I saw videos of reverse role of DuangQinn on social media. Prior to this, not even in my mind, I will feel interested about his kind of setup, but I think TeeTeePor just nailed it perfectly. I'm keen to watch if they want to try this setup for next project although I'm really fine with the current one. Also, can we have TongPae @ TheeWave? I'm trying not to go deeper as they're unofficial, but my social media feeds doesn't give cooperation ðŸ˜
Finally, I'm done. If not mistake, this is first series I watch from Domundi even heard about them years ago. First, as I said in my previous comments, this series is unique. Maybe I'm feel like that because I'm start watching this kind of genre since 2017 and the last time for full fledge Thai series back to 2019, couldn't help myself from watch this series from 'old school' perspective. But I think that's how the uniqueness come from, for myself. My mind always want to determine "what 'position' they take in the relationship" especially between Duang and Qinn. Even that also shaping my view towards TeeTee and Por as well. I'm good with this settings as from what I can see, they're compatible. Second, Duang's energy especially during early episodes are something that I didn't found on any other series that I had watched. It's parallel with his upbringing in a cheerful family. In contrast, Qinn's icy attitude really contra with Duang's energy and make storyline feel quite slow-burn which also my cup of tea. Really understand his feelings for feel lonely as his parents always not with him. His old love story also just add more salt to the wound of his loneliness. As nowadays I'm prefer 'lighter and simpler' show, thus feel hesitate at first as my old soul unable to bear heaviness of feelings. That's what I'm feel about Qinn's past love story and also his childhood trauma. These two issues are heaviest parts for me. Yet, the storyline pinned it well to potrays strength of Qinn and Duang relationship. Like when Duang say he trust Qinn won't return to Tiw, and Qinn also didn't have any thoughts to return to Tiw, I think that's perfect with reality and rationality. I'm also appreaciate this series with compatible multi-talented casts. I think this is the most extensive series which casts also sing many songs. Really admiring Por for his talents, not just acting but also singing, for TeeTee as well, great acting and sing well also. I think it's rare to have a pair and both of them are multi-talented. There are many good songs in this show but I like 'Found' the most. Furthermore, I didn't feel distrupted with focus on side couple, Jamie and Marvis, instead feel it's delighted. Not always but several times, I didn't keen much on focus towards other pairs aside than the main pair, maybe due to past experiences. But when feel side pairs didn't annoyed me, for me that's indicator that the storyline and maybe casts selection just perfect. Now, shortages or weaknesess part. Didn't have much to say, but for excitement, around 90-95%. Well, I can't do anything to make it 100% because it's come naturally. I'm laugh, smile, also feel emotional during tense scenes, but just no monologue of chanting like "Go! Go! Go to chase your love" or beating my pillow or mattress because of giggling (imagine a guy in 30's doing that 🤣). I'm rare to be in line with majority, so it's make me worried a bit on how to set expectation toward this series despite its ratings already 9.0 when I start watching, but for this series, I could say I'm in line, just about 10% off. For hope, I think this show should become catalyse for many more TeeTeePor's future collaborations. I didn't know their past works or even themselves previously, but from this series, they are good together. I'm start following them on IG, meaning I'm looking for their next developments and more collaborations for a longer time. Another hope, I think this is quite significant for me, to have TongPae aka TheeWave. Well, at first want to put this on weaknesses as it's pitiful for didn't much interaction in the series despite from earlier episodes, they're the earliest to have interactions, even prior to DuangQinn and JamieMarvis. Even if TongPae got same weightage as JamieMarvis along the storyline, I'm delight. But make this as a hope as I think there are potential for future collaborations. Don't know Domundi's plan but they already make an offer for Thee to join them, so it's on Thee's side to determine. I'm respecting any decision as there are many things need to be consider. Yet, I'm thanking to Thee because I get know this series through him, knowing and following him since 2023, also feel special a bit as his birthday date same with me, just I'm 11 years older 🫢. So, that's why I'm a bit bias for TheeWave than Wave with other person. Haha! I thinks that's all. For now, I give this show rarely 'interim rating' of 9.0 with potential to upgrade in the future, if I think it's good to do so, as I'm still unable to make up my mind for final rating.
