LMAOO 😂😂 I'm still not going tp watch it but that's probably for the best for that series in particular lol at least that explains the whole "A BL couple with experienced actors, solid acting skills, but I, as the director, instruct them not to kiss for real. I want the focus to be solely on their performance."
Thats so confusing what?? Take into consideration like how???
wait also, isnt the second season already filmed? Or at least some of it? I swear Jinloe doesnt like their viewers because both options he described sound stressful for no reason.
A BL thats bait vs new actors with way too much fanservice is an odd choice to want to make, like bro I just wanna know what happens 🥲
So I started episode 8 on part 2/4 and didnt notice until I finished that part. I was confused, but no more confused than the rest of the story made me, so I sincerely thought, "huh, guess theyre just going to pretend that guy (jingjang) was always there," and didnt question it.
That experience is the best description I can give for how coherent the story/editing is lol
because of the comments probably i'm not going to watch it...sadly because i think both of them deserve better…
It's slightly less cheesy than middleman's love, some of the jokes land better, but it is exactly the same amount as awkward. The romance aspect is significantly better than ML, but the plot is worse/more confusing. The editing is poor in both shows, but the plot makes it more noticeable here. So far, I dont run to watch it but I do actually get through the entire episode each week. I wont compare it to their storyline in Cutie Pie because theres really no overlap in tone. (But the cutie pie storyline was better.) This is closer to ML by a wide margin.
This was the best episode thus far. These are actually the first NC scenes in this show I had any desire to watch. I have some gripes, but they were both well done for the most part. The use of imagery in the SunSalin scene was good.
Lin angers me. Constantly. Or maybe just irritates. His 90th fainting episode annoys me. The khun dad thing will never stop making me want to jump out of a fourth story window. I can't even pretend to care about the supernatural plot like this show would be so much better without it. Kinda sad it really was just Kaewmanee. I'd hoped they'd fake us out and make it Juladit or something, but he kinda redeemed himself as a character this episode so whatever.
SamYo is all I care about at this point. They're adorable and they really steal the show for me. PrimPim are a not-close second, and that is all of the characters I care about. Maybe Sun? Slightly?
I await the end like a prisoner tbh, two more weeks and I am free.
I came here expecting a whole different comment section lmao good to know we're pretty much all on the same page Throughout Ton Klas second scene I just kept saying, "I really dont need to see this man have sex again," which made the third NC of the episode feel that much more unnecessary/rushed
Wait no, did they say they were only going to release at 1mil subs??? Thats insane
Ooo I saw that too and it made so much more sense.
I just want someone who loves the OG series/novel to try making it. We probably won't get a good remake until someone is invested in telling it right because they love it instead of just capitalizing on it
Wait no, did they say they were only going to release at 1mil subs??? Thats insane
Someone said they think Addicted is cursed and I've never agreed with anything more. I've spent over a decade waiting for a remake that does it justice and it's just not happening.
Mac does have an extensive career, but it doesn't really make it feel any less inappropriate. I don't trust most companies to move with actors best interest in mind, so I'm definitely not giving jinloe the benefit of the doubt, especially after watching the trailer. It just seems like a weird choice to have made ; there was never a chance they could follow the novel lol but if theyre not going the sanitized Stay With Me route, I just can't get past the casting. Particularly because of how many BL fans can. I'll leave it there though, I could rant on this for a whiiiiile.
Wait no, did they say they were only going to release at 1mil subs??? Thats insane
That one's been on my list for ages and yeah, I think it's not happening 🥲 if it was any other company I'd hold out hope but I really don't think Jinloe cares about their own projects. I can only assume they dont have the money and are putting all their eggs in the Addicted: Heroin basket. Which isnt a bad idea if they are, it's a lot of people's OG favorite (including mine) but they casted a 16 year old and a 27 year old for a story that has sex scenes between their characters🙃. They just make questionable decisions.
Wait no, did they say they were only going to release at 1mil subs??? Thats insane
I saw that and to be honest I dont think I'll end up watching it; I really loved BurgerKing (what a pair name lmao) but the ones I really wanted more story/content about was HidaSaint and Shokun (not necessarily Ken lol).
Wait no, did they say they were only going to release at 1mil subs??? Thats insane
It literally has to be him, right? If it's any of the others it would be insane (though I wouldnt put it past Jinloe). Or I guess they could have someone previously unmet, but that would be.... a choice. Especially after them making Matteo an asshole, I was so excited about him right up until he gagged Shokun. That immediately made him a lost cause so I assumed the second season was supposed to be Ken's redemption arc and god I was looking forward to it because I didnt like him in the first, but alas I guess.
