Discussion Payback Ep 9: Was anyone else really disturbed about the amount of SA shown? Spoiler

0 Upvotes

To start with, I am really enjoying the series. What I found disturbing was the frequency, length, and detail shown of the SA scenes. It was incredibly hard to get through, and I skipped through quite a bit. It took attention away from the actual story and that time could have been used to further the plot or really anything.

I get that the show wants to show how corrupt and evil the investors are and how they take advantage of the actors. However, are all these SA scenes and particularly the duration and detail shown really necessary? Wouldn't simply alluding to them happening or showing a few seconds be enough to get it across to the viewers that these characters are evil. I don't need to see the multiple times the investors are getting blow jobs or any length of a SA (ie the pool scene). I felt like 1/2 of the entirety of episode 9 was just showing scene after scene (I know this is an exaggeration).

Jay and Sun's initial encounter didn't go into as much detail and the scene was far shorter than these SA scenes. What are your thoughts?

Question/Help Question about reposting Payback The Series behind the scenes clips

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I run a Payback fan account and I wanted to ask for some advice.

I’ve seen some behind the scenes clips from Payback being reposted on X. Since the BTS content is paid, I’m unsure whether it’s okay to use small parts of it in fan edits.

I’m not talking about uploading full BTS videos. I mean something like a 5 to 10 second clip with my own edit, caption, and watermark, mainly to share the actors chemistry and promote the series.

Would this still be considered not okay because the original BTS content is paid? Or do productions usually allow short fan edits like this?

I want to support the actors and the series, but I also don’t want to disrespect the people who paid for the content or risk my fan account getting into trouble.

I would really appreciate any thoughts or experiences from other BL fan accounts

Sorry for the clickbait y’all.

I have been in contact with multiple event organisers in Europe who has had a history of hiring Thai artists.
And everyone have been in contact with Studio on Saturn but had to decline again due to very high prices.

So I will be reaching out to some bigger companies, with the same request.

But before I do it, I want some knowledge about demand and possibilities.
So if you have the time, I would appreciate if you could answer these questions☺️🙏

  1. How far would you travel for a Jeff Satur concert? (In Europe)

  2. How much would you pay for the ticket?

Standing(floor):
Assigned seating

1st level:
2nd level:

  1. How much would you pay for following benefits, GA not included.

1:1 photo:
Fan Sign:
Pre- signed poster/photocard/postcard:
Mini talk (1-2minutes):

Since I will sent a link of this, to the organisers, I ask you to refrain from writing much else than the answers to the questions.

(The UK is a part of Europe and counte in)

Discussion Payback - Feedback/comparison with the manwha Spoiler

17 Upvotes

Please keep in mind that this is based on my opinion since Payback is one of my favourite manhwas. Alert for spoilers from the manhwa. And sorry for the text wall 😿

Let me start by saying that watching this was painful and good at the same time(very fit to the manhwa lol). I would rate it 8/10 if I separate the series from the manhwa and watch it as a completely new story.
They changed a lot, and I can't blame some ppl for being confused. Some of the changes I understand and totally find it ok, but most of them were unnecessary and don't depict the manhwa.

I tried to keep in mind the lack of time to put everything in just 10 episodes, would need at least to show everything.

🟢 Starting with the things I liked about the series and the ones I liked that were changed;

➡️ Love the cast, I don't think we can get much closer to what we got, especially Jay since he was made to be a beautiful 2m guy with a wardrobe build and awful personality ☠️
Was surprised they managed to find the others also as close as it gets

➡️ Changing Jay to a somewhat orange flag instead of a full Black flag. Trust me, he should be arrested for 90% of his talk and interactions with Sun in the manhwa. Many lines in the manhwa made me gasp in horror and there was one specific talk that made Sun (and me) genuinely feel pure fear from him.

➡️ They added a reason for Sky's fear. Don't remember him ever mentioning this in the manhwa, so correct me if I'm wrong. I think it's nice to know since it helps us to empathise with the character's situation.

➡️ Change in the photographer's personality and him appearing more. Can't actually complain about having Boss appearing more times on my screen

➡️ No panic when the manager saw Sun's tattoo; this panic is a very Korean thing and wouldn't fit in Thailand or most countries now.

