I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but the leads have zero chemistry and Khem in general is a dud. Peem is also kinda dull but the series isn't named after him and I like his scenes with the twins so it's whatever.

At first I thought the story was just too busy for the chemistry to be apparent but after thinking about it I've realized what a BS excuse that was. Chemistry is either there or it's not and here it most definitely is not. With TNP, story and execution was all-around awful but the chemistry between Z+N (and support pairs too) was obvious from their first interaction. Same can be said for MGB - a hot mess (the bad kind) of a story but the leads had really great chemistry.

So yeah, the chemistry between leads is stilted unlike the Chan + Jet duo who have probably shared more glances than sentences yet still have more chemistry than Peem + Khem

That actually makes sense!

question... is there a reason HY is so formal with SSY?
it's always "Mr. Sheng" which is both strange and cute
but it's HY so I'm guessing there's a reason behind it?

you're not wrong, he is always angry lol. I think today's episode may have been the first time he wasn't so on edge and seeing his face in a more relaxed state was almost weird lol. I like him though. he's comic relief for me

omg, he's going to give Mr. Sheng a heartattack!
good to hear he finds out from Hua Yong though

tysm! 🤍

When about does SSY discover HY's an enigma?
And please tell me he finds out from HY himself.

Zheng Yu Shan > Hua Yong

💀

I'm sorry but...

True, maybe even reasons beyond legal ones.

I just hope stuff is going on bts with Smart potentially seeking a way out b/c if he stays with GIR the likelihood of him returning as Jin is slim to none and if it somehow does miraculously does happen under GIR then I imagine the reunion would be awkward and sadly there's a really good chance this whole mess killed the magic and trust they had the first time around. So yeah, hopefully Smart is moving smart bts. It's the only salvageable way forward.

It's crazy because surely he's been courted by other management companies and I'm sure if he wanted to leave GIR all he would have to do is hint as much to the WeTV side and they'd be quick to make GIR go away, if only to keep TF success going. So the question is why hasn't he jumped ship (assuming he wants to) or is he unable to go behind GIR's back even for a moment to make those wants (assuming he wants out) known to the right people.

Indeed. I've seen some speculate that his contract with them could be up soon - with the hasty album rollout as the basis of the theory - as it seems likely that his contract with them would've included a guarantee for at least one album release. Though I've also seen some say he resigned with them but I don't know how anyone would know anything about his contract to say for certain either way so it's all hearsay.

I think it's possible he wants to stay with them for reasons only he knows but at the same time he's been looking so sad and down (or maybe it's just exhaustion) since everything transpired, and with the weird lack of tweeting about his own music releases, I can't help but think something more is going on there or GIR is sabtaoging him on his way out.

I don't trust anything they have to say tbh and that update is not new. At the end of the day they walked away from the table and have the most to answer for as far as I'm concerned. TF mess aside, I'd like to understand why Smart hasn't used his own X account to promote his music releases even once? Is that not strange to anyone else?

It was confusing to me at first too.

opening – past, 2 years prior
jun + girl @ club – past, 2 years prior
work bathroom kiss – present
jun + guy @ club – present

The blonde is just a guy Jun was casually talking to and more of a friend/confidant of sorts to him. When Sorn saw the blonde picking Jun up from work he assumed him to be Jun's boyfriend because he was told as much by their colleague but they were never officially anything.

I need S2 for Jade 😔

same... the only thing that requires additional payment is the 'making of' doc

I think he wants to be an idol more than he wants to be an actor and the latter just helped pave way for his idol dreams.

In any case, be it idol or actor, GIR is a useless company. Bu for whatever reason he seems content with them and their snail pace approach to advancing his career. He's been with them for years and has wanted to be an idol for all of that time yet it took ditching TF for them to even get him into a studio. A whole mess.

the accuracy 🤣

I agree with you about the trailer. It gave a lot of the big scenes away but while it delivered on aesthetics and intrigue it failed to convey ann actual premise. By the end of it the most I got was: scheming omegas, duel leads/couples, a company's stock collapsed. They essentially spent 10 mins to explicitly say and showcase their "top-tier production".

Ultimately I'm glad people are enjoying it even if I'm disappointed because the actors deserve the praise and not everyone is going to like the same thing and that's life. The fierce defense of it under any and every comment offering even the slightest bit of criticism feels unnecessary though. Like you said, everyone is entitled to their opinion. People who love it should be able to shout just as loud as those who don't. But to actively be debating others over personal opinions as if there could only be ONE is wild.

Meaning what?
