There is no "benefit" as you said in your previous post for having sex by grooming, Non is utterly confused and is in a lot of pain. I have worked 8 years with victims of gender violence, understanding what made a victim is basic to handling those cases. The way the scene is presented to us, the position, the fact that the teacher on top is undressed while the one being subject to is fully dressed, the constriction on the sofa, the discomfort of the whole situation, the fact that the door was opened that suggest non-consent (as the one being "seduced" did not have chance to consider his safety) the uncaring for the person being groomed. that's not an honest sex encounter. If he was under 18 in most countries that would be statutory rape. Statutory rape means that it is irrelevant the will of the victim, the law will always protect certain categories of people who are at a disadvantage. Teacher/student is the perfect scenario in which statutory rape is applied.

You won't lose anything. It is all makes sense from ep 5. You only need to know that all the gore of the first part is an act of revenge for what has happened from ep 5. Ta/Cooper have a bit of a sex scene in ep 1 and it was OK like any typical Thai BL scene, but Ta/Barcode is in another league, no exaggeration. What a surprise as we have not seen them as CP before. They bring the whole house: the visuals, the tenderness, the multilayer acting, the sexiness too. Unmissable. You cannot imagine how many times I have watched the beginning of ep 7. Their love story is the backbone of the whole series as Ta character's actions are explained in seeking the truth about what happened to his lover (Non/Barcode)

I cannot believe you are still not able to see what is to be groomed by a teacher!

The so called "sex" scene was a rape scene to me

It is disgusting, isn't it?

I am with you here. In my delulu mind, Non came back to Phee and they can rewrite again their beautiful love story.

Jump to ep 5, then when this series really becomes interesting, then you can decide to come back to ep 1, but it is like two completely different series and please do not miss the love story of Barcode and Ta (from KP) in ep 7 it is really beautiful.

Ep 5 - It is like some other writer/production company made this series onwards. Then it is when really becomes interesting and the whole mess of the first part made kind of sense. If you want to just jump to ep 5, believe me, it is like another series altogether.

Nothing!!!!

Now, I have to watch XX, thank you!!!

Agree with you that doesn't make any sense!

The cast list in MDL is prepared by volunteers. you can also edit yourself and send the correction. In Wikipedia, he is the main supporting actor - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Killer_Paradox

She also refers to Min Hwan as lowly - shrimp and still went for it. She will use anybody if she feels like it, specially if it is in a lower status than hers. From his part, he looks quite resentful of her so on the contrary if she uses him for sex he will be ready to take revenge. In Eve, another series, that is what happened, the rich woman was having sex with her secretary but he loaded her.

You see, it is all about personal preference. I could not pass ep 1 of Vigilante. The ML did not do it as Vigilante for me, maybe because he has done so many rom-coms that I really could not connect with him in this role and in general I could not find any element that got my attention. Instead I was hooked to this series from the get go.

Exactly my thoughts! There are people that even say is boring!? why, how? I just cannot understand. It is like they are watching a different series.

It gives me the impression that she also uses his assistant for sex. It is all implied.

Aesthetical appreciation comment: We have already discussed that Lee Jong Won has the most beautiful face, like a painted portrait, but have you noticed his hands? When he caresses our FL face in the last scene of the last ep (10) this angel hand appears and the whole gesture is so delicate. It really warmed my heart 🧡

I think this drama is super, I don't understand the low rating honestly

This is a great series if you like the genre. Inexplicable that it only rated at 8. Probably none of the actors have a big fan base (sorry but being in MDL for a while I can see how much this shallow criterion applies) . Choi Woo Shik is his usual amazing, he was one of the reasons why Parasite (film) won an Oscar and other important awards. Suk Kuk, as the policeman, is a solid actor, no my favorite, but the role suits him very well.

There is no truth, start watching it and form your own opinion. We have read it all in this forum. Lots and lots of posts by Song Kang haters, even from burner accounts, so the poor thing has been destroyed here, I watched because FL who is one of my Queens in K Drama her performance is fab as usual. She celebrates 20 years of acting during filming and is regarded as one of the best by her peers. I find the drama very cute and entertaining.
