Unpopular opinion, the slow pace does not bother me. Pretty sure everyone guessed there would be a misunderstanding between our male leads by that point in the series. It happens in every single BL before they kiss and make up. I was hoping for that route and wanted the rest of the series being them apologizing to each other and then a few happy episodes, maybe some emphasis on Taeha and Jaemin. Then Suyeon happened. I was hoping she would just be a thorn in everyone's side. Lo, and behold! Typical female antagonist. I was wondering when she would rear her ugly head and she did it in typical jealous (wife?) fashion. I see why Taeha ran off. And now she's going after the brother? Shameless.
Personal opinion? If I were Minwoo, I would knock her down a few pegs and either underperform for her big project (resulting in sever consequences career-wise) or find a new job right before the big presentation. Possibly working with a boyfriend?
Much like everyone else, I'm in love with the height difference! Keiji clearly had one-sided feelings for a while and probably spied on Tojo just to figure out if he's gay also. I love how forward he is and the confidence he has when approaching Tojo. He's pretty much telling him he will be his no matter what.
It feels like a more forwardly aggressive Old-Fashioned Cupcake. Which I recommend if these tropes are your taste. The 10 minute special episode is cute, too.
Thailand may be the main source of BL series, but JBL hits differently.
Thought it was BL at first. Don't care about that now. If Farrah ends up with Uno after the way he treated Jared and he doesn't apologize, I'll be pissed. I do hope Jared can get closure with Uno in the end, even if it's simply Jared saying 'f$%k you, a$$hole' so he can move on. Hopefully with Parker.
i think they will if this does rlly well. i hope they get a separate kdrama too, they were hinting at smth starting…
That's what the hope is for. I had a feeling something was going on before that bombshell of a reveal. Plus there was only ever one person who could keep the hyperactive Seung Jin in line from the beginning
I have no words, only tears. I'm not usually one for the non-BL dramas, but this one hit all the marks. The angst. The love. The family dynamic they shared. There's even the hint of a little joke between them about Day and Night that we encounter during their last dinner together. I'm not too familiar with Dew and Pahn, but the effort that was put into this series is seen. While I am a sucker for happy endings, this ending in a sense felt right. It felt natural that it was Day who sacrificed himself. Ozone sitting with Day, from morning until night was heartwrenching but the love the two brothers have for each other is on another level. Even if we don't get a special episode, knowing that they could all be there for Day when he started coming back is enough. Knowing Ozone gets his brother back somehow settles the sadness a bit.
So is Blue just going to be there but Cia can't see him.he was driving the car.I don't get it.aargh. Good show…
Basically it was Blue thanking Sia for helping him figure out how he died and for helping him remember what it was to be close to and love again. The last two lines were Blue asking Sia to remember their promise and that he will always be by his side.
If you've seen the He's Coming To Me series, it's similar to that ending in a way.
Trigger warning: mention of murder Highly doubt anyone reads these but here's my input:
1. Unpopular opinion, I kinda liked it. Here's why: the story is there, but again, I feel they used greenhorn actors and crew. They could have done with a few more workshops but they gave it a valiant effort. They wanted it to be good but the story doesn't have a good flow. Which is in no part the actors fault. The blame should not fully be put on them. Editing, filming, production- all of these have a hand in making the show. It's giving Secret Ghost vibes as far as production. The story is there, just no proper execution. And at no one person or team's fault. You work with what you have/are given. 2. We are not given a proper period setting. However, we can guess that it is before a time when LGBTQ+ was even thought of as being accepted. It makes sense that Loy and Kaew hid their relationship. It makes sense they would run away from a prejudiced village to live in a major city/area where such "transgressions" may not be accepted but are more likely to be tolerated. Yes, it did not make for a good ending. But look at the time period it is set in. Speaking of... 3. The ending. No one wanted a sad ending. Loy did not need to die. We were done dirty by that. But again, look at the time period. One or both may or may not have died at any point in time to begin with. Yes, Loy's mother was accepting of them but that doesn't mean Kaew's family and the rest of the village would have. If the wrong people caught them in Bangkok, they may have had worse done to them. That time period, death was almost inevitable for LGBTQ+ just about every corner of the world. But still, he didn't need to die because of the man child not getting his way. Phaad was just a greedy kid who thought he could do who/whatever he wanted. They easily could have added an end credit scene where Loy and Kaew meet each other in the future (our time, roughly) and have an inexplicable gravitational pull to each other (think UWMA style).
