I think part of it is his young age tbh, he’s a great actor, but gmmtv love typecasting actors. I’ve seen…
Agreed! Especially, Phuwin. That young man can play piano and guitar, sing, as well as having a very good command of English, and Cantonese. GMMTV is wasting his potential.
Tbh, I actually liked the Win/Team characters. Their story did have some depth to it -- much more so than we were led to believe in UWMA. And, I think that's the I problem I have with this. If we had been given a "better" glimpse into the issues with Win/Team, this series probably would have made much more sense, as well as a better connection. But instead, we got all of this depth + all of the additional side couples, and a series that was dragged out beyond belief. We can't even call it a season 2 because it supposedly takes place in the same universe and timeline as UWMA. All I can say is WTF! Maybe instead of having the stories parallel, maybe the Win/Team should have picked up where it left off in UMWA and gone "forward" from there introducing all of their drama as the beginning of their story. THEN, we would actually have a season 2 without necessarily relying on the happenings of UWMA. Just one person's opinion. Please don't hate on me. LMBO!!!
I know many enjoyed this series, while others like me found it boring, bloated with extra side couples, etc. IMO, it lacked all that made UMWA pretty good. It was like it was a totally "different" story unto itself, which would've been fine "if it weren't interconnected to UMWA." Wabi Sabi hyped up the Team/Win story and then gave all that extra "bloat", which IMO wasn't needed or wanted. If they had just focused on the Team/Win story solely, it would've cut the series down to about 4-6 or possibly 6-8 eps and it might've been much better.
Thi is not 5+ years older than Noey though.....it has been mentioned a few times here that their age gap is not…
Hmmm. Not really sure how old Thi and Noey are -- you're right, they never really say. Good point -- different cultures, different choices. But in most situations time from being a HS junior to university senior is about (5) years. That's where I got that from. My bad if it's not accurate. LOL!
I dropped this series early on because the it made me uncomfortable in a cringy kind of way. Thi being around 5+ years older than Noey wouldn't have bothered me if Noey wasn't a junior in high school and Thi a senior in college. I felt the same way with HIStory3 MDC with Lu Zhing and Sun Bo. I know that they say age "is just a number." But, when you're in high school and your partner is a senior in college or beyond, it can be a very important number, cultural differences notwithstanding. Maturity also plays an important role.
WHAT!!?? No punishment (at all) for locking a fellow employee in a freezer! That's BS! I'd hate to work for that department store. But, then again, it's a different culture, so maybe its okay! Hmmm? LMBO!
The whole "boyfriend while on the island" routine seemed too much like the same situation as "Pi and Mork" in Fish Upon the Sky -- where they had a "probationary" relationship. Hmmm!
Since the first episode, I've been feeling like this is a throwback to History1: My Hero. Remember it had that…
Hmm. I can see that about H4. The company, IMO, went "off the rails with that one with the whole drunk rape scene by the adopted brother. Definitely not the like the HIStorys of the past.
