Underwhelming. Inthought the SE would wrap
things up better but it left me feeling like I could care less. The whole plot was filled with holes. Now I’m done and this can stop haunting me in my unfinished series list.

The toxic fans will always be a problem. There needs to be more mentally healthy fans to offset the toxicity. I’m thinking also of the toxicity surrounding the reveal of Both and Newyear’s breakup. The hate that’s being spewed is really sickening. I honestly don’t understand how people can think they own everything about a celebrity they supported and expect that the celebrity owes them! As if they aren’t people. It’s a mental disorder for sure. I go home ThanePo at least opens the door to conversations about this problem, regardless of the main purpose of its production (agreeably, exploitation for profit).

Likely so. I wouldn’t be surprised if LYKN goes international as a result of this series. William definitely has the talent. He gambit back during Project Alpha. But so does Jeff Satur and he’s not as widely recognized as he should be. Especially after going solo.

True. But wouldn’t it be interesting if this changes things? Or begin so to sway the public in facvor of the message in the script? It’s interesting that they’d make this series.

10 min episodes is crazy. Just make it a movie.

So true. There are very few GMMTV series that I truly can say are well done and memorable enough to rewatch (I mostly rewatch K and J dramas). I am loving ThamePo though. It’s like this anomaly of a series for GMMTV. Maybe because they’re also promoting their idol group LYKN. Either way, unless they sabotage this series in the last episode or two with something crazy unnecessary and unexpected, I’ll be adding it to my rewatch list.

It is interesting that such a powerhouse produces such low quality works so regularly.

I found none of them worth the watch. Maybe I’ve seen too many better-quality nc scenes that these just fell flat. Itf it wasn’t for the visual and acting of Petch, I don’t think most viewers would have watched to the end. I couldn’t even watch the pillow scene because it was just this odd scene thrown in like a half-a$$ attempt to save the series with Petch as bait.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The historical context and its very real impacts on S.Koreans today being explored had this history-lover hooked. Plus there’s Nam Joo Hyuk, who I love. I was hooked on the story and action. The pacing made the 2 hours fly by. I hadn’t predicted the ending right up until it was revealed.

True. They could have at least bought some matting spray, though. That cost is low and takes seconds to spray. Or a matting powder. Or different colored foil. Ah well.

I wouldn’t even say soft porn tbh. More like they debated between soft porn and comedic porn and the second option won after a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

It’s over. Finally. NGL I 10 sec skipped 90% of it. The child-like resort owner throwing a fit, the horny guy getting it on with a cucumber (so gross tbh), the scene with the pottery purchaser. Yes, even that awkward af teenage solo pillow scene because what the actual f***. Petch is handsome af, but they didn’t need to do that. They also didn’t need the sex addict and his sex toy at all. I’m not even sure why the doctors arc was there tbh. And the crazy greedy and evil parents of Sangmin, like, why? It really is like the director and screenwriter got together to plan the sabotage of this 🇹🇭🇰🇷 collaboration and bet on who could do it the worst. Note to self. Do not watch anything directed or written by these two. Life is too short.

The only time Sangmin’s expression was believable was when they’re kissing. For a brief second, bro looked loving and hungry at the same time and I was like, “where tf was THIS Sangmin all this time?” Then he was gone again.

I will watch Petch again because bro carried this series all by himself. I’m curious if Choi Sangmin would be better with a different script that is a wholly Korean production. I know he lived in Thailand, but the language level he portrayed was too stilted and it became tiresome after a while. I wonder if that’s how he communicates irl or if the scriptwriter botched even that simple part.

I really want to know why they chose to produce this script and what that conversation was like. Perhaps it’s nepotism and that’s why it was produced. It’s the only explanation that makes sense.

You’re not alone. I think I watched maybe 10 minutes total.

OMG YES! As someone with many tattoos, the fake tattoos in THK that never faded and were perfectly lined and shiny after YEARS got me. Like, they had extras with real tattoos. Why didn’t they try to replicate?

I finally watched the whole thing. well, aside from what I skipped through… Dunk as Style was hilarious. I love Sassy yet fearless Style. He has definitely improved, though I really do like Hidden Agenda.

I made the mistake of reading some comments below before finishing and someone wrote about when Dunk initiates kisses and I couldn’t unsee it after that. At times it felt like Joong was trying to guide him in the moment. When Joong initiated, they had a different vibe. First and Khao on the other hand- it felt like they were reminding themselves NOT to use tongue 😂Though viewers wouldn’t mind. 😉

The tattoos though. As someone with many tattoos, the fake tattoos that never faded with time and were perfectly lined and shiny after YEARS got me. Like, they had extras with real tattoos. Why didn’t they try to replicate? At least a little? Lazy makeup styling imo. Go over them with some dark green and some matting spray or something. Reminds me of My Dear Gangster Oppa mess and those horrendously fake and laughable orange scars. I quit that series after seeing them because I couldn’t. I persisted with this one because I love Joong and Dunk’s rendition of Style. Annoying but endearing for some inexplicable reason.

I’m watching ThamePo right now and it’s hard to believe that both series are from the same company tbh. The differences!

Overall, it was enjoyable and I’m glad I waited to watch it all so I could move through the series at my pace.

I haven’t watched since episode 2. Now it looks like I shouldn’t. ☹️

less than 12 hours left of waiting in impatient anticipation

Since there isn’t much here about it, I didn’t know if it was a movie or series. So it’s good to know it’s a movie. Thanks

Like, WHAT?! ANC Alonso, Kaori’s excuse felt a little too mare and flat to me. When he kept apologizing, I was upset because she’s at fault too. Like, a lot. She knew she was hurting him and didn’t say anything. She knew BEFORE the relationship even started! But of course he’s apologetic, because he’s a genuinely good and caring person. Sei…poor guy putting on a brave face, even forgiving or absolving his abuser. Like NO! No excuse at all for this display of dominance and power. Sei needs to leave him and report him tbh. Hagiwara is so much better for Sei- they’re so much better for each other. I need 1 hour for the final at least. 30 mins is too fast! Another week of waiting. ☹️

Hurry up Friday!!! Even though I’m expecting a breakup by the end of the episode followed by a whole episode of sadness and longing and frustration (on my part) before a reunion in 12 (you know, the usual GMMTV format). Either way, I’ve been rewatching the series each week as I wait for each new episode. Part of me wishes they would drop them all like Netflix does 😂 I’m so unapologetically impatient.

Just a few more hours. Unfortunately, I will be at work and will have to wait until my lunch break to see what happens next. ☹️ I wish the episodes released at 5am like some others. Oh well.
