So I recently watched Blacklist which a lot of people were comparing to The Gifted but.... THEY ARE SO DIFFERENT!
The basic idea is probably similar - there's something sinister in the school and a group of student are trying to get to the bottom of it. But the entire story and execution is completely different! I enjoyed both series (Blacklist probably because it had Ohm, Drake and Frank in it), and this one because it was executed so well.
Pang - I've seen Nanon in a few dramas now (My Dear Loser & Blacklist), and he's alright. Pang probably wasn't my favorite character, but he was a good guy, and he was trying to fight against an oppressive system even though he was at the top of the food chain - which is isn't entirely true because he was both at the top and the bottom. He was in the gifted class, while still being in the bottom most class.
Wave - Chimon is always a treat to watch, I feel. I think he's grown a lot as an actor since My Dear Loser. But I adore watching him. He's a talented kid. I like him in badboy roles. Even though this one was badboy with a twist. You could tell from the beginning that his bad attitude came from a place of hurt and I was looking forward to Pang and Wave's friendship which I knew was inevitable. I can't wait for Season 2 for more of their shenanigans.
Namtarn - I love Namtarn. She is so badass. I love how dedicated she is and how she is so selfless with her friendship and love. I think Lilly did a fantastic job. I was totally shipping Pang/Namtarn/Wave in any iteration.
Ohm - Sing is another actor who I've seen in a few dramas now, but always as a supporting character. It's good to see him in a meatier role. He's cute as Ohm - a very lovable annoying, nosy best-friend (What is it with Thai Dramas and Annoying Nosy Best Friends?)
Claire - I love how Claire goes for resident bitch to sweetheart in one episode. I totally thought she would be a Diva throughout the show, but I'm glad she wasn't. I'm glad they showed her to be more than just a pretty face. I love how much she cared about Punn and Korn. I love how she could switch to Diva mode too though (Ep. 13). Also, if Pluem would have been in this show it would have been a My Dear Loser Reunion!! :'(
Punn - It's so interesting to see Gunn play a straight character for a change. I know he's done a few B/G dramas where he has played a straight character, but I haven't seen those yet. I'm not a Gunn fan, but this show might just change my mind - he played 4 freaking personalities - KUDOS man. That is some talent. Well done.
Korn - I think Korn might low-key be my favorite character. I wish they had developed his story a little more and given him more screen time. I have only seen him in Sotus S before where he also played the lonely nerd type character, but I think he has a lot of potential. I think my favorite part of his character was his friendship with Claire and how he loved her because he loved her and never expected anything from her in return. I love that kind of portrayal of love and friendship and it is so rare to find - usually the character gets jealous and possessive over the person they are interested in and starts sabotaging their relationship and etc. I wish the rest of the Gifted gang would have helped Korn feel less isolated though.
Mon - Such an interesting character. I've seen Puimek in a couple of shows (MDL, Sotus S, FriendZone) before and I've always enjoyed her performance - she is very talented. I also enjoyed her storyline a lot.
Jo & Jack - They didn't get a lot of screen time or get their story told in this series (tbh I'm not a big fan of the actors collectively I've seen 3/3 of JJ's listed finished work, and 6/8 of AJ's). I know we didn't have time for it but it would have been nice to see it.
Nac - Ah. So much to say, but I don't know where to start. I think we all can find Nac in one of our friends, and Nac in ourselves as well. He is such a human character, and it was so sad to see. Ep 13 made me happy to some extent, but its sad to me that the only way Nac and Pang could be friends is if Pang is somehow inferior to Nac, if it is reversed it doesn't work anymore. I wish we knew more about Nac's damage - why does he need to feel superior to Pang? He seemed like such a good friend. It really really broke my heart.
Mr. Pom - Another heart breaking story. I'm glad we got to know more about Mr. Pom. But I wish they had given more screen time to his story. It was so rushed. Pom/Non needed more time!!! *crying fujoshi tears*
Principal - Oh man. Come on. Seriously? Episode 1. That's all I'm gonna say.
Ms. Ladda - What an amazing character. I loved her. From start to finish. Katreeya is so amazing. She really makes you feel her glare. AMAZING!
Non - *cries furious Fujoshi tears* I needed more Non in my life. I needed more Pom/Non in my life. Mek is so cute with glasses and a Nerdy look - he needs to play a nerd more often. Also kudos to the styling team (because if anyone has seen KMA and DBK, his hair was such a mess in those shows).
