These 'short shorts', as one reviewer called it - a vertically filmed story of many minuscule length episodes compiled into a single video - are becoming tiresome. I suppose it's done to save money but their choppy nature interrupts the flow and make them harder to watch and understand what's going on. This one was no exception. The story, the acting and the cute actors were all fine, but with a little more effort, a better budget and slightly longer script it could have been much better.
Both boys are cute. One is more attracted to the other boy, and there's an underlying sexual tension that is never realised. The cinematography is beautiful.
I was so wrong about Jaemin (deliberate false flags on the part of the director, especially in Ep. 7). He's more of a deranged psychopath than Su Hyeon who, after all the drama in the cabin, has a redemptive scene with Daon (though he still needs anger management treatment). As everyone hoped, Daon and Seong Hyeon finally achieve happiness together. It is one of the finest K-dramas ever made and those two are the cutest couple.
Daon was incredibly naive and stupid to go to the carpark alone from where he was kidnapped. Before then, we heard Su Hyeon ring someone and say the plan was on, then a bit later we saw him sitting in his car in the carpark, after which Daon got the text from Jaemin to meet him there - but was it from Jaemin? Prior to that, he'd told Su Hyeon he would no longer be involved with Daon and later we saw him with his bags packed and walking out of his apartment to go wherever. I don't know how, but I think Su Hyeon used Jaemin's phone to text him, had his thugs kidnap Daon and take him to the cabin where he is muffled with tape and tied up with rope in a chair. Even if in the manhwa Jaemin did kidnap Daon, it doesn't necessarily mean he does it in the live adaption. It makes much more sense for Su Hyeon to be behind it as he's obsessed with Daon, won't take no for an answer and as an out-of-control psychopath with money and power, he's more than capable.
The available six episodes are slightly abbreviated on YouTube; you need a membership to watch the uncut versions. Even so, I don't think we're missing much and the missing bracelet was not addressed. The series was slight at best.
I think it was only by Ep. 3 that Fou4Mod and Chian really began to show interest in each other, but then, Chian was involved with Bua doing stuff together. Baabin was on the periphery, quietly going through unrequited love for Fou4Mod but on the surface being his best friend. Then it got messy. Chian couldn't commit to Fou4Mod and they broke up; Babbin ended up briefly with Bua, Chian having cut him off, and Fou4Mod had a passing dalliance with a horrible girl, Faifa, who broke up with him nastily. So we come to Ep. 6 where by the end, both Baabin and Chian confess they like Fou4Mod, leaving Bua literally pissing in his pants. Ugh! One episode left to sort it out, the big question being, who Fou4Mod will choose. I can't decide who I prefer, but it's more likely to be Chian.
This had me glued to the screen very quickly and kept me transfixed. This has to be the best I've seen as BL vampire series go. The pairing of Joss and Gawin is screen magic, particularly Joss, whose body and good looks are eye-poppingly good and was last seen in a BL series back in 2019 in 3 Will Be Free; he picks his roles very well. Gawin, who is younger and slighter in build, is a good foil to Joss, and it's always nice to see Neo in a series. GMMTV is on to a winner here.
The entire 5th episode concentrated on secondary characters and their back stories. It didn't move the main plot along one centimetre. It was tedious more than anything else. No wonder so many viewers are disenchanted with this series.
The thing with this series is you've got to give it time for the story to develop. Too often people write off a series prematurely because they don't like the first few episodes. Sometimes it's justified, but it isn't here. In Ep. 4, Arm is warming towards Ryu who is actually a nice guy. Their provincial trip is becoming a big deal and all sorts of developments are in the works. I'm staying with this to the end because it has a lot going for it.
damn.the rating....like wtf happened?i wanted to watch, but no way this many ppl are wrong
The rating of 6.1 is ridiculously low and bears no resemblance to the quality of this show which I have given a standard 8.0, nor do I have a problem with the pairing of Arm and Ryu.
It's different, an original concept but quite silly. Chondon, the cafe owner, is good looking in a boy-next-door sort of way; the alien, Shun, is cute. I loved his Mary Poppins entrance at the very beginning. When Chon said Shun could move in with him as he's homeless and moneyless, I thought he'd get him to be a waiter as he certainly needs one and proved himself when helping the very slow talking and moving customer, but apparently not. He'd probably be paid more than handing out flyers for that irritating girl or at least get free food and lodging for that work. Anyway, it's moving along nicely and though there could be a few minor improvements, it is definitely engaging.
By the end, bar the tiny scene after the flying leaf, all the stuff about parallel worlds seemed to me nothing more than a distraction from the main story of Phu and Cir. These two carried the weight of the drama and did an outstanding job at it. They deserved their happy ending.
I didn't expect Ep. 5 to concentrate on Bua, but as it did, it revealed he has two mums who bicker about who should take care of him and one of them sells pot for a living. He feels abandoned and lost without Chian but in the end, after Chian's speech, he realises their friendship is at an end. Bua finds consolation in the arms of Baabin, who at this stage is over his infatuation with Fou. That leaves Chian and Fou whose status with Chian is a non-status - they kiss passionately but are not boyfriends. Blame Chian for that. After Fou being a third wheel with Chian and Bua is over, it all becomes too much for him and he begins crying, then after Chian splits with Bua for good and texts Fou to ask if he wants to do his nails with him, replies his nails are too thin and he needs a break but also leaves a voice message saying he'll be doing them in future with his partner. Who on earth could that be? The response leaves Chian in tears too. I just hope in the final episode Chian comes to his senses and asks Fou to be his boyfriend before he loses him altogether.
Wym fou was on the phone at the end saying he has a partner to do nails with to chian?
My understanding is that Fou said his nails are too thin so he wants to take a break. Then Chian listens to a voice message... it must be from Fou... who says he's going to do them in future with his partner, but my big question is: who is his partner if it isn't Chian?
