In what manner did Loft betray Air? Air straight up told Pure to find someone else and Air is the one who introduced…
Clearly Pure *was* available as she availed herself enthusiastically of the opportunity Loft presented, her broken heart nicely healed by consistent application of loving attention and robust sex. Later, when presented with the opportunity to choose a free and unencumbered Air, Pure noped out again, confirming her demonstrably healed heart was still choosing Loft.
And good for her, Air is not to be trusted. Any woman who will ditch you once for convenience, will ditch you twice. "Mommy told me to" is not the get out of relationship free card you think it is.
Proof? When Air felt Pure slipping away, she trashed that filial piety bs in a hot minute, hitched up her ovaries, and got a divorce. So, obviously when the motivation is sufficient, Air *can* say no to mommy. Too bad she didn't think of that before Pure found a woman who would prioritize her.
Honestly, you sound like the shipper -- clearly you got it bad for Air and Pure. When you pretzel yourself to the point of claiming a grown woman in her mid 30s is a "child" incapable of making her own decisions, your credibility is already hitchhiking down the road.
I hope your IRL picker is better than your TV one.

Check your assumptions. A. I'm not a shipper. I'm a grown up, I know how acting works. B. We may have different moral compasses. I believe when one (Air) is engaged to one person (Pure), one should not abruptly dump her to marry another person (Lamp). When that occurs, THAT is the betrayal. It doesn't matter that Air didn't *want* to marry Lamp because she *did* marry Lamp, and she did it with forethought and deliberation.
Air is several years older than Pure, who was almost 27 when Air left her, so Air was an approximately 30 year old woman with her own agency and her own mind, responsible for her own actions. Unless Mommy held a gun to her head, Air mindfully CHOSE to trade her fiancee, Pure, for a wealthy man to ensure the financial comfort of herself and her mother.
Pure owed Air absolutely nothing.
Likewise, Loft owed Air nothing. There is no "dog in the manger" romance rule that specifies you can't date a person if someone married to another person is in love with them and wouldn't want you to, even - or especially - if the person is married to one's brother AND had kicked Pure to the curb three years ago AND told her not to wait.
It's truly weird to think Loft should steer clear of Pure, who was single and very much damn sure available, to clear the path so Air could continue to torture both Loft's brother and Pure with her unavailability and unwillingness to truly be with either.
The acting is ok. It a decent watch.Except for Air actress. She slayed every time the camera was on her..The pacing…
In what manner did Loft betray Air? Air straight up told Pure to find someone else and Air is the one who introduced the two of them AND orchestrated their first time alone.
While Loft knew Pure was hung up on Air, Air never told Loft about her own feelings. There was no reason Loft and Pure should not be dating - or whatever they were doing.
IMO Air betrayed Pure, both by being engaged to Pure but dumping her to marry Lamp and by continually teasing Pure just enough to keep her panting. Yes, it's really awkward, but the only reason it got that complicated is that Pure was initially unwilling to be openly with Loft because she still held out hope for Air - that's not on Loft.
Mae's attitude is actually really annoying to me. Ai caught her spying, and even though she was rightly pissed…
Wait, are we giving Ai a free pass for drugging Mae so she could try to break into her computer? And then sneaking a peek at Superior's financials while they were supposed to be focusing on sexy time at the resort?
Yes, the series was wonderful. Lookme and Sonya are so good together and the production (scenes, costumes, lighting) was gorgeous...
But forking Hades, what is it with Thai GL in general and Tisha in particular giving psychotic men free passes for heinous behavior!? 'Oh, poor me, I abused, berated, and threatened you for your own good because it''s hard being a single dad?' I hope the actor cringed as much delivering that shite stuffed soliloquy of half-assed excuses as I did hearing it.
Jebus, Tisha, this is TWICE now you've thrown your women characters under the bus - we haven't forgotten gun boy getting a hero's redemption in Affair. Is the network holding a gun to your head making you do this? Do you need help? Can you flash the rescue signal? Because if not, seriously, consider getting into therapy and figuring out why you would write a selfish, self-centered, manipulative, controlling, violent man a five minute makeover into a paragon of misunderstood virtue and then have his abuse target apologize to HIM!
Look, I'm sure you have rent to pay and groceries to buy, but surely there are production companies where you don't have to be a pick-me shill for a rabidly sexist patriarchal system. Maybe find one where you can keep your dignity and not actively undercut other women.
So, just a thought, but instead of kicking and banging on reinforced wooden doors, how about just crawling through one of those fragile paper windows? Just asking.
There is so, so much lazy writing: sprinkling in of unexplained miracles and spontaneous cures and a heavy reliance on otherwise functional characters being suddenly struck stupid. It honestly wouldn't have taken much to write around the gaps, but I guess the scriptwriter simply couldn't be arsed.
watched 2 eps (or I didn't) I just couldn't stop skipping which made me miss some important things, gotta drop…
I'm on E3 now and it's a LOT of work. Trying to stick it out for the pleasure of watching Park Eun Bin, but I don't know... directing is cheesy and script takes frequent detours into nonsense "Why the heck would he/she do *that*?" territory.
Haven't watched yet, I plan to, but the criticism of an actress not being suited? If they weren't a good actress,…
Yes, exactly this. I suspect a Venn diagram of people who judged her as mid because she was mostly in romance projects and people pissed she's proving them wrong in another genre is a perfect circle.
Props to PMY for looking at the sexist age double standard for women and broadening her range with the public. Wise move.
Park Min Young seems to have a good physique in this drama. I mean she reduced her weight for marry my husband…
PMY was ripped in Love in Contract (2022). There were several scenes showing her character's workout routine that made my muscles whimper just from watching.
Reed thin doesn't always mean unhealthy. My 110lb/40.9kg daughter has the same physique as PMY, can squat lift more than 2x her body weight, and eats like a (very health conscious) horse .
Worrying about her health is legitimate, given the unhealthy effects of body shaming aimed at women world wide, but different women, different metabolisms.
Mr Queen is a near flawless 18 episode series. Unfortunately, it has 20 episodes. It got to the end of E18 before deploying stupidity as a plot device. At that point, the story wandered around, characters forgot who they were, backstories were ignored, and a bold, badass F(?)L became a helpless, witless, whimpering dingbat for 45 maddening minutes on into E19, where the martial arts trained, former special services soldier did everything but wilt from the vapors. The implosion continued into E20, with scenes defying credulity, common sense, medical reality, and several laws of physics.
I mind that sort of thing, other may not. Anyhoo, it was a satisfying enough ending.
I do have one lingering disappointment: the series ended before the Queen could go through labor and delivery as a man - because payback, baby! On the plus side, there was a delightful gay coded main character who did the limbo under the censorship bar and nearly everyone's radar.
Well, that took some brass ovaries.

That aside, I would watch a second season.

Him: Your sister wants you to visit her.
Her: I don't plan on it.
Yes!
UPDATE: E4 was relentlessly stupid, so I'm done.
