I’m so mad right now. I’ve watched this damn show three times. (I like Mark, ok) and it’s ok. A bit slow but all the food scenes are top notch and I like the overall ambience. Other than that it feels like it’s written for the stage and not tv. The dialogues are perfect for a stage play, not to say their movements and touches and placements.
Anyway, that’s not why I’m mad. I’m mad because I just finished the novel and man, there’s so much potential lost in this adaptation. For starters, Eua is bonkers in love in the novel. Aek is a lot more understandable in his decisions and the way he rationalizes things. He’s borderline unlikable in the series but he’s really sweet in the novel. What I’m sayin is, this series could have been so good but someone decided to make it into some artsy fartsy piece of poo. I’ll probably watch it again because of the food and Mark but I will always remember the fact that this wasn’t it. There should have been so much more. And so much different.
Who ever decided to do a drama adaptation of the manga should get a prize. The manga is absolutely amazing and this adaptation most certainly does it justice.
I’m sorry but the GL side couple is too much. I rather see them in their own series than taking up space in a BL. I don’t watch BL for the girls. For that I have GL. And god knows we need more GL in this world not GL side couples that just annoy the hell out of everyone.
This weeks episode was cute though. Meena is definitely the star. The story is what it is. Not sure how they will get it going with only four episodes left. There’s the grandpa/father, the cousin, the girls (yes, I do watch and am some what interested (only somewhat because I find them a tad bit problematic and hella annoying and not cute), I just said GL sides in general in BL), the mother, the fact that Mut is still getting paid, Connor… there’s so many loose ends and somehow I doubt they will get tied up properly.
I think lieutenant and captain should get their own series. Also, I low key rooted the most for everybody else but the main couple. Idk, I really want to like LeeFrank but I just don’t. I’ve still to see any series with them where I actually feel like they have some sort of chemistry beyond kissing. But overall, it was such a silly series I somehow enjoyed way more than I probably should.
I’m just curious who is Bin Bin gonna play? He’s 31 and he’s gonna play a 19 y/o Shi Luo or a 21 y/o Yu Sui? I can’t see it. But I’m over the moon seeing him in any form of BL tbh. I loved him in Love O2O.
