Actually I wasn't saying it because of you, because of the issue of sadism, but because of the second review that calls us sadists. That doesn't make sense, because of all the things I told you before.
Yes, it's true, we were spectators because we saw the drama. Actually, when you raised that point, I thought for a long time if I was part of this too. But since it was a pre-recorded drama and I didn't really have fun at any point, I did a sociological analysis. I took it as a reflection drama.

Of course you have every right to think that nothing makes sense. When I read the synopsis I also already knew what I would find, but seeing the brutality of those on the first floors reaffirmed to me that people do any kind of things, crossing all the limits of what a human being should not do, just to win money.
In reality, the protagonist at the beginning was also like this, not to the point of reaching the level of those on the first floors. For example, with the question of coins, at first he only He thought of himself and not of others and then he thought about how many coins the others would ask for.
The question of breaking cameras doesn't really make much sense if you think about it. When they tortured them they could have also broken all the cameras, but if you look deeper what motivated them was the death of number 10. It really affected him too much and he broke everything so that time would stop and no one else could continue seeing them and escape from the game, he desperately asked for help so that number 10 would not die and seeing that they did nothing and that the public would stop giving them more time. That was his limit as a person, then we see how it affected him psychologically, he slept a lot and tried to commit suicide out of guilt. So the only thing he could do to redeem himself was hold a funeral and try to contact the participants and the family. Although he didn't go to the funeral, everyone knew, from the description his wife gave, they knew who gave him so much money so that they could live their entire lives comfortably. He also tried to redeem himself in some way.
I think if you look at it that way, it makes sense. But if you think that doesn't make sense either and that the cameras were meant to give it a dramatic twist, that's totally respectable because it's your opinion. I can give you my opinion, what I think and reflect, but I do not try to change your opinion. I respect that because you have been very respectful in terms of giving your point of view.

I wasn't really going to comment on this but since the notification keeps appearing and I can't get it out because this person blocked me... well I thought I'd comment again.

I'm glad that there are more and more people who say what they really think without being attacked. You know, when they remake a drama you like, you don't really expect everything to be the same, it would be boring. But it gives you the opportunity to see new things and meet actors you didn't know before. The problem lies when the essence of the drama is completely lost. I really have a trauma with the Kiss Me remake. I know Itazura na Kiss is a controversial drama but it's from a manga created in 1991, what were you really expecting to see? At that time the word feminism did not exist and even today the Japanese refuse to believe that there is no equality between women and men. Unfortunately Kaoru could not finish the work because she died, although she told her husband which one was going to do the ending of Itazura na Kiss was.
Unfortunately there are no English translations so I had to read the unfinished ending in Chinese, really when they get married you see a very radical change in Naoki compared to Kotoko. He really loves her for who she is, that clumsy and stupid, but he always tried not to let Kotoko's world revolve around him. That the career she chose is because it is her vocation and not because Naoki is a doctor, just as he found his vocation thanks to the motivation and ideas that she was giving him. At first Kotoko did it for him, but in an honest talk she tells him that she no longer thought about him, that she really loved being a nurse. And Naoki felt proud to hear that from her.

Their relationship was stormy at first, I don't really blame Naoki for being like that. There was nothing that fascinated him, because he could do everything effortlessly, but when he began to study to be a doctor he encountered many difficulties. On the one hand, because his father wanted Naoki to inherit his company, which he did not like at all, and on the other, it was his mother who wanted to impose Kotoko on him at all costs. The truth is that I don't think Naoki would have rejected Kotoko so much and taken so long to admit that he was in love with Kotoko if his mother I wouldn't have imposed so much on him to be with her. If his mother hadn't forced Naoki so much, he wouldn't have rejected her so much and would have eventually just accepted his feelings for her. Because Naoki really, when she started getting to know Kotoko, didn't dislike her at all. He had fun teasing her but it was more than a defense mechanism, he knew he was in love with Kotoko but refused to indulge his mother's wishes, however it would have been easier for Naoki to accept his feelings for Kotoko if his mother wasn't. forcing all the time.
In an honest conversation in the Japanese version, in which Kotoko fell asleep hahaha, he reveals to her that it was not that he did not want to do anything with her or that he did not desire her as a woman, but that he knew that If something had happened between them that night , his mother would have achieved her goal and did not wantgive in to his mother's wishes and whims.

