Bound by Sin: Episode Thoughts

[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]

 Arclei:

Ep 1 of Bound by Sin...

Definitely an interesting beginning- Curious to see where this goes

- She is very bold to take picture of him in that way. No that girl doesn't play. 

- Is it a man or is it a cake ?  The way she is looking at ML is so meaningful. I thought  she wanted to have him for dessert ^^. 

- What... she is asking him if he likes her body... And that makes him shy. Oh Oh great premise. 

- He is not the shy type, but he is with FL. Sweet. 

- I don't like the fiancé. He can definitly snap and be violent. I guesss he could never allow her to have any toy boy.

- "It even stays perfectly straight when you bend down" : that forshadowing is interesting ^^

Bound by Sin- Episode One

- I liked the aesthetics of the show and the costumes. 

- The story is very engaging. And the boyfriend is very weird. He seems to be ok for them to fake it but He seems very shady.

- ML  is cute trying to refuse her all the time, whereas he started stripping on his own accord. ^^

- The pictures , it is supposed to be for leverage. But I get the feeling, she just wanted to peep at him. We'll see.

Ep 1 of Bound by Sin... 

Responding to your comments 

• "FL gonna get revenge for him, I just know it."  YESS, I can feel it. I wish she had witnessed the first slap on the balcony because, in reality, he was slapped twice. 
• " he's giving scum " From what I can gather, her future hubby is definitely giving off some major red flags. He might act all chill about giving up control, but trust me, the moment she starts stepping into her power, he’s going to throw a fit. It’s like he’s just looking for a pretty trophy he can keep on a shelf and boss around.
• "ML: *can't use a lighter* "Seriously? He was in the army and never stumbled upon a lighter? That’s just hard to believe! 😂
• "It even stays perfectly straight when you bend down"I can't believe we missed out on a slow-mo shot of that angle—what a total letdown!...   🧐
• "The narration" whose POV Is it exactly, our FL?  🤔
• "THE JOURNALIST ...SNAPPING A GODDANG PIC T-T"  I was cackling! It was completely ridiculous, peak drama writing.  A pitch-black road, not a soul in sight(even though there were residential buildings on that block), and boom—car crash! And who’s the lucky witness? Our fabulous journalist! What are the odds?  🤡

Responding to your comments (My Episode One )

• "it's giving "don't take me, take her!" He's giving off major snake vibes, honestly. He strikes me as the kind of guy who'd throw anyone under the bus just to save himself. You know the type who thinks they're in the game but are just sitting on the sidelines? I hope our female lead just wipes the floor with him if he tries to bring her down. But then again, she seems pretty ruthless herself, so it’ll be fascinating to see which way she swings.
•  I totally forgot to bring this up earlier, but the moment she pulled a gun on her brother had me in stitches! You know those classic sibling scenarios where one is just done with the other’s nonsense? Yeah, she was like, “I’m over your shenanigans. Say goodbye to your brain cells!” 😂😂😂 I’m all for female characters who aren’t shy about brandishing a weapon when the mood strikes!
• Let’s talk about a little gem called Harlem Nights, starring Eddie Murphy. Imagine this: our fabulous FL losing their marbles while taking on the drug smugglers—especially the ones who had the audacity to sell to  Xu Yawei. I mean, who doesn’t love a good gunfight thrown into a historical setting? It’s like slapping some fiery hot sauce on a taco that was already a culinary masterpiece—just cranks up the thrill! There’s something about a dash of gunpowder and a sprinkle of illegal antics that gets my adrenaline pumping!
• "definitely more spice than the usual love rival bullcrap" Honestly, I’ve never been a fan of those cliché love rival plots, whether it’s a dude or a diva. The character development is usually so cringe-worthy that it makes me want to throw my popcorn at the screen. They come off as whiny, entitled toddlers who just can’t handle their feelings. If the writing had a little more pizzazz, maybe I wouldn’t feel the urge to pull my hair out every time. But no, we’re stuck with these drama queens who spend half their time sobbing and plotting ridiculous schemes that flop harder than a fish out of water. I’m just sitting there like, “Oh great, here we go again. Where's our wicked fee line when you really need it? We've got a smorgasbord of fish on the menu—enough to stuff you like a Thanksgiving turkey!
• "I was totally expecting her to butt in at some point " She could have easily hopped out of that car! I mean, after that intense five-minute staring contest with the lighter, he casually strolled over to the other side and slid into the driver’s seat. Talk about a plot twist! Those old-school cars didn’t have automatic locks, so she must have been so out of it that she couldn’t even muster the energy to escape. She was probably just snoozing in the back after all that drama. LMAO! 
• ' it could just be insurance for their contract xD' or our FL just wanted to see that straightened back again I'm not sure if she's just straightforward or she has ulterior motives for anything she does. We haven't gotten much of her personality yet but it's still hilarious.
• I found it amusing that we saw her taking photos of him and the pants drop within just 30 seconds of the first episode. I'm really looking forward to seeing that blindfold on the poster because it adds a sexy touch that I appreciate. It has a vibe reminiscent of 50 Shades, but in the best possible way.

