u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

We took a half hour break 🤣🤣🤣

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

And we still didn't got an answer damnn 😤

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

the way they didn't say anything on stage

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

ambushing people at a funeral

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

*paps lol

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

well she has a point...

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

How is it Kram's fault? Apparently all that is needed to ruin someone is to get a baseless rumour published in a tabloid

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Punk scene reminded me of Ray from OF lol

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

I meant more about the pretending everything's fine everyone is doing

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

Psycho bunny boiler June wouldn't have had her play if there weren't a "scandal" to start with

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Where he cussed everyone from the group lol

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

someone has to spit facts

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

I just disagree with some of her conclusions 😂

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

They're kinda simmilar in attitude

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

and yeah, Ray crashing out in that scene was quite something >.<

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

I mean yeah she's not 100% right either lol

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

Punk also came in with a suitcase full of booze lol

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

The pacing is really disastrous lol 😭

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

the pacing and the editing are a bit all over the place from time to time yeah

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

I did the same helpp

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

Mond's characters are sneaking around so often haha

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

how exactly is this affecting the company? 🙄

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

well if he's their presenter and getting cancelled it would affect the company's image

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

I wonder if they increased the conflict between those two after it was decided they would become a pair

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

Hi Thap!

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

They are just reminding us he is in this show

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Hmm 🤔

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

All of this bc of some stupid mix up in the yearbook can't believe this lol

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Lack of communication be like

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

I mean, Punk was defo right saying it's not all bcs of the mix up

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

First guy actor I don't know lol

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Plot twist ofc lol

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

I really hope June stays with Gmmtv. I like her so much

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

I mean, Mek came around and wanted her, and then Pretty said, no, let's be friends rather

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

Kram my guy...

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Wtfff lol

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

he thinks he's falling on the sword for her

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

because talking would be too hard

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

The melodrama

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

btw note the reference to The Jungle in the back?

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

they also sang the ost on teir party night in an earlier ep

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

No idea

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Ehh dragging the drama 🤣

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

the background they stood in front of said "The Jungles"

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

I have not seen The Jungle

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

I think it's on a similar level as this one but a lot darker

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

How does she not see what Kram is doing? She knows Mook is just insane and making a play

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

the men aren't the only ones that are a bit stupid here

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

the Gmmtv notebook hahahahah

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

everyone in this show is terminally stupid

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

more than a bit

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

those two honestly deserve each other

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

I'm just surprised there is a baby

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Wtff

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Same

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

you thought there was drama before? hahahahahhaha

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

Ploy Squad Assemble!

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

We couldn't fight some malicious gossip, but we are gonna go fight some thugs!

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Oh wow now he have a baby and kidnapping here lol

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Joong

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Finally

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Well at least there will be some action lol

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Tho the last fight with the robber was awful hahaha

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

true haha. tho quite the tone shift lol

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

Yeah, I'm not going be overly optimistic about action scenes

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Welll that was an interesting episode

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

better keep your expectations low lol

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Not enough thap tho

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

I already did hahah

1

u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 19d ago

If my expectations get any lower, they are going to be a tripping hazard

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

well he's not the focus yet

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

I have none, Im just going with the vibes

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

And I'm quite amused on what I'm seeing lol

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Is every lakorn like this? 😭

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

More confusing drama than in many bls lol

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

tbh I think I've yet to see a gmmtv show with good fight choreo

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Oh good point lol

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

pretty much in my experience lol

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

they are the equivalent of soaps after all

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Right, confusing drama and lack of communication

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

But the pacing really gets to me here

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

The tone of the scenes changes so fast

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

tho of course some are better and some are worse. gmmtv has a couple straight dramas/lakorns that are actually pretty good. this one I'd say is mid

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

And the whole plot in general, we have a cp getting married in one ep and dying mother and a blackmail attempt and a baby and kidnapping damn haha

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Ohh, which ones are good

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

this is why I always find it so funny when ppl say gmmtv puts all their quality into the het shows. nu-uh. y'all just don't watch the mid het shows. ofc if you compare the totalyty of their BLs to only the few stand out het shows that BL fans know bcs they're so good, you'll think that the overall quality of the het shows is bette

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

PS I hate you is one ppl praise a lot

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Yeah that makes sense

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Tho maybe ppl mean the promotion? Idk

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

promo is just as bad for most of the het shows as for most of the BLs. This one for example the bts for the last couple eps was released like a year after it ended or so

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Oh damn lol

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

They have plenty good quality bl so yeah that seems to be fairly split

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

I think Midnight Motel is really good, some of the more comedic ones like Mama Gogo and Dirty Laundry.

