I’m so glad Jiwon finally stood up for herself but honestly I still don’t understand Sumin. Is it because…
In the webtoon, there's a backstory on why Soomin is the way she is and why she did all of those things to Jiwon, but I don't know how much the TV series will cover that since there's only 6 episodes left.
Bermuda Park, Panties ParkEmployees U&K: I don’t watch tv. I come to work to get my fix 🤣🤣🤣🤣
There's something very satisfying with the way Department Head Lee recited his nicknames before banning them. I could feel him smirking from the screen. XD
That ice cream scene got me laughing so hard. Gotta love the two siblings. Episode 10 definitely did not disappoint, and I can't wait to see the drama that'll happen at Minhwan/Soomin's wedding.
What i'm worried about is their next drama. Although no info yet about them (they will do some drama separately).…
I'd love to see them in another series, but I know they both want to be more versatile and not limit themselves to only doing BL series. That being said, I'm sure they'll return when a good project comes up.
The execution between Thai and Kdramas are extremely different...For a Thai drama, this is brilliant!! You don't…
I get what you mean. I think Thailand productions are beginning to understand the importance of international viewerships and bring their shows into the 21st century. They're learning, abeit slowly, but just looking at the dramas (BL/GL/BG) and you can tell they're trying. That's huge for a traditional country such as Thailand.
I guess in TV, the cops either have to be invicible geniuses or absolute morons in order to gain viewers' attention.…
In North America and European countries, police dramas tend to be more realistic. Like, they're ordinary cops/detectives going about their jobs, while dealing with the problems in the personal lives. It feels real and relatable, yet some may find them boring since they might not find the characters interesting.
Then you have Asian countries, where the police are either portrayed as invincible heroes with an IQ of 180 or they're strong enough to take down ten people at once, or idiots who messes up the investigation and make things difficult for the lead characters. It's only in recent years that some countries start to copy western countries and even adapt some of their shows, but Thailand seems to be slow on following the trend.
Of course, these are just my observation. While I don't think it's fair to compare Thai dramas with Korean dramas since their styles are completely different, I get what you mean. Thailand seems to still be trying to balance between pleasing international viewers while keeping their roots.
this is back on track, I'm loving it again. but I have to say, that has to be the dumbest set of police investigators…
I guess in TV, the cops either have to be invicible geniuses or absolute morons in order to gain viewers' attention. Competence just isn't interesting enough. :P
Reading the comments section and thinking that, at this point, they should just rename Chalothon "Dr. Slowmotion." Man, y'all really hate this guy, huh? Gotta give the screenwriters props for coming up with that name. :P
Well we didn't get an explanation for a half dead Phaya wanting smex when he showed up, BUT I guess it was supposed…
OMG, I thought the same thing about Ning's death scene, but I figured since those police officers were on the take, they probably did something to the crime scene so no one would suspect anything.
thanks for the information, I'll update my review - I still think Day could have easily gone to another country…
It's not uncommon for people to have to wait years for an organ transplant because of low supply in donors, priority lists and matches. In Day's case, depending on the criteria to get on the transplant waitlist, he might not be considered a high priority. In this aspect, P'Aof definitely did his research.
However, I can understand some of the flaws you pointed out. P'Aof is known for his slow (sometimes dragging) pace in his works, so there were some moments where I'm like "get a move on already." Plus, I found Day getting not one but TWO cornea transplant operation to be very unrealistic. In the second dance scene, Mhok promised to do better, and not to coddle him or lie to him like before. I was excited to see what their relationship would look like the second time around. Then poof, he got a transplant. I was like, then what's the point of making all those promises? To me, it's more realistic to show their relationship with Day still being blind (yeah, I'm heartless). They could've used this chance to show viewers that you can love and live with someone who has a disability, yet they've wasted that opportunity.
Having Day go to another country for a transplant is not realistic, either. If production write that into the series, they're promoting two things:
1) it's easy to go to another country for a transplant, which is a lie. Ask any medical professional. They rarely or never suggest medical/transplant tourism. Going to a foreign country for a transplant is very complicated. You have a lot of things to consider, and most insurance companies won't cover it.
2) They're promoting organ trafficking.
Yes, seeking other medical options abroad is a storyline production could've explored, but then Last Twilight would turn out to be completely different from what we've watched.
In Before Twilight, P'Aof mentioned he and the staff did extensive research into living with visual impairments and blindness, and Sea also researched so he could portray Day as authentically as possible. While I'm not familiar with the cornea transplant operation or how long it takes to get one, I believe that, like every organ donation wait list, there's often more demand than supply. Not to mention, medical/transplant tourism is not as simple as you think. Unless you're desperate or dying, most people would prefer to stay in their hometown or home country.
To be honest, I'm not surprised by the breakup. Yes, it's sad, but it's also necessary. Keep in mind that Mhok was Day's caretaker before he became his boyfriend. The two roles are completely different, as Night pointed out. Yet, throughout the episode, I didn't see a boyfriend. Despite the change in title, Mhok is still taking care of Day like he's his caretaker. A relationship should be two people on equal footing supporting each other, not one depending on the other. I hate to say this, but Mhok and Day are so wrapped up in each other that they're blinded (figuratively) to what they truly want for themselves and for each other.
I know that many people aren't happy with the breakup, but sometimes, it is needed so that people can grow. Over the course of the series, we've seen Mhok and Day lifting each other up, so that they're no longer wallowing in misery over their misfortunes. Now, it's time to rediscover themselves again, and that's something they have to do on their own. No one can do it for them.
On the bright side, P'Aof isn't known for splitting up couples and ending a series on a bad note, so he'll definitely us a satisfying ending for this series.
