Finally finished it. I feel like I shouldn't have liked it as much as I did. The story wasn't bad, even if there wasn't much of it, but I felt the character growth of P and Pan. Both of their acting performances improved from last season as well. Also, PJ was surprisingly likeable after the first half of the series, adorable puppy chasing after Plai!
But basically, it's an extended tourism ad featuring softcore porn. And we're all here for that! I can appreciate tourism ads but the lipstick and joystick product placement had me dying during that whole NC scene in episode 7. It's hard enough filming NC scenes I would imagine, how did they keep it together enough to finish!? That's professionalism right there.
I found the book last week in the discussions and I was honestly not crazy about it. I legit had to drop it and…
I read the book and I liked it as something seperate from the series. The series is way better, and if I compare the book it falls short, but I think I would have liked it more than I did if I had read it before the series came out.
I do like the time shift in the book better than the series, because Thada on Twitter is the best, and I'm hoping they will be able to bring that into the series 1999 style.
In the book it's emphasized that Armin is re-living his 20's as a 45 year old. He's said/thought multiple times that he feels 45, not like a young person. He's past the drama of youth, and is approaching his love with Thada with maturity that can look like disinterest or that he doesn't love as much as Thada loves, compared to Thada wanting to love out loud and lavishly. He knows Thada loves him because of his knowledge of TD from his first life. Book Armin is known he is loved almost from the start of their interactions, once he realizes Thada is TD and understands that TD must have been in love with him for 20+ years to do everything he did, he knows he doesn't have to make Thada love him, so he can just grow his feelings for Thada with confidence. Thada doesn't have this surety, he still thinks he has to try more do more for Armin to love him and keep loving him, so he's very over the top about it trying to show Armin it's love not just respect for his acting, or thankfulness for saving his life.
In the series Armin has some of that I'm actually 45 poise and maturity, but mostly, and especially about loving Thada, reset Armin is reliving his 20's as a 20 something year old, I like that they did that, otherwise Armin might have been pretty boring. Both Armin's took advantage of the reset to live happier lives and love Thada, but series Armin is livelier, like really re-living and experiencing his life again.
Loved this episode a lot and almost couldn't stop laughing. CEO Tada made me feel like I slept and woke up on…
I won't spoil anything but looks like you will enjoy Thada in the novel! I wish I waited to read it, but I'm too impatient to wait for a whole series to finish to know how it ends!
Thada is getting so cute with his over-the-top protection and displays of love for Armin. In the scene where Armin is "scolding" Thada they are both so adorable. Also really enjoying Wenai, just the right mix of humour, exasperation, and sternness for the situations he's always in because of Thada. But I love how he is totally shipping them and goes all in to do his jobs. I like when Wenai's english phrases come out when he's surprised too, makes his reactions funnier.
I liked the novel. I see it getting dragged in the comment section on here as "Wattpad" fiction, but it's actually a good BL read to me. And I liked the end, the bonus chapter stuff was endearing.
I loved this episode! We finally got Jun telling Sorn off. Both mains did a good job portraying the feelings they were going through, I'm glad it was well done. I finished the novel a few days ago and I was hoping they would do it well as I found the "break-up" sequence to be the best part of the novel, and was craving some real emotion after the every episode f*ck fest these two have had.
I wish they would have shown more of the confrontation/conversation between Sorn and Thai because in the novel it explains a bit more about why Sorn didn't want to fall for Jun and how that relates to Thai.
Side note, the beard! I was expecting it because it was in the novel how disheveled Sorn becomes while pining for Jun, but I was not expecting that! Did they just draw it on? Like use a make up sponge and some mascara or something and dab it on his face? Couldn't they have gotten a fake beard piece? That was so startling to see and so laughable.
I am enjoying watching this, I like it but I'm not fully sure what to think of it yet. The last couple eps have felt like a different series from when it started. It started with debt collector issues with Keen but Thun pays and it's now just gone. We have the whole Thun/Typhoon drama that again is just gone, I know Thun was emotionally healed by Keen and all, but poof there goes another storyline. The dad fell for a scam and lost his money but that was pretty much skipped over.
