AnotherSeason

I love autocorrect or my typo: *fake suave.

I try not to write super negative stuff about shows on here but this one did me in. I find it so not genuine.. It’s like the writers couldn’t find a legit way for them to get together so they made up this bizarre scenario that forces them on each other —and all that fake sauce, eek. I could go on and on about what I do not like about the characters but it’s not worth it. I’ll just say that the characters’ motivations, choices, and reactions do not ring true to me.

So makjang...reminding me of the old days.

JGS: If I get rid of IC, will you let go of Yi Seo?
Me: Buddy, please straighten out your priorities. Like, how many people will be out of a job man, come on.

Interesting. I cannot stand Yang Mi's stuff. I only watched Eternal Love because of the Dramafever snippets showing the leads' chemistry with each other. I saw a bit of depth from Yang Mi and so it's the only work of her's that I can tolerate.

I see your points and, like you, I would love to see more complex and diversified characters/settings as these stories become more mainstream. I'm so grateful for this path of progress though. Compare these Thai dramas to Sorn Ngao Ruk and Bai Mai Tee Plid Plew made for the broader more conservative Thai society and you may take my meaning.

I've been watching BL content for the past 8 years or so and I absolutely could not stand the way m/m relationships were shown to the audience (Frozen Flower for example). To me, it seemed that the creators just about always portrayed m/m relationships as torment and damnation both for the characters' internal and external worlds. I appreciate that these new BL shows come from an overall perspective of acceptance. The fact that we now have access to these kinds of stories in the dramaverse is a relief and that we have the privilege to question if these relationships and roles are healthy in the same way we might question other gender relationships/roles (say like the cold prince, candy, gender stereotypes, etc).

I'm a hetero female and I don't watch these stories as a fangirl. They are just another kind of story I'm glad to see on my screen. This is another POV.

Somehow a closeup of eyes only staring does not show affection in my eyes. I see it as an excuse to drag out the series or it's a really bad editing style.

Going by his reall age. He would have had to impregnate her mother when he was 16/17. Lol.

Is it me or is this drama edited to drag it out longer than it should be? Like a close up of the eyes closing, then the face with the eye closing. Everything seems slow-paced and dragged out and nothing really happens anyway as the script seems sparse.

Six episodes of wash, rinse, repeat, and flashbacks. I appears as if the storytelling wants to rival Netflix with a local spin.

I agree that the situation is bittersweet for her because she can't have her cake and eat it too. But her bottom line is that she wants to have a certain type of lifestyle and she has to make difficult choices to do so and live with the consequences. She's got grit. I still think her emotions toward Saeroyi are ambiguous and she doesn't make them clear - this I see more as a flaw because it's as if she is stringing him along.

Why do you think Soo Ah abandoned her morals? She always was willing to do what it takes to achieve success - not rock the boat. That is her moral standard. We may perceive it as a flaw but most people respond this way to make money and survive.

Thanks for the article. I wanted to check out the main lead's other works after Find Yourself. However, this story is absolutely ridiculous. Had to drop it after three episodes.

Major girl crush on this woman. SHe's stunning and talented.

The dumbest show on this side of the calendar.

Okay. I signed in to MDL after about a year's time to write on Baron Chen's page. The reason: every once in a while, I get these moments of "that guy is really hot", "he's got a big ego", and "he's such a bad boy" after I saw an interview he did (saw it a year ago and it obviously left a huge impression). I just wanted to give a shout-out to him here. Just before posting this, I checked him out online and realized that he is actually the son of a famous/infamous triad leader - now deceased.......... me in shock........ have I seriously been fangirling a real bad boy? (T^T) In any case, I still like his rogue-ish charisma.

They use the same estate as in Royal Family.
It seems that the K drama industry has lost a lot of their pool of okay actors to the military, or something else. The pool these days for talented young actors is pretty dry imho. The male lead here is a significantly weaker actor than the other actors in the show. Sigh. That's so disappointing. I also couldn't stand the lead in WWW (I didn't mind his performance in My Ajusshi but that is as far as I have seen of depth from him) and now he is in another show coming out, and don't get me started on the lead for Class of Lies ( I can count his range of expressions on one hand).

I think the situations would have made sense if they went down a darker road but instead it was very tame. I still love the execution - I thought it was really well done.

Take a chance to see this amazing drama if you are on the fence about. It's a great piece of storytelling. Really, the ending was okay but the journey was incredible. Every week, without fail, I would check it out before the subtitles came out. Props to Jasper and Puff Kuo for their delivery - which by extension means props to the directing. I'd been convinced of Jasper's capacity since six years ago and it's a pleasure to see him grow and Puff Kuo has matured so well as I can tell from her last two TV productions. Anywho, if you end up binge-watching this, let me know how it goes. I'm curious to see if the experience is as good as the weekly wait.

I love these two but somehow I don't want to get my hopes up. It's the vague teaser.
