Kemjira sitting at 8.7 should already tell you ratings aren’t about quality, they’re about fandom noise. So yeah… not surprised at all.

Ratings don’t always reflect quality, they reflect fandom behaviour. A show like ''Love Upon a Time'' getting dragged down to an 8 says more about toxic shipping culture than the actual series. When people are busy hate-spamming instead of judging writing, cinematography, or acting, of course the score drops. Meanwhile, something like ''Duang With You'' doesn’t have that kind of obsessive crowd nitpicking every frame, so it floats higher.

I get what you mean, but expecting the exact same emotions everywhere isn’t really realistic. Even in real life, we don’t feel or express things the same way in every situation, so a character definitely won’t, especially in a completely different drama and genre. And in this case, the story hasn’t even reached that deeper emotional or intimate stage yet. Those moments usually build over time, so it might still surprise you later.

Anyway, you seem genuine, not like someone trying to bring JJ down, so I’d say just give it a proper chance and a bit of patience. Let’s support NETJJ and see how it unfolds 🤍

Don’t compare, guys....that’s literally the last thing you should be doing to anyone.

Every pairing, every actor, every story has its own vibe. When you keep comparing, you’re not really giving the new one a fair chance, you’re just holding it against something it was never meant to be. Watch it with a fresh mindset and let it stand on its own. That’s when you’ll actually enjoy it.

I understand what you’re trying to say, and I do agree that colorism is a real issue—it exists not just in Thailand but pretty much everywhere in the world.

But I think the main point here is getting a bit mixed up. What you’re talking about is a bigger industry and social issue, while what’s being discussed in this thread is JJ as an actor in this specific role. Those are two very different conversations.

If we want to talk about how darker skinned actors are treated across industries globally, that’s a huge topic......we could honestly go on about that for a very long time. And yes, it’s valid. But bringing that into this and then saying JJ is “not good looking” and pointing out his fair skin feels unrelated and a bit unfair.

Also, I’m genuinely curious, how do you feel about shows where most or all of the cast are very fair-skinned? Because that happens in a lot of industries too, not just Thai dramas. That’s why I see this as a broader global pattern rather than something specific to one country. At the end of the day, whether someone finds an actor attractive or not is completely subjective. But saying he doesn’t look good at all comes across more like personal dislike than constructive criticism, and it kind of puts him in the middle of a bigger issue that isn’t really about him personally.

If the discussion is about industry standards, I’m open to that. But if it’s about this specific show, then I think it’s fair to judge it based on the story, acting, and overall performance.......without turning it into something else.

I wanna know tooo

I’m not laughing at you 😊 just thought you might’ve missed it in the first part of episode 1, that’s all

Nope, from 2nd episode its in iQIYI

I totally understand your point, and that’s completely okay....not every drama is everyone’s cup of tea.

Also, comparing it directly to other dramas you loved from the first episode might not always be fair to this one, because each story has its own pacing and narrative style. Some peak early, others build slowly and pay off later. Two episodes in, it feels more like groundwork than a full representation of what the drama is trying to deliver.

If this one isn’t connecting with you the same way others did, that’s normal. But if you’re still willing to stay for the ride, even if it feels a bit slow or not fully engaging yet, we really appreciate it.

As NETJJ fans, we’re just happy you’ve given it a chance and watched this far.

I actually appreciate your review being constructive rather than purely negative, but I do see things quite differently.

I feel it’s a bit unfair to judge a historical time travel drama by expecting it to move quickly or follow the same pacing as other shows. This genre especially a period piece often takes time to build its world introducing characters, their relationships, social behavior, and emotional depth. The early episodes are clearly focused on laying that foundation, not rushing into action.

Regarding Nakkhun’s reactions while it may feel repetitive or exaggerated from a viewer’s perspective, it’s actually one of the more realistic portrayals of someone thrown into an unfamiliar time. If anything, constantly insisting he’s not the person others think he is, or reacting strongly when seeing familiar faces in a completely different timeline, feels human. In reality, adjusting to something as extreme as time travel wouldn’t be immediate or smooth.....it would be confusing, emotional, and messy. Expecting him to instantly adapt just for the sake of faster storytelling might make it more convenient, but not necessarily more authentic.

Also, comparing it to “every movie of this type” can be limiting, because not every story aims to follow the same formula. Some choose a slower, more immersive approach rather than prioritizing plot speed. That doesn’t make the writing dull...it just means the storytelling style is different.

