They were more spring than actually summer, tbh.

I really just love how His Man has continued to decide against having hosts/commentators which I feel are completely unnecessary. They must be one of the very few (if any) Korean reality/variety/dating shows without commentators, yes?

What could've been with Jaeseung and Hwi. They're the proverbial couple we failed to protect. 🥹

What's your opinon on how much they edited out Yoo Ah In. I honestly think they didn't edit much out. And whatever they did remove, would not have made the show better or made the show any less of a mess. Probably would've made it even more of a mess, tbh.

Not a single story, save for Yoo Ah In's Yun Sang flying into the sky and punching the asteroid off of its path, would have any positive effect on the series. In fact, any other random plot thread involving Yun Sang would have just ended up being yet another underdeveloped, nonsensical story to tell alongside the other couple of similarly shallow stories.

Maybe he was going to throw the Malatov cocktails at the asteroid.

What confuses me is that the themes and stories they focus on (human trafficking, corruption, revenge) has nothing to do with the asteroid or the end of the world. Like, they could have told the same slow, convoluted story (even including the civil unrest aspect) without the countdown to asteroid day. Because, I don't know about anyone else, but I came into this series thinking it would be some kind of character-driven, but action-packed disaster/apocalypse epic. And it ended up being really anything but.

His Man 2 being so simple, yet so good is affecting my watching of Single's Inferno 3. That show just feels too contrived and forced now. Lol

Also love that His Man doesnt have commentator hosts. Lol

In the first season, their reactions felt more real and raw. Like they were watching the show at home. Now, their reactions feel scripted. Or at least, they are playing up to the camera more in the sense that they say things just to say things rather than give their honest, unfiltered reactions. Plus, yes the recapping the scene that just finished is hilariously unnecessary.

He and "A," the only one whose accusations had merit, have made peace with each other and have a positive and developing relationship now. That's what is most important.

What are some of the differences? One of things I'm reading often is that the webtoon was a bit more character-driven compared to the series.

Rapists? Would you like to name them?

And they replaced Ji Soo with Na In Woo for accusations that ended up not even true. And they look nothing alike either. Likeness has nothing to do with replacing an actor.

MDL comments section is as much a horrible cesspool as Twitter is. Maybe even worse. So many people thinking they are scholars reviewing television series.

Welcome to the typical kisskh comments section. You'll see lots of those hot takes lol

The rating is STILL above 8 because, I don't know, that's what people rated it. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean there's something wrong.

No, they didnt show anything else. Which made all they were saying about him BS. He was obviously the victim the entire time. Maybe that was intentional on the show's part. But that was definitely not the biggest source of mystery or tension in the story.

This is the first time I'll be watching a follow-up series for a BL pairing. Granted, the only other BL pairings I've ever watched are TayNew (who have only played the same characters in their projects together until Cherry Magic next year) and PleumChimon (who sadly never got a follow-up after My Dear Loser/Our Skyy).

So I am most intrigued in watching Pond and Phuwin go from FUTS which was as fluffy as fluff can be to Never Let Me Go which is definitely far more dramatic and heavy.

Their hot love making must've clouded her judgment for a moment. lol

This feels like a two-hour feature film that they ended up stretching out to fill the 4.5 hours runtime for the six episodes. A good premise. But the odd pacing removed any opportunity for more character development and depth. And for a story like this with potential discussions of mortality and discrimination alongside the usual corruption and conspiracy, I think a slowburn-type introspective treatment would've suit it better.

This ADAPTATION will be twice as long as the Japanese adaptation. (likely 12 hour-long episodes vs 12 half-hour episodes), so that alone implies there will be many differences. More of the manga will adapted. Different aspects of the story will be included, Original additions and twists will be included.

And again, Cherry Magic TH will not erase the Japanese series from the face of the Earth. Just like F4 didn't erase Meteor Garden (2018) which didn't erase Hana Yori Dango which didn't erase Boys Over Flowers which didn't erase Meteor Garden (2001) which didn't erase the manga.

Switch in Itazura na Kiss or Hana Kimi or Absolute Boyfriend or plenty other series adapted from other countries.
