I preferred them when they did angst and emotions in Love Mechanics. They excelled in that.
Its your average action packed drama done by YW. Its average.
I fast forwarded it a lot.
I want to watch shows focusing on bl rather than action. If this was a straight action show it would never get these ratings/views. Its not compelling

I didnt like it. Its action and that is fine.
I enjoyed the angst and emotions and toxicity of love mechanics. They did that well.

Traditionally in fairy tales, a prince is more focused on governing a nation, a princess is more focused on costumes, being pretty and romance.

As a woman, I dont particularly like the fairy tales that condition us.

I have not made a value judgement on what is the correct way for a woman/man to behave. Live and let live.

The actor is portraying the character as being NuNew playing around in fancy costumes. There is no depth or nuance to the acting considering the position and situation he is in. Its like all his other performances. Its frivolous.

EDIT behavious/actions/clothing can be seen or categorised as more masculine or feminine without there being a value judgement.

I agree with your observations and he absolutely had sass from the start.

Despite my criticisms i want Domundi to do well because they are not GMM . Variety and competition is good. I dont just want fluffy high school shows (although GMM has improved there).

I just wish they had not put so many eggs in one basket.

That is actually interesting.

I dont know if the political intrigue taking centre stage would have worked for bl audience - particularly TNP audience who are mainly interested in romance, costumes and fairy tales.

I think the audience was misled by the way this drama has been told and the way it has been filmed and edited. We were set us up to have, or to imagine different expectations about his character.

He never came across as not passionate in fencing (he practised and corrected his errors to improve his fencing). He did not come across as spoiled in the first episode particularly with his behaviour towards his "father". He also an showed interest in his home country.

Maybe NN acting is not good enough to covey the complexity of the actual character you described in the novel. He comes across as a one dimensional bratty princess floating around in pretty costumes, and who has suddenly discovered that people suffer, and has taken an interest in "finding the truth", while his main passion and focus is chasing Charan for sexy times.

lol are you also looking for it. All Im seeing is a brat princess.

Of course she is busy. It takes time to stalk us all and write drivel. Just below this post (and ironically above my other post) she has written an analysis of sex scene that totalled 1347 words or 4 pages in word (i could not resist a word count for research purposes).

I am only watching this show because of people like her. This show may not be engaging but this comment board is. It makes me laugh.

lol - one grandma who considers herself an elite critical thinker but gets so emotional when her show and babies (NN +Zee) get attacked.
I would not be here if it weren't for those type of people.

Its hilarious because she has blocked me which means I cant see 60% of the posts here because she is everywhere.

Thanks for explaining. Some people have mental issues, and are toxic.
We dont need to like all the actors and can hate the plot but you dont cross the line to make it a personal attack. Its pathetic.

This comment board is so much fun. I love reading the comments both from those defending and those critiquing the show. A comment that is not fawning over the actors and show is deemed controversial by over zealous fans (which makes it entertaining).

Some users are getting so emotional and upset at the slightest criticism popping up on every comment to defend their show. One user commented that she is analytical and scored 100% thinking points on a Myers-Briggs test , yet gets so rattled up and emotional because her feelings pervade. She is the one policing this site. (PS Myers-Briggs is considered pseudo science by psychologists).

Some of my thoughts
-The singing scene was about as inspiring as the Pepsi add with Kendal Jenner.
-The nc scene was comical and cringe. Its obvious that it was written by a woman romanticising gay sex. And if you tell me that the two lead actors were involved in creating the scene then I'm embarrassed for them. If they want to do sensual they should learn from Two Worlds (cave scene) and Battle of the Writers ( role-playing scene).
-I wish the writers made me care about the story and the characters. I am watching it because of friends, and because its fun to critique it
-They should have focused more on BDSM couple. They are cute.
-EDIT NetJJ is also cute - they also deserve more attention

Please can you tell us what is being posted about Jimmy and other actors.
Why are the actors being attacked?
I agree that personally attacking actors is not acceptable.

Some people like to watch a train wreck.

Unfortunately its unintentionally cringe and comical.
This show was written by a woman and this apparently how she imagines gay sex.

Its not femophobia - its a preference. You are entitled. And I feel the same way as you do.
A lot of straight woman dont get turned on by effeminate men just like a lot of gay men dont get turned on by lesbian p0rn.

hype over substance.
MacDonalds also sells well but its not quality food.

Style over substance unfortunately. Im watching it (with friends) but it does not engage me.

I am sad that they spent so much on this - to end up with something so bland. It does not engage.

A simple story with a good script and good editing is essential, instead on focusing on costumes and castles. There are other potential deserving dramas with smaller budgets but with more substance that could have been made.

Im a fan of Jeff - he is good looking in very striking kind of way, but Gameplay has got something special that creeps up on you (at least me) and suddenly im more obsessed with Gameplay. I like his features, particularly his eyes. He looks younger then his age, and there is a vulnerability.

I just watched Love with benefits because he was in it. He has chemistry with anybody it seems.

I wish he would act in more bl dramas

I just watched the nc scene. Yes - it was funny.
