Completely Agree! I loved the Thai version, but if I had to pick I'd pick this one. I do wish they'd gotten a slightly longer runtime because I feel like FumaKai's storyline needed a little more time. Otherwise though, I really loved this version!

Yeah that's very true and would make alot of sense. I never thought about it that way.
I actually dont mind Kai's acting in this. While the character is being portrayed differently than how he was in the Thai version, I feel like the way he acts is very realistic to how someone may act if they'd gone through he trauma he had. Especially when he has memories or when he sees his ex again. I personally thought he acted those parts very well. But I know everyone is different so I can definitely respect and understand not everyone liking his acting.
I do agree about Peat. I felt like his crying scenes in LITA were awkward, but I feel like that whenever an actor has a crying scene and there are no tears. Not sure if this is true, but I remember seeing someone say in the original book Sky can't cry.. so if that is true that may explain why Peat doesn't actually cry as Sky in LITA.

I really liked that they made Kai seeing his ex the reason for him distancing himself again instead of it being him seeing Fuma with someone else. I wasn't really a fan of that in the original because I never understood why he would sit down and sort of be cuddly with that guy before turning him down, but thats what they had to do in order for Sky to misunderstand. I just feel like this fits better.

However, having that happen before they get intimate for the second time feels bassackwards only because they didn't change the dialogue.. Having Fuma find Kai's notebook where Kai admits his feelings and then having them get intimate where Fuma still says "I don't want just your body, I want your heart too." just doesn't make complete sense. He's already told Kai I love you and based on what he read in the notebook he would know that he kind of already did have Kai's heart.. Unless I'm remembering wrong, which is very possible cause I have a terrible memory, but I could've sworn it happened opposite in the original.

As I knew it would, Kai's feelings happened way too quickly in my opinion. I knew it would because of their very limited run time, but it was still disappointing. In my opinion, because of Kai's deep trauma from his past we needed more moments of Fuma caring for Kai and showing his feelings are genuine, before Kai trusting him and falling can be believable.

Putting that aside though, I'm really loving this version. I love both the actors and these couples so much, which is one of the reasons why I get so disappointed they weren't given a longer run time. However, I really love how they've mixed the stories a bit instead of just doing ArashiRei and then FumaKai. I didn't mind that in the original, but I think I actually like this a bit better. I just hope they have a good flow from storyline to storyline for the rest of the episodes. With two major events still needing to happen, the Rei kidnapping clearly happening next, I'm worried it's not going to have good pacing and will end up feeling choppy..

As I feared the FumaKai storyline is progressing way to quickly!
I knew because of runtime the pacing of both stories would be rushed, but this was to much too quickly for their storyline. I'm trying my best to not compare it to the original, but in this case I can't help it. Him already opening up to Fuma doesn't really bother me cause even in the original, despite not wanting to, he was becoming happy with certain things that Prapai would do. It's a little faster than I would have liked, especially given his history, but it didn't bother me as much.
In my opinion though, it is way too soon for Kai's ex to already be showing up. In the original, it happened after Prapai had broken down his walls and after they had been together for a little bit, so he felt at least a little bit of confidence in their relationship. He had been shown over a decent course of time that Prapai was someone he could trust not to treat him like his ex did. However, in this version for his ex to show up after they only barely started talking and having only been in each other's presence a couple times, seeing his ex would remind him why he's scared of getting close to someone again and why he doesn't want it. It would close him back off and he would start avoiding Fuma again.. We still have four more episodes so I don't understand why they felt the need to already bring his ex back into the picture already. I'm kind of hoping this is a dream, but I highly doubt it partially because of the runtime of the series.
I personally am still really enjoying this series though, and I'm interested to see how their story is going to go with the ex already being a part of it.

Yeah, whenever I read through the comments after an episode it feels like 90% of the people commenting hate the series. Which is completely fair, everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but it feels like every episode there are so few positive comments.

You're welcome 😊

I agree with you. I personally am loving this version! It has obviously been a bit rushed because of the runtime, but I loved Arashi and Rei's storyline so much and think the two actors who played them were the perfect choice! I was a little surprised that they didn't include the kidnap storyline and it made the ending with that side character feel kinda abrupt, but other than that I loved their storyline.
I can't say much for Fuma and Kai yet because we've only gotten one episode, but I've liked them so far. While they don't have the same level of chemistry as FortPeat, yet at least, I think they are doing a good job so far. I'm a little nervous they won't be able to tell this storyline well in runtime we have, but I'm not judging yet cause again it's been one episode.

Yeah that's what I had planned to do. I hadn't checked MDL to see how many episodes it was going to be so when Netflix dropped the first 6, I thought it was the whole series.. It wasnt until I watched episode 6 and it showed a preview for the next episode that I realized there was more 😅

I've been checking every day cause I'm dying to finish this, but sadly no luck 😔

Does anyone know when Netflix will air episodes 7-12? I thought someone said it'd be the 3rd of December but it hasn't aired yet so I was curious.

The filming crew scene was to show Qi Lu was able to follow his dreams and became a director. That was him directing a scene for whatever he was working on.

First off, I love Joong for this! Second, Joong is definitely right. For some reason Fadel sitting there smiling while thinking of Style just doesn't fit to me. He's mostly been annoying Fadel so far 😆 I think a sexual fantasy makes more sense, especially because of what happened in the sauna.

