Great use of subtle symbolism and cinematic repetition. Worth the watch if you appreciate darker and somewhat…
You are mistaken. The guy we see in the beginning of the movie is NOT Tae Joon but the ex of Won Gyu , the one who was beaten up with him that fateful night. Won Gyu met Tae Joon for the first time after he left his ex at the cafe. Won Gyu and Tae Joon got to know each other online, and agreed to meet for the first time tonight.
what part that was funny when then girls were crying from broken heart? That was sad part to watch
Because the writer/s made them seem so dense and stupid! Before Juno went to the hospital to ask Sun for a date, Pitch-Bank had confessed to her and Toktang that they are a couple and he literally said “and we are not the only ones” — referring to Sun-Sky! They still didn’t get that?? And they were so clueless when finally Sun-Sky confessed?? That is why that scene is hilarious. THEN, as if to add insult to injury, the writer/s made the girls cry — confirming that they were indeed stupid and clueless!!! So cruel of the writer/s to do this to Juno and Toktang’s characters. They could have at least made them a little smarter.
Golden Blood is making me laugh, not because of its comedy but because supposedly the father hired a bodyguard…
You’re so right about the maid thing. That’s what my initial reaction was, too, when Sun cooked for Sky. What, no maids??? Is that part of a bodyguard’s job?? 🤣 Yeah, so many cringy scenes and whiny acting from Sky, too. Poor Sun (Boat).
Cute lead actors. They’re both 21 now, so no more acting after this movie for both of them?? They’re both goodlooking and are capable actors, so what happened? 😩
Wait so did Sky hear a gunshot, pause, then decide to run up the stairs, trips over his own shadow and was basically…
Haha! That was an unintentionally hilarious scene. Made me chuckle, too. Add to that Sky's whiny delivery of lines -- which could have been powerful if delivered and directed properly. Script sucks, too.
So there’s a notebook. Of course! Another overused item. A convenient device for lazy writers. And what is a very personal item doing in another person (who just appeared from nowhere)? Why is it with this man?
It’s crying time again for Sky. Does he really need Sun to tell him VERBALLY his feelngs? Aren’t his actions enough, writers?? Sorry, not buying Sun’s crying scene again. Overacting.
Sky tells Bank that he loves Sun. Bank: “I know. And not only me.” Yes, Sky. The entire UNIVERSE knows what with all your drama and stuff. Duh.
The wheelchair scene. You’ve kissed and all, now you ask if Sun loves you?? Duh again.
Facing dad. Sky’s whiny plea. This is just a rehash of the previous “He’s a person not a pet” scene.
Bank-Pitch confesses to Juno and Toktang. And Pitch says “Other than us, there’s more” – referring to Sky-Sun. Next scene: Hospital room. Juno asks Sun for a date. WHAAAAAAT??? Is she THAT clueless and/or stupid?? And they’re really surprised??? Haha! Duh again. And the poor gurls leave empty handed. What were they thinking? Or rather, what was the WRITER of this series thinking?? Then we see the girls crying. Another unintentionally hilarious moment. Writers, why are you so cruel to the girls??? You could’ve at least made them SMART!!!
At this point, we still have 40 minutes more to go. And just one loose end: The father. Oh, and the girls’ acceptance.
I still don’t feel the chemistry between Sun and Sky.
Ok, it’s that character again (Shin), the “notebook bringer.” And he’s been ordered to GET RID OF SUN??!!! Whatda… ?? Haha!!!
So, this Shin who just earlier was very sympathetic to the lovers while he was giving Sky the notebook, suddenly turned into a heartless beast because of an order?? Are these human beings the writer put in this series??
So, Sun messaged Sky that “this is it. Understand your father, blah blah.” Yet, while fighting Shin, he says he’s not giving up Sky. WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT SUN TO DO, writers?? Give up or stay??
Bad acting galore from Sky (Gun). Bad directing, too.
Of course, father forgives. It was a TEST. Hahaha!!!
So, Sun is being sent abroad to study. Sky resists. Sun accepts the deal. Another whiny acting from Gun.
Just 25 minutes more of eyerolling.
“Can I check out your gun??” Hahaha!!!!
Sun-Sky kiss #4.
Another product placement. So we have to watch them brush their teeth and use the beauty products again. Sheez.
More cheesy moments and more mushy lines. More lovemaking.
More ugly crying from Sky.
FINISH IT ALREADY!!!!
SIX YEARS LATER….
More flashbacks.
Father-son talk. Yawn. Yawn. Yawn.
Reunion with friends. Why is Pitch’s face fully made up?? Haha!!!
Just 5 MINUTES left. Show up already, Sun!!!
What… more crying from Sky?? More flashbacks!!! UGH.
Finally, after EIGHT EFFIN HOURS, we reach the end that we knew all along will be.
Why does Sun look like Bank now? Oh… it’s the hair!!!
Now, can we please have a SUN-BANK series?? Send Sky back to the States. Give him a one-way ticket!!!
HAHAHA!!!
My rating: 6.0 / 10
But because of Sun (actor Boat), I’ll give an extra half point, so…
Double date?? What the eff is this, Sky?? You’re using the girls and leading them on again?? Both Sky the character and Gun the actor are irritating now.Now I’m wishing he gets kidnapped and taken away by the bad guys! Haha!!!
Sky-Sun Kiss #3.
So this is where the bad guys kidnap Sky – so Sun can rescue him. Of course, we knew it’s gonna happen right from the start. It’s THAT predictable! Haha!
