apathy

ohhh 8am est? that’s my time zone so that’s helpful thanks

china standard time?

i know the eps air monday and tuesday but what time of day?

yeah i wouldn’t say they’re good either. they’re passable

right???? it’s like casting struck gold with boatoat and stopped caring after that tbh. like they’re not bad actors but they have zero chemistry and they’re poorly developed storyline doesn’t help

same, i fast forward over tai and champ at this point ngl

i stg tai and champ just come on screen to fuck and stare at eo longlingly a bit then dip 😭

you know what i went into this ep worried that they wouldn’t make me feel any sympathy for sorn, that it wouldn’t feel like enough payback for everything that he’s done (or not done) but by like 18 minutes in i’m starting to feel really bad like he looks so unwell. he looks like a zombie skulking around that factory. frankly he looks like shit and the fact that just seeing jun was enough to inject a little bit of life into his eyes made me feel so bad for him….i mean like he deserves it but still awww.

also so penny is HR????? so thats why everyone is getting bent over during work hours with no issue 😭😭. i mean not like she can send out hr violation notices when she’s getting gobbled up on her desk i 😭

also june scares me so bad. when she pointed at penny and said « we need to talk » i jumped LMAO

i was wondering about that but i guess he’s careful not to break skin?

dmd really struggles with pacing imo. there’s a lot of good elements to this story but i think they drag out or speed over the wrong things. also omg not ramil and paytai being f r e kay 😭bdsm isn’t really my thing but they’re making it my thing idk

agree. sometimes i feel like im watching one long commercial

yea, irritating though bcs it would have been really easy to just make it chi cheng letting that guy get beat up instead of SA’ed. it would have still shown him as ruthless without being as unforgivable and horrifying imo

took a break from this bcs i was super disturbed by the gang rape scene, esp him calling out for help as chi cheng just walks away, but i decided to give it another chance since the edits i’ve seen on tiktok looked good, and tbh im liking it so far. suo wei is really cute. i don’t mind toxicity, violence, or a little dubcon but i hope that’s the last of scenes going thatt far.

boatoat answered some questions about the series and gave non-book readers some missing context: https://youtu.be/dvuCg7fFM4U

if you mean during sex, no there are definitely times where i’m like SLOW DOWN. he’s always just like…slamming in there and the hickies and bites are a lot 😭 im hoping we get slow gentle romantic sex after they reconcile ngl

tbf i have a shit attention span so it doesn’t take much for me to get distracted 😭

i forgot that it’s not uncommon for chinese dramas to dub. its distracting me bad

came here to say the same. they lost me at that tbh

maybe he would have regretted having sex with franz, fair enough. he was drunk, and it was his first time. if i were jun’s friend, i’d probably have stopped him myself. if that had been sorn’s reasoning for stopping jun, i would be totally on board. but it wasn’t lol. it wasn’t out of concern that jun would regret it; it was pure jealousy so was pretty self-serving. i’m not gonna praise him for it, especially since he acts so crazily jealous without any right a bunch of other times.

not even hating on him or anything. i want them to end up together, but a lot of the shit sorn did was selfish, even if his trauma sheds some light on why.

ah when you look at his trauma as more so a betrayal of trust than a fear of being falsely labelled as a predator again his actions make a lot more sense. thank you!
