Yeah.... it's so messed up that the ML has known this since he first met the MC, but no one ever tells him... 😩 Even the psychiatrist was like: oh well~ It is what it is 🤦‍♀️ I wanted to scream at the end...
They're all just happy that the ML is finally taking his medication and the couple is happy... All the characters need to get exorcised except the MC lol
It really is! I need all the Black Flags to get their comeuppance. I actually don't mind the twist; there's so many dramas where the MC can see ghosts atp that psychosis is actually a breath of fresh air.
But I can't root for a relationship that propagates such an enormous lie... I really hope the show fixes this... I hope you're right that Santa's character puts two-and-two together or he has better friends in the show... or Perth's character tells the truth-that would be even better.
But thanks for riding this wave with me... I'm still flabbergasted haha

I was literally just thinking the same thing! The only person who would know Puifai was raped by Tar AND care enough to get revenge seems to be Puifai herself (since the entire friend group is a den of snakes). At first I thought it was a I Know What You Did Last Summer scenario due to that bloody 5 second flashback, but after the serial killer locked on Tar because of SAing Puifai, I had it in my mind that it's Puifai committing the crimes. And the forensic doctor has to be in on it, since he's the one who has handled her entire autopsy- even outside of his jurisdiction. It's all really sus to me!

1) The series just ends so abruptly. I thought I was going crazy when I got to the final chapter 😭 2) You learn that there are no ghosts and the MC and ML share joint psychosis. Which I guess is an interesting twist, but I think what I didn’t like is that you find out the ML has been hallucinating about ghosts for years (at the end, it’s revealed he starts taking his psychiatric meds once he is in a happy stable relationship with the MC). He knows they are hallucinations and that the MC’s “ghost” are also hallucinations. But he uses the MC’s cowardly nature and fear of ghosts to manipulate him saying that he is the only one who can get the MC’s heart to race fast enough to get rid of the ghosts. So he pretty much gaslights the MC into letting him touch him, kiss him, move in together, and then later tells him that if they have sex, he will stop seeing ghosts entirely. Of course he knows this isn’t true and that the MC will agree. I believe that the MC would’ve slept with him anyways, ghost or not, so it’s not dubcon… but their whole relationship was built on the premise of the lie… and then I kept waiting for him to say: psyche! They’re not real~ But no, it just ends with them having sex and the side characters finding out that the whole thing was BS. And he never tells the MC ever… it was just… strange… Like if my partner withheld that from me when all along I could’ve gotten psychiatric help, I’d be a little angry…

I’m still excited for this drama, but I just finished the manhwa and I’m a little disappointed by the ending…

I have one word to say: Fahlanruk.

Shout it from the rooftops so everyone in the back can hear!

Thank you! I clocked out for the last 4 episodes tbh, and I kept expecting things to make shit if I kept pushing through the confusion, but it just kept getting more whack the more I watched.
Thanks for your help 🙏

Like, for example, there's an entire scene where Ramil says he doesn't eat human food for sustenance. But then he'll complain to Punn how hungry he is and in response, Punn will cook him human food - make it make sense... No wonder why you're always hungry!

At least in My Golden Blood, they were getting synthetic blood via blood transfusions...

I have a really stupid question... if time never stops in the portrait, won't it be like Ramil and Punn never left?

Because wasn't the point in Ep.6 that when they escaped into the portrait to heal Ramil's wounds, when they returned to the real world, it would be as if time had never had not passed?

I understand if time stops in the painting, but continues as usual in the real world (because Ramil was sealed inside the painting for 100 years but time outside the painting still passed, but ig it was only a few seconds technically from lol) , however when they returned from the painting, it was the same night that the original attack happened despite them being inside for at least 2-3 nights based on their sleep patterns ... so now I'm confused lol

All of them are saying emotional goodbyes, Ramil gave Methas instructions on how to care for the roses, and Punn said they'd visit frequently, but wouldn't it be like they'd return to the real world and it'd be the same day they left? They could easily spend lifetimes inside the portrait without missing a moment of their loved ones lives too... technically...? Did I misunderstand how this space-time defying portrait work 🤣

I love the fun cereals- my Fruit Loops, Frosted Flakes, Coco Puffs etc. but guess it’s cuz sometimes I just want plain Cheerios 🤷🏻‍♀️
I’m basic like that, but in world of proliferating unique BL series, sometimes I just want to eat comfort food.

The great news is you have a lot more choices than a few years ago, and dropping this drama probably won’t be any skin off your back with so many great options continuing to air this year.

