JOYFUL

Haha the actor I am talking about is Nadech Kugimiya.

I don't have an account on Muse nor know how to sub videos so I can't provide any but I know Thai so if you want an explanation or me to provide translation for dialogues of certain parts I can :)

Official subs probably will not be posted. Channel Three owns a Youtube Channel where they update this series weekly. You can support it by watching there. However, it is only the raws. Channel Three doesn't exactly support international fans and they don't provide english subtitles so you shouldn't expect any from truly "Official" sources unless they give the translation rights to a group to translate.

I think it's better not to put pressure on them even if they are or not. As someone who has known about Tono since his The Star years as a singer, he has been through a lot especially with relationships. It almost ended his career and he got "canceled" for several decisions he made and did not make. His previous relationship with that was public didn't exactly end well and it caused him quite the scandal too. So if he wants to remain private, I think we shouldn't speculate until he comes out himself.

*Of course, this isn't meant particularly for you the og post.

I thought the same thing. In Petchara's memory flashback, if you notice, Lata also defends him from Matira when she tries to stab him and gets stabbed instead, I have a very ominous feeling that Matira stabbed Lata in the heart. That may explain why PraoPloy has a weak heart in this reincarnation. And Lata also has an interest in drawing and PraoPloy herself is an artist. Also another thing to add (If you can understand Thai, I think it was very obvious) but Lata said something along the lines of "I wish I was more like P' Matira." In the memory flashbacks, another thing I noticed is Lata was there!! When Matira and Petchara met up on their's lovers meetings, Lata was there observing them from the shadows so this can also explain why Lata has dreams of Matira, because Lata was there for the events (the meeting of lovers, the event where Matira cursed Petchara!

On another note, I have a feeling Matira is one of the people involved with the showcase they are going to do with Petchara's heart which is now a gem. My suspects are currently Wipoo the owner of the resorts who definitely killed his family lol and the girl he called to cancel the showcase who happens to actually own the heart gem. Another thing I noticed is Wipoo speaks like he knows what's going on. And he has a curious attraction to Praoploy. What are the chances that he is actually the reincarnation of the second prince who taught Lata how to draw? If you notice, his life story is the same as the second prince. He is the son of a mistress just like the second prince. And it would explain the obsession he has with Praoploy since going on the theory that PraoPloy is actually Lata, the second prince loved Lata!

On another note, the brother and detective are a bit annoying lol.

I'm not sure what a bigger role would be. Yan Bingyun is an important role in the novel. It is just that his role is not that big in the first half but rather the latter half.

xd at the end of the last episode they said see you again and "season 1" which is a huge spoiler indicating their is a season 2 etc.

Fan Xian ends up with a lot of girls lol. Lin Wan er is one of them he actually marries. Si Lili I recall he had a child with. Some of the girls he had a romance with but never married. They might change this for the live action version since they usually do for novels that turn into live actions. It will likely be one single girl instead of a harem like in the novel. For now, end game girl is still Lin Wan er as Fan Xian hasn't considered any of the other girls romantically although the Live action has been making him have flirtatious moments with them (teasing at the romance) but he hasn't outwardly shone the interest he showed to Wan er on anyone else. I believe Fan Xian's modern mindset doesn't allow him to consider polygamy either.

If that is true, those fans are limiting Xiao Zhan's future and if I were Xiao Zhan, it is better not to have them. For example, it was very annoying when Joy of Life first came out and Xiao Zhan's fans kept complaining and typing in chat they came here for Xiao Zhan, where is Xiao Zhan, etc. Yan Bingyun is a good, memorable role. It allows Xiao Zhan to try out new type of role and acting and take a firm hold in the acting industry. The fans are doing Xiao Zhan a disservice and their active antagonistic comments will make his relationships with other actors strained. For example, this thai actor had really bad fans who only wanted him to act with a single actress. They attacked actresses if wasn't that specific actress. So, none of the actresses wanted to act with him. This limited the actors career and he is only famous in the industry for movies where he acts with the actress his fans approve. I like Xiao Zhan from The Untamed. I want him to improve and try many roles. He has a lot of potential. But his fans are really toxic and need to have more respect for other actors like Zhang Ruo Yun who is a phenomenal actor. It didn't sit right with me when the fans kept disrespecting him in Joy of Life 1. Joy of Life was the first time I saw Zhang Ruo Yun act, and I can say the main lead was chosen wisely. He fits the role and his acting is great. Xiao Zhan has done a great job as Yan Bingyun too. If he doesn't act anymore in this drama series, I think Xiao Zhan will lose a really great opportunity. Like they say, one mediocre main lead role over a superior supporter role is wasted potential.

