Actually no, I watched it with subtitles and have been a casual watcher of Thai BL television, movies and series…
Lemme get this right... Basically you're hating on the hater in order to feel better about liking the show? More power to you. 👍 Feel free to give a last word if you need to.
Wow, You are for sure American are you?!You didn't watch it mostly and probably without subtitles, but you gave…
Actually no, I watched it with subtitles and have been a casual watcher of Thai BL television, movies and series for the last 5 years. Although I'll admit that I try to stick to drama than comedy if only because most of the eastern comedies remind me of the more painful days of slapstick and laugh tracks of televisions more distant past.
But it's clear to this older man (Gen-X to Baby Boomer depending on which article on generations you subscribe to) that you haven't gone back in time to the point where I was your age and remember this method of television performance was done during the 1950s - 1970s with sound zingers, laugh track and canned stereotypical cliches in order to make a performance into a comedy.
As for Earth Thanakrit Talasopon's as well as Win Songsin Jaipan's filmographies -- it's light on the acting, both here on MyDrama as well as Google and Wiki searches. I admit that I didn't look into Baidu or other Eastern Search Engines to confirm (or deny), what I found was enough to tell me they're both rookies to the film and television industry. If there's more, I invite you to update MyDrama so that people -- like me -- can sit corrected with that information.
As for the rest of this.. If you enjoy it, by all means enjoy it. Me and others that I might appeal to with my searing negative criticism, are going to simply nod and move on because it was not only NOT worthwhile to watch, it was painfully bad. But remember, if you're going to want to ad hominem, by all mean do so. Be prepared for people to see you for what you are.
Thanks for the information on what the character names meant. By the time I saw this review, I had already been up to Episode 22. Looking back at what I watched coupled with your info, it was a treat to get a chuckle out of the irony of their names.
I found it difficult to watch both for the acting which you hit the nail on the head and the fact that the translations on the episodes I watched were not only hard coded, but looked like it was done through dictation. Translations were both awkward and extremely literal, causing me to correct how it should have been said in English because of it.
I believe there might have been another message going on with this that revolves around the whole no sex before commitment. The director was clearly trying to stay to the conservative side between Ae and Pete to not annoy sponsors and/or censors. And there were clearly sponsors in this movie, even if the product placement was more tasteful than some series I've watched (like 'Cause You're My Boy and Kiss Me Again).
Truth be told, Shakespearean attitudes towards the vile and the villainous has seeped into the Eastern world. I couldn't see Tin (Mean Phiravich Attachitsataporn) getting the boy in the end. It would be going against Shakespearean traditions that Tin still has issues to resolve for the pains caused with his brother and family. Especially when you consider that Can (Plan Rathavit Kijworaluk) is pure and -- even if more than a little -- naive.
