Not a Robot

Yeah, what's up with Grandma for not inviting Saifa? It didn't even make sense to fire Sailom. Kang went to flunking most of his classes to only failing one midterm. That would be a victory to me.

Or a handsome doctor we haven't met yet.

When grandmother invites Sailom to move in, my Asian brain screamed, "who will take care of Saifah?!?"

Is there an English version on this book?

The synopsis sounds similar to HIStory 1, Obsessed. It starts in 3 weeks, and I'm looking forward to it.

I think it's a wig. I think most production companies buy their wigs at the swap meet because most of them are terrible.

Sho does too so you are in good company!

It won't stop. It's almost a compulsion but since they are terminally online, they do not realize that it isn't viewed as mature or even intelligent to keep watching something that you hate, just to complain about it. I dropped the Addicted reboot because I felt it isn't that good. I stated my critique, and did not go back to that forum weekly to drag the show, nor did I continue watching the series. Why go over there weekly and nitpick everything just to aggravate people who are enjoying the show? I'm not a 10 year old who needs constant attention and validation.

I didn't know that's what it is called. I just referred to it is a d!ck sucker.

PSA: Rules for onsen and sento:
1. Wash with soap before entering the bath, and rinse.
2. Step out of the pool and leave your fluids and possible poo outside of the water.
The Japanese get uptight about even thinking you will wear a bathing suit in the tub, let alone a bunch of pearl necklaces. I love to visit both onsen and sento, and I can't enjoy the scene as much as I would like. This is all in fun, but just use the bathtub next time.

I could not stop laughing when Thad took responsibility for the Nokia phone. Even that phone is hilarious, because I didn't know that you could still get a battery for it. The way Thad wanted to be alone with Luv was so funny! I'm enjoying this comedic role with Thad's lovestruck inner thoughts.

I understand how the dubbing and inner thoughts can be annoying, and a little messy. Like in the dining room over the Nokia phone, all three of them had thoughts, but LeeLong's non-verbals were so funny, that somehow the inner thoughts made the scene funnier. The dubbing doesn't bother me, and the inner thoughts is where I get most of my laughs, but you make a very good point.

Even if everyone else hates his show, it is making me laugh and I like it very much. I love seeing Lee Long as a goofus. He is so handsome and well built, so I'm used to seeing him as a tough, or a stud, but I like the internal Thad very much. I also want to know who the key holders to the other 2 locks are.

True. I had to correct myself though, Gawin is a pretty diverse actor, so maybe he is my #2 but Neo is younger than Gawin. Most of the other actors at GMMTV play the same type of character. I love Khaotung and First, but would like to see them play a different type of character. Khaotung played Chonlatee, and did a great job.

Gun is in a league of his own. I love First and Khaotung, but except for Chonlatee, they tend to play the more stern, "deep," or gritty roles. Wait, I do have to correct myself because Gawin is great too. So maybe Gawin will be my second. Gawin is another actor who is able to play a variety of characters.

Although I think that Gun is the king, I also have a soft spot for Neo, and Phuwin as well since they were a couple in My Tee. Seeing Neo's growth is biasing me, I'll admit, but I think in this series, he is rising to the top for me, even more than Khaotung and First.

I stated this after episode 1, and I still say that Neo is the best, acting wise, in this series. He shifts effortlessly from full blown a$$hole, then how he pretends to be sweet to Nick. Neo has always been casted in different types of roles, with different acting partners, and always adapts and has chemistry with them. At GMMTV he is becoming, in my opinion, only second to Gun, in terms of acting skill. Admittedly, Gun is in a league of his own.

Codependence is a tough gig.

I understand where you're coming from because I feel the same way about mainstream dramas. In MY opinion, most non-BL Asian dramas are terrible. I cannot watch them mainly because of how women are usually portrayed. They are either shrill, nasty, vapid, conniving sex sirens, or boss girl, skinny, rich, CEO, perfect, know it alls, or victimized Cinderellas. I only watch historical mainstream dramas. I could not finish Friend Zone, but I'm enjoying Only Friends. So I get it.

I'm just guessing that since Thai is a tonal language, maybe they were trying to make it closer phonetically in the subs, since the actors definitely did not pronounce, "Chan" as rhyming with "can." Thai transliteration sometimes is not phonetic like Romaji. For example, when there is an "L" at the end of some names, I notice that Thai speakers make the "N" sound instead, e.g., Pol = Pon. If they want an English speaker to pronounce it correctly, "Pon" should be in the subs, even though visual in the episode may write it, "Pol." The "P" and "S" sounds at the end of words are often not pronounced, such as "James" being pronounced, "Jame." I could be wrong though.

I know this sounds crazy, but I'm kind of glad that Charn kept a little bit of his gray character traits, and that his husband understands why this is the case.
