Good Grief

The description on MDL here is a bit vague. I'll paste a translation of synopsis given on the local platform that I'm watching this show on.

Sroi and Mala were best friends and traditional dancers in a theater troupe. They were destined to reach the pinnacle of their careers together, but the appearance of a man fractured their friendship, forcing Mala to leave. Despite this, for many years afterward, Sroi and Mala's fates remained intertwined through the ups and downs, pain, and losses of life. More than just a story of love, hate, and revenge between two dancers, "The Bangkok Red Opera" also portrays the Golden Age of Traditional Thai dance and the historical factors that led to its decline.

Now that we're 4 episodes into the show, I can see a bit clearer of the narratives they've been trying to set up: how Thai theatre forms change through out the years, how the "new" form of musical theatre was looked down upon at its beginning, how traditional Thai dance was once at its golden era but gradually went in decline; using the complicate relationship between two female dancers to showcase all of this.

It's such a fascinating period show to watch. I can understand why this project won the Thai government support grant from THACCA.

yup, thats why if family was looking for a spouse if the female was around 18 or if the male was 20+ there was question about what was wrong as in serious character flaws and such. Some male would get married later than females, especially if they were studying and prioritizing imperial examination.

Getting married at 14 or 15 years old before is like getting married at 21 in today's standards. Getting married at 18 is like getting married at almost 30 now. Thats why women in the last who are in their 20's and not married yet are considered leftover women.

Even younger, in Korea there is a reason why 100 days is considered the best celebration because of high mortality rate for infants. If they passed 100 days it means they are lucky. In ancient china the life expectancy for people is less than 40 years old. Wars, diseases, famine etc. healthcare isn't a thing back then. Even kings are dying as early as in their 20's due to health problems.

many people died in like what? their 30s

I really hate when people applies modern standards to a ancient themed drama. Majority of men and women got married before 18 specially women because back in the day mortality rate is very high and reaching 40 years old before is like reaching 70 years old by today's standards. Watch the drama as what the genre is telling you not your present and modern morals!!

You should be able to see the submission status, unless you're viewing entirely on mobile. On desktop, this is how it appears: https://www.imagebam.com/view/ME1CSVTI

Noooo, The director forgot him 🤣

Was the shaman even got rescue/saved in the end,?

Teasing. It's called teasing. Are netizens so sensitive they can no longer recognise slightly sarcastic teasing?!? It's these interactions that make the show watchable.

People's reasons for giving backlash is becoming more ludicrous with each passing day. Most of the content in these reality shows is scripted, actors join these projects for sole purpose of continuous popularity.. It's likely that these shows will have their own bizarre moments to spark viewers curiosity.
My condolences to those who take these things otherwise.

A generous heart doesn't need broadcasting,. However, IU has been consistent from the start of her career in donating to areas she's passionate about, namely children. It's been proven that donations by 'celebs' fuel the general public to follow suit, and that is good enough reason to NOT accuse the delightfully adorable actress and singer of having her name associated with every generous sharing of her wealth. She's adored bc she's genuine. She's adorable bc she sets a great example for how one's money can be used for the greater good versus for nefarious purposes such as gambling, doing drugs, or having the latest hyped surgical procedure done. For the last, I hope she remains one of the rare few who marches into older age 'as is'.

Ps. This article led me to her profile again, and I see MDL has made another change by adding photos underneath the description on individuals' profile pages. Cool!!! Also, the first/bottom-most comment usually cannot be Edited and MDL has fixed that inconvenience.
Ps.s Lily Alice, this is the 'feel good' type of article we'd like to see from you on MDL. No, they don't receive the Likes like the rag-type/controversial articles do, but people are already burdened in real life and NEED uplifting anywhere they can get it.

She looks like yoona in that first pic or am i tripping

She is as cute as ever...
