There's the suggestion of romantic feelings, but at most, it's a sub-plot. We get to see the two main characters…
I am not sure why some actors and actresses do that.
Possibly because of religious beliefs......possibly because they have a real-life partner who doesn't want them to kiss anyone else, so they write that clause into their contract.....possibly because the actor or actress is **really** uncomfortable with any physical intimacy on set, even if it's just fictional.
There's the suggestion of romantic feelings, but at most, it's a sub-plot. We get to see the two main characters express feelings, but so far that's about it.
And I've read that Liu Hao Cun, the lead actress in this series, seems to have a no-kiss clause in her contract for any project she works on, so at most we will only see her hold hands, hug and NEAR-kiss, but not actually kiss.
As far as the other characters.....not sure what we might see from them, if anything.
Just watched Ep 16 and the scene where Chubby goes running to Hongsha, hands her his phone and then says he has to wash his hands because they have pee on them.......
Her reaction to realizing the phone was covered in pee, too, was SO freaking funny, and actually very natural. I absolutely LOVE the acting in this series.
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.

So I have learned to skip over just about every single scene with those kinds of characters in them. Otherwise I feel my blood pressure rising, lol.
