I don't feel good about homophobia popping up as a major plot point when before that everyone was doing whatever…
i agree with a lot of this but i want to add on something about the mom-- i feel like her shipping/overwhelming support comes from a place of guilt *because* of the accident, and the fact that she just wants her son to be in a happy relationship rather than the toxic one with the other guy (dont remember his name). i dont think we can really hold the joe swap against her because she doesnt even know her son is dead. but yeah i felt so awful for joe #2, he didnt even get the chance to survive and fix his life the way joe #1 did. i wish there was more focus on him too, since his life is the reason joe got a second chance in the first place.
ming is a batsh*t crazy loser but i promise he is not as bad as vegas is
- pining over his brother in law & uses joe as a substitute - constantly gets jealous, then puts joe down & accuses joe of cheating - assaults & kidnaps joe, somehow gets blindsided when joe doesnt trust him anymore - joe dies & he refuses to believe it for 2 years - you could argue that he is not a 'loser' in terms of career/money but despite all of that he still grieves for joe - uses someone as a replacement AGAIN - (as far as episode 9) still keeps in close contact with tong - still uses the same power tactics with the new joe - finds out joes body is dead - (as of episode 9) joe essentially wants nothing to do with him
i meant loser as in 'cannot emotionally regulate' and 'crappy partner,' and losing streak as in 'constantly makes bad decisions and his life is unfortunate,' not in terms of wealth or career but in terms of personality and relationships.
tbh, i think this is better than fort and peat's last project together (which i really disliked lol). their acting has gotten better and though there is argument about the plot/no plot, personally i think the storyline is an improvement compared to whatever happened in love in the air.
This show is a great show if you never had a wattpad phase at fourteen, or just never grew out of that wattpad…
the wattpad phase comment rings so true, especially within the bl community oml. watched this when it came out and thought that i had watched a completely different show from the one people were describing.
imagine being thrown off by the fact that somebody accurately and logically explains their opinion instead of just resorting to childish and petty responses like you do... this is a review site, of course they are going to leave their review 💀💀
'sheer ridiculousness' where? it was actually kinda obvious that Pimfah had something for Sailom since episode…
lol i think you misunderstood me-- i had a vague feeling pimfah liked sailom from earlier episodes, but the actual scene of kang putting his lock on pimfah's while pimfah put her lock on sailom's was so funny to me, secondhand embarrassment hit hard. the 'total mess' is referring to this messy love triangle
ik the ending of ep5 was supposed to be serious and heartbreaking but im sorry, i was giggling so hard out of the sheer ridiculousness of it all, this is a TOTAL MESS. love triangles are not my thing but i hope the best for pimfah (wouldve liked napdao as her love interest if she werent literally her teacher)
perth and chimon have been doing pretty good on the acting front but the script itself really depends on your tolerance/preferences. eps 1 & 2 have a lot of bullying (ranging from physical violence to sexual harassment to detrimental false rumors), but 3 & 4 focus on developing a closer friendship between the two mains (one of whom is a hardcore bully and the other who was on the receiving end of his bullying).
its been moving pretty quickly as of now, but i think that's to make way for a bigger plot point regarding chimon's character & his brother's loan sharks. thus far, there isnt really anything remarkable about the plot itself but production and acting are pretty good.
if the bullying had instead been lighter teasing I'd have zero complaints but the whole 180 in 3 episodes feels…
mhm, feels really quick especially when you consider the sexual harassment, constant physical violence, and the fact that kang made a false rumor of sailom being a p*dophile. am anticipating the serious, proper apology to both sailom & his friends before i begin to gaf about kang.
The one nitpick I do have is this strange dynamic with the father. It is simply not written well so far.He is…
i was feeling this way while watching the series-- didnt know how to describe it but you put it perfectly. i understand that kang is hurt by the fact that his father doesnt expect anything of him (i.e. 'he doesnt think i can accomplish something on my own and it hurts my ego') and i think the scene of his dad buying the motorbike anyway emphasizes that, but so far it really does feel like his dad is trying to be there for him, even if it isnt manifested in the way kang needs it to be.
Perth and Chimon's interactions have definitely made a bigger impression on me than anything else about the show.…
oop i felt that 2nd point in my soul-- the plot is very cliche atp and i started watching this for solely for perth & chimon, if this was done by unfamiliar actors i most likely wouldnt have tuned in (gmm is in their chronic flop era, many of their bl releases so far have been tired and tropey, including this one).
