Thank you for posting this. I'm still new to watching dramas and you've answered a lot of questions that were knocking around in my brain for a while.
I recently realized that the Thai dramas that I'm watching are also being filmed as they're being broadcast, and unfortunately this has been impacted by the corona virus just like everything else. I'm hoping the product companies will just suspend filming until the virus situation has relaxed, but I also realize that many of the actors and crew will have other obligations based on contracts they've signed, and so the work may go unfinished forever.
It makes me wonder how many dramas will end up as one more casualty of the corona virus.
Wang Quan Sheng the true Wang Quang Sheng oh God this boy really changed my perspective about everything. But…
I believe he did die, and that was what made his body available to Li Zi Wei to take over. If a "host" character remains alive while their body is occurpied, we get to see them in the little room watching the action from inside. That never happened with Wang Quang Sheng so to me it confirms that he died.
I think the loss of his life is the saddest thing in the series, especially since (as you say) the "gay version" of him is completely forgotten in all the plot machinations.
I like that there was some LGBTQ representation in the series but it's unfortunate that it had to be with a character who commits suicide because he's gay. (It's been a while since I watched but I think his parents are also relieved when the "new" him proves to be straight? That's a very old-fashioned way for a script to turn out in 2019.)
I come here from time to time and break my own heart. I TRULY understand everyone's complaints about this show,…
Ikr? This is the only drama where I've seen this happen. It's as though the series actually made some people angry, and instead of dropping it like any other show they stuck with it, letting their fury grow, then in the end blamed the show for wasting their time.
At first they succeeded in driving down the rating but since then I'm glad to see it's gone up nicely.
Great review. I hadn't thought about how this drama subverts the usual kdrama cliches, but after you mentioned it I could think of a number of instances where it did just that. Reviews are at their best when they bring insights along with opinion, and that's what you do here. Nice job!
This was a drama with an operatic scope and a story and acting to match. For me it delivered on every level. I won't be surprised it if's remembered as one of the greatest Kdramas of the 2020's -- one that people will compare others to for years to come.
I'm confused as to why some people think there's an open ending. It seems pretty clear that Pun comes back to be with Sib, and Sib is all about that too.
I think, after company who make history disconnect their tie with line tv (H3 MODC come from choco tv with viki…
If you haven't seen 'Love With Flaws' then you might want to check it out. There's a BL side story where for once in a Kdrama it's more than just a bromance. There are even scenes set in a gay bar where the gay brother tends bar.
What was interesting to me is that overall the series has a wacky tone like the US/UK series 'Shameless', with the exception of one character who never behaves like an idiot, which is the gay brother.
