For me, in the enemies part, they hated each other TOO much, to the point that they were awful people. Then the…
Yeah, I do think they hated each other too much for no consistent reason, you know? I get that sometimes we don't like someone and that's that, but still.
Regarding the number of episodes per couple and the running time, I mean, most movies of general genres have over an hour of running time, two hours of running time, these days we have longer and longer ones, but overall they're able to tell the stories organically, and I know this is a series, but it is possible to do so. The episodes are 50+ minutes long and two of them equal a full length movie.
I don't mean to be one of those people who criticize everything just for the sake of it, and I know things are not that deep, it's still the first episode, but we've seen so much in BLs, what works, what doesn't, and I feel like this one could be a little better regarding some points.
But, of course, I'm still watching it. I'm curious.
Ok, so I watched and I feel like something is missing, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
I'm not a fan of the editing, some cuts just seem abrupt, plus the plot, I know it's supposed to be quicker, since each couple gets two episodes, and I'm a huge fan of enemies to lovers, but I would've liked if the "enemies" part lasted a little longer, and yes, there's time for it, the episodes are few for each story, but they are long in minutes, you know? Two episodes are a full length movie in time.
It's not terrible, and I really like Tue, hope it gets better, let's see.
I actually want to watch it, despite the disappointment of how they broadcast the episodes for international fans.
I can't believe the weeks between some episodes were the longest, because we had to wait and now we're on the last week of the last episode and I don't mind waiting at all. I'm not ready for it to end yet.
Wow episode 9 was an emotional roller coaster. I smiled, cried, got mad and cried more again. I don’t even know…
I think sometimes we just see love in a very egoistic way. True love is selfless and I think that's actually beautiful.
Tian doesn't even know who he truly is yet, he doesn't know what he's supposed to do, I don't even think he stopped for a second to think about himself and his next steps after fulfilling all of Torfun's wishes, so yes, I agree with what you said.
I think it was not only mature, but also brave on Pupha's part to "sacrifice" his own desires in the name of what he feels for Tian, in the name of what's right for him.
Ok, I guess the biggest secret of both seasons is that Gao Shi De and Pei Shou Yi are actually.............. Cousins! So far it's been revealed once and it's definitely about to be revealed twice, lol.
I never felt like episodes were so short like I felt today. I was really into it and then it ended, but I really don't mind the pacing. I just feel like more time would obviously cover much more territory. Anyway, it is what it is and I can't say I don't like it, because I really really do.
I loved their little moment at the bridge, how playful they were reminiscing, I loved it.
I literally cried watching some parts, especially when Khama spoke to Tian at his farewell / NY party, the things he said, plus the innocence of the kids, their happiness, I was sobbing, really.
Tian's dad is what you would expect from someone who's filthy rich and simply forgot or never knew about the meaning of simple things, I hate how he neglects and belittles Tian's feelings, blaming it on how worried he is for his son. GIVE ME A BREAK. Sincerely, that doesn't sound at all like love or value of your kid's life. There's no respect at all of his part.
Dr. Nam, if I ever said anything bad about you, I take it all back. He's always spitting facts upon facts and I'm glad he's having none of Pupha's or Tian's bullshit, like HOW ARE THEY SO STUBBORN?
Also, Pupha gives me a headache whenever he decides to execute things and does it poorly, saying the most hurtful things, hurting Tian, me and himself in the process. He's emotionally constipated and I see where he's coming from with his worries, I completely understand, but my guuuuuuy please.
The counting stars scene was everything I wanted it to be. It was emotional, it was beautiful and I felt it in my heart. Those thousand stars really got to witness what love between two people looks like, huh?
Lastly, can these two stop self-sacrificing, please? I hate it here.
The extra scene with Tian helping Pupha to shave, when he finished and caressed his cheeks and then his finger stopped right on Pupha's lips... WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?
This episode was beautiful in my opinion, I was holding my breath, suffering and now I might as well be depressed until next week.
i don't see anyone talking about the little part at the end of episode 8 with tian's father..did tian's father…
I feel like Tian's dad is powerful and influent enough to quickly find out about his whereabouts. It seems like he even had someone keeping an eye on Tian this whole time, so I'm curious to see what's going to happen next and also, who was keeping an eye on Tian for him?
Pupha was wrong and I hate the way he did things, it was really hurtful to watch, but we're talking about something major here, it's not like it's easy to digest the information Tian just laid out. I'm not defending him, or the rangers, because they knew damn well about Torfun's death and it was their responsibility to tell the villagers, not Tian's.
