Oh wow Pavel is a New Zealander?! Never knew that. I thought everyone was Thai. I guess people grow up in different…
He was born in Thailand and spent a few years there. But then he moved with his mom to NZ and lived there for 11 years. He went back to Thailand in his early 20s to attend university.
I don't think I have ever watched a BL lovemaking scene that was so stunningly intimate and magical. The tenderness and complete trust were beautiful. I am speechless.
Just now watching Ep 7, and once again I find myself adoring Chakri. He's so cheeky and adorable. And he TOTALLY ships Khanin and Charan, too.
And that scene where he's trying to suss out where Charan is being confined, and he clenches his fingers and exclaims "HAHHHHHH!" in the cutest, but most frustrated way was great. LOL
It's not a rule, but it depends on the pronunciation of the people themselves and how easy they pronounce it and…
I only tend to notice it if the same character said it the other way in previous interactions. Saying "Jepp" most of the time, but then slipping and saying "Jeff" instead.
Every once in a while, Pavel (who grew up in New Zealand and is fully fluent in English) forgets he's supposed to be speaking Thai, and uses the English equivalent of something.
Mostly what I've noticed is.....in Thai, the letter F is pronounced as if it were a P instead. So the name Jeff in English would be Jepp, in Thai.
In Ep 7 Pavel did that very thing, lol. He said "Jeff" instead of "Jepp." It's weird that the editors don't catch that.
Willy looks like the Korean actor Cha Woo Min from the Kdrama Study Group. I just keep seeing the similarities…
I've noticed the resemblance too, in some scenes. They could easily play brothers who grew up in different countries. Like......after their parents' divorce, one grew up with Dad in one country, and one grew up with Mom in the other.
Study Group was SOOOOOOOO freaking good. So, so, so good. And the OST was amazing, too. Loved that series.
I think Mu Dai is one of the three legendary "Divine Birds" the tour guide was talking about in Ep 13. I think the "bird" is the other personality she has been sensing, and I think the bird is what takes over her body and saves her, when she's in danger.
Luo Ren is possibly another one. Not sure who the third one would be. Thirteen, maybe? Hongsha?
I never thought I'd be so sad for a cheaply-costumed she-bigfoot. But I honestly am. That story arc was really well done, and I was rooting for the "savage" daughter so hard. I'm pretty heartbroken at how it all turned out in the end.
I like this series much more than I thought I would when I first started watching it.
Am I the only one who doesn't mind, and in fact is a little amused about, the cheap costumes and special effects?
I feel like I'm watching a story from a comic book, and I love how cheesy and fun it is.
And even with the shortcuts on the SFX budget, I REALLY like the acting. The actors / their characters feel a lot more natural and comfortable with each other than most other Chinese series I've seen.

And that's all I'm gonna say. LOL!

But now I wonder what they'll do next? LOL

I'm a little floored, TBH.
I love the characters. And as completely inept as Chubby is, I adore him.
