Really loved it! It was such a unique story with lot of twist & lovable grey characters. I personally really like Do Da-Hae, Bok Gwi-Ju, the ML's Sister, FL's Sister & Uncle and Bok I-Na. They are flawed but in a lovely manner.

Not everything was perfect of course. If I would point something, for me it was the romance between FL & ML. It was good but... it missed something somehow. I cannot really explain. Maybe the main plot overshadowed too much the romance ? I was really captivated by the plot that the romance seemed a bit... lackluster even if it was good ? It doesn't make sense even for me, but it's what I felt.

And maybe it's because I'm greedy but I wanted more. I wanted to fully explore the backstory of their family's power. Even the story of the scammer family. Who was Grace and where did she come from ? How did they "adopted" her ? Same with the Uncle. Even the mum story and her lost daughter. I also wanted to see more about the relationship between ML's Sister and FL's Uncle that was hinted near the end. I wanted to know more about how I-Na evolved in the last 5 years. Even some life moment of No-Ri. And lastly, a full episode of fluffy moments when ML come back. Yes, I'm that greedy.

Nonetheless, the ending is still one of the most beautiful I've seen. I really didn't expect that. Overall, this show will linger in my mind. 9/10

All of that is somewhat related to the budget they can alloy to such projects. BL content will always have inferior budget because it's more niche.

It can still evolve in the future with bigger and bigger one (like it did happen in the last few years) but they could never reach "traditional" projects for obvious reasons. It's a reality that need to be acknowledged.

So no, I don't see as a problem to have "pink googles" and having lower expectation when it come to them. That just my opinion.

It was good. I didn't know we had so many expert in cinematography here. Personally, I didn't catch on any of their claims before reading this here. I'm probably just that easy when it come to BL. I liked the vibes, both actor are cute, the storyline will be good because it's an adaptation of a manga I liked, so I already know I will enjoy myself. :D

Having a boner isn't "hard" (haha) when you are young. Simple touch, some vibration (like being on a bus) and just the situation itself can get you one. So yeah, it happen and it's no big deal.

Oh yeah, I remember "YYY", it was so chaotic near the end (really, a spaceship ? xD). I didn't seem to have watched "Rak Diao" so thanks for the input!

It could be also a lost in translation thing. But to be fair, I don't know if it's a "french" thing, but we talk about trauma for every phobia that are triggered by an event. Like with a dog bite -> fear of dog. Stuck in a closeted space -> Claustrophobia. They are all trauma and they can be mild (or extreme for some).

Not really. All we know is that the ceiling collapse and they hold a funeral with an empty coffin. The fact that the coffin is empty is a huge hint that he isn't dead.

No it's a loop. If she is alive, it mean his future self did save her. He still don't know how & when but it "already" did happen. If you didn't notice yet, every "time travel" he did so far that should change the timeline actually didn't, the past & present already have them included. They don't have multiple timeline here but one and only. Meaning, that it's 100% bond to happen and she will never "disappear" if he don't go back to the past because he already somewhat did it and cannot not go back in the past to save her - again we just don't know the how & when.

It's why they insist on saying that her past is his future.

Trauma can be an irrational fear of something triggered by a bad event or something you cannot overcome making you struggle when you experience it again. His first time being filmed seems to be a very bad experience for him. Leading him to fear, panic or being overly stressed after that in front of camera/peoples when acting.

Saying that, trauma can be really serious that need help from your acquaintances or even professional. But it can also be "manageable" on your own if it's something "light" like it seems to be the case here.

Wandee Goodday check the "Light comedy bl" as my fav of currently airing. You can also check "Knock Knock, Boys!" if you want a more chaotic vibe (only 3 episodes are released yet).

On a side note, if you aren't just loving BL, "Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale" is worth to check out if it's your jam (but again, only 2 episodes are released yet). "Lovely Runner" is also really funny (but with "heavy moment" from time to time) but I'm pretty sure you should already have heard of that one.

I was kinda prepared but the final twist really was a bit... uncomfortable for me. First, even though I have saw it miles away, his "female friend" seeking for him was already stretching my limit. Like I said, I saw it coming so it wasn't that bad.

But the last one, with the daughter-mother sex scene ? I wasn't prepared for that, AT ALL. The fact that he love the mother but do it with her daughter WHILE the mother watch them ? Just because they cannot make love together (I could argue with that but it's her choice in the end, I can understand that), they are using her daughter -who clearly have romantic feeling for him- as a substitute ? And it's finally portrayed as a fulfilling experience that completely fine with them & make everyone "happy" (like in the letter, the mother saying "I hope we could the three of us live happily together in the future.") was really beyond my understanding.

No, it was too twisted for me and I think I'm pretty open minded. So yeah, except for that, it's a great movie. Maybe a bit sugarcoated but I wasn't really here for a documentary to be honest. :)

Yeah, the empty coffin is clearly a hint that he isn't dead. It's either for scamming Do Da-hae's Mother (even if I don't really see why they would do that yet) or him be enable to go back to them (Trap in the past ? Lost with amnesia ?). Then they just assumed he was dead. He will then come back after the "Time skip from Dramaland©" that always appear in the last episode.

Like Do Da Hae said, it was just a fleeting thought. Without context. I think she wasn't blaming her child for being born but the whole event that made her husband ruin their life. Or blaming the timing, making her husband be able to endlessly revisit this moment because her birth was a happy one. It's still sad but that completely human.

No love triangle.

I still like it so far except that Mix (Mick, the vampire who lost his horns) & his "mum" are really TOO much. Especially the mum. At some point, I think I would just skip anytime she appear on screen (Mix is bearable at least). :x

From what I understood, they had an idyll of 3 months because ML was recuperating for is surgery in a foreign country (probably US ?). When he was about to leave, he discovered that she wasn't his childhood friend, said that he doesn't want her to be near him never again and had a hearth attack.

After that it's a bit unclear but she stayed a bit but leave before he woke up. When he woke up he probably went to US to undergo his surgery. Meanwhile, 3 month later, FL discover she was pregnant. So they already lost contact at this point and couldn't contact him. It didn't help that she believed that he hated her to the point of not giving a damn about her.

Anyway, all of this setup was just to create the biggest misunderstanding between them so yeah, it's overdramatic and their reaction are a bit off (both of them tbh) but it's a Drama. Need to turn our brain off in those cases and don't dive to deeply. :P

Good. It was cute & the e-sport subplot was interesting. I was just a bit surprised at how unprofessional those pro-gamer were. Especially those "junglers", FL was playing pokemon with them ."Gotta catch 'em all!". Leading to some really weird behavior in what seemed to be a very serious competition.

Also, the actress playing the FL was a bit stiff or expressionless. It didn't help that her "neutral" (or "resting" ?) face had pouting lips and big open eyes. It's like she was always annoyed, bored or had no clue at why she was here. But to be honest I prefer this rookie mistake than when they overact everything.

Overall, a solid 8/10.

Ming is a obsessive lover that are only good or care to their love interest. A jerk but it's "romantic". :P

It was Tong before. Now it's Old Joe. And right now, New Joe isn't Old Joe for him yet. So why would he be nice ? If it follow the common troop with such character, he will be "healed" by his love interest aka. Old/New Joe and becoming a perfect member of society. Of course all previous behavior will be forgiven because *LOVE*. And the true bad guy (Tong ?) will be punished.

Are you sure about that ? What you describe seem to be physiognomy (physiognomonie in French) or a physiognomic (physiognomoniste) . It can also be called morphopsychology.

Oh, so he does exist in English but with a different meaning ? Glad to know. :o
