this show was a huge mess.
this show is perfect for everyone who enjoys a lack of depth in their main characters and a mess of a storyline. anyone else: stay clear of this show. honestly, did the directors do any directing? i know for sure that they messed up filming and the postproduction had to clean up their mess XD
plot and genre:
plot-wise, this was a huge mess… the plot holes really made this a really difficult universe to jump into. and i am not talking about the omegaverse because we all know how wide of a genre it is and how everyone has their own vision on how an omegaverse is.
from what i understood, in “knot” the omegas, alphas and betas live alongside other “normal” people. some people are just born with a secondary gender and some are not.
so the first thing that didn’t make sense to me at all is why tf phatsa had zero idea on secondary genders??? that guy went to school and college and he hasn’t heard anything??? also they mention that a lot of crimes happen to omegas so wouldn’t that be on the news and discussed nationally?? honestly this really made no sense whatsoever… it’s not like it’s only one or two families that have a secondary gender, it’s most of the nation. and the audacity that phatsa has to blame his father for it all… PHATSA YOU ARE JUST IGNORANT AND DUMB
in this universe alphas and omegas can bond but not betas with either. there isn’t really a concept of a pack or packmates in the sense of betas can be included in an alpha-omega relationship but ok it’s they way this show wants to roll. honestly this makes me question the role of a beta in “knot”.. is it really a secondary gender if there is nothing different from beta and a person without a secondary gender??
other than that, the pacing was really off throughout the show, some scenes were so rushed and some dragged for way too long. we don’t need a NC-scene every episode I BEG. also, why open a new plot line at the very end of the show? they just dropped the pregnancy and the worries they have for it then ended the show like that ?? what am i supposed to do with this information now ?
yeah, so it felt really rushed.
nakhun/phatsa:
phatsa was forcefully bonded to nakhun. that is assault whether this is a fictional omegaverse story or not and phatsa’s dad is the only one who sees this. and adding the the concept of fated mates was really just a way to justify the whole plot… don’t get me wrong, it’s a great concept and i loved that phatsa and nakhun can feel each other’s pain and feelings. but this being the justification for assaulting and violently marking an omega is wrong.
i believe the show, made a good point in making phatsa very wary and opposed to nakhun in the first episodes even though after like three episodes he was like “oh i want to stay with him” but then after an episode he calls nakhun a dog XD he is definitely confused on where he stands in this relationship.
another thing that annoyed me the entire watch, is the way phatsa BARELY defended himself and his relationship with nakhun in front of his own father… that’s literally your husband that is getting rejected by your father, SAY SOMETHING USEFUL.
now more on their relationship. honestly other than the fight scene with tim, i haven’t seen phatsa caring about nakhun as much as there are scenes where nakhun shows his love. yes, there is the scene where phatsa gets jealous because of the business meeting at the hotel, but that was really just a projection of an insecurity instead of an act of love. there were just no rememberable scenes where their love for each other was shown in a way other than NC-scenes… especially the NC-scene after nakhun got shot??? who approved that scene??
anyways, it really made it hard for me to believe that it wasn’t just a one-sides love or that they truly love each other outside of their roles as soulmates.
in my opinion, the fight scene marks the beginning of their actual romance, because that’s where i see the mutual love and worry for each other. it’s the way they fight and risk their own lives for each other but at the same time we see the way that they are each other’s weaknesses- ugh such a good scene. it’s such a shame that the build up was not as good and the aftermath was also mehhhh
nakhun had little character development and depth but he wasn’t as insufferable as phatsa XD
nakhin/ongsa:
they are the ideal couple in this universe. honestly, an alpha and a beta falling in love despite social expectations is interesting to watch. and the way nakhin actually respected boundaries and did everything the right way was the only thing that helped me while watching this show. he was the only not toxic person on there. nakhin has his life figured out and knows exactly what he wants. ongsa has a cafe and is following his own path. nakhin helps ongsa through his insecurities and they build their relationship together. they are equal to each other and that’s what makes them so much stronger than the other relationships.
the only flaw ongsa had was when he outed phatsa’s gender like that XD
naphtich/saengnuea:
…
in the first episodes i pitied naphtich. he was misunderstood by his family and treated like a dog by his father. no one talked to him or shown him any empathy. the only guy who showed him respect outside if their home was saengnuea, so he enjoyed being with him. they quickly hit it off… and at the end he got betrayed by the person he thought liked him…
saengnuea is honestly inherently evil. nothing can justify what he has done. he played both tim and mai and caused tim’s death and their family’s doom. he chose to cause chaos and more misery to the others without caring about any real justice. honestly his real problem is capitalism XD
so after all of that, why does naphtich mark saengnuea???
artistically it’s symbolic to the way that saengnuea has used his body and omega to fight his way through and get things done, being marked literally cages him and stops him from doing anything to others. he can’t use his powers to cause any harm to others anymore and he is trapped within naphtich’s territory and would have to stay close to him to not get ill. he can’t escape. but at the same time, this is still freaking assault. naphtich marked him forcefully without any consent. this is the decision that made me change my opinion on naphtich… this guy as well as his brother nakhun are abusers, I don’t care what the circumstances were, they made their choices and it was the wrong ones.
filming/editing:
there were some scenes in the show that were filmed in questionable angles… like in ep 3 when amintra was first introduced, they did her so dirty.. and then in episode 9 as naphtich, ongsa and nakhin confront saengnuea, saengnuea is filmed from a very weird angle.. it made him seem as if he was looking past the three of the guys and talking to a fourth person XD
the greenscreen on the car scenes were also lacking..
not going to lie, a lot of the scenes were unnecessary… a shows doesn’t need so many NC-scenes to be good. the 10th episode really felt like a filler episode with the long dialogues that didn’t get anywhere…
at the same time, there are also some scenes that are noticeably cut shorter. that makes me wonder if those cut parts could’ve possibly helped with the storyline..
other characters:
the mom’s character was honestly so well done. she had few screen time but her story had the most depth. she literally grew from being a wife to an alpha to being her own independent woman. honestly i loved all her scenes and her authenticity was so well presented. the actress studied the character so well and executed the role perfectly!! i really liked the scene where she confronts her husband and divorces him right on the spot. YOU GO QUEEN!!! she was so sweet and adorable to her kids and sons in law, and she always knew right from wrong but she just never had the courage to do anything until she did :)
her husband on the other hand… um… well… he didn’t even apologise… let’s leave it at that. i don’t want to list more negative stuff about this shows for like the fifth time now…
i needed more amintra. she like was there for 5 minutes only. i loved her chemistry with nakhin so much and honestly would’ve loved to see them plan things together. SHE DESERVED MORE SCENES!!! it was not enough… especially more scenes with kingyok, there were like zero cute moments of them
last thoughts:
characters are not meant to be relatable or even enjoyed, but the least they need to be able to be understood by the watcher. we should have enough information about them to UNDERSTAND their situation and story. phatsa, nakhun, naphtich and saengnuea were meant to be understood, and well…. good job director!!! because i fully understood those characters!!! they are mr. insufferable, mr. no personality, mr. alpha and mr. omega !!! they never changed and never will and that’s the point, right director???
thank you for everyone who hyped this up (you know who you are), you guys should never be allowed to recommend shows ever again because this was truly a wild nonsensical ride.