Putting aside execution, GMMTV has been diversifying their settings and plot-lines outside of the stereotypical school themes.
We had criminal 10 Things I Hate About You, 2 vastly different vampire series, exes at the office, a well executed idol meets director series (weirdly enough, there really aren’t that many idol BLs despite starring so many idols lol), a pre-WWI, class defying romance, an amnesiac prince, and a psychic x doctor run away series. While not all of them were my favorite, there were some gems there and I would genuinely be sad if I’d never seen ThamePo or My Magic Prophecy. Sure GMMTV puts out a lot of mid dramas, but the excitement for me is finding those few shows that shine in my eyes, and as for the rest of them, I just drop them and move on 🤷🏻‍♀️

Like you said, there’s a lot of other masterpieces out there.

I agree with you. Also saved that baby from being raised by two scumbags. Bad parents are show to be a life ruining theme in this show. If a professor is willing to drug/SA/film/leak that footage - and it’s shown it isn’t his first rodeo- and his wife stands by casually and lets that happen (while also berating the victim), I can’t see them being good parents.

There’s no way the wife doesn’t suspect something after all these years. When you’re with someone, you may not have a finger on the pulse as to what’s wrong exactly, but there’s always an underlying suspicion when something is truly off. And Ice can’t be the first and only one who’s accused her husband of something similar after being a repeat offender.

And having a father that not only preys on students like that but then also manipulates other students/victims to join him in his sick side hobby 🤢 I can only imagine what kind of father he’d be…

Is the BL world too interconnected? The song they used for the Ep. 6 Couch NC scene was also in the hotel hug scene of Revamp Ep.4. It’s called “I Want You to Stay” by Victor Lundberg (the artist behind I Remember from the ThamePo pilot trailer) and it’s not exactly a well known song. Is Victor Lundberg pawning off his songs to BL shows? Or is there one person behind all BL soundtracks? 😂

Glad I could help 🤣

Sorry lol I actually think this is pretty happy for a Cdrama lol
Maybe the extra will show them reincarnated. Or it’s just a BTS compilation haha

I think it’s because he didn’t think XSH would poison himself.
He thought it was a conciliatory drink that there would be peace between their two kingdoms. But XSH peaced out ✌️

Yes, I just watched it cuz I need to know if it was a HE or SE. I would say it’s bittersweet.

That is the end of the series. Ig they kept it the same, since I didn’t read the novel.

I just skipped to the end, so forgive me if it’s not 100%, but Xiao Shuhe decides to take poison ending his life as “revenge” (tricks DZA into thinking is a conciliatory peace drink- really laced with poison)/ unify the lands (vs. running away) and Duan Zi’ang is shown clutching his dead body, while spitting up blood.

XSH goes to the afterlife to see his brother, who has been waiting for him all this time.
He tells XSH to follow him, but XSH decides to wait.
He is quickly followed by DZA, who appears just as he did before he was emperor. They smile at each other lovingly, seemingly reunited in death/afterlife.
(Could be a mirage knowing Cdramas, but I choose the glass half full interpretation).

I appreciate you and BV92 for bringing awareness to this situation ❤️
Just know that anyone who honestly believes Msnakes evil editing probably wasn’t voting for Junseo to begin with or was only using him as padding. At the end of the day, all that matters is how strong his 1-Pick is, since he’s very likely to make it to the finale. Just stay strong and keep voting for Junseo.
I’m a Leo 1-Pick, so I know how it feels to see so much hate for your pick; I have a few devices, so I’ll try to keep Junseo in my rotations and keep my fingers crossed that he makes it to the finale; it would be sad to lose such a good leader.

First fantasy/supernatural Cdrama I’ve enjoyed in a while after a handful of disappoints I've watched this year ❤️

I love how competent, resourceful, confident, and wise the FLis; there’s nothing remotely babyish, superfluous, or frustrating about her yet imo (there's still time for her to get amnesia or something though...).
ML is kindhearted, righteous, and a bit of a damsel in distress haha (I’m personally a sucker for a damsel ML being consistently saved by his white knight FL).
Watching their budding love story unfold every episode has been a treat- it’s not too slow, not too fast.
And the fact that every episode is peppered with scenes between the leads means I’m not over-inundated with them, so I savor every time they come into contact with one another during an episode- so far, they're kinda doing their own thing, united every episode by the circumstances of their professions.
Better yet, the plot outside the romance is very exciting and face paced, keeping me interested in everything in between those moments where the leads light up my screen.
The supernatural cases aren’t revolutionary, but they’re solid and paired with some really nice cinematography and effective blocking.
My only issue is I have to pirate the show despite the fact that I’m subscribed to both WeTV and Viki…😒

I can’t for the life of me understand this rating, but oh well. Ratings usually level out to be more accurate once the show is over anyways. It has more than 30 episodes to work with and hopefully change everyone's mind. I hope this continues to have this level of quality from start to finish and doesn’t implode at the end…
