Very true!! The series embraces that darkness and goes down that rabbit hole and like you say for fans like us who do enjoy good toxic, Double Helix gives us what we wanted. Original was about only 70 minutes of filming; with DH they gave like almost 9 hrs of toxic crazy insane depth of the characters and story! Someone's doing something right on the remakes haha

Remake of A Round Trip to Love (2016) .....since I loved Double Helix I went off to watch the original again and it so so mild vs the remake LOL 10 years makes a big diff on a remake :) Double Helix is on my re-watch list also! Good toxic times!

yea agree, with that ending I almost feel like there was going to be a S2 or a spin off? I would love more about the goblin and fox worlds! Cheoyong seems strong, no nonsense, I liked that character.

Re-watch. Saw this 7 mos. ago and wanted to see it again. Some flaws obvy but I actually enjoyed it more the second time cause I got a handle on the interactions of the relationships, so again it was a fun unserious good time watching and it entertained! :)

Well.....I liked it! I vibed straight into this :) Love the actors, liked the progression of the story and romance buildup, heavy content addressed in 6 short eps about the industry and it's ugly issues but I was rooting for these 2 dudes all the way! I loved that flower covered wall, that scene was visually beautiful! The staged kisses, omg I was laughing and looking forward to the next faked one, it became a fun thing to me in this series. Flaws, sure, but I was totally entertained! (Many are saying this is AI in comments elsewhere? lol) 'Net says real people, real production but when I do research the vagueness of cast and show info etc is strange?? oh well..) I had fun with it, would love a S2 also!! Would love to see them in the future and throw in some heavier romance and jealousy and more, it would work for me.

Ep 2 and still enjoying it with some laughs from this episode. Leng! Damn :) Loved he got the haircut lol and that oh so sus look from P'Sri when he came in at the end....what's up between them? hmm

Whew, oldie I caught on Gaga. I didn't vibe with this and it felt icky and goes dark pretty fast. Only time I smiled was at the very end actually....I didn't like any of the characters and the story, pffft. 1.5 speed wasn't fast enough to get thru this comfortably for me even :)

yea, agree, more like 32 lol

Good, enjoyed it. Oldie from 1999, but showed up on Gaga and I liked it in general, Nice thing was Tadashi got to be happy and was smiling in the end. The actors put a smile on my face, I liked all the characters :)

Just watched eps 10 and 11 and OH COME THE HELL ON!! I can guess the last ep probably already so if I'm right then this took a crap turn. When He passed on I knew there was no romance in this story for Jaiyi. That took all the angst and fun out of this story for me. (I feel this show is the title: Smile After Tears and it is about learning to move on and live your life after a tragedy so?....bummer, I probably am getting a life lesson when I wanted a frickin' steaming romance) Let's see how finale goes down, I might not be smiling after it tho (I got that wasted potential feeling for this script lol)

Agree and LMAO off on how to ruin a good show...double agree lol

Good! For a short it doesn't have time for depth but the mains pulled off their building relationship well for me. Loved Jaeon, this character was aggressive right out of the gate. This made the tutor/student trope interesting to me. Aggressive character but shows a sweet side at the same time and it worked well for combatting against the more timid thru negative romance experienced tutor. Jaeon slayed Hyung quickly lol!

Gonna shoot you a fast message ;)

Re-watch, and it is still too cute!! Fun short! Wish I could get to know 2nd leads more in depth. More screen time for all :)

I liked it. It's a short.....only so much can get into a short so for what it was, this was good for me. Sweet between the 2 friends finally forcing themselves to open up and see where the chips land. I for one appreciated how fast they got thru it, I've watched 12 eps, 1 hr long each of 'pretend to not like him and suffer by his side' with repetitive long winded trauma drama like this lol so this was refreshing to have the whole drama completed at warp speed! I like both actors and thank heavens for Dojin :) He got it out on the table for these 2 cute idiots!

I agree, OH COME ON.... it was cute! For a short like this it kept me interested!!

I agree, definitely hope their script choice becomes more tension and angst! I would love to see them with a highly intense script cause they do work well off each other. One of the scenes that jumped out to me was in the rain, the interaction was charged, then a blurted out confession and I was really watching them and they pulled that off so well to me. (kinda like I loved Ticket To Heaven, it felt like the writers walked Gemini and Fourth into more mature roles finally, so with Almond and Progress I hope they get some good scripts that progress with them too.) Which tho it is a good thing that youngers are not doing very mature roles ig too lol

yea agree on the series is straddling that fence of good and meh lol. I think when uni starts is when the action starts in a relationship as most are older ya know.....the puppy love leading up to college is kinda dull but this series held my interest so far tho...I do like Almond and Progress!

Caught ep 11 and it was ok. For my preference the younger series are tough to accept in relationships for people going to different universities and diff majors etc. In real life they don;t stand a long term chance in hell probably lol but in the series I feel like they are gonna show them all cozy and working it out well in the finale and into their futures. Like the acting, all cast are growing up and experiencing more etc. so I feel like this series is basically ok.

Whew...I finished for the handsomeness of all the main actors :) Story rushed, obvy lower budget, jumbled direction with no high vampire intensity but I didn't dislike it either. Feel neutral on it. Had potential but no depth, nothing to really root for in this for me....so it just floats to the end and I smiled at the end and kinda thought, awww, cute. This was tough to get behind, it just felt dull, especially for a vampire theme. oh well...
