watched 1st two eps and wanna ask that if this gets better cz i dont feel hooked at it
I mean interest depends on personal preference and standards. I was hooked immediately by ep 1. If you haven't found interest yet, then I say give it to ep3 and if you still aren't interested, then it's best to just drop and go watch something else that you're interested in. It's no good to continue watching something you don't like, as it will just build resentment and regret for wasting your time. No harm in dropping a series you don't find very interesting 😄
someone give me tee on how these guys got paired.. and just whatever tea is there to give.. lol
(hiding under spoiler cuz i dont wanna clog the comment section with too much tea)
based on what i've seen and learned over the past month, they got paired through a domundi show called "DMD friendship the reality" where the generation, which would be keng and namping's gen 3, all join to do missions and build their chemistry to ultimately choose a partner they feel most chemistry/comfortable with and be an official pair. however, i have seen fans say these guys (keng&namping, thomas&kong (the other official pair that came out of the show)) were already close prior to this show and everyone already knew who's gonna be official pairs and that the show was just for fan interest and engagement. tle and firstone didn't end up being official pairs through this show itself but because they got close in the show, they became official pairs afterward.
most of the tea i know for knp is the "pack noodle" tea. in the friendship show, after one person wins a mission, they can choose another member to go eat a luxury dinner with to talk and bond. in the first ep, keng won, but he chose someone else. as the members got paired up, namping was paired last with another member, and they both only got to eat cheap pack noodles. this became the "pack noodle" joke that haunts Keng to this day. fans like to tease keng about it and he just sort of sits in shame most of the time, because namping was also expected to be picked so he was disappointed about the outcome. to this day keng pays the price for choosing someone else.
second tea is the word "bro". i havent gotten to the bottom of this one yet but it seems the word "bro" is not a word Keng likes. Namping often uses this word to describe their friendship which usually sends Keng into a cute fit.
third tea is recent. so we all know who Phakaphong is. after ep5, khem got a "love rival" and in irl, it's even worse. Phakaphong sounds similar to Plakapong, which is a thai word for 'sea bass'. During interviews, namping often mention that he wants to eat sea bass, which will send keng into a cute fit again. Keng himself identifies with fermented fresh water fish, so this competition between sea bass and fermented fish is on-going. in the ep7 premier show last saturday, Keng and Nammon (Pong's actor) got into a heated competition over who took care of Khem best. Funniest part is when Nammon asked the audience who's the protagonist, everyone agreeed it was Nammons character Pong because he's been good to Khem. but here's what gets better. recently when Khemjira won an award, during the award show Namping happened to be standing next to Win Metamin (Tine from 2gether). they didn't really interact much but fans noticed and blew up about those cuties being together. which led to Win sending Namping macarons (Win is owner of shop). now the competition is between macarons, sea bass, and fermented fish.
adding on to that tea, Win also plays a character called Ajin, who has powers similar to dark magic in the show Enigma. in interviews edited together, Keng is seen saying in terms of powers, Por Kru can beat Ajin. Win on the other hand has said he found nong Namping cute and he has the power of Ajin to compete with Por Kru if need be. i've seen WinNamping ghost ship edits going around, it's great. the multiverse is converging. the jealousy drama in khemjira is already heated enough, these guys just had to spice it up irl too.
that's all the popular tea i know. i think it's all an elaborate funny joke and i am living for it.
am i the only one who's not excited(excited but not that excited) for the kiss but excited for what the lady ghost…
similar here. jet and charn already fed us, i think i can wait a while longer for khem and pharan's turn. imo rampheung backstory is more intriguing for the time being.
the horror theme/genre is interesting for me but kinda afraid to start, please enlighten me
personally only the first episode had *true* horror. the haunting music paired with the jump scares got me one time, but after that, the rest of the episodes are pretty chill. i dont think you have to be afraid of anything, just brace yourself for that first episode and relax for the rest.
Fun fact: DarkAngeeel, SweetCat, BOOSunshine, RoRoow, LunnaNight, bel, dietresky, claumendes - that's the same…
the fact that i had 80% of these usernames blocked over the course of a couple weeks from different interactions (will have 100% blocked after this). idk if they are in fact the same person or not but all i know is all my interactions with them have felt icky because they're always saying some dumb negative sht that is unprompted. and it's not like all my interactions on here with others have been rainbows and sunshine, and it's not like i haven't seen critical opinions either, it's just specifically with these user(s), the interactions just felt wrong, so i blocked them.
GUYS GUYS GUYS!!!! NEXT EPISODE WILL BE 1 HOUR 43 MINUTES!!!
i saw a video in passing namping and keng mentioning something about ep8 is gonna be full of good stuff (alluding to spicy stuff), so hopefully the 1hr43mins contains some of those good stuffs :V
Am I the only one who's more captivated by the chemistry of the main couple? I mean, I like the second couple…
both couple's cute in their own way. and depends on what you're looking for in a relationship, you'll like that one more. i prefer quiet yearning, so i'd still pick pharan and khem's development over jet and charn (even though pharan does piss me off most the time lol). i've seen people say they like jet and charns open honesty, so they'll probably like jetcharn more in that aspect.
so i know pong's character is supposed to be playful and carefree and he just says and does whatever he wants but the asian in me is like, isn't this dude younger than pharan, plus they aren't even that close, plus pharan is a master, he's got some title and status of required respect, why's pong acting so disrespectful? but then my logical side is like, pharan has been mad mean to khem, maybe this is his deserved karma 😂😂
I thought that "you'll get sunburned" comment was a warning for Pong because he took his shirt off, but then I saw some people say it was a concern for khem to be careful since he's in the sun so much, so which is it? 🤔🔍
Okay, now that I've calmed down a bit, let me reorganize my thoughts about this ep.
