Yes Sanctimonious
Witch or Bitch…whatever…haven’t
liked her from the
beginning but I
do see how she fits
into the hands of these she devils. Being touted as the first female
prosecutor clouded her judgement. She
didn’t think another female would use her as
a pawn. Welcome
to the real world!

Vincenzo was 20. I could have had 20 for this one only if they stayed on line with the initial storyline and not muddy the waters with a needless romance or useless female interest.

I can’t be too mad at her. When I think about my
introduction into the management world I can empathize
with her. As a neophyte you just can’t believe how manipulative and two faced people can be. It took me a few years but I learned and came out better and stronger. I just hope she realizes her error before this family does more harm to
Do-Joon.

I’m with you. Nothing beats a good bromance…I’m thinking Killer/Healer and Black&White.

Kudos to you for a very succinct and insightful analysis.
That’s the beauty of this series…it
actually makes us
active participants
in each stage of
this thriller. We are
being drawn in with each scenario. Again, thank you.

Thank you for your kind words. I remember reading somewhere it is better to have loved than to not have loved at all.I think Koichi and Mitsuru understood that. I also see where the rating has gone up to 8.0 . Wonderful.

Beautifully stated. Thank you.

I would say yes and that is clearly from my personal perspective. This will be the fifth Christmas without my soulmate. And for me too he is still my number 1. I was the one he loved the most. I tell others who have lost a loved one it’s not something you get over…it’s something you get
through. This so
beautifully captured the various stages of grief. For each one that process is unique and there is no time table. What I loved about the ending is Mitsuru has moved on with his life. He acknowledges that a part of him may always be sad and we see him smile. He has that sweet
reassurance that for a while he knew what it was to be truly someone’s one and only. That is why even through my
own heartache I can still smile. That’s why for me this was the perfect ending. This will go on my rewatch list. The music, the acting, the editing and directing was right on point. In my opinion it is underrated. Take care and Happy
Holidays.

This is so well orchestrated! I had to look back to verify it was not a
Japanese project. It is so
invested in the visual nuances and every word
of dialogue is so welcoming. Every pause leaves you breathless. The contrast between Kim Jung and Han Tae is made
intentional obvious. Still he has had such a hold on Jung Woo I wonder if it’s
possible for Jung Woo to
break free. I certainly hope so. If Kim Jung and Jung Woo end up together it will be a real tragedy. I also feel it really deserves at least an 8.0 rating.

I agree with you on most points. Maybe why I have had a hard time watching is because it hits too close to home. It’s a reflection of what we see and hear about the bl industry every day.
I find myself looking at bl actors doing fan service and wondering how happy are they really. Hopefully this and similar series like this will bring about much needed changes in the industry. The actors did an awesome job.

I totally agree. It was so refreshing. Not even once did Yang waver. He was even willing to risk his life for his brother. Even at the end Thian’s mother had to acknowledge that Yang did what even she as his mother could not do.

You hit the nail on the head. I have just now begun to see how fickle( I really mean no offense) the bl
Viewer can be when it comes to rating a series.
If it doesn’t line up with what they want it automatically gets a low rating. That’s why I have started ignoring the ratings especially in the first three or four episodes.

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.

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.

Yes, he never disappoints. I really would love to see he , Jo In Sung and Kim Bum in a project together. They are my favorite Korean actors.

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!

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.
