Now, after 4 ep I quite like him too. He’s a little bit of a cinnamon roll with the flowers he bought Ongsa.

On ep 2 and I wonder what the plot actually is. I guess I’ll find out eventually. One thing I say is; that frantic rubbing against each other fully clothed ain’t sexy at all. No, it’s rather offputting and annoying. If that’s how all their nc/sex scenes are gonna be then I’m gonna ff them.

I’ve only watched the first ep so far but I instantly dislike Nakhin only because he (the actor) played that ahole Stop in LITA.

Not sure what to think yet…

”I respect all your fetishes.” - Ju Tae Seon, 2026

Absolutely loved this series but there was a lot more potential to be even better and bigger. Some plotholes that never got filled. I liked the detective work and would have loved if they had actually gotten more cases to work on. Maybe they could have made this into the standard 16 ep series with the BL on the side if you get what I mean. Anyway, the fetishes aside (there aren’t any) it was the right amount of NC and the kissing was kissing. The romance didn’t overshadow the plot which I appreciate.

I love Fah and Phoon. 🥰 I can’t help but smile like a silly person every time I see them. Their confession is the second best in bl after Win and Team and you can try and fight me on that.

Anyway, it took me a while to get to the third story but now it’s over and I’m not impressed. For the first time I actually speed up some episodes at the end. It got so boring. The only interesting part was Singha and Ben and the mafia. I wish we could get a spin off with more of that and more focus on the mafia part and less moosh.

Arthit is an ahole but what can you do. The story’s interesting. Likewise is Phoon and Fah’s.

The star of this whole saga (pt 1 and 2) thou is North hands up. Without him there would he no series.

I wish there was a balance between the two and not just in favor of one, in this case the dark and toxic ones. I think there is a market for both and I would be happy to see some fluffy cbl too even though dark romance is one of my favorite genres when done well.

I too look forward to more toxic cbl. I just hope they handle them well with good writers and actors so we don’t end up with another mess like this one.

I find this so interesting because I’m the opposite to you. I’m bipolar and it pisses me off royally that they are using mental illness and especially bd as an explanation (and excuse) for LFs behavior. What and who he is has nothing to do with bd. Imo they should have just let him be the monster he actually is. He would be so much more interesting that way.

Ah, this was such a sweet watch with some mystery sprinkled into it. I absolutely loved it. For once did I love both couples equally and I kind of shipped Chuai and Kongh everytime they were bickering. 😎😘

Say what you want about Domundi but they know how to deliver. The acting, ost, cinematography, writing… it was all there. Some say it’s boring, I say you’re wrong. It’s just wonderful. Def a rewatch on a gloomy day.

I’m only on ep 3 but oh dear, JJ is such a cutie patootie. 🥰 I absolutely love this so far.

Not to mention the damage a depiction like this does to the bipolar community. It’s stigmatizing enough to have bd without being portrayed like a homicidal, obsessive, stalker, psycho maniac. There is absolutely nothing bipolar about Lu Feng. I wish people stopped writing characters with diagnoses if they have no clue about said diagnoses.

People, before you watch this: the clue is in the tags; abusive and obsessive male lead. Nothing good comes of that combination. You can’t seriously get pissed off by the content with those tags. Don’t watch it if you want cute and fluffy and hurt/comfort. You won’t get it here.

Also, it’s ok to drop a series if it’s triggering you. Why watch something you hate. Already the first episode is foreboding of what’s to come.

I agree with you completely. I can’t understand how people could even expect this to be anything but toxic if they’ve done even the tiniest bit of research, like read the tags or watched the trailer 🙄 It isn’t for everyone and if you don’t like it, don’t watch and definitely don’t rate because it wasn’t the genre you expected. I actually take very lightly the rating here on mdl. I have series I absolutely adore with ratings in the 6’s. It was more like I felt like some people think that if you don’t think this is a masterpiece then you have no clue about the genre and should be quiet and I don't like that sentiment. I thank you for you thoughtful answer.

You think it’s an amazing show. I respect that. Others don’t. I respect that too. Maybe you just have to accept the fact that people feel differently than you about this series.

Have it occurred to you people who complain about the low rating and who accuses others of hate rating that people have different preferences and experiences. I love dark romance and black flags. Vegas is one of my favorite characters of any BL. The genre in BL I consume the most in manga/manhwa is dark romance and my physical collection is extensive in that genre alone. I still don’t like this series. I dropped it even. It has nothing to do with not understanding the genre or hating on it, I just think the script is sub par, the acting (except Ayden) is debatable and the plot is a mess. Not to mention the use of mental illness, and especially bipolar disorder which is a huge problem in its own, as a means to excuse LF’s behavior. This series has so many problems and they have none directly related to the genre itself.

Edit: And by genre related I’m talking about troupes and not necessarily the way they are portrayed.

The villain is villaining, DGZ is hot as ever and the chemistry is sizzling. You just have to get past the first few episodes where the fl is a helpless, naive mistress in distress.

If you look under discussions someone has posted an explanation for the names.

Bipolar rep?! You can’t be serious. As someone who actually has bd this is horrible. This is no rep at all. This is actually harmful to those (us) who has bd. To be associated with this kind of behavior when it’s so far from the reality is outrageous. Having bd is already stigmatizing, you don’t need ”representation ” telling people we are crazy, obsessive, violent, abusive, rapist, homicidal maniacs. So please, don’t call this bipolar rep. Especially if you’re not bipolar yourself.

Edit: and my feelings about their decision to use bd as an explanation to his behavior you ask? Fuck them! Use mental illness all you want, I don’t oppose it, but don’t pinpoint a diagnosis to it. Especially not if you have no idea what you’re talking about.

According to the definition of rape dub-con is rape.

Some of these comments are unhinged.
