As a BL fan, will I enjoy it? I already know it's a great drama from all the positive review and comments, but…
I'm not sure how satisfying as a BL it will be for you because i think it'll still depend on your personal preference, for me it was (it might not be perfect but it was satisfying for me), but the ending is 100% BL happy ending. They ended up together in their own bodies (Korn and Win, so no confusion there) and had a lot of cute moments at the last episode š
Just finished the series and⦠Iām quite curious as to why the title is āCupidās Last Wishā as thereās…
From what i understood Win's dad was the Cupid and it was his will/wish that helped Korn and Win finally get together, he was the one behind the body swap and he knew how Korn and Win felt for each other. I'm sure someone else can explain it much better than me but i hoped that helped a bit š
I think they just need to hire better writers and directors. Their past few BLs beside Bad Buddy and Not Me has…
Agree, and although Mix was great for his first role i do believe that its a result of being a natural good actor and having both a seasoned partner and a great director that guided him well. So having none of that in these recent shows is what i believe made them bland and forgettable.

I agree that they should hire better writers and directors but also good or experienced actors as leads. I think the difference between Bad Buddy and Not Me from other shows is that their leads are all established experienced actors that can turn even a simple story good. ATOTS is another show that had good actors even though Mix was a rookie (which is rare).
But casting rookies as leads and then not even having a decent plot is really not working out anymore. Itās pretty obvious that some of their recent shows are just to jump start their new ships/couple like JoongDunk and ForceBook to check how well theyāll be received but they keep forgetting that viewers also expect a good storyline to go with these couples.
Congratsss ATOTS for bagging the "Best Drama of the Year" award ā¤ļøšhttps://twitter.com/tusen_stjerner/status/1526937554737852417?t=lAhap8BM4bu8hOtQe_GMmQ&s=19
And the fact that they were the only LGBTQIA+ show nominated on that category but still won against all the non-BL show is really something to be proud of, so congrats to the cast and crew! They deserve it ā¤ļøš
the thing is tho...that even tho the boy is in his sister's body, they don't show the sister half the time, they…
Youāre welcome. And although i usually do recommend people to try a show first but you also shouldnāt force yourself to watch something you donāt like āŗļø
I also would like to say that there was also a reason why it was a sister and not a brother in the story that Win switched with, which was again the mom storyline but youād have to watch it to understand š
the thing is tho...that even tho the boy is in his sister's body, they don't show the sister half the time, they…
Just want to make it clear too that Win is trapped inside Lins body but Korn and us viewers see Win most of the time. And yes they do kiss in a spur of the moment but it was part of the plot and has a purpose, they do acknowledge it and its consequence (since heās still in Lins body). They didnāt start any relationship while the siblings was still swapped š
Also Korn was already inlove with Win even before the swap, the swap was mostly for Win to realize and face his feelings for Korn. So there wasnāt any confusion on Korns part on who he likes which was Win thats why we say its still BL. By the end the siblings went back to their original bodies and Korn and Win finally got together as themselves. š
I do understand that the plot do sound weird/ straightwashed on the surface but its actually a bit more complicated if you watch it, although i do understand too why some people might find it weird and might not want to watch it so iām not trying to force you to watch it š This is definitely not everyones cup of tea and its a matter of personal preference at the end of the day š
haven't started it yet but ewww now it feels like korn fell in love with a woman and then he'd accept her even…
Not really, Korn knew Win was in Lins body from the very start so he and us viewers mostly āseeā Win interacting with Korn for most of the show and *spoiler* Korn was already in love with Win even before the swap so there wasnāt any confusion on his part on who heās in love with. The swap (on my opinion) was actually for Win to realize and face his feelings for Korn and regret how bad he treated him š
Also what episode is when Win and Korn dances in a dream to Tilly song? I forgot.
End of episode 3, thatās actually one of the big changes they made from hotstar to youtube. They shortened the dream sequence from atleast 2mins dance to 20 seconds at most and edited the oversaturated color of the original and removed all those unnecessary effects.