As for the point about how long the drama took to be released, I don’t think that’s a fair metric to judge the writing itself. Production delays can happen for many external reasons casting changes, scheduling, or other behind the scenes factors which don’t directly reflect the quality of the script or storytelling.

Overall, it’s completely valid to feel that it’s “not great” so far.... that’s subjective, but I think the current pacing and character behavior are intentional choices rather than flaws. The story is still in its setup phase, and it’s building toward something rather than trying to deliver everything at once.

Hopefully, as it progresses, it will align more with what you’re looking for but for now, I see it as a slow build rather than a weak start.

Even when Klao asked Si and Chuay for a spoon to eat, they had serving spoons in that scene and still told him to eat by hand. During the family dinner as well, you can see that there were only serving spoons, yet they ate by hand. If you look closely, even the ladies who questioned Kalo were eating with their hands, not using spoons.

And for the Helmet I’m not entirely sure—it could simply be part of his attire.

You can’t expect to jump straight in and be instantly entertained with constant action or humor. This is a historical period piece, and it needs time to introduce the characters, their behavior, surroundings, and backstories. The first few episodes are just laying the groundwork before building up to the climax.

So have patience—tighten your belt, the flight is just taking off. We’re still on the runway.

Did you missed the first episode first part 😇🤣

Honestly, the level of hate says more than anything else. When people go out of their way to mess with ratings, it’s no longer just criticism it shows how much impact this project is making. Whether it’s fear, rivalry, or just noise, one thing is clear you don’t try this hard to bring something down unless it’s already a success. Funny how the hate itself ends up proving its popularity.

I pray you find peace, my dear. Whatever is driving you to write all this isn’t good. Also, JJ is doing an amazing job in his first big drama. I hope you’ll see the brighter side of our Bunny—don’t stop watching, and please don’t watch with hate in your heart.

I should have done the same, but instead I kept going, smashing the forward button a million times,

Jade, your brother Jay is about to die maybe stop walking around looking handsome and flirting for two minutes and actually do something 😭

At this point, please change the genre, because there’s nothing mysterious or thrilling happening here… and romance? I’m not even sure that’s what this is anymore.

And as for you the killer, dude or dudes, whoever you are honestly, I’m so sorry you must be feeling bored, considering absolutely no one seems interested in chasing you. Especially the police. Must be tough being a serial killer and not even getting the bare minimum attention.

Honestly, I’m no longer sure what I’m watching.

It feels like even the production team didn’t fully know what they were doing. This is supposed to be a thriller with a serial killer, yet there’s almost no sense of urgency, tension, or investigation. The killer doesn’t feel chased, the danger doesn’t feel real, and the story never commits to its genre.
I started this drama mainly because of JoongDunk and I genuinely like them but they weren’t given a proper story, or even the bare minimum in terms of character development. Instead of meaningful plot progression, we get random romance scenes while students are literally being murdered in the background.

What shocked me the most was a scene where two grown men are acting jealous in front of a brutally murdered body (his own brother's friend). That moment alone showed how disconnected he tone is. It wasn’t emotional, it wasn’t respectful, and it definitely wasn’t realistic.

I kept watching because I thought maybe they were aiming for a lighter thriller with some comedy elements. But this gives nothing no suspense, no emotional depth, no coherent storytelling.
What makes this even more disappointing is that the screenwriters have worked on genuinely good dramas before (like Goddess Bless You from Death and Pit Babe). So it’s hard to understand how this ended up feeling so poorly written.

The whole show feels formula-made:
no solid story,
no proper character arcs,
scenes jump around without connection,
and it doesn’t live up to any of its listed genres.

Everything feels sloppy low-budget execution paired with well known actors, clearly relying on star power rather than quality. That’s honestly the main reason I started watching too… and that makes the disappointment even bigger. I really wanted to like this. But in the end, it feels like wasted potential, weak writing, and a lack of basic storytelling standards.

GeminiFourth and SkyNani? are you sure?

I haven’t watched a single episode yet, and I’m honestly hesitating because the hype is everywhere. I’m not really a fan of cheesy or cringe-heavy dramas. But since I’m a Pond and Phuwin fan, I still want to give it a try. So tell me — is the drama genuinely light-hearted, balanced, and enjoyable with its rom-com and comedy elements, or does it feel overly childish and over the top?

You seem really invested for someone who doesn’t like them 😅,Ah, classic, when facts don’t work, call it delulu

I have a feeling these two are really onto something, they’re winning fans one by one. I’m glad they’ve come this far despite all the hate and negativity. Can’t wait for the big day!
