I keep seeing Jo walking around here and there and he seems like such a nice but eccentric guy. I keep wondering what his position is in Good Pick, but maybe he's the big boss overall.
It's only the 4th episode and it's only day 4, so I understand why there is no big development in the romance department. However, I like the pacing thus far.
What I liked about this episode:
* Jane's faith in Pie. I'm glad that he saw her worth and his willingness to give her a second chance after her blunder on the set says a lot about him.
* Moo and the other guy defending the girls from being harassed by the pervert.
* Pah is a clown (and a sweetheart)! I love him! His failed Ethan Hunt attempt to catch the falling hard drive had me in hysterics!
* Love, love, LOVE the over-the-top dramatic Indian serial and the Mission Impossible scenes! Chef's kiss! I guess I need to find something with Ranveer Singh and TC to occupy my time soon.
* LIVING for Ryan and Pie's friendship. LIVING! ... but also, I don't mind watching a series in which Gun and View are the main couple because their chemistry is just right. Same with Off and Kapook.
* That scene in the office where Ryan and Pie were "shadowing" Jane was my favorite highlight of this episode. I watched that scene too many times to count.
* That fleeting moment Ryan and Jane shared in the storage room ain't it. It's when they both realize that the oil they use for pain relief is the same, that's going to launch the JaneRyan ship. And maybe I'm reading too much into this, but I hope Pie doesn't like Jane... or Ryan for that matter.
The fact that so many people are annoyed at Ryan just goes to show that Gun managed to portray his characters…
Gun is a brilliant actor! He embodies whatever character he is given. If you want him to be the "damsel in distress" he's going to be just that. If you want him to be a psychopath, he's going to become one. I can never complain about his acting because I consider him top tier when it comes to acting in Thailand. When his new series comes out, many are going to be praising his acting because those are the roles many seem to appreciate him in the most.
Jane's got the ladies singing his sexy praises... and who can blame them? I'm basically the captain of that club. 🙃
So, this is what I take away from this episode:
* I want to slap Ba-Mhee. Judy is too kind and patient with her.
* Jane. Jane. JANE! I need a breather. I'll talk about Jane later.
* Ryan is out of his element here. After all, he is an Economics student and he doesn't know anything in this field. However, this was his 3rd day of internship, and he was reliable in the end.
* Pie. The poor girl has to remember that this is not like the accolades she has received in college. I know that she's eager and excited to sink her claws into everything, but this is real work, not a playground, and it's what internships are for. Also, please, Pie, stop getting Ryan in trouble.
* Can't wait for that Pie and Pah pairing! It's gonna be chaotically sweet!
* I want to slap Ba-Mhee.
* I love the fact that the shaky camera technique was used to emphasize the chaos on the set.
* I love that Jane took accountability on behalf of his interns. It shows that underneath the strict demeanor, he's a good mentor and a responsible leader. I also love that he taught Ryan the importance of an apology.
I'll post my thoughts later as I have a ritual of watching it twice before I could say what I really think: once with my sister & then when I'm alone. So far, I'm LIVING for Jane in today's episode.
I'm not from Thailand. And despite 'Cooking Crush' not being a hit with international viewers, it was a hit with Thai audiences as that's the type of comedy they go for.
I'm not sure about this entire viewership thing, but YouTube viewership is a part of it. Also, social media engagements (especially X). There was a video of Tha (GMMTV's CEO) talking about it, but sadly, I didn't pay attention. Thailand heavily relies on social media engagements. I don't know the ins & outs 100%.
