Just caught up on Ep 5, I'm so impressed with these Chinese BL so far, and I love how it doesn't shy away from portraying the Omegaverse. It's so daring for them to do so especially since Thailand have watered down the Omegaverse theme in PitBabe. Anyway, it's so refreshing to see a good quality drama and an interesting story line. Nowadays, I feel like we are bombarded with so many mediocre BLs lately, but this one definitely took a lot of risk in terms of direction and production, and it is good to see that it is now paying off. Maybe this will inspire others to improve the quality of future BL series. As an enigma Hua Yong intrigues me, how he can give off an Omega scent? Perhaps there's a detail in the series that I missed. Anyway, it is the second couple that really resonates with me, poor Gao Tu having to pretend to be a Beta and suppress his true Omega nature, oh there's so much angst and drama there and the actor that portrayed Gao Tu really did a great job. I have to admit I sometimes question the acting choices of the actor playing Shen Wen Lang but at the same time I get why he was casted for this drama; he has this natural devilishly handsome look to him that just draws you in, he's just perfect as the seemingly cold and callous Shen Wen Lang.
Ep. 2 for me seems much better in terms of plot and pacing. I actually like the comedy here as a break from the more boring elements of the show. Honestly have doubts about the chemistry of Joss and Gawin from the start, not yet fully convinced at this point but I'm willing to give them a chance and only because I believe in Gawin's acting ability. Speaking of Gawin' acting, I haven't seen this goofy side of Gawin, and I really like it, I find it so charming and endearing. On the other hand, I find Joss's character Mark rather flat and boring, I like his character in "3 Will Be Free" more, hopefully his character would improve once the romantic tension in their relationship develops.
One thing I wish is that GMMTV would invest in is better mics or sound engineers, I don't understand why they can't clean up the background noise in post-production, also I can't for the love of me understand why they can't crank up the volume of dialogue when their mic wasn't picking up the voices properly. They can overlay loud and annoying sound effects or music but not turn up the volume for dialogue how does that make sense? How many scenes were ruined in other past shows and will be ruined in the future all because they can't invest in decent sound engineering, come on?
Did mix get plastic surgery done on his nose? It feels like it
Yes his nose bridge became higher, seems like he might have some kind of nose filler or nose threads put in. Earth also got the same procedure too, his nose also became a lot straighter as well but you don't really notice it as much as Mix' because Earth's facial features are stronger. Both guy's nose bridges were lower if you compare scenes from ATOTS and now.
This episode just has so many jaw dropping moments but to me the most gob smacking moment was when Joong and Est had a scene together and they even spoke to each another!
I feel so bad for the boss when he finally got turned down by Heng when Heng was looking so dashing in his knight costume, while boss looks so ridiculous in his elf costume. Lol! On the plus side, Heng finally realized his attraction to Mo and we get another cute beer drinking scene with Earth Mix!
Ain't no way Jun went to all that trouble to help, buy food, go to secret bars, and tease Po just so he can show Thame how to become a better lover. He even gave stolen glances at Po when Po wasn't looking, and I don't think the director put those scenes in just to be a red herring for the viewers. Jun even told Thame at the end of the game that Thame won before the game even started, because he knew Po had feelings for Thame but Po had no feelings for Jun. He's just a proud man trying to cover up his hurt because he knows that it is pointless to go on when Thame confronted him.
From what I saw a while ago, GMMTV had to present potential actors to the original Japanese company, and they…
Someone actually did their homework because Earth is just perfect for this role. If you watched them in their reality shows such as Earth Mix Space and especially Safe House, then you know Earth is in fact like the biggest kid ever. It's good to see him play up that side of his in a series, coz he is just comedy gold.
I cannot believe the initial rating is 7.6 why is this so low! GMMTV invested a lot into this production and it shows, this looks like a proper K-drama gosh even Est is giving off Nam Joo Hyuk vibes with the way he looks, acts and even the role he plays! William is just phenomenal at this point what can this man not do? I didn't expect to tear up during the first episode, my only criticism is why everything is moving so fast, or is it just me?
Solid first episode except for the sound production, I hope they fix the sound issues in future episodes. From what was alluded to in the episode, this series was inspired by The Taming of the Shrew. It's been a while since I read Shakespeare, is Joong's character supposed to be the shrew here? Also I don't understand why people here are saying that Joong can't act, I have watched him since Two Moons 2 and his acting always seems effortless and believable to me. His real life persona is so different from his roles. Is he Gun Attaphan level no but comeon he has such on-screen charisma and the boy can act.
How is Qi Jiahao still in school after all the crap he has pulled? This boy almost got the English Teacher SA'd…
Honestly they should have, I think he was the one responsible for locking Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian in the gym. He was very suspicious when he told their classmates that Sheng Wang bailed on them for dinner and went back to the dorms to study.
For those who read the novel, is the teacher love triangle plot originally in the novel? It honestly is irritating me now. Like the 2 male teachers has known each other for 8 years and they both don't know they are attracted to each other? Like i thought they were already a couple when they were first introduced in the restaurant scene.
I know its only Ep. 4 but I'll make the call that this is definitely the best made BL series GMMTV produced this 2024 so far, this is a well written and sophisticatedly acted series. This series is not for those who only watches BL for the fluff, this actually has depth and anyone with a critical eye can see how well-crafted the story-telling and cinematic production is. This may become THE BEST work-place drama I've seen in BL so far, hopefully I don't jinx it by calling it this early. LOL!
Omg P’Jane never i have ever been seduced by a character who wasn’t even trying to be seductive but was just doing his job. Like seriously Off cannot be any hotter in this role.
I really enjoyed the show honestly, but am I the only one wondering why they never addressed what happened to the new Joe, to the person Joe switched with? I mean yeah I know he's a goner but I would've wished they somehow addressed this like maybe old Joe feeling bad being in new Joe's body. If my body switched with another person's body, I would definitely feel bad that the other person died and feel guilty that I am masquerading as him in his body. I wished they showed a scene in the final episode resolving this lose end. Maybe a scene where the old Joe and Ming goes and visit the cemetery where old Joe's cremains are and have old Joe vow to the other Joe that he will live his best life moving forward as him so that he somehow didn't die in vain?
