It's a good series but as it ended I realized I'll probably forget about it within a week or so and never rewatch. Some of the loose ends are tied up too quickly (Jin Woo and his dad) while others are left up in the air for no reason (second couple). It would have been easy to make the second couple's last conversation go in a more positive and final direction. I mean, if they're gonna resolve the lifelong issues between Jin Woo and his dad in a snap, why not the same with the second couple, whose issues are much easier to overcome.
On the upside, after initially finding Ki Sub very annoying I did start to appreciate his charms. Not sure why he was so attached to Jin Woo but he's a unique character in the BL universe. He looks terrible with straightened hair though. 😂😂😂
I was on edge for the entire last episode. The pairing was so uncomfortable to watch.
I wish they'd had Songjam's time/world jump land him close enough to Aksorn's time that the same actor could have stayed in the role. And by doing that make it unnecessary for him to meet Aksorn's parents haha. The writer worked so hard to give us twist after twist but never stopped to think of the awkward and often cringey result.
Dude I swear I read that fic, it was soooo good. Wasn't his alternative self making art with glass or something?
It’s called “Turn”. In my spoiler comment above I gave the link to it.
I remember so well the grief I felt when Harry had to return to his real timeline, mainly because of the wonderful characters that did not even exist in that timeline.
Deducted a point not so much because of the fake-out kiss itself, but mainly because leading up to it they made such a fuss about the lead actors rehearsing the kiss as well as all the drama over whether their series would drop it or include it.
Otherwise it was cute but a few months from now I'll probably forget I watched it.
I was surprised to learn that the actor who plays the blond manager was in "Fujoshi, Ukkari Gei ni Kokuru" as the straight friend of the gay protagonist. The scar on the other manager's left eye was also an interesting detail. I like how they just had it there so we'd see it in passing.
I'm only four episodes in but I'm enjoying this much more than I expected.
As the plot has unfolded and I've wondered where it's headed, it's made me think of my favorite "Drarry" (Draco Malfoy-Harry Potter) fanfic (which the author said was based on a Nicholas Cage movie that I can't remember the title of.)
In this story Harry is an adult, married to Ginny with kids, and he's in a funk but doesn't quite know why. Draco is also married, and although he and Harry have been long out of contact Harry hears that Draco has also been unhappy in his own marriage, and in fact that Draco's marriage is on the rocks.
Because of a kindness that Harry does for a stranger, the stranger offers him a chance to experience an alternative life where he is happy. Harry falls asleep and wakes up in bed next to Draco! (This scene, with Harry's shock as Draco proceeds to make some moves on him, is quite funny.) It turns out that they are a couple, and quite happy together.
The story goes on to create an amazing and fulfilling alternative world for Harry, where he has a different career, Fred Weasley is still alive, and Ginny is married to someone else. This alternative life is so wonderful that when it comes time for Harry to return back to his real life he is quite sad.
When he does get back to his real life, he and Ginny agree to get divorced and Harry decides he needs to recreate that relationship with Draco by convincing Draco that they should be together. The rest of the story is about his pursuit of Draco and how he manages this daunting feat.
ANYWAY, I'm wondering if "Two Worlds" will set up a similar situation, with Kram and Tai falling in love in the alternative world only to have Kram forced to return to his original world. Then, once he's back home he decides that he needs to pursue the scarfaced Tai and win his love, and that is how the rest of the series goes.
Working against this idea is the terrible thing that "scarface Tai" did to Kram's family (no spoilers here), so I realize it would be a lot for Kram to get past. For this reason things probably won't work out the way I hope but it did make me consider the possibility.
If GMMTV doesn’t get some honest feedback on their assembly-line time wasters, quality will never improve.
Having dropped the series, though, I don’t plan on being back here anytime soon, so you can calm down and feel better. 😘

I should caution that it is a Dickens-length novel of over 300,000 words, but worth every hour it takes to read it.
