you know what? no there is not a fkt getting praised compilation (that i could find) despite every director and co-actors saying they are fantastic at their jobs and that they are every directors' dream to work with (p'jo's words). kind of shocking actually, please, feel free to add in the comments and reblogs interviews and such because someone needs to repair this missing piece in the fandom, please and thank you.

but anyway, if you saw the eclipse special, i also recommend you watching the moonlight chicken special. there's a segment where they talk about the actors, and p'aof and earthmix talk about firstkhao as actors.

p'jo has talked about fk's acting choices quite a few times, like when ray wakes up at sand's house for the first time and he keeps shaking his hands and dusting his clothes. i feel he has talked about first/sand in the opening scene of episode 8, too (the sandray break up/when i'm with you i'm so damn happy scene) but i can't find the source so i might as well have made that up (but i'm almost sure he commented on it). p'jo has a lot of affection for both first and khaotung actually. it's kind of sweet. you can watch only friends' bts videos and there are tidbits like him crying during ray's therapy session or when ninew had heart eyes while watching fk rehearse their ep. 11 music shop scene. force has also talked about how ray's scene at mew's birthday party was his favorite from the ones they had recorded up until that point.

there's also what joong said about them staying in the scene even when they aren't on camera to keep giving each other the right emotion.

out of the top of my head, these are the ones i could remember tbh. i can't remember seeing interviews of p'nuchy, but we know first worked really hard, like learning sign language for yok to communicate with his mom, the fact that he's scared of heights but had to jump from building to building, and so on and so forth. p'nuchy still is very fond of her duck.

it's not people in the industry, but i'll always take a chance to talk about how when first was announced as doctor karn in my magic prophecy, many many jimmysea fans praised the choice saying that if it's first playing karn, then they knew that he'd be able to deliver a good portrayal of the character.

again, pls, if anyone has anything else to add to this (bc i know there's more, i just can't remember), please do so. i think it's due that we get a compilation of them being praised for their acting abilities.