The drugs are back with Yut, and we have a politician (and they are usually corrupt), the sketchy boxing head guy, and the mystery phone guy from Ait's call. I think it's probably his sister's benefactor, because who just pays for a 2nd string boxer's sister to get top medical care after seeing it on a livestream?
We're only halfway through the series and I don't know how to explain that it feels like it's moving fast and slow at the same time and also like I'm watching more than one series and the characters happen to be the same.
Maybe I'm just so used to BL's with no plot that having a plot feels weird. But I'm here for the journey, and they do spicy very well, so there's always that!
What in the holy hot mess is this devolving into?? And seriously did they just use a r**e as a spicy scene??? So clearly Jon has feelings for Chain, but like that was r**e. So Jon's an ass, Chain is also looking like an ass, Sun is maybe an ass, and Nu has basically no personality. Got it. Great character development going on here. The girls are the best part in this BL. I won't even get into the ridiculously unnecessary side story about the highschoolers.
I know it's small company, the actors are new and/or inexperienced, but the acting is really starting to bother me. I try really hard not to put it on the actors because I know these company's are just trying to mass produce any BL for views without regard to things like story, character development, and acting ability. I wish companies would stop scooping up a bunch of newbies for cheap casting and putting them out before they're abilities are ready. It's a detriment to the series and the actors.
I am about to start ep2, I am looking for a spoiler from those who know the book. Does Thada/TD know about Amin re-living his life? And what happened in tne original life/timeline? If so when does he find out? Please mark it as a spoiler so no one comes for me in the comments asking for a spoiler!
What did I dislike most about this episode? Jun realizing Sorn doesn't like him/doesn't want to like him? Nope. It's Penny's perfect hair and makeup when she's in bed sick. It just looked so out of place.
You know what the best part about googling flatiron was? The AI generated response that explained it came from a family counselling website, specifically their January 2024 position of the month.
I enjoyed this right from ep 1, and not just because it's spicy. I mean yeah the whole pretend not to care, we're just sex buddies is a trope that's been done before, but this show is doing it well and it doesn't feel repetitive, like I know it's a well-used plot device but it feels new. (If you get what I mean? I feel like my words are not wording properly today.)
However, as much as I like them, it's starting to drag out a bit much. 7 episodes is a lot for the viewers to go through without any movement towards either of the mains finally confessing and starting the next section of drama. I feel like by now there should have been movement towards feelings/a relationship. The audience knows they both like eachother, but I want more story, I want feelings, I want progress! The build up to the eventual confrontation/confession from one of them is coming, and as a viewer I enjoy that build, (especially when they also spend time on developing the other characters and getting spicy scenes in for multiple couples) but I'm at the verge of losing interest in the mains because of the lack of development.
I'm glad we're finally seeing the Penny and June story, I like them together, they seem like they would make a good solid-in-love couple and I can't wait. Still curious about Penny and Sorn and what kind of deal they have going on.
But what the heck is the ThaiChamp story? I feel like we know nothing about them and something seems off. I thought they were supposed to be 2nd couple, but they've had very little screen time, especially time focused on their story, I can't even tell if they're a couple. Are they a couple, if so do people like Sorn and Jun know, are they FWB, or FWB that one or both want more, what is the story?!!!
Also Phut's girlfriend, hell no. She has got to go, yeah Phut cheated, but if she's going to be that crazy about things she must be miserable, and who wants to live like that? If you cant move on with him move on without him.
The book link was posted in the comments, I'm going to read it and spoil it for myself. Otherwise, I might end up too annoyed with the lack of progress to keep going. Once I know the story I can deal with pacing issues more patiently. This is also why I drop a series halfway through and then binge when they finish, I'm too impatient.
Ima post the link to the “book”here: FYI it is NSFW.https://www.wattpad.com/1523774012-my-stubborn-complete-dislike-infoThis…
Thank you going to go read! I don't really care about spoilers. In all likelihood Sorn and Jun will end up together in the end, but the series is seriously starting to drag for me and I need some story! I need to know how it ends, I'll be less annoyed at the slow pace of the series if I know how it ends lol.
😭😂Like they already beat the guy up, what's there more to do? And I don't think it was that bad...not something…
I'm waiting for like the guy wants revenge because he's jealous not about the girl but because he's in love with Chain and didn't realize it or know how to handle it. I can see that trope coming next.
