I liked it. Binge watched in two days. It was (relatively) short and sweet.
Very nice that this wasn't dragged out to 10 or 12 episodes, it wasn't necessary. Other series should take note.
Not a huge fan of cooking BL series, although I've watched my share of them. I liked this better than Cooking Crush and Baker Boys. And -- regardless of what anyone thinks of his one-note acting -- Ohm is one of the most beautiful men on the planet.
I don't know. I just like it. I watched one episode of the Korean version (after starting this one) and it didn't…
I think Win IS playing a supporting role. Sure, he's the romantic male role , but the main character is really Liu. I don't see Liu and Guy as equal roles. (And I'm no Win uber.) I think this series is really all about Liu, with Faye as a close second. Guy is just the romantic interest.
Some ways I agree with you. I feel like I am wasting time watching this show thinking it would get better, but…
I agree with you! Except that Liu (her character) is not you or me, she's someone who has longed her whole life for any kind of acceptance. She thought she'd found it in Faye, but just got slammed in the face, after having gone through surgery just for the hope of being accepted and not hated. Liu is not coming from a "normal" sense of reality to begin with. I don't see her as being over confident... more like over hopeful, I guess. Thanks for your reply!

I'm going to stand up a bit for the Liu character. (I did not watch the complete Korean version.) From where I sit, Liu was bullied and persecuted her entire life so horribly for her looks, that she made the extreme decision to do something about it, via plastic surgery. That in itself is no easy decision, but she did it.
Now she finds that it has some benefit, in finding -- for the first time in her life -- what she thought was a good friend in Faye, only to find out that Faye hates her because of it. Can you imagine changing your entire face, hoping to be more attractive and appealing to the world, and finally finding a new friend... only to find out that she hates you? It doesn't surprise me that Liu would continue to beg Faye to remain friends.
I want someone who is enjoying this disaster to explain to me what charm they see in it? I don't want to make…
I don't know. I just like it. I watched one episode of the Korean version (after starting this one) and it didn't captivate me.
What can I say, I'm a sucker for bullied characters. I like Win in this a LOT better here than 2gether, which, to me (and as a gay guy), was a ridiculous abomination. He doesn't cut it as a believable gay male lead.
So... now we're finding out that Faye lives in a poor neighborhood and suffers from bulimia. Here's my guess as to how this plays out (and no, I have not watched the Korean version or read any story, if there is one):
Faye gets busted for being the jealous and conniving bitch she is, but all is forgiven when her bulimia is discovered and she brings out the sob story of her struggles as a poor person. She and Saint end up together. Liu and Guy live happily ever after. Any other ideas?

I do like the series.
