Don't worry... There's actually WORSE:

They just dropped a new preview...
Don't thank me. I'm cursing myself right now.

I think at the end of episode 6: 'cuz that would be a very cruel cliffhanger and we all know how these BLs are such a tease... So either the end of episode 6 OR they hint at it at the end of episode 6... and we'll have to wait until the beginning of episode 7 - so NEXT WEEK - to get it.

Little snippet for episode 5:

It's not gonna be all angst... Easy prediction, I think one of the scene in the trailer is gonna be in today's episode 😎 If you watched this scene, you know the one I'm talking about 🙄😆

All the shows - minus two - I'm currently watching are just insanely good... But even then, I'm still obsessed with this one. I don't know, this couple just grabbed my heart from the very first moment they met and didn't let go. It was a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong week BUT FINALLY some relief today.

Oh ^^ Thank you for the heads up ^^ Well I'll be patient until I get there than 😍

Lol... Well haven't watched it... just checked the ending.

Glad I did. I'm not really sure how I'll feel about the drama because so far most 2025 K drama turned out to be disappointments to me... So I'd rather be cautious... BUT now I mentally prepared for the WTF Chinese ending so at least I'm not gonna downrate this show only because the writers just couldn't come up with a satisfying explanation for their HE. I honestly don't get it. TvN has gotten used to make overly long-ass episodes why didn't they bother to add 20 extra minutes to give a proper explanation to this whathefuckery? But whatever I guess.

If I like the show, I'm gonna be team " Don't give a fudge, I got my Happy Ending"... But if I end up disliking it, this ending will just be added to the long list of " things I didn't like but this show is so shitty anyway that it doesn't really matter."

Finally started this one. I'm trying my best to space my Cheng Lei dramas as much as possible because there's no announcement date for his next dramas... esp. Mo Li which I'm most excited about.

Anyway, I wish we could have had Cheng Lei's dubbing, because his voice is slightly deeper than the one who dubs him here... But apart from that I'm hooked ^^

I'm loving the leads chemistry and the Romance which is a bit more fast paced than most C dramas I've seen so far. I think it was the right choice not to watch Shadow Love immediately after the Legend of the Female General aired because each show has its own charm but I would have kept on comparing.

I like cute Jin An... But I've got to admit, my favorite Cheng Lei (so far) is still the one in My Journey to You. He does "dark and brooding" to perfection and he's got the looks for it.

Well puppy Cheng Lei is still charming though.

But back to the main topic i.e the drama ( and not my Cheng Lei fangirling), I like that so far the emphasis is really on the main couple and not on the whole political aspect. That's one issue I have with these C dramas. I like their complexity plotwise but sometimes the political shenanigans take too much screentime esp. since it's really not the reason I tune in most of the time.

So far (ep 5) , the story focuses on the interactions between our leads and I'm in love.
Hope this momentum is kept throughout the show.

Personally I wanted to wait but I couldn't resist and kept on watching short scenes online... So I gave up and started it...

I would recommend to binge watch though, because it's really addictive and you've got to be a bit patient for the subs... This being said as LueurArcane wrote... Since it's 2 episodes a week, you don't have to wait that long so if you watch it, as long as you're watching something else, the wait is bearable.

You have to go on their Youtube page to check it out, for Ep 05 here's the direct link:

Sometimes there's some good surprises... It's just that one of this author has a bad precedent. In another drama, one the sweetest character didn't turn evil for long... But the damage caused by her (short) wandering into evil-land resulted... in the death of one character... So I personally don't want to get too attached until I see how Pin turns out.

Lol for the moment... Right now Pin is living the dream as she's about to be marry her kind good looking Prince but you can only know one's true character when things go to sh***.
I really want to believe she's not gonna turn nasty... but I'm not really hopeful based on the trailer.

Because let's be honest, this girl has gotten the short end of the stick in her family and finally FINALLY, something was going her way i.e being able to marry her crush... But as we all know as she will soon find out, the crush in question is never gonna be into her. Worse. it's with her COUSIN.

