So they changed it up from the book ... Mud stopped Knight in time .... still ridiculous in terms of the storyline and people's actions/reactions making any kind of sense. And so not worth the chaos of the last couple weeks.
I'm with the folks who think GMM needs to put more effort into action choreography. I've been thinking that for a while. And now that it looks like they are taking serious steps to branch out from the "romance core" into more diverse and complex storylines, I hope they follow through so that their actors have the best chance to succeed.
Loving Revamp though. Cool concept and I'm enjoying the vibe of it. Boun and Prem make it work.
I think the show lost focus on who they wanted us to root for. It was supposed to be a rom-com, but the unundertones…
- Way too much MinJu ... let it go for a bit for any supposed "rom-com" elements, but it just got pathetic watching a woman continually chase after someone who didn't even have the guts to stand up for himself or his relationship. He was taken and uninterested, but continued to let MinJu hang on him and pull him around. Neither one of them were very self-aware. - Way too much JiHun if YunJae was never going to feel the same way for JiHun that he felt for JiEun. - Way too much parental guilt with both sets of parents if they weren't actually going to deal with anything. With JiEun's parents, the mother always looked guilty and heartbroken, which definitely played a huge part in how JiEun dealt with things. Had her mother been more supportive and less gloomy then we could have definitely seen more of the "rom-com" they wanted us to see. And YunJae's mother ... don't get me started on her drama queen act when she overheard the technically-true-but-not-actually news about YunJae and JiHun being together. It became all about her as she crushed the soul of not only her son but JiEun/JiHun too. So selfish. - Way too little of JiEun and her journey. We got confused and sad JiEun, and then perky JiEun when she "came back". But we didn't really get much of the story from her side, and they waited until the very end for her to really make any real declaration on what she wanted. We could guess, of course. But since she spent 80% (or more) of the series at JiHun ... her bit at the end seemed like too little, too late. We needed more depth when she was in her female form. Instead we got cutsy. Most of the character depth came when she was JiHun.

I have read one of the books and Knights mother is the current wife. Pers mother was the first wife ( divorced)…
Wondering if it’s a major/minor wife situation … with Per’s mother being the Major (1st, legal wife) and Knight’s mother being the Minor (legal protection similar to a wife, similar to the concubine status in the past.) I’ve seen that in a couple modern Thai dramas.
I have read one of the books and Knights mother is the current wife. Pers mother was the first wife ( divorced)…
Per's mother is the one beside the father in public and living in the same house as Knight while Knight's mother is in the back of the crowd at the play. Why would Per's mother be living in the same house with her ex husband and his new family?
So, Knight and Per are half-brothers, with the same father, who I think isn't aware of the history between Knight…
Per's mother hired someone to follow the boys .... and the investigator brought details and pics in episode 5. It was why people were theorizing about Per and Knight being related because they used the same exterior shots for each of their houses
this "explanation" got stretched way to much and unnecessarily.. there were so many opportunities where…
That guy is either a brother or a cousin. He says brother and "oldest grandson of the family" .... but cousins often call themselves brothers too. The fact that his name is Peem instead of something that matches with Mud and Mild tells me he's a cousin.
Light on the comments .... so I'm guessing many dropped this after last week or were waiting to check comments before starting it this week. It's already been 3 hours since ep 6 aired and it's been relatively quiet since. I wonder if the studio/production teams are rethinking their plan for this one after the last week of reactions?
im absolutely disgusted with the way this has played out. The gaslighting from Mild's family. Oh it happened for…
completely floored. I was willing to give it a chance because of the people hoping that the series would deviate from how it happened in the book .... but this was just awful from the first minute until the last.
Wow .... almost speechless. Even if it isn't as bad as we are expected to believe (and we still don't know at the end of the episode) ... the fact that Knight knows what Mild thinks happened and he still has the nerve to crowd into Mild's space and touch/grab/hug/kiss him after being told to leave him alone!! Really? They think that girlfriend drama with the other couple and a random influx of surprise siblings we didn't know about was going to gloss all this over???
And the overly romantic montages with music through the whole thing. Mild folding like cheap card table like the fight was over eating the last snack instead of something much more serious??? I don't even know what the show runners expect from us right now.
It doesn't even matter what the "true" story is (which we still haven't gotten at 40 minutes in) .... Knight is out of line ... everyone is out of line. And Mild just has to take it all and is expected to forgive like nothing happened just because Knight "really likes him".
grrrr ... the amount of victim blaming is awful. Nothing is this ep tells me that Mild has real friends who actually care about him. And the free pass Knight is getting ... ugh ... and we haven't even gotten a real answer about what happened. It's all "move on" and "make sure to eat your snacks".
