If anyone has read the novel, I have a question: does Chan like Kheem? Because I'm confused. There are many moments…
I noticed Chan's long looks at Khem, too.
Chan has shown that he's got some natural ability for magic (for one thing, his incredible sense of direction when people are lost - he "senses" where they are). I'm wondering if he's looking at Khem like that because he can sense something about him, but isn't sure he should say anything.
Ep 5 - did anyone else but me think the scene where the elderly lady was helping the villagers call their vital force was rather beautiful? Her voice was so melodic and soothing.
I just started watching episode 1. I have some questions. If it’s in the series please kindly tell me to go…
1) I don't remember the answer to this one.
2) Car accident
3) In had the visions starting when he was younger, before his parents died. His mom also had the visions, so he seems to have inherited it from her. Beyond that, I don't remember anything else being explained about why he and his Mom both had them.
4) Tul, In and Dao went to university together. Not sure how long they knew each other before that. Tul isn't around much in the first few episodes, but he shows up later in the series, so you'll learn more about his character then.
I love that some moments in this series seemed unscripted, but were so perfect in their own small way that the director didn't cut them out of the scene.
Ep 6 - for instance, the scene around the 26:51 time stamp, where In is sitting in the rocking chair, and suddenly Thap gets up, straddles In's lap with a little grin on his face and starts kissing him. The actor, Sea, genuinely seemed caught off guard and giggled, then kissed back, but ended up using the drink bottle he was holding to block the rest of the kiss.
It feels unscripted, but it's such a lovely moment and fits perfectly.
I enjoyed the Thai version very much, and I'm enjoying the Japanese version, too. Of course they are not exactly the same. I'm glad, too. But there are enough similarities to keep me hooked.
Plus, I like the Japanese actors as well, especially Kunigami Masato. And Nishime Shun is a good Japanese equivalent to Peat's character, Rak, in the Thai version.
In Ep 5, the scene where Kaishin, with one tear rolling down his face, asks Ai to stay, and then Ai agrees and they kiss very tenderly, was one of my favorites.
I might have to stop watching this series (and some others), even though it's close to the end.
Being a Westerner, I simply cannot understand one's complete subservience to parents / elder family members to the point where you and your wants / needs / dreams / plans for your own life completely disappear.
You are not you anymore. Maybe you never were.
All you ARE is nothing but a vessel for THEIR unrelenting expectations, THEIR unrelenting demands, THEIR unrelenting criticisms of your life, THEIR unrelenting need to project everything onto you, THEIR unrelenting and mercilessly grinding sense of we-must-continue-the-traditional-way-or-everything-will-collapse-and-it-will-be-all-YOUR-fault.
The worst part is watching the younger characters continually GIVE IN to all of that ^^^^^^ over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and NEVER standing up for themselves. Even though it's a fictional story, I find myself grinding my teeth, clenching my hands and feeling my blood pressure rise.
And more than once, I have actually (no kidding) pounded the table with my fist and yelled "SAY SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!! DON'T JUST STAND THERE!!!!!!!!!!"
Ugh.
(I do not apply this same standard to series that are set in historical times. Only to ones set in modern times.
While, in the historical ones, I LOVE me some characters that do stand up for themselves, I recognize the consequences for that kind of defiance back in those eras could be / would most likely be severe if not life-threatening.)
I am enjoying this series so much. The political atmosphere, the activism, the relationships, the clothes, the music, the retro feeling of the late 60s, the hair.....everything is just done so well.
And the acting is fantastic. The entire cast is great, but Apo is the real standout.
The relationship between Krailert and Naran, while definitely full of real chemistry, has been bugging me. Something about it makes me feel that they won't have a good ending, but I couldn't quite pin it down.
I just realized what they remind me of.
Is anyone else besides me old enough to remember the movie, The Sound of Music? It's set during WWII, in Austria.
The daughter of the large Von Trapp family falls for a local boy, and they are very sweetly in love. But sadly, the boy joins the Hitler Youth movement. At a point in the movie, the daughter and her family are trying to escape Austria because they realize the Nazis are taking over. The father asks the boy to go with them, But he ends up choosing to follow the Nazis instead, and he blows a loud whistle to have them arrested as they're trying to leave.
^^^^^ THAT feels like Krailert and Naran, to me. They are in love, but I have a suspicion that Krailert will betray Naran and try to have him arrested.
I could totally be wrong, of course. But my sense of impending doom won't go away.
lol ikr! With Wen Lang & Gao Tu's scene, the light was already on when Wen Lang walked into the room, but…
It reminds me of another series - can't remember which one - where the actor had a real phobia of the dark.
The power went out, and the character started freaking out.....even though there was a huge window with a clear view of the outside, the moon and other lights outside. Instead of staying by the window, they went to the DARKEST part of the room, sat down with their arms around their knees and trauma-rocked back and forth. LOL

How in the world did we wait this long for this series, and yet the fight scenes are SO BADLY CHOREOGRAPHED???
I mean, I actually laughed out loud. And I'm sure that's not the reaction the director was hoping for.
And honestly, I'm wondering where the chemistry that Boun and Prem USED to have in Between Us went.
Am I the only one that feels like they're just not connecting in Revamp?

Just a guess.

I see now that it will get darker, so that's good. Looking forward to more episodes.
*sigh*
I hope this series gets darker. I feel rather misled by the trailer that made it look like more of a serious story.
I was not expecting such a comedy element for a vampire series, and I am not happy with all of the "comedy sounds." I really, really hate those.
Please, please let it get darker like a vampire story SHOULD be.
And the acting is fantastic. The entire cast is great, but Apo is the real standout.

They somehow forgot how to turn on a light switch to see who's in the room with them.
There are well-lit bedside lamps mere INCHES away, yet somehow they don't shine enough light to see each other's faces.
They can't see each other's faces in the "dark," but somehow they CAN see an Adam's apple move and suddenly they need to kiss it.
OMG I was ROLLING, lolololol.
