My first show that I watched was Ugly Duckling: Don't, a Thai series. You can check my profile to go through my drama history - I have elaborately described my first shows.
What's with this awfully low rating for such a wonderful short film? I really loved it. The ending is an open ending, so that might have confused viewers but I still don't get the low rating. Why people are giving high ratings for the aesthetic, fancy and over-hyped shows and giving a pretty low rating for good movies like this one?
I really like the story. One was out and proud and other one was closeted. Ming really showed the emotions and struggles of a closeted gay. And the conversations - they had hidden meanings and they were very meaningful. I hated Mak teacher who was homophobic, but when he rushed to help with Cheung's wound, I realized he wasn't cruel. Its his upbringing and his belief in Christian teachings made him despise homosexuality. I felt like this scene was a symbolism to indicate that in the end, we are all human and not just entities confined within the walls of religion, caste, race or color.
I think this isn't happening. So sad, the trailer had me hooked. Just remove this page someone, please. BTW, I have just realized that one of the actors have a main role on Monster Next Door. I am pretty much excited about that series so I am praying it doesn't blow off like this one!
I don't know but the kid playing Chul Soo looks like he could be the future son of Thai actor Jimmy, who was known for his BLs like Why R U? and Peach of Time.
I want to watch this, but its on Netflix only I guess. The one on Dailymotion is of bad quality. If someone finds it somewhere else with eng subs and good quality, let me know!
So, I jumped into this right after reading the description, not knowing it was tagged "comedy". I thought the show would be pretty dark, but it turned out to be dark comedy and I absolutely loved watching the show. I am not much of a romance lover unless its a BL, so I was fine with this drama having zero romance. Tbh, I have seen shows that try to have to the romance factor on top of the storyline and often it messes the show. So, big thumbs up for no romance!
I am a great fan of Yoon Shi Yoon ever since I watched Hit The Top. He is really built for these comedic roles. As for Jung In Sun, I had already seen her on Eulachacha Waikiki. For the first time, I had witnessed Park Sung Hoon's acting and seriously, he made me believe that he is a psychopath...that's how good his acting is. And Yoon Shi Yoon when he was turning as a psycho...like one moment, he is a cute, little puppy and then next moment, he is rolling his eyes and is giving killer vibes.
Like many, I was annoyed by Bo Gyeong's character. Yeah, she is a cop and needs to suspect everything but its sometimes creepy - more than the behavior of the psycho. She snoops around someone's house she barely knows, she wasn't a better cop or profiler - even Dong Shik seemed witty in front of her and unlike other female cops I have seen in dramas, she isn't strong. On the other hand, I wasn't annoyed by Dong Shik's stupidity or him being a naive pushover. As a person who is considered a pushover in most cases, I was able to relate to him. The reel recordings and film references were chef's kiss. And for Seo In Woo, I want to hate him, but I JUST CAN'T WITH THAT HANDSOME FACE. But, I was impressed with his taste in music. Happy with his fate though!
But the real MVP of the show were Alfred, Dong Shik's family and the 'suicide note' friend because they all believed with no doubts that Dong Shik is innocent. Other co-workers of Dong Shik, the Team Lead and Bo Gyeong's coworker cop were the other people I liked. Actually, I was shipping Bo Gyeong with that co-worker. And I loved Bo Gyeong's dad - especially the delusional Holmes dad.
Overall, its a very entertaining show. The OST 'I Just Wanna Be Bad' is stuck in my head. I loved how Dong Shik's new career and as a escape room enthusiast myself, I would like to work on that field as well. Everything was wrapped up and nice ending in my opinion. Will re-watch when I need a good laugh in future.
I saw the trailer for this months ago and was excited since ladyboys are rare topic. But, the comments are not helping. I don't want to watch that is something that is offending the LGBTQIA+ community. I don't want to support such a series.
How this series could be so under-rated? And how come this series is rated 7.9? Imo, it clearly should be above 8 if not more. I loved every moment of this show.
I am currently watching Psychopath Diary and I haven't yet watched Queen of Tears. His acting impeccable and I really want to see him in more projects as the hero. He doesn't deserve any of this hatred. Why people are judging actors based on the fictional characters they play? Morons!
Ok. So, in S1, at the end of ep 6, they showed a guy called Cal living in Rich's house and Greg and Tupe confronted him saying he doesn't love Rich and he is a conman. Now, in S2, there was no explanation to that scene. And did Rich just got intimate with a young guy and then next day he was with Dominic planning to go Japan? And got married to him like after a week? Isn't that too fast? And what's with Tupe dreaming of being intimate with Rich? OH GOD, WHAT A MESS!
