okay so i was not so confused before i saw the confusion in the comment section haha My take is: the last kissing…
Maybe you're right, but he was really into his girlfriend and he was really sad when she dumped him because of his stepbrother's schemes! Also, he seemed to be very happy when she returned! I think we really need a second season to tying up all the loose ends! Maybe he is bisexual and want to keep them both!🤣
How could Boss be so silly and so 🔥🔥😍hot😍🔥🔥 at the same time! This series is hilarious and BossNoeul doing a superb job as always! Their genuine chemistry is off the charts as usual even in the middle of all that silliness! Only these two can make me laugh and drool at the same time and when they are just staring into each other's eyes it melts my heart and can't stop swooning over them! They are my sweetest addiction and there's no cure for me!
This time I'm here to rant, no pretending otherwise! So this review won't be a balanced, well reasoned, post , just me fuming about the last 2 episodes! Since everyone already spoiled the ending, I see no need for hiding it, so read it by your own choice!
Way to ruin a bloody fair tale! I'm seriously baffled why the writers even bothered with all that drama if they just snuffed out the main reason why many of us, hopelessly romantic women of all ages who basically relived our childhood fairy tales through this series until this point!
I'm not ashamed to admit it, that I was having a ball with this story, especially in this day and age when the world around us is all messed up and we all could use the fantasy of another world to lift up our spirits for an hour or two!
Yes, it's a cliche and maybe even a bit childish, but that's exactly what many of us signed up for! Every little girl (and many little boys as well I'm sure!) inside us who grew up watching all the Disney fairy tales got to come out for a fleeting moment, just feel carefree once again, just to get lost in a dream that makes us happy!
Instead of a dream, we were slapped with some modern crap of "a monarchy is so overrated, the only woman that's worth something is a career oriented one and hold off on the offspring until further notice" that turned my stomach! The writers basically turned that other realm into a modern day slop!
Someone, please, tell me what was the point of this series? After all the scheming, all that plotting and the fight against them to stabilize the monarchy and protect and save the Crown, the newly crowned King said "Nah, thanks! I just wanted to see how does it looks on me, but it's just not my style!" EXCUSE ME????!!!!
I don't know who's unhinged brain-fart was the last 2 episodes, but the amount of damage they managed to produce is quite remarkable! Maybe, they should be hired to do horror series instead, because they've got a pretty warped mind that's for sure!
It's been quite a while since I got this mad and bitterly disappointed about something that should be there for entertainment! Maybe it's a Korean cultural thing that I can't really understand, but as a Westerner now I see why "The King: Eternal Monarch" flopped in Korea but was such a success world wide!
I guess from now on I will stay clear from any type of modern monarchy K-dramas and it will take something pretty extraordinary to convince me to watch it for the foreseeable future! Of course, this is just IMHO as always!
So, season 2 has ended and in closing I would like to put my 2 cents in for whatever it worth if I may!
Many netizens are unhappy about the JackDean outcome and I was thinking, maybe, just maybe a few things should be pointed out from the "other side's" point of view!