Responding to you responding to my comments :3

• "the first slap" - I feel like she probably knows cuz otherwise how did he get them fresh cuts on his pretty face, hmmmm 
• "...he’s going to throw a fit" - That is EXACTLY right. He's chill as long as she does what he wants
• "That’s just hard to believe!" - Especially in them olden days!!! Everyone smoked xD he says it's cuz he was STUNNED by her beauty and like, I get it but it still seems silly xD 
• "I can't believe we missed out" - AUUUUUUUUUGH, you're right- we were ROBBED!!!! T_T Maybe we'll get an extra juicy one next time? But still, feels like a missed opportunity
• "whose POV Is it exactly, our FL?" - Not sure. 'Cause it refers to them both in third person... ML by name and FL as 'that woman'... 🤔maybe it's a 'ML telling the story in the future' type scenario 
• "It was completely ridiculous, peak drama writing" - I'M CRYING, IT'S SO UNSERIOUS LMFAAAOO

Responding to you responding to me responding to your initial comments xD

• "just to save himself" - yeeeeah, you're not wrong there. He pretends to be "not like the other guys" but really, he's worse T_T 
  • "I hope our female lead just wipes the floor with him" - Looking forward to this too! I feel we'll get a lot of power struggle between the two o-o and poor ML will be caught in the middle
• "You know those classic sibling scenarios" - OMGGGG, you're SO right!! She was ready to remove that thorn from her side right then and there XD We love to see it!
•  "who doesn’t love a good gunfight thrown into a historical setting?" - OOOOOO fingers crossed we get a cool situation like this!!
•  "I’ve never been a fan of those cliché love rival plots" - Hate them with passion... I like my romance straightforward in this sense T_T I definitely agree that it's very often the way this is presented that makes it so grating- It's my issue with love triangles- If they're done tastefully, they'd definitely be more palatable and, who knows, maybe even enjoyable :O
  • "that flop harder than a fish out of water" - SOBBING XD
• "She was probably just snoozing in the back after all that drama" - ohhhhh, I hadn't thought of that. I guess it makes sense xD Still though, since she seemed to be looking for a 'fix', one would think that she would be more restless- but maybe the whole thing exhausted her too much like you said 
• "or our FL just wanted to see that straightened back again" - I'm sure this will come into play again anyways~ Watch her use him like a table 💀
• "or she has ulterior motives for anything she does" - I feel like she probably does xD But it'd be nice if all she wanted of him was a boytoy, hahaha
• "I'm really looking forward to seeing that blindfold on the poster" - You and me BOTH!!!! Idk if you watched the trailer, but like, let me just say that when it comes to the spice, I think we're in for one HELL of a treat

Gonna go watch Ep 2 now >:)

 Simi_Tutu:

she had alcohol before her ass was sent down the stairs XD

Riiiiiiight, that too xD

Rainkissed Fate

Whaaaaaa, I never heard of this drama :O Do tell, do tell! 

