The Trainee (2024)

No es un BL al uso, y eso la daña

GMMTV debe ser muy cuidadosa con la forma en que promociona sus producciones, especialmente cuando se trata de propuestas corales que podrían ser mucho mejor recibidas si se presentaran como tales... si es lo que se espera, claro.

Yo esperaba más de OffGun, y al final tuve muy poco. Además, el personaje de Jumpol me cayó fatal. ¿Cómo es posible que, después de tardar 11 episodios en pedirle salir a Atthaphan, te marches y pases tanto tiempo sin hablarle porque "si te hubiera hablado, habría querido volver antes", pero "todo sigue igual"? ¿Cómo puedes ser tan egoísta, Jane?

Por otro lado, ¿de verdad les parece buena idea venderle representación a las sáficas solo para que todo termine en drama? Chicas, el drama es algo que las sáficas ya tienen de sobra en los GL. Que den gracias de que no hacen como las fans de OhmNanon, que mandaron furgonetas con carteles dando vueltas por Bangkok...

Qué desperdicio, porque la serie empezó siendo fresca, con una propuesta que te hacía reír y hacía que la hora se pasara volando.

La salva el hecho de que, aun siendo un desastre, OffGun siempre ofrece una actuación de calidad.

No fue lo que esperaba

The trainee es la historia de un pasante en el mundo de la producción audiovisual sin ningún condimento de esta industria, sigue la historia de este pasante y sus compañeros donde no muestran como se va relacionando con este mundo y como surge el amor entre el y su superior.

La premisa de la serie es básica, y desde un inicio sabia que la historia no seria la del próximo Oscar, pero igual me decepciono un poco, esperaba con ansias otra historia del OffGun y la verdad ellos fueron por lo que lo termine, porque en verdad la historia fue muy floja, no sentí una buena evolución en los personajes, y la supuesta pareja secundaria, no dio la talla, y hasta la sentí forzada. La historia es simple y pasa sin pena ni gloria, en algunos momentos te divierte y en otros simplemente te aburre y solo deseas que se acaba, esperaba mas... Vi esta historia en emisión y hasta ahora quise hacer la reseña, puedo decir que si, recuerdo perfectamente la historia, aunque no es una que recordare añorando las escenas ni nada por el estilo, simplemente recuerdo como es la historia y personajes, y puede que un futuro la olvide, aunque debo admitir que recordaba ya es un aspecto positivo para ella, he visto historia que me acuerdo del nombre por ver la portada o por la premisa básica, porque aveces ni los actores recuerdo... así que es un punto positivo, de alguna manera...

Sobre la musicalización pues la verdad sin pena ni gloria, no recuerdo mucho de esta, se que una vez me queje por la musicalizaron de una escena, pero tampoco fue la peor, no pasara a OST inolvidables, puesto que ya lo olvide, pero ahí esta, tampoco es tan mala, pero definitivamente no es la mejor.

sobre las actuaciones, me duele que no me gustara, la de muchos ni me la creí, pero valor con eso, siento que tenían talento pero lo dejaron sin explotar, a muchos de estos actores los he visto en otras serie y si saben actuar, pero en esta no se que les paso a algunos...

Como aspecto positivos de la serie, debo admitir que me gustaban los cierres de capitulo, donde todos hablaban de términos y cosas que giraban en el mundo de la producción audiovisual, que para las personas que no saben nada y vean la serie les ayuda a entender mas las escenas, admiro que intentaran tratar temas como la discriminación por tu simple aspecto, pero lo pudieron hacer mejor, com dije tuvo sus puntos positivos, unos mejores desarrollados que otros, y que espero y si vuelven a tratarlos lo hagan mucho mejor.

Sin mas, espero mas series del OffGun porque soy muy fan de la pareja y espero ver a los demás actores en futuros proyectos.

Journey of Trainees

If people are coming here for BL, then I would like to inform you that it's main plot is not romance. This drama is more about life of Trainees, what kind of problem they face and how they deal with problems and people. Ofcourse, we have some romance, but it is more like a side plot.
I personally liked the earlier episodes. Each trainee character has his/her own story.But after Bahmee's controversy, the series really became slow. There wasn't much to see in the story of Ryan and Jane, but I really liked their mentor and mentee relationship. They just dragged their story to the last episode.I forced myself to watch last two episodes.
Overall, it was one time watch light-hearted series.If you are not here for offgun then you can go for it. And if you are here for offgun then you can go for it on your own responsibility.

