There was just nothing likeable about Ton - as best I could figure, Chon was in love with a childhood fantasy, who he remembered Ton as, and adult Ton was absolutely nothing like that, not even deep inside. And everyone was going along with it!
The beginning of the end for me was when, in 30 seconds, they completely showed who Na was - he explained why he acted like he did and he bought food for the people on the street. They couldn't even do that much for Ton, by this point. The very end for me was when Ton started jerking Chon around, taking him away from (who he thought was) his boyfriend. I was done. Even having a jerk of a dad couldn't explain why he was selfish, immature, beyond pervy and creepy, and a thoroughly repugnant character.
I might have come back if they'd gone with that and had Chon realize it before falling for Na, but since that doesn't seem to be the case, I'm done - and if I ever write a fanfic, that exactly what's going to happen. ;-)

I'm still watching it because I like Khaotung, Toptap, Mike, and Neo, but... i can't disagree with your review. I didn't like Pod in DBK and as Ton, it's almost unwatchable. I'll probably stick with it as there's not much else going on right now - this will probably never make it on my list of recommended series
Maybe it was Koreans offended by the presence of Chinese props, etc and China itself had nothing to do with it.
