A different perspective:
My Thai friend who I have lured into what others may call the “dark side” ( NY - lol) asked me what can she watch while waiting on episode 11 of LR . Her favorite pra’ek is this older and suddenly popular guy that I shall not name in here, but my pra'ek is in the running to be her #1 guy
( which I am trying all I can by bombarding her with videos and screen shots of recent Nadech - lol). Anyway, I sent her a clip of Petramin and my goodness... the girl loves it and has been binged watching since last night and up to episode 4 already
. She absolutely loves it whereas I was “okay” when I watch it last year ( It could be because i wasn’t 100% into Nadech just yet ). Also, the difference in our reactions to LLSR is that she HAD no expectations going in.
As of this morning, I have not heard one word from her about editing and post production mistakes because she’s too busy sending the laughing emojis and dying from laughters. However, when she watched LR I kept getting texts from her of criticism of editings and other issues like fake blood or glue on Allan’s beard or Alice and her actions, etc.
Btw - I rewatch 1 and 2 of LLRS to address questions from her and not sure why but I laughed my ass off too this time around. I didn’t find Aum or Tom’s interaction as annoying as I did before. Also, I have the luxury of FF Nok Yoong scenes.
