Thanks!

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.

LMFAO! You're soooo right!

Agreed! LMBO!!!!

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!

Agreed!

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.

Good points!

OK. I get it. This special is basically an over-the-top melodrama version of Cutie Pie. First, Kuea is conflicted in having to choose between his career as Kirin or his marriage to Lian. WTF, Kuea can't be married AND have a career!!?? Second, Kuea acts like a virgin to Lian before their wedding night "wanting IT to be special!" Again, wtf, the two of them "banged" in S1 and they've been together for two years, or was that a "dream sequence?" LMBO! Third, Nuer and Syn have been together two years and STILL have not slept together AND they waited that long to begin "practicing" for the "big event." Wow! Finally, watching Yi and Khon Daio be as stilted as they were when they first got together. What"? No progression for them after two years, too! At first, I thought this "special" was kind of interestingly cute. Now, it's totally something else! What, I have no idea? But at least it's entertaining and gives its fans a "kind-of-sort-of S2," which I guess isn't so bad. HaHaHa!

Really interesting analysis!

Hmm! Interesting points.

Agreed!

Agreed!

Now, let's just hope the writers decided to put just a little "realism" in this series, such as the gang that locked Lin Huai in the freezer either being fired, arrested or both! Remember, the manager HEARED them himself.

Yeah, you're right! I forgot about that.

I agree on all points. I believe it is "different" from other HIStory series in both tone and feel. Previous HIStory series had a dramatic intent (even though some of them had comic elements within them), certainly unlike the "overexaggerated acting and melodrama" you noted. I like that analysis by the way! LMBO! But, I also agree that it is now getting more into the "groove" of previous HIStory series. There's still 12 eps. to go, so I guess will see.

Yep. And, I think it's because they "adapted" too much from the novel and trying to make it different from UWMA (which I really liked and thought was interesting).

You know, you have a point there.