There are a lot of difference between the hotstar and youtube version but if you didnāt really notice the difference in the dream sequence or youāre someone who doesnāt really notice the small things you might not really catch the changes. The colors are better (one of the main issue from the original, but again if youāre not very observant you might not notice it), transition were clearer and some scenes are cut short or extended. Music and BGM was also edited. I think for you to really see the difference you have to watch it side by side š
I don't think they make Win weak because he is in a woman's body. I think Lin was sheltered and not allowed to…
From what i understood too thats how the show was trying to portray Lin, as someone who was pampered, spoiled and sheltered her whole life, i donāt think she even work at all because theyāre rich š Regarding getting cold easily i think it was Win himself who gets easily cold as we saw from the flashback before, and he still gets easily cold even in Lins body.
They do show he works at the farm, not just paper work but physically taking care of the animals. But i do agree they should tone down saying girls are weak, cos its definitely untrue š
I think the leads would be better with other BL actors, I dont see the romantic chemistry between the two.
I think romantic chemistry and bromance are a very different thing. As you said, for you you only feel bromance with them and i think other viewers can also differentiate between romantic and bromance but since chemistry is subjective we all interpret it differently and most see it as romantic even though you might not see it.
I disagree about their intimacy or skinship feeling forced but ofcourse youāre entitled to your opinion. Their chemistry in ATOTS was one of the best for me even without any skinship throughout and their chemistry and acting here is honestly what saved this show for me š

I think chemistry of actors are also subjective, iāve rarely seen viewers say Earth and Mix donāt have romantic chemistry but there are some who canāt see it and its totally fine. I think they wouldnāt be as popular or well received as they are right now if they donāt have the romantic chemistry that majority of viewers sees. I, myself have watched other couples who i donāt think have that much romantic chemistry but majority sees it, so your opinion is understable.
Just also want to add that i think itās still early to tell the real computed rating here for now, if you check…
Yeah, although i do want to point out that ATOTS has an 8.6 rating so far and some other BL movies or specials has 8.6 or higher. I think only movies or specials can get 8.7 or higher because most of the time they donāt have a dropped category.
And yes, i also observed from shows such as ATOTS, Bad buddy and Not Me that no matter how highly praised the show is (i think all three even reached 8.9 during airing) it always goes down to 8.6 or lower once the show is over. Itās just the way MDL system works, once the ācompletedā and/or ādroppedā section are available it goes down. Just an observation.
Okay but lets make something clear, people aren't against " bad reviews " they have a problem with MDL - the site…
Just also want to add that i think itās still early to tell the real computed rating here for now, if you check the ranking itās still all over the place and still not final based on what iāve observed from other shows. An 8 rating will put the ranking at around 1,200 more or less but as you can see its still at 34,000+, so i think MDL still hasnāt rated/computed this one correctly and would be also be why the rating might still jump up or down depending on the few who rates it. I think the ranking would also be fixed when a certain percentage of viewers rates the show and since kinnporsche has alot of viewers and only a small percentage of those have rated must be why its still glitchy.
I do believe though that its nearly impossible to maintain the 9+ rating here because the more viewers and rating there is the more it balances out and goes down aside from the MDL cap against BL and how its nearly impossible to get an 8.6 or above. I think some fans was just used to the 10 and 9 rating but it was really bound to go down as more people watch it, some viewers donāt even give a 10 even if they loved a show or how great they think it is š although yeah, 8 is a bit low for this. But iām sure the more episodes are released and the more people rate this the rating would stabilized and most probably would increase. This went longer than i expected lol sorry for the long speech just wanted to share my thoughts on this š
Aside from some hand holding and hugging nothing sexual.there is a kiss scene very late in the series. It shows…
The kiss happened in the heat of the moment and they also acknowledged the consequence of it afterwards šand yes, thereās alot of kisses and sweet moments once theyāre back to their original bodies š
This was actually the third time he posted and everytime it gets meaner, first 2 comments no one gave him attention so it really seems like he keeps on reposting to get attention or approval. I agree, criticism of a show is fine but insulting and shaming an actor personally is not.
Guys, itās almost here and iām not sure if my heart is ready yet! š„¹
