(commenting this everywhere) i feel like I've watched every good BL that exists and now I'm actually stuck...…
Welcome to the BL wall... We are all there, friend. I always find myself wondering what the heck to watch while waiting for new releases. It sucks! ą§¹įµĢ“Ģ¶Ģ·į·ļ¹įµĢ“Ģ¶Ģ·į· ą§¹ I think it's because while there are a lot of BLs out there, for every one BL there are five straight dramas. We need more, but we just don't have enough companies producing them.
Ok so let me put my two cents in here. It is one thing to critique someone, it is a whole other thing to be harsh.…
i played back that sceen so many times and could have swarn i heard it but whateve. i am not Thai nor do i know the lang so oh well . v(Ā“ć»āć»ļ½*)v
Honest Opinion. From Pitbabe to this, Pooh cannot keep up with Pavel. It's probably time to give Pavel a new pair…
Ok so let me put my two cents in here. It is one thing to critique someone, it is a whole other thing to be harsh.
We have to understand that even though we think words donāt matter, they do. I know, sticks and stones, right? But the thing is, especially when it is one of maybe a thousand, words can be as sharp as a knife and can do real damage to someoneās mental state.
Take what happened between Perth and Chimon. As I understand it, the fans tore into Chimon to the point that he had to take a mental break from acting and he still isnāt back.
The fans also tried to do this to Santa and Perth too.
Or Ohm and Leng. Even though most were still bitter about Ohm and Nano, they caused Ohm and Lengās ship to break and sink. This, I believe, was Lengās debut ship and it was all crushed because of people being cruel. He too was a rookie and I thought that for a rookie he did really well, but because of hateful people heās debut flopped and his career could be up ended and destroyed before it can even go anywhere.
Now look, I know that Pooh being an actor has opened him up to criticism and he should be prepared for people saying cruel and mean things. However, I think a lot of us have gotten too comfortable with being overly harsh to the point of mentally breaking down a person.
I get that what you said is not as cruel as what others have said, but again your words are a knife that is only adding to the thousands of cuts Pooh maybe receiving. You can say he needs to work harder on his acting, but to say that Pavel should drop him is too much.
Please be careful with your words and choose them wisely before commenting on another person and their career.
Also, I think we need to give rookie actors some grace. Not all have good starts but as long as they are improving we should remain encouraging. I do like Pooh better in this. I tried PitBabe but for me I just couldnāt get behind Pooh's character and am unsure if it is because of Pooh or the character itself. I do know that I like Pooh as Thup. Him as Thup feels a lot better and a lot more natural to me. There are some moments where I think Pooh can improve on but over all I think he is doing fine.
And just to be far, I like Pavel as Singha but the man needs to really watch his lines. I have caught him twice now call Thup Pooh. š
Whatever you want, I find it truly disrespectful to advertise the series exclusively on Netflix and avoid publishing…
i habe been wsiting for this and just founded out that its on netflix, what? I have Iq, WeTV, Viki, and Gaga...i can't be spending all this money! i mean be for real!
Dear Diary,I just started the new episode of Interminable andāhold onāwhy am I suddenly thinking of ššš???Oh…
HOOOOOONE!!!! You got me at almost 1 am cackling like a Hyena and kicking my feet! Please keep doing these dear diarys on every comment you do! LOVE YAH! āāā(Ė¶Ė į ĖĖ¶)āā¾ā¾
Let us first get this out of the way, shall we?ā¦.
HOT D*MN THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!!! HOT!!!! AND SEXYYYYYY!!!!! BUT MOSTLY BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!! Billy and Babe have no shame, and I am HERE for it!
That NC scene is the stuff poetry is made out of, ok? You can feel the passion just rolling off them. They wanted each other, and I loved every moment of it!!!!! āāā(Ė¶Ė įµ ĖĖ¶)āā¾ā¾
Now, let's get to the issue...
(For reference, F + name is future + name and P + name is past plus name.)
Where is the build-up?
While P Kaewta was sketching P Yai, where was the shyness? The flirtation? Where was the feeling of building heat?
Not only that, but we went from a flashback of seeing P Yai running into P Kaewta again at the dance academy (or that is what I am calling it. Don't know what it is called in the actual story), where they didn't even talk to each other. Kaewta just goes with Ruedee to make tea for P Yai. Then, to a flashback of P Kaewta sketching P Yai, and then them getting busy. There is no in between.