I'm actually really scared to watch the second season of Ever Night exactly because they switched actors. I'm scared of being disappointed although am still going to watch it before forming my final opinion. Dylan Wang in Meteor Garden didn't really leave me an impression so I hope he has improved and will show something amazing :)

XD Wdym? Not every drama has to have romance? I like this drama lot. I think saying true to the novel is good. The novel had no romance and that is not the focus of the drama so....(sorry if I come off offensive or mean, did not intend to)

This is not romance based :) I recommend it for the bromance, friendships, and team relationship but nothing else. It has more to do with pursuing your goals, not letting obstacles get in your way, and not caring about what others may say about you because you know yourself, your motivations, and your dreams and goals better than anyone else. As @Petmac said, Tank Your Heart may fit the bill better for what you are looking for.

GO GO Squid is not supposed to be game based unfortunately. In the novel, it was set in the gaming league and the esports scene too but for some reason they changed it in the drama :( They used CTF (hacking competition) instead which kind of disappointed me.

It has to do with the long standing biases that surround playing "games". Think of yourself as a parent. One day, your child comes home and says they want to be a professional gamer and you indulge them in that thinking they will outgrow that phase only to see them really meaning to do it. The e-sports industry when Ye Xiu first began had not concrete salary, no future prospects, and it was a short lived career. After you reach a certain age, you will eventually have to retire. Ye Xiu is considered a pioneer in his field. He was one of the first Glory League players. He began when there wasn't any sports clubs yet. His family has always wanted him back especially since they are an affluent family and do not want their name shamed by him "playing" games and since they worry for him. This is especially true when he gets forced out of Jia Shi. The reason his brother wants him back in the family though is because his brother wants to escape and needs someone to take his place XD The twins don't want to be stuck at home (in the first place, Ye Xiu's twin brother was supposed to run away but Ye Xiu tricked him and took his suitcase and ID card with him. This is why Ye Xiu is known as Ye Qiu, he registered for the games as Ye Qiu with the ID Card).

Personally, I think they improved somethings in the drama, made some mistakes, and definitely fudged somethings. But it did not take out my enjoyment of the watching the adaptation. I am a fellow novel reader and when the anime came out, I honestly did not watch it because after the second episode, I lost interest. I think I didn't like the fact that the game character designs were too bright (I did like the Chinese element they had for the outfits though). The anime definitely does a better job of staying true to Ye Xiu's character though. The drama version makes him more human? He feels like someone who has gone through things and I could connect with his words and he just exudes wisdom but he isn't Ye Xiu? I do not know how to explain it. He just lacks that certain feeling that makes him the Ye Xiu I am familiar with. I do think Yang Yang did a good job with his acting though! Something I liked was the addition of his father's approval and understanding in the end. In the novel, Ye Xiu never received that and it made me so bitter so I guess some of those feelings were alleviated here in the drama. Personally, Chen Guo was not my favorite character here. The way they portray her makes me angry at times and the Drama Chen Guo does improve as time goes by but still, Chen Guo was not done justice? Su Mu Cheng is one of my favorites. I'm glad they didn't change her too much so I don't have a lot to say there. I did love the portrayal of the team captains and the veterans though. The respect they have for Ye Xiu is so real and it just makes me want to cry. I think this drama really did justice for the novel in this aspect. It was just so real. I could feel the camaraderie, the friendship, and the frustration of each character as well as the feeling of disappointment. I haven't read the manhua however since it isn't really to my taste :)

Dilraba is a wonderful actress :) I have seen several of her dramas and although I'm not a huge fan of Chinese actresses, I respect her acting. I really enjoyed her in Eternal Love! Hoping she will do Su Mu cheng justice too as Mu cheng is one of my absolute favorite characters. *The anime was too short. She didn't even appear that much :(
