Terlalu bagus woy!

Episode ini menurutku bagus banget ya, ya walaupun aku tidak terlalu mengerti apakah ini masih di bagian orientasi atau bukan, sepertinya sudah masuk ke dalam inti cerita. Mungkin bijak memberikan orientasi cerita hanya ada di episode pertama dan sebagian episode dua, series ini mengalir begitu saja dan saya sangat menikmatinya. Episode kali ini fokus pada kedekatan Jom dan Kun-Yai dengan segala konflik yang membawa mereka. Sepertinya episode selanjutnya baru sangat berfokus pada cerita keduanya, terlebih review sangat mengisyaratkan hal itu. Dari segi warna menurutku sangat bagus ya, namun kesan kehijauannya mulai luntur, sekarang lebih terasa menjadi warna pastel kecoklatan. Dari segi alur dan dialog, mudah difahami ya ; sangat menyenangkan menonton ini, ini seperti upgrade series "To Sir with Love" dengan penambahan konsep yang lebih luas. Saya sangat menyukai Nonkul yang berperan sebagai Jom ; dia sangat mahir memerankan perannya terutama mimik wajahnya sangat realistis seperti benar-benar terlempar ke masa lalu dengan banyak hal yang disembunyikan. Entah kenapa series ini terasa sangat lama, mungkin karena detail ceritanya yang bagus, timing scene yang pas ; membuat series ini sangat berkesan. Saya akan melanjutkan series ini.

The perfect ending to Jom's first arc in his journey

Dee Hup House really went all out for this show because I am LOVING the changes they made to the novel. Not rushing, still eventful but those who read the novels can confirm that the series moves super fast in comparison (in a good way) because the novel took 50% of the first book until Khun Yai finally asked Jom to move into his house to be his majordomo. The series has been able to incorporate a lot of Khun Yai/Jom scenes in order to give the people what they want, but also not a single scenes with supporting characters were irrelevant to our protagonist's storyline.The addition of Khamsaen crying scene though >>>>>> Like I love how Dee Hup House dealt with this storyline because Fongkaew, Khamsaen affair took up a huge part of Book 1 which is why as a reader, it felt very slow to me when I was reading the book, feeling frustrated about when Khun Yai can finally have more moments with Jom. But the treatment the script team has done to the changes has been able to keep the gist of the storyline the same but at the same time give us more Khun Yai/Jom moments together (like Yai jumping in to save Jom from Mr. Robert scolding, their good night scene at the pier, them shopping for clothes, these stuff weren't in the novel at all and so it does felt like there wasn't a proper buildup between Yai/Jom when you read the novel) while exploring other aspects to the characters (Ming's witty thinking of calling Yai to save Jom, Ming/Jom bonding, the GL storyline between Maey and Eungpung is gonna be saur juicy I just know it).Pacing was my biggest fear going into IFYLITA adaptation because of the original novel but after Episode 3, I'm much more confident that future episodes are gonna be insanely good (especially now that Jom is officially living with Khun Yai). But now I'm very curious as to what new addition they're gonna do with the rest of the series because we have not much Jom/Khun Yai moments left in Book 1 (their flirting era is already here ?) but Dee Hup House isn't adapting Book 2, only adding easter eggs scenes from Book 2 with Commander Yai due to budget issues ?. I'm super excited though like please give me things Book 1 did NOT give me (re: more 1928 Khun Yai/Jom moments after getting together) ?Nonkul's crying is always so pretty and I completely get the director's decision to make my man cry all the time over being homesick and heartbroken (and I'm so glad they're not glossing over it). Bright is just a phenomenonal Khun Yai. From his tones, his micro facial expressions, his subtle touches with Jom, his little smiles, the way he puts his hand behind his back when he walks around ?I already knew Bright and Nonkul did their homework prior to the filming because you can tell from the interviews that they did NOT skim the pages reading this novel but they absolutely read every damn page like real fanboys. But still to see Khun Yai come alive so vividly is so insaneeeee, especially at this part of the story (Ep 3/First 50% of the book) when Khun Yai doesn't have a big presence, not have much actions yet. Kudos to the production team for another stellar episode and I really can't wait for next's week episode ??
