1st rewatch since last year, I still love it SO SO much.
The only thing I dislike is the parents' behavior but it's kinda redundant in Thai GL series unfortunately. (Which i just played those scenes in x2 since it's a rewatch)
I still think it got a bit reviewbombed by the novel reader (which I understand) but if you don't have any expectations, go for it! It's such a good watch!
Supprised by Charlotte's acting. She was, to be honest, not great on her debut. But now ? WOW She became really good. She must have trained a lot. That trembling lip when she said "why do love you me that much" was perfect.
Now about The Water.
I found the 1st two episodes really hard to watch. Nam is supposed to be the strict boss. The transition to the caring boss should've been slower imo.
Plot wise its really cliché and basic. The issue I have is that its not a fluffy romance-focused series and the story isnt impactful nor greatly written. I was kinda expecting one or another.
I enjoyed my watch and its by far Englot's best series. 7/10 for me (which is good, not a 7/10 mdl notation)
What was the stance on the utilisation of generative AI for this drama while it aired? It just looks so bad. Since GEN AI is stealing, I guess Change2561 is fine with viewers watching it illegaly.
Well with that said...
SA ? Can we stop ? Jane? Hated her but wow ma'am I love your voice.... Jiu (Jiw?)? Type of character that I hate normaly but wow he did such a good job! Funny and annoying like a little brother. Perfect work! Song? Wow such a good character. Good actress, i felt the sisterhood love. But I reaaaallyyyy wanted a flashback where Si was taking care of her or something. I need more Song-like in dramas.
Really good watch! 1st time watching LMSY since Affair in 2024, lookmhee's face changed so much. Not saying this in a bad way, it just took me by suprise. Both are so pretty!
Well. 7 years late drama for me. I loved this kind of plot in 2018. Insane drama but jailed by its used and reused story. I would recommend for neophytes (not in a bad way) but pass for people watching drama for a long time since nothing new (and not doing better than others).
TLDR: Objectively "good" but plot is the same as always SO, not good subjectively.
Please read @Ryn_333 's analysis. They added so much depth to the drama wow. Its rare to see this type of comment on mdl. Anyway i really liked it, but this comment made it much more special to me. The comment if you're lazy scrolling: https://kisskh.at/782446-call-me-by-no-name#comment-20952384
To be fair it could have been 2 more episodes cause some scenes were really fast but overall very good watch.
Side couple was too much and i wanted more lovely moments between the girls.
But I don't know why sometimes chemistry was 10/10 (EP 4, yeah, peak) but sometimes.... it wasn't bad (not at all! They're cute) but a little awkward I would say?
Anyway liked it a lot and both of them are gorgeous ! I want more of them with a different writer(s) if possible !

Waiting for the next/special episode now......
Wow.
TLDR: Objectively "good" but plot is the same as always SO, not good subjectively.
Well made? Yeah!
Acting? Really good !
But since it's objectively the same, I think it "CAN BE" (!!!!) boring. Not because of the drama but because it's just the same again again and again.
If you don't mind this not being original? Yeah, sure go it's good!
If you want "new", I think we're just not the target audience anymore.
I guess it's hard to have original plot anymore. Just a cliché script (bad or good) + insane actors is enough...
PS: this one is good! Do not try to change my words pls no hate.
PS2: I agree with @soTreeD 's comment
IIRC S1 adapted all the manga ?
So happy, I'll be waiting !
Also there is a whole scene in the credit on the last ep, dont miss it!

I wanted a healthy relationship and without stupid breakup(s). They gave me that! And more, with this insane chemistry.
Story wise it was a classic slice of life. But I didn't fast forward any scenes at all.
So yeah, It was really good.