First, I just gotta say episode 9 was amazing!! I loved it so much. I adore both couples and just want to wrap them up and keep them safe.
Second, I am trying so hard to be optimistic about happy ending.. With everything all four of the main characters have gone through, I can't see how a sad ending would be good for this series. Some series have a sad ending and, despite me hating sad endings, it makes sense because of whatever was happening in the series. In my opinion though, for this series a sad ending just doesn't fit.. for either couple. All four of them have gone through so much pain and sadness and have found happiness because of each other, so to end this sad for either one would potentially ruin the series to me..
So as I said I'm trying to be optimistic that is going to be happy, but the flash forward of the potential future for Qi Lu and Qin Xiao scared me and put me on edge.. It gave off the 'what could have been' vibes.. I'm really praying I'm wrong because the series is phenomenal and all of them deserve happy endings!

For me, both weekly episodes dont air on Viki until later on Sunday. If I wanna watch it when it says it airs, I have to watch on Gagaoolala.

Right! With how beautiful this series is, it would be such a disappointment if it wasn't a happy ending for both couples! They deserve it!!

Yeah we will definitely suffer, but I could see it going either way for both couples. Despite the multiple reasons Liu has for not waiting to date Tan, he still fell for him anyway and I could easily see them struggling with those reasons but overcoming them.
Same with Qin Xiao and Qi Lu. His dad is definitely going to be a problem and I feel like he is going to find out and definitely will try to separate them. However I feel like Qi Lu is eventually going to break and not take any more of his father's crap. At least that's what I'm hoping for.. Other circumstances may also get in their way, but I feel like they would try to fight to be together.
I don't know.. I'm trying to be optimistic because, and maybe this is wishful thinking, I get happy ending vibes from this series. I'm scared it'll be a sad ending, but I get more happy ending vibes then sad.. Maybe that's just me though.

I love this series so much! I can't with Arm though 😆 I can't believe that after Arc's comment saying that he wanted to flirt with him a little longer, that Arm still didn't get that Arc liked him.. Then on top of that, it still took till the end of the episode for him to realize despite the multiple moments where Arc made it so obvious! How can somebody be this dense 😅 I'm glad that Arc finally came right out and said it, even kissing Arm, because I feel like that is what it was going to take for him to understand 😆
Sand as well though!! Unless they are already together and are keeping their relationship on the down low, when Po mentioned that both of them are finding partners even Sand acted surprised by it! Despite how obvious Sand and Pond seem to be to me about how they feel about the other person, somehow Sand can't see it! The way they look and smile at each other is enough to see the feelings they have for the other!
I can't with them, they drive me crazy! In a loving way though ☺️
I am loving this series so much 🥰🥰 Both ArcArm and PondSand are super adorable together, the friendships are so good, and there are so many hilarious moments! It's fantastic so far!

I'm really hoping and praying for a happy ending! I'm so terrified it'll be a sad ending, I'm really hoping I'm wrong because these two deserve to have a happy ending!

This is one of the most beautiful series I have ever seen! From the way the scenes are put together to the storyline itself, so far it is so phenomenal! There is so much depth and emotions in each episode, especially these later episodes, that it kinda takes a lot out of me when I watch. At the same time though, it fills me with so much joy!
There were so many sweet moments between Qin Xiao and Qi Lu my heart was soaring, but the realities of the worlds they both live and the people they have to deal makes my heart hurt for them. The amount of emotion in that hug 🥺 it was so beautiful and so painful at the same time! I love that they have each other right now to help ease the pain of the issues they're facing around them.
However, I am now very terrified of how this is going to end.. I was really confident that we were going to get a happy ending because of the way the series began, but now that we circled back to that moment and we still have four episodes left... I can't help but be a little scared that this won't end happy. Since this got past censorship, I'm a little less terrified, but the fear is still there.. I'm really really hoping that this doesn't have a sad ending though. This has been such a beautiful series I don't want it to be ruined with a tragic ending.. With everything these two have gone through they deserve to have their happy ending!
Once again, my heart is hurting for Tan Yin, but also for Liu as well. I can't imagine the amount of pain his mother went through after losing a child, but that doesn't give her the right to treat her other child like shit! I can't believe that she has the audacity to wonder why he doesn't want to see her and then in the next breath yell at him and blame him for his brother's death. Literally telling him to go die.. Like are you fucking kidding me?! I know she's taking meds, going to therapy and it seems to be close to when he passed away so her emotions are heightened, but it's still a fucked up thing to say to someone!
The amount of pain and guilt that Liu must be going through 🥺 My heart hurts seeing him so broken! And now on top of that he's going to deny himself the one thing that's been making him happy, Tan Yin. I know he won't let them be together romantically, which I can kind of understand where he's coming from, but even just being around Tan Yin clearly brought him happiness and now he's taking that away from himself too.. If Liu's not ready or will never be ready to date him though, I do think they need some time apart. They need time to get past the feelings they have for each other if they want to stay friends, though I'm not sure they'd ever be able to come back from that.. I'm just wondering if Tan Yin will actually listen to him.
Sometimes I wish I had waited to binge this because waiting week to week is killing me 😩

Shoma's acting is still stiff at times and while I wish it was a little better it doesn't bother me too much because to me he's still doing a good job of portraying Arashi's personality. This episode did feel a little more rushed and slightly more awkward than the previous episodes, but I feel like so far they're doing a good job of telling the important parts of the story. I am getting a little bit worried about their storyline though.. We only have two episodes left of theirs I assume and I feel like we have a lot to fit in that.. I guess we'll see how they handle it 🤷‍♀️ I really hope it's handled well though because I've been loving the series so far.
Regardless of the slight rushedness and awkwardness, this was still a great episode! I can't get over how easily Rei folds whenever Arashi starts to come on to him. Literally all Arashi did was lean over him and get a little bit closer to his face and Rei immediately closed his eyes, waiting 😆 To be fair though, if I had a guy like Shoma doing that to me I would fold that quickly too 😅 Not him having a sexy dream about Arashi though 😆
