Well, I watched enough shows to notice that "Studio Wabi Sabi" struggles to make even an average one (the script, the photography, the editing, the "music"...) so when I spotted Kao Noppakao whom I remember from 'Lovely Writer' I was surprised, I thought they use only novice "actors". He doesn't have a real role in this one though, only someone's past self.
No, the main roles are completely different level. Both the main couple boys sadly cannot measure up to the "flashback couple" we see right in the beginning of the series. The two end up tragically in a blatant stupid scene, when they shoot their brains out while both their fathers are only helplessly watching, but then the unexplicably good cast (one of fathers is portrayed by Nirut Sirijanya! where did Wabi Sabi get Nirut Sirijanya?) is gone and for the rest of the series we are supposed to watch someone... well, else. The only big role for a female is a loud, chubby and annoying girl, to remind us we are to firmly concentrate on boys, here. Mean Phiravich is in insignificant, small side-role. Considering that is how they used the most attractive guy they had on the whole cast... Most viewers praised the second couple. Shall they save this?
So far, I keep watching to give this a chance. There are still scenes with the "old couple", which I skip by now, though. I can watch either one version or the other. And if I am to give chance to the "new couple", I have to quit watching the old one. And I honestly want to see how much there is to this couple if we don't count the past life destiny thing.
Also, there should be the 'WinTeam' couple to watch, and I am all for it, if they should be free of any "reincarnated lovers" cr*p. But, as the secondary couple, they have less screentime: so I'll have to wait for it...
Episode 4, Mean Phiravich's character expresses his interest in one of the boys. Whoops! Tricky. I'm sure I am now not alone who'd just ride on this wave and watch another 'Love By Chance 2' here. Who cares about the other boy, now? He can't beat Mean Phiravich.
Epi 6: Scenes with the previous life couple KEEP coming. Why?? The cast is SO much better. It's more interesting because they live in late 80's when being gay is not so much in fashion. But, as their scenes are only random flashbacks, this show's creators did not have to do the whole "period" drama properly. Instead, these scenes help the contemporary lame duo - threatened by the presence of Mean Phiravich - to have at least some chemistry, thanks to the audience already knowing their tragic love past story and therefore feeling for the characters even before they earned it. See, on both accounts, this show's creators made their job easier for themselves. So, my guess is we'll watch this half-and-half for the rest of the series...
Also this episode, for the first time I noticed WinTeam interacting a bit. There is also Plan Rathavit in his little guest role and it's SO cute you wish to keep him & the main cast to p**s off:) But they stay there, virtually haunted by the CONSTANT flashbacks. I smirked thinking whether people would be able to actually live their normal life, if everyone was able to remember their past lives so readily.
Epi 7, the boys said to each other that they remember one another from the past life and that they found each other now. The way I see it, it could be the end of this story... I feel no need to weep about it for 10 more episodes. Perhaps next role of Mean Phiravich will finally be in something good?
