Alright, I just finished this series (well, I'm waiting for the last line of the episode to stop loading "Is this") LIKE IS THIS WHAT?!! Nevermind, my screen just turned black because the episode freaking ended.
Y'all, I have so much to say about this series. I stayed up two days in a row 'til 5 AM binging this. At first, I wasn't sure, because when I watched a previous series with them, Love Mechanics, it was lackluster and just repetitive. They were good actors, of course – that's what everyone loves about them – but they give them such awful storylines and plots.
So yeah, I was unsure whether to watch this, but the first episode was enough to hook me in.
I think because I started loving War so much after he hung out with Suho from EXO (I liked him already because he reminded me so much of Baekhyun!), and like I said, he's a wonderful actor who can portray any emotion and just connect with the viewers.
So here's what I think of this series. First off, is episode 13 a part of the series or a special episode? I'm assuming a special episode because on this platform they're seperated, but on my streaming platform they put all 13 episodes together. Okay, enough of that. TO BEGIN, WHY THE HECK WAS HOPE (PEE) BEATEN UP EVERY EPISODE?! LIKE WHAT IS WRONG WITH Y'ALL?! EVERYTIME HE HAD SCREENTIME, IT WASN'T FOR A CUTE MOMENT WITH SAVE (I THINK THAT WAS HIS NAME), IT WAS TO SHOW HOW HE WAS BEATEN UP! Okay, that was a problem I had with this series. They didn't focus enough on the other existing couples or those that were yet to be. Additionally, I felt the series didn’t do justice to the other existing couples or the potential relationships that were hinted at but never fully developed. There was so much opportunity for growth and connection that was sidelined for the sake of the main plot that was so predictable in many circumstances. However, once again praising the main leads, their chemistry is actually super good, and that's what kept me watching. You can feel the push and pull between them, how they slowly go from reluctant partners to totally smitten lovers. There are genuinely sweet and soft moments that really hit hard because you've seen them go through so much craziness together. It just shows how great the actors are that they can make even the wildest stuff feel real and emotional.
However, the whole plot with Joker's family and their weird inheritance games often just felt like an excuse to create crazy situations instead of a real story. It's not about things making sense, it's more about throwing two people into a blender and seeing if they fall in love. For me, Jack and Joker's charm totally made up for the confusing plot. They really made the show worth watching, even when the story made no sense. And again, It felt like the writers had so many cool ideas for other characters and their relationships, but then they just... ignored them. It's super annoying when you see hints of good chemistry or interesting backstories, only for them to get pushed aside for more of the main story, or even worse, just showing Hope getting hurt over and over lmfao.
So based off the ending scene during the special episode, they might either abandon the series and just leave the viewers curious, or they might have a possible season 2? Which I'm here for! Anyways this was a great watch, I actually thought Joke had died, and the subtitles for the special episode were SO BAD, like oh my Lord. I can't even speak Thai but I know those translations were wrong asl. The subttitles for the other episodes seemed okay and reliable, probably some mistakes here and there, but the SPECIAL EPISODE WAS JUST AWFUL. Anywho, I liked this. I had given it a 10/10 first three episodes but as it progressed it kinda lowered the standards and expectations for me a bit.
BTW, the other actors were fine asl, the main people anyways. Like Yin is so freaking hot. At first I didn't really care too much about him but his charisma on camera, WHEW- And War was just born to act, he's really good. Anyways, I recommend this series, evem if it's kind of recycled and just threw some amazing actors who deserve better. 8.5/10 for me!
Ok I got a nether question what do you guys think about Willy role
He's annoying imo. Just an unnecessary side character. But people like him so I guess I can handle his presence. I hope he plays a more interesting character in later episodes. So far he's just a nuisance.
so the introduction did really follow the book. Charan already knew who Khanin was, he did not need to look for…
Ah that sucks, some of the other streaming platforms had a very clamped up video, like you couldn't see their faces right so I went to Youtube. I'll have to watch it on IQIYI or elsewhere then. Thanks btw!
so the introduction did really follow the book. Charan already knew who Khanin was, he did not need to look for…
