it isn’t just westerners who say that… and it isn’t just westerners who care about looks. just like it isn’t just easterners who say that and who care about looks. anyway, we’ll agree to disagree because for me it just feels like you’re happy to make the comments you don’t like seeing others make lol

the main users are from USA, India and the Phillipines respectively. of course there are other sites and apps that are more commonly used outside of the west but that doesn’t mean the comments you’re talking about were posted by westerners. it’s not wrong to say we don’t know when none of them have their location public, that’s all i’m saying^^ i just don’t agree with the generalised digs whether it’s towards the east or west

i mean, none of the people who posted about his picture even have their location public… so what ‘westerners’? but beyond that, i still think it makes sense for people to prefer that the photo on someone’s profile actually looks like them.

they mean confirmed to be a paired couple. which it seems they likely are (given their success as a pair, the fact that they’re both under the same company and they obviously enjoyed working together—and worked well together).

tbf if the picture doesn’t match how he actually looks, it’s harder for people to find his profile

also a lot of people are commenting on the title being “Payback” but there not being any payback; but isn’t the title about Sun and Jay? Sun’s nickname literally being currency, Jay constantly asking Sun to pay him back, them asking each other how they will pay each other back, Sun giving Jay money when they first met, etc.

not only that but “payback” i think is better to understand not as in revenge but as in karma (that is, those who do good will ultimately receive good; those who do bad will ultimately receive bad). a major plot point is that Sun more or less gives up on revenge because he starts to seek instead a healthy, healed and happy life.

i get maybe it’s not what some were hoping for but there are comments suggesting it’s an oversight or that the ‘revenge’ has been lacklustre; but it’s all intentional. i feel like the previous episodes did a good job at showing that Sun was shifting away from wanting revenge to focusing on living well (building relationships, helping others, doing a job he enjoys for the first time ever, etc.). that is to say, Sun is receiving his “payback”/good karma (having others care about and treat him well, being helped by others, etc.).

omg Min and TopTap intend to do more projects together!!!! TopTap said “There’s more to come. We’ve only made it this far because we’ve been together. I’d love to do 2, 3, 4, and many more projects with Minlee”.

after watching them together in Payback, i can only say i am glad and i am being fed 🙂‍↕️

a major plot point is Sun’s focus shifting AWAY from revenge. and to be fair, i think “Payback” refers more to the relationship between Sun and Jay (their first interaction where Sun paid him, Jay calling Sun Two Baht, Jay putting a price on the cigarette + other things, them asking each other how to pay each other back, etc.).

kinda making me wonder whether there might be a season 2…

while there are definitely some things that are a bit disappointing (like Sun not coming across as very street smart despite his upbringing lol), i think some of y’all have missed that SUN’S FOCUS HAS SHIFTED FROM REVENGE! it’s not that he’s FAILING to take revenge when he is trying; the whole point of the last ~2 episodes, and the idea that was forming even in episodes prior to that, is that Sun has subconsciously redirected his focus to building a positive life, building positive relationships, etc. rather than throwing everything away for revenge. it follows the source material…

Sun only started seeking revenge after overhearing Sunny. that is to say, he didn’t have a plan going into Dream Entertainment - and pretty quickly he found people he loved/trusted and his focus shifted from revenge to wanting to live his life well and trying to let go of his own guilt surrounding the deaths of his mother and brother. like, i don’t think they were trying to make him seem as if he was seeking revenge effectively because the point was that he was largely shifting his focus to something more positive (and then Sunny is the juxtaposition; becoming worse and worse)

i like it! as much as i’m enjoying all of the heavier shows airing atm, this is just cute and fun and a nice change of pace :)

i am curious about the face reveal happening so soon… i haven’t read the novel this is based on but i went into the show thinking the face reveal would be one of the bigger parts of the story. obviously not LOL

thank you! how do you get to that page? hahah sorry to bother you :)

how do you see age group stats? o: i used to be able to but now i can only see the ratings for each episode, no further breakdown

i think he’s a simp and he’s cheeky lol. they aren’t mutually exclusive

i put off watching this for some reason… really not sure why. but now that i’ve started, i can say it’s actually really good

They weren’t being an arsehole at all. Also you can see the episode ratings on MDL so them knowing the rating is literally a matter of one click from the main/comments page.

to be fair, not really… like, the comments aren’t very nice but at the end of the day, that user was obviously criticising the acting. but yeah, there are nicer, more constructive ways to do that, that’s for sure!

seriously, in order to “scroll past” we have to scroll past their hundreds of comments? wish they would just go away LOL. it’s enough for their bad take to be posted once—why do they have to post it again and again and again?

he admitted that he was the one who reposted so no, it’s not that “maybe he account was hacked”
