Yu family becomes even worse

​OMG, my stress levels are rising! I can't believe Mr Yu threw his son under the bus just like that and Madam Yu got Madam Wu killed! They really are willing to do literally anything to reach their goals.... 😧​And them trying to spread the rumours of Madam Zhao having an affair with Young Master Yu? They should beware of taunting that tiger in Zhao Ling's skin, because once it breaks free, none of those people will be safe... He won't tolerate anyone slandering his beloved! 😠​Madam Mo, why did you make General Mo sign that "donation" agreement? It was so obviously a bribe! How could they even consider that as an opportunity... 🤦‍♀️​Now all my hopes are on Tingyun and Concubine Wu's co-operation to clear the name of the Northwest people and maybe even reveal some of the stuff Mr and Madam Yu are doing behind the scenes. 🤞

Progress

Some of the storylines are starting to come together a bit finally, lots of secrets revealed and a few twists unfolding (although i have to admit i suspected all along). #Boat and Oat are definitely carrying this show, honestly the writing and direction is very disappointing, but the scenes with Boat and Oat pull me back in. All of the cast are good, i haven't seen the others in other projects to know if they are good actors when given a decent script, but i personally would prefer a show that had no side romance, focused on the brothers relationship with each other, and Phatsa and Nakhun's relationships, and just keep the others as side characters.If the show had a season 2 lined up i would be a lot more excited but i have a feeling i'm going to feel a bit disappointed in the next few episodes unless something really changes.Always a high rating for me as Boat and Oat are brilliant, and i love Omegaverse content so this is still a top tier show as it scratches that itch.

By finding the plot we actually lost it.

Could anybody find the strings that led to these reveals? — but first things first: the cliffhanger conclusion? wtf. Really? That‘s all you give us? I feel played. and you seem desperate at trying to keep our attention — Totally forgot about Tim, a character that only appeared once in episode 2 or idk when. — This is really not fun anymore. They are giving us a conclusion and we weren‘t even aware of one coming. — Why do NNN use guns but not their pheromones against Tim and co.? They for sure are stronger with two true alphas. — How in the world does Ongsa know all that about Sangnuea? From where? And interesting that it was in that exact moment he told Phatsa. Hm. — Sangnuea‘s entrance was like that of a fairytale villain. What a surprise it was him all along (sarcasm). It seems up until here Sangnuea played the game well but now he‘s falling apart. (I guess some props to Folk for the acting. Not my favourite acting choices but I see the effort. He needs better material to act in) — same question in this scene: why is no one using pheromone powers? Don‘t you know you‘re in the Omegaverse? — Damn, Phatsa. You just killed a man. Cold. Where did that come from? You have fought people before but killing someone like that… you must have killed before. — all this could‘ve been so good but there was (close to) no build up or tension throughout the series and then getting jumped by the conclusions like this feels like you just got surprised with the party that got teased to you the week prior… and then the party turns out to be a funeral. You didn‘t even know someone (or who) died and now you‘re sad and confused but you have to participate… and I am writing myself into a corner with this weird „analogy“. I beg your pardon. 🙏😔 See you next week. xoxo

Being there for your loved one >>

I hope people notice the small small details that are portrayed in this kdrama. The entire episode had too much of the stalker fan drama but there were some precious moments which have my heart. Spoilers>>The egg saving scene and then the ML FL sharing each other a painful yet “i’m here for you” look. The way Ha-gi on face shows being deeply hurt towards Da-reum still he went out of his way to protect her, putting his everything on line. Lee Chan had one opportunity to redeem himself and still couldn’t do shit without Ha-gi finding him the solution. The scene where Ha-gi ended up at Dareum’s place and blurs out that ‘he missed her and is worried bout her’ has my whole heart🤍

I am not ready for this.

Okay let me first get mentally strong. Because i am not okay. Firstly, the episode start with the most domestic scene ever. And i am loving it. Then the actual thing about previous episode got disclose, which make me angry at people who are behind everything. Phat save kaye. Thing is in a little bit good condition even though one nagging feeling are there at the back of my head. And them bam it actually happened. Now i am in trauma. And let me clear it, this series in already full of traumas. Now i have more. By the end of the series i don't know what going to happen to our mental situation.Btw, Tee acted so well in this episode. Love him.

Interesting start, is it sustainable?

The Arabic word Nour (นูร์) means “Light”or maybe in this case “ghost” an interesting title for a story that opens in such darkness. The show begins with an immortal who desperately wants to stop being immortal, immediately giving me Highlander vibes: dark, mysterious and enigmatic. The dynamic between the two male leads is antagonistic from the start, but we’re given little context as to why. So what exactly is the secret between them?They occupy very different roles. One is an immortal we last see apparently dying inside a washing machine, yes, a washing machine. (My nephew once climbed inside one himself, so scenes like this give relatives like me bad ideas about what kids might try) Five years later, he is somehow a doctor and police investigator.The other is what I can only describe as a Miami Vice Don Johnson-esque rogue police officer, the kind of cop who treats rules as suggestions when pursuing an investigation. They are polar opposites who eventually become one.And this is where my concern with the writing begins.I’m a stickler for flow, continuity and consistency. Withholding context can be an effective storytelling device, but it comes with a responsibility: the writers better have good answers. Confusion may be intentional, but the story must eventually connect the dots in a way that makes sense. “We did it for creative reasons” is not a substitute for common sense.The ending returns us to the washing machine and begins connecting those dots. So now the question is: where do we go from here?I’ve noticed this in quite a few Thai dramas: the creativity is there, but the research, continuity, editing or production discipline doesn’t always match the ambition. So far, however, NOUR is promising on the production side. The visuals are strong, the music is consistent, and the OST is spot on.As for the acting, it’s already clear who the seasoned performers are and who is still finding their footing.I also like that our two male leads didn’t come out of the usual “ship” machine. That makes the series feel fresher. There is no established fan-service dynamic distracting from the characters, and I hope the show continues developing their acting and creative skills rather than pandering to “shipping” culture.After one episode, I’m intrigued but watching carefully.You’ve created the mystery, NOUR. Now let’s see if you can solve it.