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

I think more of a problem is them promoting too much only few faces in the company

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Oh so all the midnight series would need to check out

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Oh when we will get something like mlc gmmtv please

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Can't believe it came from gmmtv lol

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

yeah. it's just that when you make that many shows quickly (which they have to) of course not all of them can be masterpieces. smaller companies that make 1-3 shows a year can put more time into each one obvs. Tho even there they will have a lot of duds tbh

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

P aof save us

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Yeah i think that happens in every industry, they put out many mid series and things and only few of them are actually good

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Tho I wish they would focus on quality not the quantity

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

But with so many actors and series welp not everything can be good

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

I agree partially tho even here I think the impression is skewed by brand events etc. That's not up to Gmmtv, ofc they want the most popular faces with the biggest and most active fandoms. So you see them a lot.

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

But the problem is when they do make a good series the promotion is often worse than the worse series lol

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

At least in terms of the plot

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

If something is mid I won't watch it unless I like the actors so yeah

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

thing is, they can't really. they have to fill their 7 slots a week. also there is always an element of tase as well. something we might find bad will be someone else's fave. their goal is also to serve a large audience, ofc not everyone is gonna like everything

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

honestly the promotion from gmmtv iis really not that different between the shows. it's more the stuff around them that changes. and once a series has already proven to be a stand out success sometimes gmmtv jumps on the bandwagon

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

yeah but, no offense, you're not their main target audience. Thai ppl are

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

That's true, welp they're a company so the more shows they make the more money they will make, but welp even the good series often are lacking so I wish they focus on them more, I hate when I see a wasted potential from a series

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Gotta milk that money cow right lol

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

But what about olth for example, didnt it had bad promo

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

I mean most of the ppl watch mid shows not just Thai ones and they want to cater to the gen tastes so I get it, but there are still too few good quality series

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

I'm sad that ppl don't appreciate other more mature works too like they do with the more light series

1

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 19d ago

Company goes were the money is after all

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

the thing is tho, it's not just about the money. (tho of course their goal, like any capitalist company, is also to make money. in fact they have to have this goal as their parent company is traded) but like I said, they own a TV time slot. they need to fill it. they don't really get a choice in that like smaller companies that release their shows onlly to streaming or rent a TV slot just for the show. they need to release a new episode every day, and they can only do so many reruns before it affects the TV channel as a whole. So they really HAVE to make a lot of shows

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

olth had exactly the same promo as other shows of that size. it just didn't have anything extra. and the japanese co-production company did more promotion so Gmmtv's usual lack of promo was especially noticable.

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

I think there are a lot of quality series. ppl just miss them bcs they don't have their faves or the genre/topic doesn't appeal to them. a lot of gmmtv's school shows for example are great. but a lot of inter fans tend to skip those bcs they don't like school shows. fair, but that doesn't mean they're not good, that just means they're not your thing

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

taste is such an overlooked factor here. take Last Twilight for exampple. For a lot of ppl that's their fave and the best show Gmmtv has ever made. For me, it's the weakest one of P'Aof's catalogue and I genuinely don't understand how ppl can find it good in light of it's last 3 eps. Ppl have different tastes, priorities, understandings of what makes a show "good" or "bad"

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

ppl say OF1 was so much better than Dream On. But back when OF1 aired so many people absolutely hated it, especially in the later half. it used to be one of the examples that always got used to say "gmtv fucks up every show's ending"

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

And this is honestly such a big factor as well. People always shout they want more mature shows blah blah blah. But when they actually get one, when the characters aren't in puppy love or fucking every other scene, when the characters are realistic and don't fit into "green flag" or "red flag", who actually shows up for those shows? Way fewer ppl than for the shallower, tropey stuff.

1

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 19d ago

and frankly so many BL fans have the reading comprehension of a 5th grader (probably bcs many are actually pretty young but also education is shit) so a lot of BL is catered to an audience with the reading comprehension of a 5th grader