Well... In true lakhorn fashion, this doesn't bode well.

She might throw a tantrum and give them hell for one episode... Or she could turn pretty nasty and drag the angst until the last episode.
As I checked the scriptwriters... 2 have worked on "To Sir with Love", one also on "Past Life, Present Love" a drama I mentioned in a previous comment...

And let me just say that they sure know how to create MESSY DRAMA. I hope I'm wrong, but you can expect Pin ruining whatever plans Sasin and Saen have made together and only regretting when basically everybody is miserable as fudge.

Just a drop here to say that this is BY FAR the best BL GMMTV ever produced. Still looking for another gem like this from GMMTV, 2022 had some very good ones... but overall it's just mediocre after mediocre slop. Hopefully OffGun's next drama "Burnout Syndrome"by the same director delivers... I'm REALLY crossing my fingers here esp. since Jittirain is a hit or miss for me.

So based on this post... I think we can say this project is either completely cancelled or they need to re-film everything from the beginning given Lee Chae Min just blew up with Bon Appétit Your Majesty and so is very unlikely to take up any project in which he plays a second role UNLESS the ML is some more prestigious, established veteran actor for instance Hyun Bin or Ji Sung.

Man... Watching this is painful... I really hope Saen can finally breathe next week because so far, this poor rabbit is pressured by everyone including the one person he's falling in love with.

Finally started this after binging every single shorts I could find one One 31's channel. I honestly don't get some of the complaints I've read here about the acting, but to each one his own...

There's one thing that really annoys me though... and that's One 31 sticking with these non-HD cameras. Most BLs are filmed with HD cameras, it gives a cleaner, more vibrant and saturated image... on top of a way better sound and yet still most shows from One 31 are still filmed like this. Channel 3 does the same thing >_< I had the same issue with "To Sir With Love" ( I've yet to watch Law of Attraction and Spare me Your Mercy but since both are from One 31 I'm expecting the same issue).

It's too bad because honestly the setting is gorgeous as well as the costumes and both leads are eye-candies so they definitely deserve a cleaner photography instead of this grainy mess. Also, the sound. I know I'm repeating myself, but you can really tell when the sound is "clean" compared to how the sound is here.

I wish One 31 (and Channel 3 for that matter) would treat their dramas better and stop using their old device to produce. It's 2025 guys, stop it with the old grainy pictures! It's not like they can't do it either. They have a couple of Web dramas such as 9 Years of You that have clean photo and sound.

Well that's it for my rant. Apart from that, I'm just happy I found the trailer for this one. Most BLs with intriguing premises fail to deliver a semblance of entertaining and coherent plots and usually rely on lots of useless and boring fanservice which is why finding GOOD ONES is truly not an easy feat. But so far One 31 has produced quality BLs with a lakhorn flavor BUT without the excessive number of episodes which usualy ruins the genre.
This one is no exception.

Main couple has amazing chemistry. It's cheesy as fudge and you can smell the DRAMA coming. In short: It's perfect. 😎 Really anticipating their "forbidden love" era... Hopelly in 2 weeks at the latest ☺

Well there's ONE exception to that rule at least. In Past Life, Present Love
( a lakhorn starring Film), the main vilain...

- - SPOILER ALERT - -

ended up completely paralyzed, incapable of even uttering a word, completely ruined and powerless and on his way to prison watching a video of his own son, whom he "loved" and hurt for "good reasons", HAVING DIED because of him. In said video, the son left him a message in which he told his father he loved him but that he would never see him again as he couldn't accept how much of a dirtbag his father was and he was planning to reunite with the son he had with a woman his father tried to make abort ( they obviously used some tricks to keep the baby and the woman fled abroad because err... Daddy has a tendency to kill first and clean up later). Sadly the son in question was caught by his father at the airport as he was about to take a plane to England to reunite with his son and wife, got abducted by his Papa and trying to take control of the car he was in, caused a car crash and his soul left for the afterlife. (This is not a recommendation by the way, I didn't like it but it had some good stuffs notably the fate of evil guy).

