SKH522

This whole episode was just Gemini and Fourth giving each other heart eyes and I LOVED it. I can’t get enough of their chemistry, it’s too cute, I need more series from them full of just sweet moments.

It keeps getting better with each episode! And I love how romantic the this version’s couple is portrayed!

Oh My God.

I want you to read what you wrote but pretend it’s about a teenage girl, then consider my point of view.

Listen, I get wanting G4 to play roles that are different, and they will, they have long careers ahead of them, but my argument from the beginning was that I disagreed with OP and thought they didn’t look too old to play their current roles. And REALISTICALLY this won’t be the last time they play high school characters.

Right? Like I can’t think of two actors who are more appropriate to play high school characters, except maybe those Only Boo boys.

You know what Fourth’s age is. So this is irrelevant to my argument.

I said he matured and looks his age (19) but still he could play someone older or younger well. LIKE MOST ACTORS DO. I don’t know, you must be new to watching TV or something.

Maybe consider how insisting a teenager looks older than his age might come off to other people. And yeah I think a lot of people who say Fourth looks mature or older are objectifying him. If people were to say this about a female actor it would be
More obvious.

Perception of age varies a lot, I agree. But doesn’t that prove that you can’t really say a 19 year-old looks too old to play a 17-year old? Because in real life teenagers all
age at different rates. Some physically mature faster than others. I have 18 year-old students with full facial hair and they are large muscular guys. They are still 18 and they still look 18. They just physically matured differently than their peers.

Totally fine! We all have our own tastes and preferences!

I’m just being realistic. Fourth doesn’t look awkward playing a high school student and I think the insistence that he looks too old is disingenuous. Like you just want to see him play a college student, it doesn’t have anything to do with his ability to play a character that is younger than him.

Earth has played characters both older and younger than himself. Fourth has done the same, and he is doing it well. I’m also skeptical of people who insist that teenagers look older than their age. It feels like justification for something.

He looks his age which is 19. But it’s totally normal to have young adults play high school students. Most high school characters in dramas are played by actors in their 20s for a variety of practical reasons. It’s very rare to have teen actors play teens. And Y’all are just going to have to get used Fourth playing a high school student because this won’t be the last time.

I’m enjoying it because I don’t expect them to be IdaAoki. IdaAoki are uniquely Japanese. They have to make changed in Thai adaptation to fit Thai sensibilities. This is it’s own story thing. I enjoy both the similarities to the original and the differences.

Put Fourth next to any of the actors in their 20s at GMM and he still looks very young. He can’t even grow real facial hair yet. Like he is definitely maturing but like most actors he can still convincingly play a character that is just a few years younger than him

Not all Manga readers agree. Some of us are having fun with the series. I’m enjoying it greatly.

The drop between part 1 and
part 3/4 is normal for all GMM
Shows. Unless there is a sex scene then the views will go up.

The episode 5 confession scene was so cute. I’ve watched it several times, Gem and Fourth’s acting has improved so much. Atom went on a whole face journey before he was able to spit out the words and it was so fun to watch.

They were 19 playing 16/17 year olds. Atom and Kongthap are 11th graders. They look older than they did in MSP but they don’t look like adults yet. Save the college roles for the 21+ actors.

Who r u

Each episode gets better. I absolutely loved the delulu besties Atom and Mudmee in this episode. Now that the crush mix-up is sorted out we are getting development in their friendship. Fourth’s take on Atom is different than Aoki in the book but I found it hilariously endearing. We got some backstory for Atom which was so heart breaking and also helps contextualize his insecurities and over the top reactions. I also love how Gemini is playing Kongthap. In this version he feels more autism coded than the manga which would explain why he is struggling so hard to understand how he affects Atom, but he cares so much and keeps trying to understand. He isn’t stoic and unemotional, he just shows emotion differently.

I saw some complaints about the MSP reference, but I thought it was cute. This director likes to reference his past work with the actors. He did the same thing in MSP when he referenced Bad Buddy because Mark was in BB and MSP.

Okay bye. Like anyone cares!
