ep 2 in and idk if i can take all the cringe....does the show get better tho
It seems that you've dropped the show but yeah, for this one, all the comments saying it gets better with time were right. The series touched upon a lot of important issues while also having hilarious and fluffy moments. My tip is to watch the prolonged silences and the awkward moments at 2x speed and then switch back to normal speed during conversations. The prolonged silences and awkward moments also decrease as the episodes go on. One thing that helped me watch is the realization that the cringe moments are supposed to be funny, not serious. Problematic habits are addressed by the friend group eventually.
I suspect that due to the Songkran holiday (April 13-15), shows scheduled during that time (Break Up Service, Leap Day) will air next week instead. Shows scheduled for April 16 (My Golden Blood) will air this week as planned.
8.0/10This was honestly a visual serve. The genz vibe, the cinematography, the production - all of it looked amazing.…
Wow, you captured my exact thoughts on this series. To a tee. That being said, the series was still engaging enough for me that I finished it within 24 hours. Looking forward to season 2. Hopefully they won't repeat the mistakes.
Would rewatch just for Duean and Meen. Really wish they had their own series. Louis Thanawin did such a good job of portraying Meen as innocent and guileless without acting like a creepy adult baby (*cough* Saint Suppapong in "Love By Chance" *cough*).
That scene at the end where Chihiro looks up and sees Haoran smiling serenely at him is one of the most beautiful scenes ever. Chihiro smiles with joy. He snaps a photo of Haoran again at the spot where he took his first photo. Haoran is wearing the scarf Chihiro gifted him. Both souls are reunited and at peace now. They don't exchange words but you can tell that all is right now. Just beautiful.
I still haven't forgiven Akira. Yuuki deserved better. I hate that they ended up together again. Akira should have been rejected/ghosted by Yuuki and thus suffered regret all his life for what he did.
The thing I appreciated about The Novelist series was that even though the character Kido Shiro regretted his decision to dump his male lover (Kijima Rio) and marry a woman to "fit in" with society, Rio did not give him a second chance and instead found happiness with a guy (Haruhiko) who was not afraid to go against societal expectations in order to be with him.
