So far I'd say it's a very well shot but boring drama... Kind of a no fault when it comes to Thai bls (especially for GMMTV), but everything feels very forgettable? The Jun drama could've made things interesting if it went further, but it feels like the cast being an already established idol group they couldn't risk one of the members damaging their image by becoming a villain, so they didn't push it.
Overall it's everything I would've hoped for in 2014 when actors still had a hard time with skinship and writers didn't know how to move forward a story without using misunderstandings as a plot device. But getting rid of those flaws doesn't make for an engaging story by default... I also think they should've aired it entirely in 2024 as a last quarter feel good drama for everyone to end the year on a good note, because ending it like this in the middle of the first quarter will just prompt everyone to forget about it by spring.
Alright Joong was definitely the star of this drama... I wish he was given a more seasoned partner, but Dunk managed to not be too awkward the entire show that their scenes were still enjoyable (but really who told him to put his hands on his hips as default it's just such an unnatural pose it took me out every time lmao)
I’m hoping they’re planning on multiple seasons. I haven’t read the webtoon but I know it would take several…
I hope s2 is as good as the 1st one it might give hope for a s3!
And I wouldn’t recommend the webtoon, it doesn’t go as deep into each character so it ends up kind of a cliché bully vs underdog story, they really leveled it up for the live action!
Is only part of the cast revealed or are we dropping many characters from the webtoon?
I’m wondering if they’re planning a season 3 because how could they possibly fit 250+ chapters into this season when they had the whole first season based on only 12 chapters…
I read the webtoon after watching this drama and I’m amazed at how they could create such an engaging story with so little to work with… For once you can say that the adaptation surpasses the source material, and by far! I can’t wait for season 2 whether they can keep this up
This show is so badly written... GMMTV writers used up all their potential for the ArmSandPo trio and gave up for the rest ahh
I've realized while watching episode 14 that one of the big reason GMMTV shows have lacked in quality writing recently is that they try to force some weirdly *educational* content in every episode. I want to watch something genuine, believable, not have the rules of consent and relationship 101 forced down my throat. But target demographic being tweens it's fair game I guess.
Thank God you're in the minority and everyone else loves them so much that their popularity is increasing. It…
@Maxy If nobody was ever critical of anything, we would never get any improvement. If you just look a few years back, there used to be a complete erasure of skin ship between same sex couples, there was always the 'ex-girlfriend trope', constant homophobia, etc... And we spoke up, things evolved.
Now I'm speaking up against awful writing and lackluster acting, because really sometimes it feels like we are farm animals being fed whatever just because they know we'll eat it up. If more people asked for quality over quantity, then maybe GMMTV would hear us and work on their shortcomings. So no, I will not leave this comment section because you're angry I'm not appreciating this show as much as you'd like.

@Bl_fanaticcccc Who says I'm in the minority? I've seen a bunch of negative comments on this page... And many shy away from speaking up because of people like you who say their opinion doesn't matter.
How tf are they going to extend GunYotha's storyline until ep 16 and not make it utterly insufferable?
I'm bored out of my mind with them... GMMTV had the potential to create something actually interesting with Warit! I honestly would've been way more entertained if him and Yotha still had feelings for each other and the situation turned a bit more messy. What if Klao was right to be jealous all along? Now that's engaging drama. Instead they pull this nonsensical plot twist that doesn't go anywhere because happy endings are a requirement and GMMTV hates taking risks smh
I’m not one to be against nudity/lewd scenes, but really…
I hated the focus on Hyejong’s body (the director forced her to wear that tight dress, and was her showing her breasts really necessary??) and Sara’s forced sexual scenes (the drugs and tax evasion was more than enough to ruin her, why do we need to portray her masturbating in public and acting submissive under a man’s d***) . This was all very unecessary and didn’t bring anything to the story.
I look forward to SK being more liberated regarding sexuality in their dramas but this was really not it :/
One thing that annoys me to bits is that Po doesn't turn on his damn camera!! It's literally the job he was hired for and they can't even make it look right ㅠㅠ Never mind aiming it at the correct height... that documentary is gonna be nothing but footage of their chest if he actually gets any hhhh
saying that the chemistry is not there is kinda off wrong cause even with 10 seconds of them on screen, their…
Right I haven't seen any drama with Santa in it so I can't say, but Perth was definitely one of my favorite actors since LBC! But ever since he hasn't gotten any good role where his talent could shine and it's a pity :(
saying that the chemistry is not there is kinda off wrong cause even with 10 seconds of them on screen, their…
For me to be able to feel the chemistry I also need to believe there's a strong reason they would fall in love with each other... but the pace is way too fast to make this even slightly believable, i don't really know how to explain it but it felt like since we know they will get together anyways, they didn't put any effort in showing each character's pov and the way their feelings are 'developping' feels forced, hence the no chemistry comment.

They were claiming they wouldn’t let her drink/eat at all on sets, would throw things at her, leave her stranded after shooting, etc…
Why isn’t mentioned here? Or was it just rumors?
