The ending scene/cinematography is so beautiful!

After avoiding wuxia/period dramas (everything paled in comparison after The Double), I was happily swept off my feet. Quality series. Some repeated tropes, but they executed it well and in unique combo.
Chen Zhe Yuan is just so damn good. His chemistry with Li Qin was wonderful. The CZY-LQ-Chen He Yi dynamic was phenom.
I am so relieved bc so many cdramas just spoon feed eye candy. The actors in FH are def attractive but they are really good at their craft as well. Music was great and spot on.
Really, a strong cdrama. I just hope that behind the scenes the actors are being treated well.

I agree, very underrated. Impressive story/script. KKY, JSY, and LSH were individually excellent and together phenomenal. It firmly stands the test of time.
Fate by Lee Chan Sol, Gong Ji Chul's theme, is such an incredible song and perfect for GJC. Really the whole soundtrack was well thought out and perfect.
I hesitated because of the ratings. Luckily, I dove in because it is one of my fav k dramas.
This series' ratings- 7.3...what the?@^#!! I just can't understand! Maybe people played arm chair judge rather than rating the actual show?

I loved Born Again. That's how he got on my radar.

God money destroys good art. When I heard abt S3, I had a bad premonition. I ❤️ S1-2 and thought it ended well. I just had to check out S3 regardless. I should have known better.
S3 made a hard nose dive into to a cliff and it was ugly.

Is there a NU entry for it? I can't find one.

Don't forget Eternal Faith

I know, right?!?

I'll start by quoting a classic Pat line: I'm doing my side pack workout...😂 [omfjc the visual that goes with it]

Get into the Thai RomCom mode and enjoy the ride. Ohm and Nanon work well together and have great chemistry. They look comfortable clowning around and it is a joy to watch. When comparing it to other Thai BL RomCom's, imo they blow the others out of the water. Their roles require a wide range of of emotions-- anger to love & heartache to shameless comedy (and inbetween). I didn't feel super cringey mid way, I didn't use ff, and I rewatched it. That is pretty rare for me.
Everybody is entitled to their opinion and all but if you dig Thai BL RomComs and don't like this, I don't get it (not that I have to, but just saying).

Pond and Peterpan have amazing chemistry and carried me through to the end. Awesome spicy scenes, but even the everyday scenes, just glances even, the intimacy was remarkable. I liked the story, for the most part as well. The only thing is it just got plain silly at times (yes, Thiwthit, immediately comes to mind). Only if they could either completely redone that or eliminate the silly camp out of it.....
Pond was amazing in 180 Degree Longitude Passes Through Us and I was excited to see him play in this. If I see another Pond and Peterpan line up, it will definitely make my watchlist.
And the last part of the last episode...I'll admit it, I got emotional. If it were real and not a drama, I'd completely bawl. One day, one day.

I had high expectations & assumed it would be an emotional film for me. It surpassed my expectations in so many ways and after days of digesting it, I am still trying to figure out how I feel about multiple things. That alone says how powerful this work was to me. I expected grief and injustice but it went beyond... unraveling the truth, the real face of poverty, socioeconomical pressures, diverse perspectives, results from choices spiraling out of control... all of it bare and raw--- real. The cinematography and attention to detail were excellent.
Jeff Satur was perfect as Thongkam and "Rain Wedding" is a phenominal song. Naruebet Kuno has impressed me once again. Tawanwad Wanavit, great cinematography!
I am glad this was made and so happy it has deservingly been well received.

I loved the monologues/letters, cinematography, and Michi Teyu Ku (perfect Fujii Kaze). This is an artsy film (although not abstract) and you are required to put a little effort into it to appreciate it in its entirety. It is packed with symbolism and subtlety. That's why I loved it but also likely that its not some people's cup of tea. That being said, I recommend it if you like something meaningful that isn't spelling everything out for you or action packed.

They are a mess made in heaven! Imo, CC and WSW work because they are so messed up. Everyone wants CC and only WSW (who is very flawed and playing him) is the only one who catches his attention. WSW is totally motivated for CC and prob wouldn't fall for anyone else.

ARTTL- I hadn't heard. That will be interesting!!

The chemistry of their kisses is non-existent even though at this point in the story they have been kissing and down each other's pants for quite some time. Physical contact doesn't seem that way but the kisses imo are terrible.

1. She begs him not to. He does it to respect her wishes.
2. WSW wants JXS to help him counter attack and it eventually goes in that direction. Ultimately, WSW is satisfied with JXS and his efforts as his Master/teacher, so in this context, it isn't pimping. Makes more sense in the book.

All of CJD's books have a lot of smoking. NiXi/CounterAttack is no exception.

Both.

Ep 11- Yikes, need an intimacy coach for the kissing scenes. 🙄 Ep 12- Blindfold wasn't omitted & morning was spot on. 🤣
Contrary to worry over the delayed release. I think things were not cut.
