Jojo as the director... did he lose his touch or something? He really messed this one up even with a pair like…
Time pressure. It has been an ongoing issue at GMMTV for the past 3-4 years. Too many shows, series, fanmeets, events, variety shows, concerts etc... They have a huge roster of actors, keeping all of them occupied means quality suffers.
GMMTV does not make a lot of money from the series, most of them these days are a boxticking - something to keep up the momentum. Their new focus is on the concerts, merchandise and other similar commercial ventures.
I enjoyed this, it had some good moments and funny interactions between Tay and New, but the second couple somehow didn’t work this time. The relationship and interactions felt a bit off. But good work overall!
PS. We needed a lot more of Tui in this series, with a potential partner!
Hm... whilst I like Sea, I think he does struggle with his acting and his character portrayals. Based on that, I thought Sea's character in the pilot trailer was a good match for him, as it was similar to his personality, and he actually came across quite "adorkable" with his incessant "do you know that...". This apparent change in his character is not working for me (yet). Keen on the other hand is very much a natural entertainer, "quick on his feet", has great stage presence and sparkles whenever he's on screen or the stage. He has natural charisma which really draws you in, and this is something you can't easily teach. It's not surprising that he fronts clo'ver.
I'm going to be very controversial here and say something that will likely get me into a lot of trouble... but I think they were paired at a time when GMMTV did not appreciate or anticipate Keen's development, talent and potential. They were thrown together as almost like an experiment. But the two are worlds apart in terms of their development as actors and entertainers, and this is very much starting to show in all aspects. It's quite apparent in the trailer that the two are on different levels.
I also think this is down to them wanting different things in terms of their careers. It's clear Keen has great aspirations in the showbiz field (and the talent to match) whereas Sea seemingly sees this as a side hustle. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having different aspirations, and this is not criticism towards Sea in any way shape or form, but it does raise the question of how inflexible or flexible these fixed couples should be. The reality is that Keen would probably be better off with a different partner, and I wonder whether some breakups are caused by tension forming between actors for this reason.
Anyway - still looking forward to this, and I hope to be proven wrong so I can come back here and say I was!
I am sorry but, Sea's character is not really a weirdo or a nerd, he is just a popular guy who likes astrology,…
Agreed this makes no sense 😵💫is he popular or nerdy? Now he’s all of a sudden a basketball player as well? But he’s also quiet and shy?? For pete’s sake who writes these things?! Do they not sit in a room, review it and go “hang on, this makes no sense”.
Yes, there is plenty of symbolism. But there is no edge to it, it’s a little bit of a snooze fest 😴episode 5 was decent though. The dialogue hasn’t been there for episodes 1-4.
The religious aspect of this show feels more like a backdrop. The story wouldn't be much different if Fourth came…
it’s okay. There’s no edge to it. Episode 5 was pretty decent. Certainly not worth its current rating. Not sure how they’ll wrap this up in one more episode. It’s another rushed one from GMMTV due to schedule constraints.

Makes sense if Kanit is supposed to have a rich family. I doubt he would earn that much as a trolley dolly 😂
Also, where’s Tui??!! 😭He’s had so little screen time it’s borderline homophobic! (and by that I mean his gay fans don’t get to see enough of him)
