Q & A

Why is Thame's solo contract causing tension among the group members?

Thame's decision to sign a solo contract with a Korean company, after becoming more famous than the other members, creates feelings of betrayal and hurt among his fellow group members, as they feel abandoned by him after years of working together.

What does Mr. A’s statement about wanting to get to know Mr. B reveal about their relationship?

Mr. A’s statement, 'the person I want to get to know the most, is you,' hints at deeper feelings, leading to a misunderstanding where Mr. B might interpret it as a romantic interest. However, Mr. A denies any romantic intent, claiming it’s purely about understanding each other as coworkers.

How does Po's role as a videographer affect his relationship with Thame?

Po, as a videographer, is under pressure to deliver quality footage, but his struggle with exhaustion and lack of proper footage strains his relationship with Thame, especially since Thame is heading to Korea soon. There’s also tension between Po and his superior, who expects better performance.

What is the significance of the birthstones or lucky stones gift exchange?

The birthstones are meant as personal gifts from Thame to his members, symbolizing their connection and bond. However, due to mistakes in choosing the right stones, the idea is adjusted to lucky stones, which allows for a more flexible and meaningful exchange among the group members.

Why does Thame feel misunderstood in the conversation about the romantic context?

Thame feels misunderstood because his statement about getting to know Mr. B was taken in a romantic context, which he did not intend. This misunderstanding creates awkwardness between the two characters, though Thame tries to clarify that it was not meant romantically.

What is the role of the conversation about 'sasaeng' in the script?

The mention of 'sasaeng' refers to a misunderstanding where Thame is mistakenly thought to be involved in obsessive or intrusive behavior towards his fans. This adds a layer of tension and awkwardness to his relationships, especially when he tries to clear up the confusion.

How does Po’s attitude towards his work affect the dynamics with his colleagues?

Po’s casual and nonchalant attitude towards his work creates friction, as he is seen as unprofessional by his colleagues. His failure to deliver on his responsibilities, coupled with his excuses for being too tired, frustrates those around him, leading to dissatisfaction with his performance.

What does the scene with the gifts (gloves, socks, etc.) reveal about the group's dynamic?

The exchange of thoughtful gifts, including gloves, socks, and scarves, highlights the affection and concern the group members have for each other. It also showcases the pressure to ensure every detail is perfect, adding depth to their relationships as they try to maintain harmony and unity before the group disbands.

How do the conflicting interests and misunderstandings impact the group's final performance?

The personal conflicts and misunderstandings, such as Thame's solo contract and Po's work issues, contribute to tension and distract the group from focusing on their final performance. The emotional strain from unresolved issues affects their ability to work together seamlessly during their last concert.

What is the significance of the group's 'house' and how does it affect the character Po?

The 'group's house' refers to the shared space where the group presumably lives or works together. Po's ignorance of this detail suggests a lack of investment in understanding the group's personal dynamics, which further isolates him from the other members and adds to the growing tension in the group.
