This does come off as a post to just hate on Kong, since you keep bringing him up in the replies…I would like…
You're very welcome!! I know it's VERY long but I couldn't help myself. I was reading these comments and quite honestly it made my blood boil. I can't stand people who act like their opinion is a fact and they are the only one who is right or ones who are unnecessarily hateful and rude. But they took it a step farther by saying that their hateful comments were meant to help someone grow and then calling others extreme. Nope that hit me in all the wrong ways and I just had to say something, a lot actually. And yes I agree they are all doing great for their first roles and Thomas is doing great for his first time as a lead. I don't understand people who expect perfection from the start you have to give people a chance to learn and improve. I called this Zara person out on the Fourever You comments too for another hateful comment they made. Going on about all the things they didn't like and the things the production company did wrong and then goes on to act like they were speaking for everyone with their comment.People are entitled to their opinions but there are nicer ways to voice them without being hateful and rude and acting like a know it all or a so called expert.

Not all criticisms help people grow. There are good (constructive) criticisms that can help people grow/improve. But there is also bad criticism that does the opposite. The problem with your comment that got people upset is that you used both types of criticism.
Good (constructive) criticism is when you point out the flaws or what is lacking in something and maybe offer solutions to make it better. In your original comment you did point out that you felt that the main couple weren't good at expressing their emotions. That you couldn't tell if Teerak was happy or sad. That is good criticism because you pointed out what you thought the issues were and if he or they heard that they would know what they need to work on.
However your first sentence "Teerak can't even act how did he get the lead role in a series?" Is a bad criticism which by definition is meant to tear people down. And that one sentence was in fact HATEFUL (as most bad criticisms are). And that wasn't the only bad, hateful criticism you made. In another comment you said "Kong knows nothing about acting". While these statements may be your opinion they are still hateful and would not in any way help anyone grow but would instead tear them down and make them lose confidence.
I personally think that these statements were not only hateful but were also harsh and came across as HATE towards Kong. I could understand if he was a veteran actor and was still lacking but that isn't the case. Kong is a rookie actor and this is his very first role. You shouldn't expect perfection or even greatness from him from the beginning. He could improve and grow to be a really good actor but what he needs to be able to do that is time, practice, encouragement, support and good (constructive) criticisms that could actually help. What he doesn't need is to be torn down from the beginning by hateful criticisms without being given the chance to improve.
No the comment section isn't only for fans. And yes you have freedom of speech and so does everyone else. Just as you had the freedom of speech and the right to say what you said, others have the freedom of speech and right to say if they found what you said hateful, rude, offensive etc.
You called people extreme and said they were attacking you for being hateful (which you were). The sentences "Teerak can't even act how did he get the lead role in a series?" and "Kong knows nothing about acting" were EXTREMELY HATEFUL and very unnecessary. And to me the fact that you chose to make these hateful (non helpful) statements is also extreme. If you had only used constructive criticism then people probably wouldn't have even said anything to you. I know I wouldn't have. But you shouldn't make hateful comments and then expect people not to say anything or call them extreme when they do.
The actors are very good. I really like the couples. But unfortunately the company is very disorganized and unplanned.…
Why are you comparing this series to the way they did Perfect 10 Liners? Other than having multiple couples they are not the same. And just because they fit Perfect 10 Liners into 24 episodes doesn't mean they could easily do the same for this series. The novels that these series are adapted from are not the same in length for one thing. This novel series is WAY longer than Perfect 10 Liners. Perfect 10 Liners only has 12 chapters. But this series with all 4 novels combined is over 100 chapters. The Hill/Ter and Arthit/Dao novels both have almost 40 chapters each. While the Johan/North one has 40 chapters and Typhoon/Fah has almost 50 chapters.
Do you really think they could fit all of those stories even into 24 episodes? There is no way they could unless they seriously butchered the stories and cut over half from each one. Just to fit 2 couples into this season things were already cut out just to make these 2 stories fit into 17 episodes. Maybe YOU would be satisfied if they completely destroyed all the stories just to fit them into one season but others would NOT be. And I don't know what you are going on about the trailer. Yes they showed the other characters but only in scenes with Hill,Ter,Johan,North. It didn't show them as couples, and it clearly says at the end of the trailer that it is Fourever You Part 1 it also says that this is Part 1 on the poster posted up above meaning that there will be a part 2. If you saw scenes of the other couples then you probably saw the pilot trailer but not the official trailer. It also says up above that this part is based off of the novels about Easter and North it also says that at the beginning of EVERY episode in the opening credits. Clearly if there are 4 couples and 2 parts to this series and this part only has 2 couples that means the other 2 couples will be in the next part. They have been clear from the beginning and announced it multiple times in multiple places that this is Part 1 (the trailer, the poster, opening credits). If people don't pay attention to these things that's not the company's fault.
