I agree. I really like the series but I'm not vibing with the main couple. Tbh I've never seen the chemistry between KengNamping IRL. Maybe I'll change my mind when the romance really start.

C'est clair. En fait, je ne veux pas une copie de OFC mais j'attends de personnages adultes, bientôt la quarantaine en plus, qu'ils se comportent comme tels. Je comprends qu'on est tous différents et j'apprécie le fait que Tojo soit une baby girl mais je pense qu'il y a des réactions, des comportements que l'on devrait plus avoir en vieillissant. J'ai bientôt 41 ans, mes ami.e.s aussi et on est tous d'accord pour dire qu'avec l'âge, on est devenu moins hésitants, moins complexés, on tient moins compte de l'opinion des autres, on a plus le temps pour les mind games. T'as 40 ans, certes célibataire depuis 10 ans, mais lorsqu'un mec flirt clairement avec toi, tu peux pas douter pendant des semaines/mois. T'attends pas que le mec te propose en mariage quoi. Si t'es intéressé, tu l'exprimes clairement et concrétises. Même des lycéens comme KangMoo dans Only Boo et ShaneKit dans Boys In Love expriment mieux leurs sentiments et sont proactives dans la relation lol.

How to fuck up an already average series... I don't like Cha's behavior since last episode. I understand he's lost and feels guilty toward his grand-son but it makes no sense for him to get this close to his bully. And who cares he's seeing a red string ? Can't he choose his destiny, aka seize this opportunity to be with the person he loves ? Life gave him another chance at love. Who cares about a red string attached to his bully ?

1 episode left and I can't see how they're gonna end this. The series concept was fresh and interesting but they didn't come through with it. They didn't explore Cha's relationship with his young friend and his late wife. They talked about love, red string and his regrets but they've shown nothing. They introduced Zefang 3 episodes ago but he did nothing until last episode (I understand he is the one playing with the red string to confuse Cha). The show told us he's a bitch and Ri Ging is a bully, yet some people want him to come back and be with Ri Ging. Why ? Why does he deserve to come back ? Being young and pretty is a reason enough ? And if he does come back, why should we care ? We don't know him, we didn't see his character develop through the series. Why was he mean ? Did he learn anything from the whole ordeal ? Is he gonna do better if he gets his body back ?

Good episode but I don't know, the "break up" didn't move me. Cause at this point they're still playing this "are we, are we not" game. Maybe if they had confessed and started dating, this scene would have resonated more with me ? As it is,it feels like another complication to delay the "pay off".
Also, Keishi after being so harsh should have gone to Tojo's house to talk instead of calling him. I mean, let's be more spontaneous and pro-active! Go to that guy's, apologize and ask him to be your boyfriend. Let's get it over with!

Yeah, good guess. It wouldn't surprise me.

You might be right. New is booked and busy and I don't get why he's still taking projects. I was so pissed when I found out he was directing this series.

I think in next week preview, someone says to Nut something like "I saw how you're looking at him". Him being Win. My theory is that because Nut is afraid of his father and might also have internalized homophobia, he's going to get close to Lin in order to run away from his feelings. But he's always been in love with Win.

Sea is so pretty. I can't! He owns this hairstyle. Needs to keep it now.

But why did Sea cut his hair ? And since when does it matter in thai bls ? For years we've seen so many faux-raccord due to hairstyle change and now it's an issue ?

Can we stop talking about low budget this, low budget that ? Is low budget a synonym of bad quality ? I watch a lot of historical cdramas and I think this series is as good as many cdramas airing every year, nothing to be ashamed of : good acting, compelling plot and good dialogues.
The MLs chemistry is excellent and I love the little details of intimacy like Ziang adjusting Shu He's coat, Ziang caressing Shu He's cheek, their hands caressing...
With only 12 episodes let's hope they'll land it smoothly.

Long Lee should stop acting and focus on his boxing career before we start questioning his character. Cause why is he always playing toxic characters in shit series ? That's not funny anymore.

And you're doing exactly what you're complaining about...

I like it very much. First ep was a bit confusing due to bad editing but second episode is better. The chemistry is already there and the acting is less stiff.
I appreciate the deception game and the fact that both MLs are smart.

It's not giving what it's supposed to give. Somehow this story about a 40yo and his younger subordinate feels immature. Why this grown ass man still acting like a teenager ? Keishi is mature and understanding but he shouldn't be afraid to express himself more "forcefully". Tojo ain't gonna die if he confesses to him and kisses him.
What a letdown.

Last two episodes were good, especially ep6. I really like Genki acting.
I really can't believe Natsu doesn't recognize Hiro. He literally lives with Hiro but never looks at the intercom or mailbox ? Must be a japanese thing to go out with someone and not ask their name... I hope it will be reveal he knew all along and was waiting for Hiro to adress the subject.

Knotting is in werevolwes omegaverse, no ? I've never read a human omegaverse with knotting. There's no mention of knotting in the novel.

Well damn. To humiliate him, why ? That's crazy. I'll have to read this part again.

Yeah but IIRC before SWL made his offer, SSY asked Chang Yu for the drug. Chang Yu rejected SSY plea. Then SWL called SSY to make a deal. SSY refused it at least 2 times. He even thought "too bad for his father" lol. They had been working on this drug for months specifically for Sheng's father. Now that it's ready, why scheme like that ? Why test SSY ? That was gratuitous.
Regarding SSY business, I don't remember exactly but Hua Yong actions made SSY lost several deals and almost bankrupt before he decided to joint force with SSY company. I still don't get it.

I read it weeks ago. It wasn't that great, I'm not sure I remember much. But what do you want to know ?

I love this series but ep8 was boring. I know they're following the book closely but I don't think every situation has to be brought onscreen. Especially scenes that can be confusing for the viewers.
I've read the book and there were two instances where I still don't get Hua Yong motives and thought his actions were unnecessary. Maybe some of you can explain to me ?
-In ep8, when Hua Yong sends luring pheromones to Sheng during the meeting. In the book, the whole situation didn't make sense to me. What was the point ?
-When SWL offers the cure to Sheng in exchange of Hua Yong. At this time, Hua Yong and Sheng are together, it's obvious Sheng loves Hua Yong. So why put Sheng into agony and make him choose between his father and Hua Yong ? And when Sheng refuse SWL's offer, thus proving his love for Hua Yong, why Hua Yong still goes to SWL ?

Desire is one of the best ABO novel I've read but tbh moments like those mentioned above made me question the work : there's times when Hua Yong's schemes went too far, either by jeopardizing Sheng's business and credibility or by emotionally abusing Sheng. Quite OOC for a character that profess his everlasting love and devotion for Sheng but then does extreme shit hard to forgive.
