Exactly... Let me add on to this...pooh can't act, period. Also a case is going on, people are dying, more on…
Yeah, the situation is too serious, and they don't act like it. Like they had the lightest reaction to the bodies hanging from a tree, that's like super messed up and not at all normal, yet they were like, "yep, just another case, kinda creepy but whatevs." Spare me your mercy is on my watchlist and I have higher hopes for it, as it is a shorter show and that's always a good sign, but it's gonna take a while to start a new thai show, as I'm tired of disappointment. Your comment gives me some hope though.

At first I liked him, because I realized even if the actors are not very good, acting scared seems to be an easier emotion to make, and I think he nailed it well and it worked okay for me. And then I realized that when he is not acting scared, he is... not... acting, like at all, just blankly looking at the other characters. And yes, he has a pretty face, but that's not enough for me to keep looking at wood acting. If you only watch thai shows, I think you'd definitely find this show a step-up, the production in higher budget, the camerawork, mic quality is better than in a lot of other shows, and they tried to put some actual plot into it, which is also not very common in the thai bl genre, so if you are coming from this world, I understand, and I do appriciate that they tried something different, but it's still a very very low effort, small step into the right direction.
not hating but getting to know each-other is pretty much every bl not just thai jbls kbls do it should look outside…
I think you misunderstood, I wasn't looking for a police show, I wanted to see a good romance with a plot, just how the show was advertising itself. I was hoping that maybe if a thai show had a driving plot, the writing would be better between the characters. Was not=hence the disappointment. There are very good, solid cutesy k/j-bls, with not much plot, it's totally fine to make something kinda cheesy in the romance genre, I love it a lot, it's totally possible to make a fluffy romance very enjoyable and have entertaining conversations about sweet nothings without it being EXTREMELY boring, I just haven't yet met anything like that in thai bls.
pretty sure someone said it in the comments that the focus was too much on the story and less on the romance. pffft that was a LIE. that I believed and it made me hopeful that it's gonna be different from the other slow paced, nothing happens, guys looking at each other and talk about nothing thai bl dramas, and even though it started out interesting, like for an episode or two the story was indeed more in the focus, and that also gave the characters more depth, and to actually talk about something of relevance while getting closer to each other, now I'm at ep6 and it feels like that direction has been heavily abandoned... back to being boring thai bl stuff, started skipping those scenes, because the acting in them is so weak, and there is just such a nothing burger for them to talk about that it's sooooo boring omg. I swear these writers always think that people get to know each other just buy talking about - "have you eaten yet?" - "what do you want to eat?" - "are you okay?" and the variations of these a million times... ugh. SO BORING! I liked the premise, but the execution is the same old formula from what I've seen, and I can't put up with it any longer. Also makes the whole thing less believable when the police+coroner team is full of young, pretty boys, with heavy makeup, and some having the usual plastic surgery face. I keep giving thai bl a chance when I see something with somewhat of a different concept than soft prn, but I always end up disappointed... blessed be the day when I ever stumble upon a decent thai bl drama.
(commenting this everywhere)feel like I’ve watched every good BL that exists and now I’m actually stuck……
my man, if you want actual good acting where you believe the mains feel something, you gotta drop thai stuff... no hate, but that's more of a soft prn category, but if you like the erotic stuff, then you have no choice, you gotta go through a lot of trash to find a gem that actualy tries to convey actual emotions/story. You can check out my bl list if you wanna try not thai series, they are less erotic (and less boring), but more adorable.
okay, so I had to drop this. they started doing the stupid misunderstandings and stuff from the second half, and I can't take it, and I also think FL looks so old with her new look, it's horrible, honestly it feels like the two mains just don't match, like I keep thinking of her being his mother instead of a love interest... also she feels so different now, she was a more pure, full of energy character before, and now she just feels too "cool" and refined. Yeah, not like this show was amazing from the start, but it had some potential, but all that was drained out of it by now.
just started ep1 and omg FL looks so adorable, it's so refreshing to see some personality in looks, and not the usual "pretty" stereotype they usually make of the actresses. I swear if they do a makeover and turn her into that I'll be so pissed!!
so I think it happened in episode 8 or 7, but it was the most underwhelming getting together from the mains... I mean writing wise. Like omg, they didn't even talk over anything that happened, or properly have normal conversations not just about the past but the present too or anything, it just feels very shallow and empty, the young selves had much more depth and a proper connection, just because these are the same people, it's hard to pretend that they still have those things when 18 years passed without them meeting... like uh, I'm 30 and I think in a lot of different ways than I did when I was 18, I know much more, I've been through much more, I'm less naive, and have more hurt, I have different dreams and ambitions, I gained more likes and interests, like uh, if were to meet someone from that time who knew me well, they would have to relearn a lot of things about me and get to know the new me, like we can't just pick up where we left off??? I dunno, I'm skipping through episode 9 atm and I'm seriously considering dropping the drama, it just doesn't really make me feel anymore, I feel like I'm watching two strangers pretending to be in love.
teen girl: don't ever contact me again!! >:((( also teen girl 5 minutes later: why awen't you calling me baby~? uwu teen romance is just something else man... I'm so happy I'm an adult now and we are through that phase with my husband since 12 years ago. so much easier after you learn to properly communicate your emotions omg.
yeah, dunno why this is a trope, but braces are worn so your teeth are going to pretty... removing the braces works against the "this will make you pretty" logic. also I think braces are cute. yeah that was my braces rant.
yeah, but it sounds pretty cringe, like I imagine it like the rapping dog in that awful titanic animated movie, though I suppose here it's probably different, still seemed goofy as hell when I first read this sentence.
