I love your comment! As a fellow PondPhuwin fan I can only agree. I don't care about what anyone says and I hope NLMG will do well enough for them to get a third series together. :D

It's been more than 12 hours since the subs disappeared for me (Germany) and so far, nothing has happened. I guess gmmtv are not reading the desperate messages on YouTube, because the comments to all 4 parts are full with people complaining about it. :)

What's interesting is that the views, at least for the first two parts of episoide 4, are still good or at least not worse than for the previous episodes. I was expecting people not to watch when they can't get what is being said.

Without PondPhuwin, I wouldn't be enjoying this half as much. I've loved Phuwin since FUTS and don't get the criticism about his acting, he was great as Pi and here he delivers, too. I think he is portraying that mixture of hidden hopeless anger, insecurity, vulnerability and brattiness perfectly.

And I see a lot of comments praising the side (future) couple and so far I see nothing happenning between them that would get me interested or invested. Are they really that great? The guy who plays Ben, sure, but I couldn't care less about whether he'll end up with Chopper or not. Chopper's character was not even in the first trailer. I guess it's nice they have a love interest for Ben, but the side couple is definitely not why I've been waiting for this to air for a year.

I see constantly people praising the side couples in pretty much every show I watch and so far, I almost never get it. I guess I'm a main couple type of person. :) The notable exceptions were the main couple in My Engineer, because they were simply awful, and in Don't Say No, because I really disliked one of the mains.

BTW, neither part of The Warp Effect has subs, even though it's been out since yesterday.

In the mean time, the subs for part 1 are gone, too. Seriously, are they still not completely sober after celebrating the new year, or what?

How is it possible to lose subs that were there before?

Nah, I'll wait, because I want my views to count for this one. NLMG is doing well on YouTube, but still... It's so annoying, though, because the subs were there when I watched it one hour ago, wth are they doing, how is it possible to mess it up?

I want to rewatch and the subs for part 2 have disappeared, although they were there before :( Guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

I loved the episode. From the beginning to the end, there was no wasted second.

For me it's clear that Nueng doesn't know Palm is into him and is flattered by Ben's attention. I also think he does like Ben, at least enough to try, although it's clear to him that the one he's attracted to is Palm. Palm is, however, someone who works for him and behaves all shy and insecure around him and there's no way for Nueng to know for sure whether Palm is just doing his job or he genuinely cares about him. Nueng is well aware that no one except his mother loves him and it's no wonder he wants to give Ben a chance. It's so heartbreaking.

That being said, despite everything, Nueng being a self-entitled and spoiled brat came out at the end. I get that he was drunk and that he's generally a good person, but falling in love with his bodyguard is not enough to erase the upbringing he's had. He's someone who is used to getting his way and when it didn't work, he became irrational and cruel. I trust that with time, this will gradually decrease when Palm and Nueng come together. I admit I don't want the brattiness to disappear completely, though, it's part of his charme for me and it's what makes the character unique. When it's not malicious, I'm ok with it, the Palm/Nueng dialogues were very entertaining before.

Why didn't anyone stop these guys from hurting Palm, it felt like they kept kicking him for minutes.

That Ben/Nueng kiss was so awkward, but I liked it, it was exactly as a first kiss between two not very experienced boys, one of which is actually into someone else, should be. I'm glad it happened, the Nueng/Ben thing had to go somewhere, it's been there since episode 1. Hopefully it will be over by the next episode and we'll get a better kiss. :)

PondPhuwin are electric on screen, I love them! The actor who plays Ben is also very, very good.

So, will a Ben/Nueng kiss happen or not?

I admit I kinda want it to happen, just to spice things up. Most folks on twitter disagree. ;)

Yes, it was love at first sight for Palm, and for me it was obvious. In fact, Palm was way more transparent about it the first time they met than Nueng was.

