I agree. Maybe in Season 2 we will get a more hopeful perspective. Unfortunately the high rating this received…
Thank you for sharing. I will probably skip season 2 in that case. I have taught in inner city schools where what we have seen is an everyday occurrence. I still am in awe of how well the actors captured the raw physical violence bought on by the sheer need to survive and obtain some form of validation as a human being.
for me the fact this turned into just a violent fight drama did not even make sense with the first half given…
I agree. Maybe in Season 2 we will get a more hopeful perspective. Unfortunately the high rating this received probably doesn’t bode well for those looking for something less dark.
How beautiful…I am actually smiling…this episode made me think of the last time I spoke to my husband…so much joy and happiness in that moment….and less than an hour later he was gone…oh the tears and sadness of not having him physically here but the comfort in knowing that he is watching over me from above and the sweet memories of knowing that I was truly loved. It may seem silly to some but this series has really touched me….lol… and I don’t even like animals especially cats but I adore Choco and Milk. Kudos to these four talented actors for making me believe in fairy tales once again. This definitely goes on my rewatch list.
I just finished binge watching this series and it is certainly not for the faint hearted. I applaud the production team. They portrayed the horrors of a bullying culture but never lost sight of their actual goal which is to entertain and make money. In the real world our three main characters would not have survived. At least one would have ended up dead. Looks like there will be a season 2 and since all three are listed as main characters I expect them to be older and even more fierce. The acting is off the chain. The bromance continues.
While I can appreciate the effort put into thIs I can tell from the first episode that this is just not my cup of tea. Even without reading the spoilers I can see where this is headed. Two is company, three is a train wreck waiting to happen. I’m dropping but I won’t give it a rating. I don’t believe in giving low ratings just because I don’t agree with the storyline or the ending. This doesn’t really feel like a bl which I’m sure is intentional. I’m a KinnPorsche. Old Fashion Cupcake kind of girl. Take care and be safe.
This is absolutely the best. Makes me feel good being poor and my mother’s only child. What concerns me now is what the family does to Jin Do Joon. Looks like he comes back only to be killed again. Every week my blood pressure goes higher and higher. Love it!
“Until you find someone who can take better care of you.” “Until you get bored of me.” Omg. These words.…
Oh thank you for this analysis. You have validated my exact feelings. I too like to be entertained and that first scene when Win and Prem had sex was hot and may have been misleading to some. But this series makes me go back to those late teens and early twenties when feelings and actions were all over the place. How will this end? I don’t have a clue at this point. Maybe someone who read the book can spoil it for me. I am just so proud of Prem and Boun. With each project they are growing. They are still young. They still have a lot to learn as do all these young actors and actresses. I hope they don’t listen to me or any naysayers. I hope they just keep pushing and moving forward.
Tbh I've been waiting for this series for ages. After UWMA I've read the unofficial translation for Hemp Rope…
Thank you. You make some good points. I like the three brothers too. I don’t think we really consider how much our behaviors can be impacted by our family dynamics.
Win and Team hit all the right buttons…loving these two more and more. I personally like the way the relationship is progressing. It may seem slow but I like that they both have these moments when they pull back . That seems more realistic to me. The second couple is growing on me. We also see what family issues Win has to deal with also.
People should be allowed to live their own truth, whatever it is. I applaud Mean and I base my evaluation of his projects on the quality and substance of his performance.I have watched him in at least two other projects before this one. He was really good in each one. One was a bl and one was not. In each one there was at least one character that was gay. In one there is an actor who has played in BLs but in this one his character is straight. If you pay attention bl actors are branching out and playing in lakorns and other genres. They are actors and should not be afraid to voice their opinions. I look at an actor like Mew who has currently acknowledged he has a lover but for fear of repercussions from his fans has not disclosed publicly who she or he is. To me that is outrageous. Again, I have mixed feelings about Remember Me. There are some really good moments so far. The Em character is the most upsetting to me but the actor is doing a good job if the intent was to make his character insensitive and self serving . I hope at least he and Name are friends at the end. Few people actually end up with their first crush in my opinion. Anyway that’s my rant for today. Take care and be safe.
I mean all authentic and good BL keeps getting 7.4-7.6 ratings. Whats wrong with people?It is truly made with…
I agree . I respect Mean and I wish him the best. He is really talented and I feel he has a bright future ahead. There are a lot of serious messages in this bl. It reminds us that life is full of highs and lows…
Lol…when I was a senior in high school my friends started playing with the Ouija board just like in the series. So fun …we were serious too until my dad found out and started talking about conjuring up ghosts and the evils of dealing with the occult. Lol… I am so having flashbacks. Can’t wait to see what happens next. I like that BLs are exploring other themes.
I am loving this. It’s good to see Ohm and Fluke playing roles involving such intrigue. Maybe I like it because I’m one of those people whose dreams can be so weird they seem real. I like seeing Ohm in a role where he’s a baddie. So far this is fun to watch.
I read something that made a comment in reference to this series and I could not remember having watched it. So I decided to watch it. Sure enough I had watched it before and had put it out of my mind. I immediately recognized three of my favorite actors from The Eclipse which I love. I also found this series interesting and entertaining until the Bam character was introduced. And then I realized that’s why I did not put this on my rewatch list. Seems like when trying to create drama or fill up space the writers throw in a female to create problems for the couple. On top of that after what she did it was swept under the rug and she gets a boyfriend at the end…made no sense. Could have left her out and had eight or nine episodes instead of twelve. With that said I do recommend this series. Overall it was entertaining.
I agree with your analysis. We are not even halfway through the series. What I love aboutKdramas is thereare so…
I get you. Sometimes I have gotten so pissed off at how a character was written I just have to have something. I generally also have a problem with how female characters are written. Either they are portrayed as dumb as rocks or the wicked witch from the east. Lol. That’s also why I generally enjoy this site. We can voice our opinion without being personally attacked. I’ll be interested in your analysis after a few more episodes. Take care.
I really liked the first three episodes, so amazing! Ep 4 and 5 were also good but ep6 I couldn't finish for three…
I am a big fan of Son Joong Ki and I absolutely loved Vincenzo. None of the villains, including Vincenzo was left unscathed. Proper justice was served on the worst two. There was no insipid romance thrown in needlessly like what appears to be happening in Reborn Rich. I hope I’m wrong and that the story gets back on the right track. Or maybe after Vincenzo my expectations are just too high. I will try to hang in there.
