I don't feel sorry for Jia Hao one bit... it's not like his classmates or anyone excluded him.. he was part of the friend group and his own jealousy got in the way.
fake kisses and almost kisses in a BL in 2024 ? I feels like we still in 2018... honestly I feel like August wanted a young actor casted so he won't have to kiss a guy.. I remember in the love sick story a lot of people thought earn and pete were gonna be a couple and it never happened.
making such a serious story like ''addicted'' into something comedic feels so cheap.. I need Thailand to stop making remakes and try creating fresh stories that don't contain overused tropes.
the casting for AIM is really good.. she looks just like the girl from the 2014 version. I love that the cast studied the movement and way the characters acted in the OG version.. its quite clear from aim, yuri and noh's actor... they are really delivering the essence of their OG characters.
really great first episode.. love the innocence of the characters and the acting is really good for their ages.. .love that they established a backstory and we are seeing connection from both sides early compared to the OG series.
I'm torn.. Dong Hee mood swings annoyed me... while Ho Tae has golden retriever energy and tries to do anything to please him.. I thought at one point the roles would be reversed and we would see more of Dong Hee fighting for him.
really strong first episode.. the best from GMMTV in 2024 thus far... the rating is baffling to me.. even GMMTVs worst BLs don't go below 7.8.... The OHMNANON fans are the most toxic fanbase ever and it's quite clear they are doing this.
I think we've come to the point now where we need to let the OG story rest and no more remakes.. Stay With Me was fantastic but sadly it was not given a season 2.. but honestly the Thai version is the nail in the coffin for me.. it doesn't have the gritty rawness and intensity Addicted had.. the chemistry isn't there and I feel like the Thai version just makes me want to go back and watch the uncompleted OG series.
oh they lost me with the fake kiss.. I really expected better acting from August as he has been doing this so long.. the OG addicted was so raw and intense.
they gotta be more consistent with the hearing problem plot.. how can the girl not hear when people are in her face but she was hearing and responding to everything Taichi was telling her when she was walking down the stairs with her back turned to him lol.
This young man is so talented and deserves all the praise... countlessly he has delivered with different partners and his acting impeccable.. not a lot maybe none have been able to deliver time and time again with new partners and still feel authentic with it.. but he has managed it. from Make it Right (2016) to He's Coming to Me (2019) to Dew the Movie (2019) to Bad Buddy (2021) now with Kidnap (2024) I really think we need to acknowledge how much this young man has done for this industry at the age of 24.
