Ok. Pure and Folk just made this infinitely more interesting. Pure has always been my favorite character so I suppose it's not all that surprising. Their dynamic and the fact that they're so completely opposite - with one being an infinite romantic and the other an infinite hedonist who eschews romantic emotional attachments - officially has me invested enough to want to know how this is going to play out. Pure has walls built a mile high, and obviously, I'm hoping Folk ends up being the person Pure feels safe enough to let see behind them, The fact that he sees Folk as a golden retriever has interesting implications. We're pretty far into the series, so I'm thinking we probably won't see much development from these two so I may have to delve into the novel to have my curiosity satisfied hah.

Lol no I think you're right. It's weird, but sometimes I think it's more common for people to write out criticism over praise? So I guess sometimes we end up seeing more of one over the other? I don't know. I honestly can't remember exactly haha it feels like so long ago since season 1 and I could be misremembering as well. Maybe I just tuned out the criticism because I really did enjoy season 1 (for the most part). I probably did myself a disservice by re-watching season 1 before watching this, since now I can't help but compare the two in my head.

This was absolutely 100% a money grab. Disappointed but not surprised considering neither Mame nor New wanted to do the second series to begin with and were talked into it. I had hopes of improvement after episode 7 but it still feels flat to me. I kept trying to pinpoint what was bothering me so much about this series, other than the obvious, and I think I've narrowed it down to the way Mame decided to portray Tin this time. I'm sure it's just a personal preference on my end, but I don't like this Tin as much. He's a wet blanket. Maybe it was just me but I felt like there was an anger that carried him through interactions with his brother in the first season that seems to be written out of his character now. There was a bitterness and will to prove himself that made him feel more like a fighter rather than a doormat. I get trying to portray that he hasn't moved beyond the sad little boy he was, but it just feels...pathetic? He had been hurt but he had never felt beaten until now, it just feels like he's given up entirely. I don't know, it's hard to watch for me. At least I can appreciate some of the cute moments between him and Can, but I still don't feel a romantic love from them. It feels more like he's clinging to the first bit of warmth and loyalty he's gotten in his life and I would hope that's not intentional. Anyway, just my own thoughts now that we're headed into the finale.

That's strange. The first season of LBC was one of the most loved and hyped of it's year, from what I remember anyway. Sure there were people who didn't like Saint or Perth for various reasons but they were far outnumbered by the people who really loved them. People tend to be more critical on here in general so that might have been what skewed things, but Saint was actually probably the most popular actor to come out of LBC, it's why he had a ton of support and people flipped their shit when they discovered he was being treated poorly. In my opinion Saint and Perth were the best actors in season 1. People complain about Saint's characterizations when...that's what Pete is like lol it's not Saint at all. If you've ever seen him in real life or in Why R U you realize what a massive difference he brought in his portrayal of Pete. That's not to say that he's a stellar actor, and I think Perth is better, but both of them were miles above any one else in season 1 IMO.

Do you happen to know what the letter and documents at the end say?

Can anyone tell me what the letter and documents at the end say? I feel like I'm missing some understanding of what happens at the end because those weren't translated in the version I watched.

Overall this movie is very...ambiguous. That's the best word I can think of to describe it. You're left feeling very uncertain about a lot of things with the characters. To me sometimes movies like this feel a little unsatisfying, which I think is the feeling I'm left with now after watching.

I have to say it, one of the worst series we've gotten in 2020 and that's saying something. I'm honestly trying to process how anyone is supposed to know what the hell is going on if they haven't read the novels because good god is the writing bad. More than half the story is missing, the characters are basically caricatures (not surprising), and the chemistry between the actors is glaringly non-existent. I have yet to see anything resembling romantic love from Tin and Can, there is love between them but I don't think it's the kind of love you're in a physical relationship with someone with. I mean for heaven's sake how many cut-aways have we had of them because there's obviously a clear reluctance on likely one or the other's part to participate in physical intimacy. I would rather they just not have scenes like that at all, they aren't really necessary and it just highlights how much they aren't comfortable together. Who wants to see that? I'm begging now, please let this be the final series. No more. Who knew they would end up doing Saint a favor kicking him out of this mess?

The only reason he has a wife and a son is because he's trying to be the perfect heir. He doesn't love his wife, or is interested in her at all. They don't even live together. I don't know the details of how she got pregnant but she's basically a means to an end for him, though Tul choosing to be with her is the reason Hin decides to leave for a time.

Oh man, this was good. Like really good. I can't wait to watch the next episode.

Good to know! Thank you!

I'm already being seduced by this. The tiny d*ck masks lmao what even? This is an aside but they also both have beautiful eyes, very expressive.

Kurosawa is peak prince material and Adachi is so awkwardly adorable you can't help but be drawn in by him. I'm completely charmed by this whole series. I can't wait for the second couple to develop because...cats. Anyone can fall in love over a shared love of cats (or anything soft and fluffy haha).

I didn't say it was a sad ending though lol one could say it's a fatalistic one with most relationships these days.

The soundtrack is excellent! I've already shazamed so many songs lol and added them to my Spotify playlist.

I'm so in love with the series. It's lighthearted and cute, but also touches on real issues and emotions. I am so impressed by the dialogue and the slow but steady character development as we dive into each of them, even Ana! Highly recommend watching, it's been such a joy so far. There's a realism and human quality to this that is really connecting with me. Also, small thing but can I also point out how excellent the soundtrack is? My spotify is getting so many ads from this series.

Same. No way I'm supporting this mess. I'm honestly kind of hoping if Mame's projects start doing poorly they'll stop picking them up, or at the very least giving her the freedom to dictate anything to do with them. I fully blame her for the trainwreck we've gotten this season.

I'm actually not sure? Hopefully someone else will know to give you an answer :)

I'm so behind Terrence and Wesley but I really hope Achilles gets his own satisfying happy ending, he clearly deserves it. Also, I'm hoping Achilles is the lead or one of the leads in the new series, we need more male leads like him!

Yeah, it's pretty bad.

I don't know how or why (if their parents ever find out or what) but I think Tin ends up heading the family business and ends up with everything so...I can only assume the truth comes out? Maybe someone else will clarify haha I don't think the novels were ever fully translated but I had to drop Breath it was too much for me.
