Like the brothers and Bua, but not really interested in the rest. Very over the top like most soap opera/lakorn. The evil second wife is bordering on ridiculous. The setting is unique and an interesting time to set a LGBTQ+ story (although that seems to be a VERY small portion of this overall story). I don't think I can sit through the melodrama and soap opera elements, so I'll probably drop and wait for a BL edit.

I was kinda bored by the end of the first ep. Felt like they could have cut that in half and I still would have gotten what I needed for backstory. Editing needs to be tightened up A LOT. I'll give it one more ep and see, but it would really have to pick up the plot and pacing to keep me interested beyond that.

I would put that poster up in my room!

I agree. This is first and foremost a BL, with mystery elements. That's why I forgive the mis-steps in the mystery plotting. I know it wasn't top of mind when they were writing. But it does add a nice flavor and new element to a BL. I'm not in any way saying this is a great series, but for a BL I appreciate what they're TRYING to do. Let's face it, if BL writers were great writers, they probably wouldn't be writing BL shows.

I'm a swimmer, but I didn't even notice. Was too eagerly awaiting the chest shots to even think about his technique.

Khao has never looked hotter than in the pool just before the kiss.

Ah, I see what you're saying now. I understand you point.

What was so memorable about the scene? Yes, it was racy for tv, but that's about it.

Eh. I was kinda bored for most of it. Even the sex scene was uninteresting. Neither of the min characters were interesting or compelling. Two arrogant, entitled narcissists. Yawn. I'll give it one more ep, but I'm not expecting too much.

I have to go back and watch his guest appearance in Fudanshi Bartender. I don't remember what his role was there, although I'm sure it was small.

That was called "In a Relationship". 2 different actors, I believe.

Nevermind. I figured it out. Hahaha. Took me a minute, but I realized the logic of it all. Hmm. I guess there could be no other ending.

I liked this one quite a lot. Different and unique story. Thought the acting was strong. Moon Ji Yong is incredibly charismatic.

At first I had trouble wrapping my head around it... but then I just went with the fantasy of it. I was glad they didn't romanticize the ending and kept the tragedy as it was. It would have been too schmaltzy otherwise.

But the actual ending confused me to no end. I'm not certain how you go back 15 years twice. When he exited the building, it was Jan 30, 2022. That's why he couldn't get back into the building. The friend shows up and gives him the "will". But then he shows up again a few days earlier, as in the first episode. I know I'm missing something, but I just can't figure it out.

It wasn't the most compelling series ever. But I enjoyed it and would recommend it.

Yes, as long as they are open to hearing another viewpoint.

Thank you, nothing major. Once you open up the communication lines and explain yourself, issues usually resolve very quickly.

Boy Wayu Films certainly love the darker, bleaker side in their stories. This was well done. Well-acted. One of their better productions. An interesting and unique format, with the documentary style. As with many of their films, the scripting was repetitive with characters saying basically the same lines over and over with only the slightest variation. Was even more evident here where it was just one character being interviewed at a time. Was interesting and had some insights. I would have loved to hear more stories from different "entertainers" and more clients - but that's for another movie.

A beautiful production. Highly skilled acting. Strong concept. Complex characters (although Mom could have used a bit more dimension). No easy answers. The best ending you could have hoped for given the situation and characters.

But Incredibly repetitive script. Why say it once when you can say it 4 times? Not a single revelation for me. I knew everything that was "revealed" from the very start. And after all these long monologues and endless blabbering, so little results from it. This would have been a highly impactful 2 hour movie. But at 6 hours+ it was a slog. I kept watching because it was unique and unusual. I've watched enough BL & LGBTQ+ programming and so much of it is exactly the same with different actors. At least this attempted something different.

In the end, its soap opera roots took over. Overwrought, drawn out, cliches that try to pass themselves off as new philosophical thought. Even some of the thematic imagery became too cloying for me. The glass globe. A bridge called Wang. The 52 hertz whale. Please. Less is more, people.

All in all, just a middling effort for me. Applause for the attempt. Snores for the execution.

Not quite sure about this one yet. The manga aspects (subtitles/sfx/freeze frames) turned me off at first, but then I embraced that this is the world our lead lives in and how he sees life around him. Was having troubles with Mamochii's character, until the big reveal in the last scene. Now I see him in a different light. I do like the attention to depression and self-esteem. I'll try a few more eps and see how it goes. I have a feeling I'll come around, as I usually go crazy for the JDramas. Fingers crossed.

Hahaha. It IS. And it surely is the cause of all conflict in every relationship I've had.

Can't stomach this one. Dropped.