Wow, I usually think a BL series with more than 12 episodes is a lot, unless it's a good series with untold stories like Pit Babe, IFYLITA, etc. But you sound very reassuring so I'm going to trust you. I'm excited anywho and thanks for all the info!
Top Form is giving masterclasses of how to make a BL, so I don't know about that. Lets hope it's good.
Yeah, Top Form so far is my favorite series this year, not that i've watched much this year because of busy schedule but yeah. I have high hopes for this series too though!
Yeah, I think the pacing was a little too fast.Charan getting the mission, arriving in London, meeting everyone…
Yeah that's what I thought happened. Especially seeing how this series will be 14 EPISODES! We are being blessed and fed with this amazing pairing. I never read the book to know this fact but thanks for bringing it to my attention. I hope this series gets more love and not more haters because you can TELL how much thought and effort went into bringing this series to life.
Yes , it seems some haters are intentionally giving low ratings 😕
Yeah it happens when people are successful. Like Baekhyun once said "everybody hating every since you got more". I think this series definitely deserves more recognition, even if I personally have never loved ZeeNunew. Like they're cute and have good chemistry, but individually their acting is so lacking. But I definitely see some growth here.
Guys is anyone curious about Jade and that guy in the photo? I've been wondering when he will come into the picture…
In the anime, it was never fully explained, they just had a relationship and I believe it eventually became long distance. Maybe they'll showcase that in a different way here. Plus there's more seasons apparently so they'll probably be highlighted more. I'm here for it!
7.9 is crazy low. y'all just hating cause that episode 1 is solid af
It's a good episode but I think there'll be better. This was a good introductory episode for the series, and it showcased how much effort was put into giving a quality series.
I just started watching this and I've never understood the hype of the acting couple. The dialogue always felt forced at times, and a lot of the drama seems over-the-top, but I've been looking forward to more of them anywho and so far, this is top tier production and quality. You can tell a lot of work and thought process went into this drama, and MONEY, and I just hope it's all worth it and delivers a good show. I still have yet to finish this episode, and I thank Youtube and the Mandee Channel for not gatekeeping it and uploading it, and I'll finish my review.
Review: Okay, first of all, I feel like the encounter Charan and *idrk his name yet* but Nunew was too sudden. Based off what I REMEMBER of the pilot, I anticipated a storyline where Charan would embark on a quest to find the prince, then meet Nunew, leading to a blossoming love before discovering Nunew's true identity-but it seems Charan already knew exactly who to look for. I mean I haven't finished watching the episode yet so maybe there'll be more context but lets see. it's still flowing pretty naturally though and it still makes sense everything that has happened. OH AND THE FOOD LOOKS GREAT! Oh and his name is Khanin, I should've just looked at the cast above. Okay so, the episode was good, I'll need to wait for the next episodes to come out to see if I want to continue the show and get more interested in it. It felt too rushed though, but maybe there's more that's gonna happen later on and that's why? You can definitely see a growth in Nunew's acting, I'm happy to see it always, and I really don't have much else to say. It's good, the production is amazing, and it deserves more love and recognition. 7.5/10.
There was an interview where they announced season 2. Also I just saw a BL news update that said that they actually…
Yeah I watched the movie for the Spain trip and I wanted to rewatch it earlier this year but I couldn't find it anywhere, but I am really curious what season 3 will be about, and what DRAMA will arise.

As much as I love the show, I don't see the series going for that long. I think it had great pace and it's already giving the finale. I think three seasons is too much for this kind of series. Will I still watch and support it? Heck yeah.

IT DID LOOK LIKE A BUTT THOUGH LIKE OMG, IDK WHAT'S RIGHT OR WRONG JUST WHAT I WANT TO BE RIGHT
I'll have to watch it on IQIYI or elsewhere then. Thanks btw!
But you sound very reassuring so I'm going to trust you. I'm excited anywho and thanks for all the info!
And I am both scared and excited with that phrasing 😭
I never read the book to know this fact but thanks for bringing it to my attention. I hope this series gets more love and not more haters because you can TELL how much thought and effort went into bringing this series to life.

I'ma stay tuned!