Honestly, since ep6, I thought CharnJet would develop more slowly but it's like, whiplash. In ep6 we just explored more about them and seeing their relationship start to bloom, Charn is just starting to connect the dots and Jet is being more friendly with Charn, and then this ep they're already pollinating their flowers. A bit fast, imo. But of course, won't disregard their efforts in the making of the scenes. They're cute af and I still like them. This is definitely an issue with directing and script.
In terms of PharanKhem, I think this ep showed more of Pharan's inner jealousy. I like it. It's quiet but it's loud. Especially in the beginning when the camera angles show where his line of sight is while he's occupied with Prim. Like I need more of that. And less of this covert mean rudeness. You can pretend to be disinterested without barking so much, chill. You'll get further in life (and in those pants) by being a little nicer, trust.
Once again, I really like the shots in this series so far. The scenery is beautiful and I find myself really mesmerized by some scenes. Although I do feel sometimes the production value doesn't match the quality of the story. The way things are shot sometimes feel more grander than what we've seen in story telling. My sister thought the same when I recommended her to watch this. 1st ep she told me "wow, I didn't expect a BL to look like this. It's surprising." At this point of the story, it is what it is so I'm just gonna be here for the rest of the show.
Anyway, back to the ep, I honestly don't think they're gonna kiss. I mean. I hope they do, but I just have suspicions Pharan's gonna grab the food or smth and then it's all, sike! And then they're gonna hear some weird sounds coming from above them, and theyre gonna awkwardly look around, and then back to square one. Idk. Prove me wrong but I'm not having high hopes 😅
5 more episodes to go. Rampheung, my girlie she is bored, she needs to come play. She's probably tired of watching the gays and their angst lol.
Ok I generally like this series but it has to have some rules in its world building. Like the rules of when ghosts…
Generally ghosts are bound to a certain area. For instance the snake lord guy from the previous episode. He would be bound to the forest as the protector. You wouldn't find him roaming bangkok eating papaya salad in the bustling night market. Also the holy spirits in this episode too, theyre bound to the land. If they are a karma ghost, even more so bound to the person. Also...why would a ghost go travel the world? like a ghost on vacation? Lol. No offense, just the thought is kinda funny to me 😂. Anyway, also generally any body can use magic if they know the spells. Like khem using that love spell from the paper. Also like when you see regular people pray and chant to deter ghosts, that's technically a "spell" too, so this "magic" thing isn't exactly exclusive unless you wanna learn the more powerful and complex ones.
Of course there are proper techniques to learn, like through a mentor and disciple, but some people dont follow rules, they are troublemaker like the guy in this episode using black magic. Dunno if he has a master who tought him but he could have stolen a spell book? Who knows.
I do agree they should build this aspect of it more for people who are unfamiliar. But i guess it's such a common thing in thailand it just went unnoticed. Unlike Harry Potter where they have exclusivity, magic in thailand is sort of a "anybody can but most people dont" because look at pharan. Need to be relationship less, have a duty to the people. Who wants to learn complex techniques to be this? Think of monks and nuns. Anyone can be a monk or a nun, but not everyone wants to be a monk or a nun. The title comes with disadvantages if fully committed.
Also there's the aspect of knowing too much. When you get involved with magic, youre gonna see stuff normal people dont, so why bother? The less you know, the better you live. Most ghosts arent bothering people, but if you invite them, they will come. Thats why thai people have the belief "dont believe but don't disrespect". Like the classmates who got taken. They didnt believe but they disrespected the land and the system.
Okay so im gonna have a major problem with this episode because now that my eyes have been fed delicious food…
The way firstone and tle's lips were already red af before the makeout session i already knew im gonna be pausing a whole lot just to catch my breath. Theyre crazy 🤪 i wonder how many takes it took for the final product lol hopefully they drank lots of water, they look dehydrated from eating each other.
Okay so im gonna have a major problem with this episode because now that my eyes have been fed delicious food and IF THIS IS NOT THE SAME CASE FOR OUR MAIN COUPLE THEN IM GONNA RIOT BECAUSE WYD MEAN CHARN AND JET ATE, ROLLED AROUND, AND RODE THEIR HORSES AND THEY'RE THE SECOND, SIDE COUPLE. IF PHARAN AND KHEM DONT RIDE THEIR HORSES TOO WITH THIS MUCH PASSION IM GONNA LOSE IT. IDC HOW THEY'RE GONNA GET THERE BUT THEY BETTER GET THERE 😤
