I remember seeing that scene. I thought it wouldn't actually be in the series since it was just in the pilot trailer, but I'm glad this cute sweet scene was included in here too. Thada seemed to enter cute mode so easily whenever he got jealous or sulking.

I think the older ML character is also around 40 years old.

I watch this for both Pan and Pond who have done such a great job here, how they both just look visually captivating together, and their magical chemistry. Wow what can I say, they've delivered.

Oh I see, that's a good point. Thank you for your review.

That's interesting, so you think that Thada's background was explained too late? I haven't thought about that before. What difference do you think it might make if Thada's background got revealed earlier?

Not sure if Tada also came back in time or not. Anyway I guess the turning point was the moment at the end of the first episode when Tada saw Armin's performance of that death scene.

Then came the beginning of episode 2 which let us know that in the original past life, Tada saw this performance from Armin the rookie/extra who didn't act so well at that time, so it didn't give such strong impression enough to make Tada want to go see Armin in person, maybe he hadn't fallen for him yet at the time.

However once Armin came back in time to 'reset' and act in this new timeline, this same performance came from Armin the experienced seasoned actor and made Tada tear up, since it hit Tada so hard that he felt terrified as if he were to lose Armin. This was probably when Tada started to fall for Armin, so he decided not to just watch and support Armin afar from the shadows anymore.

If Tada actually didn't also came back in time like Armin did, I think this event from seeing Armin's performance, leading to Tada's decision to reveal himself, was the turning point which started to alter following events to happen later in the new timeline.

I watch this for both Pan and Pond who have done such a great job here, how they both just look visually captivating together, and wow their magical chemistry.

We see Pharit in the preview, so he'll be in the next episode. Hope he'll have more screentime. In earlier episode Armin mentioned that they'd never worked together and were rivals. Now that they've got to work together, I wonder what direction their interaction will go, whether they'll still remain rivals or get along better in this timeline.

Oh please I don't want him to die. Hope it won't go that direction.

The scene at the end of the first episode, very shortly after Armin's 'Reset' started, Thada saw that performance of Armin's death scene. Thada teared up after seeing death played by Armin, the experienced seasoned actor, because it hit Thada so hard that he felt terrified if he was to lose Armin. I think that was the turning point which made him decide that he wouldn't just watch Armin afar from the sideline anymore, and was probably when he started to fall for Arrmin.

Then came the beginning of episode 2 showing us that in the original past life, Thada saw this performance but from Armin, the rookie actor/extra who hadn't acted very well yet. So I guess that performance in the original timeline wasn't strong enough to make Thada want to see him, maybe he hadn't fallen for him yet at the time. So he just kept watching him afar from the shadows.

Actually at some point in the novel as time passed in the original timeline, Thada decided to go see Armin in person. Maybe he realized that he already fell for Armin, but what Thada didn't know was at that point Armin had already been with Charlie for a while but they didn't go public. Then Janine told Thada about that just before Thada was about to go see Armin, so Thada changed his mind and didn't go. Thada got heartbroken as Armin was taken, and then Thada just went back to watch Armin from afar just like before.

You've made fair points and I agree too, it's hard to ignore those flawed details. Background music was a lot. It has turned out to become like a soap opera melodrama, maybe because this production house have done a lot fo Lakhon dramas for years, so they don't know how else to do it, and that's why they've made some changes from the novel to make the series more dramatic. The overall plot was similar in general, Armin came back in time to meet Thada and navigate his way back to stardom, but with some different details. In the novel Armin came back in time from the future to the present. I don'tknow why they picked this time period like 1999-2000's either. Maybe they wanted to add something about that Y2K thing. I understand that they wanted to do the billboard thing as it was in the novel too, but to do it at that time period it was somewhat hard to believe when the country was still more homophobic back then, it would make more sense at present time.

Well, we've seen some actresses, just a few though, like the stepmother, Aunt Jeed, and Ren's manager but they're all side characters. More female characters were in the novel. Thada had another female second secretary, and Janine was a girl. This adaptation to the series has been a dramatized version from the novel, not that I don't like it though. Despite having read the first book of the novel, I still can't guess exactly what will happen next in the series because of such changes and how it's been dramatized. I guess that's good as it still keeps me anticipating what to expect. I actually like both the novel and so far the series, I think they're both fun in their own ways. Thank god we've got Pan and Pond who look great together, visually captivating, I guess they're an important part which has carried the show up until now. Anyway I'll try not to take those plotholes too seriously, thanks to the amazing chemistry of Thada and Armin. If not for them I'm not sure whether I'll enjoy and like the series this much as I do.

Yes, Armin was supposed to be in his forties at the beginning, and at least Thada was too, he was probably even older. They should’ve made them look older. Maybe they thought that his glasses and change of hair style would do the work, but that was kind of not enough.

I think the English translation is available on wattpad, but we can find a link from here too. On this ‘Details’ page of this series, go to ‘Recent Discussions’ section, click the title ‘Novel link or spoilers’ and look it up. I think someone has posted a link to read this novel on wattpad.

That’s one of the theories. Still not sure if Thada came back in time too though. We still don’t know exactly if that was really Thada’s flashback from his own memory, or maybe they just simply wanted to give us a glimpse of what happened after Armin’s death with Thada’s reaction in the original timeline. Guess we just have to wait and see then.

Right, First did a good job here.

I’ve read the first book of the novel, but I don’t really wanna spoil it for you. As for this adaptation, I’d say that a few characters have been changed in this show, and in the novel the story is sweet too, but this version in the series is more dramatized than the novel.

As a result despite having read the novel, I still can’t completely predict or know exactly what will happen from now on because of such changes. I guess that’s good because it still keeps me anticipating or wondering what’s next to expect. I actually like both the novel and so far the series. I think they’re both fun in their own ways.

Their magical chemistry keeps giving us smiles and warming our hearts.

A stalker, a loser, and a fool head over heels in love.
