Second decade Korean Thrill Me! I’ve not been following Korean productions too closely, but this seems very different from everything that’s come before.
They’ve swapped the costume colour scheme for Nathan and Richard!!! Nathan is now in brown and Richard in blue. Nathan has some interesting neck wear going on...? What is that? I am not a huge fan of the blue suit red tie look of Richard. Even though Asian productions’ always gone with quite a modern look it’s still a bit...jarring and dull. Nathan’s outfit though I cannot love more! The patterns and contrasting lapels of the jacket, and the collared waistcoat buttoned all the way up. The jacket being a different colour is a nice touch too.
The set also seems to have changed significantly. There is now some outdoors element which is interesting. Although from this video alone it looks like the stage is quite shallow and the actors spend a lot of time downstage. The signature big stairs bang in the middle of the stage is gone, but I still see a flight of stairs of some sort.
The lighting in Fire is... way too red.
That snippet of Thrill Me (with a second pair I think) Seems like they’re going with a quite proactive take on Nathan. XD His voice is so clear! I love it.
Nathan watches birds through binoculars. He turns, he turns... and sees Richard!
That swoop he does to block Richard off from leaving, again, is so cute.
The strain, slow pace and the huge amount of distance between them during the entire dialogue before ‘Everybody’. I had forgotten how icy you could interpret this part.
When Richard grabs his hand. TENSION
Nathan hands him a box of matches and Richard fucking takes a lighter out of his pocket I AM WHEEZING
The same blocking of Nathan goes to Richard and Richard avoids him repeats three times in less than two minutes. Hmmm
That huge TUG before the kiss
Richard actually went ‘Wha?’ When Nathan said he can’t find his glasses. I have no clue what he actually said but it just sounds like he said ‘What???’
Nathan shouts into the phone and Richard pulls it away from his ears
Lighting changed at ‘not to us babe but to you’ but was quite subtle
Synchronised newspaper opening!
The phones aren’t actually candlestick! XD
Nathan is actually quite convincing in Trying to Think. He’s doing well haha
Nathan throws the bag... offstage??? Where’d it go?!!
He kneels for Richard??? This is new level of supplication
‘Don’t be unfocused’ a fucking screech. This is so intense
...does Richard try to kiss him or head butt him?
What is it with Richard always holding Nathan’s chin. It’s a good detail but when it happens three, four times...
There are so many more videos from the press call. It feels like Christmas!
