I'm really glad you said something. . .otherwise I would have gone for weeks yet and not realized this isn't a New project. ๐จ
I think I've clicked so many times on the '12%' page that I've eventually got these two shows tangled up just enough to make that mistake. ๐ Now I'm trying to recall if I read a post early in the project because of the similar locations, the camera work and OST, or something else.
Either way, I was 100% convinced this was created in the same vein as 'UWMA' and '12%' and 'Star and Sky'. ๐ฌ
Thanks for letting me know. ๐ I looked back in the cast & crew offerings, and I was like, "New. . .where are you. . .I thought you were here?" It does show how well Nipitpon is doing behind the camera if those comparisons can be made. . .now I feel bad that I didn't give him credit where it was due.
I'll go back and change where I mentioned New while it's still a recent post. ๐จ
I do feel better though, that New doesn't have a 4th or 5th project to do this year. I had the impression, between 'Star and Sky', '12%', and Between Us' that New hadn't gotten any sleep since February because he had all of these shows in production. ๐ด
I got too confident with the impression that we were going to see two or three more episodes of high school before the university (we got 10 Episodes worth over there). I was actually shocked to be only in Episode #3 and see the frightful '3 Years Later' banner across the screen. ๐ฆ
At first, I was disappointed that we went the whole stretch waiting for the next words from Name, that Gun somehow dodged Golf for all of this time to hide behind the computer monitor, and that most of the progress we made in this show was to see the website come back up to post the college exam approvals. ๐
Now I'm trying to make a guess at what Nipitpon has planned for us to see coming up, be it #5, #8 or #11. Wow. ๐ณ I just realized that we are only a quarter of the way through this series. . . What I expected to see in Episode #3 will have to wait until then.
I do like that no matter what Gun does to ditch and avoid Golf, fate has intervened to put them back within shouting distance of each other. Architecture, it is. . .โช Aside from the impending storyline to come, I have no idea why Gun did not want to meet up even just once in all of this time. ๐
I also was gritting my teeth that Em got on the bus, found a seat, and didn't get back out to give Name a hug before the trip. ๐จ That was a perfect 'hug moment' right there. ๐ซ
But I probably would have cried harder. . . 'My Only 12%' #9 almost killed me with that hug scene. ๐ญ
Nine episodes is a long time for whatever is coming up in the story. All of my guesses have been wrong so far. . .except for Nan and that wig again. ๐ง๐ฝโโ๏ธ
I did get out of it a great Halloween costume idea. . .๐ A Dr, Pepper t-shirt, a dark wig, and a drink in my hand. . .๐
Please post spoilers for the final episodes if you have them (but behind the "spoiler" tag). I need to know if…
I have unconfirmed viewer feedback that :
Snow White is the one who was buying all of the company stock to do a board takeover and take the "reins". ๐ฆ
The bounty hunters got a new lead on Kim and Phayu and headed east. . .but now they are stuck in Laos and lost without their passports. ๐ฅท๐ฅท๐ฅท๐ฏ
Sun actually doesn't have a constrictive heart condition. . .he just likes the apples and the added attention. ๐
It turns out that it was Kim who died in the helicopter crash. The other Kim, faking amnesia to make it easier, is actually Rain in a body suit. ๐คต๐ฝโโ๏ธ Now he has to explain the love scenes to Sun. . .
