I'm a bit confusrd by the cast, could someone eplain if thr story follows season 1? And if so, what about previous…
The story does follow season 1. Both seasons follow the same core friend groups:
The 'doctor' crew with Hill, Johan, Tonfah, and Arthit
The 4 minis with Easter, North, Typhoon, and Dao
We've already seen HillEaster and JohanNorth's stories, so this season focuses on TonfahTyphoon and ArthitDao + TigerNao who are North's friends.
As for this episode, the timeline is before Season 1 begins. Tonfah and Typhoon meet and spend time together 2 months before university starts and Season 1 begins with Easter and North meeting and befriending Typhoon during freshman orientation.
Maybe watch first before giving your opinion about typhoon. How is it stupid that he is hiding his sisters dead…
Actually there's a reason why Typhoon doesn't want to tell Tonfah about his sister's death. Let's just say it's related to very deep trauma within him. He wants to share his pain with Tonfah, but his relationship with his parents, which was already bad, got worse after his sister's death and he thinks that will happen will Tonfah too.
Second, Typhoon has been abused by his parents all his life. His father was physically, emotionally, and verbally abusive while his mother was a bystander. His sister was the only one who took care of him so she was known for being super overprotective of him. She used to say she'll live with him and take care of him her whole life, that's why Tonfah is surprised they're separated.
Because of Typhoon's PTSD and abuse-related symptoms, there are tons of things he cannot do alone. One is being able to navigate because his parents never allowed him out of the house when he was younger. So his sense of direction is terrible, which is why he gets lost so often. Second is his fear of the dark and loud noises. Third is his self-harm and suicidal tendencies (not touched upon yet in the show, not sure if they'll go there) which is why his sister was always around him.
Okay episode one dropped two days ago! And I’m sat. I still can’t get over the last-minute chaos though. It…
One small correction, GMM25 isn't GMMTV's channel, it's that of their parent company's (GMM Grammy). GMMTV is a very small subsidiary of GMM Grammy. In fact, the whole company only has one floor (30th) in the GMM Grammy building!
For reference, One31 and Change2561 are also GMM Grammy subsidiaries
when i said that i wanted gmmtv to make a series about a gay couple, where one partner has AIDS / HIV, i didn’t…
Aston's character hinted at having HIV from birth, so probably a tranmission at pregnancy. Again, it's a stereotype that HIV only spreads through sexual contact and a lot of children/teenagers who have it suffer because of that view.
New has directed serious shows before. His best work, Until We Meet Again, explored generational trauma in the LGBTQ+ community.
Seeing June finally get her lead role after being in the industry for 7 years is very gratifying as a fan. Of course, Mewnich has been acting for a long time, but has had main roles before.
I'm only on 2 episodes in and I'm freaking the fork. This is so good. I hope there are more seasons to come as…
I've always imagined the show as having three seasons + a fourth focusing on BrightWin.
The creators said they wanted Enigma to be like James Bond with different female leads and villains in each instalment, but an overarching one at the end.

TigerNao aren't part of the doctor/drawing club friend group and just know them in passing. They're North's friends in the same major.
This has tons of lakorn references and Thai-specific humor that's very tough to translate to English.
