It's good to see that someone else feels the same. When I saw the rating I was a bit shocked because the first…
I too was shocked by the rating. However, for me I just felt like “yet another Thai BL of the factory production line”, with pretty leads, boring tropes, “staring with no facial expressions or indeed emotions”. But hey, one episode down, so open minded to see where this one takes us.
It was just okay for me. Nothing particularly new or exciting by way of the script - just the usual tropes. Acting from leads felt stiff at times but ok. The pool scene was uncomfortable “I’m reading my lines” viewing. Let’s see how it unfolds.
Utterly sublime. As I said in one of my previous posts. No one... and I mean no one, by way of country in this here universe, thinks or can tell a story like the Japanese. Their mindset and thinking is truly unique and totally off the scale. They rightly and unashamedly own every essence of their culture and stay true to their core values. They continue to blow my mind with their storytelling for a reason. That whole conversation at the table between father and son. Honestly, tell me a writer or country who would come up with such thinking and indeed such a twist?
I've adored this series. It truly warrants high praise in terms of writing, storytelling, narrative, directing and cinematography. I'll truly miss you, but not the sadness and heartbreak.
I'm adoring this drama. So here for this. However, considering what I've heard about the book, that kiss was utter pants! #JustSayin'. If you're going to commit to the narrative of a story South Korea, bloody commit.
This is a brilliant watch. So quirky, funny and sexy. Mu Yeong repeating his name over and over again to his friend had me in stiches. Such a good watch and very refreshing.
Now this looks good. Straight in there, no faffing around with a boring opening episode. Quirky, adult theme with sexual feelings and horniness discussed like most adult do. Sweet. Like it and especially liking Gu Mu Yeong's character. He's going to be such a minx to nail his man. Excellent first episode.
I find this drama a truly delightful watch. Love how our three main leads have such very different personalities - works well as a narrative. However, at times I find the flow a bit off, by way of cutting into new scenes sharply and find myself wondering what's happening now - where are we? Oh right! However, overall, such a very satisfying and impressive watch.
I personally can't wait for Cha Jung Woo to find his voice - it's in there. Something tells me he's going to be very honest and direct with his thoughts and feelings. Those lines are going to be awesome and I'm here for it. I think we'll all agree Kim Jung Hyun is a possessive manipulator whose about to lose control of his little puppy as he re-enters stardom with Han Tae Young having his back.
Episode 7 was so very sweet with such beautiful cinematography. BUT... I would had loved it more without the slow…
Your third paragraph is really sad to read in this day and age. I'm actually stunned and find myself surprised, especially when you consider actors like Perth Stewart who played Ken in Kinnporsche who is half-Thai and half-Australian.
Anyway, for me, I thought the first 5 episodes of this drama were not up to much by way of storytelling and advancement in the narrative. However, really enjoyed episodes 6 and 7, primarily for the relationship between our two leads - the drama really seemed to redeem itself.
I dropped this drama at EP 32. Just couldn’t get past the FL’s hideous, lack of emotional intelligence and non-existent chemistry with the ML. No shows of affection or any kind of intimacy. Just weird, off putting viewing.
What did I just watch? It felt like three separate dramas in one episode. Mum. Dad and hubby and then all of a sudden Nhai appears and then mums back on the scene. What was that? Where was the flow of the narrative, plus did I hear that whole mum scenario happened 5-year ago. #Confused.com.
I have a feeling we're going to be going around in circles for a while yet with our MLs. #Sigh. Move forward already! Have to say RJ is an excellent actor and a joy to watch on screen - so wise for his age.
Is Janice Wu better at romcoms? Because she seems quite stiff here in an action thriller when playing a more mature…
To be honest, I really don't know. I haven’t watched her in anything else. There's no doubt in my mind she can act, I just really didn't like her character at all in this drama, to the point where I've got to EP 33 and have no interest in seeing it to its finale, which is so unlike me.
For me, this was the best episode to-date. Storyline was nice around how much Yai misses his mum and the scene in the restaurant with Mangkorn’s mum - also liked their backstory as kids.
I've absolutely adored this series - a breath of fresh air. Rain and Phayu's story was more enjoyable for me, not only in terms of their amazing chemistry, but also in their acting as two people truly in love. As much as I enjoyed Sky and Prapai's story line for its depth and rawness, I just didn't feel their chemistry in the acting. Too many episodes felt like they were simply acting out their lines.
I really didn't enjoy the final episode - yes, I really felt the emotions throughout the whole episode of Sky's trauma, but I just didn't feel that Peat and Fort delivered it well. Again, I just felt they were acting their lines. When Sky was telling Prapai his story, Fort's face was just expressionless, calm, almost ethereal, whilst stroking Peat's neck. If your boyfriend had just told you he'd be abused and gang raped, at the very least you'd be raging to kill the abusers and literally in floods of tears at the injustice. It was just so weird and then they ended up smiling and laughing. WTAF!
Also in the condo, why didn't Skye ask Prapai why did you give them the key card? Why did you throw me away to my ex? However, I did absolutely love when Prapai said he'd cry for Sky, that really touched me.
I felt the writing especially and acting of this episode was just bad. However, overall, I loved this drama.
Yeah, I think that's why I'm missing any real chemistry between the leads. ML is fully on board and FL is just…
Yes, agree, she definitely has evolved and grown up. I especially liked how she handled the mother. I just can’t get my head around how much screen time she has as opposed to our leads.