They switched it to 17 episodes from 16 at fan's request to add more Johan/North scenes because so many had already been cut out to fit it into 16 episodes. You can not like the show or the way it was done that is your right, but to act like the company was disorganized and wasn't clear about it is wrong and to say they increased it for no reason is also wrong. Too many fans were contacting the director and writer on X about Johan/North not having enough screen time and parts of their story not being shown so they announced they would add an extra episode. That is not for no reason that is to satisfy the people who were upset and requesting it. Now I can understand being upset about them charging but the way I look at it the money that they charge can help fund season 2 of this series or other series that they make that we will then get to watch and enjoy (or not).
Did you watch it on You Tube? Because if so then you missed it when Johan explained that. In the uncut version…
Oh OK got it now. I've never read the novels but have heard about it from people who have and it sounds like they did tone him down a lot for the series and I'm glad. If he acted the way in the novel I don't think I could stand him. And I'm actually glad they didn't show him being a playboy because for me hearing about it and seeing it are kinda different. Kinda like not seeing it you can think well maybe it's not as bad as they are saying it but seeing it I might not have been so happy about North getting together with him or at least would have wanted North to make him wait longer and really earn North's trust and love.
There has to be even more than 17ep. We have two more couples that they didn't even start. And one of them i sow…
There are only 17 episodes. This was always supposed to be a 2 season series with each season focusing on 2 couples. It even tells at the beginning of the episodes during opening credits that this season is based off of the novels about North and Easter.
Did you watch it on You Tube? Because if so then you missed it when Johan explained that. In the uncut version…
No it was never shown but there was one scene in episode 9 (uncut version) where one of his hookups called him and North answered the phone and they were wanting to know why Johan stopped contacting them and seeing them but admitted that they had an arrangement/agreement with Johan that there was nothing serious between them. And honestly he never denied it when his friends talked about it or called him out on it or when his previous hookup buddy called and talked to North. And he even admitted it a few times. The first time was in episode 10 (uncut) Hill asked him what he was going to do about his stock of people he had been hooking up with and he said he was gonna take care of it and end it with all of them because he had chosen North. Then in episode 14 (uncut) he basically admitted it in front of his friends, North and Ter. Arthit said that before North Hill was always having to scold Johan for being a player and Johan said that Hill wouldn't have to scold him anymore because he was committed to North now. Then he admitted it directly to North and why he became a player in episode 16 (uncut). So just because they didn't show it doesn't mean it's not true especially when he himself admits it was. Why would he admit to that if it wasn't true especially to North? But honestly they don't always show us everything and it's up to the viewers to either believe or not believe what they are telling us. But it doesn't help when they cut parts out of the You Tube version that could be important.
Did you watch it on You Tube? Because if so then you missed it when Johan explained that. In the uncut version…
North was supposed to go to America after high school and from what I understand wasn't coming back. Johan's friend that owned the internet cafe told him that North was leaving and that if he didn't go see him right then he would never get to see him again. Johan went to see North and witnessed his breakup and so felt that wasn't the right time to try to approach him and then he also thought that North was leaving and wasn't coming back so he didn't approach him and decided to try to get over North. North ended up not going to America because he didn't want to leave his mom alone but Johan didn't know that North never left until Hill sent him to Ter and North's dorm to check on Ter and Johan saw North. After knowing that North hadn't left he started trying to get closer to North.
I'm so confused after watching ep 16 it was shown in initial eps that johan is a playboy but in 16 ep it was completely…
Did you watch it on You Tube? Because if so then you missed it when Johan explained that. In the uncut version he tells North that he became a playboy once he entered college. He wanted to get over North but also wasn't ready to open his heart and care for anyone else yet, but he was never able to forget about North or move on. Once he saw North again he stopped seeing other people.
Because they are having a fan meet on the 25th where fans can watch the episode with the cast. They are airing the episode the same time as the fan meet. They announced it on their X account.
Does anyone know if the second season has already been filmed or when it will be broadcast?
The Director said a few weeks ago that they are still trying to get enough funding to make season 2 and there hasn't been any updates since then that I'm aware of.
There are only 17 episodes. Studio Wabi Sabi announced on their X account that episode 17 is the final episode.https://x.com/wabisabiTH/status/1879151514020880690
