I got up around 4am to watch the "Golden Amber Carpet" and then the actual Lineup Part (which started late of course - DMD style) til 12:15pm ish. i had to later go out for Dinner with some friends. It was a really long day.
DMD Dropped so many Pilots and information... it was complete overload.
But... what I'm looking forward to the most is (with a side of dread and 5 boxes of tissues):
30 Days of Us | เริ่มต้นใหม่ใน 30 วัน
Filmed the Pilot in Japan & the series will be too
a timeline of 10 years in a relationship involving marriage
I cried through most of the Pilot
I'm not sure if there are people that just don't like Net & JJ that work at DMD but the English subs on the live stream looked like this (No other trailer had this happen) :
Pic Spammed my Twitter like a crazy person. I mean it only allows you to post 4 at a time after all.
Pilot opens with Bear (Net) purposing to Cho (JJ)
YEAR 1 – Tuesday, 19th January 2017 at 7:11am
YEAR 2 – Sunday, 12th March 2018 at 12:40pm
YEAR 4 – Wednesday, 8th May 2020 at 9:07am
Seems okay at the start they are happy; occasionally Bear asks Cho if he has any dreams or wants that he doesn't know about.
in terms of the cat, Bear: Don't I look like a cat? Cho: you don't. Bear: I can be clingy like one.
YEAR 6 – Friday, 16th April 2022 at 10:16am
YEAR 7 – Monday, 26th December 2023 at 03:49am
Cho worries he might lose the happiness of their relationship one day since it's been so good
Bear says Cho has to stay with him; Cho says Bear will likely be the one who leaves him
YEAR 8 – Tuesday, 13th June 2024 at 01:43am
waiting with a 9th Anniversary cake alone
YEAR 10 – Tuesday, 27th January 2026 at 09:12pm
Cho goes in to tell Bear who's working he doesn't think they can continue like this.
Bear doesn't look away from his computer to say: Why not? It's been almost 10 years now.
Cho: You don't really care about me anymore. And I don't feel my heart race when I'm with you anymore, either. I feel like the affection between us is gone. When... When was the last time we did it in bed? Half a year ago? A year?
Bear: *turns to look at Cho* And what do you want?
Cho: I think... I'm going on a trip first. We'll talk when I get back.
Code for a need some space. He goes to Japan.
Bear doesn't understand what “needing space” is and follows him there.
Cho: WTF are you doing here?
Bear: Don't treat me as yours if you're going to talk to me like that. Let's make a pact. If we don't make it past 30 days, we'll split our belongings and part ways.
Then they do a weird middle finger promise thing. o.O
Cho likes stopping to take pictures
YEAR 9 – Monday, 25th August 2025 at 05:51pm
Bear on the Phone with “Khongkwan”
Current in Japan on the phone with this Khongkwan all smiles and shit. Which makes Cho sad.
Again on the phone with Khongkwan when they are having dinner at a restaurant
Cho starts drinking too much too fast and gets drunk; Bear gives him a piggyback home. Cho's voice over talks about how “back then” when he'd get drunk Bear would kiss him on the forehead. Bear didn't kiss him. Bear: because back then you used to be sweet.
Again on the phone with Khongkwan. Again all smiles; thanking and complementing them. Cho keeps walking leaving Bear behind, who of course doesn't notice until he's done talking to Khongkwan.
Bear: (angrily) It's not even our 10th anniversary yet. Can't we stay a bit longer? You can go, but I can't.
Cho: I didn't say I want to go with you. I'm going alone.
Bear: WTH does that mean? Are you going on a trip, taking pictures all alone?
Cho: I'm not asking for permission. I'm just informing you.
Bear: Can you stop acting like you're on your own? Hey! Are you listening? Cho!
Cho's packing a suitcase.
Bear: Is this about work? Is it? It's about work, isn't it?! Do you know I'm tired, Cho?
Bear: I did this because of you.
Cho: If it's that tiring, why don't we get a fucking divorce now?!
Bear: Why didn't you tell me where you went?
Cho: I didn't expect my phone to die on me.
Bear: Damn it... Why are you always like this? What would you do if we both actually got separated? Who would come save you? Think, will you?
Cho: I just want you to see how important I am to you.
Bear: And haven't all these years been enough? If you're going to be so fussy about work, then I've got nothing to say.
Bear: See? How would you survive without me?
Cho: Why aren't you leaving?
Bear: Huh? We promised, didn't we? For our 10th Anniversary, I'll take you to Nippon.
Cho: But we've already broken up.
Bear: In these 30 days, may we start over?
11:18 - “JJ” Radchapon Phornpinit as Cho
11:24 - “NET” Siraphop Manithikhun as Bear
[One takes 30days to break up]
Bear: I really miss you, Cho.
Cho: You didn't when I was with you.
[The other takes 30 days to start over]
Cho: But... I'm not going to wait for you anymore. I'll live my own life.
Cho: I will... go on a trip alone.
Cho: I'll be better than you. I'll go out to work and have a lot of friends.
[Starting over in 30 days]
I feel like they got married and Bear just kept Cho in the house like a pet or belonging. Saying everything he did was for him even if it just made Cho feel like he was worthless/invisible. Bear only misses Cho when he's not there. So when Cho left of Japan Bear followed him to remind him that he's useless alone. Bear took Cho for granted as someone who would ALWAYS be there. And then he talks to Cho like he's been this great burden to him.
I also want to know who this “Khongkwan” is. Obviously they work together but fuck...
I need an English Translation of the novel.
Props to the Pilot music arranger as well, it even got me like damn.
So ends my big jumbo mess of thoughts. I cry EVERY time I watch the Pilot.
Did I mention I have cake trauma with these two?
