I've changed my mind. You can take me wherever you want. Ah? Then where do you want to go? As I said, anywhere is fine. In that case, I guess I can turn right and stop at a restaurant.

Ep 1 of My Stand-In verdict: I'm into it.

Joe is a character I want to root for - Poom plays his vulnerability and guilt in the present so well. I'm so glad he's got a mom to care for him considering the circumstance. Also how is this man so attractive? I just look at him and my brain seizes.

Anyhoo, I like that we are supposed to be very leery of Ming. Up is a good choice for this, he seems to do well with some sort of internal self-torture happening.

I found myself with all these questions (in the best most compelling way) and really into finding out more about their story and the backstory with Tong (hey Mek!). They are also revealing it in a way that is really interesting and much less confusing than that trailer. The reasons for why Joe would be back into a life so similar to his previous one are acceptable and less huh so that's good too.

Also, Poom and Up's chemistry is on fire. I'm very into this.

[respectthepetty]

Because every time Up has a new series, I must remind people that he can have chemistry with anyone, always, and forever, even the ones he shouldn't be having chemistry with.

I thought you had already forgotten about me. What about you? Have you forgotten me? What do you think? Looking at your face, it seems like you can't get me out of your head, can you?

It's delicious. I think it's because you're just really hungry.

my stand in episode 1 thoughts, feelings, etc.

OHOHOOO FINALLY. FINALLY I FEEL INSANE ABOUT A SHOW AGAIN. poom phuripan my absolute beloved, i've missed you so fucking much.

the show really eases you into everything and so far i don't mind the back and forth, i think it's interesting to see the direct consequences and THEN the story of how we got here. i don't know if my opinion on that will change later but for right now it's really pleasing me. i also really like this gradual introduction we're getting into everything and the sort of thriller/mystery vibe to it all. it's giving me some very loose/vague manner of death vibes.

i immediately don't like the vibes of tong or wut but i'm reserving any real accusations until later, but i'm def side eyeing them. i've got my eye on you two.

it really took my brain some getting used to to understanding the joe we're seeing is joe's consciousness and everyone else is seeing the joe that was shown in his reflection in the hospital (i've never seen vice versa or many other shows that do this, forgive me) but once i wrapped my head around it i actually quite like it. mostly bc it means i still get to see a lot of poom.

anyway - thus far this has one of my favorite romance tropes; guy who is used to being treated badly/ignored and man who has too much love to give (to someone who may or may not deserve it, judgement withstanding on that rn.) joe is just such a heart eyed fool and i'm so glad to see poom in another role of lovesick, unfairly attractive, dork. it's a role he plays so well and he immediately endears you to joe so fucking much.

throughout most of the episode i was like ooh this is a bummer but the angst isn't too bad. and then. AND THEN.

ming coming over to joe's house and making a move on him, again, from the perspective of behind joe - where he looks so much like tong. the lamenting about him being a virgin and joe offering himself up to him. and then ming turning him back around to face the mirror. this way he looks so much like tong, he can pretend it's tong, and yet at the same time joe's face is right there, reflected back in the mirror, inescapable. i'm fucking eating this up, finally some good fucking food.

idk i'm probably not touching on everything i want to, it's been a long ass time since i've done one of these, but this is just what immediately comes to mind. now time to go make a gifset lmao.

(if you give me novel spoilers i WILL hunt you for sport)
