Oh my goodness! this series is superb. there are parts that i found the original is better, such as the scene where Phun grabbed Noh's hand at the book store. Other than that, I do like this adaptation more than the 2014 version. I noticed that they have changed Noh's character. In this version, Noh is more receptive and assertive. I think it wouldn't be a problem since in the later part of the novel, Noh's struggle is more related to the fact that he feels insecure being with Phun, knowing that Phun is 'perfect' and his ex is Aim. Not to mention that in this version, they make Phun also popular in social media (judging from the latest episode). He's afraid that he's not good enough for Phun, hence he hesitates to make their relationship open. Even if he is assertive in front of Phun, it's understandable if he would need more courage to admit his feeling in front of the public. I think, this 2024 interpretation will be fine.
Maybe this was never meant to be a straightforward story—the kind where you know who to root for, what to feel,…
I love your writing and the way you interpret the story. I agree that there is a deep mystery and secret between Khen and Mas, and their love has probably crossed space and time. I find myself looking forward to next Saturday. I can feel the beauty of their love story, even with the seemingly messy plot and editing.
The way the story is paced and told feels a bit off. I don't know if it is the editing that makes the plot seems messy. Aside from that, I think this drama is very interesting. The story is pretty unique, and is surely better than many BL I've watched this year. I love it, especially the interaction between Mas and Khen. Very intense and romantic. How I wish the novel has an English translation.
As someone who always love the novel, I'd say I love this 2024 version already. This version is very much stay…
at least the first episode did. I know there will be a reinterpretation to match with the current time, but I have a feeling they won't go astray. I just want to say, I won't run away.
The ending is not what I expected. But, it's surprisingly not bad! At least, it stays true to the message the writer is trying to convey, which is regret and second chance. Great admitted his crime and turned himself in so he can be punished properly. Meanwhile, Tyme was letting go of his revenge. Both characters are learning from their near death experience. The problem of this drama, however, is in the pacing, causing the story less focus and the characters aren't developed deeply and properly. More episodes would be great. But, even in only 8 episodes, if the plot was put and paced more tightly, we could see a proper development, especially for Great and Tyme.
I love the first 5 episodes, but episode 6 and 7 is kind of a let down which also end up dragging down the excitement I had for the first 5 (fortunately, they didn't ruin the last episode). Still, solid 9 for the acting and cinematography.
So far, this drama is pretty solid. The story and characters are developed well. Other than the fact that the two main leads will end up falling in love, the show seems to be somewhat unpredictable. I have a good feeling about it.