The son's story is pretty tragic... But honestly seeing this poor excuse of a human being completely diminished, powerless, needing even people to wipe his a** and knowing he literally killed his own son was quite delightful. By the way, he had this son of his with the wife of his older brother, whom he raped on the day his older brother died by the hands of his lakeys... Also forced said wife to separate from her first son ( the one she had with her husband) and send him abroad and cut all contacts with him... otherwise he would KILL his nephew. Needless to say, she never managed to love the son she had with the rapist, and both sons were utterly miserable.

A truly delightful individual and I haven't even said half of it.


END OF SPOILER


So... As much as I agree with you... MAYBE, just MAYBE we might get a more satisfying outcome. After all, the drama I mentioned is also from One 31 so you never know.

I think you should put the spoiler tag. To Sir With Love had the same subtitle issue and most people came to watch it late. Still there are subtitles available unlike when Triage aired ( I had to go through loops to find that one so not complaining). Waiting a day is not a big deal. When these streaming websites didn't exist, I only had access to US shows and it took months for the seasons to be released in my country so honestly a day feels ridiculous.

I haven't started this series because I've been trying to resist... But it's official, I'm giving up... I've watched so many of the short scenes any way, if I keep on going like this, I'll have have watched the whole series without having officially watched it.

Also Saenkaew's father can die for all I care. Maybe he'll learn to have a bit more heart on his deathbed. Not a big loss as far as I'm concerned. I didn't understand the scene when Sasin confronted Saenkaew but it looked intense. He's a bit too hotheaded. From an outside perspective as a person who's watched without subs... I think that Sasin can accept San being with his cousin even if he inwardly already knows how he feels, but he can't bear the thought of San being with anybody else i.e there's a side of him that defends his cousin.. but another bigger part of him is simply jealous of the person he thinks San is cheating with i.e " even if it breaks my heart, I can accept you not being with me IF that person is my cousin but NOT if it's somebody else, you belong to me" type of thing.

I'm predicting their grand declaration of mutual love at the end of episode 6. Worst cliffhanger ever so that we can be tortured for a whole week, followed by one episode of them being happy, followed by a whole lot of angst and hopefully a happy ending. HOPEFULLY.

HAHA. I thought Prisoner of Beauty was okay-ish, not terrible but not as great as advertised... But you might enjoy When Destiny Brings the Demon. How do I know? Well... I didn't like it so since our taste rarely align, this one might be right up your alley 🤣

Ah sorry. Not to say there's anything wrong in thinking this series is above the rest of GMMTV usual mid shows, but I thought you really meant this was above the rest... I'm still wondering if I should bother to watch this one to the end. I'm pretty active on MDL, but have been avoiding most BL pages especially the one of most popular shows because the amount of ridiculous fangirling + ganging up on anybody not expressing the same devotion to these actors is just ridiculous. Nothing wrong with that... if you're young. But I'm too old for this sh** and the issue is trying to find a comment genuinely commenting about THE DRAMA and not about how the main pair is hot or is acting well or whatnot is really difficult. Tried this one because of the high rating and sadly... It's the usual mid-goop I've been avoiding like the plague.

Not sure I'm gonna finish... On one side, I'm past the halfway mark... On the other... I'm bored as fudge.

EDIT: Well nah. Not worth my time. That's another GMMTV drop. I've completed very few over the past 2 years. Most of their dramas are just bland and mediocre. I discovered them through Not Me... Which sort of set the standard but I didn't realize Not Me was the exception, not the rule.

Well I'm at episode 4.... And I'm not sure we can call this an exception. As usual from GMMTV, not bad, just mid.

Didn't know this drama existed...

Came on this page because of an EXISTING REVIEW....
Man... I'm so tired of that sh***