1. Life is a very messy journey even for the mature and wise ones, so when we add teenage/ young adult impulsiveness, immaturity, recklessness and a complete hormone explosion that fuels all consuming passion to the itinerary, what we just saw makes perfect sense! 2. Life is never a clear cut black or white, good or bad, right or wrong path! Even the most level headed and "righteous" adult makes many mistakes and chose to do something questionable in certain circumstances! These young men where nowhere near to be mature and experienced enough to make correct choices! 3. Anyone who's foolish enough to think that he/she would've made the "right" decisions without ever been in the kind of relationship where loving someone hurts so much, but you would keep trying to fix the situation over and over again should try to put themselves into their shoes for a moment or two!! 4. Loving someone or being in love is not a rational/ logical state of mind! People would do crazy, unthinkable, irrational, dangerous, self-sabotaging and self-harming things for love or because of love! 5. When love hurts, hope, forgiveness and fighting for to heal, change and save the relationship will often overtakes rationality and self-preservation! 6. Anyone who's ever had a loved one or a romantic partner who had or developed an addiction or went down on a wrong path would perfectly understand why JackDean's relationship concluded the way it did in the end! 7. It's extremely hard to give up on someone whom you love so deeply, so helplessly, so desperately that even being hurt over and over again becomes more tolerable to you than being without him/her! 8. Toxic relationships are the hallmark of love becoming and addiction itself! It's the ultimate catch 22! 9. Knowing and doing the right thing for yourself and/or your loved ones are two different things and in a dire situation where you are already emotionally compromised is one of of the hardest thing you'll ever do! 10. The threshold of tolerance for pain and the strength to keep fighting for love is an individual marker that everyone must decide for themselves! Everyone's breaking point is different! 11. Judging or hating a flawed person (not talking about hard core, violent criminals of course!) is meaningless, because it won't change anything neither for the ones who are in a toxic relationship nor to those who cares about them! 12. Even in real life, things could turn out to be for the best! People can change, we can see that all around us! A junkie gets cleaned up, an alcoholic gives up the bottle, a gambler holds onto his/her assets and a cheater becomes monogamous! Why? Because someone loved them enough and was able to endure more hardship and fought for them long enough and kept giving them help and just one more chance to get through it all! 13. Until you face and go through an all consuming love that could potentially break a person's spirit by yourself, all judgement and hind side opinions are pointless! 14. Healing and change could come from many sources and time and distance is one of the main reasons why a relationship can be mended or finalized in a positive way! 15. There's nothing else in this world that a human would willingly sacrifice anything and everything including themselves for than love!
In conclusion, the ending of this series made perfect sense to me and lets not forget, that this is just a snippet from the JackDean saga! In real life a relationship like theirs goes through many cycles, especially when they're just stepped into adulthood! BTW, I also hope that we'll get a season 3! Of course this is just IMHO as always!
Oh, boy this episode gave me such heartache!💔 This series is criminally underrated as far as I'm concerned! This is the kind of BL that hits you in the feels with a single look that makes your eyes tear up and you wish that you could reach through the screen to hug poor Xiang Yong and tell him it's going to be OK! Taiwanese BLs have the tendency to go far an open and/or ambiguous ending, so I'm holding my breath here, hoping for a positive outcome for once! In today's messed up world I prefer more happy endings than usual, because the balance of the scales started to tilt towards negativity/darkness in the real world and I need more positive vibes in my chosen escape world! Of course this is just IMHO as always and I'll see you next week!
Ah, finally, Fluke is in the house! SaengNuea looks like a good fit for this role and I'm excited to see him and Fluke managing that payment plan for the next 7 weeks!!🤣
OK, confession time! Please, regard my comments about this series as ultra biased, extremely blind to all and any flaw (BossNoeul has no such thing!) and an all around fangirling sap!
Now that's out of the way, let me tell you that besides the megatons of sound effects that inserted after every 5 sentences I'm loving this BL to bits! It's the kind of comedy that pokes funny holes into the "rich man's unconditional but unrequited love" trope! You know the one when the perfect rich guy dotes on a cutie, always in a background, taking care of or helping out his love interest from behind the scenes while nursing his own aching heart, watching his beloved being interested in and/or involved with someone else!
So, we've got hiya Fu, all over Moo-Moo, basically openly stalking and annoying him on a daily basis in the most hilarious manner! Boss absolutely making fun of himself with every move, every look and every word he utters from minute one! He is so over the top, but still so bloody hot and sexy at the same time that even when laughing at his antics I want to crawl into the screen on all four to worship him at his feet! *Drop kicks the hormones....DOWN GIRL! BAD KITTY!
On the other hand, Noeul is the quintessential college boy with the face that just makes you want to kiss non stop, eyes that you want to let yourself lost in and the smile to melt you into a puddle of goo! Hiya Fu's obsession with Moo-Moo is totally legit! I mean who wouldn't want Noeul as a boyfriend/partner/wifey? Not to mention, that we all know how his body looks like without a shirt these days! Have you seen those images from Songkran or on insta??!! He might be playing a student once again, but beneath that outfit there is a man that just oozing hotness like a lava flow! *Another kick to those pesky hormones and good to go once again...
