Episode 4:I don't know what everybody is complaining about. The pacing is not that bad if you watch it at 1.5…
My boy Aek is so innocent. Don't you know when someone is asking you out on a date? That was a date. Aue is so smitten. It's too adorable to watch. I was expecting to see Aue's mother make an appearance. I like how honest Aek is about his feelings. Too many times in series we see huge misunderstandings because characters don't talk things out. He's no pushover.
Prem/Vich is coming along nicely but slowly. Now that Vich has made his presentation what's next for them? And what's happening with Lek and Chompoo or are they not going to be a thing?
We are a 3rd of the way through but there is not much progression. I feel like things are going to pick up in the next ep based on the preview Aue is meeting Aek's mom to ask for his hand in marriage. Either that or to make a case for Aek to enter the chef competition. We'll see. For now the pacng issue is forgivable. I just need the story to move forward. Everything else from the acting to the sexy food shots is pretty good.
Pob is an interesting character - sometimes on these shows angelic figures like him are weak and victims - but…
A double shot of Leon in boxers! Steady development in the Leon/Pob storyline. What more can we ask for?
The snack bag scene did annoy the hell out of me. It was too much. And Fiat wonders why Leon loves to teases him so much. I saw a hint of the fierceness I want to see in Fiat when he told that girl to dream on after bragging about Leo in front of her. I need more than that though.
I have to give the writers and director props for how well the Leon/Pob story is developing but at the same time I have to question why Fiat is regressing. To First's credit he is playing the character he's been given very well.
Really enjoying this series so far. The pacing is just right. Not dragging anywhere and nothing seems rushed either. Great script and acting throughout.
The original short film just premiered on GagaOOLala's officaial YouTube channel ahead of the miniseries premiere September 24. You can watch that here: https://youtu.be/M8YA30z-zM4
First - Hero of the week: Anda. Was anyone else shouting "Do it again! Do it again!"OK. If you want to redeem…
Leon just knows how to get on Fiat's nerves and he's so smug about it. "Even if you get 10 Leos to beat me up I'll take it with a smile" So funny. I love it. I do want to see more fire in Fiat though. From what I hear he was really fierce in TTS2. I feel like he's been having an identity crisis since he started dating Leo. It even affected his intimacy with Leo as he didn't want to appear to easy or sex obsessed so he's always unsure how aggressive to be. Hopefully he finds himself soon. Leo could help him by saying "hey I already know who you are. You don't need to hold back all the time for me. And we are together now so stop feeling guilty all the time for your past ."
Leon and Pob really are gold. I'm enjoying them too much. Let's see what obstacles the writers are going to throw their way.
First, I am not from the US. Second, I am a person of colour. Third, it's clear you don't really understand the issues you claim to be championing. Fourth, If you consider me contradicting your opinions to be bothersome, I'll stop bothering you. Carry on.
that was some straight cut racist slur, I am not being political sensitive but the "dark skin guy" is actually…
I'm sorry you feel attacked. This was not my intention in responding to your comments. As someone who has been subject to racism and colourism since birth I understand the issue all too well. I also understand your desire to bring attention to it in Thai dramas and I commend you for it. However, not every instance of a darker toned actor playing a villain or comedic role is an example of prejudice. The casting for King is clearly not such a case. I only wanted to point this out to you. You trying to make it appear so just for kicks does not help the cause but takes away from the seriousness of it. I hope you can understand my mind a little now and reconsider your position. You've asked me to stop responding to your comments. I'll do my best not to but I make no promises. Good day friend.
that was some straight cut racist slur, I am not being political sensitive but the "dark skin guy" is actually…
"J100 was applauding the casting of someone who wasn't bleached whiter than a Scandinavian albino" 555555 He most certainly was not. He is decrying the casting of the actor in a villain role and trying to highlight it as yet another case of colourism in Thai drama. Baseless, seeing as all previous villains in the series up until now were lighter toned - bleached or not, who knows.
Left up to the commenter this actor, who played his role convincingly, would not have been cast in the part to avoid criticism for typecasting based on color. With this logic it would be inappropriate for the actor who plays King to audition for any villain roles as this would be perpetuating the stigma, unless of course he lightens his skin tone. Then it would be okay. You see the irony?
Colorism in the Asian entertainment industry is a real issue but creating controversy where there is none is mischievous and does more harm than good. Do I need to point out that one of the leads for the parent story, Tharn played by Mew, is known for his dark tone and handsome features? Give it a rest.
Neither is the actor, sorry "the guy" (who plays) Chika's ex-boyfriend! Nor most of the basketball team! Nor Leo and Leon's housekeeper! Nor Leo and Leon's mom! Nor the kids that play the younger versions of the two leads! Nor Fiat's stepmom! Nor his step/half sister! Nor half the cast for that matter! For shame!!!
If you're that outraged you can take the time to research the actor who plays King and submit for him to be added to the cast list for this series or to the database if it does not already exist. That's how contributions work. If it is really your intention to support him and his career you can start there. But something tells me that this is not really your intention.
It's interesting that the bad guy called "king" have darker skin, don't you think?
Not interesting at all considering the previous villain (Chika's ex-boyfriend) had lighter skin tone and probably the one after this will have lighter skin tone too. He isn't listed under cast either. Are you saying that the actor who played King (very well I have to say) should not have gotten the role for fear of being accused of colourism? So much for diversity. BTW the lighter skinned villain was an even worse character by comparison. Should darker skin toned actors be shunned by casting directors for villain or comedy roles? Should these actors not audition for them?
Yes, colourism is a problem in the Thai and larger Asian entertainment industry but this is not an example of that.
