Nak Rak Mak Mak Mak (2025) - Nak ends up in the present day and starring in a remake of her story. Another one where familiarity with the legend is assumed.
Whattt??? Another version of pee mak? But might watch for Krist
More like Pee Mak is another version of Nang Nak, which is another version of the Mae Nak legend. Watch a few of them and it's clear how much love Thais have for the story and Nang Nak in particular. They'll always be looking for new ways to tell this story <3
This was so well done. Nothing needs to change even if some want more from it. It would have been a different story with different people then. Can you see how this was theirs and the ending says so much?
This might be best considered as a workplace drama rather than a medical drama, it's just that the workplace is a hospital. Young adults making mistakes, figuring things out.
Ok, so is this from Sammon's universe too? Since Tonnam is listed as acting in a guest role as Dr.Sing...
They're both listed as Singharat, so maybe? Was his last name included in Triage? Maybe in the novel? Tonnam's been in several Thai PBS titles, maybe someone thought it would be a fun wee Easter egg? Aside from the graphics to explain medical terms in Thai, the two series couldn't be more different in feel so it's just a nod.
So we're back to missing the way it's a critique of toxic masculinity in many forms then? Everything is called out and there's something embedded underneath which explains so much about Ton. Bring your attention and intelligence to this one. If you just get caught up in reactions you'll miss so much.
Tonhon's parents uprooted them to move to Bangkok when he was a kid to separate him from Chon because they were gay. Childhood best friends reuniting is not an over-used cliche here, it shifts the meaning of everything else we've seen.
That's why Ton both has gay best friends and refuses to see what's in front of his eyes regarding their relationship - he can't risk losing them as well. It's why he's trying so hard to pretend he's het he's vulnerable to getting caught up in performing all that toxic masculinity crap.
His is a trauma narrative embedded in a comedy. Unconscious for Ton, unknown to those around him and hidden deep inside, as trauma often is, with seemingly strange and problematic behaviours coming from it. Behaviours which make sense once you recognise them as attempts to cope and begin to understand the causes.
Thais excel at this layering. It's in so many of their movies. A Boss and a Babe also embeds old trauma in a comedy and keeps it light by making Cher an irrepressible force of nature who makes others laugh to hide his own pain and focusing the story on men taking care of each other, the friends as well as the couples. I'm Tee, Me Too has grief at its core and the way small things sometimes get in deep. There are more, look for them.
It's not like western dramas, where trauma has to take over and dominate everything. It's not what US drama has become, with every moral lesson starkly annunciated in terms no one can possibly miss.
If you hate this series, or see it as light and fluffy, please hold onto to these thoughts a while and see if your view of it doesn't change.
Someone explain to me what with the fly ?? Bee ? That make Ajin life back ?Is it that stone that Ajin keep or…
From the first Enigma, Ajin is able to control bees and uses them for some of his magic. We've seen surveillance in both the first Enigma and this one (there's one flying around at the very beginning, at the initial audition). Not sure why it activates his powers at the end.
If you've seen this and the SK original, which would you recommend to watch first? I'm partial to the Thai way with this sort of story but I don't know much about Taiwanese and SK movies.

One Translate simplified the Thai title to Pirate Cannon, but another insists it's Cannon of Salad and now I want a katoey pirate comedy with a suitably outrageous reason for there being salad in the cannon =D =D =D
It's a powerful story, but this movie is foreigners to the rescue. IMO The Trapped 13, which focuses on the boys, their parents and coach, is far better.
