Good decision for the explanation you've laid, exactly why i recommended for people who can't look past that to skip because the whole premise of the show is that and its more likely it'll just weird or piss people off so better to skip it instead.

Earths character was already in love with Mix even before the swap. Mix is in his sisters body but Earth and the audience mostly see EarthMix interact throughout the show, although some people still find it weird since he's still technically in his sisters body which is acceptable. They switched back by the end of episode 8. If you're gonna watch only EarthMix scenes then you'll be watching a lot because majority of the scenes are between them 😁

If you’re not a fan or you hate body swap plots i really would recommend you skip this one, just like the one who commented just below me (if you’re someone who can’t get past the “they’re not in their own body” premise) . Ofcourse i’m not telling people what to watch and not to watch, it’s just a suggestion 😅

We all started watching this show knowing what we’re getting into which is a body swap show. The whole premise of the show revolves around the body swap (which was emphasized in the trailer) and no amount of explanation/ context might make it less icky/weird for some people and thats ok and very valid. Just like some see it differently which is also valid. It’s just a matter of personal preference/opinion.

Again i’m also still baffled by some plot choices by the team behind this, but i’ll still be supporting it for EarthMixJanWhite alone since i’ve seen how hard they worked on this.

I'm not sure if you're meant to reply to me but i actually like the show despite it's many flaws. As i've said i personally would've preferred they didn't kiss but since the show chose to do it i was judging it based on how they handled and executed it, which in my opinion they did properly, they didn't just do it for fan service but has emotional implications for the characters.

I think some people just want everything to be perfect -black and white, good and bad, right and wrong- that they forget this characters are people who can make wrong choices too. It's about how they would deal with their choices after that also matters.

Yes, that's why i still stand by my comment that Korn hasn't been inappropriate with Lins body aside from the kiss which happened in the heat of the moment and was a lapse of judgment.

I 100% agree with you that it was absolutely unnecessary to include the kissing scene especially since it wasn’t even in the novel to begin with. The director and team behind this show continue to baffle me with some of their choices. Personally, i’m not trying to make excuses for the show, this show has so much flaws. I’m just giving my views of the scenes given to us and how they dealt with it. Would i have preferred they didn’t include it instead? 100000% yes!

And yes, GMMTV is not helping releasing all these clips/baits. It’s bad enough that some scenes might look bad/ problematic, it gets worse when theres no context 😔

I still stand by my comment that Korn hasn’t done anything that he wouldn’t have done has it been Lin except for the kiss part. Yes, they kissed but it was because of their characters pent up feelings for each other and a lapse of judgement. I would’ve preferred they not include it in the first place because they were doing fine up until that point but i understand it, and it’s not like they’re acting like its nothing. They know it was wrong and a mistake.

I’m not trying to defend the show, it’s far from perfect and has alot of flaws. I do agree though i don’t understand why the need to include the kiss scene when it wasn’t even in the novel to begin with. That’s just my own opinion 😊

Thank you for saying this, this was what scared me, that people would watch those scene and judge it without watching the whole episode.

Honestly, i would’ve preferred they waited until they were back in their bodies before kissing but i do see that it was all those pent up feelings for both of their characters and a lapse of judgement at that moment. And the show didn’t make it seem romantic or cute after, even during the kiss you can see Win’s hesitation and after, pushing Korn like that. Both of them felt bad after especially Win who was ashamed. The scene after was so good, showing Win’s sadness, confusion, shame and regret. The show didn’t just brush off the consequence of the kiss and showed both of them acknowledged it was a mistake. Like you said, it has a meaning (i don’t think its quite hidden) and not just a kiss, for me it was an emotional struggle for Win.

It’s really sad that people are already judging the show based from some short clips, they are showing some issues/problems in the show but is also acknowledging it and not letting it pass. Like Win’s anger issue from the beginning, they also acknowledged that. These characters are flawed and not perfect but they grow during the show.

Also with regards to Korn's skinship with Win in Lins body, from some clips i've seen before the swap, Korn has always been that close and comfortable with Lin herself that they hug and comfort each other a lot that's why i didn't find it weird.