The series itself!

I love OFFGUN so much like they f*cking NAILED IT! You know what I mean?!? And the casts?!? It's PERFECT AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I was an intern in a production house too. I applied as a AE intern just like Bah-mee. It's really amazing how I can relate to the story. Especially when I realized that I wasn't really fit for the AE role, at the end of the day I got more comfortable working under assistant director like Jane and BELIEVED ME, it wasn't that easy just like what happened to Jane in episode 2. I really enjoyed it so much that I want to burst out screaming! THE CASTS IS PERFECT, RYAN IS SO CUTE THAT I WANT TO HIDE HIM TO MY POCKET, JANE IS TOO HANDSOME THAT I CAN SURELY FAINT ANYTIME, TAE IS ALSO CUTE HUHU, BAH-MEE HAS A GREAT SENSE OF FASHION, PAH IS BUBBLY AND SWEET AT THE SAME TIME (I suddenly remembered his character as Pun in We are the series), PIE IS TOO PRETTY AND SHE REALLY MATCHES JANE'S SERIOUSNESS AND LASTLY JUDY, THE QUEEN THAT YOU ARE! YOU SLAYED! OF COURSE I WONT FORGET P'BAIMON FOR BEING THE REASON WHY RYAN GOT ACCEPTED AND P'JO WHO HELPED RYAN TO CALL THE PRINTER REPAIR MAN HUHUHHUHUHU 😭 THIS IS THE BEST SERIES OF THE YEAR HAHAJWKEJSJWHWJHWHE I'LL LOOK FORWARD FOR THE NEXT EPISODE! THEY ALL SLAYED RAWR

A good ensemble show

HR violations left and right yet so enjoyable
i really REALLY enjoyed this show from the beginning till episode 9 or something
a really well developed show with almost all of its characters having a proper character arc and growth
many people were disappointed with the show not being focused on the pair but i liked the way this show was. its more of an ensemble cast show rather than a bl
the team has taken a lot of care to show this story. the sets felt real, the characters had depth and continuity
one of the flaws in the writing was the whole judy-bamhee plot, it felt like someone who hated judy got into the writers room. the tae-bamhee ending was also a bit meh, they would have been better off as friends.
they should have also tried to add the jane & ryan stories consistently in all the episodes cause during the whole judy-bamhee-tae episodes there was barely anything about them and in the last few episodes we had a lot of new things pushed in
otherwise this was a good show with many well executed themes of finding yourself, working, being an adult, making mistakes in the workplace, finding your worth, women in the workplace, self-esteem, communication etc etc
i wish gmmtv makes more series like this with this effort instead of cheap remakes

I loved this show. Easily a 9/10.

Everything about this show felt fresh and creative. From the sets to the characters, to the editing. Fitting for a show set in the world of production.

Like other's have said, this wasn't a BL-- and if I was to rate it solely on that it would be lacking-- but I don't rate shows that way. A good show, should be a good show all around, no matter what genre it is. Do I wish there was more JaneRyan? OF COURSE.

These two characters are some of OffGun's best. Gun, like always, became Ryan. His micro expressions are always so captivating to me. He's so interesting to watch. Jane is my favorite character that I've seen Off do. He is just such an attractive character, and so nice to look at. I would have watched a show solely based on those two, and would have been beyond happy.

But-- despite JaneRyan being the heart of this show-- this show was in reality the story of 5 trainee's (and their mentor Jane) and their journey from inexperienced bumbling kids, to adults who found their path in life.

Although there are parts of this show that felt annoying to watch (Yes, I'm talking about the trio), the story lines usually felt relatable and the conclusions satisfying or at the very least understandable. All the actors in this show did a great job because they had me reacting appropriately 24.7. I felt annoyed, angry, happy, empathetic, and all the emotions possible.

This is going to sound weird but-- It was a pleasure watching these kids grow up.