And Tian has a really low view of himself, of his self worth, and it worries me how he blames himself for everything and think his feelings can be put aside like that, because of the guilt and the fact that he thinks he deserves to be mistreated and judged for what he "did".
I don't think Dr. Nam was right to dig information about Tian, it was unprofessional, yes, but I'm glad it served a purpose in the end, and Longtae is the best boy, but I HATE the part of their convo where he asks Tian why he didn't tell everyone he wasn't the one behind the wheel and Tian says it doesn't matter because he was the one responsible for giving the car to his friend or something along those lines, and Longtae just AGREES with him. Like???? Of course it changes things and of course it matters.
Honorable mention to Khama, he is INDEED a wise man. I really like him, after all.
I've been dying to watch the scene of him counting stars, since I saw a glimpse of it on the trailer for the series. It seems bittersweet, and I've read that in the novel, that's where he and Pupha share their first kiss, but I don't know how things are going to play out. So, I'm preparing myself for the pain.
The angst is honestly killing me, tbh, MIX, HONEY, LOVE, DARLING, I HATE YOU FOR BEING SO GOOD. He nailed every scene.
I don't think it was necessarily him that hit Torfun, but it was definitely his car, even if someone else was driving. I'm glad he's telling everyone, though, and I don't know how they're going to react, so I'm worried.
On a lighter note, what was Pupha doing walking around in a towel and then naked in front of Tian, all on purpose? He's not even trying to pretend he doesn't want him. At this point is as clear as a day that they both know what's going on, and they just didn't act on it yet, and I'm stressed. But loving it. Really loving it.
This show deserves more than just 7 point something. I know it's short and I know it's not some groundbreaking plot, but that doesn't mean it's bad it's quite the contrary for me.
For example, Song Shi On is one of those characters you can't help but root for, because he's so cute, and the difficulties he face, the fact that he's lonely and was seemingly abandoned by his mother who is his inspiration whenever he dances. He has no money, no friends, and on top of that, has a one-sided enemy who actually envies him. How can you not root for him?
Jin Hong Seok is still a mistery to me, but it's clear he comes from the same place of loneliness and that he gets Shi On, therefore he helps him. I don't think he's a necessarily bad person, despite of his job, but it's interesting to see how he can feel Shi On's dancing to the point of wanting to play the piano again.
The scene of him playing and Song Shi On dancing was beautiful. I like them together. Hong Seok has the kind of malice that Shi On lacks, and actually needs, in order to deal with certain people and situations.
I was about to comment on today's episode, BUT THE PREVIEW FOR NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE, I'M DEAD. Tian is going to stay at Pupha's, Pupha telling him "stay with me"... Why do we have to wait?
I'm all for slow burn, and I can't say I don't love it, but if someone DARES interrupt their moment where it seems like they're going to kiss, I swear to God.
Also, at this point they just know. The exchanged smiles, their eyes, the tension that gets bigger and stronger every day.
WHAT THE FUCK? Watching the episode made things a million times worse, because I have to wait another week to see what happens next.
Mr. Gao Shi De, I never doubted your love for Shu Yi, but you have some serious explaining to do. I mean, dude went through more than half of his life chasing after Zhou Shu Yi and when he finally gets to be with him, he simply leaves? Without even trying to reach for him, talk to him in person? I'm not saying I agree with Shu Yi's behavior, because he's doing everything, even things that are work related, out of pure resentment and vengeance, but how can you expect him to be with you again so quickly, just because out of nowhere you're back in his life again, caring for him like you've never left?
The flashback scene of them in the kitchen hurt my soul.
I was tense during the entire episode, but I'm not gonna lie, even if it makes me anxious, I really liked it.
I guess I was used to it being one of the highlights of my weeks, I always looked forward to every Friday.
Like I felt before, it seems like something is missing and the writing is just... Nope.
The leads were cute and all, but that's about it, I don't think it's necessarily their fault.
It's a shame, though.
What in the romance was this?
I'm literally speechless, but my heart is really warm with love. I love, love, love this so much.
Oh my God, it was so beautiful.

I like the plot, I like the enemies to lovers trope and I feel the chemistry between the actors. I'm really curious about this.
As weird and terrible this year might be, at least we're being fed with some good quality BLs. I'm rooting for this one.

The last couple of episodes were really cute. I feel truly sorry for both of them and the situations they're going through, though.
