Although the cast chemistry are great, but I find the storyline of this series a bit messy. It is going back and forth on the present and the history between the 2 Male leads that I got very confused on what is going on. I don’t get the continuity between some scenes. It was not easy to finish it though I stayed cause the series is short and their kisses are nice to watch.

Also not to forget she stole Yoon Hee’s boyfriend to become her husband with her family wealth. She didn’t push her Father, but she struggled with him for the document on his hand and he fell down the stairs. The bad thing she did is she choose to not call for ambulance or any help and left her father to his death.

Everything is going so well this episode, it was really fun to watch. I thought BJK (real JDT) is going to be such a waste of his character just by being a trash in the end but at least he served to be useful in the plot to mess up JDT and CSJ’s relationship to further turn against each other. JBH having a sound mind again is good to watch too, where everyone works together to destroy JDT and CSJ by using each other’s names. JSK is so class this episode when visit JDT in the mental prison. She is classy usually, but this classiness at the end is just another level. Damn good to show this darn JDT to eat his own medicine.

I gave a like to your comment, as I agree that there are some “awkwardness” moment to Edan’s acting in between the show. But compared to the original Japanese actor who is an experienced actor and a Ossan himself, Edan being 24 irl still have a long way to go. I believed there must be a reason why they wanted Mirror to cast on this remake, even though there may be other potential actors that could have done a better job, but I respect that. Because of them as cast, I got to know Mirror.

In comparison to Anson’s acting, Edan has more acting exposure in the drama because of Tin’s role, and the skills required for the act are also of a higher level than the role of SM. All these funny expressions of Tin like a joke is not the same as what we saw on SM, whom only smile, laugh and cry in SM’s portrayal with nice image if you get what I mean.

I partially agree with you. However, I would like to point out that Ossan can be a term to describe men past their 40’s too. It is a casual way to say it although if you want to nitpick and be more specific, then of course there are terms like Ojisan that can be used instead, I understand. You are right about the Japanese original’s title.

Now, why is there such change - The Ossan adapted here is actually referring to the role of KK, and not Tin. There is 1 episode where SM actually call KK “Ossan” in Cantonese via Chinese translation “大叔”. Adapting the original story in a remake usually will have some new elements that doesn’t follow the original. Else changing of cast with the exact same storyline has no point right? Everyone can just watch via English Sub since both original and remake are in a language/dialect that not everyone can understand. If everything follows the same, other than the cast difference and language used for audiences who don’t understand both Japanese and Cantonese, why bother have 2 of the same thing but just cast and language different? (Acting skills too)

As an Asian myself who is a Chinese, and as I watched episodes till the finale for this remake, I can confirm that the title Ossan is not referring to Tin but KK. I agree that this adaptation may have been done to appeal to other age groups like what you mention. In a way, Mirror fans are excited.

It’s Baek Jun Hee, Baek Jun Kee’s sister. She’s dead it seems, with their mother

Nice! I knew #EdAnson is end game, but still got worried there may be a plot twist during the marriage walk over.

I love the cast over the original, this may be a personal preference as the plot is secondary. SM sure look more and more attractive each episode as compared to the first when I saw him. But they are much more compatible and have great chemistry probably because they are from Mirror.

A recommended watch anytime!

Kudos to both KK and Tin wearing wedding dresses. KK is really cute in this. The actor playing this is bearable to watch maybe because he is actually kinda good looking as compared to the Japanese original cast.

Anyways, last episode tmr and I can’t wait. I can see that Tin and SM will be end game. I ship!!!
#EdAnson

This show I would honestly rate one of the better BLs out there.

I’ve watched quite a number of Thai
BLs for example and yet I have also dropped tons of them too. Their script and acting could either get too cringe or boring that I have no desire to look forward to the next episodes. But this one from Hong Kong, the combination of romance and comedy is good that I looked forward to every episode. Although they adapt the main story from the original Japan series, but having some twists to it give this show more originality on its own. I think the twists are good, rather than to use different actors and let them perform the same thing as the original Japan version is all about, that will be too boring and predictable.

First of all, Tin is not a Straight whom turn Gay. He loves SM because it’s SM and not because he is a guy. This actually does happen to real life for a person who is straight but falls for a guy not because he turned gay, but love is love. Such straight typically will not fall for other guys because they are actually still straight, but they fell for someone whom happened to be a guy.

