before i start: Will i ever see adult Gu Hai and Bai Luo?. .

1 min in: Ohh adult Gu Hai. wow. let's go!!!

6 mins in: wtf??? the show trying to start with a bang but did not consider logic. i need to pause.

i am not comparing and i hate to nickpick (but im doing it lol) the first encounter is ok but the bite, the kiss (not to mention bad acting) and falling on the pool is over the top. i keep on saying its a dream its a dream.. no way in hell its real 😂

then the tub scene, then coming on the exam late ( like its not real.. oh please) and to complete the scene you need to tear the exam paper and the proctor will only react after the deed and be scared bcoz of ur family name 😂

Maybe the next scenes will be better and the events will be explained but i need to pause for now, i cant stand this blunder 😬

its actually his dad's nickname for SW, the book translator explained that it means kid (correct me if im wrong) then there's a milk brand Wang Zai the logo is SW dp in wechat, its a funny image you can check in google. so i think, initially JT called him that to playfully annoy him and eventually it became an endearment of sort.

im so invested.. i watch it in kisskh first bcoz their OSTs have trans w/c made me appreciate the song more, then watch it in nflix and notice some diff in trans. i thought kisskh is iqyi but then saw some post re "come out of the closet" and i havent read that in kh and nflix, why are they doing this to me 😭😂

comparison:during the fight
KissKh: canon: Go to hell, JT: you go to hell not others

then cam focus on SW shocked face then afterwards he thanked JT for what he said. i got confused. It all make sense in Nflix 😂

N: canon: fuck your mom, JT: fuck your own mom and not other people

IQIYI: canon: (no trans) JT: if you want to hurry up just do ito yourself

its so hard, i just wanna enjoy the drama but some things are lost in trans that became apparent bcoz multiple platforms are airing it simultaneously 🙃

he started the bitter summer 😭

i said this Are You the One i hate it when monarch played God and bestow marriage... and now, not ten minutes in the story and a monarch practicing her superiority and bestowing marriage again. lol.

but since this is the driving force why the ML and FL will meet each other I calmed down..

the story is promising. let's go!

1+ this and the unknown - idk if its bcoz their stories are good that's why they got adapted to live drama and the screenplay and directing is quality so they got a lot of of attention but there's a lot of great danmeis w diff trope out there and i hope if they will be coming on small screen they will have the same quality if not better than these one.

it takes me an hour or so to finish an episode... replaying some scenes to savor the feeling. we are only on the 3rd ep but i think im gonna be spoiled.

i wish thai bl can have this good script and good production. yep, i am comparing, they already have a pool of good actors w great chemistry and they only need a quality script with a not so lazy production. 🙃

i hate it when the monarch bestow marriage like its a God's gift.

he's hitting 2 fools and 1 precious in that long play im clapping my hands in awe

oh. thank you.

HELP! im so lost.. did i skipped on some scenes... i remember the queen dowager talking to Minister Shi that he will be assigning Ziyu somewhere far, then now he is the Emperor? what happened to the Queen and his young son?

CXZ: i'll listen to you...

PAIN

im talking bout the book first kissed. sorry im not so clear.. as i understand.. ep 1 -2 they are just knowing each other and JT have some positive developing feelings

i suddenly felt sad that their first kiss is not that special anymore.. no build up. no riptide. no conflicting emotions and then wild abandon, they kissed and accepted that they fell in love.

Edit: i mean on the book - they kissed and accepted that they fell in love with e/o not in ep 1-2.

its a time skip. 80% highschool story.. they met again as a professionals. i forgot 8-10yrs (not sure) JT dad is a closeted gay, so his mom got a trauma from before and totally breakdown when she finds that his son as well. they separated, bitter summer. and met again as an adult.

this is actually adapted from a book. yeah another "siblings" story, here the mom had a son (MC) got together with a guy w/c also had a son (ML)... its a two teenager who are forced to be "siblings" because their single parents decided to be together to provided them with a complete family setup... then they adapt to the situation... and great story happened.

i love the book, its funny, its sweet and warm, and "devastating". I hope this adaptation will give its justice. (havent watch it yet)

i think what happened to BM and T relationship happens in real life, one who thinks they put more effort more than the other so they unconsciously fell to someone else that give them more attention but yeah cheating is cheating... 😐

offgun 🔥 the slow burn is burning me so mad, making me a stupid giggling girl in 30s 😂

PS im obsessed with PJane hand movement during the confession and blocking scene. help 😭

love the main leads but RJ and ZFG is a revelatio, love the actors chemistry and natural lines delivery, its like a normal frenemy at work turned to lovers ❤️

6 episodes - so far so good :))

the fl and ml and the whole set up are freaking hilarious. WCR acting as naive and dedicated wife suits her. She's so pretty. this is the first time I am watching ZWY, his aura feels like suited as a villain to me, but him acting as a hesitant and a loser husband is actually good for my taste. Im having fun on his every little expressions, he is funny without trying so hard.

yup you are allowed 😊

wont comment on nc scenes i saw what i saw. (on particular nc scenes)cringe.. if you are not, good for you.

i watch a lot of dramas from kdrama, cdrama and thai drama (mostly bl) and the thai production is really average, but CoL story could have been diff, the production could have exert more effort, this could have been an epic on my book. The story is already great, actors are doing great just that the production felt a lil short. this is in no way to attack the show i just dont want to settle that just bcoz its a "thai bl" I need to lessen my standard, again I find the the story fresh thats why expected better quality.