The most faithful version, to a certain extent in which everything was distorted afterwards, was the Taiwanese version, then in the 2013 Japanese version, Kotoko went so far as to ignore Naoki and confront him. It was refreshing because I saw a more mature and not so loud Kotoko, the 2019 Chinese film was excellent, it showed a Kotoko who confronted Naoki harshly and let him go. It was he in the end who looked for her. And I think it's a wonderful movie with great chemistry.

Then came the 1996 version, it really makes me sick to see it, the Miss in Kiss version, it was a failure. The drama was quickly forgotten because there was really no chemistry between the actors.

And then the three Japanese films of 2016... it was really disappointing. She was excited because the actress playing Kotoko seemed happy, but the performances… Oh my god, that can't be called acting, no wonder it has such a low score. Even Yuki at 30 and Honoka at 15 created great chemistry and a great performance. The big age difference wasn't even noticeable.

Playful Kiss was what sent Itazura na Kiss to hell as the worst story in the world. First because they made Naoki extremely cruel when even in the manga he wasn't that cruel to Kotoko and he never went to those extremes and there really wasn't any chemistry.

But even so, and despite my criticisms, the versions tried to maintain the essence of the drama (with the exception of the 1996 version and Bésame). In Kiss they changed everything for me, Mike didn't even seem intelligent, the essence was completely lost and it was as if I was living a normal drama, not a remake.

And Mike and Aom are great actors who even far surpassed the Korean version of Full House. The chemistry was palpable, their performances were excellent, and it was very fun and entertaining to watch. They made changes, of course, but the essence was not lost.

The big problem is when they make a remake and make so many changes that the essence is lost. Then he goes on to make another run-of-the-mill drama, not a remake. And even more so when the performances are mediocre like Dew's. As I mentioned before, Dew performed decently because he had a director who made him practice daily and corrected him until he got it right. But you won't always have a mentor who is there to point out your mistakes and help you improve your performance.

It's okay if you like it, but it's also okay when you don't like it and comment on it. No one should kick you off the page and censor your opinions, like this girl did to me because she only wanted to see positive comments. Then she will call you a loser and block you.

That is not right. And that has a name and it is censorship.

And I can continue like the remake of Goong. Princess hours. The actors really tried their best to make it work, but the actress refused to do kissing scenes. I know Korean actors who don't like doing kissing scenes, but they have done it because they know it's their job. And if you don't like doing kissing scenes then do another type of genre. It's unprofessional of you to do that and it's an inconvenience to your coworkers. They're going to kill me for this, but in Big Mouse, Lee Jong Suk refused to do even a minimal kiss scene with Yoona. When they got married and were able to sacrifice their lives for each other. Of course they did an excellent job, but I found it very unprofessional on their part.

In Beauty Newbie, although it was premature to give a verdict, I still gave it, because I knew it would end badly. And guess what? People who liked her ended up disappointed. You know why? because when you see something is wrong from the beginning you know it won't end well. And this person was complaining about this when those of us who have been watching dramas for years already know that what starts badly ends badly.

So yes, if you are going to remake, don't change the entire essence of a drama. Because if not, it's not a remake. And to the people who go around censoring your critical thoughts, they are wrong. We are absolutely no one to censor the opinions of others.

Bright created his own company and has a personal manager.
I think there was a pretty big fight between him and GMMTV. They limited it a lot to Bright and forced them to do a lot of fanservice between Win and Bright.
Everyone thought that Win would go to Bright's company but he ended up renewing again with GMMTV.
This unleashed a wave of hate towards Bright, first because it was learned that Bright is dating Nene so it "broke" the fans' bubble of illusion that Win and Bright were a couple in real life. Then they decided to stop following him, they insulted him on Instagram and X became chaos, watching as fans burned Bright's things. Supporting only Win, because he supposedly "betrayed" him. Fans still make fun of Bright.
They had also noticed some distance between Win and Bright. So they put all the blame on Bright, when in reality they didn't unfollow each other or anything. We don't even know anything because neither of us came out to talk about the other.