Another thing I want to highlight is that the main plot and title is named Ossan’s Love. Meaning, KK is the key plot of this show. I don’t find his actions to be creepy because he just happened to fall in love and feeling young once again. Age is just a number, as shown with Louis and Francesca’s relationship which actually happen to quite a number of people in real life. Definitely, if Tin is acceptable with the age difference, then there is no problem. The problem is Tin actually minds, and he is not Gay. Hence KK’s persistence could get annoying to some of us but he is the Man to this show. Else this love story should have been renamed as TinMuk Series for example, but it’s not. I personally find KK and his actions to be funny, comedic and cute. It’s amazing that this actor actually wants to take up this role. I think he did a really good job. True love waits for no one, so if you don’t even try, you probably won’t have any hope. To keep loving someone and confess despite countless rejections, really show that this person really love a person. I think as a human, KK is not at all creepy because he’s fighting for his love. But of course, he is old, hence I guess some of us feel it’s creepy or disgusting for him to pursue someone who is at the age of His Son (if he has any).

You replied to the wrong person

Yes, living under same roof but not in same room. I believed their country and culture has yet to opened up so much. Will require time, might not happen in this show but we still have 3 episodes left to go

I don’t get why people thought the whole thing at Tai O is a dream when SM obviously has recovered and KK & Tin are back from Taiwan. The dream was to show SM thinking Tin taking care of him but didn’t cause Tin was still in Taiwan. I could tell that but not sure why people took the scene chronologically when it is just an extra.

It is not a dream

I think you misunderstood what the last fever scene was about. SM was sick and he dreamt that Tin was around to take care of him. He recovered in the end and the trip to Tai O is real because they took off and KK&Tin already came back from Taiwan. I could tell what this scene is about so I am not sure why people could mistook things to be a dream.

The redemption of OYH is good, glad she chose to face the reality than to escape via death despite her child “died”. Mr Ha was a jerk when talking about revenge, but his submission to his crime and made everyone involved real guilty when they all tried their best to deny, I give that to him. All the crimes involved from S1 to S2 so far have all been addressed well.

But still quite sad to see what sparks S3 will be Revenge for Logan. It is still fortunate that he didn’t turn a villain though. JDT still has power despite in jail. SSR will need to work her plans well against these new villains on her own now.

Is it just me or the detective played by Kim Dong Young look quite alike to Kim Young Dae who played JSH, especially in some of the scenes in Ep 11?

This was one of the drama that got me hooked. I personally feel for the best experience of Penthouse S1 is to enjoy all the actings of the cast and the storyline, without getting towards the side of “Oh, the good guys should win or get their revenge”, because there are 2 more seasons so we should expect that the Good guys won’t win for this one.

I watched till the latest for Penthouse S2 and wanted to see similar past/ongoing dramas that I might have missed out and I came across/heard on Sky Castle. I see a bit of resemblance of Sky Castle to Penthouse but personally feel that Penthouse is easier to watch.

She was presumed dead but actually was alive according to the latest episode. The romance was on and off for JSH and BRN due to OYH accused of murdering SSR, but their relationship sparks more in season 2

She was saved by SSR and then later gain consciousness to stop JDT for getting the property under her name as if she was dead and then much later went to the States

1) JDT asked the twins whose necklace it was because JSH suspected him to be the killer. JDT want make known to the kids that’s HEB is the killer, while hiding the fact that he is the real killer. So far I feel the scene where Ep 10 shows JDT stabbing BRN head and trigger the alarm later is consistent as he disappeared during the scene at Ep 6.

2) I partially agree with you on the inconsistency, but I realised when JDT had the trauma, the blood is due to his own injury, and not the case if he got it while injuring someone else, like stabbing SSR or BRN.

3) JDT just take the opportunity for his own advantage. Using his daughter is part of the excuse, but everyone knows BRN is the biggest threat for the Cheong A Grand Prize, and having BRN gone means JSK, who got the Gold prize will be the next to have the free pass to the University. BRN did won the Grand Prize after all. If she is still around, JSK won’t be the first. And JDT cared about JSK’s education after all, even if she has no skills, He will do whatever it takes to make her get that spot. He has done a lot of things for her to get this far. So killing BRN for JSK is not a surprise, as he can do anything underhand to make his daughter the top “Singer.”

4) I think you didn’t see properly, the Trophy really only have 1 wing hanging. The right wing towards the audience eye is missing.

5) JDT is the only one who kills without blinking an eye after all. There is no other villain who dared to do such thing.

JDT is confirmed the killer, but it’a attempt murder since BRN managed to survive at the end of Ep 10.
