements I really like, the actor playing Vee was total miscast, he took me out of story every time he appeared on the screen. A lot of his scenes were overacted, not sure if the problem is his acting range or the direction he received but something clearly didn't work. The chemistry between leads was also very so-so, it wasn't bad but it also didn't make me wish for another series with them. To sum it up nice drama but definitely not 8.5 nice...
I am sorry , I have decided to drop this one, only the first 2 episodes were promising, and the next episode were…
Its Mame novel adaptation... she is great as creating characters but not so much with story itself... But i agree that shift that happened in ep 3 didn't make that much sense and could be explored much better. Its difficult for viewers to adapt to casual summer fling turning to kept lover story that turn into romance when in first two episodes they didn't serve us fling but romance...
Can someone say if its worth waching? View count on YT is kinda bad and from trailer I had question about Leng acting... So please give me honest opinion
it's not bl... I come expecting one and was served intern office comedy... it's not bad but it was marketed and sold as bl. So I basically asked for chocolate and was served vanilla...
The first two episodes were really good, but it went downhill from there. While the cinematography, locations, and editing are among the best of Thai BL series we have seen so far, the acting and story needed a lot more work, especially the Story. There is a big IQ drop to explain the plotlines, loanshark trying to kill an executed famous person... what happened to lets try to make it look as accident? Or making him work to pay it of? Killing him bring them nothing while making him accept shady work bring back some money and would make for better plot. There is a lot of stuff that just doesn't make sense and expect viewers to take it on face value. This whole series need rewrite and it could gain cult following like KP
I think its obvious for everyone, not to mention director saying he wanted to be truthful to source material in…
Which is why i will not even try to google it to check where lay exact law line in description of minor nudity... and how little or much fall into child p**n category...
I think its obvious for everyone, not to mention director saying he wanted to be truthful to source material in…
People in comment bellow speak about age of consent forgetting we also have kid p*rn law and possession and distribution of minor nudes... Depending how they handle it they might be in biggest BL scandal yet to come.
Anyone who watched OG addicted should understand why a 16 year old is not appropriate for this role.
I think its obvious for everyone, not to mention director saying he wanted to be truthful to source material in interview.. At this point a lot of people are probably watching them closely, because minor acting in BL is nothing new but if NC scenes will drop it will be different story. Crew probably also judge reaction and if they are smart would clean up problematic scenes before backlash get too big.
I don't think age gap is a problem.. problem is that Mac was 15/16 yo when he filmed, not sure how exploit NC…
I think argument that his parents allowed it is flawed - most of child abuse cases involve parents - Child agreeing to take nude photos because mommy said she will buy him lego set if he was good isn't okay just because child is not a toddler or his parents are okay with it. I know it sound crazy but if you watch any documentary about this topic you will find much nastier examples. Also since you are not interested in drama you might not understand me who was an original Chinese addicted fan of 2016 and my happiness when we finally after all these years could get a chance for proper finished adaptation - only to get something like this for not good reason - as you wrote yourself they had thousands of unproblematic choices that would guarantee season 2. As for protest it will probably happen in time - not sure if you remember Love by Chance but Saint, Perth and Director New, needed to apologize more than once because Perth filmed NC scene when he was still 17 and a lot of people were very unhappy about it, it still surface from time to time.
Keep crying about the age gap....He doesn't give a fuck, if you don't want to watch it 😃😃
I don't think age gap is a problem.. problem is that Mac was 15/16 yo when he filmed, not sure how exploit NC scenes will be but they already in very grey zone, skimming line between illegal and legal. Do you think that with this kind of shit going on we will get season 2 and get whole adaptation? Of course not - they just killed this franchise once again. I would not be surprised if in best case they put some law restriction to prevent this kind of situations in future.
While me and my friends were talking about this show one of my friends mentioned how nice it would have been if…
It would be really great casting tbh, impossible but really great. But not sure if P'Aof would be the greatest choice for director for this work, he have tendency to play too safe
I just want to watch the full story, hope they would show us full novel 🫠
Its impossible, it just 10 episodes so if they reach halfway point it would already be great - and with all this shit going on i don't think they will have sponsorship for season 2
He was 15 when this started,I can only hope there's no kiss and nc scene here
Because Addicted is almost urban legend in BL circle, hearing it will get Thai adaptation it was basically big event on twitter... But it make me wonder Saint, Perth and Director New needed to apologize and were under the fire because Perth was still 17 when he filmed the bed scene with Saint in Love by Chance. Director New also needed to apologize several times for that... so any rational adult would not cast 15yo for this drama with 28yo without some creepy reason. It also first big Bl china novel adaptation in Thai so I don't see China right-holder agency giving them rights to other works when they created such mess... which pose a question what law are about kiddy p*rn in Thai and China and how much trouble there will be long-term
While Uncut is Director full cut. Which mean one episode can easy double of cut version
His behavior remind me so much of the specific stereotype of 90s Hollywood its not even funny.
I can only say some things in this drama are a CHOICE.
Offroad was the only good thing in Our Days.
Love in Translation showed they have chemistry.
While Daou portrayal of San was so good, it was almost like this role was tailor-made for him.
But my impression still stands, Vee/Offroad took me out of the story. It can be as you said because he was restrained by the director or was just ill-suited for role.

But casting for Noh is just not it. I have literal flashbacks of Captain (previous Noh actor).

A bit too corny sometimes but still one of best Filipino BL we every had.
It has originality compared to other series despite its obvious flaws.

So please give me honest opinion
