Island Queen

They stayed living together for several months and slept together. They were good friends and company. But not not passionately in love.

They had to tone it down for viewing audience. The initial fight at their apartment was a lot worse. To the point that they were truly hurt and the apartment destroyed. They only stopped when the neighbors came and called police, who took them straight to the hospital. When Yok finally gets through to Ing at the Club and the escort Awnser’s Ing’s phone. Yok fights his way in. Against like 6 security guards. As you saw, Ing provoke’s him to humiliate him and Yok goes Nuclear kissing him while telling him that he will be Ing’s only man then he screws him .
Ing in this scene was pretty drunk so Yok proceeded to take him to a clean room and tuck him in. Wait until he was in a deep sleep and left. Those were the 2 big emotional detonators of this episode. And there’s more coming!

Agreed, it’s not the worst story.But way too diluted.

The episodes are too short and far in between. They killed it due to poor marketing. The story would’ve carried more “punch” if told all at once. 🤷‍♀️

There are many spoilers. Ask away.

SPOILER 🚨🚨🚨
If you get a chance to read the novel, do it. It explains a lot of what’s going on in the background. It’s also helped me understand the time line much better.
Like at this point Ing tries to fool himself that he hated Yok, he’s truly disgusted by his behavior. He’s so hurt that he’ll be acting like a woman scorned.”Hell has no fury”🔥🔥
There’s much more that’s going to go down. Hell! It’s going to be a fun ride!
I do admit, not liking some of the ending threads in the novel, but what a ride!🤭

The actors are top notch. The production is a bit over the top. It’s a Disney production. The plot is pretty standard it would actually be a tad boring, if we didn’t have that purple eyed bird looking for his new master, the empress. That is the cuteness that keeps me coming back. I hope they focus more on them and not the rest of the drudgery.

I know, Ing will walk around with a tear in his heart but his anger and pride will see him through.(let’s not forget Junior)
Yok will cry harder and longer.
What a bitter lesson for someone so young.
One more week to see all the chips fall. fasten your seat belts.😢🤭😉

I was just thinking the same.

It’s great having 10 episodes left. I’m wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a time gap in those episodes. Yok simply needs to grow up. Hopefully leave the neighborhood for a while. Only stepping away, will he realize his horrid mistake. (He’s so young)
He’s also been a fool up to now.
Only becoming his own man. Comfortable in his skin. Waiting wisely and prudently will there ever be a possibility of Ing taking him back.

Everyone ok? Liked Seeing Itt finally taking off his mask.
Can’t wait for the train wreck to finnish.

I suggest you look away from the AI. I re-watched all episodes in one go. This made me realize how sexy and detail oriented this series’s is. From the looks, moles, adam’s apple, the child with the chaffed talon. It’s beautifully detailed. I also found cute how from the very beginning Zhao Cheng was so enamored of Wan. Also, very cute were his jealousy and possessiveness.
So knowing that I can choose what I want to focus on, I truly enjoyed episodes 1-10.

I waited 2 weeks to be able to detach emotionally from the plot and see it objectively. This series’s is a masterpiece. The acting, production and cinematography are top notch.
The ending was very appropriate and elegant. Because those were those times.
Fifteen to twenty million died. Directly or indirectly. There’s still debate over these figures. Some will never be known.
So I feel that trying to knock the rating because of the ending, might be a little frivolous.
I’ve taken this series’s to learn more about the history of the region.
I have various critiques about the production as anyone.
But I respect and appreciate the open ending. I highly recommend it.

Thank you! I have enough stress with Fool for Love!🤭😂😂😂

The dynamic of power was finally balanced. Less stressful relationship.

I got the assignment.
The only way Seon U was going to break through to Do Jin was giving him his own medicine.
Taking away his power to control him. Balancing power as we saw at the end.
Sex is a very powerful weapon psychologically in a relationship .
Having sex with 2 partners at the same time specially being a top, In defiance of your controlling partner empowering.
He completely crushed the old dynamic. Warning him in the last episode, that it wasn’t bad seeing both acting anxious about him in bed. I bet Do Jin never pulled that crap again!
I believe that’s the message of this series’s.
This is an adult psychological 5 episode viñette into a gay relationship. Well done.

.05 hours of cryptic plot twists is not doing it for me. Will pause and wait for it to drop completely. Here for Chen Rui!

It’s an easy going and sweet production. Don’t expect anything too deep or melodramatic.
Great styling, the leads carried it well. Something too watch when you get home tired and dont want to engage in anything too complicated. I liked it.

Thanks!

I can’t help feeling creeped out by this show like from episode 16 on.
Now I’m on 27. Many are suggesting I stop on 30, might do that.
I never felt she truly fell in love with him. Hopefully some light will shine through for this in a convincing way soon. Because my interest has been truly diminished, in the main leads.
The story overall has saved the day. Disappointed because I love them as actors but their characters are not showing change through emotional growth.
