The uncut version just appeared on kissasian.pe but having watched the entire cut version (which I didn't know was cut), I don't think I have the time or patience to endure watching a longer version of the series as I'm over it and don't need to go through it all again. It's just a shame the uncut version wasn't made available first. Also, the reviews and comments would probably have been more favourable.
I want Tseng Jing Hua and Pen Ciang You to star in another drama together where they end up with each other. Their…
I agree they had a certain chemistry, going from enemies to friends though this coming from Taiwan and not China, it could have become a BL drama but it didn't. Should there be a second season, which I doubt, it should certainly go in that direction and would attract a bigger audience. Pu Yiyong, handsome as he is, didn't appear to have a romantic bone in his body though he loved his family members and cared for Cao Guangyan and Officer Chen who in return cared deeply about him. Cao Guangyan, who is more on the cute side, also didn't appear to have a romantic bone in his body either as he was more concerned with being a doctor and helping Pu Yiyong and Officer Chen solve the murder cases. The three of them became an effective team. It was an interesting and imaginative series that relied on effects to make it work properly and it was only at the end that it all came together rather nicely.
The endless violence is bad enough but if Day loses his memory again after being bashed by that deranged little twerp P and doesn't recognise Itt again, I'm going to downgrade my score from 7.5 to 7.0. That would be just laziness on the part of the writers. I'm glad the next episode is the last one as this is one of my least favourite series from Thailand in quite a while.
From what I can make of it so far, Tai realises Dr Patts is his soulmate and appears to be attracted to him (in his dream they kiss passionately) but is playing hard to get, while the good doctor is definitely attracted to Tai and outside the cat clinic is definitely flirting with him. However, I don't know where Tai got the idea that Patts is a playboy and is seeing someone else but having made those accusations while he was drunk, instead of seeing Patts defend himself, it jumps to the next scene, it is now morning and Tai wakes up in a strange bed then realises he's in Patt's condo - end of episode. Before Tai makes his dream a reality, I think it's going to take a while to get there so we're going to have to endure Tai being standoffish for some time longer. As for his brother Tian and his documentary partner Lomfon who don't really like each other, it's hard to see them becoming the secondary couple, but you never know.
This is an adorable and utterly charming series and I love the growing friendship between Souta and Mahiro. At this point, eating naked is becoming incidental to the plot as we're about to see Mahiro gently kiss Souta while he's asleep, not knowing that Mahiro also gives him heart palpitations when they're in close contact with each other. A love of food and cooking does bring people together.
I don't recommend watching the version on KissAsian because the subs are so atrocious you spend the whole time reconfiguring them into comprehensible English; watch the YouTube version instead where they are much better.
I've just watched the first three episodes and I'm finding this charming series quite delightful. It's another slow-burning romance, just like The Eighth Sense (only in that the ML were separately very handsome and cute) but with, of course, a completely different setup. I'm looking forward to seeing how the relationship will develop.
Food is the driving factor and I have to say the recipes look fairly easy to make and are most appealing. I vaguely remember seeing a series in which food played a major part and the recipes were I think shown at the end of the show; pity it's not done here.
Am so happy the last two episodes were released at the same time and having begun watching this series only 3 days ago, I was impatient to see them. From the start, I was hooked by the story and how the two leads came to fall for each other in a big way, but also these characters had depth and seeing them evolve within themselves while learning to understand each other (with some help from friends on the one hand and a therapist on the other) to become true loving boyfriends was most satisfying. I think this sets a new high for KBL and though they are far less prolific than TBL, the quality of the writing and the acting leaves many of them in the shade. The finale brought it all together superbly without being at all fluffy as so many Thai finales are, ending on a particularly high note, not only for Ji Hyun and Jae Won but for the secondary characters as well.
Side note. This was the fifth series for Lim Ji Sub who played Jae Won and his first gay role. Such a handsome young man, a veritable dream boat. He assumed the role as if born to it. Heaven knows if he's gay or not in real life but his pairing with Oh Jun Taek who played Ji Hyun in his first dramatic role was inspired. Their kisses were real with much feeling. I loved how he transformed from a country mouse into a sassy young man. Likewise, it was fascinating to observe the insular and somewhat tortured Jae Won who despite himself couldn't help but fall in love with the cute Ji Hyun who in turn managed to draw Jae Won out of his depression and self-absorption to one who could love and enjoy life again, which makes this show so uplifting and caused me to upgrade my score to 9/10.
Ep. 9 was an improvement on the previous episode but it's not saying much. At least Park and Tin kissed but at this point in the series Tin should really act a bit more mature. In the finale, I hope to see Kana and Pao kiss.
The relationship between Itt and Day is not normal or healthy. Despite Day being a jerk most of the time, Itt is apparently still in love with him and cares about him as much as he always did, though why is a good question. As Itt's boyfriend, Day is incredibly possessive and insanely jealous of anyone taking the slightest interest in him and afraid if he becomes friendly with someone else he'll be dumped. They are forever alternating between making up and bickering. It's all becoming a bit tedious and the story, such as it is, hardly moves forward or goes anywhere. Thank goodness it's coming to an end soon.
What can I say about the finale of this series except to quote Miss Prism on the meaning of fiction: "The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily." Most of the bad guys ended up dead and Ms Ae was imprisoned while Ken and Din/Peter apparently ended up together in Thailand again at Sai's wedding on the 7th day of the 7th month, a date significant to them too, at which point, all they did was look at each other.
After Ken and Din/Peter made love to each other, the latter left in the morning to take care of all the baddies and despite hales of gunfire from multiple men and a few with knives, he miraculously overcame them and left them all dead. Either they were all terrible shots or he's made of Teflon. It's a shame that there wasn't a proper scene with him and Ken where they discussed the past, kissed and looked forward to the future together, but the story came to a close in its own way which I can live with and feel that it wasn't entirely a waste of time watching this despite its flaws, as the locations, cinematography, acting and the dramatic score compensated for that, so it earns from me a standard 8/10.
This is now available on GCINEE - choose Server O because it's HD.
Made in 2016 before the crackdown on gay content, this film tells the story of one boy, Xioan, who is torn between his love for two other boys. It all takes place in a dormitory and its surroundings. The ending is sudden but indecisive because it continues with snippets during the end titles. It has poor sound, the subtitles are not good, and they flash by too quickly.
