for people who are confused why her dad died he died because he sucked the snake venom from her daughter feet…
Yes, after I watched that scene I had to think about it for a few minutes until I realized what happened.
In an earlier scene it's explained that his character had severe gum disease, so when he tried to suck the venom from her ankle where she'd been bitten, the venom penetrated his diseased gums, got into his system and killed him.
Yes! A role reversal of sorts would be fun to watch. I read a translation of what I think was a fairly recent…
But the "bratty son" concept is not what I had in mind.
Mafia is good, though. Or something equally as dark.
I mean Noeul as a character who's really antagonistic, someone who can hold his own against Boss - both of them dangerous, both volatile, both with an IDGAF attitude (like Noeul in his S2 videos), and extremely passionate.
Have any of you seen Noeul's S2 rap videos? They are so good, and his character in those videos is the polar opposite of the characters he plays in his BL series.
I want Noeul to play THAT kind of character in his next series with Boss. I want them to CLASH and FIGHT and ARGUE and CHALLENGE EACH OTHER and then MAKE UP in the most intense way possible.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give him a major attitude, make him a red flag.....SOMETHING to add more spice to his on-screen personality, because he and Boss really need to break out of this rut they might potentially get stuck in, character-wise.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out his music videos:
The whole subplot with the insane mother, absentee father and infrequently-appearing brother has been strange and off-putting throughout the whole series. The last episode didn't help that impression at all. UGH.
Other than that, the series was decent. Not great, but decent.
But it left a lot of unanswered questions at the end and felt completely unfinished.
Horrible acting, brainless story, UNRELENTING product placement for a certain drink. It's ridiculous.
Was this supposed to be a soft launch of Net / JJ?
If so, then I hate to say it, but they need to go back to the drawing board because there is no chemistry at all between them.
Also........ filming in a narrow vertical format is infuriating. It's SO difficult to watch it in that format.
And the the crappy ending is just.....UGH.
It's an exceptionally rare event when I am so ticked off and disappointed about a series. But you can't even call this a "series." It was just a poorly filmed, poorly acted clickbait advertisement for a drink product.
The scene in the hotel where YF is explaining her actions to SY, and why she chose to leave, explaining about the stalking and sexual assault and how no one believed her or supported her......and how fearful she was and disgusted with herself / how ashamed she felt (because she'd been brainwashed to believe that)......
I'm upset with the writers for not letting HER choose when / how to be kissed and touched in that scene. I think after explaining everything that happened, her character should have been written in a way that gave her some of her power back, as far as intimacy. I think the writers should have written Sang Yan - specifically in that scene - as waiting until she initiated any touching.
I'm not saying what did happen in the scene was written badly at all. In fact, I loved it. But I wish the writers had let HER choose to initiate, instead of SY.

They used my synopsis! I hope people find it more helpful than the previous (incorrect) one someone else wrote.
In an earlier scene it's explained that his character had severe gum disease, so when he tried to suck the venom from her ankle where she'd been bitten, the venom penetrated his diseased gums, got into his system and killed him.
But they did! Ha!
It's WELL past time for a new direction.
Mafia is good, though. Or something equally as dark.
I mean Noeul as a character who's really antagonistic, someone who can hold his own against Boss - both of them dangerous, both volatile, both with an IDGAF attitude (like Noeul in his S2 videos), and extremely passionate.
Toward the end it just became bizarre, and there was some truly gratuitous and frankly, gross, stuff in some scenes. It was......ugh.
And the squeezed-in-at-the-last-moment sub-sub-sub plot with Sangmin's mother / parents........????? Uhhhh......... ???? Just weird and unnecessary.
I gave it a 4.
Such a shame, because the first half was kinda cute and enjoyable.
