Episodes 2-6 were really amazing, particularly mesmerizing in a visual sense. I didn't care much for the lead actress - in my opinion, she looks too surgically enhanced and also doesn't really portray the character well, as if art is something disconnected from her. I don't see her, or wasn't able to see her, as an artistic character. Episode 7 disappointed me greatly, and I hope at least the final episode will be good enough to make up for it.
One could say that in Episode 7 the magic disappeared because suddenly the male character was perceived as miserable, weak, and really unattractive. In other words, all the character building towards someone mesmerizing who attracts women like a magnet dissipated, and he was perceived as someone not worth investing time in and even pitiful. This might be what caused the series to suddenly lose its magic. In my opinion, the screenwriter should have done this gradually rather than suddenly, or alternatively given a few more episodes to digest this change. I also think it's too dramatic and kitschy that they were about to meet and confess, and suddenly something stops it - this simply ruined everything because actually the previous episodes weren't kitschy.
but this is not a Thai show but a Japanese version
You keep writing again and again that it’s the Japanese version, and I keep telling you that the script is Thai. It doesn’t matter if the editing was changed; essentially, it’s the same storyline with the same script. Did you even watch the original?
Have you watched it yet? I kinda disagree about your 'opinion'. First, this drama is a special program for the…
I watched the first episode, and it really felt like a commercial. From what I saw, the episodes seem to be designed for advertisements rather than for the storyline. If I remember correctly, weren’t the names of the places also mentioned? In any case, I also don’t think it’s right to promote such places, even indirectly.
I don't usually get emotional, but the scene where Minase was smoking is really something.
Is it possible that this part is cut in some versions? I didn’t see him smoking; I understood he smokes from the girl’s comment, but there wasn’t such a scene in the episode I watched.
....I don't understand one thing; why was it necessary for H and M to break up? It's a bit like Hurikawa used…
His father passed away, and it was very difficult for him to cope with the loss, especially as a Teen. He noticed Minsas’s grades were declining and tried to control himself, avoiding getting too close to him. He believed he was a bad influence on him. He also realized he had no control over his violent impulses (as seen during the snooker incident). He understood that he might hurt those he loves in the future and said he doesn’t want to be like his father. He felt he had to do everything possible to ensure that wouldn’t happen, so it would be best to distance himself until he could be confident in himself.
I'm dropping it, just like I quit the Thai series at this point, because the plot is absolutely terrible.If a romantic scene turns into a horror movie that, in some way, trivializes all these extreme events and reduces them to cheap drama in an instant, it simply cannot work. It's a joke... but this is very common in Thai series, so it's clear we're dealing with a poorly written script.
The main character is unbearable, but it's still a cute series, and there's no doubt that Chiba is very attractive. He's one of those who are hard to resist.