Now, do I get why this happened? Yes, somewhere between F Kaewta meeting F Sophee and F Kaewta trying to sketch F Yai, F Kaewta starts to remember sketching P Yai, and that is what leads to F Kaewta dreaming about that steamy moment from his past life.
However, I still say there should have been something to build up to that moment, like a little montage of P Yai and P Kaewta dating or something.
Or they didn't even have to show the full scene. Like maybe bits and pieces of it as Kaewta tries to get the memories from his past life back. Then, as he gets closer to F Yai, he slowly starts to see the pieces start becoming clearer.
One of my biggest gripes about Thai BLs is that they rarely build up enough to the NC scene for me. Sometimes it just feels like they slap an NC scene onto a show instead of really trying to work toward it. This makes me feel less for that scene, and it sucks to be honest. It feels like a waste.
That being said, I do like how Interminable is doing their flashbacks. They seem to be connecting the flashbacks to the characters themselves. For Sophee, it is flashbacks of either her time with P Yai and trying to pursue him, or her bringing pain to Kaewta as she becomes jealous of P Yai's love for him. For Yai, it is mostly for now the encounters he's had with P Kaewta, though I feel like, as the story goes on, his flashbacks may follow a more logical flow of how he met Kaewta, to them falling in love, and then their end. And for F Kaewta, it has been the sweeter moments with P Yai and the pain and torture from P Sophee.
However, I still say that the best show to do flashbacks was Until We Meet Again. It felt like they took two stories that run parallel to each other, and then they expertly connected them together into one storyline. No flashback felt out of place, and it also followed a logical progression of beginning, middle, and end. I also like how the show starts almost every ep with the past first and then goes into the future. I think Interminable could have done well with having the show start off this way. It would keep us more grounded on how things progressed in the past, instead of it solely being F Yai's flashbacks to do it. Then there can be more jumping around with the flashbacks during the rest of the ep.
well... first IQYI BL for me that wasn't up to standard. Looks pretty cheap, but meh its good enough to pass time.
when it comes to Korea, BLs are like the bottom rung of the totem pole to me, they never get the same amount of air time nor money as the other dramas which suck! I know Korea can produce a really good full length bl drama but they keep short changing it every time! I finally got my 12 ep fantasy in the recent goblin bl but it still didnāt go over an hour and still doesnāt have the same high fantasy flare like straight kdramas and I canāt understand why. We watch them and give them the views but at this point it feels like Korea is just throwing bls at us just to shut us up about them instead of giving us all they got like with the kdramas. IT SUCKS!!!!
When I say no, and I mean NO, BL or other drama has ever got me into a chokehold this badly, I mean it! Itās got me even watching this for a minute while I am sitting in the parking lot after work! This first ep is is just WOW! You can see the love in Yaiās eyes every time he looks at Kaewta! Billy is just so handsome and Babe is just so beautiful! The case already is showing what great, not good, but great acting is! I can not wait until Fridays and this winter so that I can curl up in warm blankets with my heater and watch this love story unfold!!!
This give vibes like "I Feel You Linger in the Air"... (Where's the Season 2 of that series, I thought…
Yeah, we all are waiting for that second seasonā¦sigh. I still donāt know how they can let a show like that not have a second season already. it was damn good!
The visuals for the trailer? Chiefās kiss! Blood redsā¦.flowers bloomingā¦Boom and Toeyās beauty?!!!
THAT WHOLE TRAIL IS MAKING ME FERAL BECAUSE OF HOW STUNNING THE WHOLE DAMN THING IS!!!!! ITāS LIKE A VIXX MV!!!!!
LOOK! I AM SETTED WITH POPCORN IN MY HANDS AND READ'TA GO!!!!
alsoā¦THATāS RIGHT, BOOM!!!! COME WITH IT!!!! DONāT LET THEM IDIOTS TAKE YOUR CROWN, HONEY!!!!! SHOW THEM YOUāS A KING AND ALL THEM SHOULD BOW DOWN!!!!!!!
Let me add here so that no one gets it twisted that I love Puppy Pooh too. This just hits different, you know?
