Why Playboyy characters can't let me go
Seriously, I keep asking myself again and again why the actors and roles have such a grip on me (first of all: TALENT!) and I have come across another thesis...
All the characters have full first and last names, plus their nicknames. Even if they aren't mentioned even once in the show, they are listed and present in MDL (much to the delight of my fanfic writer heart, wohoo!)
Now you might be thinking "So what, they have names then, the fuck, chill?"
Babes. Nope. Here it comes
We already know from interviews that Phop's character is based on a real character and that View himself was extremely emotionally affected by his story. My guess is it was similar with other characters.
Not that they are all based on real people, but rather that they all have far more history than we were shown in the show.
Because as I watched the show (again and again) I noticed how damn real the characters seem in their motivations and decisions.
None of them seem plot-driven, rather the plot develops around them because of their differences and personal stories that interweave. It doesn't feel like "Character X, who has the role of best friend, mental support and otherwise just helps Y to get together with Z."
For almost all of the actors, Playboyy was their first leading role, whether Korn (Zouey), Fay (Porsche), Aun (Aob) or Jack (Soong), to name but a few.
Yet they all seemed natural and complex in their roles, like they knew every detail about their character. They act, like they're 100% confident it what the character is doing and why.
Things like Jump's disabled mother (who is only mentioned once, but with a panic that I don't think Jump made her up) make the whole thing so much more detailed than it already is.
Nuth's mental state of mind, especially the part of his past with a therapist or therapy (again, only mentioned once), is another example of how much thought has been put into the characters' backstories, what's for and what's against and why.
Each character has all these little individual traits and details, habits that are not elaborated on in the show, but that make the characters seem so much more alive. Everyone has their own story, goals and pasts.
What I'm saying, screenwriter and director of Playboyy… when there is so much plot around them all, that now is just sitting there, chilling… special ep/season 2 when?
