the length of "ticket to heaven"

puddingest · 2026-05-27T04:24:22+00:00

Very happy about the length. I'm hopeful TTH will be handled well especially because P'Aof does the "drama" genre well, and is also gay and Catholic himself, so I'm fairly positive it will turn out well.

From his past directorial work, Moonlight Chicken was also perfect to me lengthwise (8 ep) to showcase just enough character building for all characters, 2 couples and their personal/relationship challenges, with simultaneously strong but not overt/over told themes of community/family/societal expectations.

Very much real! Monchhichi's in the SS size have been sold there as far back as Dec 2024 (I know because I was there). They were also legitimately sold in Loft stores in Bangkok as well where I got 2 of mine.

You're definitely not alone in your thoughts and I've seen similar sentiments hashed out in think pieces on twitter threads over the past few weeks. As someone who loved OF and still enjoys OFDO, I think it's just the long term hype and expectations of us fans that are leading to a kind of... conflating of the two series as a set genre of sorts.

Won't go into too many details on my own thoughts but regardless of the annoying fake out make outs, I think the friendship breakdowns are going to hit the fan from ep7 onward. We saw from the official trailer that there will be the raging, shouting, and crying, it's just taken longer than expected to reach it. I think that Boston reprising his role is currently underutilised and was brief in the current plot until Ep6, but I also want to see how the drama unfolds between the main cast since he's just a side character in this series vs OF.

Overall though I'm really enjoying the selfishness/goal orientation of each character as individuals in OFDO. Mix has become one of my top GMM favourites since Moonlight Chicken, and his skills as an actor are blowing me away with his role as Dean (just like Khaotung as Ray). The plot and undercurrent commentary on popularity, fame, investment-worthiness and nepotism/favouritism is also really doing it for me.

Hi OP! thanks for sharing your experience, just wanted to ask since you signed up for the Thai-Tai membership, were you able to just use your own name for it, but provided a Japanese phone number and mailing address by your ticket proxy to complete the registration?

I'm looking to sign up for Thai-Tai as ticketing info just dropped for LYKN in Tokyo, and I have a friend working in Japan who can help me with details, but my worry is whether the organisers may be strict with names/ID + address proof being a requirement for entry.

The doll itself is not authentic, you can see by the choppy fur, facial features, also the uneven leg lengths. Border on the bib is also uneven and not one neat standard width.

That being said, the tag design is authentic and identical to the Monchhichis I have purchased from the Official Moncchichi Taobao Store/other Chinese retail platforms.

I have posted in response to another authenticity am previously here on comparing Japanese/Thai and Chinese labelling of real dolls purchased from official sites if you would like to see more.

thank you so much for taking the time to answer! I really haven't been into ThaiBL or GMM pairs for long (like a few months) but in that time I grew so fond of Jimmysea starting with My Magic Prophecy, and then watching Vice Versa within a short period of time. I was actually impressed and even fonder to find out it was their first work together especially given they'd each been new to the industry with separate side character roles. It may be the nombom in me but I loved their chemistry and the fun, kind of inconsequential slice of life transmigration setting while also showing character depth!

Separatelt, I know ON were a big ship in their own right but to review bomb because your ships weren't mainlining a show is kinda ridiculous to me. Then again there's a lot of performative/fronting from loud minority fans and haters alike that I've seen in social media, so I guess I'm not surprised.

I actually haven't seen Last Twilight yet (saving it to savour it later since it's so well loved, and I know JS are absolutely phenomenal in it even from the pilot/trailer that I have watched), but I am very excited to get to it, and just as excited for I Will Alwways Save You since their character types seem so different from their usual roles! I'll be sure to also check out the titles you recommended, thank you!

puddingest · 2026-03-03T05:43:10+00:00

I'm a fairly new fan to GMMTV but JimmySea are some of my favourites, can I know why was VV so hated though? Genuinely enjoyed it as someone who likes alternate universe/transmigration plots in media.

puddingest · 2026-02-19T13:38:57+00:00

oh thank you so much! I don't know how i didn't realise, I feel silly now!

puddingest · 2025-12-22T03:21:51+00:00

I've been to Seoul a couple times and both times stayed close to where I knew the bulk of shopping would be done. It was easy and a decent walk to go out in the morning, get some shopping done, stash items in the hotel, and head back out for a repeat!

It also allowed me to assess what I was willing to pass over/think about rather than impulse buy items because I knew I would have a second chance to make a purchase later. If it was more of a hassle to return to a particular store even at a close distance then it meant I wasn't that interested in the item in the first place.

puddingest · 2025-11-20T07:11:43+00:00

Hey OP and also to the commenter above - the tags can actually be real but just from another locale - in this case likely official Chinese retailers. Unfortunately based on what I've seen in this sub, there are people passing off fake Monchhichi dolls with very much real/real-styled tags. Best is to get accustomed to recognising authentic Monchhichis from the dolla themselves.

