People are saying no one cares or wants to know what Thame wants but that's not true. Mars and Po know he wants the band to stay together. Po knows that, and that's the biggest reason he broke up with Thame. He didn't want Thame to lose the opportunity to go with his members bc of him. He worked very hard to get the band together, what was in it for him to help someone he didn't know to reconcile with his friends? It's because he felt for Thame since the beginning and saw how much he loved his friends. He saw how much the band meant to Thame while they were all planning how to stay together. Pemika told him all that would go to nothing if they stayed together, imagine being made to believe if you don't give up on your relationship your bf and all his friends would not be able to achieve their dream and you know how much it means to them bc you were with them by their side
Pemika said on live tv it would only be Thame going and not the rest of them. Let's say Po didn't break up, what would she do? Probably tell them the whole group going to Korea plan was rejected by the company bc of Thame and Pepper's back to back dating scandals. And then release Po's pictures to the press out of spite and frame it as workplace power imbalance/ groomed relationship and make Po the object of MARS fans' hatred. Then bring up the contracts and the debt to still force Thame to go alone.
Thame says he'd fight for their love, but just like how he wanted to watch the movie in theaters but never had time he wouldn't have been able to stop any of these from happening. As long as Mars in under Oner Pemika has enough power to just bring all their plans down again and again. She's probably the one who got people to follow Thame to get those pictures, so if they only pretended to break up she'd know. So it's simply unrealistic that Po wouldn't break up, at least at that moment and according to what Po knows at that moment from what Pemika told him and from how he saw fans react to PepperGam, and with how much he cares about Thame and how much he knows Thame cares about MARS
Calling this episode "one note writing" is a such a stretch it's crazy
But that wouldn't have worked at all. So let's say Po didn't break up. How would Thame stop Pemika from releasing Po's photos maybe painting him as a stalker fan who power tripped him into a relationship? She could do anything she has the power the press and all the contracts on her hand. Thame had the desire to keep the relationship but did he have a plan? And Pemika told Po the whole group would go if he broke up. He wouldn't want to be the reason all the hard work to bring the group together fails at the last
What "everything " did he do for Po? You heard Po. Everything Thame did was for his group members. I agree Thame…
This. If the members and Po are 'at least gaining something ' then by that logic Thame is gaining much more by the end of it... And people act like they knew they were getting those opportunities so they ditched Thame
Agreed. I have said it multiple times during the past episodes, Mars needs to find a company who will support…
It wasn't ' giving up too easily '
It was always building up since Pepper got exposed and Gam broke up with him. He saw even Baifern get mad about that and all the hate. Then he got told it was his fault PepperGam broke up. Thame knew it before but didn't tell him to not make him feel guilty but this gave Pemika the chance.
Also, more importantly, MARS. MARS was the reasons Po and Thame started to get close, before they dated it was about MARS staying together as a group. I feel like people forget that. He helped them overcome misunderstandings and shot an MV for them putting aside his own work. Now he's told because of him THEY ALL CAN'T GO TO KOREA. Everyone's careers will be ruined bc of him. And Pemika sounds so convincing too, so Po broke up for Mars. He never was worried about himself or his job. He wasn't worried about fans finding him or losing his job he always prioritized others in this case Thame and Mars. At that point he didn't know Thame would go alone
Damn, did you read my mind?? Thanks for defending our Po. I don't know why so many bashing on our poor soul. He's…
They won't reply now. But honestly, okay sure they didn't break up. Out of spite the company leaked their relationship and fired Po and now everyone knows his face and the rabid fans start witch-hunting Po, would that be a better situation? At that moment if you were Po logically even if Thame says they'll fight to stay together what exactly can they do? The company could have sued them for monetary damage to artist image and made them go millions in debt. Is that something you want to face with your loved ones AND their friends in tow???
or....or....or - just hear me out. They could have had done the horizontal dance and bumped hips three times over😂.…
From the series context clues, and how she made up that fake portfolio and finally got him to get a job, I think Baifern being like this is because she's the closest person he has near him and she had to take care of him a lot when he wasn't taking care of/ looking out for himself. She's probably had to come over and see how he's doing and she also saw how Po didn't exactly always fall for the right people, and she kind of came over right when she was worried. At least that's how I saw it
You can cut as singer as much slack for his looks as you want. If someone is a 5 in looks and a 9 in singing,…
Tbh for me it's the opposite. Usually studio versions/ official audios have the best takes from recording for hours and also go through sound engineering to be good sounding. Hence as long as the backtrack is solid I don't mind. It's a different matter if they overestimate themselves and sing live offtune though.
But for acting even if they look great if they keep making unnatural expressions and have bad line delivery I can't tolerate it
One word, perfection.My mouth literally hurts from all that smiling.But my smile had dropped in the food court…
Nah Po loved what Thame did, and just like the clothes he just didn't throw out and the mug that was still there it was just a habit, sth he put off doing. Like when he wanted to tell that he didn't want two but he couldn't so he ended up getting two anyways. I understand Po because I'm exaqctly that kind of person too. So he's not really doing anything that's overstepping.
From what we see of Thame with Dylan and Jun, we see that he's a really good friend who'd do anything for them. Heck he got into a whole slave contract for MARS. So, when Jun saw that Po had feelings for Thame, initially he definitely thought that Thame was only being friendly to Po.
So, he felt bad for Po and wanted him to get over Thame. But he fell for Po while trying to do that. And Thame's jealousy over Jun brought ThamePo together.
Over time, Jun did do a lot for Po. Taking the blame in the company, asking him out to eat because he thought Po would get rejected, adding the subtitles all night, and going to the cinema bc he thought Po would be alone there.
I feel sad for Jun bc despite chaotic and slippery he genuinely is a very caring person and isn't selfish, which we can see from how he wanted Thame to go to Korea even though for himself Mars is a better choice than solo career. It's just that Po never even considered him. I hope he gets his happy ending too.
how did he not know Thame likes/loves Po when they were literally fighting over Po?
Tbh, Thame was acting all jealous and angry when he didn't even think he liked Po. I think Jun saw Po helping them at the risk of his career basically bc he had feelings for Thame and felt like they were taking advantage of his feelings and wanted Po to get over him, but in the meantime he fell for Po. I guess he did realize that Thame might reciprocate those feelings after all but he still felt they were taking advantage of Po's feelings and being inconsiderate to Po's job or career and only thinking about MARS so he tried to make Po think more about his own dreams.
And subconsciously he didn't want to face that ThamePo had mutual feelings bc he wanted to spend more time with Po before giving up on his own feelings.
And he probably saw that nothing motivated Thame more than jealousy. Also he just loves chaos too.
I will admit to being frustrated! These episodes need to be longer!!! I mean we are at episode 8 and they still…
Same I'm so impressed by Nut like wdym it's his first series? He totally devoured his role. And he's so introverted and polite in real life and it's such a contrast from Jun it makes him even more impressive and likeable
i know its gonna be thamepo but i do like junpo chemistry as well..... i think nut and his character jun deserve…
Yeah I feel like he really loves and wants to help people around him and he also loves some chaos and hates confrontation so he acts like that, overall I really like his character and Nut's acting, he could carry his own series as a lead very well. So talented for a first time actor
EP08. Our soft-spoken couple finally stepped up and it all thanks to Jun by pushing Thame to be more courageous…
No but Jun really did speed everything up, from realization of feelings to the confessions he was the catalyst haha Our shy couple would have taken five more years and episodes if he wasn't there
Yangxi is so full of himself and judgmental but I'll love to see how to follows Shouhua around which will be soon bc my girl is gorgeous and smart as hell