While still ongoing watching but there are already outcome for me. Since my first series, I'm learning about Thai cuisines through those series and even cook it by myself. Although just neighbouring to Thailand, but here it's always tom yum as most popular Thai dish, akin to sushi for Japanese dish. But from those series, from Nom Yen (2 Moons) to Pad Krapao (TharnType) then here shrimp stir fry with garlic. So, add more recipe to my cookbook.
i just made a personality quiz to know who you are in Love of Silom https://uquiz.com/JeFUFAyou can give me feedbacks…
I got Krit. Haha! Not start watch this series yet, so don't know how Krit it is. But for Up, I think some similarities like same age and background of education.
Just finish rewatch today, but excited like first time. Even some scenes like "oh... why like I'm never watch this before?". Tomorrow they will start sell blue-ray box, but it's undeniable that I'm hoping for S2 announcement also. Today also, DXTEEN released acoustic version of Mutual Love. Hear that, make me want to cry, like hoping endless story of them.
Just reached ep.5 but searching why it's 'TeeTeePor' than 'PorTeeTee' because there are discussion about that on ep.4. From that, I think I got the answer but also make me feel so old as I'm thinking "there are a lot of things have changed" since last time I'm engaged with full fledged Thai BL series. No wonder, last time was TharnType back to 2019 and next year will be 10th year since first time watch this kind of genre. Even this series has uniqueness that maybe I didn't found from previous series that I watched. Just searching a bit about them but their related contents already 'colonising' my timeline. I just afraid got spoilers before I watch those scenes or episodes.
The first time the ending trailer plays, there's a "rewind" and you see the scene of what happened and…
Thanks for suggestion. Will relook at that. Because it's at the very end of the show, so maybe my mind at that time already in 'conclusion mood', just about to wrap up everything. So despite watched the scene, but missed the detail.
My last comment when the upcoming episode was ep.7, about my intention to watch this series, And today, finally... watched ep.1. Haha! So far so good, will look how it will progress. Oh... also learn that creator of this story also same with Only Boo! which also in my plan to watch list. So maybe will watch it subsequently or concurrently with this show.
The first time the ending trailer plays, there's a "rewind" and you see the scene of what happened and…
I watched it but still unable to comprehend. That's why I ask did he trick or persuade them (that he could help them make more money)? I didn't write in full to avoid spoiler.
A bit confusing with the ending. Did Chusan persuade or trick Fei Qi's subordinates to release him? Btw, overall, I think the show is good. I know from the beginning, with gangster elements there, will be a bit hard for me to understand. The structures and interactions on how those gangs operate, there are a lot of names but I didn't know how those names are related. Still not too hard to understand overall storylines, fortunately they not skew too much from Liuyi and Chusan. I just focus much on them, that preserve much of my understanding about this show. Opening and ending OST also good. It's worth to be on playlist. But obviously, based on the ending, I think the production show their intention for S2. I hope it's really like that and everything will go smooth. Also, if there are S2, focus on Liuyi and Chusan will continue, maybe after Liuyi released and try to rebuild his life without gangster's world with help from Chusan. About 2nd pair, I'm more favour to keep them as 2nd pair or if want to focus much on them, then spin-off show. Touch a bit about Chang Xi and Yan Zhao interactions outside the series, really nice to see despite keep reminding myself "I'm no longer do that (shipping). I'm not young anymore". Haha! Also while look like this series help them become more popular, but hopefully not at the expense of the calmness of their life. Well, I'm looking for next developments. Hope there will be good news.
