What a lovely series this was. My fav couple was Dome and Vee hands down. I love the actor playing Vee from seeing him in My Stand In, so I initially watched this for him. But Dome and Vee's chemistry was out of this world and my heart broke for Vee as his storyline played out.
I see comments angry that Dome and Vee didn't get a good ending, but I actually felt like they did. Their ending felt authentic, real and promising for the future. Real life is messy, some things take time to heal and their chat at the end acknowledged that their love for each was still there. They also know that Vee's sister is giving them her blessing to be together, Vee just needs some time to get past his guilt. The fact the story wasn't given a quick happy ever after finish made me warm to it even more. I see Dome and Vee together as a couple in their future.
Moss and Bank's Chemistry in Big Dragon was FIRE, but in this I'm totally distracted by the awkward scenes and in particular how Bank is portraying Salin with childish pouting reactions to absolutely everything that happens or is said to him. I think if the series had taken on a more mature, serious tone it may have hit better, felt sexier, felt more organic and less forced.
Initially, I hadn't allowed myself to fast forward (FF) this series because it's GF! I freaking love them in MSP!…
This is literally identical to my experience. I feel it has a too high episode count for what has been shown so far. And I don't feel the "passion" between Gemini and Forth too. I don't need sex to believe a love story, but some tension and attraction to each other would be great also.
So the pulling force for me this whole series and the reason I'm rating the series as high as I am? Quite simply put, it was because of Fort. Wow that man is AMAZING. The way he portrays his characters makes me want him to marry the man myself. I absolutely cried for Mut this last episode and I'm so glad he just didn't give in so easily after being hurt so deeply.
For me I couldn't care less about the GL storyline, as it seemed to go around in circles with, still even at the end, no resolution. Mook as a character was just PAINFUL for watch and just too much. I liked the actress in The Wedding Plan, but she played the most irritating character in this series. At least for me.
I couldn't watch Middlemen's Love for the absolute cringe factor and had to drop it after one episide, but really enjoying this series. There is very obviously a past life / previous encounter situation to reveal between the two main leads and I'm intruiged to see it how it plays out.
So don't get me wrong, I love our two boys and supporting GMMTV, but I've got to the point where I just feel like fast-forwarding through each episode for this series to find out if things have progressed along story wise. I feel like the story line hasn't "peaked" in excitement or plot in the last, so far, 10 episodes aired. For me, sometimes less is more, and a less episode count can make a storyline feel more organic and engaging - and realistic. I do believe this may be following the events of a Manga too, and fans may say it needs all these episodes to convey things correctly, but my opinion still stands. I will still watch to the end but I don't seek out episodes now which is a shame!
I just binge watched all first three episodes and oh how charming this series is! 💕 I love both main leads and God is a sweetheart. Can't wait to see them get closer and see Diew learn to trust God too. 😊
Mos and Bank's chemistry in Big Dragon was electrifying, and though I do see a hint of what's to come here too with this series, the way they have the characters act like naive timid teenagers, and especially Lin, is a bit cringe worthy and makes their acting, especially Bank's feel less authentic. I feel this is the fault of the writing as the actors can only portray their roles in how they are given to them! In saying that though I am enjoying the show and I think things will improve more when it feels like a more natural adult relationship. I can only hope!
First off, yikes Ming's father is a PIECE OF SH!T. I loathe him more than I loathe Tong, and that is saying a lot. 🤬 As a parent, how could you inflict such pain on your children just to get your own way?! I could never do such a thing to my two daughters. 😡 Also Ming's Mum is not much better for the exact same reason. I don't care if she has a change of heart after seeing what Ming and Joe meant to each other, she still chose to try and hurt another Mum like herself and ruin a family unit, just to try and separate Ming and Joe. 🤨 Mike deferring the way he did constantly to his father also sh!t me no end, though I do also understand part of it would be from years of trying to keep a fearsome parent happy, and I do sympathise with that. But fight with Ming more please, in a more in-your-face kind of way! Re Tong, I do see a redemption arc playing out and it peeves me off as I still want to chuck him off a cliff. I mean, now he is the reason why Joe has also been shot. I'll only accept the redemption arc if it really does show Tong humbled and not getting a smooth sailing ending. I want Ming's sister to stay divorced from him, and for him to learn the hard way that life isn't a free ride - that he'll no longer get any handouts and have to actually WORK for a living and earn money. Sure, have him work harder to better himself for his child, but he doesn't deserve a full rosy ending.
