Like... It absolutely made no sense. Who shows things like that on the news? They full on showed the tape!!. Who makes such mistakes?? And the only tape that was broadcasted just happened to be of one of the presenters?? I feel like there is more to this story than meets the eye. I feel like Chatfah probably had something to do with the broadcast cos how??

I actually agree with you. The Enigma is really attractive, very ethereal looking. And I love the way he switches from "weak and timid" Omega in front of his love interest to "Dominant" Enigma when he is with his friend or on his own. It's like it's not even the same person.

Like... I don't care what anybody says. I love this show with all it's flaws. JossGawin made me feel all the emotions. MarkTong's love story is one for the books, especially the emotional scenes. I gave it a 10/10 don't care what anybody says 😅

It's possible that what he was sold and the final product weren't the same thing. But at least he was able to get Gawin as his official partner as a result.

It's interesting how we have different opinions. I found a few scenes from today's episode to be some of the best from this show. Example being the bathtub scene. It felt really intimate and romantic. The way they touched each other, held unto each other, and talked about what they meant to each other, JossGawin portrayed how in love their characters are so authentically. Mond on the other hand, I couldn't take seriously 😬, especially when he shouted "This is not what we agreed on!!! " when Mark was trying to convince Tong to run away. I was startled and started laughing over the outburst. Maybe it's the direction, but whatever they were aiming for with that, it didn't work. On the show as a whole, I feel like plot wise, it's a mess but from time to time, the leads deliver good acting performances. I feel like JossGawin deserve a better script cos their chemistry is a 10/10, they just need a good script and director.

From what I've seen, lots of people view my stubborn as an enjoyable "trashy show" but see nothing spectacular. Instead, the thing I see people praising is the chemistry between the two leads and the fact that they are comfortable with each other during NC scenes. This shows that they are good at what they do and are able to key into their characters. The toxicity of their relationship is another story. As for STGD, I love fluffy shows, one of my fav shows running now is "boys in love" but for some reason, I find STGD quite boring even though the actors are doing their best. The chemistry is not doing it for me. So the issue is not the type of show. Playboyy was another NC packed show and I hated it and had to drop it. So I think with stubborn, it is not only about the NC scenes but the overall chemistry of the leads.

STGD is boring tbh. Yes this show has lots of NC scenes but even without the NC scenes the two leads have great chemistry I feel. I love moments when they are together just being with each other. Like when they eat together or drive home together. Small things like that. But while I love MarkOhm as actors, I feel like their chemistry is lacking in STGD, Imagine I was even rooting for JimmyOhm instead of MarkOhm in the show cos I feel Ohm had more chemistry with Jimmy in the show. I still watch it just cos I want to support MarkOhm but the storyline is quite boring.

There are actually people who have these crises. I know like 2 "total tops" who have said they would never bottom and had serious identity crises (probably due to internalized homophobia) when they finally found a partner they were willing to bottom for. So it's actually a real thing not just a bl thing.

While lots of people might disagree, I feel like I get why the push at the end had to happen unfortunately. It's the ultimate biblical ending where innocent children end up paying for the sins of their parents. Taehyun's mum had her last chance at possible redemption when he begged her to leave everything behind and start over someplace new. But she couldn't let go and ended up paying with her son's life. Both she and President Huh kept using their son as an excuse for the disgusting acts they kept committing and at the end that son whose future they were trying to protect ended up dead.

Actually it was an attempt he didn't actually go through with it. It will be clarified in subsequent episodes.

Nothing happened. Johnny didn't go through with the r*pe. However, Johnny is a disgusting character and I hope the show tackles the issue regarding the attempt better than the anime and Manga.

Nothing actually happened based on the anime and Manga. He tried but didn't go through with it cos Akin called Jin's name and he felt "offended". That doesn't discount the seriousness of what he tried to do though. Cos it was a r*ape attempt.

I loved the first episode, mick especially took me by surprise. He is a gifted actor.

I've loved Boom since "Chains of heart". That plot was questionable to be honest 😅 but you couldn't tell me nothing cos of Boom. I didn't know I could admire him more than I already did and then this drama comes along 👏👏👏. What an Actor!!

I've been hoping for adaptations of the novels you mentioned. But my worry is, the Chinese industry has perfected the art of xianxia and wuxia dramas and I worry if done elsewhere, will the quality be up to par? Even the way the actors fight in these dramas, the Chinese actors are phenomenal in those roles and take their martial arts training seriously. I love Thai dramas, but in terms of quality, I feel the Chinese dramas are better in general.

This show is a Manga adaptation and we all know that bl Manga's are not famous for being realistic. I don't really see the big deal, it's an iconic scene amongst the Manga fans and the actors held their own.

I agree with you. I love the adaptation so far. They have kept the essence of the story while reducing the toxic elements in the Manga and Anime.Hope they keep it that way.

You are welcome 😊.

They were simply staying true to the Manga. That scene is famous among the Manga fans.

That's standard for a lot of older Japanese bls unfortunately. Lots of dubious consent themes going on.

I think they were just trying to stay true to the source material.
