forest song

[and a psychotherapist or a strong hug in which I could cry].
and "distraction", of course.

I also thought about that.
but it's still kind of... sad that the series is over.

I hate February for personal reasons.
And every year something is added that makes me do it more. Last year it was JitD (I will never be able to describe how much I love modu, for the plot, the love line, the secondary characters; zhoudu is my comfort, lwz is a reference guy for me, I'm not apologizing).
This year it's this. I still can't seem to get past the first chapters of the novel, but you know, Chinese bromance based on danmei novels has its own charm.

As far as I understand, someone has uploaded all the episodes of the show, but the fact is that they start something and then stop broadcasting. It's not even funny anymore.

I really love OnlyOneOf. i really tried to watch it a few times, but... it was too much even for me. so i couldn't and i'm a little bit ashamed of it.
The plot is trite, but you don't always need a complicated story to enjoy something, right? but as much as there is "chemistry" between them in mv, they are so "wooden" in this "masterpiece", so... I had to give up (and I don't really like to give up on something once I start it, it has to be really bad for my taste for me to do that).

An adaptation of Mama Priest's novel without the bromance...
I still can't believe it... is this really not a dream?


(actually i kind of love the adaptations of her works for the way they showed love without kissing. but that doesn't stop me from being excited about the release of a real mlm drama based on a danmei novel)

Instead of saying that the series is just not their cup of tea, people will rather say that it's bad and will pick on random things. It's sad, but it will happen all the time and everywhere.

I'm sure there are many more things I'd like to say, but I forgot while formulating my thoughts... but it all comes down to one thing - The Sign is a kind of masterpiece for me, I'm grateful that I can watch it now, that I can enjoy the story and the interaction of the couple, which is the type that attracts me to fictional stories.

And.. I'm absolutely in love with the PhayaTharn interaction.
I'm really happy that this story doesn't revolve around the main couple only. And I like how they show us their affection for each other. It's quite meaningful to me because it's not just words.
And..
The way they copy each other, the fights (the first one was filled with so much sexual tension that even I, who doesn't care much for sex in the story, thought "I know a better way for you guys to spend your time", and the subsequent incidents with faces filled with pain at the realization of what they had done), with Phaya's weird pickup lines, with Tharn who is afraid but can sometimes let himself be himself, with the impulsiveness of both of them, which is different because of their characters but present in both of them. And with all the tenderness they show each other when they're not being silly. God. Whether it was in a dream/fantasy, they were as tender to each other as possible. And when they showed us the scene of their real interaction... I'm sorry, but I will never be the same as I was before watching that scene. And envy started to play in me again, "I want to do that too...."
Perhaps this scene was shown too quickly after the heartfelt conversation between these two lovers.
But as an impulsive impulse, which had already happened before... everything could have developed in this way. I wouldn't be surprised if Tharn behaved strangely after that. In fact, I'd be more surprised if he accepts what happened between them.
And... I'm a fan of beautiful, aesthetic NCs, if they exist. You know... when you watch them, you want to screen-save everything because it's beautiful.... Most of all, I was afraid that this scene between PhayaTharn would be filled with some... heavy things that don't suit my tastes. And how excited I was when they actually showed it to us. It wasn't vulgar, it wasn't wild. It was a combination of two people in love who want each other. And... gods... when I watch this scene, I really believe that these characters are in love, that they are not only driven by lust. And yes, it was after a frank conversation between them that this could happen (from my point of view of their characters), because the more reserved Tharn needs an impulse, and he had one.

