Victor Chatchawit Techarukpong must be the designated 🫏 of Thai drama. He does it very well.

Down, girls! Down!

He was in Queen of Tears and did an incredible job with his character.

I would have liked them to leave it with Choi Do Ha realizing his fate was sealed, and letting him live with that knowledge as he perished slowly and painfully. Or at least let him choke on his own blood a little longer. I know I'm bloodthirsty, but he was so awful it felt like he got off too easy at the end.

I don't know how I felt about Ju Hui at the end but Ok Ja Yeon did an outstanding job with her character.

I dropped Vagabond on the first or second episode because the writing was so asinine and sexist (even by Korean standards) that not even a great cast could save it. For all its flaws, Big Mouth is vastly better in all aspects.

There is a small, but vocal, group of people on this site who entertain themselves and each other by recreationally disparaging talented actresses. Yoon A is one of their favorite targets, presumably because of her popularity and public acclaim. It really doesn't have anything to do with her acting ability. Pay them no mind. The only credibility they have is with each other.

Jung Se Ok is deliciously insane. I'm really enjoying this drama.

Update: riveting from start to finish. Award worthy performance from Park Eun Bin. It's not easy to play a psychopath you want to root for.

Hyper Knife is a study in complementary psychopathology. Two brilliant, talented, dedicated, probably narcissistic, probably neurodivergent surgeons battle themselves and each other, laying bare their mesmerizing amorality and insanity. I couldn't take my eyes off of it.

I would have liked a little less emotional flagellation on the beach and more resolution at the end. I think a two year separation deserved a little more attention than it got.

I liked the "who will show up?" tension. But the next time jump was whiplashy.

More GLs ought take time to savor the moment. Denied Love, Harmony Secret, and Affair also seemed rushed at the end. On the other hand, Us, TSoU, GAP, Blank, TLP, MMDIY all gave us a little breathing room.

Air to Pure: Have you ever thought about my feelings?

Well, that took some brass ovaries.

Clearly Pure *was* available as she availed herself enthusiastically of the opportunity Loft presented, her broken heart nicely healed by consistent application of loving attention and robust sex. Later, when presented with the opportunity to choose a free and unencumbered Air, Pure noped out again, confirming her demonstrably healed heart was still choosing Loft.

And good for her, Air is not to be trusted. Any woman who will ditch you once for convenience, will ditch you twice. "Mommy told me to" is not the get out of relationship free card you think it is.

Proof? When Air felt Pure slipping away, she trashed that filial piety bs in a hot minute, hitched up her ovaries, and got a divorce. So, obviously when the motivation is sufficient, Air *can* say no to mommy. Too bad she didn't think of that before Pure found a woman who would prioritize her.

Honestly, you sound like the shipper -- clearly you got it bad for Air and Pure. When you pretzel yourself to the point of claiming a grown woman in her mid 30s is a "child" incapable of making her own decisions, your credibility is already hitchhiking down the road.

I hope your IRL picker is better than your TV one.

Check your assumptions.
A. I'm not a shipper. I'm a grown up, I know how acting works.
B. We may have different moral compasses. I believe when one (Air) is engaged to one person (Pure), one should not abruptly dump her to marry another person (Lamp). When that occurs, THAT is the betrayal. It doesn't matter that Air didn't *want* to marry Lamp because she *did* marry Lamp, and she did it with forethought and deliberation.

Air is several years older than Pure, who was almost 27 when Air left her, so Air was an approximately 30 year old woman with her own agency and her own mind, responsible for her own actions. Unless Mommy held a gun to her head, Air mindfully CHOSE to trade her fiancee, Pure, for a wealthy man to ensure the financial comfort of herself and her mother.

Pure owed Air absolutely nothing.

Likewise, Loft owed Air nothing. There is no "dog in the manger" romance rule that specifies you can't date a person if someone married to another person is in love with them and wouldn't want you to, even - or especially - if the person is married to one's brother AND had kicked Pure to the curb three years ago AND told her not to wait.

It's truly weird to think Loft should steer clear of Pure, who was single and very much damn sure available, to clear the path so Air could continue to torture both Loft's brother and Pure with her unavailability and unwillingness to truly be with either.

In what manner did Loft betray Air? Air straight up told Pure to find someone else and Air is the one who introduced the two of them AND orchestrated their first time alone.

While Loft knew Pure was hung up on Air, Air never told Loft about her own feelings. There was no reason Loft and Pure should not be dating - or whatever they were doing.

IMO Air betrayed Pure, both by being engaged to Pure but dumping her to marry Lamp and by continually teasing Pure just enough to keep her panting. Yes, it's really awkward, but the only reason it got that complicated is that Pure was initially unwilling to be openly with Loft because she still held out hope for Air - that's not on Loft.

Her bio says she was born and raised in Thailand.

Really? Because they had me rapt and on the edge of my seat!

Sooooo... is there a reason he couldn't have just left the ship with everyone else?

That aside, I would watch a second season.

I love how the good guys conveniently stand in the middle of the street so they can be mown down by the bad guys.

I love that the flashback scenes have the color palette of vintage Kodak film. Nice touch.

Wait, are we giving Ai a free pass for drugging Mae so she could try to break into her computer? And then sneaking a peek at Superior's financials while they were supposed to be focusing on sexy time at the resort?

She also never found out Ai roofied her.
