Nam is honestly just a disgusting human being. Every time she's on screen she gets worse and worse. She desperately needs a therapist at minimum. I can easily see her being committed at best or in prison by the end of the show
That's my problem with it too. Yes, there's clinical trials for all kinds of things, probably even Amyloidosis, but acting like there's a clinical trial out there that's able to cure it is very wrong imo. If they used a later stage cancer or something like in QoT, where there realistically could be a trial or specific specialized doctor with extremely high cure rates it's one thing, a terminal disease that has no cure on the horizon is another.
However, I do think that the doctor said it was a promising treatment that could extend his life, not cure him. So at least they didn't try and act like he's able to be saved. Even though that was only one line that a lot of people missed
I just started watching Petrichor and idk if it's because I already saw this comment, but every time he's on screen I can't stop staring at his face because of it lol. This is a very apt name for him, the eyeliner is way way extreme lmao
Pam and Arhoung are doing an amazing job. Now that they have switched back you can see the difference in how each…
Yeah they are doing a really good job acting in both personalities. I'm really happy that we have 3 full eps of them being themselves so they can showcase their abilities and we can actually appreciate them being "themselves" and not just have a last minute switch where it's just a line or 2 of them being "them"
Do they both come out next week? I thought the schedule thing only had 2 eps coming out with 9 and 10, then back…
got ya. Wasn't sure if I missed something lol. I actually forgot they were doing 2 eps this week and started ep 10 when I sat down to watch and 1 minute in I was like "I'm missing something here" lol
He might be alive at the end of the show, but he's definitely dying unless it's a misdiagnosis. Amyloidosis is terminal and there's no cure. It's really just a matter of if he lives to the end of the show or not with that diagnosis
First episode was cute, but NGL I avoid people with Rin's attitude like the plague. I can't stand people that act so superior to everyone around them and everything out of their mouth is demeaning or condescending. I'm going to keep watching, and I'm excited for her character growth but she's honestly already nearing my last nerve
I don't know why, they don't really look or even act alike, but for some reason Tertis reminds me of Twice's Mina? A lot of the times she's on screen, I see 0 resemblance, but there's other times where she comes on and I immediately picture Mina lol. Might just be me, but curious if anyone else sees it or knows what it is
Definitely going to watch it. I just like watching from official channels whenever possible. I want to support the artists however I can so if my view can count, I'd prefer that
They're releasing it on YouTube 10/8. It's only airing on Channel 3 today
So dumb and annoying really. It always aired on Ch3 first, then became available on YT after. I don't know why they felt the need to wait a week for the last episode
You know when it will get too much hype ? When it will win GL of the year. And then ,you and everyone that trash…
TLDR, No it's not a masterpiece, but it's way better than most of the GLs that came out this year.
I don't think this was "The greatest show ever" but compared to a lot of other GLs I've watched this year, it was really well done imo. I'll use your 4 points.
1 Acting... Yes, the acting was a little lacking, but it's actually the very first credit of 2 of the mains, the only one with prior experience is the one you didn't have a problem with. Shelly and Pundao were good enough to be believable, and have the talent to become great with experience.
2 Chemistry... ShellyPundao chemistry is OUTSTANDING. They have some of the best chemistry out of all the love teams. There's more famous couples that have less chemistry together than them. Even with Neko, Shelly has good sister chemistry with her and Pundao has good chemistry with her. I could easily see Pundao and Neko being a love team if Shelly wasn't in the picture.
3 Storytelling.... I really like this story and didn't notice any major discrepancies. I didn't read the novel, but haven't seen any "This isn't like the novel!!!" posts, so I'm assuming it was pretty true to the source material. The story was pretty consistent pacing and plot wise all throughout, so I don't see how there is an issue here. Someone can not like the story, but it doesn't mean they didn't do a good job with the storytelling.
4 Production... The production was well above average for the GLs that I've seen this year. It absolutely wasn't perfect, and yeah there were a lot of slomo scenes, but there was way less than some other shows. There also weren't any glaring continuity errors or ridiculously extreme edits, lighting, etc that I could see.
And I dont give a shit about any awards shows. I've never seen or even looked at the winners of Thai ones, but in America, it's not just the People's Choice awards that are popularity contests. Grammys, Oscars, Emmys, all of them are popularity contests and mean nothing, the only difference between them is who it's popular with. There's movies that only 1 in 10 people have seen, and that one person usually thinks it was meh at best but it wins a ridiculous amount of awards because it checks all the boxes for the judges of that award show. I don't think awards mean as much to the general populace as they used to. Real life audience ratings and reviews are held to a higher standard than critics anymore
