Well I checked for you then.

Actually it lists 12 episodes but if you make your mouse hover over the miniature for episode 12 it says "episode 12-13 Finale"

So basically it's two episodes stuck together.

They're just probably cut it in two parts for reruns.

Finally binging episode 9 and 10 with english subs.

Initially I was planning on watching episode 9 this evening ( Love in the Moonlight airs in the middle of the afternoon where I live), than 10 on Tuesday morning and 11 on Tuesday evening since normally the subs comes out in the late afternoon.

It was a perfect plan.

EXCEPT, that I'm 100% sure I'm gonna spoil myself today's episode so fudge it! I watch both, so that I can enjoy episode 11 without subs with everyone... Hopefully. Got stuffs to do during the day, dunno if I'll be back in time to watch the episode...

Probably gonna avoid the comment section though since it's gonna be filled with spoilers and I'd rather discover things on my own for the last episodes.

The number of episodes isn't that important isn't? Everything is gonna come out on the same day anyway. It's either 12 ep with the last episode being 2 hours or 13 episodes with episode 12 and 13 aired back to back.

Same here. Didn't watch it for years for exactly the same reasons.

I'm on episode 5 though and I think lots of these bad comments could have been avoided if people knew from the start what they were getting into.

It promises a love story à la Bodyguard between Yoon Ah and Ji Chang Wook... But we've barely seen her at all so far.
Also, let's be real it's like the show is selling us a Noona romance. I guess Yoon Ah appears more after a while since he seems to be fascinated with her dancing over noodles ( or he was BORED as fudge who knows...) but by the time she started to really be relevant, I wouldn't be surprised that people had already dropped the show.

Not that it's bad... But rather because the first few episodes just don't deliver on the initial promise so to speak.

I haven't watched Tempted:

https://kisskh.at/26230-love-game-the-great-seduction

But I did watch one of the last scenes and there's no tragic ending in that one. The ML reunites with the FL.

Also there was this movie years ago called Cruel Intentions:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruel_Intentions

In it the ML dies, but you definitely root for him at some point when he admits his wrongdoings and tries to reverse the damage he's done. Sadly it's too late. But the FL was rooting for him.

I understand you're not into red flag characters, but I personally enjoy watching red flags turning green in my fiction. That's the whole appeal of these type of stories. How the bad guy turns into a good one once he's met "the one".

I'm not saying it's realistic, of course, that never happens in real life, but it's a fantasy lots of people love, that's as old as times, even if it's not your cup of tea.

Personally I'm not angry per say... I'm just VERY IRRITATED.
For one simple reason, either she's really delulu, and I'm going to assume she's at least 100 years old because I'm sorry, I know a fair share of people who are 70 and older and who are neither oblivious nor clueless about what's happening around them. Honestly I find that making her delulu just because of her age is insulting.

Consequently my irritation doesn't come from her being delulu but rather from her PRETENDING she is delulu.

I'm not sure she knows her grandson is gay, but she sure does know he wants out of the marriage. She's pretending to be clueless about it because she probably doesn't want to pick a side between her son and her grandson. She's out of the loop, everybody is pampering her, she can keep her good life while her son is losing his hair and her grandson wallows in misery.

My take is, she only cares about her own bottom. She doesn't give a fudge about what's happening as long as she can keep her personal comfort and peace of mind.

I've seen that type of behavior playing a lot in real life. People know there's something going on, but instead of asking, they just look the other way because once you open that door, you get entengled in the mess as well and everybody has enough sh** to deal with already, no need to add others on top.

EXCEPT, Granny basically does nothing except enjoying her old days so a little bit of attention to her grandson wouldn't hurt but she's selfish.

Oki doki ^^ I'll be more optimistic then. 😁

Yeah I know... But since he finished before, doesn't it mean he's got less scenes? Hence my sad conclusion.
This being said, I'm still hopeful, but I'm not risking my heart. I'll wait until it's fully aired... whenever that happens.

I'm tired of Netflix filming stuffs and then shelving it for more than a year after it's already completed. This is getting tiresome.

Nah. In the novel he does start as a villain but by the end he falls in love with the girl he seduced and changes for the better only to die miserably... Does he deserve what he got? Sure but since the girl he fell in love with, also forgives him, most readers/viewers would root for his redemption.

Anyway, if he finished filming before others... that doesn't bode well sadly. Will have to wait to see have it ends then but I'm not hopeful.

Oh well thank you. I will NEVER watch it then. Real life already depresses me enough as it is.

"I would prefer Sankaew and Sasin dies, then the wealth can perish and they all wallow in sorrow. Then Pin can be a loyal bride to a dead man."

LOL I had written that before 🤣🤣🤣

I want my happy ending but if they don't deliver on that front, let them do a Double suicide. That would be the BEST REVENGE EVER.
Let them all spend the rest of their lives in regret. 😈😈😈

What are you guys talking about? There's already some K dramas with female Gumihos:

Also upcoming:

The only drama with a male Gumiho I can think about is this one:

https://kisskh.at/62151-frightening-cohabitation

Yet another adaptation of the French novel "Les Liaisons Dangereuses"... Man... That novel doesn't really end well for the ML doesn't it?

