Not a Robot

I did not watch 4 Minutes because of the endless cigarette smoking and only watched Shine for Mile and Apo. Even though I thought the acting was excellent, the story and storytelling were mediocre. That's my opinion. BOC didn't do the boomers justice, instead preferring to focus on BOC's C-suite's obvious smoking fetish. Then to have that creep, sexual harasser Victor as second lead was pretty vile. After he was given a clear boundary more than once, he still persisted. You cannot trust a person who will not accept "no." The cringe Beatles break-up party must have been satire.

I've worked with clients like Ice, (though not filmed) who end up on drugs and in prison. They had dysfunctional families and often the women (mom, grandmother) turns a blind eye to abuse, puts a man first or abandons them. They can't be too real or people would be traumatized, so I thought they did a great job. I like the Ja and Tae pairing. I thought that I would struggle with it, but I was fine. I was shocked to find out how young the women are. I thought they were in their mid 30's! I was thinking that Nikita should have been cast as a professor because she looks too old to play a student. It's not a slam against older women, only that they look 10 years older than their stated ages. Maybe the make-up artists are putting too much product on them.

Professional Stand-in was a whole series based on kidnapping, rape, abuse that was sexual, physical and emotional, financial exploitation, but people slobbered all over it. they even wanted a happy ending for the criminal abuser and the victim Joe. I don't like moral superiority and I don't like hypocrisy. I also do not believe in censorship or dictating that the bad guy is always inherently evil. That's what censorship boards used to do with films. I aslo do not believe that being able to tolerate dark stuff is glorification. I've read enough translated Japanese literature to understand this. I can understand the literary genius of Mishima with the understanding some of the twisted stuff he wrote about is fiction, or condone the dumb things that he did on the last day of his life.

It was just okay. We never learned what the tipping point was for the older guy. These KBL mini series have been largely disappointing. I thought this would be better because I like a good laundry romance.

I never got used to Chi Cheng being so skinny. I preferred the more rugged Chi of the original and novel. I think the actors did a good job. I wish them well in the future.

If I want unhappy endings, I could just go to work. My field is full of unhappy endings and trying to rebuild after making several bad decisions. A Japanese BL had our MODC couple in their series showing that he survived the accident. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap4yXkQ3d7k

I always enjoy Boun and Prem, but it seems like the IP changed from dark and mysterious to being all about family when it transferred to GMMTV. I watched the Wabi Sabi preview recently and can see major differences. I would have like to have seen Santa remain as Ciar. Barcode did a great job, but he is always given opportunities to play edgy characters and Santa doesn't get cast in darker character roles. Since he was the original Ciar, I would have liked to have seen Santa carry that character through. Overall, I think that is was a good series.

If you watch Make Our Days Count, watch up to Episode 18, skip 19 & 20. It's lovely until then. Then read the alternate ending to the story, which made fans made because that's the ending they should have used. I'm not sure it's still on wattpad because it's been years. I didn't watch Love in the Big City because there was way too much hype. I have no idea who the actors are, actually don't care..

As upsetting as the abuse scenes were, especially the bleeding in the shower, I'm glad that it was stripped down so the viewer had to watch the ugliness. Both the child and adult actors were brave to take these roles. I'm on the fence if I would have allowed my son to take such a role, but I don't know what went on behind the scenes as far as safety plans.

Tee did an excellent job, portraying a triggered client with a nervous system freeze response . I'm just surprised that the female doctor did not realize that Silom was triggered (in a clinical, not pop culture way) and that he was having a freeze response. She would know that he was triggered, not resistant, as she expressed. "Not ready" is often interpreted as resistant to therapy. I'm glad that Nabnueng transferred the case because a dual relationship would be unethical.

Judging by the pilot, they made major changes to the novel.

Surprisingly, I really like this series. I saw stills and thought the series was going to be about biking. I usually binge watch now, but this is the only series that I'm watching in progress.

I'm looking forward to the Arthit and Dao story because out of all of the couples, they do not have a history or any kind, while everyone else does. I'm looking forward to their story.

I'm not one of them, this is just through observation, but it's very hard for people pleasers to say no, or be honest with people when the information is "negative." Just like Toh could have told Teh, that he was going after Jimmy, and will take responsibility if it explodes, but didn't, he just sat there and smiled. I prefer the 2nd lead over Jimmy, but we already know the end of the story. The cat dad will turn into a puppy.

Thank you!

Thank you. I have not watched this yet, and I will make sure that I watch these bonus scenes too.

I'm ride or die for Pavel, I don't care what he's in, but this was a great series. The occult undertone, combined with psychic ability was a good mix. King making such a swift recovery, well I'll let that slide.

The novel disappeared and I didn't get to finish it. Does anyone know where I can read it in English? Thanks

I thought this was a vertical, so I wasn't planning to watch, but I learned from here that this is widescreen. Thanks!

Toh will stand up, then and we get to watch Jim lay on the road, and hopefully a motorbike driver splashes gutter water on him. But we know that he will grovel his way back, but at least he will let Jim know that he is not a sure thing.

James does a good job of playing beauty is skin deep but ugly is to the bone characters. I would love to see him play a nerd, but I can't see that happening.