We can't always get the ending we want but sometimes I feel we get the ending we need. The giveaway is in the tile: FIRST LOVE. This was meant to be their first true love story. And if they really wanted to make a second season, they have enough reference material to go off of (again: UWMA and Mission to the Moon) to go off of (Loy and Kaew Seond Love or something). We can't put all the blame of a badly executed series on just the actors and storyline alone. Especially with what seems to be inexperienced people. It may not be a 10/10 but I give them at least a 5/10. If given the right team and storyline, I think the actors who played Loy and Kaew could grow into their own as a couple.
You may now input your rebuttal as I may be a little too lenient in my opinion
I think they've done a good job too but im not expecting a happy ending here
Unless they decide on a similar ending like He's Coming To Me. But it's still kind of an incomplete ending because they aren't like together together. Or he meets someone who is just like Blue but with a different name
It was difficult to get through the first few episodes, not gonna lie. So I was going to give it up at first. But I kept thinking about what happened to Blue? I picked it back up after a few weeks and I'm glad I did. These kids are giving it their all to make this a good series. Yes, at times it is a bit choppy and some parts don't seem to flow, but I agree with whoever thinks this is a college production. Don't judge this show by only the negative comments. These kids are doing a great job and seem to be improving with each episode. I would watch another show with them again so I can see how they have improved. This is a nice slow burn series with what I hope will be a happy ending. Or as happy as you can make a series with the characters the two leads play. If you take issue with a slower paced story with newer actors, keep going. I'm supporting this show and the ones involved in it.
I didn't think it was that bad. Was it the best? No, there was some room for improvement. The actors had good chemistry together for being a new pairing. I think they would do better with more serious and mature roles. I agree maybe cut it shorter, the story was stretched too thin and a bit choppy.
Like I said, was it the best? No. But I think we can all agree we have seen worse *coughFAHLANRUKcough*
I was just as teared up as everyone else but don't forget there was an unknown red flag moment mentioned in ep 1. So Phi's toxic tendencies may have started showing then.
This is just my own theory: As far as the break-up, I have a feeling the route they might take is the further education trope. I think Tawan may have been given the chance to get his master's because he had just finished school before going back to help. But more than likely Phi never listened to Tawan about it and since he didn't feel heard, he did what was in his best interests and left for himself.
Am I finally gonna get my wish and see Sorn lose himself in a jealous fit over Jun and another man?! Seeing the way he acted towards Jom made my night but next week's episode might be even better! Granted we all know the end game but there's just something about seeing Sorn torn up by Jun trying to live his best life and I'm here for it! Nobody leaves Jun on the back burner!
Who’s drop P’Sorn? I sure wouldn’t. Especially with his hair down.
Good. Make him squirm. But not right away. I want 2 or 3 episodes where he goes home alone and Jun goes home with other guys. Not even to sleep with, just to eat at Sorn
Who’s drop P’Sorn? I sure wouldn’t. Especially with his hair down.
I know we know how it all ends. I just want to see Jun have his moment and put Sorn in his place. But I do agree with your Sorn sentiments. Throw Jun in the mix amd bf and I would be happy lol
Personal opinion? If I were Minwoo, I would knock her down a few pegs and either underperform for her big project (resulting in sever consequences career-wise) or find a new job right before the big presentation. Possibly working with a boyfriend?
