Denied Love

Honest review, no hate intended

I read the book before watching the series, and to be honest, I think the series could’ve been done better. It felt too short and a bit rushed. No offense at all, the actors, actresses, and crew did an amazing job, and I really appreciate their hard work. But some scenes felt too long while others didn’t quite make sense. The overexaggerated injury scenes especially came off a little cringe.

That said, I loved episode 9, the part where Rin cried and begged her father to find Khem? That scene was top tier acting. I really felt her emotions. I had high hopes that the final episode would hit just as hard, but sadly, it didn’t meet my expectations. It felt emotionally flat.

It also seemed like they focused more on love scenes to attract viewers rather than digging deeper into the actual storyline. Don’t get me wrong, the chemistry was great. But for me, I didn’t come just for that. I felt more connected to the book than the series.

Again, no hate at all. I know how much effort the whole team put into this. I just wish the series captured the depth and intensity of the book more closely.

If you haven’t read the book yet, please do. It’s truly worth it.

Freakiest GL with the most insane chemistry.

As someone who loves arranged marriage trope with loads of angst and one sided yearning for the other person, i randomly stumbled upon this while searching for a good series to binge - with the first three air's of DL my heart was at sink, it was painfully good with having June (the mommy who can heal my gay withdrawal syndromes just by having her beside me LOL) that i ended up reading the book and also finished reading it in 2 nights including the special book too - already a crazy story to belive, right? i know! But i had so many things bottled up while reading it, i felt angered, i felt anxious, i felt happy all together- it was a different kind of feeling, If we see it closely it was all about Rin’s POV all along , i usually hate the dramas where lead stays hungs between their past and present and hurts the other party who ain't in the fault at all, but, this, this freaking drama unintentionally had something which i just couldn’t help but be hooked on it on it’s every airs even after reading the book. I have a hate-love relationship with Rin but THANK GOODNESS screen writers paid enough attention to her ckt in the adaption, 📙 Rin was messed, horrible, heartless, unbothered AND pathetic. (Im sorry but it’s the truth😭) the video tapes that Rin records at the end of every episodes, it makes me hate her less , i actually like her after those dairies tbh and be pity with her,
as a emotionally fool who still cares about the warmth part of a relationship instead of the bad things
enjoyer seeing June bringing Rin life to it, she did absolute justice to it, i could actually feel like snapping her out and slap her too in times whenever she behaved so ignorantly towards Khem’s obvious feelings like the book Rin (the actor she is - Hahaha) but no matter how much i say, i love Rin (again cz of June) the person who has my heart from the very beginning of the show, is definitely Khem, that kid is someone i really need in my life (but dear girls, never be her irl ) she keeps hoping and be hung on the relationship where there's no hope of a beautiful future at the end of it, very honestly it’s toxicology hopeless, and it hurts like hell too. At the end only EnjoyJune's chemistry saved the drama for me which had nothing except the same back and forth and be in denial of the growing feelings till the end of the story, the director did sloppiness with directing it too and gosh never letting the girls kiss properly LIKE WHATS THE EFFING DEAL!? They had so much sexual chemistry and the depth was certainly visible through their actions, so wished they'd explored more of their bedroom eyes chem rather than putting those weirdly annoying moaning sounds - LET THEM DO THE WORK, THEY CAN DO MUCH BETTER FROM THOSE SOUNDS 😩 also crazy how they added the non existing pool scene (which again wa the crazy setup, everything felt so perfect except the direction😭) but couldn't bother to add the special book scene where Rin proposed her sincerely and more romantically ,
THEY COULD'VE ATLEAST ADDED THE SCENE WHERE THEY WERE SEEN SITTING TOGETHER WATCHING THE STARS IN THE BEACH (THAT SCENE WAS PURE GOLD) the director was extremely lazy ig nonetheless , a good actually a CRAZY watch DL was, im not going to get over them so sooner, until we have next of EnjoyJune , DL is the deal for me. No matter how chopped it is, it’s an addiction i cannt help but be surrendered to it. And Ahhhhh Top Rin can heal so many wounds, i would trade anything just to have her .:/