Personally i haven't seen anything they did that would make me uncomfortable too or that Korn wouldn't do if it was Lin herself. I think thats also one of the reason why Win thought Korn likes Lin instead of him because Korn and Lin are very comfortable with each other even before the swap.

I also wouldn't take OhmNanons fans as significantly smaller compared to OffGun because although they're recent, BB has been really popular too (and both Ohm and Nanon has a huge fanbase/followers before BB), take BrightWin for example they're also new compared to OffGun but their fanbase is bigger compared to OG (i think).

What i'm saying is it's still too early to see who'll win the awards because if i'm not mistaken the voting period last for weeks or even months for those awards and BB and ON fans might still surprise you :)

Yeah, either way all shows nominated are great but at the end of the day it'll be which fandom/fanclub would drop more money (i'm not saying thats bad hehe). It's more like a popularity award rather than a proper "acting/drama" award, so i really wouldn't take it too seriously.

In my opinion it wouldn't really matter if they choose a different scene for BB. Fans of OhmNanon and Bad Buddy would still vote for BB and whichever scene is nominated. Majority of the votes for this kinds of awards rely on the artists and their fans/fanclubs to vote since this needs money so it's more like which fandom has the bigger/richer fans not really the impact of the scene. As Elektraa said (same as me), i don't see alot of casual viewers who'd pay to vote for any of the scene (big enough that would actually affect the results) except for the fans/fanclubs of the artists and the show.

Here's a link for the shows first OST by EarthMix, for those who might be interested :)

Honestly, it's really hard to base anything on the rating for this one right now. A good chunk of the rating right now (even before the first ep was released) was from people who was angry at GMMTV for not making the show available for interfans and in turn dropped it and/or rated it 1. The rating for this actually started at around 5 when it premiered because of that.

So now we don't know how many of those who rated the show actually watched all 4 episodes exclusively available only in Thai right now because as of writing, only the first episode has been leaked with eng sub for interfans.

Anyway, what i'm saying is maybe don't based too much on the rating for now and wait til' its available for all viewers before we can rely on the rating :)

Exactly, all we were asking for was a heads up of what we can expect but them not saying anything and making interfans wait all night was so insensitive of them. We were fine waiting until March/April and then they announced the new date but didn't make it clear it will be exclusively for Disney+ hotstar subscriber only, we understand that since subscribers paid they get VIP access but they could've made it clear and also given us interfans that same option.

Anyway atleast GMMTV has announced that it will be available soon and even scheduled a live with EarthMix and some of the cast later so hopefully they'll announce it later.

GMMTV did update on twitter that the show will be available soon on Youtube, although no specific details were given. I hope that "soon" really means anytime now and not 1 month from now. Was that so hard? They even scheduled a live with EarthMix and some casts so maybe they'll announce their plans then.

They really waited until people were ready to start rioting and dropping this show before giving an update. Let's hope they'll make it available for us soon.

Personally, i think GMMTV is experimenting on different options they can broadcast their future shows. Just like their recent shows which are exclusive on random different platforms like Ais, Disney and WeTV (some are available in YT, some are not in some countries) . It kind of make sense why they release 2 episode per week for exclusive rights platform and so it can finish half as fast and then release it on their usual GMM25 channel and YT after (with their usual OST, promotion etc.) so the whole airing time is just the same if they released it 1 ep per week like they usually do. They could've made it clear from the start how they plan to broadcast it so people didn't expect.

I still think its a bad idea especially since interfans would be prone to spoilers even before they make it available for us. If they were gonna do this i wished they'd made an option for interfans to be able to access it too.

Still sad that they tried this style with EM's comeback show because alot of people are really looking forward to it. As much as were all pissed with GMMTV, downvoting the show will affect the artists too and their future projects. Let's remember that the 6 rating doesn't really reflect the quality of the show (yet) since its only been 1 episode but mostly reflect the fans outrage over not being able to watch it too.

hahaha your comment is so funny but sadly true. I feel like they barely had any plot to stretch for 12 episodes to begin with and yet they managed to drag it (not in a good way) for 11 episodes with the plot not fully explored yet.
