There is a different ending: Hint PlutoCharon ep 8https://youtu.be/vxDpOgbDnlo?si=lW5icM2j1Hl3uwfo
Why didn't the director and editor add this scene to the end of the last episode? Did they want to keep us confused on purpose? It doesn't make sense :/
I read the novel too. In my opinion it was an average novel. It has poor characterization and a thin plot. The series script writer, director and actors have elevated the quality of the story so much. I'm sure after ppl finish watching the series if they go read the novel they won't believe that's what the show was based on.
For example, in the novel, Khun Thee comes across as an annoying obsessive stalker. He's supposed to be a mafia boss, but he's just a mama's boy who has never heard a "no" in his life. His anger and frustration at everything he can't control isn't funny or charming, it's pathetic and almost disconcerting. The novel's writer tries to make it look like Peach's love makes Khun Thee change his ways. But he only behaves around Peach. He is still the same immature person with everybody else except Peach. Because that is just the foundation of his character. Why does Peach like him? I still don't know. The side characters are even less developed. non of their reactions make any sense.
In the series, so far we are seeing how with the help of the director and scripts writer, Pond has managed to turn Thee into the most charismatic gentleman who is only a little quirky and funny but has a heart of gold. The Khun Thee from the novel is not even half as likable as the Khun Thee from the series.
I actually agree with you that Smart and Boom are both good actors. But "method acting" is a particular method that only a handful of actors employ. And it doesn't always guarantee a great performance btw. Google it.
I don't wanna throw shade, but I just honestly don't understand how this got a rating above 7!!? I mean what part of it was good? or even average? The plot is almost nonexistent with so many holes and unfinished side stories. The performances are terrible. All of them speak as if they are reading from a text. Every episode has so many filler scenes where basically nothing happens. Production value is poor. The only thing it has going on is handsome MLs. That is not enough for a +7 rating. I could watch paint dry and be more entertained.
Did Mr. Dunk actually audition before he was hired to work on this show? I mean... Did the director actually see his acting before he picked him? If yes, then I can't imagine how was the acting skills of the others who also auditioned for this role. With all due respect, Mr. Dunk, please take an acting class. Good luck.
Excuse me, I don't speak Thai, so I don't understand the double meaning of the title. But still I think it's not a suitable title for a drama, even one as silly as this. But that was not the most off putting element of this show. What's wrong with Poon? The whole time he avoided the man he was supposed to love so much, it was very uncomfortable to watch him. This is the first time I see this actor, I don't know if it's his fault or the director's. But the whole time it was so obvious he is a straight boy who is being forced to play gay and nothing is more painful than watching someone grimace every time they get close to kissing. It was torture watching him escape Artip's lips and touch like that. why can't you hire a gay actor, or at least someone who can act to play a gay character? Every time Artip comes close to his body, he stiffens up like he is about to be raped. I even felt bad for the guy. I bet he has never had a sexual fantasy about another male in his entire life. and that is off course totally okay. But he should just learn to act or find another job.
It's not a sophisticated series, but it entertained me and that was enough. The whole cast should change their job though, none of them know how to act. The two mains have great bodies and sparking chemistry but that's only enough for a modeling gig. You need talent for acting.
I regret resisting that initial urge to drop it after the first, second and third episode because it was bad all through to the end. I'm not saying every scene was bad, it had its moments but the story and the execution were horrible. I don't understand why everyone in the comment section is saying the acting was good. The best acting I saw in this series was done by Chin's dad actually. when he tore up U's photos and threw them in his son's face in anger, I really believed him. The rest of the cast were mediocre at best. I planned to give it 3 stars until Pat told U to reject him by showing him half a heart. I had never cringed so hard. what was the director thinking? was that supposed to be cute? 2 stars it is.
I've watched only two episodes so far. It is entertaining. but several characters keep sexually harassing Rak and the laughing track suggests it's supposed to be funny? Lets not normalize this behavior specially at the work place or with the house owners. Dao can sexually harass her tenant because he needs her house to live. That is not funny at all.
The only good thing about this whole show was Fiat's acting. It is very rare to see an actor in a BL who is actually comfortable in his own skin in front of the camera. His performance was so refreshing. Kudos to the casting director.
It's a cute BL but it is extremely slow paced. Every scene, before every line the actors have to pause for a whole minute. It's so frustrating. They could finish this whole series in six eps. I wish the producers valued the audiences' time, as much as they value their money. :|
