I managed to get through 3 and a half episodes before rage quitting. All of the main characters are horrible people…
Zhang Yang destroyed his friend's future out of spite. He ruined his life for the foreseeable future. The college entrance exam is so important and now Xu Yi is screwed. Xu Yi sucks because he is so annoying. Yes, he is still a high school student and he was manipulated by an adult and it is not his fault but damn, he makes me want to pull my hair out. Li'Er is befriending someone who is a wrecker of worlds although she is also being manipulated by the one I hate the most. Li Ba La. What can I say about you that is nice. The answer: nothing. You agreed to destroy someone's life to be with some guy you said two words to. You are preying on young high school students when you should know better. You have strung along poor (annoying) Xu Yi just because you want to be with Zhang Yang. You also think you're in love with him for some reason. You seem to not care about anyone else but yourself and not only did you corrupt Xu Yi but now Li'Er has been roped into your trap. All in all, I think I need to go to the doctor for the rapid spike in my blood pressure because this show has made me insane. Maybe it gets better but I shall never know. I can't handle how much I despise all of the main characters. Fuck this.
I haven't seen the series- but this comment brought chuckles- there are so many series where it feels like they…
I plan to make that video I was talking about and spanning episodes 15 and 16, I have two and a half pages of notes regarding shots, stupid things, extended silences and garbage in general. It has gotten to me so much that I am devoting way too much time to this lol. It's so bad.
Okay, I hate to be mean because I liked this story but damn, the director and editing team all need to be fired, especially the editing team. I was watching this yelling "cut the shot" at the screen as each one over stayed its welcome. They reused the same establishing shots over and over again. There was even an establishing shot where the camera fell and they just kept it in. I cannot explain how bad the editing truly is. There was so much dead air and they didn't cut. Cut the damn shot. Also, why does Peem come to school with the same two books every day and why does he hold his pencil in his hand and not put it in his bag. Why does he have ONLY two books to begin with. I can go on and on about this episode so I may break it down and do a post somewhere but I'm not sure if anyone would be interested or where I should post it. Any advice?
Okay, this is just a fringe theory but I need to be mad at GMMTV for just putting this thought in my head. Why would they go into so much detail about Ray's prospective funeral, what would be played, how Sand would react etc. Remember that scene in the trailer where Sand was breaking down on the floor, what if it is because Ray has passed away and he's crying for him. What if we end the series with Sand being destroyed as that seems to be a common wish for this show. What if they end with Ray not being alive. Why do I have this thought, well, because I'm an overthinker and have made up this theory in my mind that this inconsequential conversation that was just supposed to be a tongue and cheek reference to the theme song is foreshadowing. What is wrong with me??
And so it ends, releasing us from its torturous grip 4 episodes early...
A series like this is special in the way that not a single damn thing went right. I mean, someone remembered to take the cap off the lens but I think it would have been better if they hadn't so that's still not right. If I could, I would erase the memory of this show from my mind and live a more peaceful existence but I can't, so instead I leave this comment here. Best wishes to the actors in the future.
Look GMMTV, if you were just out here to constantly break, give hope, break, give hope, break etc. Sand's heart (and by proxy, mine), you should have just said so. Can't my poor man have one episode where he isn't being strung along by Ray, getting his hopes up, just to have them dashed and squandered because Ray can't get his priorities straight. Sand is just so head over heels with Ray that he keeps being sucked back in to Ray's life even though he can clearly see that Ray has other ideas and is basically trying to have the best of both worlds. Have Mew as a main and Sand as a back up or at least that's how he's treating Sand. Sand deserves so much better. I'm sorry Ray that you've had a tough life but that is absolutely no excuse for your behavior and the way you treat people. It breaks my heart to see Sand constantly in this cycle of caring so much about Ray, realizing that he can never have Ray because Ray is obsessed with Mew, but then having Ray string him along once more. Ray needs to get his shit together and stop hurting people, particularly the person who cares deeply about him, Sand.
Okay, so everything has just gone to shit, that's great. I am not broken inside. I'm fine. All is good...
P.S. Can Top just fuck off! You're a terrible human being and I don't like you. Leave poor Mew alone. Go back to whatever evil lair you call home and leave us all alone!
Those ending lines from Sand have killed me. Add to that First's amazing acting and you may as well have stabbed me in the heart. Actually, stabbing me in the heart would have been a nicer thing to do because then I wouldn't have to wait and sit with these feelings until this situation is fixed and Sand is happy again. Happiness has escaped me...
I know everyone and their mother is talking about the terrible dubbing or ADR but it really is THAT bad. Not only is it out of sync but it makes them sound like they are in a void somewhere even when you can see other people around them and they're outside. I don't think they recorded any ambient noise because there is none. There is only terrible ADR.
Why is no one talking about the terrible red hair? It looks like someone got some of that temporary spray paint from the party store that you're supposed to be able to wash out of your hair that night. His hair looks crispy as well, just like spray paint. Who green lit that hair, who let this happen?! Just awful.
P.S. CUT THE SHOT