I haven't actually seen the show yet, so I'll have to see for myself. ๐
I don't know if anyone feels the same... But I have never ever felt frustrated by someone talking slowly as much…
As long as they don't get as carried away as 'Bite Me'. ๐ That would set the bar even lower. ๐งโโ๏ธ
I usually love lingering dialogue if it is set up right. . .and even I was going for the 1.5X button when parts of 'Bite Me' was airing. ๐ฅฑ They threw in several :45 second scenes of clouds in the sky as if that wasn't enough. ๐ฌ๏ธโ ๐ฅ๏ธ
In this case, if the scene is dragging too much. . .maybe they'll cut away back to the bodyguards for a few minutes. ๐
This series probably started with a perfect script and a great storyline before management got a hold of it. ๐ฅ…
I'm counting down the two weeks to 'Between Us'. ๐
I saw the preview teasers about a year ago, and I got the impression that a lot of the Fluke sightings were going to be "Team getting a phone call from Pharm", and things like that. โ๏ธ I'm hoping to see an airing date for '609 Bedtime' by the end of the year. ๐
I'm glad you mentioned the News/Studio angle of this whole mess here. ๐ฃ
I changed my own series approval rating from 6.5 to 8.5, just because they did at one time have perfect material. . .and the scissors came out to trim everything once the offices looked at it. ๐บ
It would have been nice to see the storyboards for the original. . .๐
If Perth's contract is done and he's moved on to to a better deal. . .does that mean this series is on the back burner in the same way 'My Engineer 2' is? ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
This whole setup needs a lot of work, but I'm going to keep watching to see what happens. I literally can't guess what they are going to throw at us next, so it's almost like I can't look away from the scene. ๐
I would have been a lot more enthused about the coming episodes if it hadn't been hyped up so much differently in the teaser trailer a month ago. ๐ I still like most of it, though. ๐
I thought I'd be seeing something very similar to KinnPorsche. . .and so far, this is more along the lines of 'TharnType' meets 'Bad Buddy'. ๐ As long as it doesn't regress into a millionaire's version of 'That's My Candy', I'm going to keep watching. ๐คช
So far, we have deodorant and shampoo crossed off of the list. My next guess is 'fell on a shot glass in the bar". ๐ฅ
This series probably started with a perfect script and a great storyline before management got a hold of it. ๐ฅ…
I can't imagine what it was like for News to start with 100% and end up working with 55% by the time it went into production. ๐ซ Money vs Art, I guess. ๐
I hope we see a lot more roles for Ohm & Fluke. ๐จ๐ปโโค๏ธโ๐โ๐จ๐ป We already know they are top-notch actors and can deliver anything flawlessly, so if we can just get the studios to cooperate, we'll have something on the horizon besides 'Between Us' and '609 Bedtime Story'.
Ohm must have seen what all of the original concepts were like for this series before it started, so it must have been agonizing for Ohm and Fluke to see the fine details picked apart like six ravens on a dead raccoon when it got to be time to start production. ๐ฆ ๐ฆ ๐ฆซ๐ฆ
Can you just picture what UWMA would have been like if they decided, "Let's cut the beach scene", or "Let's cut the scenes with Dean's Grandmother", or "Let's just do one or two scenes to introduce Korn & Intouch and leave it at that"? ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ
Or. . .better yet, to have UWMA done by Motive Village. . .๐ซ
Edit: (Update) I feel really bad because I'm just a fan and I'm also trying to figure out what's happening.๐ตโ๐ซ…
This series probably started with a perfect script and a great storyline before management got a hold of it. ๐ฅ
The highlighter likely came out in the first meeting, and they were like: ๐๏ธ Nope. ๐ ๐๏ธ Nope. ๐จ๐ปโโค๏ธโ๐โ๐จ๐ป ๐๏ธ Nope. ๐ป ๐๏ธ Nope. ๐ฅ ๐๏ธ
. . .which surprises me if it was a money issue, because they left in all of the bling, the houses, locations and the cars.
Much like their ridiculous storylines is their production schedule. Episode 17 is hiding in a barn somewhere and…
"and the only thing heโs wearing is that damn red shoe". ๐ This. . .๐
Most bonus features usually include Easter Eggs. We get Red Apples. ๐๐๐๐
The horse is the key, though. . .๐ฆ
If you feed the half-starved white horse either 17, 18, or 19 red apples, you unlock the 'Secret Stable Room' and find Rain. ๐๏ธ ๐๐๐๐ ๐งโโ๏ธ
So far, we don't know if it's 17, 18 or 19 apples because the rules keep changing. ๐
You must fight off three totally lost bounty hunters to access the stable, though. ๐ฅท๐ฅท๐ฅท Don't use regular weapons to fight them. โ๏ธ
Use the cello and it defeats them quicker. ๐ป To get the cello. . .you will need to acquire at least 8 plastic white plants. ๐ชด
I'm still trying to ascertain whether today's streaming is a #17 + a 'Special', or two regular episodes back-to-back on different days this week, or if #18 is next Sunday. ๐
