I am loving this so much! If only Dream would tone it down a notch. I am trying so hard to like the character. The visuals with Dream and Night look so good. Love the height difference. Anyway I am really into this series. The pieces of the puzzle are slowly unraveling. The addition of the professor adds another dimension. It just keeps getting better and better. I really think the rating should be higher.
Another awesome episode. I am glad all the pieces are being handled so decisively involving the scandal. I still cant wait until Dokgo’s wife finds out the truth. He and his secretary are really hilarious. His wife is going to tear him to shreds. This is off the trail but she is one classy dresser. I love her outfits. That said I know there is a deeper reason for how dogmatic she is about her daughter. I dont like it but I know it has something to do with that younger brother. As far as the dancer and the hairdresser at this point I feel like they deserve each other. One is a punk and the other is a thirsty overbearing shrew . They both are pathetic. I also have little empathy for the baby’s mother. I see her being a continued thorn in his side. And where is her fiance? Is she just a trophy wife ? Anyway the next episode looks like fun. The best parts are with the CEO and the sister-in-law.
Here's the thing I dislike about BL fans the most: the criticism directed at any series that somehow falls outside…
You have voiced your opinion and I respect that but I do not think it is rubbish if others voice their feelings of discontent with any aspect of a series as long as the comments are not directed at the actors or the persons voicing their opinion. That is why I support this forum. Writers and those involved in the production of bl series and for that matter any drama series need to know what is on the minds of their viewers. They need to know the good, the bad and the ugly. Again, I emphasize as long as it is about the storyline and/or the way the characters, etc are depicted. Even the most renowned writers have had their works criticized. I consider myself a bl junkie/fan. I have literally watched over 100 bls within the past five years. Some like this one I chose to drop. That does not make me a bad person. Maybe I will give it another try. Right now I dont think so. I highly doubt if my doing so will affect the bl world. There are enough supporters who do like it and that is ok with me. By the way I gave the series a high rating based on the episodes I did watch. My ratings were based on the performances of the actors, the music, overall production. I did not change my rating just because it took a direction that I disagreed with and personally did not find entertaining. I have looked at a number of bls that included hetero couples that I enjoyed. This was just not one of them. Maybe when it is over I will revisit it. Hopefully, I did not take up too much of your time. Take care.
I am going to make this short and sweet just like this series. 40 episodes with 3 minutes each made this an ideal bl series to binge watch which is what I did. After Top Form I just needed something whimsical and easy. I actually liked the mls . I thought they had their cute moments. Would I put it on my rewatch list. Yes, but only on the rainy day , nothing better to do day. I give it a 7.5 but the 7.1 seems fair. Take care.
you people need to stop shutting people up for speaking what's on their minds about how this show isn't doing…
I must applaud you for your candid and insightful comment. Largely due to what you pointed out is part of the reason I just cannot bring myself to continue watching. Sorry, but after reading about the original manhwa I wish they had not added the straight couple. Sounds like someone caved to the demands of certain people who felt adding a straight element would be more profitable. From a business perspective maybe they were right but I feel they missed an even greater opportunity to highlight the beauty and the complexities of being young and gay.
Personally I dont understand the rating being so low. The acting, the storyline, the chemistry between the mls is really impressive and has me wanting more. How they started, broke up and how they will finally end up is intriguing to me. I even love the music. It reminds me of how messy relationships can be due to mixed signals and lack of communication. People always say all you needed to do was talk but from personal experience that is sometimes easier said than done. I know people who broke up, got back together and even had a child only to break up again. At this point it is too early to tell how this will end but I intend to stay and find out.
well so what if he is not your type. Maybe that's a good thing. Something new.
Lol…you sound like my children. I must add it is not just him. I am really a piece of work. My late husband was my knight in shining armor. My heart still belongs to only him. I am really really ok but I am happy when others find comfort and joy with a new partner. That is one reason I am enjoying this series so much.
I am loving this! My kind of thriller….once a psychopath always a psychopath….betrayal, greed, self loathing, jealousy, deceit….it is all inclusive. Every episode brings in a new revelation. It gets weirder and weirder. No surprise with the mistress. It is one of those where you are yelling at the screen you about to get killed witch… this is your last romp in the sack. So good!
Episode 22 was one of the best. Everyone got in the action and I loved it. The focus was on the main couple which was so fun watching. Things are heating up between the professor and Se Ri. I am so glad she is being so honest about her feelings. I got a kick out of seeing the look on Suk Gwang’s mother’s face when Dong paid that $5000. Next week is going to be explosive. I cant wait to see how Tak’s wife is going to react. If Su Gang loses his new job over this Tak will have more than Suk Gwang to deal with. This is also the first week I did not dislike the hairdresser.
If you like thrillers like this with diabolical , vengeful characters try Defendants(2017). I stumbled unto it while looking for this one. I just started it and once again we have messed up family dynamics. What is it about kdramas….a family cant be rich and happy too…lol
I am enjoying this series but it is soooooo long. Looks like it is going to take ages to resolve everyone’s issues. That said I am going to hang in there. I love the ml and the fl. They are so cute together. Nothing like seeing an older couple falling in love. Since I am a widow myself I am finding this especially amusing. Lol I do have a potential suitor. He is also a widower. My adult children are friends with his adult children. They would all be thrilled. He is a nice man……. but not my type. Lol.
I just love how everyone just assumes Taeyun is dead. Of course that is how it is supposed to look but we have seen characters come from worst. They certainly left enough holes for a possible season 2. Usually in kdramas I have found if they want the character dead there is no question. Some of us are still hoping for a miracle return of Seung Jun from Crash Landing on You and the death of Han seo in Vincenzo still hurts. So excuse me if I choose to believe Tae Yun is not dead. Would that not make a great plot for a second season. Afterall, it is all about revenge. Take care.
Congrats to everyone who didn't want ml and fl to end up together cuz they did end up together
I am good…it is not some contrived fairy tale ending where they sail off together with arms around each other looking blissfully happy. There is still alot of pain and baggage that each carries. That did not seem like a kiss of passion to me but more like a goodbye kiss. They both just looked resigned to accept their fate. So I am good. Maybe there will be a Season 2 which would tie up the loose ends everyone is talking about.
Well now I can binge watch the series with pleasure. From the comments it seems like no one was really who or what they appeared to be ….just my kind of drama….messed up( for lack of a better word since I dont curse) please continue to spoil it for me. It will only enhance my experience.
it's soo annoying how many people in this comment section are dismissing how fans feel about the screen-time distribution.…
Well said…thank you. Two series that come to mind are To Sir With Love which was publicized as a bl but did a great job in my opinion of incorporating a second hetero couple and Love Is Science which was billed as a straight series but the gay couple stole the show.
All I can say is I am really enjoying this. The mls are all so good but Ozone(Gun) is phenomenal. I have a friend whose daughter is autistic. I have also taught students who were autistic. Gun’s depiction is very realistic. I personally think the female lead is a little over the top but I do like her character. I know its personal because I am an introvert and what some people perceive as friendly is really pushy and intrusive to me. So I am trying to be as objective as possible regarding Dream.
said than done. I know people who broke up, got back together and even had a child only to break up again. At this point it is too early to tell how this will end but I intend to stay and find out.