In regards to the last episode airing next week, I can see what they'll fill it up with and it seems to be wrapping up nicely. They'll show the risk of losing Joe, him then waking up and recovering, and then he and Ming repairing Joe's relationship with his Mum, and finishing off with a loved up ending. Sol's arc has already been finished off nicely in this episode in preparation - though I did find it a very short considering how much of a heavy presence he had in his final few episodes. I also know I may be in the minority here, but I loved Sol as a potential partner for Joe, though Ming had a very deserving redemption arc and I do love their story too.
In the novel, the lawyer thing was done by Ming’s mom (maybe a bit instigated by what Tong said to her)…we’ll…
I am so thankful it has nothing to do with Sol. It did worry me because Sol was so set on making Joe promise not to forgive Ming, that I was worried he would try to remove Ming from the picture in this way. It would be a plot twist I could see happen.
it is no surprise at all either that Ming's family members would be behind the lawyers letter. they were definitely a top three contender also.
Okay question please for those who have read the story, I'm happy to be spoiled with this please! But I can see TWO strong possibilities as to who used their lawyer to send evidence to Joe's Mum to let her know that Joe has his paramour contract with Ming. First is the obvious culprit - Tong. The second, and this would make me sad but I can sadly see the possibility, is Sol. Which one is it? if it is Sol that would actually make me very sad as I've loved his character and how he has protected Joe. I have loved Sol's personality. But his recent behaviour in the previous episode has become a little too self serving in his mission to make Joe his own. I also don't want Joe to lose Sol as his friend.
In regards to the whole of episode 10, I loved it. it felt strange seeing Ming be so gentle with Joe 24/7 but it is also perfectly understandable as now he knows Joe is definifely his old Joe, he is petrified of losing him and would have spent three years planning all the ways he would show Joe he is loved if Ming ever got him back. And that is EXACTLY what we saw happen in this ep. Also their NC scene, with the attention to detail in showing how Ming now wants a physical AND emotional connection with Joe as they make love, this was beautifully done. Joe tried to turn away from Ming like he usually does when they have sex, and Ming was like nope, you come right back here, I need to kiss you and see you up close as I make love to you. Absolutely LOVED that for Joe!
Now as for Tong, O.M.F.G!!!!!!!!!!!! He is SO LOATHESOME, seeing his downfall can't come early enough. Let's do this already!!
Episode 9 yessssss! What an episode. 👏 Okay what I loved? First, that Joe is not letting Ming off the hook easily. I can see that Ming loves Joe, I can see he is also trying hard to get Joe to forgive him, but I love that Joe isn't giving in easily and not letting Ming push him around. Joe has every right not to forgive him, so Ming has to learn some patience and some grace if he is ever to succeed in securing a healthy relationship between the two of them. Based on the preview for next week's episode it looks like Ming is championing Joe's needs in front of his own, and I'm loving that shift. We know Joe is a healthy and loving partner when it comes to relationships, Joe needs to see that potential from Ming too so that he can make the decision on if Ming is right for him or not. Of course it's not ideal that Joe still has his contract with Ming, but it appears we may have a shift to a more caring, and less possessive (in a negative way) Ming, I hope. I'm all for Joe chosing Ming if both men can have a healthy relationship and Joe is a treasured half of the relationship too, as he should be.
Re Sol, I absolutely love him, though he was a little bit much this episode. I totally get him protecting Joe, but trying to "claim" him so publicly in the press conference, though he did it out of pride for Joe, it is similar in how Ming takes choices away from Joe too, and that is never going to work. Though I understand Sol's need to protect Joe, he has to realise that Joe also has a right to be fully informed about everything too. If anything, what this series has shown us is just how important it is to respect and care for ourselves too. Not just to do what others want of us.
Re Tong, that "man" deserves to receive no grace whatsoever. Omg that man needs to be piffed off a cliff and just to disappear. I think he is one of the most hated character's in any series I have watched, which shows just how well the character is written and played by the actor. But boy, I can't wait to see Tong get some crap dished out to him, it can't come soon enough!!! Go after Tong Ming, I know you have the chops for it! 👏
Ohhhhh this is going to be a LONG week until the next episode airs! The preview for it looks SO GOOD. 😍👏