Both are very different and hard to compare. I personally prefer NLMG because I adore Pond and Phuwin together and the story appeals more to me, but this is a personal preference and it doesn't mean I don't like MSP. I say, let's watch and enjoy both, we're very lucky we get not one, but two good shows at the same time.

Unlike everybody here, I still like Ben, in fact, one of my favourite scenes in this episode was Nueng staring at Mackie and Palm dancing with that stony and pissed off expression, while Ben stood looking at the same scene with a smug smirk on his face, the contrast between them was striking. I didn't get Ben's admittedly extreme hostility towards Palm at first until I rewatched episodes 2 and 3 more carefully. Palm very obiously distrusted him when they met the first time, and then Ben caught Palm smiling dreamily at Nueng while he was playing the piano. I think Ben is smart enough to get what's going on and that Palm likes Nueng. Of course, the noble thing would be to back off, but I actually like that he doesn't, we need real characters with faults.

I'm really curious about what Chopper meant when he said that getting close to Ben doesn't last long, though.

OMG, why is Mackie calling the dance students "elderly" all the time, what's with that? What's the definition of elderly people in Thailand, everybody over the age of 35?

Palm's father has to be officially the most annoying character ever and I really hope Palm will get to give Nueng a loong and passionate kiss in front of him just because I'll enjoy to see his head exploding.

Yeah, why are all episodes (badly) rated, although only two episodes have aired?

I love Pond and Phuwin. <3 I think they might be my favourite gmmtv couple. I miss them so much that an episode a week is not enough and I've started a rewatch of Fish Upon the Sky.

Nueng is in core a good and generous person, but the privilege in his upbringing was so obvious in this episode. He wanted Palm to have breakfast with him, but didn't think of going to the kitchen with him instead of forcing him to share his table. Despite being bullied and guarded, at the same time he's also used to getting what he wants. If it doesn't work, he finds no other solution except of giving an order.

It physically hurt me to see how distrustful Nueng was to Ben whom I continue to love. Unlike many, I don't see anything shady in Ben's behaviour except him having a crush and trying to approach the guy he likes. Palm's "distrust" of Ben's intentions was nothing but pure jealousy and no one can convince me otherwise.

The fathers in this series are competing for the award of the worst father ever. I dislike both of them, almost as much as I like Tanya.

Peat had the hardest role of them all (followed by Fort) and he delivered. This is all I have to say on the matter.

Phuwin is perfect for the role of a rich boy. His whole demeanor screams rich without him having to say or do anything.

I was surprised that Phuwin's character is, at least in this first episode, similar to his previous main role as Pi in FUTS. A lonely, isolated, guarded boy, although for different reasons, and he wasn't impressed with his LI at the beginning either, although here I think he was trying to get Palm to confess and this is mainly why he was rude to him. I loved these two in FUTS and can't wait to see more of them here.

Ben is really likable, I loved him, and it seems that the love triangle from the first trailer will happen after all, something I'm personally very happy about.

Together with The Eclipse, this was my most anticipated series from GMMTV this year and it's finally coming! I can't wait!

I loved it! My babies Sky and Prapai are sweet and hot and equally possessive and I stan. After episode 13, I needed that. Also, now that Sky feels secure in his relationship, he showed his real sassy nature. I so knew he would chase that girl away from Prapai.

They are in my top 3 couples for this year and the only thing I´m sorry about is that they didn´t get a full series. I have to give it to Mame, she knows how to pick them.

It was a somehow silly episode, but I recommend it anyway, for its cuteness and humour. There is a very romantic scene at the end. Also, there are NC scenes, for each couple. ;)

Hm, I really want to see it legally, but it's quite expensive for these of us who are interested in only one of the couples. 12,51 € for a little more than half an hour airing time for Sky and Prapai is a lot. I normally pay that much for a normal-length movie in the cinema.

Anyway, I'll think about it, there's still time.

Of course there were tears. There were tears in all of his crying scenes in episode 13, too, especially in the after-nightmare scene, it was clear to see. Just because he was not drowning in them it doesn't mean they were not there.