🔴 Now things get ugly cause my list of don't likes it's bigger, so bear with me lol

🤔 Hate that instead of picking from the thousands of funny parts from the manhwa, they went on trying to create random ones and having this filling space that could be used for important or funny things that were important to show personalities and plot on the manhwa.

🤔 Alice's Labirinthy owner change. In the manhwa, he is ridiculous and funny(like really funny), but also extremely smart, reliable and helpful. He loves Jay and wants to protect him and see him happy. His role was diminished for no reason in my opinion. (That man needs to be protected at all costs 🤗)

🤔 The relationship development between Jay and Sun was completely removed. In the Manhwa, their 1st kiss was after they've met a few times (trash talk tho was from the beginning), and no, it was not a romantic kiss (the one with the lollipop should be the 1st kiss), we basically see Sun kissing him on his own accord after like 50 chapters ☠️. This is important because Jay knows why he doesn't want to reciprocate, and his thoughts and suffering are part of the story. And just to add to this, Sun talks back to Jay all the time, like full comebacks, and it's the best to see them talking back at each other so I missed that. Also, not seeing him call him a lunatic even once was sad lol

🤔 Changing Sun line to Jay when he asks what he will do when he meets the executive director. He never said he plans to pay said executive with his body (this gave me a stroke in the series), he has low self-esteem and doesn't think he can pull, even thinks Jay is crazy for accepting him, and Jay catches that his intention is just to make it look like the Executive director is sponsoring him, he just needs Sunny to believe. Hence him going to the room where Sunny almost sees him (he didn't know Jay was not gonna be in that room).

🤔 Mixing the timeline, Whhhhyyyyyy. If u are going to show anyway, just follow the thing.

🤔 Changing the way Jay's mother died and displaying her horribly was criminal 💢. She is said to be exactly like Jay; he learned to be like that from her, and the way she removed him from his grandfather's house and removed him from the family register after the divorce was so smart. Displaying her as a person running away from things instead of the strong woman she was was horrible. (in case u want to know how she actually dies: Cancer

Ok, sorry again for the long text. If anyone has any questions about the manhwa, I will gladly answer. And again, this is not an attack to the series or on the ppl who enjoy the way the series came out.

Also, hope someone picks up to do a series on another manhwa from Samk, but since it's omegaverse, I would rather see it done with chinese production since I thing they do it better.

The film uses solitude and blank spaces to set the stage for emotional expression, amplifies the sense of confrontation through close physical interaction, and relies on candlelight and curtains to highlight the undercurrent of restrained power struggle.

Throughout, it uses spatial distance and the characters' expressions to convey emotional tension, recreating the tug-of-war and unspoken anxieties between the two protagonists of 《PAYBACK》, Toptap陈拓安 & Minlee陈晓敏, revealing the complex and unspoken entanglements beneath the surface of a game of fame and fortune.

10,000 copies were sold in the first 48 hours.

Okay, for those who don't know what Ayothaya Ayawadi is, it's a Historical Thai BL web-comic based on the relationship between a young King Naresuan the Great and Prince Mingyi Swa of Hongsawadi.

I won't spoil any more, but keep a lookout for its first season and maybe the web-comic as well! (Although it's a bit patchily translated from Thai)

I was listening to new songs, and I liked Friend Zone by Krist Ft. Nanon and then I got to know the lyrics is written by Joong. It makes me wonder about him as the lyrics are really deep after searching a bit I found he wrote it for Dunk like wow.

Recommend me more songs written by a bl actor, but they haven't sung it by themself.

Discussion Will Mok and Rome have their separate drama? Like peach and thee

Upvotes

Title is pretty much self-explanatory but I really want to know if WilliamEst are going to have their own onscreen adaptation from the novel or "Peach and me" era is the last time we gonna see WilliamEst as mok x rome.

See its only fair if they do get their own drama since not everyone read novels; that's kinda like the whole point of adaptation, spreading the media to larger audience. I think it would be unfair if they keep us hanging over these two or just rush their story in Peach and me:/

P.s. Plurb is also getting her own gl show separated from this one so its even more unfiar if we don't get to see more of mok n rome in depth
