I feel like if you make a sequel to a series, it should be faithful to the nature of the original. If you're going to take something light, funny, and cute, and then turn it into something dark, heavy, and despressing, just don't. Make a totally different story with different characters so that you aren't creating an expectation and disappointing it. I got through five minutes of ep 5 and gave up.

You think Barcode's acting sucks?!? He's superb - his confession to Kim was so painfully awkward and authentic - everything he does is. He and Jeff are so good that it highlights the mediocre acting of everyone else. Nobody is embarassing, and they're all plenty good enough for a show like this, but there's not a lot of range being shown.

I don't know - this show is getting tiring. I feel like it needs more discipline and less self-indulgence. The central mystery that Kim is investigating is interesting, and Jeff & Barcode's acting is on a whole different level then everyone else's - so there's that. And Vegas & Pete are interesting, but the violence is actually kind of childish and tiresome. What's interesting about them isn't the cheap porn S&M, it's the psychological interplay, which I wish the story would lean more heavily upon.

I don't actually really care much about Kinn & Porsche - their interaction was interesting in the earlier episodes, but neither of them really matter to the plot, which is odd, given the title.

I think you're doing Jeff's acting a disservice - watch it again and study his face closely.

Old.

As far as we know, nobody is cheating. Dao and Tee broke up, and we don't know Nine's relationship status. The only confirmed cheater is Nine's whatever she is.

Do you mean the part of the score at the end?

I don't even understand what I'm watching. One minute Nine is being cold to his ex and telling her to leave, and the next he's all lovey with her in bed. The special episode was so wonderful, and this is just boring and pointless.

And if they subtitle the sign with the company's name on it which is IN ENGLISH one more time, I'll scream. It wouldn't bother me if the rest of the subtitles made sense.

I think it's Thai dramas. For some reason, they feel the need to have everyone pause for 15 minutes between each phrase they speak.

I would watch the special epsiode and then don't bother with the series. Just pretend they live happily ever after.

If you don't pretend this is good - at all - and just go with it and look at all the pretty boys, it's entertaining enough a watch. Normally I would have no patience for a series like this, but there's some pretty intense cute boy action going on here.

This isn't very good, but there sure is a lot of eye-candy. I have a crush on Park - so beautiful and great legs. Earth's, um, hindquarters are perfect. And I love Daniel Chang - he has such good ocmic timing.

"A few" of the same old tropes?

Cheap, yes. Quick, no. :) But I agree the acting is good. There was a spot or two where I felt Mark acting, and I'm not sure Mek has a broad range, but they're both good and they have way more chemistry than anyone did in Star In My Mind. Part of that is probably Mek's heavy sex appeal, but I really like this couple.

It's the very fact that it's short that makes me not like the huge amount of time they spent on Yaya. All of that time could have been spent on character and relationship devlopment between Fah and Prince - instead it was thown away on people chasing around a silly girl who served no real purpose other than pushing our lead couple together, which could have been done with a different plot device that centered on them, or just drama generated from their diffrence in personalities.

Probably some people downvoted it after the first ep, which I really didn't like, but the second one was great. There are only 15 votes registered so far, so the score is meaningless. Check back tomorrow and it will be 8.3 or 8.4.

Wow, the second episode was so much better than the first - I was afraid this would be a total mess after that. The psycho thing was a little OTT, but the emotion and acting around it were excellent, and it was well-directed.

Ah. I was complaining about that too. I don't think it was intended that way, but it definitely came off as non-consensual, or at least very dubious. Alcohol doesn't make you hallucinate, so I was bothered by how ridiculous that was. And in Ep 2 Mark says they were both drunk, but isn't that even worse? That means Vee was drunk driving and putting Mark's life at severe risk, again without consent - and in any case we weren't shown that he was drunk - in fact he was behaving like he was totally sober. And that's not even addressing the cheating.

So my opinion is that this was a poorly written mess. The second ep was much better, but it seems to me that just a little change could have made that scene much more acceptable and realistic. First, they both needed to be drunk, and second, Mark shouldn't have thought Vee was someone else. They could have woken up the next morning regretting what they did.

I feel sorry for her - she must get a lot of hate, lol.

If we're not supposed to care about anything, what is the point? That's an extermal factor throwing the characters togther rather than a character-driven development of their relationship, which is bad writing.

They do seem equally bad. All that they needed to do was have them both clearly drunk, maybe made Vee's "fight" with his girlfriend worse, and they have sex and regret it in the morning. All this thinking he's someone else stuff is silly. Also, Vee just got home, so the beer bottles didn't really work - those would have to be old.

As it is now, they're both terrible people, although Mark is only a whiney little brat whereas Vee is a cheating rapist-ish person.
