Not gonna lie I'm curious if they will give us a morning after scene ... Don't think so though ...

You have to set your time zone right. Then it's working.

Really? Even in Tonhon Chonlatee?

Same. First lacks charisma in that Akk role. But since the character is starting to get more interesting, he looks better too.
He was a snack in Not Me when he played Yok.

He is most likely naturally so. I have a cousin who looks the same. The bone structure and everything.
Are those his parents?

If that's the case, look at the father.

He is a bit too skinny, but that's his genetics I guess. He looks like the kind of guy who can eat whatever he wants but isn't gaining weight.

"That mafia theme was only used, so they can dress them in suits and hand them guns" Haha! True!

I was referring to this line: "The plot is basically only a backdrop for the romance." So I think that's not the case in The Eclipse. I wouldn't care if it was. I'm more invested in the romance than in the plot anyways, haha.

I think the plot is pretty important. KinnPorsche was much worse in this aspect. I felt the whole mafia theme was just done to make it more edgy. The characters in The Eclipse are very much shaped by their past and their experiences, their goals and motivations. All of this has to do with the plot. Ayan is the person he is because of what happend to his uncle. We see it in the flashback he wasn't that bold and rebellious earlier. Akk is a rather twisted guy for reasons. The KinnPorsche characters didn't behave like mafia guys. Their reactions to the situations and their environment made no sense. Just saying. Don't want to sh*t on KinnPorsche. Not Me and Trapped did also a much better job. I'm always glad if they try out something new and don't follow the typical boy-meets-boy formula.

I think it is indeed serious. The problem is more the atmosphere they create. It doesn't come across as dangerous. You have to think about it, and get invested in the story to really understand the seriousness. Someone pointed out a while ago that the first trailer was better. The series seemed darker.

But what are they doing wrong? I can't put my finger on it. The plot isn't that bad. Like the car incident. It seems not that big of a deal. But if you think about it... Something bad could have indeed happened. Then he wanted to burn that doll. If this goes wrong the fire can spread. Could have as well burned down the whole school. Just saying. But while watching the series you don't really get the seriousness.

No one comments on this?
I feel the same. That's why that emotional scene in ep 6 didn't do much for me. They fail to create a real suspensful, intense atmosphere. This is supposed to be mystery/thriller/psychological, but it's just too tame. Whatever mystery is surounding that school, I don't feel the danger and the drama. Still the actors are 1000% commited.

Yes

You can indeed see it. I think that scene where they were in bed and Nanon kissed him was the most obvious.
I was head over heels for those two boys, but along the way I felt out of love a bit.
Another lovey dovey couple? Hmmm .... you're right. I can't think of any who did better.

I have to disagree. Ohm was always surprised by those improvised kisses. And when he is surprised he has that strange look on his face, you would almost think he is mad. It threw me off. The director P'Aof even admitted they would just let them do their thing. That's unprofessional. I wouldn't give the green light for such a scene.

Second trailer, and Ayan asks Akk if he can kiss him. Then their lips almost touch and they cut it.

It looks like they will kiss again. There is a scene in the trailer. They wear the same clothes in the next episode. That's all what I care for, haha.

I didn't really see what's so great about First at the beginning. He has a very unique face, and that's always popular. But now I start to get it. He is very beautiful.

Oh that movie ... I feel old now ...

i'm not bothered by those issues. I enjoy the good acting, the charismatic actors, and some of the scenes are very well done. But ALL of GMMTV series have the same issues. I wasn't that fond of The Gifted either, maybe because I'm not the target audience. I only watch highschool series because of the BL. I'm really too old for it. In The Gifted I too felt there was no real suspense. Not Me tried to be a more mature and serious series. I think they did overall a good job, but again, it came across as silly sometimes. Those bikes? Really? I have seen teenagers driving with better gear to their very first job. But I guess it has to do with the budget. You can't compare those series with a high quality Korean drama. On the other hand I lately get the impression those GMMTV actors are pretty rich. So there must be some money there to spend? They stepped up their game with the plot and the locations. I feel the overall writing (HOW the story is told) and the editing is still their biggest weakness where they should improve.

I'm just glad that there is some kind of story. It gives the series more depths, and makes the interaction and relationship more interesting. I got a bit tired over the years of those simple boy-meets-boy series.
