based on this novel: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/professional-body-double/
I'm loving the adaptations of Chinese novels because China definitely writes the best BL novels and Thailand has the best BL productions (in my opinion ofc). The future is looking real bright!!
Okay.. I already like Up, but he is paired with Poom.. This guy is as handsome as a God. Sign me up. This might actually be too much charisma for one screen. Hahahah. I think Up is definitely the actor while Poom is the stunt double. That suits them.
How is this a twist? I knew it was his father the whole time.
I don't know if I knew it the first episode, but I definitely knew it before this episode. In the flashback scene when Zee was joining the team, I feel like First called the Coach father. You know "Paw" in Thai. And I swear there were some other hints as well. Maybe that's why this episode feels so boring to me. Nothing new happened.
As the "middle-school" actor looks at least 17, this did not translate well at all. A 30 y-o cannot have a 17…
I agree with you. I mean, I really enjoyed the show, but what you described is totally not what I watched. It detracts from the original intention, 100%. However someone like me who didn't know the original story, this was really enjoyable as a stand-alone. The backstory of the angel is definitely my favorite part of the series.
What is going on with this show. First, their mother sucks. Lmao. Next.. How come Sprite doesn't know basic information like the Coach is First's father? Even if he's not close to his brother, shouldn't have Salmon or his mom told him? Last.. What do you mean Zee you wanna be Sprite?! WHAT 😭😭😭😭
This is not a BL. Harada, the author of this work, is a BL manga artist whose works are decidedly BL (and intense),…
As the "middle-school" actor looks at least 17, this did not translate well at all. A 30 y-o cannot have a 17 y-o child unless they had a baby VERY young. So it seems the live adaptation wanted to blur the line between the original intention and a BL because to me this was a BL, and it's hard to see it otherwise.
The first episode is a lot better than I thought. It's like I'm getting a true Baker Boys BL without the kidnapping plot. Lol. Atom is a favorite for me, and I agree that Peach has an infectious personality.
I'm really liking that they are making shorter BLs because I've watched too many that drag on. It shows that people are actually starting to think, "Do I have enough material to make 12 episodes?" So much better than automatically making 12 episodes because that's the standard!!!
This reminds me of the Kevin Hart movie Upside where he takes care of a quadriplegic guy. I love that movie, so…
It turns out it's the remake of a French movie.. Hmm. Please someone else give me more details of this "genre" and other connections if you know. Thank you.
This reminds me of the Kevin Hart movie Upside where he takes care of a quadriplegic guy. I love that movie, so this to me is just a re-hash of that movie. But the guy is blind and it's romantic.
Is this plot done before because these are the only two times I've seen it? The plot being: rugged/poor person with a life going downhill is hired to take care of a rich person with a disability. They don't look down on them and treat them as an equal.. then they become best friends/lovers? Because, it seems like a fairly complicated plot, but I wouldn't be surprised if this has been done many times.
Zee seems insufferable. I guess he's supposed to be the evil twin or something. He's definitely anti-social, and I worry for Sprite when he fully recovers because he's acting like he's gonna beat him up. Sprite's lukcy he can't move. Dang
Does it get more interesting after ep 1? I'm struggling to watch more.
It is a slow moving story, but I think the story is touching. It explores dark feelings that I won't state explicitly because spoilers. ..And don't you wanna know where the angel came from? Lol. In my opinion the story is very expansive. Worth it for me. But if you don't like Japanese slow-paced stuff, skip it.
Learning why the angel killed himself.. Wow. I feel so bad for everyone involved as the kids are so young. When our emotions are too intense, it's easy to express them in twisted ways. I'm guilty of this too.
I felt the way their friends acted upsetting while too close to the real world. When one friend bullies the other, we turn our backs on the friend being bullied especially if the bully is our "favorite friend." Whenever rumors float around, we turn our backs on those everyone think is guilty. Partially because we believe it and partially because we don't want to be outcasts. I find this way of acting so disgusting, and it's why I was a total loner in high school. I hated the social aspect of high school, but I would probably choose to be a loner if I had to do it again.
Being a teenager is so hard. All of our emotions feel like do or die. The bully's personality is completely outward. He projects everything he feels on other people. The angel keeps all of his feelings inwards. You can see at the beginning of the episode it was foreshadowing when the angel said their personalities wouldn't get along. Honestly, when these two get older and can work on themselves, good communication solves everything. But angsty teenagers feeling the pressure of the world.. yeah, it is so easy for this to go wrong!!
The angel really didn't deserve that treatment. He has a sensitive personality, and he needs to be treated with care, compassion, etc. The bully loved him for sure, but he failed tremendously. I feel so bad when I see two people who could be happy together but it turns out like this...
Very beautiful episode. I loved it. I love shows that touch on suicide because suicide and suicidal thoughts are very prominent problems in today's world. I think 1/2 of the population of the developed world at least wants to all kill themselves.. God help us all as life is suffering. In order to get through all this, we rely on other people and hurt people. It is very hard to live a life where we help more than hurt people... I could go on forever at this topic.
This remains to me one of my favorite pieces of work of any genre to come out of any country ever. I just love this show to bits and pieces. It is a light in my life.
I'm really not sure where this show is going.
