So-called "romance girlies" complain that there's no happy ending -- when it's about Wang's journey to…
I think the so called "flaws" that made people dislike it is exactly what made this show so hard hitting. It's flawless in the execution. It's very relatable and describes the true reality of human conflicts and choices. I don't get the need to have a fairytale ending in everything, I get it that people watch shows to escape reality, but once in a while it's good to appreciate realistic portrayals. And the age gap did not turn me off one bit. In the end, it did not even matter.
Some of the girlies watch shows with SA but don't find anything wrong with it so I won't consider their opinions valid. The mainstream audience gives brainless repetitive shows a 10/10, and anything that remotely asks them to think for a bit is suddenly not good enough. The exact reason why we have scarcity of substantial queer shows and too many boring repetitive romcoms with endless nc scenes. Some of them are really good but many are shit. I personally loved everything about this show. And I understand why each character did what they did. I would somewhat agree with the mom being annoying but she represents every other parent. She is exactly what you would expect a typical asian parent to be. Loved this show through and through! Broke my heart but stayed with me.
Lmao I agree with a lot of things you've said, mostly all of it but I still don't think it's a 2 haha I'm probably gonna give it a 6 or 7 because idk I don't give very low ratings unless the show is completely unbearable. I rarely watch things that I can't sit through. I think they have good chemistry and their communication was decent, the friendship part is definitely the highlight of the show! Other than that it's meh, the cringefest was difficult to sit through. Ngl I definitely fell for the high ratings, I thought it's gonna be worth it but it's probably the most overrated bl on mdl, even more so than me and thee.
Anyways your review(rant) is hilarious! I laughed so much reading it lol great skills you've got there :D
it is so refreshing seeing someone not glazing this show. personally I had a really hard time rating it, because…
I didn't get it either, why is one type of cringe better than the other? Either both are shit or both good lol. I have same thoughts as you, I enjoyed certain aspects of the show, the chemistry was good but at the same time it was super childish and too over the top. I thought such bls where the main lead screams and does unhinged shit to get attention would lose relevance by now as there is so much variety and better quality in bls now. But to my surprise people are digging the cringefest, calling it mature becayse it started off with so much childishness that the characters being calmer looked "mature" and if you even dare to slightly slip some truth in between all these comments raving about it, you'd be labeled as a hater and bullied. I'm watching this happen to some commentators that are merely sharing their genuine review. What a weird world. You can't stand out of the crowd without being labeled as a traitor even on a review page.
I never watched futs or we are because I know they're totally not my cups of tea. But I watched both khemjira and duang with you without having any idea of what these shows are about because I saw such high ratings on mdl, I was confused while watching both the shows though because both of them had certain things I liked but many things I disliked. All I know is that both these shows don't deserve such high ratings. Khemjira lacked chemistry between the main couple, Khem was insufferable asf it turned me off so bad I dropped it even though the plot was somewhat interesting, duang with you I'll finish somehow although I know it's nothing great either.
So excited to see these two beauties on the screen together again. They make a power duo together and bring out great emotions and skills in each other. Not to mention the chemistry they have - bromance/romance/friendship whatever you call it, it's pretty amazing to witness. If this show is just as emotionally charged as HSF, then this is gonna be an awesome ride!
I didn't get into it the first time I watched it either. It needs too much patience so I dropped it after a few eps. But I picked it up again later and fell in love! But that was 6 years ago. Idk if people would like it if they watch it fresh now. I personally love it, a 10/10 for me. The longing, yearning, the bg music and subtle romance was peakkk
I haven't watched such a romantic couple in a while lol Tada is so down bad I love how much he spoils Armin. Man really worships Armin. The kisses and love making scenes are so damn sweet. I specifically loved the softness, effortless chemistry and perfect expressions - the way they were just melting into each other, swoooonnnn!!
I personally hate all those separations for years for whatever reason, mostly stupid reasons. So this didn't bother…
I agree, but in Tim and Pai's case the separation would've made sense tbh. Tim needed serious introspection and a good redemption arc. He got none, faced zero consequences and got Pai back pretty easily which is very unrealistic and unsatisfactory.
I usually don't watch shows with over the top characters and eleven episodes in, Duang still makes me cringe.…
Ikr? I never saw myself as someone liking cringey comedy and voices but here I am. I continued to watch it anyway and it definitely got better. Duang has it's cringey moments but he's also really well regulated and communicates well on serious issues. And it's cute to know that Qin is equally in love. Like you said, it's not common in bls to show introverted characters like him be vocal about their feelings so it's refreshing.
I love firstkhao and their acting, chemistry everything was great but the plot was so dumb. All that drama just to maintain the "discipline" the school administration is so crap and why do the three students want to dress in casuals at school? It's a fucking school everyone wears the uniform there, if you wanna rebel, rebel against something that actually brings a change. And why was it so hard to stop those three students? Like, just expel them and you're done why was the prefect pulling so many weird ass dangerous stunts? It was all so unrealistic. The only saving grace was FirstKhao's acting and chemistry they did their parts with full honestly no matter how much weird shit their characters were doing. Their personal struggles(Akk having a hard time accepting his sexuality, Ayan being depressed) were kind of realistically portrayed. Everything else especially the main plot of the school problems was stupid to me.
I suddenly remembered how fluffy and romantic this slow burn was, I wish the show was only focused on them and not so much on the boring boy band drama. It's named ThamePo for a reason, not MARS.
I wanted to keep watching them walk and drop each other off for the rest of the time haha they were sooo cuteee I wanted moree
