1. The background music is killing me. It's meniac. I had even the feeling that it is even louder than usual in ep 3.
2. The quality of the series, the tone, the filming, the colours etc., went even worse. Not that it was good in the previous two episodes, but ep 3 had, in parts, the charm of someone filming the surroundings with a mobile phone.
3. The story is confusing?
4. Do translators communicate with each other? Or is it a split personality who translates this? Otherwise I cannot explain that one person is translated with 3-4 different variants of his name.
Step by Step is program here. I took about 7 hours to watch the 2-hours long final episode. It's always a bad sign if a series makes time jumps into the future (2 years later)... But no one has developed. I just could not watch it in one rush. Actually, I do not even know how I could watch it at all. But it is over now. Thank god!
The cut version is totally different than the uncut one. Usually, they cut out some steamy scenes, kisses etc. but this time, whole plots are missing. For instance: The part where Thana is cheating on Patis is missing in ep 5. Ep 6, however, starts with them fighting about just this. No wonder that I could not make sense of this series. I overcame my pride this time and watched ep 6 on platform, uncut.
I like your theory. After Addicted Love and Make Every Day Count it seems like the writers and powers that be…
One of the unwritten rules of BL is that BL has to have a happy ending. Some writers and directors do not hold to this rule. Addicted Love was actually meant to be happy ending, but due to the Chinese censorship it was changed. Make our days count has, in fact, not a sad ending. It is just that the second novel was never filmed. There are only a few Thai BL I can think of which have a bad ending: What the Duck and He's coming to me. The Miracle of Teddy Bear isn't really a BL, but a Lakhorn and therefore does not follow the BL conventions. I commented somewhere else that 99.9% of all BL are happy endings. Ships hardly ever sink in the series, only in reality, because fans often have too much imagination (like now with Ohm and Nanon, LOL).
The series lives up to its name.I find those 74-77 minutes exhausting. While I often complain about plots which…
Then, I do not really like those tropes in BL. Do the writers think, that "gay" life is just about being jealous/envious? Always an ex-gf, ex-bf coming up. Pat is behaving like an infant - I mean, how old is he? 22-25? A university graduate? Crying like a baby because a client came up to him? Which matured business man, a CEO, heir of a rich family wants to have a bf like that? It feels artificial. Then, what is it about "hiding" in front of your best friends, keeping all like a secret, doing like it's a scandal if they know about your relationships? Aren't they your best friends? And Jarb/Jeng...always doing like hating each other, until one of them threatens to leave and the other suddenly realises "it"...
The series lives up to its name. I find those 74-77 minutes exhausting. While I often complain about plots which are done in warp speed, or not having enough time, I feel they stretch every small scene in Step by Step like a chewing gum. I cannot watch it at a stretch; I have to take breaks over and over again. It's not always positive to take one's time. The story in itself is okay, but a bit of speed, please....
I lost it in this episode again- Which school student has a full set of coffee on his desk, not only including coffee powder, but also the suitable cups. LOL. I love Thai series for their open advertisements. In my home country this is not allowed...
You are new to MDL, right? Never trust the ratings on MDL. This isn't rated because it's not a GMMTV production, neither Ohm, nor Nanon play in it. You will see that 90% of all series here in MDL are rated even BEFORE they air...
Isn't this a bit childish to reduce this to one episode? Ohm and Nanon will be, in fact, in three episodes. Today, tomorrow and in the other cross over episode next week. Only because EarthMix appear tomorrow half of BB fans freak out.
To my complete surprise ABAAB managed to be much worse than Star in My Mind. At least in the JoongDunk series…
Although I liked ABAAB and think, so far, this was the best in Our Skyy (not because it is fabulous, but because the other sets of episodes did not give me any vibes), I also spotted the absence of the supports. Those two episodes were clearly focused on ForceBook and riding on their popularity. All others were reduced to mere extras.
ABAAB were, for me, the best episodes so far. It had all, except some spicy scenes, but I can live with that. The topic was, actually, the same as last week's MSP: a role switch. However, in ABAAB Cher tried to be the boss, but Cher's personality always came up. That was fun. In MSP last week, it was just switching the actors, so it looked absolutely boring. I am sad that ABAAB is over, 'n hope that there will be a special any time in the near future.
This was for me the best set of episodes so far. Really entertaining. The role switch made sense, Cher being the boss was perfect. A total contrast to MSP.
That was okay. A bit too "Make BL films for dummies", but solid.
I don't get the "chicken and beer" thing near the end, because they apparently eat a shrimp soup with red wine. Is that a joke or just a translation error?
Hmmm....I would venture to say that most of us here are not okay with the elderly Western sex tourists (and now…
I see that I am a bit too harsh. I wrote after reading comments here and on Reddit. Yes, it is quite an age gap. But both are mature, and it's legal. I am into mature people, anyway, and I would've chosen the Uncle Kiew over the younger.
My shout-out was not only directed to the viewers, but also to the series (doubt, though, they are reading). It is quite normal in Thailand to have an older husband. Creepy or not, it is how it is. My ex-bf's sister (22 yo)'s husband is 64, by the way. They even have a daughter now. Quite normal here.

...and it does not disappoint me. This definitely will be in my top 5 of this year...
