Let’s Watch it Again
The moral of the story: Everyone has a dark side, or a darkness that surrounds them. But what one must realize is to never give into that darkness, because one must have the strength to see the good in what they have rather than to let the darkness consume them due to their situation. No matter if one believes in ghosts, or a particular religion. At the end of the day, we must find it within ourselves to do good and be good, or we will never know what holding ourselves accountable is all about. No matter how one must look on the outside, what matters is within. You can be perfect on the outside, but watch out, someone may see what you really are inside. What good has being evil ever done? Maybe a lot. But not in a good way. So, don’t carry all that bad around. Let the good come through and show you the way. Therefore, fight your demons! Don’t let them consume you!
Anywho, I have to agree with the others. The Thai version is better. Don’t get me wrong, the Korean version is the OG, but…This version was more edgy, no filter, and hilarious! The romance was well-played and so sweet (Off X Jeen forever). I smiled at how open they were about their feelings, and how they truly acted like a couple. The scene where she washed his hair was so heartwarming, and Off’s loyalty to Jeen was endearing.
I was also a fan of the guy friends (the duo) in the Korean version. But I’m an even bigger fan of the duo in the Thai version. Leng and Junior made me laugh so much. The more I saw of them, the more I recognized their strengths. But not only that, they made me realize that when you connect with individuals and it starts to become this routine; you start to shine based on the chemistry and camaraderie. The more the club started to take off, I started to see that Leng and Junior weren’t all talk, but they actually served a purpose and could contribute their strengths and talents to the group. Off started taking the duo seriously, and without saying it, considered them good friends. The scene where the duo and Off are drunk in the bar and singing is so funny. The song they sang was really nice too.
I don’t think anything was rushed at the end. It all ended nicely, although, I was slightly frustrated with Jeen’s mother, but I did understand where she was coming from. And it turned out alright in the end. Nothing that had me wishing it was executed differently (a lot better approach than in the kdrama).
I’ll come back and definitely rewatch the drama again.
But there are things I must note:
- I wish Leng’s lover from his past life would have turned up at the end as a student at the school, or in the very least, bumped into him somehow. But I don’t know much about reincarnation, so maybe it wasn’t possible.
- I think the reason why Hyunji (the lead of Kdrama version) didn’t necessarily remember her experience as a ghost was because perhaps her memories started to become blurred with her reality. Everything started to become blurred, which is a good thing. Everything started to group together naturally (falling back in love with Bongpul and joining Soondae Soup)
- I like how the duo (Junior and Leng) had their little weapons and contraptions at the end; they weren’t just the consultants they became fighters too. Their fear of ghosts no longer paralyzed them as much either.
- Professor Jade was really scary. Like, why did the 2nd FL get with him even after she knew he was crazy and evil? I think it was really dumb on her part. I bet she was wishing she’d been attracted to Off.
- I kept on referring to Professor Jade as “Professor BamBam” (cuz I thought the Kpop star shared a “slight” resemblance to the actor). 555555.
- I liked the character designs a lot more in this drama. People gripe about the red dress, but I think it fit the overall vibe of Jeen’s character (Feisty but girly). I also like the Uncle’s character design (his hairstyle really added to his kookiness). Off sported a low-key goth garb. And Leng and Junior’s character designs were so retro; colorful patterned shirts, cool graphic tees, and stylish sneakers.
- I’m sad that the Uncle’s girlfriend/bestie (Orn) had to die. But I think she saw how much the Uncle loved Off, and her death was the catalyst in helping him realize that he couldn’t fight alone.
- I like how Off and Jeen fought together. They made a nice team.
- The soundtrack/OST was superb. I ended up Shazam-ing a lot of the songs featured in the show.
- The overall premise of the story reminds me of a 90s Hong Kong movie titled “Pretty Ghost”.
- I feel as though the story premise (original webtoon) was meant for a Thai adaptation. The story was executed so fearlessly and naturally. I think the story went well with Thai culture.
- Again, the romance was so cute and feel-good.
