I think you're referring to a four part mini series called 'Infidelity, It’s a Disease' where what you're saying…
I haven't seen that one.
I was actually referring to a Chinese YouTube series called Secrets Happened on the Litchi Island (and the subsequent "extra" series of 13 short episodes that served as a kindof follow-up story about the same couple).
It's simple, but really lovely. Again, the director did give the actors some basic instructions, but she also let them have autonomy as far as some of the things I mentioned. And she just had them do some things over if she felt it needed tweaking.
I loved the interaction between TK and Victor in Ep 2.
It actually felt like I was watching two real people navigating their language barrier in a fun way. It felt natural, and it felt like the way real people get to know each other. That was really refreshing. And to me, it wasn't boring at all.
I recently watched a Chinese BL (yes, really) where the director gave the actors the basic scene and what she wanted to happen, but she let them find their own method of completing the goals in the scene. They figured out their own body language, their emotions, their responses to each other, their blocking in each room.....it was SO good. She only made a few modifications here and there. That was so, so, sooooo different from the acting in most Thai BLs. It felt WAY more natural and engaging. I wish more Thai studios would try that method of directing.
I can't stand Shane's mom. She is so manipulative.
And her statement to Shane: "Jin and Name are already grown. Cheese can stay with her father. I love YOU most anyway." - meaning the most out of all 4 of her children - is just wrong. No mother should ever say she loves one child more than her other children.
Just watched this deeply beautiful short film. It packed a lot into just 36 minutes. The acting, directing and cinematography were very well done.
My husband and I are not a gay couple, but this year we'll have been married 35 years. I think often about how young we were when we first met, and how old we are now. About the things we've been through, both good and bad, and how much work it is, sometimes, to keep moving forward. The anger, the joy, the ups and downs. But forging ahead through all of that has been worth it, and there isn't much I would go back and change.
The last few minutes of the film, I was in tears. The love and tenderness the two characters had for each other at the end just overwhelmed me. My husband and I are nearing the same age, and I see those days coming for us, too. Thanks to the directors for creating such a meaningful story.
I'm not really a fan but I really felt sorry for him in the last scene 🙈 He has made some bad decisions and…
I felt bad for him, too, when he was forced to do that. And the shock on his face when Tony stood up (which I was waiting for. I knew he was faking the whole wheelchair thing.) was so intense.
I think somehow.....not sure how......but somehow Winner didn't realize before what a horror show he was involved in. He's just now realizing the depth of Tony's depravity.
We know from a past episode that Willy has either super speed or the ability to manipulate time. Not sure which.
Willy said he was training with his team at the time Babe was hit by that car, and Babe confirmed that.
But it seems possible that, while he *was* indeed with his team, Willy's ability may have made it possible to ALSO temporarily be in the car that hit Babe and then race (or time jump) back to his team, who never realized he was gone.
Pure speculation, of course. Just a thought.
-----------------------
NEW IDEA - I wonder if Willy has the ability to temporarily clone himself?
That slap caught me off guard and hurt my heart for poor Pethai. The despair on Prince Ramil's face later, as Pethai was being whipped, made me really sad.
I think Khanin, too, was shocked to his core to see such violence. Such a contrast to his "Dad" (Thatdanai), who raised him with true love and care.
Apparently Itt and Mawin have been seeing each other for a while (in the car after the massage scene Itt said "Thanks for always dropping me off...."), which means that NC stuff was just a continuation of earlier relationship scenes that happened off camera. So they're currently a secret, but established couple.
Back when Typhoon and Than were still friends / muay thai training buddies, Typhoon liked Than but didn't feel that he could confess. And Than was COMPLETELY oblivious to Typhoon's feelings. So Phoon decided to walk away, and he basically dumped Than as a friend.
Than was so hurt (still not realizing what caused Typhoon to dump him) that he vowed never to fight against Typhoon.
But now Keen is in the picture, and he and Than have feelings for each other. Typhoon has noticed that, and he's angry that Than not only likes another guy, but also because Than never picked up on Phoon's feelings and returned them. So Phoon going to take that anger and frustration out on Than the next time they fight.
CLARIFICATION: Those ^^^^^^ are my own interpretations. I have not read the original story.
I'm so curious about the motives behind the masked man who said in Ep 2 that "he was an old friend of Zhinu's (aka Zang Hai's) father" but has never revealed his face nor his real name, as well as those of Zang Hai's 2nd Master, Gao Ming. They have always been cagey about who they really are, and why they are SO invested in Zang Hai's quest against the Marquis.
Although......it's also interesting that his first master, Xing Dou, told Zang Hai that the identity and motives of himself and the others who schooled and shaped Zang Hai for those 10+ years didn't matter. Then on the day Zang Hia left, Master Xing Dou willingly died in the fire he told his students to set.
So many questions, and so few answers. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

The acting was very natural, the setting was pretty, and the music was perfect.
It's a super short slice-of-life vignette that I think is worth watching, even if not a whole lot happens.
Among other problems, the acting is awful. I mean REALLY bad.
Dropping it.

Also, if you go down in the comments on either of those ^^^^^, I posted all of the links for every single episode of both series.

I'm enjoying this series so far.
I am **really** enjoying this series.