I think Bright just got tired of giving so much fanservice so we saw that "distancing" (which no one really knows if it's true or not, because it's his private life) and it seems to me that he doesn't want to return to BL projects, because that led to that his private life would be greatly affected, soI highly doubt that I will do BL projects again.

They also blamed him a lot because he supposedly took "a lot of advantage" from the drama they did together as a couple when in reality it was the fans who created that fantasy and GMMTV as well.

So I really don't see the reason for his cancellation and even more so if he no longer felt comfortable and felt limited in his professional aspect.

I think the hate was and is excessive because he really didn't do anything wrong, he just broke ties with GMMTV and has a girlfriend, as any actor has the right to have.

The world of BL and more with Thai dramas is very problematic because the fans really want them to be a couple in real life by force and they even invented that Bright was going to give Win an engagement ring, when he never said that or He hinted at something like that. Obviously he was fed up and honestly, I would be too. That they even mess with my family and invent things about it 🤦🏻‍♀️

But anyway, it was because of that and all the scandal that was made around a decision that seems healthy and understandable to me. Plus, he didn't hurt anyone, he just made the decision he thought was right for him and his life. But many fans didn't understand this and say they won't see anything else from him.

He only has two films left, which have already been recorded and are just waiting for their release to completely disassociate himself from GMMTV.

Were we really spectators to watch the drama? That makes no sense.

Of course we are spectators because we watched the drama and gave a score. But the drama was already done. We didn't give that time to the protagonists. Here the director makes us reflect on our morality as a society. To what extent has society come to morbidly need and see so much violence? Of any type. Why are we no longer entertained by common, trivial and fun things? What has brought us to this point?

I consider it a drama that serves to reflect on how rotten society is and serves as a sociological study.

I am a sadistic person for watching, for example, the movie "Hope." No I'm not. In fact, I have only been able to see it once in my life because first, it affected me too psychologically to see it again and second, because it is a true story. This is something that happens every second, while we are here commenting and writing and that is what bothers me the most. That people, if I can call them human beings, do this and receive such light punishments while the victims continue in the loop of suffering. I am referring to the phrase that a prosecutor said in the drama “Juvenile Court”; "What is over? Nothing is over for the victims because the pain for them will continue to persist."

I did not watch reality shows of this type in real life, my morals do not allow it and because I do not need to watch programs of this type in my life to “have fun.” This doesn't make me happy. However, even though I didn't watch it, I am informed because I don't want to live in a glass life. Where I don't know what these things happen.
In some way he tried to raise awareness that these things are wrong and this type of content should not be consumed. And I'm too harsh when I mean this.

I will give you an example, so you can see that I am not a sadistic person. I am a content creator on TikTok, but I had no knowledge of what an influencer did in Argentina. I discovered it from a YouTube video. And as soon as I found out that this influencer was selling content sexually abusing her dog, I was too hard on her, I didn't hold back at all. Because that is punishable by law and she should be imprisoned, in the end I made a reflection. Why they follow people who do not contribute anything good to society, that is something I still do not understand. And I didn't even watch the video because my law is: not with children or animals either.

I didn't even consume it or know of its existence, I just found out by chance. I'd rather be a small content creator than exceed my limit as a human, because if I do, what am I really? A human being, clearly not.

When you study psychiatry they make you go to prison and believe me it is not a really pleasant feeling. You see each thing that, even if you are a psychologist or psychiatrist, you cannot understand what goes through that person's head to do those things. And you leave with fear and a feeling of desolation, thinking "what can I do to change this? Oh my God, tell me what I can do." I'm not the only one this happens to, the same thing happens to my colleagues too. They make us watch documentaries, movies or investigate murderers even if you don't really want to see it, but at the end of the day it's our job.

It is very exhausting psychologically and even physically. But when you take that path you know more or less what you're up against.