Episode 7... so aesthetically pleasing and depressing. With a mountain of sugar poured into it at the end. And I loved it.
I really like these cases that they have to investigate, they raise important topics, show it from different angles.
On a sad note, I missed the friendly interaction.
On the bright side. Phaya and Tharn finally talked. This would have been enough for me to be happy... but... I will consider the NC scene a birthday present)
So to the main couple... Tharn still doesn't see/doesn't want to notice Doc's antics. Can I personally blame him for that? No. I know what it's like to turn a blind eye to the flaws in a show I like, and I know what it's like to ignore some things of people close to me. And yes, I feel bad about some of his behavior, but... I love him so much, I'm sorry. Phaya is again falling for Doc's provocations, but he's generally hot and impulsive, so I can't blame him for that either, because again, I understand that perfectly.
And.. I can even understand the doc. I like to draw parallels between my favorite stories in order to understand myself better, so...
One of my favorite characters is very similar to him, with the only difference being that he only said he would do something to those who were with his lover, but he did nothing, he could only watch from the outside. I wondered if I would have treated the doc differently if he was Tharn's love interest, and my answer was no, given his attempts to harm someone important to his lover. I mean... love is such a thing... you can't force someone to love you back. And you either become obsessed with the desire to get the person you love, or... you do everything possible to make the person you love happy even without you. Or you just disappear from that person's life (my option). It's a bit of a departure from the main couple, but he plays an important role in what happens specifically between PhayaTharn.

Wow, I'm falling in love with this series more and more with every episode. It's art, even with its flaws. So I still really want more and more people to watch this story. Although at the same time I'm afraid of more dissatisfied viewers.
I see the haste of some events, sometimes confusion, illogic, even. But it doesn't really affect my impression of the series. Like... I would like this story to have more episodes, to have more time for some events, to have some better explanations, but at the same time I really like it in the form in which we see it now.
I think if there were more episodes than there are now, people would still be bored. So... it's all about tastes)
Perhaps the authors really took on too much, in terms of plot points and how to show it all in a fairly short number of episodes. Maybe they chose a "special" way of storytelling.
And yes, what I not only like, but admire, may not be liked by other people, sometimes even for the reasons I may like the story. And that's okay. We all have different tastes. I don't know why, but I feel the need to emphasize that some of the opinions I express are my own.

Well, the reason why I called it an "attempt" and was glad that now the desire to speak out is not so frequent... is that I can forget some sometimes important things that I wanted to say, or my thoughts switch from one to another very quickly, sometimes so much so that I forget that I didn't point out something I was thinking about, I often repeat myself... so it's very confusing.

Yes! The fact that Tarn literally doesn't want to listen to anyone and only does what he thinks is right is very human. From my own experience, I can also add that when many people keep telling you things, even if they are correct, you may want to do the opposite. Perhaps if I had studied well, I could have used some psychological explanation here, but it is what it is.

Personally, I can believe that the fear of losing a loved one can cause quite stupid behavior.
Fear makes people irrational.

And not only Tharn's internal struggle plays an important role, but also his relationship with the doctor (I can't remember his name, although his name was repeated, but I remember that Phaya called him Slowmotion... 😭) No matter how much I like a person, if they just said something unpleasant about any person close to me, it could have already put an end to our relationship. And in the episode, Phaya hit the doc in front of Tharn. And before that, he had an outburst of aggression during dinner with him. The doctor successfully exploits Phaya's weaknesses to make him look bad. And we have already been shown that the doc is not the last person around Tharn (I would even say that he is one of the few people close to him). Only Phaya and the viewers know how "crazy" he is in his desire to own Tharn. Tharn is still "happy" in his ignorance. But. "rose-colored glasses always break inwards"

The backstory of KhemThongtai made me laugh hysterically (given that I am currently sick and laughter becomes a coughing catalyst, it sounded scary...). My younger brother even came up to me and asked if I needed to get a sedative...

Well, I can't blame this kid (although I want to give him a good slap, I don't think it would help him, but the desire slipped away...).
My attitude to characters is based on my experience (I guess it's logical), so I can understand this behavior of Tharn, illogical from the outside, but it seems logical to him.
Still, I really like this character, even when he behaves so stupidly (maybe because of this I like him even more, I feel some kinship with him and with Phaya in moments of aggression). And I am patiently waiting for the whole truth to come out and for him to realize how wrong he was. It must be painful, but until he is convinced of what is really happening, he will not listen to anyone at all.

As far as I remember, the abbot said that Tharn and Phaya should stick together and trust each other. after a while he added that Phaya and the doctor should stay away from each other. for me, it makes sense that Tharn should also stay away from the doctor (you know, the words about their lives being connected, someone having to protect someone even at the cost of their life and all that...)
But it seems logical to me as a viewer. Tharn as a character has a dilemma: a choice between his feelings, which make him want to avoid Phaya so as not to put him in danger, and visions, which make him unable to stay away from Phaya. There's a doc he's known for a long time, and there's a guy (with aggression issues) he wants to keep safe by staying away from him.

