NAH im agree, I stopped at ep3 bcs almost all of the casts, their acting is still lacking & stiff. And there's…
You become a DMD actor and do better then. They're new. Give them a little grace. They'll grow with more experience and do better. Everyone's gotta start somewhere so there's no need to be rude. There's a right way and a wrong way to leave criticism or your opinion on why you did not like something. Your comments are awkward and cringe π³π€¨
yeah all this combined with the stiff acting from thomas made it hard to watch. the only reason i managed to finish…
Maybe because you keep putting down the show? Not everyone is going to agree and like the same things, especially regarding TV shows and how they tell their stories. But you don't have to keep coming here and talking about how awful and cringey it is. We get it. You didn't like it. Move on and stop spreading negativity. That goes for everyone else who didn't like it. You're ruining the mood for everyone who did like it. There are times where the show was very cringe and moments where the acting was stiff for various actors. But most of them are very new to the industry, so when Negative Nellies keep pointing out and laughing at their flaws you come off as basic, bitchy bullies.
To the chickens complaining about episode 7 NC scene being too short. Please rest and stop nagging, Itβs pathetic…
Although I can see where you're come from in a lot of what you said, to be fair, TBNW did hype of their official first time since their first meeting. Me Mind knows that BossNoeul is a very popular, electrifying pair who are really good a performing realistically looking NCs scenes.
Ever since Cir and Phu's first kiss, actually, ever since Phu fell on Cir in Ep.2 while checking his head wound, the production team has been emphasizing their amazing chemistry, and building up to their NC scenes little by little, breadcrumb by breadcrumb. They were being strategic, using these breadcrumbs as a sort of foreplay for the audience because they Know BossNoeul always delivers for their love scenes.
People do appreciate their acting talent, because the have clearly matured and grown as young men. But you can't blame people for being disappointed at being hyped up for something that didn't deliver. Compared to their other NCs, there seems to be a general consensus that their first time be just as long because people may have expected slow-rythym intimacy or lovemaking.
Phu was sad, but also touched by Cir's clear devotion and commitment to him so they finally gave in to each other's desire for one another but the scene came off as rushed as means to get to the final 10 minutes of the episode. People felt cheated. It also doesn't help that BossNoeul also hyped up the scene in interviews.
In hindsight, people aren't mad at BossNoeul because they're so horny and angry that they didn't deliver. The fans are well aware they aren't pornstars. They know the love scenes are simulated, many of them know they are just acting. But, they're mad at the editors for making it too short to compensate for the final 10 mins of the show at the the NC Scene's expense.
The facts are that Boss and Noeul are hot. Boss and Noeul know they are hot and desired, and they know what they signed up for when they agreed to film and act in these shows. They have off the chart chemistry and perform excellent NCs, again, as they are well aware of, and it's also what they're known for. So of course majority of they're audience are excited to see them figuratively hit the sheets and then be upset when they don't get what they expected. People have a right to be slightly disappointed.
But constantly whining about it is Overkill. Nevertheless, their first time by no means was poorly shot or acted. It was actually very well done overall, but it could have been edited a bit better if they absolutely had to shorten it for the box set.
Actually in the book she calls Phu. They have a conversation while Cir is talking in front of Phu's dad. So Phu…
Well that's the art of storytelling. There's always going to be a gamble regarding telling your stories to a mass audience and not everyone is going to like what you have to say. It's impossible to please everyone, so you have to be careful when finding a balance between including what is necessary to the plot and what isn't, as well as, how much "screentime" those scenes take up. Because it was the anniversary of Phu's dad's death, they definitely should have included another β€οΈ to β€οΈ phone call with his mother. It could have been quick, or they could have shown us the end of their convey with them exchanging I love yous. Anything to show the audience that the mom was thinking about Phu on such a sad day. I definitely think Phu's moms' inclusion in the episode was important, but again, other people are so opinionated and misguided regarding what is necessary and what isn't to the plot. Little details matter, as they add to character motivations and development. If people don't understand that from.a storytelling perspective, then that's their problem.
what do you mean? the fingers in the mouth is a soft kink, a display of dominance. Just because you don't get…
Didn't sound like it to me. That's why I responded to you. You should clarify, add specifics and details by what you mean next time as it did sound like you were kink shaming by saying the fingers in the mouth was bizarre or whatever. Although you are right. I did come off as aggressive, so I apologize. No one's hurt me. I just like defending others who I feel are being judged. You have your opinions and I have mine. Nevertheless, again, I am sorry for coming off as aggressive, but not for what I said.
oh wow i didn't know that! Boss would slay in that character omg what a bummer
Oh, ok my mistake regarding Boss and Santa's casting. Ya, it's a missed opportunity for sure. I'm sad about it, and I haven't watched any of the trailers because I don't wanna set my expectations too high for the actual series' run. I also agree about axing the sound effects. A show like this deserves and and goes hand in hand with more serious, mature aesthetic tones, themes, OST, and storytelling. Let's hope π¬
Actually in the book she calls Phu. They have a conversation while Cir is talking in front of Phu's dad. So Phu…
I get what you mean about trauma being a theme in A LOT of her works. Like, why does everything always have to be so dark, twisted, sad and depressing with your characters, then use love and sex to rehabilitate them, therefore using the whole "love concurs all" trope? It's formulaic and repetitive, but still entertaining enough. I agree that TBNW is very good, although I'm too afraid to read her books given how dark the content probably is. I'm not one to be squeamish, but something tells me the woman's got one depraved mind I don't wanna be exposed to π«£π³π₯²
Actually in the book she calls Phu. They have a conversation while Cir is talking in front of Phu's dad. So Phu…
I hope so, that's good to know because in the show, by deliberately cutting out these scenes - if they exist - they are making her look pretty sh*tty π«€. Thanks for the info. That makes me feel a bit better about the situation and Phu's support group other than Cirrus.
