In my country, you buy them at the checkout, among other things, so that the cashier can see them and so that no one damages them on purpose, e.g., pierces them with a needle :) You can also buy lubricant at the checkout. Sometimes, large drugstores have separate sections for condoms, lubricants, and sanitary pads or disposable panties.

But you can also get gum, lollipops, and batteries at the checkout. In fact, you don't have to ask the employee about these items, as they're on a shelf accessible to customers, but these shelves are located close to the cash registers, so theoretically, the employee can see them. You can also buy condoms at gas stations, and yes... on the shelf by the checkout.

Oh my goodness, this is boring, not even stupid, not even something to laugh or complain about :) Boring. I'll give it a chance, though, after all, there were series I only liked after the fourth or fifth episode.

Oh my goodness, you really love this show, and while I don't entirely agree with your opinion, I understand your reasoning and know exactly why you like it. My favorite show is My Stand In, and I could go on and on about why I like it :)

Even though I really like this series, a rating of nine is too high for me

I understand those who dislike the show; the humor is sometimes jarring, I often felt second-hand embarrassment, the sometimes slow-paced plot, the over-the-top storyline, and the unconvincing portrayal of some characters, but I'm on the other side because I really, really liked the show. The first four episodes were awful, I even wanted to quit watching it, but then I got into the story. The only thing I wish I could do was interact with my friends more.

I didn't like the first episode. Too comedic, too over-the-top. And I must emphasize that I'm neither a fan nor a hater of NetJames or NetJJ. I don't care, and never have and even though I just said I didn't like the first episode, I don't understand whypeople are already rating the entire series rating it.
I'm not rating a series yet, because I always, always judge everything after watching the whole thing (with exceptions). The first episode is just the first episode; it often happens that you need to watch a little more to get hooked. This was the case with Duang with You, where for me, the fourth episode was the turning point, and I literally started to like the series.

But getting back to "Love Upon a Time" – yes, I didn't like the first episode, I guess I didn't like the main character's reactions and behavior to the situations he encountered (I don't know, his behavior, or rather his reactions to some things, reminded me of the behavior of characters in typical sitcoms (the worse ones)). Besides that, in my opinion, the acting was so-so (And I'm talking about the acting of all the actors)

The ending of the first episode was a funny moment, my lord, don't let someone who wants to save me from drowning take so long to undress before jumping into the water. I understand that slowing down Phop's undressing was supposed to make him look more awesome, but still... His character was, well, let's just say, out of nowhere in this episode. All the servants were chasing after the fleeing Khun, but Phop didn't have to; he was simply already there.

Plus, Khun's escape was somewhat amusing, because how many people can't catch a man who's not really running away, just running around in circles? And when the servants finally caught Khun and dragged him to Phop and then to the room - the whole scene was unconvincingly acted. I had the impression the child could have broken free and escaped. It's no wonder Khun managed to do so later.

I'm wondering what to think of this series. On the one hand I'm eagerly awaiting the next episodes but on the other I'm not sure if I like it enough to be eagerly awaiting the next ones. It's a light, cheerful comedy with one stronger thread, I think (I don't know how much the series will deviate from the novel). Is it just me who thinks the first episode was oddly edited? I think I've gotten used to the editing in subsequent episodes. So far, I've enjoyed episode 5 the most. Cheerful, but not entirely. I liked how Qin deliberately stared at Yim while saying "I missed you" to Duang. I liked the hiding and beating of the pink teddy bear (which we've already seen in previous episodes). I also liked the emphasis on the characters' physical attraction to each other. Duang twice remarks on Qin's legs, once when he was wearing black pants, and once in Qin's apartment, when Qin sits on the couch after a shower in shorts next Qin admits that he likes the sweet tone of voice Duang sometimes uses on him. I like Qin's dilemmas and struggles with himself, and the fact that Duang isn't always cheerful. We also have a very brief subplot with Pae, suggesting that something is going on behind the scenes. I don't like the characters' overt flirting; it seems to disrupt the show's character, at least at this stage, but I admit it's pleasing to the eye.

I think that focusing more on the group of friends would be better, the second thread that would somehow "interfere" with the description of the friends would be the ongoing investigation and the detectives, and the third, side story would be the romantic thread between the detectives.