I looked in four different sources. . .and got four different answers. . .๐
Throw that in, I guess, with all of the brilliant logistics that this show has been handled with in the last 6 weeks. ๐
I've decided unless it end with Rain being chained up in the hidden room in the barn as a zombie who then breaks…
Grrrrr. . .I'll bet your right. ๐ฃ
I was thinking for a while that it was the horse all along. . .but I got fooled by the 'Ice Queen CEO' as a smoke screen. ๐ดโโ ๏ธ โ๏ธ ๐ฆ โ๏ธ ๐ดโโ ๏ธ
not sure if it's just me but someone HAS to call Cake out for the 'toxicity' - he's just straight up being possessive…
This is probably a lot like the 'Go wake up Cake scenes", where Cake was just so used to being the center of attention and devotion that he never once had to process hurt or longing or jealousy until the plane left for the US. ๐ด
I think Cake has known his feelings for Eiw since #8 (and maybe even #3), but with everything different now, he has to change his priorities and approach. . .or he's going to end up in a competition for Eiw, and going after Tal with a fire extinguisher. ๐ฅ๐ก๐ฅ ๐งฏ๐ค
I have faith in New and Afterday for getting us to where we want to be by Episode #13, but I do hope Cake does get called out a little bit to curb his possessiveness and replace it with sleepovers and donuts. ๐๏ธ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ
I LOVE how grown up Eiw is literally just Cooheart
I was thinking that, too, through #10 & #11. ๐
I'm hoping that New was filming these scenes and told Earth, "Just be yourself. . .and 4 minutes later we'll cut and print". ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ
This was as refreshing to see as the story itself. โค๏ธ
Earth needed at least one new role where they didn't put him in a Boy Scout uniform, or to keep him from wearing the crop-top shirts. ๐ Maybe the Batman shirt and cut off shorts are waiting for us in #12 or #13. ๐
I tried to make a guess on how this was going to play out from the teaser we saw last week. I was impressed 10X more than what I expected, and I had expected to see a lot. ๐ฆ
I wish Cake and Eiw could have had a serious talk before things boiled over, since it was obvious to everyone except them that there was more going on invested with them than they noticed. I see the sharing of the donut didn't go unnoticed, either. ๐ฉ
While I was paying so much attention to the trials of Jealous Cake, I almost missed the obvious hostility of Jealous Eiw. ๐ฟ I forgot quickly that the reason Eiw told Cake he didn't need to wait for him at the Drama Club anymore. . .was because the girls there were all crazy about Cake and it drove Eiw nuts. ๐
I also briefly tuned out the statement that Eiw made that "Tal wants to date me, but I already told him YOU CAN'T DATE ME". ๐คจ With that playing on his subconscious, I'm still surprised Eiw didn't step up the game five notches as soon as Cake got back to Thailand. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
He seems 50% devoted to Cake and 50% oblivious to the relationship. At least for now. . .I'm sure Episode #12 will pull that rug out.
Those scenes where Eiw told Cake he didn't have to wait late anymore, and where Eiw saw the empty seats in the front row, just about tore me in half. ๐ฌ That was powerful stuff to see in their faces, included when they hurt each other's feelings after the show. This is really, really good acting. . .๐ง I had to hit pause for a minute and walk to the kitchen and back more than a few times. ๐ฅต
I'm already half-deranged over the idea of waiting a whole week for #12, but I'm not sure how any love confession is going to play out. . .because I've been of the mind for a while now that there is a lifetime commitment here, and they just need to share a few more donuts to make that official. ๐
If it's anything like #11 was, I might as well be fully prepared for 35 twists and turns that I wasn't expecting. We still have to deal with Eiw's Mom yet, too. ๐ฅ
We still, as well, haven't seen a reemergence of our friend Sand. . .I kind of thought he'd fit into something 3-4 episodes later, nor have we seen anything new from the Peak-Hom saga.
I was wrong about a lot of my guesses with what was going to transpire here, but in almost every case, I got to see more than I expected. ๐
Almost every 55 seconds in this episode I was almost ready to yell, "Call each other!", "Sit down and talk about all of this", and "Don't walk away until you settle this". Kung and Noey were practically saying it for me, and it still resulted in a baffled Eiw and a shattered Cake. ๐ซ
But. . .they had to accentuate the tables turning from Eiw in the first 4 episodes wondering 'WTF?', to Cake in the past 4 episodes stuck in the same boat. ๐๐ค
Wow. . . the ravages of Jealous Cake. . .๐ฟ This is going to printed on t-shirts this winter. . .๐๐๐ . . .and probably with a picture of Cake and how he looked when Tal & Eiw were talking after the play. ๐คจ
