(Not going to spoiler this because everyone deserves to know what they're getting into here.)
After today's ep.: Nah, this is too much-- Jaejun is literally cheating now. Even if the first kiss (which he initiated) was meant to be a "Here, you got what you wanted, now screw off," that was not the case with the second kiss-- there was no pushback or pulling away, but rather he really got into it instead; in fact he didn't hesitate to just full-on makeout with the guy, which is definitely cheating. And IMO there is no 'redemption' for cheating. If you're in a monogamous relationship, then you have agreed to stick with that person unless you break up first; and if you're polyamorous, then all parties need to agree on both that as well as the specific terms of the arrangement for all involved for it to be ethical. I can't stand cheating plots in fiction, because they're never written correctly; it's always made to be 'okay' in the end, when it really, really is not. There's really no way back for Jaejun's character for me now. And Jihan deserves so much better than to be loyal to a cheater... but, of course, they're going to write them back together anyway. 🙄🤦♀️🤮
I think I'm going to drop this series now, unfortunately. How did the writing go this far downhill... 😕
Ugh... not loving the double love triangles/love square forming here... :( I really hate love triangles to begin with (they're nearly always super unrealistic and unnecessary, not to mention annoying)-- unless it turns into a consensual poly arrangement (which is unfortunately still quite a rare occurance in fiction at this point, although I have seen it a couple of times). And to have two love triangles developing simultaneously? Even worse! Hopefully here the triangles aren't dragged out for the whole season and are dealt with very quickly-- or just turn into a polycule, LOL (but I'm not getting any hopes up for that in this series, unfortunately).
Oh, and I'm also not a fan of characters being insanely jealous (unless they're villainous or something)-- a little is fine, if the communication gets worked out between the couple; but extreme jealousy is a red flag and not attractive at all. So I hope that gets toned down, too.
Yeah, outofthemouthsof basically answered it already, but it was both happy and sad because they apparently lived happily together for decades... but they didn't actually show any of that, not even in montage-- they just timeskipped right to Yoh's death-day. And Pun supposedly has only 20 more years left to live after that, so if Yoh was reincarnated again then they'd barely have any time together at all in that life once Yoh was of age...
Hmm... for a show that had such glacial pacing overall, why did it feel like they rushed the very ending? 3 things were disappointing: #1, that Yoh didn't fight for Pun at all during the 'wedding,' and only finally had some spark of initiative after the girl 'gave' Pun to him 🙄; #2, that once the past-lives were revealed to be true, there was not nearly enough footage of this (there should have been at least half an episode dedicated to showing more of the past lives and them meeting again and again and again to make more impact, rather than just a couple of several-second-long shots + brief mentions of it in the dialogue); and #3, that the final payoff was not very good at all... there should definitely have been more shown after they finally got together in this life-- even just a longer montage hinting at the years of happy domesticity they had or something-- rather than the almost-immediate timeskip to Yoh's death-day that they did here instead... 😕 I don't mind the bittersweet-feeling ending, and I totally understand what they were trying to go for story-wise, but it's just that the execution of that vision left a lot to be desired...
Absolutely loved it, but I needed Myungha to finally tell Yeowoon that he loves him when they reunited on the…
Some people said they thought he actually did mouth it/the sound was just muffled/muted, but yeah, it would have been much nicer to hear it out loud :)
Re: the magic powers, It's pretty much implied that the 'author' was really some kind of supernatural entity/deity/etc.…
Ah, I see, haha. 😁👍 Yeah, I think they just wanted to make the isekai part of it a mystery/reveal this time to add a different twist, rather than just making it explicit right from the beginning like is usual in the genre. :)
I enjoyed this. All the boys and characters are just too sweet and adorable. Even that brat, Chun Sang Won. One…
If it helps, it wasn't an actual videogame, it was an alternate reality which just so happens to have intrinsic game mechanics which the 'author' (who was really a supernatural entity) sent Myungha to to give him a second chance to learn how to live happily. (If you know the term 'isekai' from Japanese media, that's basically what this series' genre was. :) )
Great series, it got a little bit confusing for me towards the end (so are magic powers where you can put people…
Re: the magic powers, It's pretty much implied that the 'author' was really some kind of supernatural entity/deity/etc. who decided to give Myungha that second chance; this is actually a super common plot device in the 'isekai' genre in Japanese media (which often feature the main character dying before/at the very beginning of the story and then a supernatural entity deciding to send them to a new reality where they get a second chance). :) Loved the way this show presented it though!
I need that person who always writes multiple paragraphs at the end of the series to come through and explain…
To summarize: The main character Myungha had already died before the start of the show, and the 'author' was a supernatural entity/deity giving him a second chance in an alternate reality which just so happens to have intrinsic game mechanics. (It wasn't an actual videogame, it was the afterlife/another world; if you know the term 'isekai' from Japanese media, that's basically what this series' genre was. :) ) And through that he finally learned the lessons he needed to learn, and now he is living out his happy second chance in this new reality. :)
This drama is absolutely amazing, but Thailand has no competition when it comes to bl.Most Kbls unfortunately…
LOL... you are seriously comparing Korean production/budget to Thai production/budget and saying the former is 'mostly subpar'...? When Korea is literally known for high budget and production in their media? There is definitely good media from both countries, but if you want to try to say that Thai media is 'better,' then for your own credibility please use another argument, because I have seen so much more percentage of Thai stuff that desperately needed better production vs. the percentage from Korea, LOL... 😅
