pretty sure going to be in the minority here, but yes i do love them and ship them and the casting and direction is damn good. all of it is true and yet i was disappointed.
and it wasnt disappointment with just that last episode either.
so hot take or whatever you want to call it, when you watch something that already completely swept you off your feet in the first half, how can you possibly mess it up in the last half? I dont know but here's my honest thoughts.
I have not read the manga so this is based solely off the show, and naturally going to read it now to see who was in the wrong here but its like they picked up a good plot element, super dark, which was the EXPECTATION because I mean not everyone is here for the pointless tears that made no sense when the whole grandma arc was BORINg AS F.
That and the decision to start something dark with akin's character and then it would just get resolved in the next ep!!! like wtf i wasnt there to watch two dudes being boyfriends while the world is against them in a bunch of different pretty looking scenes, that is the plot of every damn bl story line! i was there to watch something different! this was NOT DIFFERENT!
I was there for the plot and it got really thin at one point.
the writing is again, dialogue etc is good naturally but the actual plot they just pick up some conflict and then just go the other way or resolve it way too quick . its like a diff person wrote the last couple of eps because they could have still fixed it in the finale but damn disappointing finale too.
i dont know if some of these things happened because some prude was controlling the creative decisions or because they blvd their audience was too conservative to find akin actually sleeping with someone sus! instead of making it so it didnt actually happen and Johnny just made it look that way! wtaf.
its not even the only time this happened! that one ep where he just tries to solve things on his own was the same resolved by wearing rings ! i mean at least continue that conflict to the finale instead of adding some bs plot about the grandma.
ok like i said, i will definitely rewatch it later and it has some amazing stufff especially pretty much everything to do with the hooney and the xianxia stuff even the sasaeng plot despite being resolved too soon still got to me because they showed a nuanced story for the sasaeng at least.
okay then i will stop nowand get some sleep folks!
have a great day/night and be safe wherever you are <3
