The last episode was replete with stupid, this episode was filled with pointless. Ohm is even less of a character…
I totally agree, the character development for Taem was leading that whole story down a different path. I'm fine if that's where they wanted it to go, but they needed to telegraph that a little bit better because it was so jarring that he was suddenly a predator.
Now I feel like I can't trust any of the development of the characters... And I feel like they're going to do something random with Drake since he's just been sitting on the sidelines, like have him secretly be into S&M and end up with Ter at the end.
And the marriage proposal wasn't abrupt or probably reshot. I live in Thailand and they announcement about marriage bills was made way back in October, I believe 4 different drafts were submitted and everyone was confident one would pass. The cannabis laws are what everyone is shocked about here...
This is... not good. The main couple are acting in two different modes and it's jarring. Gem is acting more subdued and naturalistic, and Fourth is doing slapstick melodrama. The thing is, everyone else is doing slapstick and so Gemini looks either bored or like he was dropped in from another series. I actually prefer it because Fourth's melodrama acting is not done well, he's acting like a 4th grader in their first school play.
I watched the Japanese version ages ago, it was fine, and they were much more modulated in their acting because I know it's about a contrast of personalities, but they still seemed to inhabit the same space, they just reacted differently.
Gemini is like a person from a Renaissance painting dropped into an episode of The Simpsons. It doesn't fit.
This was the first season where I began to think critically about the premise and character attributes in the show, mostly because of the annoying resets that happen in the first episode of each subsequent season. But then at the end, Ayato said the exact thing I had been screaming at the TV all season, so if they answer that, I'll happily keep watching... If they keep going with the same (amusing, but ultimately inconsequential) stories, I'll give up after one episode.
If episode 8 is simply an episode where Wut and Sol realize the truth... it's pointless...I'll be honest... Sol…
I'm with you on Sol and the mother. I somewhat understood the mom-thing because of Joe's orphan background that suddenly having a mother would be a chance to experience that... but they didn't really develop that idea and instead made the Mom an exposition machine ("Tharn was a bad boyfriend...")
As for Sol, he's as bad as Ming. Maybe it's not as evident that he's a POS but a POS dipped in chocolate is still a POS.
It all boils down to the fact that Joe has no agency. Anytime he is given some agency, it's because Ming or someone else has allowed it. As I thought about it, despite all the awful people in this show, Joe allows it to happen so...
It took for 4 days of stop-start to finish the first episode. I guess this one is just not for me because none of the people seem that likable and I'm not sure I care if any of them become happy.
I just laughed because this was filmed at my work. That montage of what's-his-face getting slapped was just a rundown of the different tables I eat lunch at. Haha
Just curious, has PP Krit quit acting? I don't see him in any dramas after ITSAY and IPYTM. What is going on with…
He is a gigantic popstar in Thailand. He's doing all kinds of things but acting is like a side-gig for him. Every time I go out, his music is blaring out of bars and restaurants in Bangkok. It's probably because of how controversial he is that he's so ubiquitous here without having done any recent series.
The filter fest started......Ok did they really left the kid outside??🥴 Was that kid supposed to be someone…
Yeah like nothing happened. I'm confused as to what the point of this episode was. We didn't need a 3 minute motorcycle montage, it just proves you have a budget but no story.
I liked this episode a lot. But I kind of wish that one time in a BL, when one of the protagonist recieves a job…
In the Japanese version, he actually doesn't succeed in his first attempt at making progress with his job (the contest) and that made sense since the focus in that series is more about the lead character's feelings of inadequacy and insecurity.
In this series, they jumped straight toward adapting the Japanese film's plot line which makes more sense since the focus of this series is more about the freedom and confidence a relationship gives you.
In general, I agree with you because it's irritating how they always succeed or say yes, and I also agree that it makes sense in this series for the job to be in these circumstances to propel the story forward.

It's not very good tho.