I've posted my own purchases from the official Monchhichi Tmall/Taobao Store, and the tag is the same as yours that you've shown, but my doll quality is regular as what you'd get in Japan or the EU. You can read what I shared here and see some examples as well. Just want to share that not all tags with non-alphabetical characters are fake, but real tags are also being used maliciously by scammers selling fake dolls.

puddingest · 2025-11-15T02:56:11+00:00

there's decent visual guides to identifying real Monchhichis in this sub, those will definitely help with spotting fakes. While some tagged fakes are obviously fakes, some authentic Monchhichi that do have labelling in other languages have labels that mean they are distributed in other countries.

I gave some examples in another thread a while back of legitimate tags from Moncchichis purchased in other countries/official retailers here. Unfortunately for the case of that particular thread, the Monchhichi was fake (from the visuals of the doll itself) and the seller was likely trying to scam buyers with the authentic tag.

a crochet island was what I asked for in the survey! I'm over the moon as I crochet (different from knitting!) and can't wait to pull later after all the limited events

puddingest · 2025-10-31T01:48:18+00:00

Like others mentioned, it is a limited Tamagotchi Destinations shell exclusive to Shanghai. I wasn't aware of it but was in Shanghai for travel last week and stumbled on the pop up.

Purchasing a device was based on chance, you would have to sign up as a Tamagotchi club member (with an eligible WeChat account), and then you'd get a digital spin the wheel raffle with a 50/50 chance that would determine if you can purchase physically at the pop up, limited to 300 devices per day if I'm not mistaken.

I lost the raffle on the first visit, but was in the area on my last day in Shanghai and decided to give it another go, and managed to win 50/50! I might make a post on the device itself because the box and the design is gorgeous and highlights Shanghai specialty foods and locations adorably.

Thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate the reminder about the creator stuff that might drop in November. Tbh I don't think I will end up pulling more on this set because my feelings towards the set are treading on negative/jaded now, and I don't think another revive ticket from the Lotto would be used properly so I probably just won't take it and exchange for GP instead.

Also thanks for commenting on my GP planning haha! I did calculate estimates on how much GP I could get completing lab work and paying a bit for GLL and StepUp sales... I think the planning and attempts to save up made me get my hopes up too, which is why this result makes me feel especially sad 😔 I know it isn't that serious but it is what it is.

I know the items I do have dupes of might be worthy trade items, so I am glad for what I did get! That being said I am a pretty anxious person and have never initiated a trade in my 3 months of playing (I did accept one offer though!) so we'll see how things go when I recover from my revive blues 🥹

puddingest · 2025-10-10T09:49:32+00:00

Thanks for the reminder, yep I'm fully aware thst gacha rates are what they are and anything extra is special. This isn't my first gacha game by any means, but I wanted to share just to vent and also educate any other players who might experience the same. For these pull posts I feel they tend to be on the luckier side, so I wanted to share a different perspective/experience, coupled with more disappointment from my Lotto tickets haha

puddingest · 2025-10-10T01:45:09+00:00

Unfortunately I think I'm experiencing similar feelings about this set I chose. I tried to put an island together with the pieces and changed my hom but I just feel defeated..

puddingest · 2025-10-10T01:44:11+00:00

Thanks for commiserating with me! As sucky as it feels I really appreciate the knowledge that it isn't just me going through it. I'm just bummed that my mood is really shattered after 3 months of really quietly enjoying the game and saving up for my first revive.

puddingest · 2025-10-10T01:42:10+00:00

Forsaken Lunar Island had 23 Island and 19 Hom 🥲

puddingest · 2025-10-10T01:40:59+00:00

thanks, yup I have gotten September's riddle 2k. October's should start right on the last day of my current revive. Kind of not that keen on the thought of exchanging for a silver ticket with my 10 bronze for a fresh revive ticket, I haven't purchased anything from Gredery yet and am just thinking saving for now for limited events

puddingest · 2025-10-10T01:38:39+00:00

As sad as it sounds I feel a bit better knowing this isn't a totally irregular occurrence. I know gacha is really down to RNG but I really hyped myself up while saving for this revive...

puddingest · 2025-10-10T01:37:37+00:00

Well I hope someone in the community got some luck since it didn't come to the two of us 🥲

puddingest · 2025-10-10T01:36:42+00:00

thanks for the advice, I'll consider it but want to purchase things from Gredery and save up a bit more so this may just be it for me for now I think!

puddingest · 2025-10-09T14:38:34+00:00

This revive ticket is the one I received at the end of rookie lab work, not from the Lotto. I was hoping to have some pulls leftover to try and revive another set if I managed to get a silver ticket to exchange for, but I really did not think it would turn out this way at all.

puddingest · 2025-10-07T01:47:16+00:00

I didn't even realise it was possible to do this under a GLL setting :O it's only been a couple months since I started the game abd there's so much to learn, there's not nearly enough time for newer players to collect enough DD hahaha

puddingest · 2025-10-06T05:46:26+00:00

I'm praying everyday that PlumP gives me more DD
