Same here! Never in a million years did I thought I'd hear "Oh come, all ye faithful" used as background music on one hot summer day. XD

Lol, somehow I doubt he cares. He's not the Phupha Kram knew. This version only cares about himself.

Unforgotten Night was one series I wish I could forget. That, and Big Dragon. If it wasn't for MosBank, I would've gone after the production team with a machete. Why they adapted a novel that's about 90% smut and tried to make it watchable is anyone's guess.

Well, the series is based on a novel lol, and yes, the plot is very complex. That's why a lot of readers are concerned they might not be able to bring the novel to life with just 10 episodes. However, it's not just up to the screenwriters. There are a lot of factors to take into consideration, eg. budget, what producers want, what the director wants, the schedule, meeting deadlines, post-production, approval from governing departments, etc.

One thing I've noticed from most Thai dramas is that, unlike Chinese or other Asian dramas, where they sometimes change the script during production, T-dramas don't seem to have that flexibility. I don't know if that's a cultural thing, or perhaps that's the way their industry works.

nell has answered most of it, but for the waiting to kill Kram part, you gotta remember, Por (Tai's father) is a fucking psychopath. He has an obsession with needing to control everything and everyone around him, and if things don't his way, he goes berserk. I mean, the man killed Kram1 because he couldn't stand his son being gay. As for Kram2, he's pretty much messing with him by showing him that he can kill him anytime he wants, and that Kram's life is in his hands to do as he please. Hence the long dragged-out wait, and the scene where he gets a front row seat to watch Kram's "execution."

Yes, but tbh, I think that's a Thai thing. This isn't the only series I've watched where the music does more harm than good to the mood lol.

It didn't have a good start, though I have to point out it gets better as the series progresses.

Finally got around to watching episode 4. It's better. Still a bit disorganized, but not as bad as the past three eps, and the plot is making more sense. There were still a couple of moments where I was like WTF, like when Kram1's mom and Dueandao tried to rescue Kram2, or when Phupha1 abandoned Kram2 only to later join Tai1 to rescue him, but the episode packed enough action to keep me interested. I was initially concerned about Nat's acting since he seems to be more consistent when he's with anyone but Max, but overall, I thought he did a good job with staying in character. I guess it's safe to say byebye to Nong Diao because Kram has taken over lol.

Looking forward to episode 5 as it looks like we're going to learn more about Tai's backstory.

You can pretty much find everything from series highlights to previews on their channel.

Check out the Episode 4 BTS clip on Youtube, and you can hear him better. It's even funnier when he stands next to Nat.

Prang (the author) is currently translating it into English. You can find it on Readawrite.

Not a voice changer. He actually sounds like that irl.

If the trailer has any truths to it, then he's still alive. Probably imprisoned somewhere. Hopefully, we'll get our answer in the next episode.

It's a much needed wakeup call because in Kram's mind, he thinks Phupha in world 1 is the same as the one he knew in world 2. Though since Phupha1 is starting to gain memories from Phupha2, and Kram2 is starting to gain memories of Kram 1, it'll be interesting to see how the series plays out.

In the novel, the target isn't Phupha, but his entire family. In world 2, after Phupha was killed, members of his family were killed off one by one. The whole thing is pretty complicated, and I doubt production has enough time to cover the whole storyline, but I think they'll still cover the main points.

So if you really want to know what happened, I highly recommend you read the book.

Kongthup finally released the MV for "Too Late" and they most definitely did not disappoint!

Well, unlike you, I haven't watched all of the Thai BL dramas, so I honestly can't say whether or not quality has dropped. I would however, say that some of the older companies that are known for producing good BL dramas have since turned into BL drama cranking machines, while smaller and newer companies are gaining momentum with good and unique productions. Still, that doesn't really mean the quality has dropped, just that the Thai BL industry has become so saturated that companies are now thinking outside the box in order to keep the genre appealing to local and international viewers. Since they're trying to deviate from the old formula and experimenting with new ideas, there are bound to be fails, but that's part of the learning process. Just because the recent BL dramas you've watched are total crap doesn't mean the industry is getting worse.

I would add that if Thailand wants to stay competitive with other BL industries, the first thing they should do is scrap the whole CP concept. I get that it has racked in millions of dollars in profit, but it's not a good long-term formula.

This reminded me of The Sign, a Thai BL that came out late last year. It was also based on a novel, a rather complex novel, according to the director. The show had a strong start, but then midway through the series it started to get chaotic. Like, they wanted to showcase so much, yet they don't have enough episodes, so they just started stuffing ideas left and right. Overall, the series was good, though I wish they could be more structured with the plot since it's one thing to read it in a novel, but another thing to present it onscreen.

And I'm getting the same vibe with Two Worlds. They cut out quite a lot in the first two episodes, but from episode 3 and episode 4 tonight, they went from stripping the chapters bare to cramming too much into the episodes. Granted, episode 4 was better, more structured, but I worry that they're about to repeat the same mistake as The Sign. Fingers crossed that won't happen.

Kinda unfair to say that, considering just last year alone there were great BL series such as I Feel You Linger In The Air, Cherry Magic and The Sign. Just because there were some crappy ones don't mean the whole industry is getting worse.

He played Blue, a college freshman who tried out for the soccer team. He and Max didn't get much screentime. They were mostly overshadowed by Zee/Saint and Jimmy/Tommy. You didn't miss much.