As Socrates said, we are beings who live philosophizing about many things, in my case mental health and society. And I took advantage of this drama to reflect and try to understand why we have fallen so low.

The worrying thing is that this should be taken as fiction, but it really happens and society becomes increasingly violent.

So I could call myself a spectator for watching this drama, but this was already produced beforehand, I was not the one who gave them the time or endorsed any behavior.

If that were the case, all of us who have seen movies or dramas of this style would be sadists and that is not the case. I have already told you that I had to take breaks because I was psychologically tired. And at no point did I have fun with this drama, I just watched it (I was actually a little reluctant to watch it) to reflect on everything in general.

If I want to have fun and take breaks, I watch romantic and funny dramas. But I can't live my whole life in that bubble that the world is a rainbow. It would be harmful to me, that's why I sometimes watch these dramas to see the real world I live in. And that the real world is more dangerous than we think.
I would be a sadistic person if I saw gory things just for the fun of it. Which I've never done. I have never seen movies or dramas that are just violent and gory for the sake of it. In fact, I refuse to watch them and until I was 28 I never felt attracted to that genre. I hate seeing that. I don't find the meaning or pleasure in things that are only that way for the sake of being that way and don't leave any reflective message that that's wrong.

I'm sorry if I have commented on personal things of mine that no one is interested in. But if I don't tell them, then my point of view or who I am as a person would not be understood.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the information.

I just wanted to say that every story of a country is enriching. Unfortunately there is not much documentation about that period, so I did not know that information.

Clearly, since it is fictionally about the history of Thailand, because as you said, that period is not well documented, they are going to take liberties and that is great because perhaps, even though it is fiction, the public will be able to learn about that period that, in my case, didn't know.

Again, thanks for the information.

So we are losing, my god 🤦🏻‍♀️

I answered you, not because I especially felt about your words. Yes, no because your argument of saying "they hate for the sake of hating" is really stupid.

If things go wrong from the first chapters, people have the right to not like it. See what happened to Beauty newbie? Everything started badly and ended badly.

You gave me the point and the reason just for countering me. You are censoring people just because you want to read positive comments. Do you live in the real world or in Disney?

You are kicking me off the page and censoring what I think. Who is the police here, you or me? Clearly you. You are absolutely no one to first kick me out and second censor my thoughts regarding the drama.

You are clearly a toxic fan. Because of these types of comments, like yours, people are afraid to say what they think. Not because of my comments.

Your comment was to start a war, because you are clearly making fun of people who don't have the same rainbow thinking as you.

If my opinion is not valid, yours even less so. You have fallen very low.

Before attacking someone, think carefully before writing. Because you are clearly censoring and kicking people out. Are you an administrator of the page? No, right? So what right do you have to kick out and censor people?

As I said before, I'm used to dealing with people like you. But in this case it is not an opinion, it is a harsh and strong censorship on your PART.

I repeat, before counterattacking, think carefully about what you are going to write and do not cross the limits, which you already did.

Unfortunately for you, I am going to continue commenting because, I reiterate again, you are no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, to kick me off the page and censor me. You have fallen too low and I will not stoop to your level any further.

Because the one who is being authoritarian, as if you were someone important, is you and not me. I have never, in the years that I have done reviews, cast out or censure anyone.

PS: I'm not important either, but at least I don't think I have the right to kick someone off this site or censor someone for thinking otherwise.

Final point.

I see a lot of people fighting and fighting, mainly over the role of the fourth prince and then over the stories of China, Korea and Thailand.

Let's go first, each country has its history and it is really interesting to study or research them. Something that China and Korea have in common was the bloody fight that the heirs to the throne had, there was too much betrayal between brothers (let's say stepbrothers because we all know that the Kings had many concubines, which did not have the same mother but the same father. ). The internal war over who would inherit the throne was so fierce that they killed each other to rule.

Precisely, in the Chinese version, which is more extensive and explanatory, not everything was about the romance, but about the power struggle between the princes.

Now, the history of Thailand is quite curious and interesting. We all know that Buddhism and monarchy are closely linked. They have had many coups d'état. It is not that it was a successor to the throne, it was simply the army that removed the monarch.