So, when henchmen go to kill, they use knives now?? Haha! They can’t afford guns??
Like in the first episode, the fight scenes are funny and looks staged and choreographed. You can actually fast forward and won’t miss much.
HEAD BAD GUY TO SKY: “You retard! What a mouth you have!” And I died laughing!!!
At the hospital… Another melodrama scene from Sky while talking to his father. Another overacted scene.
When doing angry scenes, actor Gun makes faces that looks rather funny. In contrast, angry acting from say, Edward Chen and Tseng Jing-hua (both from YOUR NAME ENGRAVED HEREIN) are very effective and moving. Just saying.
Now I just remember who Gun looks like: the animated version of MULAN. Go check it out!
NEXT: The finale. The subtitled copy should be available 2 hours from now. So, just a little more waiting. Why is Juno still in the picture?? Haha!
Ok, but what’s with all the drama AFTER those kisses?? Why the sudden animosity? Why the angry voices/tone?? Why all the melodrama, writers?? You really have to ruin those beautiful moments?? I don’t understand. Forced conflict, if you ask me, so they can have crying scenes. Ugh.
Why do BL characters have to create problems where there’s really none??
And in this episode, it’s TWO conflicts between TWO pairs. AT THE SAME TIME. Ugh again.
Now Sky is leading Toktang on by sitting beside her in the bus going back.
They’re back to school and still not talking. Sky (actor Gun) is overacting. Director’s fault?
Here’s my take: any series that relies too much on FLASHBACKS is NOT a well-written series. This one has TONS of flashbacks in it.
SKY: “I want to change my bodyguard. I don’t want you anymore!” Huh? Then that ugly crying again. Whyyyy??? This is so cringy it’s laughable. Throw in all theBL tropes in here!!! Haha!!
EPISODE 5. Best moment here is Sun dancing drunk – until Sky took him away. Then that first kiss happened – very short though. More like a peck. I still don’t see any spark. Sorry.
The girls are quite dense. They’re still hoping to get those guys who are obviously into each other. And they (the girls) are being used by Sun/Sky to make each other jealous. Now the girls believe THEY are liked by Sun and Sky. Really, writers???
Product placements are far from subtle in this series. Lots of product close-ups!
Sun’s song at the campfire. Is that really HIS voice? If so, then he’s really good!
Stargazing. Reminds me of another series I just finished: THE MOMENT.
End of Episode 5. So when are we getting the bad guys to do some harm to Sky so that Sun can rescue him? Haha!!
i cant tell if i'm settling for pitch/bank but lowkey they are that cute lmao the show is messy but since they…
Yeah, Pitch-Bank has more chemistry than Sun-Sky. I'm in for the ride. Watching Episode 5 now. Poor girls. They're being used by Sun / Sky to make each other jealous. Hope they realize that soon. =(
Ep 4. What I don’t get is this: Why would the father hide from his son that he is in danger because he (the father) turned down an illegal drug business?? The logical thing to do is to inform your son so he can take care of himself and be aware of potential dangers! Good thing Sun told Sky.
Sun’s intense fear of fireworks (or fireworks/gun sound) reminds one of ITSAY (the scene where Oh-aew and Teh first met as kids).
You know when a series manipulates scenes just to titillate the audience (I’m talking about disposable scenes), then you roll your eyes a lot. Especially when the scenes ridiculously written or done.
Pitch and Bank. Yeah, ok. Shippable. It’s just that Pitch’s character shift is quite fast – therefore unbelievable.
8 HOURS!!! I have already done half. Okay, with lots of fast forwarding, I must admit, but still… not really QUALITY time of watching.
So, we are going on a trip with the entire cast. Like most series have done before. I still don’t feel the chemistry between Sun and Sky.
Ep. 2 Sun is stabbed and the brat Sky expects him to prepare dinner for him?? What kind of logic is that, writer/s??? Oh… Just another contrived device so that Sky will enter Sun’s room!
And there’s that close face-to-face talking again. Why do BLs always do this? Do people really talk THAT close to each other?
Ep 3. So, Sun’s entire life is dedicated to serving his young master. What is more UNREALISTIC than that, writer/s?? He is NOT A HUMAN BEING, he is a ROBOT! This is NOT A BL, this is a FAIRY TALE!!!
So, you’re saying that Sun was adopted since he was a kid by Sky’s dad – but the two haven’t seen each other until now?? How unrealistic is that!! And to think Sun gives his blood regularly to Sky!
Really? A romantic lunch date with violins and singing? Are they lovers already?? Another unrealistic, overdone and illogical scene. Another contrived plot so Sky can kiss (or resuscitate) the drowned Sun.
Ok, and that after-lunch violence? RIDICULOUS!!! Unintentionally funny.
And, sorry, can’t feel the chemistry even after all those contrived scenes. Boat deserves a better partner in this series.
The question is: Did Sun’s gun explode?
So there’s a notebook. Of course! Another overused item. A convenient device for lazy writers. And what is a very personal item doing in another person (who just appeared from nowhere)? Why is it with this man?
It’s crying time again for Sky. Does he really need Sun to tell him VERBALLY his feelngs? Aren’t his actions enough, writers?? Sorry, not buying Sun’s crying scene again. Overacting.
Sky tells Bank that he loves Sun. Bank: “I know. And not only me.” Yes, Sky. The entire UNIVERSE knows what with all your drama and stuff. Duh.
