I think I had set my expectations too high, since it's one of my favorite scenes.🙈

I also expected to return to that point, but it seems we won't. After showing us how the contract between them began, the story jumped to the present (four years after the contract ended). At one point in the novella, SM mentions trying to get back in touch with MX through his lawyer, but MX refused every time. I can't tell you why he refused, bcs would be a spoiler, but I think they’ll have that conversation in the series as well.

Was so funny 🤣🤣🤣

It's a bit confusing with all those time jumps.🥹

In Episode 11, we returned to the present—specifically, 4 years after the two of them had broken up and ended that contract.

And yes, the story with Mrs. Ji is a misunderstanding.

We are in the present. After MX terminated the contract between them and left for abroad with his sister, the story flashes back to their past—specifically, 3 years earlier. It covers how they met, the six months they spent together (the time SM mistook MX for his ex-boyfriend). Then, SM realizes MX isn't his ex, leading to their breakup—the moment MX hands him the envelope containing the key to their apartment. The narrative then jumps forward (by a few weeks or months) to the moment they reunite and sign that contract. Finally, there is a 4 year leap (spanning the time from MX’s departure abroad with his sister to the present), finding SM running his own painting studio and having traveled to M Island, where they meet again.
In short: they meet, spend 6 months together, part ways, meet again, sign the contract, about 3 years pass, they part ways again, 4 years go by, and they meet again on the M island.

I’m a bit disappointed by how they chose to portray the scene where SM draws a ring on MX’s ring finger. In the novella, the whole scene felt much more intimate. And it wasn’t rushed at all. They're in SM's room while he paints the ring, and then they go to the bathroom together to wipe it off. When they are both in the bathroom and SM has his back to MX—letting him wash off the painted ring—I felt the full extent of SM’s pain; he felt that, along with that ring, every connection between him and MX was being washed away. And then: *MX had already reached out to hold SM's chin. Using his left hand. MX's left hand wasn't wet. The painted ring on his ring finger looked as vivid as before. 'If this is your heart, why were you going to wash it off?'*This scene put me through a whole range of emotions. But in the series, it just felt really rushed.🥹

That scene in the pilot made me want to watch this series. Maybe I don't actually saw the trailer 🤔, bcs I didn't know the direction of the story had changed. I really wish they had stuck to the original story.

The craziness that surrounded the first season of OF I didn't experience again until Revenged Love came out. Everyone was talking about that season. Everyone had an opinion. Everyone was reacting. There were arguments for and against the characters. And we were suffering from one week to the next for Sand and Ray. And for Nick.I don't know if it was the actors or the better script, but that season was a "disaster". A disaster in the good way. I was obsessed. And Sand had many, but so many good lines. I remember noting them in the review I made then.I can't say much about this season, I haven't gotten past episode 2, but I'm sorry to hear that people are making a comparison between the 2 seasons.😮‍💨

I totally agree. I tried to see it from both perspectives. Because I'm like Pheem. Emotional. And I need to vent. And I really wish I had a RageRoom in the city I live in. But, there's one big thing, I could never let loose in front of the person who made me angry. It would be way too dangerous. You don't think at all when you're angry. And if I were Jira, I would be really scared. Because I would have thought that a person who reacts so violently in my presence would end up hitting me in the future, when they lost control for a moment. I understand that his artistic side took over, because it was the first time Pheem wasn't trying to be someone else or seem like the ideal "man," but honestly, I would have walked out the first door.

I usually like to watch series while they're still on going, but I'm glad I let this one sit (I'm on ep 4/6). It's the kind of series I need to watch NOW. I feel like the magic is lost with just one episode per week. And it's so good. Especially the characters. And the music. I absolutely love how the music was chosen.I've always loved the way Gun plays his characters, but this time my eyes are only on Papi. His character is something... I can't explain it.

After episode 1, I said it was cringe and that I could barely watch it. What do I say now? That it's my weekly dose of peace and that I need episode 5 like air.🤭

I'm dying 🤣🤣🤣

I skipped a few scenes because it was so embarrassing.🫣🫣🫣
But it was also funny towards the end.

I got my dose of cringe for today.
I'm so sorry, but it only became funny around minute 38, when I stopped seeing Thee as a clown. And then came the ending... Dios mio, Thee, please, stop watching cheesy dramas.
Instead, I like Peach, and Aran-Tawan are WarKlao 2.0 (P10L), the slightly more toxic version.
And Mok, well... 🔥🔥🔥

I only commented based on the comments above. If she is Pooh hater, then I retract what I said.🫡

Are you still saying this after episode 3?🤣

Gosh, yesssss. This waiting is killing me. 🙈🙈

Yes. I made the mistake of watching episode 3 on Youtube and they took out almost all the scenes with Sey and Darin.🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
