Maybe I'm the dumb one but why is Koh asking a guy who look nothing like him physically, to pretend to be him?When…
Koh can’t even be in the same room as other people — at that point, we’re clearly dealing with a psychiatric disorder. Even with his butler, they interact from a distance. The night he went to the restaurant, it was an exercise requested by his psychiatrist; it took real effort for him. So the fact that he’s able to be near Jira is unexpected. That’s what makes him want to hire Jira to pretend to be him.
For those who didn’t like it, you need to understand that it’s more of a lakorn than a series. So it’s normal for everything to be completely exaggerated: the story, the acting, the staging… It actually makes it kind of funny in a way.
I'm going to add a comment under my comment with what I think will happen in the next episode, with a spoiler…
In my opinion, Pheem didn’t destroy the USB drive where he and his sister are seen abusing the pharmacist and which proves their brother’s involvement in the fentanyl deal. He’s going to expose everything publicly, along with all the illegal actions committed by his family, including himself and his father. The consequences will be that the family empire collapses and his whole family, including him, ends up in prison (or at least in serious legal trouble). But thanks to this, Than will be cleared of the embezzlement accusations and will be able to return to his position in the police. Than will forgive Pheem. They’ll end up together after Pheem has served his prison sentence (or finished dealing with the legal consequences).
This is a massive misperception. There are plenty of people who haven't kissed people or been on a relationship…
I never said "never been in a relationship", I said "never kiss". And I never said that's it's impossible, I said "hard to believe". Anyway, all this change nothing to the fact that the main character of this show is annoying to me.
been a while since i saw this too. but i get what u r saying, just in the food poisoning incident i am pretty…
In one of the following scenes, they explain that the police investigation showed she had been poisoned earlier that day at the café (she even mentions to Shu Nian a coffee she drank that was served by a rude guy). I don’t think she’s adding anything to make Shu Nian look guilty — he’s not a threat to her anyway. She’s convinced that Xie Yan would never dare defy tradition by calling off the wedding.
I came across your review by chance. And yes, I can confirm — the English subs are terrible! To answer your question, if I remember correctly (I haven’t watched this movie in a long time), Alice was Xie Yan’s puppy. Shu Nian always feels like he’s just a substitute for that dog, which really shows how little self-esteem he has and why he keeps letting people walk all over him.
As for the girl who insists on marrying Xie Yan: what she’s actually looking for is to keep her freedom, knowing that refusing to marry is unthinkable (especially in upper-class Chinese families). So, marrying a gay man is an appealing option for her.
Besides, she’s perfectly aware that the love story between Xie Yan and Shu Nian can’t possibly last — Xie Yan is the sole heir of an extremely wealthy Chinese family. So when she goes to see Shu Nian, it’s mostly out of curiosity. She has no idea she was poisoned just a few hours earlier, and when the symptoms start while she’s eating Shu Nian’s shrimp, it’s only natural that she suspects him. It’s just an unfortunate coincidence.