I WILL EXPLAIN ITββββI watch American movies and series so I enjoy series like this. It's not that complicated…
This is what I've been saying this whole time! Glad we think alike. Since EP. 5, I saw A LOT of people taking Cir's "confession" at face value and getting ready to give up on the show WAY TOO EASILY. We are only halfway through, and people really believed for a second there, that variant Phu and Cir's romance was only in his head. I knew he could see parallel worlds, but wasn't privy/ aware of it ( Confession=red herring). Afterall, like you said, there were so many hints that told us the parallel world existed and wasn't a figment of Cir's imagination or a dream he had whilst in a coma.
There were definitely supernatural/fantasy elements at play multiple times throughout the show and Phu was shown to also be connected to Cir and the parallel world through his dreams as shown in EP.1. Plus, there's Jin and his power, and if Jin can read minds ( which still isn't explained how that's possible or why he can do that), why can't Cirrus travel to, or see parallel worlds? Although, it seems like he body swaps with different Cirruses so that's still a big ?.
I am Western, therefore I watch a lot of western shows, so maybe that's why it was also easier for me to understand what was happening, I don't know. But make no mistake, this show is a whirlwind of mystery, and I did have my share of getting confused a lot along the way of figuring out what the hell was going on.
Nevertheless, The Boy Next World is not over yet, so we'll see what's left to explore and uncover π€π over the upcoming weeks. I'm just excited about being right for once because I literally never am! ππ
Thorn said that everyone knows Phu wants to be alone that day and he doesnβt want to talk to anybody, so my…
I agree with you also. She bothered me a lot during her phone call with Phu in EP. 4 When Phu was sick. When Phu was clearly missing her, and all excited to finally see her again in person and eat her food, and she said she wasn't ready to return, he was obviously upset and on verge of tears. But once again, even sick and feeling let down, he put on a brave face and told her it was ok and she just easily accepted it and hung up. Phu clearly wasn't ok! His voice was trembling and he was going to cry. Seconds after the call ended he did! God, she actually does suck. Not as bad as Cir's mom of course, but still. None of the moms in this show is winning the "Mother of the Year" Award π
Thorn said that everyone knows Phu wants to be alone that day and he doesnβt want to talk to anybody, so my…
Yes, I remember Thorn saying that, but still. You'd think his mother would be exempt from that "unspoken" rule because her son is hurting and always will be just as she is, since you know, he did lose his father whom he clearly loved very much. Thorn didn't seem to care about the rule, and went to Phu's old house anyway to make sure he was alright. But Phu's own mother couldn't call her son? It's bad enough she practically abandoned him in Thailand when he was in junior high, but to not even speak to your grieving son who always puts on a strong front because you're too weak to see through you're own pain to acknowledge his? She could have at least video chatted with Phu. A mere phone call isn't enough.
In Ep. 7, I just realized it's Phus' father's death day and all, but yet, he didn't speak to his mother? Did they address that and I missed it? Or did they not bother talking to each other on this severely significant and impactful day that left both of them emotionally scarred? I understand the mom is hurting too and needs to be away, but so far from what we've seen, she comes off as kind of neglectful.
I ruined this series for myself by reading the book as soon as it was announced, never again!! Itβs a shame…
what do you mean? the fingers in the mouth is a soft kink, a display of dominance. Just because you don't get it, or it's not your thing doesn't make it bizarre. A LOT of people do it during s*x. Phu and Cir clearly like it a little rough and the fingers in the mouth show that. That's pretty vanilla all things considered. But if that's bizarre to you then π€·πΏ
BossNoeul said the actual scene was longer but bcs it's too intense the team chose to cutted it & put it in the…
I agree! After the last two NC scenes, they were building up to their official first time, and this is all we get? It was good, but I'm not gonna lie, I was expecting greatness β€οΈβπ₯π₯β€οΈβπ₯. It was too short, and I was expecting more passion, sensuality, and lovemaking. Considering it was their first time, it looked like they had sex only because Phu was sad and needed comfort from his boyfriend, which is true, but the scene gave off vibes that they've "been together" countless times already and didn't need to take their time and ease into it. But who knows? Maybe hard, fast and a little rough is how they like it from what we've seen so far π€. However, MeMind or whoever's, excuse for not including the full scene, or for shortening it, is a copout. The editing and pacing work of this scene proves that they saw an opportunity to make more money from us via putting the full scene in the boxset, and unfortunately, they'll succeed ππππΏ They gave us the Cut/ severely watered down version of the most anticipated scenes of this show in an already supposedly uncut version, just so we'd pay more for the box set? GREED!
In my opinion, the actor who plays Nord, gives a performance that some viewers might find underwhelming. While…
Did we watch the same show? No one makes facial expressions and cries like Bas, except for Earth. But during the emotional scenes, Bas was breathtaking and looked so sincere, especially in episode 15, during his reunion with Johan (Maxky). Bas's comedic performance, body language, and laidback acting were very relatable to many audience members and helped them resonate with his take and portrayal of North's personality. I think Bas did an excellent job. He is one of the rare actors in the industry who seems to have a lot of range regarding his acting and I can't wait to see more from him. That's not me being biased, I'm just stating facts. I really do not understand where you are coming from, but I guess I don't need to.