Well, I think it's done. Actually, this is second series I watched from the studio. The first one is My Key Chain, a few years ago. I enjoy their shows, although seem amateur and low budget, but it's not bad. Somehow, I'm prefer this kind of show than from certain big names of production, maybe suit with my age now. When new episode release, can just casually watch it without feeling heavy or lazy. It's relax, not intense, didn't have any expectation, just watch it 'organically' like our own real life.
First, I'm feel funny. That's easiest and common feeling to have for short series. Then, I'm feel Yoon Su got bullied. But from then, everything just escalated to something that I didn't expect for short series especially 'those scenes'. Even some full series didn't have that. Feel like POV of Yoon Su when he watch 'that kind of stuff' from his phone and laptop. I think it's worth to watch. At first just want to give 7.0, but feel it's okay for 7.5 as well. For improvements, I think they should add more expressions, either facial or tonal. But more than that, really recommending for at least another one episode, just to show finally Yoon Su move out and stay together with Ha Jin. I think that's good conclusion for the show.
I'm among viewers who gave S1 full ratings 10/10. As this S2, the most honest I could give was 8/10. For ep. 1 to 6, not bad, but feel just too day-to-day, routines scenes and too focus on their career than relationship. For some, it's realistic, but as a show, I think should be entertaining. During airing of those episodes, feel like dragging my feet to keep going. I didn't know how much other viewers "fallen" between ep.1 to 6, unable to continue. But good side of ep.1 to 6 showed their supportiveness to each other in countering every challange of their career. For me, this S2 start from ep.7 and above. From there, dynamics of the story just get interesting, focus again on their relationship, not on the sideline. Feel delighted as this S2 seem make a comeback from there, last 4 episodes showed Touma and Natsume familiar characters, just like S1. Presence of Touma's dad and brother really enhancing plots there. Overall, S2 still a good show. If I could give a suggestion, those career centric scenes from ep. 1 to 6 limited to 2-3 episodes only, will be better and later make it as a background or sidelines scenes only, just like ep.7 and above. As a subtitute, they could make Riku closeness to Natsume (due to unconfident as the beginning of Riku's career) be misunderstood to Touma. Well, as mention previously, I even hope Harukawa still there for this S2. I will give 8.5 if he's there. I assumed Riku as a spiritual successor to Harukawa. Actually I didn't expect for S2, but it's good to have it. If they think about S3, if any, hope they will take ep.7 and above as a reference and foundation. That's all my cents.
I think this is the most "JDM" from all Japanese series that I ever watch until now. While the story is simple, but storytelling's elements and contexts there can be quite challenging to be understand especially for international viewers. Hard to find good translation also could excerbating the situation. All those deliquents culture, Japanese history and literature, might consume a bit of focus and energy to understand. As for comedic elements, I think this is unique to this series despite it's hit and miss for me. It's hit especially Toru's monoloque voice when encountered Kishi, I like the tone of his voice there. But it's miss especially when Toru and his gang's exaggerated actions and talks whenever it's related with deliquency. It's not bad, but a bit confusing to understand. I even think those deliquencies things are the hardest to understand. About Japanese history and literature, I'm learned a bit back in my school time, so I got a bit of the idea of those things. Overall, it's decent series. Interactions between Toru and Kishi either during or outside tutor sessions are the precious and main focus of this series. I'm waiting for special episode(s) if any. This is second series played by Tanaka Koki for me, first one is Sugar Dog Life. I'm also surprised that Toru is him as I unable to realised it beforehand. This also first series played by Rei Sawamura for me. I think for quite a long time, whenever I hear his voice, will associated him with Kishi Naito.
Did they set ep.3 just for member? So how I could complete this show? I thought that's their pattern, but I saw…
Thanks to all replies of clarifications. I'm never experiencing these as most of time, those short web series shows already ended for a some time before I get know about it. This is first time when it's still ongoing.
Also, can we have TongPae @ TheeWave? I'm trying not to go deeper as they're unofficial, but my social media feeds doesn't give cooperation ðŸ˜
