Pok and Tong for the win! They were the most lively plotline in today's episode.
Two things I've noticed for a lot of Thai series:
1) The college 'dorm rooms' are bigger than my apartment, and the dorm buildings look like apartment buildings.
2) When two guys are roommates they share one bed. (There are exceptions, of course, like in TharnType and Love By Chance.)
As roommates, are Pok and Tong really going to be sleeping in one bed with all that sexual tension between them? Neither of them is going to be able to get a wink of sleep until that gets sorted lol.
alright, I have to ask: is the hair part of the uniform?why make such a big deal out of all the highschoolers…
What I've noticed in Thai dramas, Kdramas, and Cdramas alike is that the boys usually have bangs when they're young then start parting their hair once they get older -- and the dividing line is usually when they go off to university.
There's probably an analogous thing for the girls but it doesn't seem as persistent.
As for Destiny, I what the series *might* be trying to do is to discount Phai's 'vision' as being about the premonition of Thanu getting injured, with Wayu's vision being more about their future relationship.
Meanwhile, Thanu made me laugh for real when he said he would need to keep a distance from Wayu while he took care of Phai. He's starting to look a little nutty haha.
Am I the only one who thinks Wayu is a bit...manipulative? I’ve seen quite a few instances of this. Like, he…
Wayu's constant pity party has bugged me since the beginning. The character is boring so I didn't really care about his storyline, but unfortunately it has taken up a lot of screen time.
Episode 2 is cute. A storyline is starting to come together.
Que is gay -- his joke that he and Nam are just friends was not a joke -- and his attraction to Bhu seems pretty clear.
Right now Tae is into Bhu as well, but I think once the dust settles it will be Tae and Nite as the leading pair and Que-Bhu as the second pair. Que and Bhu will be arguing over who gets to be top man haha.
I really liked the Chinese version and I was very excited to see the Korean version, however so far, although…
Ironically, because Heon is 'softer' in this version, his moments of cruelty come off worse than in the Cdrama. The mood shift required for him to go from gentle to vicious is a bigger leap. It makes him look a little unbalanced.
I'm looking forward to when the Kdrama finally timeshifts forward to college and adulthood. The FL will look age-appropriate and lose the cutsie mannerisms, and Heon will hopefully show a more acceptable personality.
Forgive me if you absolutely love this K-drama. I wouldn't say I like it as much as I like the Chinese version.…
When he called her a loser he lost a lot of points with me. I also don't like that the FL takes that kind of abuse then forgives him when he simply says 'Don't leave' after he hears she might switch schools.
Then when she was being relentlessly attacked by a classmate while they were all in the library prepping for the debate, he said and did nothing.
And in the new episode, we're meant to see it as positive character development because he says 'maybe' when Sol Yi asks him for a favor.
Ah, but the affectless idol actor is cute when he does manage to smile, so who cares about the rest?
You nailed it. They botched this by not giving us the build up. The trailers were so good. I wanted those scenes…
Yes, a huge disappointment. I almost didn't bother going past Episode 1 but once I saw the trusty 'tutor' trope take the stage I decided to stick around. :)
Not sure how the new remake will be better than this unless they have more scenes with the Main leads in and show…
I've been rewatching in preparation for the new edition. This will be my third time through.
Every actor here feels just right in their roles. I'm curious how the alternative version will cast such character as Ming Rui (always wearing shorts haha) and Bai Li. After so many Cdramas where the female best friend/roommate is portrayed as a ditz, I love how Bai Li evolves away from that stereotype and becomes her own person.
I'm curious about the decision to go with the endless montages where we see the characters talking but don't hear the dialog. Did they film using an actual script but decide to scrap it?
The Golf-Bank relationship is slow going. I really wish they had worked up some suspense before Bank learned that Golf was alive, and then give us more build-up before their reunion.
The cuteness of Mon, who plays Nuea, is off the charts. I like the Tar-Nu side couple the best.
A distinctive feature of Wayufilms productions is their use of an orchestral score for the OST. One of my lasting memories of the 'My Bromance' movie is how beautiful the music is, and there's the same aesthetic with this series and with 'The Rain Stories' (which is set in the same universe as 'My Bromance'. In fact Golf makes a brief appearance in the second story.)
If you ever rewatch the 'My Bromance' movie, pay special attention to the music that plays under the scenes where Golf finds Bank on Bank's birthday and where Golf rushes to him after Bank's confession. Simply gorgeous.
Of course we understand the limited budget. Of course Bank needs a lot of time everyone he loved lied to his face…
I'm with you. In my experience this studio has a tendency for downer endings so I hope to hell that this series ends on a happy note. It would be really cruel of them to string us along about a sequel for all this time and then deliver one that doesn't have a HEA.
Loved seeing Bew again, and the pairing with P'Tod. So often a series will rush to redeem a wicked character in a way that they don't deserve, but this series made it believable and I for one was happy to see it happen. We ended up caring about Bew and wanting the best for her.
Preen's performance in the role was pitch-perfect. I want to see more from her. GMMTV should team her up with Sammy as two sisters and build a series around them.
I believe we can all agree that we are all satisfied with the ending. Oh, and Namtan (Boom) in a wedding dress!…
You can tell that everybody involved in the production believed in it and wanted to give fans their best. They really aced this one from start to finish. What a great ride!
And then Wayu was making all that fuss about it and didn't notice.
They must have been filming on a tight schedule that day. LOL

Who does this leave for Nam .... Coach? lol
Ohm is funny. I hope we'll see more of him.