Le paure, le ansie e l'inesperienza dei tirocinanti sono trattate (per fortuna) in modo abbastanza realistico e sarà proprio colpa dell'età dei personaggi se alcuni comportamenti sono a tratti dubbi.
Di seguito il mio parere sui personaggi, potrebbe cambiare nel corso della serie:
- Bamhee: non mi ha mai detto granché come personaggio e, per quanto stia crescendo con l'avanzare degli episodi, continuo a non riuscire a farmela andare giù. Il fatto che abbia deciso di far ruotare la sua intera esistenza intorno a Tae, non l'autorizza a dare il 100% delle colpe a lui per l'evolversi della loro relazione.
- Jane: non sono ancora certa al 100% su di lui. Sicuramente apprezzo di lui il fatto che riesca a tenere (più o meno) separti vita sentimentale/privata e vita lavorativa. Può star sulle scatole quando "tratta male" Ryan, ma in realtà penso sia dettato dalla professionalità del ruolo (e chissà, magari a qualche trauma del passato).
- Judy: mi piaceva molto nei primi episodi, ma mi è un po' caduta negli episodi 7-8. È stato sempre molto evidente che a Baimhee mancassero le attenzioni e ha sfruttato l'assenza di Tae per avvicinarsi a lei, nulla da dire (più o meno) a riguardo, ma il fingere di non avere responsabilità e che sia tutto ok... non è un comportamento da persona quasi 30enne ed il suo essere saffica, purtroppo, non mi porterà a difenderla.
- Pah: mi sta piacendo molto. L'evoluzione del personaggio, l'attenzione ai dettagli e l'affetto che nutre nei confronti di tutti indistintamente penso siano ciò che più di tutto lo abbiano portato a difendere Tae senza pensarci due volte. Ovviamente condizionato dall'aver assistito al bacio tra Judy e Bamhee con Tae, ma anche dal come lei riesca ad ignorare del tutto i problemi e concentrarsi sulla sua nuova cotta mentre lui si colpevolizza di tutto e difende Bamhee anche quando non dovrebbe. Penso che entrambi abbiano le loro colpe nella relazione, altrimenti non sarebbe una relazione, ma di sicuro non si può far ricadere il motivo della rottura sul carattere di Tae che è SEMPRE stato così, fin da quando i due si son conosciuti.
- Pie: lei patatina. Adoro View, quindi potrei essere condizionata. Sto apprezzando la sua continua evoluzione, il fatto che si stia aprendo agli altri e che sia sempre schietta nelle cose che dice.
- Ryan: anche alcuni dei suoi comportamenti sono un po' dubbi, ma mi ricorda molto Third in "theory of love".
- Tae: Sea biased, difenderò Tae fino alla morte senza pensarci due volte.
- Baimon e Jo: i miei phi preferiti. Non sempre di molte parole, ma attentissimi osservatori.

OffGun show promised but Drama (Non BL) show delivered

Okay here is the thing. This is my first Review for a new Series . I really liked the series since I have watched many old Series of OffGun. These two can slay any role they given. but was it a BL? the answer is between no and maybe. This is not a typical Thai BL which I am glad. The address various topics of entertainment industry, youth confusions regarding careers and sexuality, Second chances in life. All actors were really great

What I not liked-
1. A silly person who doesn't know how to turn off the phone?
2. Too many added subplots which could have been cut
3. very little OffGun moments

Relatable, but room for improvement.

'The Trainee' takes place in an office setting with an ensemble cast featuring BL elements, meaning that it's not quite BL, and the BL romance is turned down, which was fine by me. Every character is seen and heard - some a little too much - although the series is supposed to focus on its main protagonist, Ryan.

There are two mentors, Jane and Judy - this brings back memories of 'The Jetsons'. If you know, you know - and throughout the series, their actions parallel their behavior when it comes to their trainee. Judy is like the walking manual for 'How Not to Pursue a Workplace Relationship' whilst Jane is the opposite... until the last episode!

The acting from everyone was top-notch, the OST is chef's kiss, and the setting is cinematically beautiful. What failed in the end was the writing. I believe the writing could've been stronger in many areas. Overall, I like the series, and despite its many flaws that I wish I could fix, it's the best series I've seen this year from GMMTV production-wise. I've watched every episode more than three times and it could've easily been a solid 10, but I had to take away two points for the lackluster writing at times and the useless triangle that went nowhere.

Watch if:

^ You like/love the cast
^ You like/love OffGun
^ You like an office setting
^ You're interested in what Off's hot boss era looks like
^ You don't care for the BL or the commercialized GL
^ You're a trainee or a mentor
^ You're into filmmaking
^ You just want to try something new.
