Not a Robot

Deviates from the novel in places, but an overall terrific adaptation. The lead actors were excellent.

I liked this even though I didn't understand the very last scene with Tai and Kram. Obviously they did not go back to nice Tai's world, so what happened after they jumped into the blue water?

What put Satang in a special place for me was hearing the song in the series, then watching his video singing the OST to Last Twilight. His beautiful vocals just hit me in the heart. I liked him in MSP, but hearing that song, and being shocked that he was the singer made me take a closer look.

There is a possibility that grandma and uncle were fooling around prior to the divorce. People would usually not be so bold otherwise. I'm sorry that your mom had to suffer through the adult selfishness.

Before narcissism became common, we had unwritten morals we lived by, one would be not to hit on your cousin's (sibling, friend, etc) ex, especially since it was a serious relationship, not just going up to the mall for ice cream twice. Maybe you are young and have never lived through a situation where a mom dies and the dad remarries in 6 months. What's the big deal? She's dead! So what if that was her friend. I've seen this more than once too. I agree that Book should be more of a supporting role than guest. Maybe that's how GMMTV labeled it when the uploader entered the information.

My favorites are Neo and Satang, but I agree with you about Keen. However, we need to see him in a role very different from his personality. In interviews, Moo is very similar to Keen. Fourth has played different types of characters, so hopefully they will have Keen do the same.

I'm not in the target demo for this show, hate the title, but ended up loving this series. The current drama the mls are going through is just dumb angst (albeit well acted) and we could have had a fight together scenario instead, but at age 18-19, things were more confusing, and I have to remember that.

Yes, which reflects that people with power, like the CEOs in Korea who have been accused of harassing actors and singers, while the trainees and artists have to pretend not to date.

I thought it was the couple who do not get along. If figured that was the set up for the MF couple. I could be wrong though. The guy is played by Poon. I'm not as familiar with the female actors.

From what GMMTV hosts said at the Part 1 reveal, their target audience was high schoolers and teens. I think the angst is suitable for that age group, although adults would find it nonsensical. Since the characters are also 18-19, I think it's realistic to be over dramatic about everything at that age. So while as an adult it is emotionally unsatisfying and unnecessary, to me, it may appeal to the kiddos. This is in contrast to the actor Neo, who at age 23, who publicly announced he has a girlfriend an is in love. BTW, I 100% concur with your assessment of Keen.

True which is why I'm proud of Neo for announcing that he loves his girlfriend, and even showed her face.

It's what GMMTV used to produce. It used to be 2 straight, 1 BL, but it has been reconfigured to 1 BL, 1 GL, 1 MF.

Someone has to kick the industry to the curb and take the risk of going independent. Moo is a perfect candidate because he comes from a well to do family and can work hard at university. I do not want to see a Korean (sorry but the amount of abuse and suicides are documented) type contract being used to drive people apart. Moo, be a Neo and just go public with your relationship. Risk it all and Kang, don't be a stone around Moo's neck, let him go public. Yes, I know that I'm mixing a real person with fictional characters, but I'm frustrated that in 2024, this could still be happening.

I just rewatched this after years. This drama has held up over time, and I appreciate the supernatural aspect.

I don't have a full list and the movies I watched are old, since I mostly watch documentaries and BL now. When Night is Falling (lesbian writer-director), Go Fish (lesbian writers, director, actors), But I'm a Cheerleader (lesbian director, gay screenwriter) great soundtrack), The Watermelon Woman (lesbian writer-director, actors), Lost and Delirious, Better than Chocolate. I noted which I know for a fact are written or directed by lesbians, but I'm not sure about the others. Because these are films, there is some angst, and one has a tragic ending. If you want me to spoil which one, let me know.

I understand that, but I am merely pointing out that people who summit do not do this alone, and who is in your party makes a difference. I'm not a mountaineer, but have watched many documentaries on Everest, and K2, and I just see a different meaning.

Thanks viewers for your thoughts. I will watch this next week so I don't have to be sad for a week, if they drag the angst out, I will wait until he finale. These kids (Moo and Kang) are missing a point, that with very few exceptions, no one summits Everest alone, and many have died trying, even in groups. Sherpas have also lost their lives trying to save mountain climbers. It's a bittersweet analogy. I hope that Moo and Kang make it through.

Has anyone read the novel? Was it easy to read once you get into it? I read sample pages on Amazon and it's written in first person. Maybe in Thai it is easy to differentiate who the "I" is since they have many pronoun choices, but since it changes POV many times within a chapter, it was kind of hard to follow. If it were not $16 for an ebook, and was about $8-$10, I would take the risk. Also, I can tell by the sample pages, they made many changes from the book. Just asking. Thank you.

Except for BTS (because it took them so long from debut to superstardom, they have a good overseas compensation percentage), I don't support Kpop or the Korean entertainment industry. Yes, I watch their BL, but only after it airs and on aggregators (don't hate me). I'm glad they have fans like you to support them though.

I'm catching up on things due to travel and it took me 4 episodes to realize that the actor playing Yoyak was in Manner of Death. I'm glad that he is having this great opportunity as a lead in this series.
