I'm getting that feel too. Thai FL here is trying too hard to make herself look cool which makes it seem unnatural and forced. Korean FL just seems like she is acting herself and the chemistry with ML there is like great partners. Happiness is one of my favorite zombie shows so I have high expectations for any adaptation.

I love watching the korean version, but unfortunately both leads here does not have the same chemistry. HHJ was sassy and chill but FL here is too serious. The zombies here is too overly done as in too gory here. I guess it's average so far but it's also hard to outdo the original one too.

I got the idea of how the storyline is heavy, dark and emotionally exhausting. I was hyped of hearing ZLH and WCH pairing since they weren't able to TFF but was on the fence that this project would be their first collaboration. I rather they be in a rom-com or light melodrama.

She won me over with her acting in her last drama the best thing. Hope you gets good projects.

What a gem. Not sure how I missed this one. So much better in terms of acting, chemistry and storyline than his most recent Passionate in Love. The only remark I have is his hairstyle.

Thank you! I've said before too that I don't hold hostility towards the actress personally, I do question her and the director's choice - whatever clauses she has with her agency is their problem and production crew - but I just look at end results and just evaluating it based on the storyline, adaptation to the novel and acting. We can't deny that the intimate scenes are crucial and significant for this show. I don't like arguing with the die-hard fans cause they irrationally defend their idols even if they did a bad job, just one where they openly admitted to never watched the show but came in to police other's opinions irks me to no end. Glad you enjoyed my review!

Haha yeah she's acting like she's controlling her dog who is hopelessly in love with her. That hotel scene zapped all the passion out of him - she's a mood spoiler and you can see it in his eyes lol - they really should rename the title to "passionlessly out of love!"

I hear you. I don't like wishy characters that play mind games and with low EQ. LHC feels so awkward to watch sometimes, she just doesn't do romance well and it shows. When they have a serious moment of starring at each other, she breaks that and just smiles like she enjoys being in control and playing with him. I loved the scene where ML confronted her about her cluelessness.

Lol girl you read my mind. Gu Yan seemed like the better choice. I am head scratching why ML chose to love FL, sometimes I was like he got stuck in some toxic relationship and couldn't get out. FL is emotionally distant and in her own world most of the time, has low EQ and just doesn't give a care in the world. When ML wanted to kiss her in the hotel, she just stopped him, asked him if he ain't mad anymore and told him to go for a jog to calm down. LMAO, like who wrote this? I can't anymore with the director who doesn't seem to know romance.

I don't know about that. I think there was some controversy there in HL but it wasn't as heated there. Interesting it was overshadowed by ZLS acting, I don't usually watch her shows a lot but she really did execute SZ to perfection, felt she just has a knack for the romance genre and she played it very convincing like she was straight out of the novel. FL here felt hard to watch, it was a mismatch to the novel character.

1 - minor love triangle not intense at all just a crush from the third party; 2 - around ep 10 to 11; 3 - they separated when he moved to another country but he came back to stay in the same school as her to get back with her; 4 - happy ending but very bland few episodes.

Have this started filming? I see Alec is the director. This should be interesting. When is this going to air?

Yup it was a disappointment for sure. It didn't help that I read the novel before watching. Ugh.

Ok it's finally done. Final question for you all, what do you rate this hot mess?

I mean you see them about to kiss but you are shown the wall, sky and window in that order. Quite literally. No real kiss just pretend ones.

It was a weird casting choice to begin with. So people are rightfully frustrated by it. For me, it definitely soured that they pulled these tricks to fool the audience. So there's a mix of frustrated viewers and LHC die-hard fans defending her for people bashing her. Some comments more constructive but others outright mean. I didn't like her acting but it was hard to reason with the die-hards cause they yelling out others for having an opinion are haters and weirdos with IQ problems but their biases clouded their judgments.

It's actually complicated. FL supposedly has this no-kiss clause but she or her agency picked up a script, as you know titled "passionately in love" adapted from a novel where there are heated intimate scenes. So people respect that she has boundaries but head scratching why she walked into a genre where it requires it. And even more so why the director chose no-kiss actress for this. So the production team botched up the fake kiss scenes really poorly and everybody is frustrated cause they should've just left it out instead if it cannot be delivered for a romance drama. In addition, there isn't much plot to it.

You just saved yourself from a lot of pain and frustration. I enjoyed the first 5, it had some issues but not unwatchable until it went downhill. FL's personality is so off putting and not just cause of those infamous non-kiss scenes. I don't know if she was suppose to be this sassy woman but she came off as a narcissist. Sometimes I feel like she's from another dimension. ML is just a love sick puppy. The whole dynamic was like the FL owns and feeds him and he is forever loyal to her. I mean if you call that romantic whatever flows then. Visually both leads look compatible and appears has the right formula to make it a success on paper but it's steering towards a train wreck. The last few episodes were very boring that I nearly fell asleep. I had this on my watchlist. Damn so much potential but so little substance. Quite disappointed.

Nope.

Yup there goes the fake kiss controversy. It's becoming a heated topic on the thread more so than the drama.
