After the ending of episode 11, it was really hard to get emotionally invested in the main couple in the final episode (loved Porjai/Night though). I guess I felt like the writing needed Mhok and Day to break up, and I just didn't understand how Day could seemingly so easily call it quits over something they should have talked about in detail. Ha, I think I get too into the story and always feel hurt when (overly?) caring characters are faced with rejection.
But yeah, I enjoyed the series overall, especially the acting. Hoping for that Mark leading role one day, and also want to see more from Namtan.
At the beginning of the episode I was trying to give August a chance as an 'ok, maybe he's just an asshole friend but trying to bridge the gap in his own way', because I felt like Day had to go through the experience to let go of his crush.
But no, there is no excuse for his 'good memory' bs, and it shows how August does not put himself in Day's position when he interacts with him. Same with the bar scene, where he escalates the situation instead of taking a step back and checking how Day is feeling.
Final thought: this to me was a Jimmy mic drop episode and I felt every moment of it hhh.
Can you spoil me: are gunfights common in this show?
I watched 1/4 of the first episode and I just can't take the action seriously. I especially love how the strike team (?) doesn't cover their rear so it's almost like enemies just spawn out of view, and that the team continues the mission stealthily even after shooting. So yeah, if these kinds of action scenes are a main part of the drama, I think it's not for me.
Had fun with the first episode! Wasn't sure I'd like it because I didn't vibe with the manga, but so far so good :) I haven't watched anything with TayNew before, but these roles seem to suit them great. I also squealed a bit inside when I realised Junior and Mark were in this, I loved their bit in Midnight Museum!
I can see the "family resemblance" in this casting :) Like many, I got introduced to Jaechan (and DKZ) through SE, so it's good to see him take on a new acting project and gain more experience. All the best to him and DKZ!
I guess this drama is not for me, which is sad because I really wanted to watch another Bai Lu drama after TtEotM.
OfL Ep. 6 has Shi Yan torpedo Zheng Shu Yi's work again and again, making it seem like he has little to no professionalism. But then Shu Yi's reply to Shi Yan's "what if I say no [to you pursuing me]?" made me also shake my head: is it supposed to be flirty and not creepy that she won't take no for an answer? Also, she doesn't really seem to have or hasn't admitted to feelings for him at this point, why go after him so hard when the article isn't out yet? But yeah, Shi Yan just stressed me out with making Shu Yi put in so many hours when he could have just pointed out the parts in the article he wanted changed in the first place, like a normal person.
I hope the drama does well, I'm just too much of a work = work person to ride along :)
Force has a whole range of two expressions, constipated and smirky. Book is bland, unseasoned as cheum called…
I hadn't seen these actors before, so for half the show I kept expecting their storyline to be the most messed up. Like them just toying with each other for kicks, since really I couldn't pick up any believable tenderness between them. I didn't skip any of their scenes, but definitely lost interest when the acting just couldn't deliver what was needed.
This felt like a masterclass on how to portray longing on drama. I've never seen Nonkul and Bright's works before, but I 100% believed them to be Jom and Khun Yai. It felt like the two were touching even when they were just looking at each other, and even when they touch it's like they're missing each other.
Now that it's over, I kinda feel empty, but maybe hopeful with what we got in the last episode.
