I’ll be waiting for your final summary first, I think 😊 I’m not really wanting to watch any traumas for a bit. I already know of one piece of 🥺…seemed unnecessary to me. Though I know the MLs have amazing chemistry together. I saw it in the first 5 episodes and in the edits.

This is what I’m waiting for before I begin. I’ve been lurking in the comments and on social media edits every week, just waiting for this to end before I start it.

Whatever rage-baiter 🙄✌🏽

There Krit goes again… He seriously gets on all my nerves. I just hear Mariah Carey’s ‘Why you so obsessed with me?!’ every time he opens his mouth about- or to- Rin. 🙄 I mean, they REALLY want us to root for the second couple and hope for their happiness or something, with how much screen time they give them. I couldn’t care less about them. PLEASE stop giving them so much screen time! These two people who think they are the center of Rin’s world. Likely because of their own guilt. Krit is an ass. Period. And Mochi is no better. I dislike these characters so much. I skipped their solo scenes (and moved at a fast speed through anything with them in it). Like, I couldn’t push the 10-sec skip fast enough!

I am NOT looking forward to their ‘redemption’ arc (you know, the usual- where they realize what asses they’ve been and they all apologize and hug or shake or whatever, and then they all smile and become besties again because forgiveness and friendship is love and love always wins… or whatever 🙄) PLEASE let me be wrong!

I wanted to give Khobfa a hug this episode. And throw a few punches.

After this week’s episode I have a new theory: Khobfa wasn’t cursed with bad luck at all. It’s a coincidence, but since Rin didn’t know him, he assumed his curse worked. (This reminds me of ‘Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice But To Kiss’.).

I’m wondering if mom will come back and set him straight because he didn’t even have his powers or whatever yet, or his Gransmother will. I really enjoy his interactions with this maternal figures and Rin, especially Grandma.

Nope. I’m gonna keep this warning here for everyone. ✌🏽

🤣

Right. I agree with you. They’ll likely make up parts of the story like they did for Takara’s Treasure. Half the scenes in that drama were not in the manga at all. I recently purchased an English print of that and…yeah… It’s definitely not the same.

There are more chapters to the manga. Chapters 1 and 2 take up to episode 3 (they’re both 32 pages each). I can see how they could make 10 episodes from the rest of the material I’m reading. Chapter 3 could easily be 2 episodes (it’s 42 pages), and Ch 3.5 could be 1-2 episodes (it’s 8 pages, but the content…). Chapter 4 is 42 pages, and 4.5 is 14 pages. It really depends on how they choose to divide the scenes into these 25 minute episodes.

Edit:
Actually, I have NO idea how much they’ll censor or alter in some way Chapters 3-4.5…..… They’re…….explicit……. If they keep this pretty light, I also don’t see how they’ll make 10 episodes from these chapters.

Yeah…So I read the manga…

There are 4 chapters and 2- .5 chapters (3.5 and 4.5). From the latter part of Chapter 3 on, I’m not sure how they’ll represent the content, or if they intend to alter the story like they did for Takara’s Treasure. It’s…explicit, to say the least. Nonidea how they keep this pretty sanitized when half the story is, well, NOT!

That part 👆🏽(all of it). His face wrinkles when he crinkles his forehead or smiles- that works against him quite a bit. Nor sure what the casting directors see in him… Perhaps it’s the willingness to do a BL in the first place…? But I’m sure there are other actors who fit the look more appropriately. The uke in ‘Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice But to Kiss’ for example. He fits the look well.

It becomes predictable to an exhaustive extent. His character was like this in Takara’s Treasure, too. (A drama I love despite what I feel is a mid-cast in the uke). Though the seme was not outwardly affectionate, he still very clearly treated him differently and more preferentially than anyone else. The forced naivety from a person who looks older was a bit much for me at times. But he’s been paired with semes that are interesting enough to keep me watching. So far him and his friends keep me coming back every week.

No manga. It’s a Light Novel. I read it here: https://novema.jp/book/n1757180

It’s only in Japanese.

I’m glad others agree with me about the mis-cast. I felt this way when he was cast, and shared that in the comments forever ago. I also felt this way with him as the uke in Takara’s Treasure. They need to stop casting him as an uke in these young roles. He doesn’t look young. He looks older than the seme’s. Maybe an office worker uke would be better for him, as long as the seme looks older too. It’s the age difference appearance that makes it difficult for me. In this case, he is younger than the seme in real life (crazy, I know). Genetics.

Dear Japan, please stop casting him as a high schooler and college freshman. Viewers aren’t buying it.

No; I don’t keep a list of these- I’m not THAT organized in my viewing. I watch, review and comment. And then move on. I have a pretty extensive watch list.

I’d suggest trying it out on some dramas you may be interested in that show iQIYI as a platform that you currently don’t have access to. This particular drama is the only one that has been blocked from my usual route using iQIYI to watch- most dramas are also available on other platforms I subscribe to, making my need to VPN low- unless the other platforms have bad subtitles.

I subscribe to Viki, YouKu, Tencent, MangoTV, Netflix, Gaga, Amazon Prime TV, and Disney+. Rarely can I not watch a drama due to georestricting, but some kdramas, Thai-dramas, drama, and I believe Taiwanese dramas, have required a VPN to access over the years I’ve been watching. There’s a Korean BL I watched very recently (The Prosecutor’s Proposal) that I remember being georestricted on Gaga for my region- I had to use a VPN set to Thailand to watch it there, but it was available geo restriction free on Viki, so I ended up watching it on Viki because the back and forth with the VPN was unnecessary.

Often times, you need someone to share (or find on an internet search) a link to the first episode or landing page for iQIYI and turn on the VPN to see it. Again, it’s not that serious for me to watch this particular drama on iQIYI since I have YouKu.

Not really, though it has some comedic moments- from the trailer.

So I never watched all the dramas that have been georestricted to certain countries, huh? 🙄 Are you new? People do it all the time with VPNs. I have done it on Gaga, iQIYI, Viki, and Tencent. What are you TALKING about🙄. How do you think those dramas banned from China get watched by those in China?

I use HotSpot Shield for iPhone. It has many different countries.

The subtitles here are way better, thanks! 😊

I’ll give it a look. Thanks! 😊

The number of streaming platforms I have just to keep up with all these dramas- the worst is MangoTV. Mostly because of the horrible Ai-generated subtitles. I want to watch Royal Betrothal but I KNOW those subtitles are gonna have me 🤔🤔🤔
