The directing is very good but the editing in the first episodes is not the best. It gets much better. Both leads…
Thanks for this answer that is a little bit more pertinent to somebody who has just started the series. My perception is only based on episode 1 currently the previous answers I go felt really out of place. I'm hoping for some amnesia as well for Chi Cheng because yeah, he's really a hard sell from what I've seen in episode 1 🙄
For the plan though, that's just something I've seen in the summary... He hasn't yet made his decision so far buuuuuut you know, without having seen anything... Nice people can turn pretty nasty when they've been wronged repeatedly... I wouldn't necessarily put that in the "red flag" category just yet.
Hmm... Just started this one since everybody's raving about it... no opinion at present except that the directing is a bit... rough? Each transition from scene to scene is bit abrupt and it's missing a bit in the music department... But maybe that's just the beginning of the show, and it becomes more smooth after?
Suo Wei is really cute and very likable from the get go but my God Chi Cheng is a major red flag and a huge turnoff at present. Hopefully the show will do a good job of changing my opinion regarding this sad individual but right now I don't want him near poor Suo Wei who's a little bit too naive and pure for his own good.
Enjoyed the first two episodes... but this is a show that won't appeal to everyone since it's a very healing, slice of life, not a lot happening in each episode type of show. I just so happen to be in the mood for this type of drama right now though it's not usually my jam.
Loved the summer vibe, leisurely pace and of course my man Jae Yeong. More of him from now on please!
I utterly loathe the original series thus I really wasn't planning on watching that one... But I can't help it, within Me Mind, the only pair I care about is BossNoeul (please just don't make us wait another 3 years to see them together again in a drama) and I was missing them so I ended up giving it a try.
Way better than Boy Next World but probably because this Cirrus and this Phukan have a shorter story. Also ass** Cirrus though foulmouthed was giving away Phayu vibes and WHO doesn't like Phayu?
They brought back the main couple from the original series just for the NC scenes which on one side was sad, because I would have loved to see the aftermath of that kiss between chronically shy Phu and ass*** Cirrus, but on the other, though very short, that NC scene was lit.
So I rated the original series a 4... But this special... Hmm... An 8. I enjoyed it. Nothing extraordinary... But I got my BossNoeul dose... though I'll probably need to rewatch their part in Love in the Air at some point. I miss this pair.
Thiwthit didn't convince me as an actor. He was just as you wrote.
Oh my! I think the first time I answered, I really answered TO YOU. But then the second time I quoted the first post but the answer is still valid to your comment though.
Finally finished it... Took a little bit over a month for me and I had to literally force myself to finish it. It was a good show at first, but I think it seriously started to lose steam around episode 16/17 when both leads really start to work together... After that, it just felt like an overly long epilogue and I quickly lost interest though I wouldn't go as far as calling it boring... it was just not exciting anymore and nothing made me want to watch the following episodes since basically the main draw was the couple's conflicts and how their relation evolved and that only lasted for a 3rd of the drama. After that their relationship is basically smooth sailing so I had nothing to care about except for the political stuffs which I honestly don't give a fudge about ( be it this drama or any other.)
The show remained consistent through its run though albeit for the last 3 episodes which I'm really not a fan of. I don't understand why they had to throw these last dramatics only to get rid of one of the most lovable character of the show.
Anyway that's a 7.5 for me because I reaaaaaaaaaaaaally had to force-watch the last 20 episodes, which though not bad per say were just... not interesting?
The main couple has good chemistry so if that kind of show is your jam, you'll definitely have a good time... Me? I just feel it would have liked it more if it had been shorter. 20 episodes would have been perfect, 24 at most, but 36? Nah.
Still. I understand the hype better on this one than on Blossom so there's that.
Thiwthit didn't convince me as an actor. He was just as you wrote.
Yeah yeah to you. You wrote:
"I really wasn't convinced by Thiwthit. Don't know if it was the acting or the directing, but it was like nails on a chalkboard everytime he was on screen for me. It was just... too over-the-top cartoonish villain for my own taste."
I personally think it wasn't because the actor was bad, but because he was asked to act in this cartoonish way. Personally I found all of his scenes very funny, it was part of the charm of the show, but you're not the only one who didn't like his portrayal. By the same token First, aka Ren in the series, was just as ridiculous. He just had less screentime.
