I feel like episode 3 really changed things for me. In my opinion episodes 1 & 2 really weren’t that special and were quite messy - and looking back this series was really just finding it’s footing in those first 2 episodes, but from episode 3 onwards JoongDunks chemistry has been shining and there have been so many seriously adorable moments between Joke and Zo. I’m really a fan of this now!
I thought there’s still a danmei adaptation filming ban in China? But maybe they ended that and it’s just that they’re illegal to air in China? Or maybe they could film season 2 in Taiwan! I don’t know! so much new info has come out suddenly.
It’s very sweet that SeungHo shared that tomorrow it’ll be their 200th day officially dating! crazy that they’ve been dating for over 6 months! But he also shared that him and JunSeung feel uncomfortable posting couple photo’s because of the prejudice that is still very present in Korea - so people really really need to understand their choice to not post. If you’re a fan just be happy that they are happy, travelling and living their everyday together - that’s all fans of them could hope for!
this was such a beautiful film. the only actors I knew of beforehand were Andy Huang and Esther Huang - the majority of the cast aren’t professional actors, but I loved this film the family was so beautifully portrayed. And the middle section of the film - when Andy Huangs character showed up - was probably my favourite, that was the funniest section of the film - him only speaking English and the family trying to communicate with him and bond with him was hilarious - the whole audience was cracking up!
So beautiful and heartbreaking. The chemistry between the two leads is insane. You know how it’s going to end from the moment the film starts, but that doesn’t make the journey any less impactful. In the Q&A today director also told a cute story about the “young” versions of the leads. In the call back auditions they asked the boy to completely improvise a speech to convince the girl (auditioning for young Nora) to not leave Korea and he did so well the girl in the audition started crying and begged the writer/director to not let Nora leave. They obviously cast them but told the girl Nora has to leave Korea - so sweet! Also that Yoo Teo did such an incredible job throughout the shoot portraying this very shy, quiet, sensitive character that at the wrap party when he completely dropped the character they were all shocked how different his personality was.
I forgot that Taiwanese dramas can sometimes take almost as long as cdramas to air after they’ve been filmed - About Youth took literally over a year. Really hope that’s not the case with this one!
just binged the first 4 episodes - really didn’t want to stop, but it’s 3am! So good so far. The leads relationship is so adorable and feels real - I love their chemistry! Excited to see where this goes!
one of the actors said there could be a season 2? And that there will be a happy ending and that their kiss will be “according to emotion” - what does according to emotion mean!?!?
wow! this film emotionally destroyed me. I was crying non-stop through out the final part - and I continued to cry for about an hour after. But that final section also had some of the most adorable and sweet moments too. It’s a very very dark and tough watch, but it’s worth watching to see these rare beautiful moments that our characters share - but those beautiful moments also make it even more painful! I’m in love with this film. I wish I could watch it again right now!
woah! he’s joined GMMTV! Didn’t expect that. I wonder if he’ll become part of the bl crew or not? really interested to see who they’ll partner him up with girl or guy.
I really thought Khaotung and First’s story was going to be a very small part of this series in comparison to ForceBooks and I wasnt too excited by the dynamic of ForceBooks relationship in this. So I wasn’t really looking forward to it, but surprisingly Khaotung and First were the stars of that trailer. I still like my series to be a little sweeter and I hate seeing First play another character going through so much emotional pain, BUT I am a little excited for this now.
the rating for this changes so drastically each week. clearly at the beginning a lot of people were upset thinking it would just be your typical censored bromance, but also it seems like everyone seems to agree that it gets better and better every week.
Yay! I can’t believe we have been confirmed a GeminiFourth 2024 series in July of 2023! So many of GMMTVs 2023 series are currently filming meaning that 23.5 which has just started filming is slated to be released in 2024. So if Gemini and Fourth are going into preproduction preparations in August their series will definitely be announced in GMMTVs 2024 lineup, but it’ll be already filmed meaning that in December we will get the official trailer rather than pilot trailer and it’ll probably be the first project in GMMTVs 2024 lineup to air. And the fact Gemini has revealed it’s a really well known novel! The rumoured novel sounds AMAZING!
I am so happy to say I am loving Film here. It is very clear why he has been the lead in so many more mainstream lakorns. I wasn’t the biggest fan of his characters self sacrificing tendencies, but he was still very good in To Sir, With Love, but it was such a stiff/perfect character - but in Laws of Attraction he’s the complete opposite to that and he’s doing an incredible job. The man has RANGE!
In my opinion this series is the definition of wasted potential. This has a pretty good cast and the 2 leads have really nice chemistry. But for a romantic series it felt like so little time was spent on the evolution of the leads romantic relationship. And I honestly could not tell you what happened in the first 9 episodes - they were all insanely long too. I feel like Pat could've sorted out his feelings for Put and "matured" so much earlier so that we could've seen him slowly, but reluctantly actually grow feelings for Jeng, because I was honestly kind of surprised to find out he liked him. Also the episodes were way too long - they could've been the typical 45mins and I feel like the story would be the same, but we would loose all the unenjoyable filler this series is overflowing with. I LOVED the couple-y moments between the leads and I thought those were by far the strongest moments of the whole series, but we only got that for 2 episodes! This could've been good, but it was an overly long self indulgent mess. I used to like this director, but I think he needs a better editor that says no to him more. I really hope he hasn't done this to 'I Feel You Linger In the Air' too, because that's been my most anticipated series for a long time. But I do have to say Bruce was fantastic in this - he stole every single scene he was in.
This was much better than i was expecting after reading the comments here. There are some pretty obvious post-production errors, but that's not surprising considering how much they've rushed this series release. But essentially this is just a silly romcom, with pretty likable characters and leads with good chemistry, I don't think it's going to be anyones favourite series but I do think it's better than quite a few of the other thai bls that have been released so far this year.
I just realised that one of the leads was the classmate of Sang Zhi’s that had a crush on her in Hidden Love (which is my favourite cdrama of all time) he was so adorable in HL. Now I just have to watch this.
