my own is if they were to do S2 without smart , they should introduce a new character , cos no one can replace…
That would make sense if this had been a series with an original story but it's not - it's an adaptation of a preexisting story, world and characters. You do not buy an IP to a story and its characters only to make them go poof in favor of writing in new ones. At that point the story you invested heavily in is no longer the story you're telling, so what did you really even buy? Aside from being a terrible and illogical business move it would also be offensive to the original creator and a slap in the face to fans of the original source material and previous adaptations.
So realistically, only two options remain: recast or scrap future seasons altogether
So is a second season of the series totally dead with this Smart news? Or is he just done as Jin?
As disappointing as the idea of a Jin recast is, I find the prospect of the series not getting its rightfully earned chance to continue storytelling on account of this unfortunate situation even sadder, so I hope WeTV does what they need to do for the overall good of the series. Even if it hurts 🥺
It's in a way giving shades of KinnPorsche's success + untimely demise. And by that I mean, it doesn't matter who one felt was to blame because in the end EVERYONE (actors, fans, crew, investors, etc.) suffered from the implosion. Thus it would be awful for Top Form's future as a potential continuing series as well as those still committed to their roles within it to see a fate similar to the KP collective. If the situation can be helped in any meaningful way to keep things going then I hope for the sake of everyone involved that it does continue.
I knew the body switching trope was bound to include some wild out-of-character shenanigans but I really did not expect to see Max down on all fours as a result ðŸ˜ðŸ¤£
4 episodes in and it's officially Jeng with anyone or any thing that isn't Pat for me! #Justice4Jeng
Jeng x conference table Jeng x Prem Jeng x badminton racket Jeng x shaky cameraman Jeng x vacuum cleaner Jeng x the peachy nail polish Jeng x ridiculously oversized bowtie Jeng x dance queen, Chot Jeng x product placement snack Jeng x San (Tae)
I dropped this fairly early on but now that it's finished airing I was circling back to maybe give it another shot as a binge watch. These comments are far less enthusiastic than I expected though lol
This series has quickly filled the void left by 'Top Form' for me. Story isn't anything especially new or exciting (and I could so do without the cringe product placement of that ONE powder ðŸ˜) but the chemistry between the two couples is... insane? Like who are these guys and where have they been hiding because I've never seen any of them before! And I almost NEVER care about side pairings - unless I'm actively preferring them to the mains - yet here I am equally invested. The show + chemistry is just THAT good!
I thought this guy did all the heavy lifting in his last "pairing" so I'm glad he's been booked and busy since that ended because he's def got the looks and talent.
Paytai reached for the same red blindfold that was seen over Ramil's eyes in the pilot trailer and then again in the official series trailer, so I'm guessing the scene got cut ðŸ˜