You put my thoughts into words

I can't... what a load of crap. I loved the The Heart Killers-related crap, but not this. I cried watching it. I read the novel, and I'm sure many people will disagree, but the brothers' relationship is poorly described in it. In my opinion, it lacks closeness, understanding, and perhaps tenderness? I had the impression that this was an unintended consequence, that there was supposed to be love, but the author failed to deliver. And I hoped the series would fix it, but it didn't. In the novel, Jay ends up in a mental institution at the end it's a shame they didn't show that (It would make more sense to show, at least for a moment, how the boy is trying to cope with all this.). In the novel, in my opinion, the crime story was the main focus, and it was truly gripping, while in the series, it was different. The acting was strange, sometimes unconvincing. Very often, I don't understand the behavior of the characters. Example: why, when you see your friends/your children's friends, dying one by one, why don't you go/send them to safety or provide protection (and some of them had the financial means or the opportunity)? And for Merlin's sake, why didn't Jay cooperate with his brother? Jade, why is the guy you met a few weeks ago more important to you than your brother, whom you supposedly love and care about? So many questions, so few answers.

In my opinion, the most convincing, terrible but convincing character was Champ.

I really enjoyed the first season, but then everything became predictable and repetitive. I'm not saying I didn't like the final season, but subsequent seasons didn't bring me as much joy.

The main character put a lot of effort into avoiding BL situations; that was basically the crux of the show. For the past two seasons, one thought has been nagging me: Why don't you start dating a girl?

I agree :-)

And for me, the ghost of a boy in a rabbit mask, walking around with a bare chest all the time

I really liked it, but... I could have liked the series more if... I didn't really like Khemjir's character. He's too calm, doesn't really do anything to improve his life except begging for help, which is fine if you also act on your own to improve your fate. He's always known he's cursed, so instead of seeking help for a long time, he leaves it to the last minute. The world is big, where has he been, what has he done, who has he met to save himself? NOTHING. He could have delved into the secrets of meditation, visited monks, read the right books, visited various shamans, and studied. And what did he do all this time? Besides, when he realized Pharan wouldn't help him (because he didn't agree at first, and it wasn't nice, but he had the right to), What did he do? He should (in my opinion) have sought another alternative, someone else's help. In the age of the internet, it's easier to find information, and besides, his father was a monk, so maybe he could have asked around for a good spiritual leader or something. I think the actor who played Khem did a good job here, because I wouldn't be able to play such a clumsy person (I don't know if I used the right term in English, I mean a person who does nothing in life, is clumsy, expects help, can't defend himself either verbally or physically), I would probably be constantly angry at the character I was playing.
Don't hold anything against me for what I'm writing, this is how I see this character subjectively.

As I said at the beginning, I enjoyed the series, despite one character I didn't like as much. The music, the engaging plot, the supporting characters, and the portrayal of beliefs and some customs were fantastic. The storyline of the villain, who has real reasons for revenge, deserves special attention, one in which we completely understand him, don't support him, but understand his motives.

Really?! :) I love spoilers, could you share them with me? If not here, then in a private message? I have so many thoughts, because I know what I wrote above, but ultimately, I like this series.

And since we are discussing and have different views on some situations, tell me, do you also have the impression that the criminals may be King? Or maybe King is just Singh's enemy and the murdering psychopaths will be someone else?

Yes, I agree, this is my subjective opinion. I believe that many behaviors and dialogues are simply unrealistic, often even too exaggerated, excessive. As for the communication of the supporting characters, I don't like it either, but I don't judge it badly in the context of the acting or the bad script, because many people do not communicate well with each other and this results in many misunderstandings. It would be much easier to speak directly, but communication and language often rely on understatements and verbal nuances, and this means that two people may interpret the same situation or context of a statement differently

Don't get me wrong, I really like the series, the plot is engaging, and some of the characters are quite interesting, but watching it often gives me the impression that... the characters behave unrealistically, the dialogue is artificial, and in some scenes a real person would say something different than what the characters in the series say The facial expressions of some characters during dialogue are also strange, as if the actors didn't know how to act at a given moment. Does what I'm writing make sense?

It would be funny if our main character chose a fourth person. A woman.

I don't know what to say, after watching today's trailer, they changed the series a bit, didn't they?
After reading the comments, I see that I'm not the only one surprised.
hahahahhahahahah
