I think the air quality in Thailand must be a lot worse than in the UK. And yes, it was very menthol-y. That being said I don't buy their snacks but if I went to Thailand I would have to try pink milk and that yellow and purple drink they're always drinking on GMMTV shows. And seaweed crisps.

I tried soju after watching way too many KDramas. It was the best thing of everything I've seen on these drams :P

yeah it's fun to spot it. I even bought black inhaler once because I wanted to see what the fuss was about after seeing it on bad buddy.

I also like how they gave us the cat story line for the cat food PP. It's innovative :D

ok this would have worked if it was shorter. Like maybe 8 or 10 episodes. They're struggling to pad scenes out with flashbacks already.

ok so the Euro Cake product placement was hilarious to me. One of their better ones. Like, sneak me some fruit or something !

Mudmee has NO loyalty to Atom at all. Nah, she should have suffered in group F tents with him :D

yeah this will come back to bite them in the butt

Also Pinoy humour is an acquired taste. I didn't laugh as much as I should have done

OG Sec Kim is a cornerstone drama for many KDrama fans especially those of us who were into it pre pandemic. This should have built on that legacy and it didn't unfortunately.

It really did have potential but, like a lot of series, it suffers from that 'let's bring in new writers to shake it up' syndrome . So annoying as an adaptation shouldn't have to veer too far from the OG so should be less problematic

by the way I commented on your comment on Love on a Shoestring. Small world. I'm also into BL so that's where I'm usually lurking :D

the writers went too rogue on the characters for me. Like, Sir Underlip is not a redeemable character in the SK version and we all accepted that but in this one you had a villainous looking actor delivering lines where we are meant to forgive him??!? Still a no from me. And I didn't like the mum in this one anymore than I did the first but here they made her seem like a lovable princess who just loves her son so much!

As for Brandon, they made him more awkward than he needed to be. I struggled to find him sexy. Hard to compete with Park Seo Joon but, yeah hard to make the love work at times. He steps up when they get physical though ;)

but remember there were more failed attempts due to VC's trauma based issues so it's worth watching (on speed) to get through to that bit. See? This is why one shouldn't spoiler :D :D

first kiss is ep 25 - post the event . So the equivalent of SK ep 8

Yeah that's what happened to all of us. It's different when you are watching it 3 times a week and only for 29 minutes at a time though

Initially there were only meant to be 30 odd episodes but then they increased it to 42 and finally 40. It never really flowed the same. I also didn't like some of the additions. Like her family added very little and the extra romantic partners didn't do anything for me. So I say watch it on speed and get through this to the good parts ;)

ep 8 - I thought they would name it the Baylan Nalundasan Society or the Mermaids Club

If you want to get some of the romantic and emotional nuance of this series then best watch on VIKI as the others have butchered the subtitles in places and it feels so much flatter. Just a hint!

watch it on speed if you're not up for a very slow burn and very dark shots . Chemistry is good and there are some really heartfelt moments and good acting from Main Couple

ep 7 - I knew Lili was going to mess this up for herself

are you the naija woman that's constantly posting BL stuff on insta?
Lily is intersex
