Yeah. Thara is sus. But tbh, I don't think Nakan is a "good guy" at all.

- Thara probably want to save her life. She is dying apparently and probably think the golden blood can save her. Don't know why she doesn't take it directly now but it's probably because of the "21y old timer" that she talked about. She said he will not have any issue after that deadline but I don't think saw... It's too... convenient ? :P

- As for Nakan, we saw him feed on & kill humans like he doesn't care. They wouldn't have done that if he was a "hidden" good guy. Or even a grey character. As for why he said his plan all along with the Trojan Horse ? It's a running meme that villains always make grand monologue about their plans in front of the good guys. It's dumb as fuck but writers loves this apparently.

Well, Glad I didn't start this. :O

Another point: It said here that it's adapted from "Who Can Define Popularity?" by Tak Bon but as far as I know, this have nothing to do with this webtoon. Am I missing something or is it a subplot from this webtoon or bonus part ? I really can't remember this part in this webtoon (but I do acknowledge that I don't fully trust my memory).

This one is truly frustrating. I cannot empathize with either of them. He should make it absolutely clear that he loves the guy. It will end all the madness he is inflicting on himself. Clearly he doesn't value their friendship anymore - as he want to cut tie with him - so he have literally nothing to lose. As for the others guy, I don't know if he is truly clueless or he just doesn't want to face reality because he doesn't like romantically his friend. I cannot believe someone could be that clueless and the later is a bit cruel.

Either way, the only problem is that they don't talk about what matter and it has been 5 episodes of this. I already lost interest tbh but the worst part is that I'm 100% sure they will stretch that until the final episode when a simple: "I like you romantically. Do you like me ?" could have solve this from the beginning - but I guess they didn't have any others ideas for this drama so it would have been a one or two episode drama. But stretching this 8 episode is just madness. :x

Depend on the family. If they were nothing but toxicity & trouble, you need to cut them off. Will it be painful ? Sure but the amount of negative energy you gather just to try to keep them around isn't worth it. Here ? The father obviously have serious issue with money. He can still be a lovable father to her but he is still bad influence to her. He was convicted but still did it again. We can believe she tried to help him but he didn't want to change. Time to move on at this point.

Lastly, the family of choice (partner & friend) - for me - are just superior to any family by blood. I hope she did make that decision with the same mind set.

Basically, the FL isn't the fifth prince, he was. And ML wasn't the "lost prince" of the previous era, FL was that princess. So no, they are not related at all. They just switched their royal identity.

Pretty good. My favorite was the second one (Time Loop) but the third one was also very strong. I don't like tragedy in long length drama as I'm too attached to characters at this point that I cannot having them have such ending. So this very short format is perfect for me, I get the feel but not the trauma (like I did with "Mr. Plankton" recently).

Anyway, It's on youtube & it's free so if you hesitate to watch this, don't. You will lose nothing even if you end up disliking it. :P

I don't get it either. And it would be HELLA weird if it would make a move on her "sister". Like the scene where he was behind her and helped with her calligraphy, was I the only one thinking "No way in hell siblings would do that naturally!". I would have smacked my brother in the face to be honest. xD

As a character, I didn't have issue with Jiyu. She was fun and interesting. She also was actively positive in the main lead relationship & development.

In another hand, Chanyeong fall very short in that regard. His issue with his dad & tennis were... very badly written to say the least. Boring & unimaginative. He was never truly part of the Main Leads plotline. Basically, he was like a direct spin off in the actual drama as he took a good chunk of the screen time but was never introduced into the main plot line. And again, the romance between the two could be called cute but it was also very dull and very generic.

Well, Christianity sure wasn't friendly with the LGBT community but in the case of SK, it's more about their old Confucian PoV. It's also why this country is still very sexist (patriarchy is quite heavy in Confucian value even more than Christianity to be honest).

As far as I known Confucian tolerate homosexuality BUT same sex marriage is a BIG NO NO. But this is essential for the queer community to be accepted in any countries and unfortunately, SK seems REALLY not ready to change their view on same sex marriage any time soon.

I will wait for this one. 1936 ? Just before the WW II ? And the guy is in the navy ? I smell tragedy & sad ending. :P

It isn't that rare anymore. They even have (skipped) bed scene now. Recently, the side couple on "The Potato Lab" had that for exemple (Kiss & Bed scene). "The Divorce Assurance" have two side couple and I do think at least one of them will kiss in the end.

Probably a childhood crush.

The moment FL invited him on her pyjama party he had become one of her "girl". He isn't just friendzoned. He is not even considered a man at this point. :P

Cute story. But way too "safe" for my taste. They really wanted to not offend anyone. A bit of straight washing, no kissing or skinship but honestly I can deal with that. The thing that annoyed me the most is they "tried" to bring heavy subject and then mostly ignored them.

- Heesu struggle with his sexual identity ? He did "come out" to his sister & BF but it was so uneventful that it fell flat.
- The homoparentality from ML family was also brushed off and they didn't dare to scratch beyong surface level.
- No mention of homophobia either.
- And the whole BF & his dad issue ? Unresolved in the end.

So yeah, it's a light & easy watch. But they just dodged everything they tried to bring. Don't try to find something deep with this one for sure.

Hmm.. Can someone explain to me why K-Drama have sometime a warning at the beginning that it's a work of fiction like this one ? :O It doesn't seem to be absolute as I don't remember seeing this in EVERY K-Drama that are fiction.

In my country, it's the opposite. They always warning us IF it's based on a real story, not the others way around - as being a fiction is the default mode.

Decent. Some funny & sweet moment but also some boring & annoying one. The few last episodes were really hard for me to finish. Didn't help that the potato lab plotline wasn't my cup of tea at all.

7/10

Yeah it doesn't make sense especially when the "kid" is older (30y old real life) than the "elderly man" (28y old). For age gap to create real drama they need to include real minor in the cast. Not that it doesn't disturb any people when they are all major but it's in a lesser extend.

Wow. I loved it. And the OST at the end of this episode ? Soooo good.

Anyway, the actors are still awesome and deliver true emotion that break me every week. Y_Y

I think most of them have the OG work in mind. I did read it but cannot remember anything tbh so it doesn't spoil the fun for me. But basically, they skipped the side BL couple to add a straight couple. It doesn't help that what they added isn't that well written either. It's sweet & Jihu is best girl but overall their storyline is really basic. We can tell they didn't put much effort in writting this straight couple.

But yeah, I'm really enjoying the main story so I don't really care. I just can understand them to some degree that all. :P