Why did I start writing all this?
To say that both Tharn and Phaya... I can't blame them for anything... and they make me want to comfort them somehow (that's not to say that I don't want Tharn to suffer a little emotionally after the blow like Phaya did in the last episode).
And I felt from the very beginning of watching that this is not the type of series where only the story of the main characters will come first. And even more so, that everything will be cute and amorous.
The part of me that's here for the romance is a little upset. But damn, the overall story is really interesting, how the past and present are connected, how everything is gradually revealed to the viewers and the characters.

This is an attempt to express my emotions about a certain part of today's episode. I can't sleep if I don't do this, this series has too much influence on me. I'm grateful that the desire to speak out is very rare.

In short, The Sign is a treasure for me, who grew up on fairy tales, fantasy, detective stories and mythology of different countries.

And again, which is different from other stories... I don't want to discuss a character that I didn't like at first glance. I'm very jealous of characters in a couple (I've never been more jealous of my partners than characters who have a couple and I like that couple). So I have a slight antipathy towards a certain person. But. At the same time, I am very interested in what role he will play in the general plot, how he will be shown in general. There are many ways to reveal this character. So I'm anticipating the next episodes and how the story will unfold.

Overall, I wanted to say that this story isn't the best with its flaws, but it's still great. But my wording and the translator decided otherwise, I won't argue) because it already has meaning for me, my "affection" has already switched to it to a greater extent. So I dare to turn a blind eye to some illogical or other things (but that doesn't mean they don't exist)

If I say that I had to freeze my ass off to watch a new episode on the day it was released, does that show my love for the story or that I'm not a very smart person?

Okay, I really do love this story. Love at first sight (I feel like I'm repeating myself). Again, without any expectations, lured by the memory of reincarnation (yes, I am very influenced by tiktok). But unlike the other story, which I started a little earlier and was ready to join the conversations about it... I fell for the story, not the atypicality of the couple. So my perception, as well as my feelings while watching, are different.
This time, I have no desire to compare my thoughts with the thoughts of others, no desire to make sure that the plot in this drama is good. If with another drama I calmed down a bit after a while and after a few episodes I could "survive" the breaks between watching, then here I am more emotional with each episode.
If for another drama I read the novel to clarify some things, here, in addition to looking for a few general spoilers of the source material, I just want to enjoy what is happening. I know I'm going to suffer, stories that I love very much usually make me shed a lot of tears, and with my emotional nature it's not hard.

So...
I'm very glad that the story here revolves not only around the main couple. I like the way several storylines are combined, I'm weak for stories with reincarnation (and traveling between worlds), weak for investigations, so it was my cup of tea from the very beginning.
Friendship, which is shown here, has a special place in my heart. Friendship is important! I can't explain it, but it makes me feel so warm when I see these five interacting.
The main couple. Phaya and Tharn... thanks for the emotional roller coaster) and... I love couples who make me think "I don't want to be in the shoes of either of them, I want them both". Each of them is an interesting character on their own, but in a couple it's... incredible. Maybe it's not healthy, I wouldn't want that kind of relationship, but it's dynamic, it's interesting to watch them grow closer and change.

Hell, I watched each episode several times because I might not have noticed some details the first time. But all I can say is that this story is the most wonderful one, not without some flaws, but it's very wonderful, so watch The Sign and enjoy life.

I saw the trailer(?) with Pavel and Nut... and I'm glad they chose Pooh to play Charlie. Otherwise, I would have passed on this story... hell, it lured me in with this cute chaotic boy.

Okay, I'm just a little devastated.
If I had watched the series after it was broadcast, and not as it is now, one episode a week, this would not have happened. Because there wouldn't be a long break between hard episodes for me, I would immediately get a small dose of sweet moments. Not another pause and thoughts of "what happens next?"
But it's also hard to wait for the full series without watching the episodes that are coming out, with my curiosity.
