Ep 12 contains one of the STUPIDEST and most infuriating lines I have ever heard in a drama, BL or otherwise.
After beating and psychologically abusing his son for YEARS, continuously guilt-tripping him and ranting about how he will RUIN the rest of the family if he tries to be happy and live his own life, blaming his son for his wife's death, ordering his men to follow his son everywhere, imprisoning him inside the house, trying to kill his son's lover, not really giving a crap that his son tried to slit his own throat, vowing to stalk his son for the rest of his life to make sure he's complying with the father's orders, and forcing his son into a loveless marriage despite knowing he's gay.......the father looks at a photo of his dead wife and says:
"Soon our son will be normal, right?"
I about lost it when I heard that. Un-fucking-real.
his new scandal https://www.tonboriday.com/2025/10/did-chen-bolin-and-hsiu-chieh-kai.html
He's in his 40s now, and the age cut off for mandatory military service in Taiwan is 36. So he must have done that years ago and is only just now being caught.
Pin has turned out to be pretty selfish. Knowing Saenkaew is gay, knowing he is already in love with someone else, not her, yet STILL insisting he marry her no matter what. And her willingness to subject him to violence at the hands of his father so he is FORCED to marry her is just mindboggling.
She says she's doing it to "save her dad," but really, she's doing it because she can't stand losing the fantasy about Saenkaew that she built up inside her head. She's a petulant child.
"Can't you just.....NOT be gay? Can't you just love me? Can't you just have sex with me? WHY ARE YOU GAY??? WHY CAN'T YOU CHANGE??? Well, even if you WON'T change, I still won. You're still MINE and not HIS."
I really hate this kind of asshole-girlfriend trope.
There are so many factors that make someone attractive besides just looks. Kindness, a sense of humor, confidence,…
To each his own, of course.
But IMO as an average-looking person, it's actually nice when fictional characters who are NOT of "the beautiful people breed" find love and happiness as main characters, or at least second couple characters.
It actually adds relatability to the story and makes it easier for me to invest in it as a viewer.
Is it a trend these days for the wardrobe people of various series to NOT iron the hanger lumps out of shirts?? I see this so often it's unreal.
Ep 1 @ the 30:18 mark.
--------------------------
Other than that, though, I am enjoying this series. It's a lot funnier than I expected it to be! And I like the chemistry between Ya and Apo.
The first time I saw the actors Big and Park in a series as a paired couple, I highly doubted they would work. But somehow, they did. I like them better in this series, though.
And is it my imagination, or is Big getting more handsome? He's one of those guys who I think will become even better looking as he ages, even into his Silver Fox era.

Kindness, a sense of humor, confidence, shy smiles, an open mind/open heart, and a positive outlook on life are just a few examples.

And that's not good.
"Doh Kyung Soo's clear eyes and innocent smile perfectly matched the image of Johan we had envisioned."
....gave me MAJOR chills. It sounds like the series will be super intense.
