I am subtitling this series. You can find it on my LJ or DO :)hsjhoshi.livejournal.com
Is there a way to watch the videos through you without downloading them? My PC is old and I cannot do that. Could you upload them the way Irozuku does?
This character reminds me a bit of Forrest Gump: they lack reasonable communication skills or the ability to understand…
Okay, it’s possible. I didn’t read the manga, and it could also be related to the actor. There is something emotionally flat about him. There was a scene where he was supposed to be disappointed, but he couldn’t convey it, and then I realized it might be that he himself, as an actor, does not know how to express those emotions.
I think it's cute but it feels just slightly too flat, especially from Minato. Absolutely gorgeous man but not…
This character reminds me a bit of Forrest Gump: they lack reasonable communication skills or the ability to understand the other side emotionally.
As often happens with manga, it simply can’t fully develop. This happens quite a lot—since they follow the source material literally, they won’t change it or add dialogue.
He has a crooked face and a terrible bite. He needs an orthodontist immediately.
I think that at first glance his face is hard to process, but once you start to see that he can actually act much better than most Thai actors, you end up seeing him in a completely different way, and he looks perfectly fine. That is what happened for me.
It was clear that this episode would come once Jimmy started to regret things, but in my opinion the fact that he constantly pities himself instead of acting, persisting, and apologizing again and again to To comes across as pathetic, unconvincing, and boring. In addition, his rival, Freez, is not attractive in any way; he is even somewhat creepy. Talking about relocating to another country before a relationship has even begun is strange, and overall he is not very interesting.
I think the plot would have worked much better if they had cast an actor who could be at least somewhat charming and engaging, allowing Toh to truly move on. That would have been far more compelling than returning to someone who mistreats you. Self-pity alone is not enough.
I wish they would spare us the coercion and the forced merging and mixing of this. It’s a very selfish request, but It’s like mixing water with oil—it doesn’t work, it isn’t good, and it doesn’t benefit anyone. Who does it benefit?
It's good but ngl the plot is just going around in circle for 4-5+ episodes now. I mean, we will not have this…
That is the whole point, That is also the title of the series, so the criticism contradicts the title. There is small progress in every episode, and this week’s episode was definitely significant. And yes, there will probably be a setback next week, but it is two steps forward and one step back.
I really love both of them and the series, but there is something restrained about Yoshizawa that perhaps does not convey attraction, so there is not as much tension as there could have been between them. Still, it is charming,
Do young people in Thailand really live like that, in their own villas with a pool? Where are the parents? Did they buy them such huge villas? What’s going on with Thailand — isn’t it considered a third-world country anymore?
This series is wonderful and genuinely funny, but I think it is primarily intended for a Japanese audience. When I compared the English subtitles with what they actually say, there is a substantial difference. There are jokes that only Japanese viewers understand, such as references to historical Japanese figures and the nicknames the student gives them, which are distorted versions of their names. This can only be understood in Japanese, because the meaning cannot be conveyed in an English sentence. I noticed this as well in the newer episodes;
Still, I really enjoy the dynamics and the cartoonish quality of these exaggerated characters. The acting is excellent.
At first I wondered why people don’t like Japanese series, while I enjoy watching them. The international audience always has criticism and complaints. Then I remembered what I already know: it’s better that they don’t watch them, so they won’t be forced into the boring Western narrative, and they’ll always remain as they are.
