although it is a bit rough around the edges, you can always tells when a production puts actual thought and care into the storytelling they do, and it was very evident in this series. all the actors but especially the main two put 150% into their performance, and i loved their dynamics.
imo the finale was quite predictable but i felt full by the end of the series, grandma stayed the mvp throughout. tan's character building in particular impressed me-- i went from hating his character viscerally to loving him a lot, which is not something i expected when i started watching this.
overall a well rounded show that understood good pacing and narrative building (even if technical execution wasnt always the best).
What are they making Film wear? Blouses? Please, save us from those seme/uke clichés....
and here i was, halfway through the series thinking that chan was the top 😂😂
real talk though, i agree that these cliches are overused in the industry but despite that, the only real indicator that he'd be cast as the bottom for me was thai bl's affinity for 'pretty' bottoms (seeing as tin's actor looks more stereotypically masculine). other than that, his personality was *nothing* like a stereotypical bottom's, his dominant and assertive mannerisms really had me thinking he was one of those overbearing tops until i came across your comment (though i was hoping for a switch dynamic in this show). his character is a rich and eccentric lawyer, and i think his wardrobe suits that archetype very well!
I have dropped after 2 episodes, it was very boring >.< Maybe it will become better or more exciting over the…
watched this through and through bc i am starved for gl content regardless of the quality, but when taking the work into unbiased consideration, this show is a mess. shots are weird at times and the plotline kind of loses itself a couple episodes in, and the girls have a lot of unnecessary ups and downs. if you are looking for a top notch quality show i'd agree, youd be wasting your time. the last episode has a cute wedding scene, tho!
really good show!!! i think the intimacy was done well and the overall pacing was good. the only qualm i have with this is the way jaewon's relationship with eunji and taehyung were handled... i know they are very close friends and that in real life, bad people get away with the things theyve done,,, but having the last episode be the two of them give up on their wrong ways, apologize, and get away with a slap on the wrist after being so awful for the ENTIRE show was enraging to watch. i know forgiveness is important and in-line with jaewon's character but jaewon didnt owe them a SINGLE thing after they way they treated him, least of all forgiveness. it wouldve been better to just cut them off entirely.
im quite excited for this-- im not familiar w sammon as a writer but the adaptations of her works that ive seen have been pretty solid (manner of death being one of my favorite shows ever). bible seems to match well w the darker themes she tends to use, and i really hope they cast a suitable costar for him!
I want to “skip” the abusive parts… What episode does Day start to fall for Itt again?
he is flip floppy back and forth for like the entire show,,, like one minute theyre happy and the next hes angry or jealous or some shit. if u really looking for it the good part would literally be the last 10mins of the show
please guys im begging you vote for the loml matthew if he doesnt make it into the final lineup all my 22hrs of viewing this show will be for nothing and i cant take that kind of devastation after losing haruto please--
i really enjoyed this, it was light and thrived in the simplicity. i cant wait for a season 2!! as a warning to manhwa readers though: this only takes slight elements of the 80 chapter manhwa and i feel like it deviates from the manhwa enough to be considered a completely different body of work. if you view this expecting a one-to-one comparison, you'll be sorely disappointed.
the one complaint i'd have is how toned down daun's personality was, it was hard to get a feel of his character. i really enjoyed his egotistical but sincere mannerisms in the manhwa, and i feel like that was a big part of his character (and useful to understanding his past traumas), so i wish they'd kept that in.
I haven’t watched peach of time how did they handle it
peach of time had a mixed language situation--- like sometimes the thai character would talk in broken korean to korean actors (his character was an exchange student i believe) and the main leads would talk to eachother in their own languages (the thai lead spoke thai and the korean lead spoke korean) but in context were still able to understand eachother
I feel like I'm the only one in the world that thinks this is overrated. I know I watched it but I don't even…
i'm kind of in the same boat-- i know i watched this when it came out but i dont remember much of it at all. definitely due to the brevity of the series but i remember that overall it was light and sweet. there were a couple factors playing into the popularity, though: 1) this is one of the first mainstream korean bls at the time, where the industry was mostly dominated by thai/japanese works (think of the GAP series situation where it is popular for being a sapphic series rather than actually being a good series) 2) pandemic made more people binge/gave a boost in bl popularity (it also helped that kdramas tend to have a higher global viewership) 3) the production was solid and the main leads were very handsome
its definitely a hate it or love it kind of deal, it started off rocky but surprisingly i enjoyed this a lot. i feel like it did meh in the relationship development category, since cheating, blackmail and revenge p*rn are NOT things that can be forgiven in 10 days time. i couldnt understand ritsu's character very well (i understand he doesnt have a good understanding of healthy relationships due to his family life, but in the first episodes we've seen that ritsu CAN and DID treat masumi right in the beginning. if you loved him, why did you have to hurt him to the extreme in the first place???) but i will say he was a bit redeemed for me at the end, if only for masumi's sake.
if youre looking for logical, healthy relationship with a thorough plot, this is not for you but i think its's good for a light watch that makes you feel a lot of emotions (primarily anger towards ritsu, lmao).

i do have a question tho: will jeff and barcode be speaking korean in this or is it gonna be a peach of time situation?
