The production of this show— cinematography, soundtrack, ambiance, plot, worldbuilding, dialogue, acting.. is exquisite. Probably one of the best I’ve ever seen in a costume drama. Totally up my alley.
the dialogue was so wack and extremely boring like who wrote this 😭at first I thought that its because I'm…
You know, I watched a few Thai thrillers in my time and noticed that the policing is pretty much the same in all. I thought that was just me, but I’m glad to know I’m not alone in that.
Like, I saw Ramil waving his gun in the air in the middle of the street and was relatively forgiving because Ko Moo Chi does that sometimes too.. but there’s definitely a limit to how much bs one can sit through lmao. It’s definitely atrocious, for sure.
I definitely agree with you that the dialogue is just.. subpar. Some characters have better lines than others, but it’s just awkward for most, especially when coupled with the eerie silence in the background. It makes you want to just take one of those cheap sound effects boards where you press buttons and take it into your own hands because the production team couldn’t.
It’s disappointing because Mouse is literally the drama I worship. It’s hard NOT to compare the two, but if you made it past episode 3/4, just regard this drama as it’s own separate work entirely imo.
how is thai version? because korean was awesomesince story is known, is the direction/editing/script/dialogue…
I've seen some clips so far. Production wise, its lower budget than Mouse and the atmosphere is less gritty. The filter is too bright and doesn't really capture that noir/gritty crime detective/serial killer vibe like the original does. Some things can also be exaggerated, such as the stabbing and amount of blood used (I'm just being nitpicky here, but it looks a bit too.. amateur?). However, the acting is good and the plot is relatively similar to the original so far (with some minor tweaks, of course). Based on what I've seen, Oh Bong Yi and Phicha are like two different people.
In my opinion, nothing can compare to the original Mouse in terms of production, storyline, and cast. But as a standalone project, this Mouse is all right. There's only 7 episodes released so far so it is hard to give a detailed analysis of how true it stays to the source material. We'll just have to see it unfold!
At this point I’m looking forward to crying every ep. I thought the first half of 6 was bad, then 7 came at me. Then 11/12. Are the writers out to get me or what? What did I do to deserve this?
Anyways, I’m pleasantly surprised with this drama so far. Never thought I’d see CDL and XYL collab but whoever paired them up is a wiz. Chemistry off the charts. Plot is suspenseful enough to keep my butt clinched. I’m just waiting until we get more skinship between these two because ma’am, respectfully, I’m dying of a drought here.
Episode 7 destroyed something in me that I never knew existed. That overall conversation between HY and her mother was a masterpiece in itself. Replay button? Broken. Mental health? Crushed.
