I feel sad for the 2nd male lead and was teary to what he said and what happened to him at the end.. so sad..
I was giving silent instructions to any supernatural taxi driver that might be working not to pick up this one. 2nd ML was lying. Abusers are always sorry (for themselves only) when they experience unpleasant consequences, but he's already shown his remorse disappears as soon as he thinks he's gotten away with it.
I like everyone in this tremendously talented cast, but in anything else they've done other than this. I'm guessing they maybe wanted a change of pace and accidentally okayed a script with mentally, socially, emotionally challenged FL and ML who never managed any semblance of a character development arc. Oddly, the side characters were all better written than the leads. BYT has its funny moments, but they were wedged between nonsense and ho-hum. I rated it 5 because I was feeling generous.
The most frustrating character in the entire series after 10th episode is the heroine 🙄🙄🙄 I am not sure…
The FL character is an illogically immature, inexplicably socially inept, and naive 35 year old woman child. I suppose the creators thought dumb was the only way a woman could be funny. I look at Han Ji Min playing this character and can't help but contrast it with Miss Baek and The Light in Your Eyes. If she was going for a change of pace, this was definitely a 180.
Maybe because she did role of poor female lead in half of her dramas lol.
Well, that's even more baffling. Nam Ha Neul is the same character as Kang Bit Na? Kang Seo Hae is the same as Jung Hui Ju? Yoo Hye Jeong is the same character as Choi In Ha? 😄😄 Nah, that's crazy talk!
It's still doing good, but the pacing was weird. Firstly, over Aiwarin's DEAD body would she ever drug Maewika…
💯 percent. Ai has crushed on May for years, but her first opportunity to rock that hot bod she decides to knock her out instead? No.
Ai went to the trouble to plan how to roofie May, but was too witless to plan how to get the phone pw? Another no.
It makes Ai's subsequent appeal for a relationship with May cringy and creepy. I can't for the life of me understand how anyone on the production team thought anything in this scene was a good idea.
I really adore LMSY, but having read the novel before starting this show makes me dislike this show so much. We…
Aside from the appalling toxicity of normalizing casually druggng your date, it was completely unnecessary and a thematic let down. There was no purpose and no gain. Ai planned how to incapacitate May, but didn't plan how to get her phone pw? It was also flawed execution: Ai drank more than May, yet May was the one who passed out. Amateur hour in the script room.
Holy forking shirtballs, this is the weirdest and most combative comment section I've ever seen for a drama. At the risk of setting myself up as a target - because it seems like everyone is either shooting or getting shot, I like this show. I like the falling in love with the bodyguard trope and second chance love is one of my favorite tropes, so I'm all good on the themes. The pacing works for me and I'm glad the FLs are opening up about how they feel for each other (E5). I'm looking forward to what comes next. I don't require perfection, just GL themed entertainment, and I'm entertained.
I like LingOrm as an acting pair and since acting is the job description for an actor, I'll assume they are pretending to be in love in the show and it's none of my business whether they are or not, or what their sexual orientation is, so I'm not offended if they date the entire population of Southeast Asia, serially or collectively, in their off time.
I do not understand the circle jerk, bordering on warfare, over who is the "best couple", or what is the "best show", or the personal attacks on those whose opinions differ. My bottom line is I am really truly deeply grateful these shows exist. I wish they'd been around when I was growing up, because knowing other girls felt the same way would have been a massive comfort in a desperately lonely time. It is not hyperbole to acknowledge that sometimes people die when they believe they are profoundly different and somehow flawed, and alone and afraid they always will be, so content like this can literally save lives. So maybe tread a little more lightly on the scorched earth criticisms.
I'm glad to see Tawan back in uniform... I won't hide the fact that I think the writing is absolutely atrocious,…
Had a similar thought. I'm overdosed on school based GL, but then I realized that maybe adolescents are the ones who most need to see that there are girls like them, that they are not alone in feeling the way they do. I realized who I was attracted to very early in life but grew up in a small village and thought I was the only one who felt that way. Knowing I wasn't would have saved me a lot of angst.
Are you one of those people that can't separate real life from entertainment?
You are spamming the same comment multiple times. It's beginning to sound personal. Did he steal your girlfriend, best you for a job, graduate from a better university, or become more successful in his career? Seriously, what is your dog in this fight?
If there was a way to rate this higher than 10, I would do it. The script is amazing. There were no weak characters, no contrived plot points, no unrealistic dialogue. Every actor involved deserves an award because it must have been gut wrenching to bare themselves unflinchingly scene after heartbreaking scene to play characters with such range and complexity. Every single actor owned their character and more than did it justice. The child actors especially deserve recognition: to be that young and represent such depth of emotion and truth in their characters is truly impressive.
So much of this series was personal to me. I, too, adopted an abused child though unconventional and, initially, illegal means. Like the script here, I was eventually able to make it legal. The fear, physical danger, emotional chaos, financial devastation, and career compromise were all perfectly depicted in "Mother." Everyone involved told this story brilliantly.
It seems like with each GL series there is at least one script element that gives me a genuine WTAF moment. HS got to this one fairly early in E3. So, just a thought here, but can we NOT normalize drugging your date? Because that's point of no return creepy, not to mention actual assault. Also, completely out of left field based on the drugger's long time crush on the druggee (not a real word probably, but you follow, right?). Also, bizarre and unnecessary. Also, WTH - a woman creator and a woman scriptwriter blithely doing this for no good plot reason makes me want to throw something at my screen, but I won't because I paid good money for it. Still...

"Bitch, you roofied me!"