I've honestly been mostly into more serious dramas of late. Currently watching a thriller xD Comedy or very lighthearted stuff isn't hitting for me atm, haha

Ep 2 of Bound by Sin 

• NAH THAT XU GIRL IS VIIIIIIIIILE- theft, public humiliation, AND abuse? jail- I see FL's eyes, she's gonna smite that spoiled brat xD Pookie looks like he's gonna cryyy :(( 
• Yoooooo, the detailing in his suit is niiiiice! :O 
• AAAA, he's playing hard to get~ Ooooo~ The feisty ones are always the most fun :3
• The love eyes staring really is long, good grief T_T
• "If I were on his side, I'd admire his dignity and integrity, but my job is to clean up this mess so his stubbornness is giving me a headache" Her assistant is PEAK- I love it when supporting characters are more than just mindless lackeys 🙏
  • Also, I fear that dignity of his won't last very long x'D (edit: I was right)
• Okkkkk but I love the twist on the orphan lead trope. ML having a sister and therefore not being able to afford to be mindlessly reckless in his pursuit of justice/revenge is refreshing!! I hope they stick with it 
• That white dress with the pearls is ELITE- SHE LOOKS LIKE A QUEEN
• Did bro just waltz into her home/office? 🤨 whaaaa? No guards? Where is her assistant? No one informed her? Apparently this also happens with her fiance (as we see in the beginning of ep 1)... but he's at least someone relevant to her- idk, is weird
• Is it just me or does ML look... confused a lot? xD I feel like it might be because he's a weaker actor compared to FL T_T 
• Holy... holy... the LOOK she gave him when he goes "Then what do you need me to do?"- even I am blushing. Girl doesn't even need to say anything, we all know what she's thinknig, whew
• OH MY GOD- I WAS RIGHT, IT'S LEVERAGE XD IM SOBBIIIIINNNGGGG-
  • "...I'll be the only one who gets to admire these photos" I- 😳 oooo, this a red flag kinda FL~ I'm intrigued
  • "This is just a lil hobby of mine" ...what? Mind running that by me again? xD She really collects nudes- honestly... I respect the hustle? Wonder if they were all obtained through similar means 
• The power play... THE POWER PLAY- Watching him undress- I'm- I- how did this get by censorship? HOW?! Not that I'm complaining but HOW?!
• Not the EYE CONTACT T_T Bro really trying to maintain even a shred of pride and she's enjoying every moment of it
• Poor pookie rlly has a lot of scars... Can't wait for her to gently caress them while they're lying together in bed <3 
• GIRL TOOK A MILLION FRIGGING PICS- YOU CAN PUT DOWN THE CAMERA, GIRL- YOU DIDN'T EVEN MOVE, IT'S THE SAME PHOTO A BILLION TIMES- AT LEAST GET DIFFERENT ANGLES, IM SOBBING- rich people are built different, istg
• "You can also be my plaything" augh she's so bold, I cannotttt. Also not her giving him the illusion of choice- she's baaadd (love her)
• Huh, seems like her photography hobby is usually way milder... ML must've piqued her interest
• Yupppp, scummy fiance just wants to tie her down- she's too much of a baddie, bro. Good luck xD

To think I trimmed a lot of my commentary already- this is very rambly T_T My apollocheese

 Arclei:

Thanks for the recc!!

Yay, I finally made a recommendation. Usually, I'm the one getting the recommendations here. My PTW list is way long thanks to you guys. lol 

 Arclei:

you say you're not good at making people invested

Oh, that's not me trying to get you into it. That's just my ADHD whenever I'm excited about something I can go on a long tangent if I try to explain things I'm stuck. It's like my brain forgets to brain LMAO
