This is GIOLD STUFF and shallow people won't understand.
People are so impatient, wanting everything to be explained when the series is only 2/3 complete. I'm enjoying the puzzle. I never saw today's twist coming, but I loved it.
Why is this story so confusing? Absolutely zero is ever explained (probably why they chose the name) 😑Didn't…
Ongsa survived the accident in the original timeline. When Suansoon went back in time Ongsa was still alive. What irritates me is that he didn't know for sure that Ongsa would die, he just assumed so.
As for the mechanism for time travel, who knows. I have a feeling we're just supposed to accept that it happens. (Tbh, though, what could they say that would be believable?)
Today's episode was confusing but by the end of the series I expect the time loops will be fully revealed, like in the series "Someday or One Day".
Part 3's subs didn't work for me, but the funny thing is that after I skipped it and went right to Part 4 the story hadn't advanced in any noticeable way ... and the episode still felt like it lasted an eternity.
Jericho's acting as Zeke seems to have been in "Joe Cool" mode for most of this series. I can't tell if it's an affectation or a purposeful part of his characterization of Zeke. Either way, it's gotten annoying.
At any rate, Zeke has become unlikeable enough that I'm not looking forward to the inevitable reconciliation with Fifth. I just hope it's Zeke who does the groveling and not poor Fifth.
John Master’s review highlights so many things I did not mention and I recommend reading his comprehensive commentary…
And, "Brava" for your comment!
I thought John Masters went too far in hacking the poor film to pieces, when it seems it's either a school project or a contest entry and not something that the filmmaker was trying to make money from. I hope Zee, whoever he is, doesn't take the criticism to heart.
I also suspect a half-hour time limit, which could explain why so much story was packed into a relatively brief running time.
Exactly. I suspect it was a film project for school or maybe a contest entry, and that the time limit was 30 minutes. "Zee" the filmmaker had more story to tell than could fit in that time, hence the quick breakup via text and dad's miraculous turnaround after one conversation with mom. 🙂
I recognize the actor who plays Ben from a series but can't remember which one.
The "Love Sick" t-shirt is from the 2024 remake of the series.
All in all, you seem to relish beating up on a student film as though it was an Oscar contender. Chill out, man. We should be encouraging young filmmakers instead of trying to show off at their expense.
Why not apply your critical skills to actual junk that had a much higher budget and much better pedigree, like "Remember Me"?
I think the main problem for me is that both twins start off with terrible personalities. From there it looks like we'll be expected to believe that Sprite becomes a nice, humble guy once he starts impersonating Zee. Well, for me his brief encounter with First when he bumped into him at the restaurant already didn't ring true. Sprite was so apologetic!
It's also a problem that Zee would be like that as a member of a sports team. The coach ought to be kicking his ass over such a bad attitude.
Then there's the questionable ethics of sneaking a twin onto a team to secretly replace his injured brother. When I was in college I dated a twin, and he would occasionally go to where his brother was attending school to take exams for him. If he'd been discovered I'm sure his brother would have been expelled. This kind of thing is just as bad when it comes to sports.
I really like "enemies to lovers" stories, partly because I'm always curious to see how the writers manage the transition. I was disappointed in "Dangerous Romance" because over there I don't think they even bothered to try. Based on the trailer for "Twins" and the preview for Episode 2, I'm hopeful we'll be getting a more convincing evolution of Sprite and First's relationship.
I think I've never been this happy that a show is finally ending.for me its barely a 4 for this show and I think…
I think the irritation factor was exponentially multiplied due to the strong cast being so poorly utilized. Just a terrible script where character behavior changed without warning or reason.
And dear god the "windmill" metaphor was so clunky. There's nothing romantic about a windmill unless you're Don Quixote.
Meen and Ping seem perfectly matched. Yes, Guy is a lot like Nai, but Ping does that "airheaded hottie" thing so well, I don't know how I'd feel seeing him in a serious role. And gosh he is cute.
Meanwhile, Meen is one of the most beautiful men in BL. Just stunning.
As for the story, Wahl does seem possessive of Guy to an unhealthy degree. Stalking him to his meet-up is a red flag. Since the character is getting top billing in the credits I think this is just the start of his interference.
The gamer friends are well cast. Tom is a hoot. But the first person Kenji the gangster should be shooting is his stylist. That has to be a wig, otherwise the actor would need to go into hiding while they filmed.
This looks like it will be a lot of fun. Count me in!
I thought the ending was a little too pat. And I didn't like how a series that featured hookup after hookup decided to make an outcast of the one character who did so unapologetically, always making it clear what his intentions were.
Btw, when Boston hooked up with Top I don't think Top and Mew had yet agreed to be boyfriends. It wasn't the classiest thing for the guys to do, but I think Mew's outrage was a little overdone.
In general there was way too much Ray. I came to despise the character. His "rehab" was a joke, not least because he continued to drink while in a substance abuse program. The rehab subplot was the most heinous aspect of the series because it misrepresented what recovery really entails.
Ray and Sand's relationship is doomed, despite the desperate attempt to romanticize it. That little montage in the finale of the two of them frolicking like newlyweds was the cringiest thing in the entire series. When it got to the pose where their heads were resting on each other's shoulders, one earbud apiece as they closed their eyes and smiled angelically, I laughed.
Despite the weak final episode, though, I really liked the series overall and salute the cast for their fearless performances.
I wouldn't mind a Season 2 that focuses on the newly out Atom and his group of friends.

Yim's completely over the top but there were some moments when I laughed out loud. I also like seeing Leo and Tai together again.
I'm sticking with it.

I recommend that you gauge your expectations accordingly. 😉

The only reason I will be dreading the 2024 release is all the MDL commenters who will be trying to ruin it for those who welcome a fresh take.