It's so frustrating , if they went about this halfway normal and just charged for season two instead of putting a subscriber goal on it, I would've (begrudgingly) paid.
Wait no, did they say they were only going to release at 1mil subs??? Thats insane
I watched literally half of one episode of that nonsense and got mad because why that over just releasing season 2?? I lost hope entirely after seeing they were doing the remake of addicted heroin (also supposedly going to have a second season? I think theyre gonna do the same thing and try to capitalize off how big the OG shows fandom is.) Either way, I'm avoiding Jinloe in the future because Hit Bite is not their only series/actors that I liked only to have them forget about it/them.
Also I might have to rewatch it before responding to your first comment because my memory is beyond hazy on this one since I'm pretty sure I'm never getting closure 🥲
I finished an hour long episode in 20 minutes. At this point, I'm just watching for the side couples, but even they have their issues. Personally, I thought MosBank could act but could use some work and a better script after big dragon. SunsetxVibes is making me question both conclusions.
Salil does not have a personality, so I am giving Bank some leeway if only because I wouldn't expect even the best actors to make something good out of no material, but leeway isnt a pass. The hyper codependent friend group could have been executed better-- it was cute at the beginning but lost the plot quickly. I hate side characters that feel flat, and whenever they're around Salil, both of his friends seem like moons orbiting jupiter. They take interest in Salil's life but not vice versa.
Sun doesnt feel like a character as much as he feels like a cardboard cutout of a prince-type boyfriend. Khun Dad is.....fucking egregious, I don't really want to even talk about it, it's so not....it's just not doing whatever they wanted it to be doing. Unless they wanted bone disolving cringe, then they succeeded.
I aggresively did not need ep 9 with all the parental supervision shit and the turbo misunderstanding + refusal to communicate combo. We did not have time for a misunderstanding saga, even if it only lasted half an episode. SamYo was the best part of this series for me and they had the nerve to rush them together since its almost over just so they could throw in a kiss. Like maybe shave 30 mins of dead space from the SunSalil couple and flesh out both side stories more?
I was excited for PrimPim at first, but Prim was extremely confusing and the writing didnt do a great job at making me want to root for them. In fact, I was mostly rooting for Pim to leave the poor woman alone. And then boom, episode 9 is like "heyyyy so now they like each other, heres some backstory to sell it lol"
They were trying to do too many things and ended up failing at all of them. Specifically because of this supernatural plotline thing thats going on. I dont give the back half of a single flying shit about it and, without it, I feel like there would have been enough time to actually follow a cohesive plot but...
Alas.
Also MosBank have crazy chemistry so Im trying to figure out how the director, screenwriter, or they themselves managed to obliterate it? I skipped past the NC scenes. I skipped them. Its not like im usually watching them frame by frame, or that I never fast forward through them, but never in my life have I just full out skipped past. It just wasnt compelling. Absolutely mad.
One episode left, so ill watch that to help MosBank get their bag. And then Ill wait to see the reviews before I watch another MosBank series. Their tiktoks are sincerely better than this.
EDIT: I rewatched the SamYo confession scene. I was too harsh, it's cute. Literally the best part of the episode, especially now that I know there are three left, not one.
Mac is not a child, He is 16 years old and is acting. Thailand's law of consent is the same as many countries…
Congrats, you earned a second response by being so aggressively wrong it's funny.
"Section 277. Rape – Girl Under 15 Whoever, has sexual intercourse with a girl not yet over fifteen years of age and not being his own wife, whether such girl shall consent or not, shall be punished with imprisonment of four to twenty years and fined of eight thousand to forty thousand Baht. If the commission of the offence according to the first paragraph is committed against a girl not yet over thirteen years of age, the offender shall be punished with imprisonment of seven to twenty years and fined of fourteen thousand to forty thousand Baht, or imprisonment for life.
If the commission of the offence according to the first or second paragraph is committed by participation of persons in the nature for destroying a girl and such girl is not consent, or by carrying the gun or explosive, or by using the arms, the offender shall be punished with imprisonment for life.
The offence as provided in the first paragraph, if the offender being the man commits against the girl over thirteen years but not yet over fifteen years of age with her consent and the Court grants such man and girl to marry together afterwards, the offender shall not be punished for such offence. If the Court grants them to marry together during the offender be still inflicted with the punishment, the Court shall release such offender."
This does not help your point. The section you referenced isnt even about age of consent. Its about rape. I dont really want to continue speaking with you.

I'm glad I'd already given up on Dear Dopamine, I didnt know Jinloe was making it. I think Im adding them to my list of companies/directors/actors to avoid because this is ridiculous 😩
Maybe another company will pick the stories up though? There's a little bit of hope
