Sailub has no business being that damn sexy. Were I under Oab's tutelage during that carrot scene, I would've chopped off three of my own fingers. He's just so orgasmically distracting.
I guess we'll just be watching Plawan failing upward the whole show. I'm finding his character difficult to like, honestly. Aside from Oab, I'm hanging around for JJ and Methas. I like their whole dynamic, and I absolutely adore JJ.
Mudmee is the only engaging character in this sequence of noisy commercials masquerading as a series.
This show is just...exceedingly hard to watch. I've been hanging on because I wanted to see the new material but, honestly, it isn't worth it if I have to grit my teeth the whole way there. For a series with so much product placement, virtually every single aspect of it feels so cheap.
I choose to imagine Joe's dumbass died again and the final episode was the fever dream of his dying brain. Only way I can stomach everyone—especially that bastard-ass douche canoe Tong—getting such happy-clappy endings. Every single character in this thing is a trash person except Wut and Actually Dead Joe's Mother.
I enjoyed this series and watching it with all the people in the comments. Whew, what a ride.
I am certainly watching this one just for the sex. I do the same with straight romances that have bad scripts but sensually matched actors. I enjoy the aesthetics of sex, and I can appreciate it when a series serves it up.
Yes no NC scene but I like it. It's surprising and unexpected but I'm still hooked.
I'm pleased for you. Not all series will appeal to everyone, and this one is definitely not for me. But I like the sexual chemistry between FortPeat, and so I'm hanging around for that aspect.
Well, that, and the lingering hope they'll go back to the sea. The cinematography over, under, and in the water was breathtaking, I'd love to see more of it. And more of them diving too. Watching the BTS on that element was fascinating.
Not a fetish. I just refuse to pretend that the NC scenes aren't the main reason I'm watching.
The show is the usual poorly written MAME nonsense, and since they've now left the gorgeous seaside, the only draw is FortPeat getting hot and heavy. Without that element, there's nothing worthwhile in the series.
Is it sex or other peoples' unapologetic enjoyment of it that makes you uncomfortable?
Only two episodes in and I'm already annoyed watching Ryan stupid his way through this internship. I did laugh when Jane snapped at him about not talking; I've actually shouted "Speak!" a couple of times myself throughout these two episodes. Ryan really does come off like he has a neurodevelopmental disorder of some kind, although I can't tell if that was the actual intent.
The series so far is just "meh". It's not good, it's not bad, it's just *shrug*.
I agree with all that, but at least it was well-executed from an acting & directing standpoint.The writing in…
The acting in this series has been, on the whole, nicely above average, which is another reason I'm irritated. The cast is turning in rather nuanced performances but they keep getting randomly knee-capped by the script (every single thing they've done with Taemrak, for instance). There is such conflict between what we're being shown through the act of visual storytelling, which is appropriate for the medium, and what we're being told through lazy exposition dumps and "let's get this over with" dialogue. It's jarring.
Your vision of the future is both hopeful and bleak. I like it.
I agree with all you wrote. But your mistake was thinking GMMTV is interested in story. Any GMMTV series exists…
It wasn't my intention to come across as defensive, apologies. I'm just frustrated with this series, and how production companies like GMMTV keep squandering opportunities to deliver decent shows. Not perfect, not life-altering, not intellectually engaging, just decent. It's migraine-inducing how often they manage to shoot themselves in the foot for no reason.

But I guess if I had to choose: "Big Dragon" is more watchable. It's not good but it's...better.
