What th f@#$ was that? At least when I watched Physical Therapy I wasn't afraid it was the result of a stroke,…
Jing is a film student and Guy came to speak with him while he was filming a scene. They involved him in the scene for weird comedic effect. The chewing of betel nut as a stimulant is a tradition throughout Thailand's (and many Asian countries') history and you'll often see characters with black teeth in historical dramas to highlight this. The practice stains the teeth. I agree with your opinion that the drama is too weird and immature. The writing is really awful.
Well, it's not as bad as Physical Therapy, but it has the same lost vibe. Kimmon and Copter's talents are definitely going to waste here. The slapstick scenes are intentional, but they aren't really appropriate. Either do a total slapstick comedy, or leave it out. Awkwardly shoving slapstick here and there just makes it weird. I watched the first two eps at 2x speed and that wasn't fast enough to not get bored by the terrible script.
I was hoping that Tofu's human-ness came from Tathan's soul, so that when he turned back into a bear, he wouldn't retain the memories of when he was living as a human. He would just love Nut as his teddy bear without knowing that they had been in love, because it seems really cruel to make him watch over Nut and Tathan being together. And Tathan's soul would have the memories, though he wouldn't consciously remember them.
I wish all the repetitive scenes throughout the drama had been cut so that we could have more bonding time between Nut and Tathan after Tathan recovered because it was difficult to be emotionally invested in them after so much development between Nut and Tofu. I don't feel any particular joy in them getting married because I'm still relating to how Tofu would feel at this point.
In the end, I'm fine with Nut and Tathan getting together, but it could have been done in a much more meaningful way. I just feel very unfulfilled with the way it was portrayed. It's also sad that Na, Saen, Jan and Sibmuen had such tragic lives with no real redemption. Na had a stressful, unhappy life and now will lose herself to Alzheimer's and die. Saen never felt remorse over killing his brother and didn't really grow as a person. Jan is in need of therapy and legal intervention, but she'll probably just go on living a miserable life. It's pretty depressing. Thank goodness for Song and Gen, otherwise this would have been a total downer. Prib's happy ending was so gratuitous, I don't count it. I do appreciate the message of equality, though the script became repetitive and preachy at times.
I wasn't expecting much from Star Hunter Entertainment, but this series is actually better than I thought it would be. Boss is giving off young Oguri Shun/Joo Won vibes and I would watch until the end for that alone, but the other characters are interesting and the story is entertaining enough to make me look forward to each new episode.
So... Tofu never went back to look for Ms Slipper once the police let him go? I mean, he thinks of her as a sentient being and he last saw her screaming for help in the jaws of a dog, but he hasn't thought about her at all. Shouldn't he be worried and trying to find her as soon as possible? I guess it's just as well that the items downstairs are going to sleep, then it doesn't really matter that he left her to die.
I guess it's a silly point to get hung up on when Nut is turning into his father, making everyone walk on eggshells around him. I hope he realizes that his mother was abused and intimidated by his father in a male dominated society and though she failed him, she was doing the best she could with what she had. Women raised with the mindset to be subservient to their husbands have a hard time breaking out of the role they've been forced into. I hope the character development for both of them goes well and they can break the cycle.
Well, 9 & 10 were downhill for me and the FF button got a lot of workout. I simply don't find Sky/Jao compelling…
Yeah, the scene at the mall was really out of character for Toh. I mean, they're in the process of entering the theater when he suddenly wants to look at something else and lays on the floor??? That happy puppy would have been following Nuea into the nice dark room, not turning into a two year old in public. It was really odd. The writing has been a bit off for the entire series, but that scene was too far.
For the first four or five episodes I was cringing and creeped out. But I'm glad I stuck it out because this has…
I appreciate the fact that Nuea was willing to be versatile. I think given Toh's personality, it's believable that he would give up topping at first because he's just at a loss as to how to go about it due to his inexperience. But the story leaves room for the possibility of them both being versatile as their relationship develops.
