EP2 review, overall, 8/10

EP2 review, overall, 8/10SHINE is undoubtedly excellent in terms of photography, transitions and casting, especially APO and SON. I prefer ep1 more because in terms of editing and scriptwriting, the logic is very good and the rhythm is also well controlled.However, in EP2, it's obvious that there were issues with the editing and rhythm again. The old problems of BOC still exist. There are two parts that are too long. First, the opening plot about KRAILERT and his ex-lover could have been told in half the time. By saving the time, the story of KRAILER and NARAN could have been told more fully. This way, the final part wouldn't be so exciting and confusing. Secondly, the part where TRIN is organizing the book is a bit too long. APO performed very well and did a great job expressing the subtle emotions. However, I think more editing could be done in the French story line. This part of the story is very important for TRIN's life choices and can better highlight TRIN's struggles.My two favorite parts: The first one is the TRIN class part. The tense atmosphere between the student and the teacher is great, and it can also be seen that APO's acting skills have improved even more (including the part where he picks up books).The second part is the passionate section between KRAILER and NARAN at the end. Apart from being a bit baffling, it's still quite good.The point I have some doubts about is: TRIN's girlfriend passed away not long ago. She was drugged and kissed once, and then fell in love with tawan. I can't understand it. Or will there be some additional details to this story later? Otherwise, it would be even more baffling than the love story of KRAILER and NARAN.

In conclusion, I can give EP1 a score of 9. But I can't fully trust BOC.

After waiting for two years, we finally saw shine's release. After going through a series of issues such as shooting delays and rewriting the script, i finally got to see my favorite actor APO return to the screen. After watching EP1, I'd like to share some thoughts1. Photography: I really like the overall shooting quality of this time. It can reach the level of film shooting. In terms of color tone, scene and transition design, it has all reached a very high level.2. I'm quite satisfied with the plot, at least in terms of the entire narrative structure and pace of the ep1. It quickly unfolds the entire storyline centered around the character TRIN, who is connected to every character in the show, making people look forward to EP2 with great anticipation.3. The casting of the actors: APO's portrayal of Trin is extremely accurate. Also, I really like the casting of Krailert this time. It's just perfect. I love his piano performance so much. Naran and victor's performance was also very natural. I'm looking forward to seeing more of their parts.4. Acting skills, I must give APO and SON a score of 90 in ep1. APO performed both the French part and the interaction with senior executive at the end very well. In France, he was a melancholy and indignant young boy. In Thailand, he was a rigorous, patriotic and mature economist. You can watch his performance. Even his eyes expression are different.5. Favorite cut:-The part where Trin and his French girlfriend finally embrace each other in silence;-Krailert the piano part;-Trin took off his shoes and tried to blend in with the environment.In conclusion, I can give EP1 a score of 9. But I can't fully trust BOC. I hope it can still maintain such a high level in the next eps. No more too many cliches and outdated plots that follow the trend.

the ending was hilarious, Ju Hyeok is a funny…

the ending was hilarious, Ju Hyeok is a funny drunk - idk how Seong Min kept a straight face. & i know i was happy when Seong Min gave Ju Hyeok the cold shoulder. but it turned out really cute, how they patched things up & finally started dating. very sweet - but have to say i found it kinda ironic that he & his Uncle the professor,met at the back of the building cause he is a student & it wouldn't look good or some such.... but that same middle aged man has no problem dating a student in the same university ???? really? yuck IMO. *****************************************************************************************************all the couples have over come hurdle's & r already living their happily ever after's, so idk what awaits in the next ep - hope no drama to get fixed a sec from the end. ***********************************************************************************************also the chemistry between all couples - really great BUT the kissing - especially the 1st couple = bad! the cold touching of the lips - why?? i don't need a hot & heavy kiss but then don't freeze frame on that kiss for long min's - blur out or something

took a break from this cause i didn't…

took a break from this cause i didn't like how Min U was playing Ma Ru or rather i didn't want him to enjoy the fruits of his deception. cause i knew Ma Ru gonna cave, especially him being sick & all. he a sweethearted pure hearted person that deserves better then a "friend" that cause he fell in-love all on his own was acting like a petty b*tch cause the person he loved wasn't also madly in-love with him. but it is what it is & pretty fast both settle into a relationship as if they have been dating forever.. which i find weird & yet i guess their actually being good friends helped **************************************************what i foresee was the whole mess with Kim An, i would've never guessed that he would turn into this pushover that allowed Si U ti continues playing with him head after everything he did to him. & that Si U was the one to finally end things between them - saying they should never meet - found that whole scene infuriating. as the wronged party that hasn't gotten his name cleared is Kim An. so him just taking it & grieving the fact that he lost the only family he had - even if understandable it wasn't easy to stomach - given who that "brother" was & what he had done to him. *******************************************************but the plus point was Lee Hyeon coming to the rescue. Kim An should thank his lucky start that someone as good & pure-hearted as Lee Hyeon wants him. ****************************************************************************************************now the 3rd couple ironically (even though i am sure it aint the end) i kinda side with Kim Seong Min, even though he read the scene wrong & Ju Hyeok wasn't flirting with someone else. given all the games he has been playing on Kim Seong Min. Kim Seong Min being the adult deserves better. IMO