In the novel yes he died of heartbroken. He reset too but he did not remember anything but dreams about armin…
No idea... I haven't read the novel... I actually bought the whole thing in Thai ( that's 2 books + 1 extra called "7 years later") but I'm still learning the language so I'll probably start those once I've finished the other Thai novel I'm currently reading... Sooooooooo not before 6 months at the earliest since my level still sucks (Currently reading "The Sign" which already have quite a lot of differences in terms of charactarization).
This being said, you can still purchase the main series in English on the MEB app:
There's a 35% discount still available for 7 days. I personally didn't bother to buy it because there's a couple of other Thai dramas which books I bought the English translations... which weren't good so I ended up not reading them and purchasing their original Thai copies.
I'm not sure how this translation fares though. Might be good. You'll have to ask others if you're interested.
In the novel yes he died of heartbroken. He reset too but he did not remember anything but dreams about armin…
I don't know for the novel but both their deaths are different in the drama. Armin died a violent death so he was fully aware he died when he did, whereas Thada died in his sleep. He never realized he died and RESET hence when he woke up it just felt like a dream to him. He just didn't connect the dots... But I'm very curious as to if he ever realized the truth in the novel... I'll see when I read it :D
Thiwthit didn't convince me as an actor. He was just as you wrote.
Yeah but the thing is... You can consider him a bad actor if you think that he was like that not because he wanted to... But I personally doubt it. I think they were both asked to act like that. I may be wrong though.
I asked the same question because I love the track without lyrics which is always playing whenever there's some…
Hopefully somebody will give the name of the song at some point... Honestly I remember having heard that song before.... Maybe in a movie but I can't remember where for the life of me...
Ok these last 2 episodes confused me a bit, was Tada also from the "past life" too??? If yes why did he…
For me Thada died in his sleep from intoxication due to too much alcohol but never realized he died. Hence he also did a reset , he just interpreted his Reset as just a dream.
I loved it. Both lead really delivered and their story was very touching. Really surprised by Pond as I only know…
I posted about it earlier but personally I loved his cartoonish portrayal. All of his scenes were laugh out loud funny to me... Not only his scenes but also Ren's. I mean they were both ridiculous. Instead of being annoyed, I personally never saw them as truly menacing ( well except at the end of episode 9) which is why the drama never annoyed me in the slightest... But I guess it's just me :D
I asked the same question because I love the track without lyrics which is always playing whenever there's some epic romantic scene... I used Shazam and it said "Winter's Glow" by Atomflow&Rem but I haven't found this song anywhere so it must be a mistake...
I just LOVED Ren and Thiwthit especially the latter. They were both so cartoonish I could never take them seriously. EVERYTIME they were throwing a tantrum I was just rolling on the floor 🤣🤣🤣
I'm sure it was intentional.
Anyway because of that, although they were some dramatic moments, I was never truly annoyed by either of them. For me they were just there to bring our leads closer and to make me laugh.
This show wasn't flawless but am I going to give a 10? OF COURSE I AM, because I was never bored one second and this couple just.... Gah... I want a Thada in my life.
They knew what they were doing. They were selling a love story with a bit of suspens to keep us on the edge of our sits. It was sweeter than sweet but I never got fed up with the main pair because they were just both PERFECT in their roles. BEST CHEMISTRY EVERRRRRRRRR. ROMANCE AT ITS FINEST.
Their lines were sooooooooo cheesy but my God they really made them work without turning them cringe ☺☺☺
Sad it's finished really... It's gonna be difficult to move on from that one...
PS: Does anybody know what is the name of that no-lyrics song they keep throwing whenever there's some epic romantic scene? We hear it for instance in one of the last scene of episode 10 at 59 mn. I LOVE this track, I think I probably heard it somewhere else but since it's without any lyrics I don't know how to find it...
Mental health is the most important thing, if it's gone down the drain to the point of ruining her physical health, she's right to step back and do the things she thinks will benefit her well-being...
She already has had a very productive career, she can leave the industry with her head held high if unfortunately it comes to this. I wish her good luck in her fight against her company... I personally wouldn't even try, these type of things take years and tend to take a toll on people and even if it plays in her favor in the end... unless her popularity remains high ( right now it's the case but who knows in 2/3 years with the number of upcoming actors in China) it will be very complicated to get back her place in the industry especially with China's obsession with actresses looking "youthful". Also Big country, LOTS of upcoming actresses.
Still wish her the best of luck... Also, living away from cameras, way better in my opinion. I personally think acting is certainly one of the most "fun" job to do on this planet... but all the media circus that comes with it when you're an A-list actor is a complete turnoff.
