Lightning carrying the bouquet 😭

I might have gone overboard, but there are too many for me. As I was writing my list, I kept thinking of more scenes lol.

Get ready for the roller coaster of the next couple episodes 😭

I can't bring myself to do a full straight through rewatch right now, but I keep playing scenes or individual episodes over again, and it's so interesting finding some of the small details I missed the first time. While the overall editing leaves much to be desired, they did scatter a lot of fine details throughout that I think lends itself to its rewatchability. It's definitely a drama for those of us who get it can really look back on and find a lot beautiful symbolism.

When JZ was putting the helmet on JM when he's about to take her to school was SO sweet. The eye contact, the lighting, the music, it all just came together perfectly.

I said it before, but while people can think whoever could have done better in so or so scene, who knows what the final product and chemistry would have been like. I'm just happy we got the final product we got and both were able to give us JM and JZ.

I really like this writer/caster. She had a vision and found people to execute. Kudos to her and the way she speaks of YSX and HY is so sweet.

That would be SO helpful 😭

I think one of my favorite types of videos right now that appear on my TT are people who are going to visit the locations they filmed at in Thailand and tagging SAL. I think it's so cool 1) they filmed in actual locations people can actually visit any day and 2) the show had such an impact that when they visit, they connect the story to the location and people can relate to the video.

Yes, yes, and I would guess probably. Some of the editing throughout the show leaves a lot to be desired tbh.

Some slow mo scenes to IASWIMY as they are all laughing and dancing could have hit so hard 😭

Now I'm wondering what OST or BGM they would have played for the wedding scenes. Do you think it would have still been "It All Started When I Met You"?

So TFF is like the opposite of SAL where it seemed like the director for SAL ideally would have added more episodes but instead scenes got cut. 😂

Yeah, sort of looking back, I think the actual focus on JM/JZ throughout the series without a lot of unnecessary side character story lines is one of my favorite things about the show in general. I get easily bored by stories I'm not interested in, so I tend to skip around a lot in those sort of shows or just lose interest overall. It makes for a quicker watch when I do stick it out, but it's definitely not satisfying

Mike was one of the biggest cheerleaders throughout the show lol. I didn't realize it, but in the closing ceremony photos they took, his hair is black. He mentioned in one of the livestreams production wanted him as a brunette even though he wanted to keep the black hair. After he was done filming his scenes, he dyed his hair back, so he was technically off the clock/already done with filming when he came back to see the last scenes finish filming.

Indeed! The cringe is part of the fun with this show!

On my rewatch, I didn't realize how WILD the fight scenes looked. JZ was almost flying around at some points.

Yeah, I agree with the sentiment that while YSX isn't the best of the best out there (and I don't think she's ever claimed to be), she's not the worst of the worst and she is improving. I definitely noticed areas she can still improve upon in SAL, but I also saw some moments with real potential too.

The mentality some viewers seem to have that they MUST watch her dramas even though they hate her is sort of fascinating to me, and this really applies to all actors in general. I just think it's got to be a miserable viewing experience where you go into a show predetermined to hate someone just to then be able to "justify" your hate for them. Life would be so much happier for these people if they just focused on shows and actors/actresses they enjoyed.

Yeah, there's a Thai Sweet variety show too. It's very cute and the cast is hilarious! The stairwell scene re-enactments in EP3 are a must watch imo.

Just as a heads up though, HY had to leave about halfway through the show for personal reasons, but they brought in other cast members and Zhang Bichen (end scene OST singer) so it was still fun to watch.

And yes, I did see the clips of DYX and YSX at Tencent. That was really sweet too and is what is giving me hope that even if we don't see it in public, HY and YSX can remain friends.

Wait, did you watch that last live stream when they mentioned the SAL concert? I laughed so hard when HY immediately said the SAL concert would just be one song (Para Para Sakura) so they would all jump around one by one and then as a group and then YSX said they would then go two by two to fill in the time. 🤣🤣

I'm hoping Mike will pull through on that SAL concert lol or the cast will do a mini reunion in Thailand at some point that was mentioned in the last live. Ahhh. I'm glad they have indicated they will remain in contact. I do think it's great to see male/female friendships in the industry because I imagine if nothing else, it's good to have people in the same industry to be able to talk to and set an example to more toxic CP fans that guys and girls can be just friends. I think outside of Dylan, Esther has done a pretty good job at keeping decent friendships with most of her male co-stars so fingers crossed.