I love Ji Chang Wook but if they don't change that ending, that's a pass for me. I don't do tragedies.

Dropped.

Read a couple of reviews to know that this is basically a tragedy from start to finish. A beautiful one for sure, but not something I honestly can sign up for.
I don't do tragedies. Real life already sucks. I can occasionally do sad endings as long as the journey is a happy one, but sadly, this is not the drama for that.

It's too bad because I really wanted to watch that one especially for Lee Joon Gi... but I'd rather not traumatize myself. The last drama trauma I had was from a C Drama that ended badly... but the whole drama wasn't as sad as this one and even though I knew the ending before I started, it still hit me very hard. Here we are more than two years later and I still regret watching this drama. I haven't watched anything with a sad ending since.

I'm not gonna repeat that mistake twice.

On the verge of dropping.

Is it good: YES

But I feel depressed watching this. I know of the sad ending of course... But I wasn't expecting the drama to have that layering feeling of utter despair and sadness throughout. Lee Joon Gi is fantastic but my heart breaks every time we see him. I understand why people are talking about K trauma.

Like It reminds me of my Dearest. I watched the first part... but couldn't get myself to watch the second part because as good as that drama was... I just couldn't handle the sadness of it all.

I'm giving myself a couple of days to decide... But honestly I'm not sure. It just feels like these past few years, the real world has become so depressing, I'm not sure I can stomach any form of tragedy in my dramas. I need sweets, sugar and a healthy dose of happy endings and this drama is far from it...

But on the other side, I can't deny I'm hooked. So I'm torn. 😭😭😭

I guess binging this and not watch it weeks after weeks during the hype do change your perception of the drama.

Do I find it better than most Korean bland, sappy poorly acting BLs out there? Definitely.

But is it a good story? Well err... I'm not sure. Instead of "Secret Relationships", I would call this "A tale of 2 psychos" or "A Good Psycho, A Bad Psycho, A Non-Psycho and a cute guy caught in-between though WHY are they all obsessed with him is a mystery" (yeah I know the last title is a bit long.)

I went into this one not knowing anything about the plot. The ratings used to be way higher than this, but it has greatly diminished in the last few months... probably due to more recent viewers like me.

I'm not really sure how I feel about this one... I don't hate it. But I don't like it either...but again I had all episodes available contrary to people who had to speculate for weeks about how cray cray they both were.

You know in a typical classic K drama we would have witnessed a redemption ark for Su Hyeon and I would be rooting for him instead of the obvious right choice that was Seong Hyeon. My drama red-flag lover self might be unconsciously disappointed I didn't get to watch this ship sail... because do I love my red flags turning green ( something that let's be real... is only possible in dramas).

Maybe that's why I can't like this show I don't know. Given its short length, there could be no satisfying ending except for that one... BUUUUUUUUUUT I want the hate to love, enemies to lover, the toxic overly possessive jealous red flag turning into goop and having to learn to humble himself to get his boy. Also I will always be weak against overly possessive male leads. I know it's toxic, but sorry, not sorry, this is my drama jam.

I know my heart should be satisfied with the ending, but I must be into sadomasochism, I will forever mourn that the Su Hyeon - Da On ship never was to be. Seong Hyeon is a good guy... but in dramaland, I will always root for the red flag as long as he genuinely cares ( but just doesn't know how to express his love in a healthy way), isn't overly manipulative and doesn't cross the rape line. In my head, I'm creating a longer timeline in which Su Hyeon properly redeems himself and wins back Da On who realizes it was always him, and not the other psycho. I'm sorry Seong Hyeon. You're "too good" for a drama. I WANT THE TEA.

Anyway, I kept watching because of the two nutcases. Otherwise Da On and Seong Hyeon were just too bland as characters. Could have been better with Su Hyeon as the main center of the story. I wouldn't have preferred a drama focusing on his journey to win back the blank canvas that is Da On whom he was strangely obsessed with... But the length didn't make this possible. Sad for what it could have been.

You're welcome. I mean whether it mars how you perceive the drama is more personal. I totally get it. There are some very flawed dramas that I personally REALLY loved so when I see people complaining about the flaws... I'm like "Yeah I see, they're right... But I don't care anyway because I loved these shows too much for me to downrate because of said flaws"... But this is one case for which sadly it didn't play that way for me.

My God... I HATE So's Mother. I hope she dies a horrible death.

I know I've signed up for torture but my heart is breaking for So. I can't 😭😭😭

A satisfying resolution is when it happens ONSCREEN not OFFSCREEN. Also you don't know what I want, as evidenced by your comment about the parents but I won't pursue that point further.

What annoys me is the people's opinion police, arguing endlessly about their favorite actress dramas and wanting people to like everything about her shows. Well, this is not going to happen. I didn't say the drama is bad, I said it turned out disapointing. Hype and good marketing does a lot to bring people in and has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of a drama. That's a stupid argument.

But of course Fanatics are gonna complain about every single negative comments because they take it as personal.

Well I'm sorry. I'm not into fanwars and I hate zealots who can't remain level-headed about random anonymous comments online about a TV SHOW.

I'll be grateful if you could block me. I don't want to add another person on my blocking list, I have already too many overzealous fans on it, I don't want to make it longer.

This was my very first K drama. Thanks for the link!
