I just started watching this and finally we dont waste 90% of the episodes watching the cheating husband and mistress basking in bliss while the wife is portrayed as the poor, battered , love sick pawn. I love a strong woman who uses her head and not her heart. Yes, she has been hurt but she reclaims her self respect and walks out with her head held high and some money too! I know it is not going to be easy but I am riding this train until the end.
I watched the movie version and it took me back to when my aunt was the desk clerk in a building that was in the gay district. This movie captured the pain and angst as well as the day to day reality of life as a homosexual. She often spoke of the public fights and jealous rantings that was a just a part of the life. It is what it is. This is definitely not the standard bl. It is more like Light and Long Time No See. Dark and gritty.
Can you imagine having the nerve to go away to do your own thing, decide to come back, find your ex in bed with a man and you still say you expected the person to take you back and you still want him back!!!! Of all the scenes I thought that was the craziest! Still, I am looking forward to next week.
This was such a heart wrenching and heartwarming episode. Every gesture, every glance, every touch felt so natural and sincere. Not only do I love our main couple but the second couple is like the icing on the cake. And the reaction of the parents is priceless! I cant believe we are coming to the end.
I am still so possessive of Tua. I really dont want to see him get hurt but I am enjoying the role each of the actors are playing. I especially love seeing Boom play the role of a spiteful son and rejected lover. Living in the shadow of his mom makes him very conflicted. I see lots of drama and heartache in the next episodes.
This may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I am enjoying it. It really is very realistic and this last episode hit me hard. My best friend passed away from cancer. Like Sky she did everything right. She worked her way through college. She didnt drink or smoke. She was a beautiful and kind person. She had her yearly medical check ups. When she called to deliver the news I sobbed. She was already stage 4. I hope Sky survives. I also have a young cousin who is seeing a therapist. Things we find easy poses a real challenge for her. There has always been a stigma attached to therapy in my culture so I am happy this is being addressed. Dindin and Tawan also have their individual issues. There are some real issues left to be resolved. I just want a happy ending for each couple.
I just finished it and I loved! It stayed with the main storyline of revenge and redemption. At the end there is no pie in the sky illusion…..get rid of one corrupt entity and another just steps in to take its place. But still the fight for justice continues. I also like how the wife was treated in his second life. So glad there was no love triangle thrown in. I usually find this to be intrusive. I do like how the friends navigated toward each other and we seem to have potentially two couples. That was cute. Also, the set up for a second season is in place. We dont actually see Kang executed. We see Baek seeming to assume Kang’s former spot in the psuedo government. Yoo Se is in law school. More importantly Ji Sung and his team are all intact. It goes on my rewatch list. 8.5/10 for me.
What a true gem. There is an underlying deep message about the challenges of life and how unexpected curve balls can disrupt a person’s life in ways we cannot fathom. It is a love story that survived amidst great pain and sorrow. But there is a not so subtle message about the reality of being in an industry fraught with overzealous and mentally unstable fans. Actually I dont consider these to be true fans. We read about them on a regular basis and there is a real concern for the mental and physical well being of artists who are just doing their jobs. I love love loved our mls. The scenes at the end were beautiful. This goes on my rewatch list.
Well it is over. I admit Fort and Peat were my only reasons for hanging in there. They are always entertaining and fun to watch. From the looks of the very last scene there could possible be a sequel. Bring it on!
I just finished watching. I am an anti- gun advocate. This series just reenforced my reasons why. The message was loud and clear. I would love to see Kim Nam and Kim Joung together in another series. They were awesome. No way a villain is supposed to be that fine. As much as I hate him I still wanted him to live.
I am half way through this series and although I do not advocate violence I do understand the overall message. We all have triggers. Thankfully, most of us have been able to restrain ourselves. I grew up in an environment where literally every one had a gun. They were mostly restricted to hunting but also used for self defense. But I saw what could happen if triggered. My oldest son was the victim of bullying. Of course we had no idea. Fortunately, I observed my son acting very fidgety when his younger brother started playing around an old box. He had hidden the gun in the box. It was his grandmother’s gun. She thought she had hid it. My son had been pushed to his limit. Shortly afterwards we moved into our new house and he transferred schools. I tell people not to underestimate anyone. Of course this series takes it to a whole nother level. We all have wondered how come it is so easy to get high power weapons. This series addresses that and does not hold back on the whole sordid underworld and deadly consequences. It is not just the criminals that are impacted. Actually society can deal with the bad guys killing each other. But we see old people, students, the marginalized also being impacted. It is that element that I find the most intriguing and realistic and scary. This is fiction but somewhere this is just fiction imitating real life.
A perfectly wonderful ending. Love the song Goodbye My Love…This series captured the essence of love. I dont even like cats but it reminded me of my godfather. He adored cats. He took in stray cats. His wife and I tried our best to keep them from coming in the house. Of course my godfather had his favorite and she was always in his lap or perched on the tv blocking my view. As much as I hate to admit it I enjoyed the whole cat backdrop to the developing love story. The cast was outstanding. My favorite guys. Khao and First never disappoint! JJ always adds that extra touch. Seeing Great made my heart flutter. I just cant believe this is the last time I will see Winny and Satang together again. But when I think of Krist and Singto I know anything is possible. This goes on my rewatch list for sure.
