The differences in beauty come down to latitude, to some degree. Thailand and Japan have completely different climates for a range of reasons, but the one that most effects island life and biomes is the fact that Thailand is in a tropical latitude, while Japan’s is distinctly temperate. The tropics have very different land and marine conditions to those further from the equator. Japan’s most southern point is five degrees north of Thailand’s northern border. It’s also a Pacific Island, which Thailand isn’t. Thailand is much more substantial in terms of land mass, but it’s also sheltered from Pacific patterns by surrounding countries, and is attached to a continent. Japan gets a beating from low pressure systems in winter, freezing, while Thailand is wet for half the year, getting tropical storms during a month-plus over summer. They look very different, and not all of the saturation difference is done in post 🙃

Irony++ that the FL has puppydog eyes, and the ML is distinctly feline…

Is this a Thai version of Marry my Dead Body?

Never mind. If I load the video from a different part of the app they’re rendering fine. I just have to use my watchlist for this one 🙄

I’m not getting English subtitles, despite having them enabled. Is it just me havngvthis trouble?

Ooh! A rugby KDrama! As a Kiwi this is a must-see. Rugby, in more than one form, is our national religion 🙃

Yes, I’ve elected to go by Haebom’s attitude to this. He’s a savvy kid, who knows Taesung inside out. He always seems to nose out what’s going on with him since their last year at high school. He was more focused on his own feelings about Taesung, than on Taesung’s crossing that line. He placed little importance on it, and he’s the more emotionally intelligent of the two.

It’s one of the Korean romance tropes. What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim and Semantic Error were the same. It’s actually something I seek out sometimes, especially after I’ve watched something really gritty that’s set off my trauma response. There’s something very fairy tale-like about dramas made in this style. It’s escapist mind-candy.

Good trailer 👍

Oooh yeah, those fx. If they’d marked him up properly for mapping the fx onto San they at least would have tracked with his movement properly, but they apparently just free-handed it. I concur on pretty much all points, and would add that the acting improved and became more grounded as the series went on, with a couple of exceptions. I suspect that was the director finding their feet.

I am skipping long lingering shots when they’re OTT. This could easily have been a six episode series, I think. I do like it though. It’s escapist, and the characters tend to conduct themselves like rational adults, in that they don’t leap to the worst conclusions, etc.

I know, and without even experiencing either. Hilarious 😆

I love this woman in Century of Love. I’m really looking forward to checking out her other work. She physically resembles Esther Yu, but her voice is much nicer.

There will be. No way will Cheng and Wei have a sad ending.

Yeah, my ADHD and ASD fight in this area. My ADHD likes novelty and instant gratification, and my autism hates surprise and change. It’s chaotic.

Agreed!

One of my traits is hating surprises, so I’m fine with spoilers in dramas that aren’t about solving mysteries. Emotional stakes I will often seek out spoilers for, so I don’t lose my s#%t from suspense. It stems from my autism. If you would like, I can let you know when to pick it back up, so you don’t have to risk spoilers messing with your enjoyment. If you’d like me to do that add me as a friend on here 🙃

Yes, I’m thoroughly invested in the main couple. I’m a bit infatuated with Cheng. He’s way sweeter than I thought he’d be.

I’m not talking about any particular scene. I just think he lacks consideration. His best friend and loved one is just coming to grips with his own sexuality. Taking it slowly and checking what he needs should be his first priority, but instead of offering that care, he had to have it demanded of him. He’s a bit selfish, but no biggie. I feel like you’ve maybe blown my comments up to be much more negative than I intended.

Why thank you! I’m an optimist when it comes to Cdramas 🙃
