I think what's my issue it that both Asamiya and Mayama are not 'new' cute or exciting. I don't mean facial, I mean relationship and environment. Eito is acting the same role as in Takara's Treasure - quirky with odd mannerisms - in a school setting. So it feels like a follow on than something new. Gennosuke's portrayal comes across as flat and not dead pan. I've not seen him act before but I'm not getting anything from him. I know the part he is playing calls for no animation / reserved actions but it's still missing something. I'll keep watching to see where it goes or if it gets better.
I will add that maybe all bls should live outside the school setting for a while or add nuances that are truly original.
You guys should stop blaming the father, he tried his best, at least he loves his son
Maybe if he spent more time trying to fix Chat and cease his classist prestigious behavior I could look past it. His mother who knew wealth in her late stage in life could adapt. What does it say about him? Does he love his SONS enough to tend to their needs or is he stuck performing the role of royalty because he sees that as the way to have some importance. Had he embraced a more open way of thinking, maybe his sons may not have disappointed him so much. One a classist idiot and the other had to hide his true self to please him.
My sentiments exactly. Only because I loved them I gave them 7. That ep was terrible. The ending of the main series was so nice and then to get this....sigh.
1. The ep length is working in its favor. 2. How easily Jae On lifted his leg to hold Hyeon during the ticklefest, raised an eyebrow 3. Hong Seok should smile more. It improves his acting considerably and get his both eyes to cooperate. 4. They should sign up for kissing classes. Possible instructors: Si Woo and Yoon Sik or Jeong Ri U and Ji Sung. Maybe Jeong Ri U and most of the actors I've seen him with.
I think it’s a few logics active at the same time.1. The Bei name is toxic. It makes the half sister miserable.…
Is the name toxic or their desires? Lu Xin desires her brother. BLQ desires LXF. The Lu's aren't any better. The mother wanted to elevate the family at the cost of LXF. The brother's greed destroys the entire family's prospects.
The Lu's deserve to be destroyed. LXF was the sacrificial lamb that they bled continously. Old Bei did what any parent would - to protect his family. He was always generous to LXF. When you consider their roles Bei and LXF mother were trapped by family dynamics.
BLQ invested heavily to get away from his family and be financially stable to have LXF. Poor communication and pride has him in that position. LXF has to bear the burden also. His soft heart and pretending to be too stupid to know better, in essence make BLQ think this is who he is.
Does BLQ hate women or has a preference for men? The time period would not allow contradictory behaviors without severe repercussions. His circle knew, his parents knew but he had to live closeted professionally. Now, had he been financially independent do you think he would have stayed in that situation. His mother was obscene rather than cruel. She had them all tethered to her money and showed it.
Personally, I don't think anyone is above the other in both families and that's why I liked this series. They all had serious failings. The only three that I consider irredeemable are LXF's brother, father and BLQ's mother.
Never underestimate a silent man. So happy his mother stood on business this time. She wanted better for them but married to daddy leech and having baby leech, drained the poor woman. I think if LXF wasn't the 'woman to a man' and straight, she might have left both of them right then and there. I respected the final convo Lu Xin had with him. Didn’t know she had it in her.
I wonder how someone develops such single minded devotion for another. Making millions to save him after helping to break him. LXF is truly a case study.
This series had it's moments but was very entertaining throughout.
I'm sorry but he was deeply depressed. He could not switch and be all happy and in love in one night. Depression…
I don't consider healthy discussions as attacks and it's not taken as such. Also, I don't like fanfic. I appreciate quality and consistent storytelling.
Wen Shu is seen in a perpetual state of longing, loss and denial. Limiting.
There is no other way I can describe it.
If it serves a greater purpose at the end , it's fine. If it doesn't, then it exists for no other reason. Does his state and Tian's hold truth in this moment? I truly hope it is worth it.
Also, her story, her vision, her right. A writer slso has a responsibility to the intended reader on what is released. Intended or not, in their writing they expect to leave an impact.
I'm sorry but he was deeply depressed. He could not switch and be all happy and in love in one night. Depression…
I'll preface this by saying I don't know what's coming in the show and no, it was not intended for you. Clinical depression can be cyclical or chronic. We see there are moments especially pertaining to the ex where he was gripped by it. We also saw, in that depression, that he could step out of his darkness and participate and be present. It’s not a hard and fast rule for everyone.
Respecting her work is one thing and I agree it should be respected. When does respect for the audience come in? It's not a story about fairies, ghouls and gobblins. It's a drama about fictional real life situations in the entertainment industry. When I am viewing, I'm not viewing full of romanticism. I'm watching every scene, every plot device to see if it holds truth in the sequencing. I'm not speaking of a perfect world where no one is hurt and it's all sunshine and roses. How much pain does the auxiliary/expendable support cast have to bear to advance / strengthen the dynamic of the mls 'destined to be eternal lovers'?
In the future eps, if this has impactful bearing on the story other than what it appears to be now, fine. As at today's date, we had two people, living in their hurt, from ep 1, being a support system to each other, fulling a role no one else could and they aren't given moments of real joy. While the antagonists continue on.
I feel for Wen Shu at this stage more than anyone else.
Lastly, plz don't think this is an attack on your perspective. I respect it. I am just frustrated at the thought of this may be done for no other reason than shock and to create viewer response.
I'm sorry but he was deeply depressed. He could not switch and be all happy and in love in one night. Depression…
I am not judging your idealism but curious about your concept. So please bear with me and this is not an attack.
He was trapped in his love and with his guilt. So when the ex died, couldn't he be free to find love again? Notice the connection between Wen Shu and himself. They were helping each other in their pain. As much as he loved his brother, he felt a deeper connection for Wen Shu. Wen Shu became an real option to him. He just needed time to come to him whole and not holding on to any residual pain. They have been what the other needed from ep 1.
Personally, there are enough people who could have died instead of him. A whole lot. 2 particular males and 1 female if they want a true emotional scene that affects the both of them as brothers. The second couple were also viable options.
I do understand you ideology to a degree as he can exist painfree now but it leaves Wen Shu with no one to love. Again! My heart aches for him. He has already endured so much.
Pressure from his father for being gay. Not loved by his father and considered less than. Spending money behind someone who ignores him and chooses his brother. All of this he does quietly and with dignity.
So, yeah, kill someone else plz.
For me, the writers vision was brutal and myopic. All to portray the mls deep love? There are better ways. I am tired of writers who sacrifice people to propel a plot.

Took me a while to remember.
Chat and the father deserves all that is coming to them.
Eum and Grandma actually brought the waterworks out.
Phob needed to hear that the change is doing some good despite the new faces of corruption.
I applaud the writers for showing a balanced pov of the change.
1. The ep length is working in its favor.

LQ beaming with pride.
Finally!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm just supposing he has money. He only spends his salary on soup, congee and stuffed toys. His brother assumes he has some put away, so 🤷🏽♀️.
Imagine Fanfan's thinking, "I get to do what you keep dreaming of." 😈 So worth the wait.
What made the entire family feel that it's okay to barge in like that? 🤣🤣
Fanfan, keep you money and run away with LQ. None of them are worth it. Not even the mother.
The brother and ex needs to be hit by a train...
I would pay just to see ep 11, now. 🤣🤣
