Angst isn't for everyone, though I wouldn't be so hung up on ratings since they're not that accurate. Plus, it's still early. Rating will change as the show progresses.

From the novel, Ming is kinda twisted (imo). He fell in love with Tong after seeing him in a movie, but since Tong is straight, he uses Joe as a substitute. It's not until Joe found out about Tong and confronted Ming about it that he begins to re-examine his feelings. However, by the time he realizes that he loves Joe, it's already too late. He's done a lot of irreparable damage, and of course, Joe died in that stunt accident.

Ironically, Ming later found out that Tong's back in the fight scene (the one that made him fell in love) was actually Joe's back. Tong lied about being the one who did all the stunts. Which is a slap in Ming's face as he realizes how stupid and blind he's been this whole time, mistreating Joe and allowing Tong to string him along. That was a "Karma's a bitch" kind of moment.

Just when I thought the series was getting better, they had to screw it up with the last two episodes. I understand the part about Kram2 caring for Tai2 was a significant part of the novel, but the way they executed it just felt rushed. And why on earth did they have to change the ending? The NC scene at the end is just excessive and imo, unnecessary. I supposed MaxNat fans would happily eat it up, but I wish they'd kept the Ash exchange ritual from the novel. That would've been a more touching ending.

This series a step-up from Naughty Babe, though production could've done better to do the novel justice.

Not sure, but Maiake withdrew from it, so I'm guessing it's either gonna take a while for them to recast or they might have to shelf it indefinitely.

Having read the novel beforehand, I have to say Professional Body Double is not an easy novel to adapt into live action. However, this is turning out to be a good series. It takes a while to figure out the flashbacks and present times, but so far, they're doing a fantastic job chronicling Joe and Ming's relationship between the accident, and the aftermath of Joe's death. I look forward to seeing when Joe's friends figure out who he really is.

That depends on th e contract between GMMTV and TV Asahi, but I don't think there'll be any problems. They have shown Japanese and Korean adaptations on YouTube. What happened with Cherry Magic was an accident.

Nope, these are adaptations, not spin-offs.

It took a while for me to figure out what's happening, but somehow, I'm loving the whole drama within the entertainment industry storyline. Some people may find it silly for the two actresses to be feuding over a stylist, but it's actually quite common lol. While I'm still not sure how the dream thing fits into all this, I find this series pretty interesting.

Yup. Basically, Joe died when he went over that cliff, but his soul somehow found its way to a comatose patient three years later. If they're following everything in the novel, then his body would be found later in the series.

Yeah.... about that... I'm afraid it's not gonna happen. He's lucky he even has a body right now.

This isn't a bad series, but it didn't have a good start. I'd say the series starts to get better at around episode 5 or 6, but sadly, that's more than halfway through the series. Like you said, it isn't perfect, but it has some good things. Had they done a better job explaining the rules of the parallel worlds in the beginning, this definitely would've been a top-notch series.

On the other hand, I see improvement in Max and Nat's acting, so that's something good from this series.

Nine episodes worth of pent-up frustration finally let out in one scene. XD

Yeah, finally lol.

I think the way Kongthup does it is that they'd upload a reaction video with the cast, followed by BTS, and usually upload the preview (or TV spot, as they called it) of the next episode on Monday/Tuesday.

Annnnnddddd my heart is completely shattered... Poor Tai. I get the need for Kram to go back to his world. Still, to lose Kram a second time, can't imagine how devastating that is for Tai. :(

Hope we get a happy ending in the finale.

EMS is hilarious. I've rewatched both seasons twice and it never gets old. It's a shame that Cupid's Last Wish didn't get as much attention as ATOTS and MLC because it really showcased their comedy acting skills. That car scene is still one of my favorites.

Lmao conservative parents groups will have plenty to say if this is a kids show. XD

GMMTV is geared more towards a younger audience, so I doubt the regular lakorn formula would appeal with that particular demographic. Maybe something along the line of The War of Flowers, but with less focus on family drama and more on the mystery/suspense.

You obviously haven't watched the original version, and the HK version is pretty over-the-top, too. This? This is quite tamed compared with the other two lol.

So it's basically Pretty Little Liars with a combination of Succession followed by elements of Thai lakorn. Given the novel is written by the same author who wrote The Jungle, I guess we're in for one helluva family reunion.