I have been doing a lot of research before writing this and have not found that there has been a power struggle between the heirs.

There will obviously be a lot of changes here because it will be told from the perspective of Thai history. It really may be that the fourth prince does not have the same role, since Thai history differs greatly from Chinese and Korean history. Maybe we will discover things about the country that the general public does not know about the history of Thailand and that is great.

That said, perhaps the role of the fourth prince does not have as many nuances as the original work. And if he has these nuances then Win will have to work much harder, because the role of the fourth prince is special and very difficult to play.
We can't do anything about it because the casting has already been chosen.

All that remains is to trust that the director handles the story well and knows how to guide the actors so that the result is satisfactory.

But I have read very unfortunate comments, whether they want to or not, they mess with Korean history and this is not right.

We can all have different opinions but please don't overdo it.

Exact. He has never left his comfort zone. If he wants to live up to his predecessors, he must practice a lot and improve his performance, since the role of the fourth prince and is not easy at all.

It's a joke hahahaha but I'll really be angry. I don't think there is an actor on GMMTV who is at Xu Kai's level.

Besides, they would have to spend a lot of money. Did you see the graphics in Falling in your smiling? They are incredible. In addition to the scenarios, everything is very good, not only am I talking about the chemistry and romance, I also talked about how cyber sports are very well represented. Which I think would be too much for Thailand.

When you make a remake, whether you like it or not, you have to maintain the essence. You can make changes but not so drastic because otherwise it wouldn't be a remake. It would be another series that is not linked to the original version.

Do you read what you write? I only wrote three comments, I don't come here every week to rant, for God's sake. Don't cross the limits.

That you are a toxic fan who can't see the problems in a series and only hate people who have a different point of view makes you have a big problem, not me. Therefore, many people are afraid to comment and say their true opinion. For people like you.

But you're not going to shut me up, I know how to deal with blind and toxic fans quite well and I'm not afraid of people like you.

You know what freedom of expression is, right? Everyone can express what they want when they see something and you must learn to respect that.

I am not going to recommend something that is honestly poorly acted and poorly executed. And you must also learn to respect that.

Whether I see a remake or not is my problem. Always when I see a remake of a series that I like being made I go and watch it because I like to see different changes, meet new actors and the final result. And what is wrong for you? Please introspect yourself to find out why it bothers you so much when people don't think the same as you. And just jump in with stupid "haters are always going to hate lol" arguments. That is not a foundation.

I believe the same. I've never seen Tu interact with Win in another drama, so I'm not sure how this is going to work.

I think Bright was the best suited for the role of the fourth prince. He has shown many facets and I truly believe that he is a much better actor because he has had a lot of chemistry with his co-star and has presented several facets.

But since he is no longer under the GMMTV label, and is only joined by two films that are going to be released, it was impossible for him to take this role because he has completely separated himself from GMMTV. It's a shame.

As for Tu... I don't know if choice was the right one. Maybe I would have preferred to take the Bua role, I know she's older but I really don't think that would be an impediment. She is a great actress but since she does not work with GMMTV, it is impossible.

I'm sorry but that's not the case. Nobody wants a remake to be the same. People don't hate for the sake of hating.

The thing is that the protagonists really have no chemistry and Dew acts badly and Prim is not "cute" as she should be.

Stop justifying things as silly as "people hate for the sake of hating." And really read why people are criticizing this remake.

I won't give my verdict yet because the cover sounds promising and I'm also interested in the chemistry that could happen between Tu and Win.

But I don't know how they are going to do it because the history of China and Korea are similar but the history of Thailand is not, so I am curious how they are going to recreate the scenario.

I hope it's not another disappointment. Because lately Thailand only makes very bad remakes.

Look, they had the audacity to make a remake of Scarlet Heart, how the hell are they going to make a historical drama if Thailand doesn't have even the slightest resemblance to Chinese and Korean history? Right now, when they're making so many remakes like crazy, I wouldn't be surprised if they did. If they do, I'm really going to kill them.