For the first four or five episodes I was cringing and creeped out. But I'm glad I stuck it out because this has turned into a charming, entertaining drama to the credit of the actors. The writing is a bit disjointed and weird. There are A LOT of repetitious scenes which reduces the impact of the cute performances a little with each one. The editing is choppy, the momentum keeps stalling and I have to FF through super slow scenes (don't put us to sleep, director), but the actors are doing a great job infusing their characters with charisma. I'm hoping the writing doesn't hinder them too much in the last four episodes and they can bring this series to a satisfactory conclusion.
I just watched four episodes and was falling asleep with the lack of chemistry and the dragging story. I came to see if anyone in the comments would say it was worth continuing on and found the comments full of spoilers not hidden under spoiler tags. Beware to anyone coming to the comments who hasn't watched all the episodes.
I've read the manga and watched all versions of this drama over the years, and I have to say that they did an exceptional job on F4 Thailand. They stayed true to the story while adding some unique elements. The casting was perfect and the production quality was top notch.
The writing and directing were disastrous. The last episode was so random and unromantic and weird. I watched this series at 1.5x speed because I couldn't get through it otherwise.
I can't believe I'm still watching this mess. I don't know why I want to know what happens to these characters when nothing makes sense. Can anyone tell me what Dr Yang's transgression was? They flashed that article on screen, but I don't know what it said.
In my opinion, eps 1-8 were really good, but eps 9 and 10 were ....lukewarm at best. I'm not a fan of the whole…
I agree. Besides the extreme knee jerk reaction Win had to Korn getting the stock, the writing for eps 1-8 were so good. Then when Korn tells the mother that he took advantage of Lin during the trip out of good feelings... what now? It wasn't Lin that he was with, why would he tell her mother such a thing? And Lin letting the engagement go on to make Win admit his feelings for Korn is weird too. She misled her mother and now everyone they know has been told about the engagement. How awkward is it to invite people to the party knowing that later you'll have to tell them that your fiancee is getting together with your brother? That all could have been handled in a private conversation. But you're so right about Korn, who wasn't in on the plan and agreed to get together with Lin for no good reason at all. That boggles the mind. The last bit of bad writing was the mother convincing the father to give Korn 25% of the stock in order to turn Win against him. From a business perspective, I can't see them doing that and it felt inconsistent with the characters.
I appreciate what they were trying to do, but this came off like a school project with nice locations. I don't know what was more stiff and awkward, the script or the acting. The dialogue was unsophisticated and uninspired. I imagined middle schoolers writing it. The actors often repeated their lines two or three times, maybe to fill the uncomfortable space the short abrupt dialogue left, or perhaps to cover their nerves, but it really took me out of the story. The only actor who delivered his lines naturally was Will Devaughn (Mr Wang) and he had precious few scenes. The characters and the premise were good, the execution made me cringe, though.
The characters themselves had potential, but the script was lacking. It all felt so unnatural and contrived that I couldn't get into the story. Also, the weird kissing didn't help.
The drama was kind of lukewarm for the first three episodes, got good from 4-9, but 10 was a disappointment. Judging…
I can understand why Torn is hurt and frustrated, but he told Fah to join the club and knew what that entailed. If he had decided to be supportive, why completely change his attitude when Fah is late to the party? If he can't truly be happy for Fah's success and understanding about his schedule, then he seems too immature to really love another person. So disappointing because up until this point, he was a pretty consistent character.
I can't get behind the Dome/Vee pairing. Vee was totally out of line for being so flirtatious with his sister's boyfriend in the first place. And even though Dome and Pan are not together anymore, I don't think it's okay for Vee to date Dome. It's always going to be a thorn in Pan's side, even if she understands them and is able to support their relationship in the future. Why would Vee inflict that pain on his sister? No matter how guilty he feels, he's still being selfish and immature.
The drama was kind of lukewarm for the first three episodes, got good from 4-9, but 10 was a disappointment. Judging from the preview for ep 11, I think I'm going to be frustrated with it. I'm just hoping they'll manage to wrap it up well in the end.
