Hopefully this will be a better project and production for Ongsa because "The Cursed Love" was a shit show. The first episode started off decent enough but it went downhill from there. Hopefully he can show off more of his acting skills in this one. Inn is doing just fine and the reason I'm giving this a chance.
Dang...his mom gonna be a problem throughout the entire series, causing harm and trauma the whole time just to get a full redemption in the last 10 mins of episode 10, isn't she?
Dang they are getting together this early? We're about to go through a whole 6 episode arch of pain and torture before they POSSIBLY get their happy ending in the last 1-2 episodes aren't we?
A good story can be told in only 6 episodes. I mean look at the Heated Rivalry notoriety.
I mean, I don't think anyone is denying it had explicit sex scenes. The question is whether that automatically makes the entire story porn.
To me, porn is when the sexual content is the main point. Heated Rivalry had explicit scenes, sure, but it also spent a lot of time on the relationship, character development, and the actual story. Calling the whole thing "just porn" feels like reducing it to one aspect while ignoring everything else.
Watching Heated Rivalry needs no excuse for me to watch, and I'm not ashamed to be one of its millions of people that watched it. Hell, the most watched, highly rated episode of the season, and even on IMDb before it was down-voted by homophobes had a perfect 10 score and it had absolutely zero "explicit, drawn-out, simulated sexual acts designed for viewer gratification"

That's your only justification? Then all renaissance paintings, Greek statues, women wearing swimsuits on the beach is porn. While you're at it, any men without a shirt on is sexual too so that's also porn.
This rating is pissing me off😒. I am seeing BL that doesn’t even make sense been rated higher than this🤧(while…
Yeah I noticed a lot of shows that have "star power" or just included peoples favorite couples immediately get 10 when the plot is abysmal and shows with great plot and storyline barely make it just because there isn't enough kinship. It kills me sometimes.
It's 2026 and we're back to the "no kissing, all abut the camera angles" kiss scenes...I'm gonna wait until all the episodes are out and binge if comments here say it's worth it.
One thing that surprised and also brought me the most joy is the close friendship He Chu San and Lu Guang Ming eventually develop in the novel. It was freaking hilarious.
