I've had a question for a while now. Since Tan and Bun are lovers, why do they still use the polite partical ครับ (khrup) when speaking to one another? Why don't they speak more casually/familiarly?
It's a little sus when a YouTube post gets you to click on it by promising Eng Subs and doesn't provide them.
This looks dark and depressing anyway. Since they seem to be specializing in sadness, Asterisk Entertainment should change their name to At Your Own Risk Entertainment.
Omg i read a lot salty comments of people judging Shu Yi rather quickly and calling him childish? ;_;We saw a…
They're both childish to an unrealistic extent because the writing is so sloppy and eye-roll inducing. The whole thing makes me less invested in the two guys as characters or as lovers because neither deserves much respect.
I think this quickie episode was a mistake. All it did was ruin the happy ending from the first part of the series. It didn't leave me feeling suspense, only ripped off.
I thought Jiang Chen in the chinese version was way to mean and too much of a jerk. If i was her i never would…
JC is a darker, more troubled character for sure. I think whichever preference someone has for him vs. Heon probably has to do with how much patience a viewer has for watching such a character struggle to become a better person.
Heon is a nice guy from the start. It's one reason why that moment when he calls Sol Yi a loser is so jarring -- it doesn't fit the character at all. (I blame the writers for that.) It also makes his moving away after his fight with Sol Yi more inexplicable. That's something we'd expect from JC, but you have to wonder why the nice guy Heon would take such a drastic measure and then never contact her for years afterward.
If the writers wanted to make him such a teddy bear then they should have committed to it more. I think one reason this version of the story is so unsatisfying to me is that it's really tough to get a sense of who Heon really is, or why he loves Sol Yi so much. He doesn't have any dark corners to his personality, so why would he be so emotionally dependent on someone loving him to the point of compromising her own self-esteem.
In other words, why can't Heon live without her? In the Cdrama version I understand the reason. In this version I don't.
Preferring the JC version of the ML doesn't mean I think he's boyfriend material -- it just means I think it's a more interesting character to watch over the course of several episodes. Heon is pretty bland.
I'm a huge fan of Yohan as an idol, but I really felt the way the Korean remake has changed the ML's character…
I think Jiang Chen was a character with deepset problems connecting with other people and expressing affection. He had abandonment issues, so toward the end when he told Bo Song that Xiao Xi was the only person who had ever truly been there for him, it was a turning point because he was finally learning how to deal with those emotions.
Heon isn't as troubled, so the character is milder and more relatable. It's not surprising that some people prefer him. He's unthreatening.
Personally I prefer watching a character go through a transformation over the course of a drama, so the Cdrama version is the one for me.
Is it just me or did today’s episode seem like the last? Then what does episode 24 contain?
It felt like the last episode, especially since the montage during the closing credits was looking back on the entire series and there was no preview of the next episode.
One thing the Cdrama version was criticized for was that they didn't show the main leads getting married. I wonder if the next episode will center around Heon and Sol Yi's wedding.
What a great read! I agree with everything you said. Especially about Sorawit and Tat. They should have gotten…
I'll have to rewatch, but assuming you're correct it would mean he was able to determine from a distance that Jane was already dead. If he wasn't there when the murder happened then he wouldn't know how long she'd been unconscious. For all he knew, she could have been revived.
Also, if the video didn't catch the act as it happened then it would be circumstantial evidence at best.
I shouldn't nitpick though. We don't watch this expecting airtight writing. First and foremost it's a star vehicle for Max and Tul, and this isn't the only scene in the series that doesn't quite add up.
But it was soooo satisfying to watch, hot damn!

Fridays belong to "1000 Stars" and "Brothers", two completely different Thai BLs that together are perfect for starting the weekend.
