Never Let Me Go Ep 1 Stray Thoughts
I can't believe we have new shows from Jojo two days in a row. Who ever thought we'd be here?? (I did, in 2012) Very excited about this one, but desperately hoping that Pond comes through for us this time.
I do like a slow-moving shot to open a show. I am prepared to feel moody.
Don't know if Neung is queer yet, but if he already is then I will have thoughts about gay boys and their moms.
Glad the father isn't actually negligent. Neung wasn't giving off a long-suffering air. It's nice to know that he feels like a beloved son.
This feels like a lot of weight to put on a young person, but Neung is coming of age and so I respect the dad trying to prepare his son for coming duties.
This rainy alleyway scene is giving Batman.
As others have pointed out already, this pendant is so huge. We get the metaphor, but goddamn.
Phuwin gives a strong performance here. I'm glad the sound editors toned down the sonic presence of his scream, though. I felt it was too loud in the trailer.
Every time I see Perth I'm like, "Welcome back, baby boy."
I've been complaining about the use of Dutch angles in GAP, but I think they're appropriate here. Neung's world is tilted by the loss of his dad, who clearly loved him (he literally named his son "Only One").
Love the use of this red outfit to announce that Tanya will take over as CEO.
I'm so glad Nat is in this show and linked with Perth. They're going to be fun to watch.
Glad this show is using Phuwin's multilingual talent.
Pond looks good in this so far. The school uniforms did not serve his frame well.
I like how workmanlike Jojo can be about exposition. Sometimes it's more efficient to have a character detail their limitations and worldview quickly so the audience knows their starting line. We can figure out the reasons as we go along.
Love that conversation with the bodyguard/chamberlain outside school. The shifts in your relationships as you come of age is always hard.
We never had anyone this famously wealthy at any school I went to.
Chimon remains excellent at building onscreen chemistry with literally anyone so well.
I will be very disappointed when we learn that Chanon was somehow involved in Pipop's death. Both Neungdia and Tanya assert that they feel like he's family. For Chanon, though, it probably isn't his reality. This is going to get messy and I'm here for it.
Almost gagged when I saw Apo and Mile in a product ad at the start of part 2.
Not to be too distracted by the gun, but what is in this notebook that Neung keeps in the same drawer as the gun?
Also noticed the retro style speaker, and the painting of a piano full of butterflies.
At least Neung has some trigger safety.
I'm so proud of the hair and makeup team so far. They have not missed once. Phuwin looks amazing sitting in the pool.
Fantastic choice to show Palm's commute. After seeing the wealth of Neung's life, the signs of poverty and frustrated hit hard.
Ball is life (and apparently a gambling opportunity to cause problems later).
I will never, ever tire of boys pulling each other into hiding spaces and getting too close to each other's faces. Mutuals, feel free to do this to me.
Nat is so good. I am so invested in this beef between Tanya and Kit, and am so curious about the family history that led to the exclusion of Pipong's brother.
The Gifted has forever ruined the arm grab for me in these dramas. It only ever reads as hugely manipulative.
What does Neung know about these family troubles? He didn't seem surprised about the tension when he walked in, and looked to Tanya for guidance on whether to hug Kit back.
Is Palm choosing to not wear a tie, or does he not have one? I'm not surprised he wears the uniform loosely after working as a fisherman.
I don't blame Neung for bailing on a father's day event.
Chanon definitely assigned Palm as a bodyguard. I think Tanya is aware of it.
Who is this taxi driver and why is he willingly contributing to truancy?
So we finally know what building these windows have been in. I have seen them in The Gifted and War of Y.
Neung isn't dumb, and I'm glad he's aware of what's going on.
Every time they say they trust Chanon, he gets uncomfortable. Is that guilt?
Oh ho, we're going to start seeing more of Perth next week.
I had a great time with this first episode, and like that both of Jojo's shows feel so distinct from each other right now. I completely forgot that Phuwin is playing Ice in The Warp Effect. Hoping to see Pond blossom as this character comes out of his reserve.
