I was going to rate it a perfect 10 till that happened.. i dont know why they're showing him even as a human..…
Mte. He committed a crime, does not seem repentant at all, just sad he got caught. What Kengkla did in LBC really threw me, too, but Lhong...... And trying to redeem him. Ugh!

IKR?! How can they have Thorn forgive him and be like "I hope you learned your lesson LOL good talk" or whatever he said?! Why is this guy not in fucking prison????
Apart from the fact that the female lead probably got her medical degree on Amazon, this was a lovely, lovely series. <3 Ji Sung is an incredible actor. I'm
Your last sentence kind of sums up how I feel about the drama. I gave it a higher rating because used it as a form of escapism from a really shitty period in my life, and it really managed to draw me in. However, when I sit back and analyze what I watched, I feel terrible for having enjoyed it. Tharn is a creep most of the time and the only thing he has working for him is that he is ridiculously attractive. I really wish the show had lived up to its potential and had dealt with the dark themes it introduced in an appropriate manner. Alas, they ended up being tropey plot devices....
Thank you for the nice comment. Being able to ignore certain parts to enjoy the drama is a good thing. If it wasn't…
I totally understand! I think I was just very smitten by the chemistry between the two leads. To be honest, I imagined how the story would end many times and I was let down by the actual ending and the show's refusal to acknowledge that two characters had been sexually abused......
Thank you for this review! I absolutely agree with everything you have written here. The show tried....but failed to deal with the mental health issues that seemed to be a core plot line. It could have been so much better, in fact, it could have been amazing, because the actors certainly are. Sadly, the script just went with silly BL tropes and dropped all attempts at deconstructing them towards the end. Also, Lhong as a villain is just..... Ugh. I do not understand why they would let him get away with what he did and why the show was trying to make the viewer feel bad for him.
Thank you for this review! You addressed all the issues I had with the drama. I still gave it a high rating because I made myself focus on the cute stuff, and because I view BL as a form of escapism but oh my God was I pissed about how they dealt with Type's trauma..... This show could have been absolutely amazing if that had been dealt with in an appropriate manner. And yes, whyyyyy is Lhong not behind bars?
I wish the show had gone more into detail about mental health and healing from past trauma.... But apart from that, it was one of the BLs I ever watched. <3
I don't think not wanting to come out/being scared of coming out is cowardly. Speaking as a queer person.... You…
Coming out is a very personal matter so of course people are scared of how others will react. Age doesn't matter here. Emotional repercussions of coming out affect lgbt people of any age. I think that they should have fleshed out that conflict more but coming out isn't a random decision either.
They did New dirty with that kind of script. He was terrible in his hetero role in Love Beyond Frontier and he…
I don't think not wanting to come out/being scared of coming out is cowardly. Speaking as a queer person.... You never know how others, even loving family members, will react.
But f***Ing hell, was that scene with Lhong really necessary?
