I have watched a number of Shortime series on YT. They have a very limited number of actors, and some of their dramas have been decent.
But I have noticed something. The actor that's playing Hae-jun is really good when he's coupled with any of the actors who are **NOT** Jung Myeong Cheol (the one who is playing Jae-hun).
But when he's coupled with Jung Myeong Cheol, the chemistry is bizarre and off-putting, just like in "Tide of Love."
And almost all of the Shortime series have AWFUL blocking, camera placement, sound quality and editing. Those are MAJOR flaws of the channel and the series they produce.
When Wiwid (aka Wid) showed up as the new "team leader," it was annoying that Peach didn't report Wiwid's past lechery and unprofessionalism to anyone, including Thee. There were other witnesses (not just Peach) who saw how he treated that young girl on a previous photo shoot. Peach would have had enough proof to get rid of him.
Instead, Peach was acting like he was the only one who had to "handle" anything related with Wid. But in reality, he should have been thinking of any potential victims of Wid's sick fascination with underage, under-dressed girls. Even if he had to get Thee involved, Peach should have done that immediately, with no hesitation.
Ep 9 - I was SO fed up with Shirasaki. He's not even LISTENING to Asami. He's just focused on his own acting, "catching up" to Asami and proving he's worthy to "be by Asami's side as an actor."
How much more clueless can he be about what his partner is going through? I just wanted to slap him. What a selfish a-hole.
I'm in the middle of Ep 6, and I STILL have no idea what's going on.
Normally that would be a big turn off and I'd drop the show. But this series seriously has me intrigued. So I'm hanging in there.
One thing I will say......I'm not sure about Win. He seems alternately sweet and then kinda twisted. If he really "loves" Alan, why doesn't he tell Alan more? He is obviously hiding stuff.
Ep 4 - This whole episode had me in HYSTERICS, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
- Jerky, misplaced and out of focus, then suddenly focused camera shots.
- @4:54, someone off screen actually moved a plant out of the way to get a better shot. I BURST into laughter when I saw that.
- Right after the plant weirdness, Jae Hun's character was manhandling Hae Jun, and it sounded like they hired some big hairy truck driver to stand off camera and make all of the grunting sounds.
The actor playing Fan Xiao is not Thai. His name is Yun Qi and he is Chinese.
In the series he's playing a Thai man who does business with and hangs out with Chinese people.
That's why his character is always saying things along the lines of "My Chinese is not good." and "I'm sorry about my language skills." And then every once in a while, a voice is dubbed in that "supposedly" is him speaking or thinking in Thai.

"The version published on YouTube and iQIYI is the complete, uncut version"
I am really looking forward to more of this series.

This series is SO bad, LOLOLOLOL.
Not sure why they're promoting it as if it's new.
That's why his character is always saying things along the lines of "My Chinese is not good." and "I'm sorry about my language skills." And then every once in a while, a voice is dubbed in that "supposedly" is him speaking or thinking in Thai.
NGL, I was kinda hoping this would surprise us all and turn into an actual vampire BL.
The audio track is messed up. The sounds of them making out continued into the "asleep in each other's arms" scene. It was very weird.