No matter how funny this BL spoof is and how outrageously over the top it is in every aspect, when Boss and Noeul are just looking at each other their chemistry hits you like a tornado! Boss says something hysterical and you find yourself laughing, then the next moment he looks at Noeul with those intense, hungry eyes of his, the camera pivots to Noeul and he's got that "caught off-guard" look in his eyes and there's an instant connection between them that makes your heart skip a beat! This BL is as goofy and light hearted as it gets, but underneath all that the chemistry between them is genuine and palpable no matter what's going on around them!
As I've stated in the first lines in my post, I'm nowhere near objective when it comes to BossNoeul and I don't pretend otherwise, but it's irrelevant when it comes to the incredible bond that these two men share both on and off camera! Their every interactions are just as natural as breathing and to me, it doesn't matter if in real life they are sharing physical intimacy or not, because it's clear to see that they are honestly loving and caring for each other! That's the reson why this BL spoof works! There is no pretending, no faking it, nothing is forced or staged or acted out when it's between them! Naturally, being their diehard fangirl, I wish that real life and fantasy could produce the same outcome and one day there will be a wedding and a happily ever after, but I'm really happy just to see them supporting and loving each other for the rest of their lives in whatever form that may be!
So, for the next 9 weeks I'll be back here to ramble and swoon and fangirling about my ultimate bias BL pair and I'm not going to apologize for it, because who knows how long will they stay in the industry and I don't want to miss a single minute of it! Of course this is just IMHO as always and I'll see you next Saturday!
Maybe you can read the novel while waiting. Mommy Mflow, shared Knot the novel with us 2 hours ago 🥹✨🤍…
Oh no worries! I LOVED the opening chapter! It is really well written and the translation seems pretty good to me as well! Hopefully we'll get the rest of the story too, but if not, I'm still happy to get even this much prior to the series! Once again, thanks so much for the link!❤️
Maybe you can read the novel while waiting. Mommy Mflow, shared Knot the novel with us 2 hours ago 🥹✨🤍…
OMG!! 🫢 Thanks a million!❤️ I'm not sure if I can handle that much hotness and keep my marbles intact with BoatOat's visuals stuck in my head and reading the actual story at the same time!🤣🤣🤣 This calls for some chocolate and a Moscato d'Asti even before I sit down to read it! Adding candle light and smooth jazz would be a tad too much right? On the other hand, is there such a thing as too much when it comes to the Omegaverse or BoatOat?
Well, episode 8 is elevated this BL big time for me and it's not because of the NC scene! Yes, the NC scene was absolutely beautiful and it is one of the best I've ever seen, but it's the emotional impact and the acting that truly topped the scale!
This episode was so jam packed with deep, soul-snatching moments that I caught myself holding my breath and getting tearful more than a few times! From all aspects, ep 8 is very special! From the cinematography through the masterful camerawork to the superb acting it all came together to create magic! This is the kind of visual and emotional mastery that will stay with you for a very long time!
To be honest, the previous episode already pushed my rating of this BL higher and I was anticipating the MCP's reconnection to be emotional, but I wasn't prepared for what they served up for us at all! It's been a while since I was this surprised and impressed with a Taiwanese BL and this series reminded me why I like them so much!
It looks like that next week we are in for a bumpy ride once again and I can hardly wait to see what's in store for them and for us! My only complaint is that I have to wait a whole week for ep 9! Of course, this is just IMHO as always and I'll see you next Thursday!
So season 2 is basically confirmed by He Chang Xi and He Yan Zhao! Not kidding! The link below shows our MLs reacting to the final episode and by their commentary there's no mistake that season 2 is coming! Obviously, if you didn't see the last episode yet DON'T watch it!
Also, he seemed to be very happy when she returned!
I think we really need a second season to tying up all the loose ends!
Maybe he is bisexual and want to keep them both!🤣
This series is hilarious and BossNoeul doing a superb job as always!
