Guys, you are forgetting that this is an adaptation of a Shui Qian Cheng novel. The 188 Series leads are not family-friendly characters. The characters are grey and morally questionable. The novels and this series have trigger warnings for rape, non-con, dub-con, homophobia, and more. Sorry to tell you this, but maybe this isn't the kind of series you expected or wanted, and you prefer fluffy ones (I also watch those and I love light BLs). I completely understand, but being angry because of toxic scenes... Don't complain about the plot and the story, because so far it's following the novel, and the novel has even more toxicity. If you are not able to handle it, you can drop the series.
i am loving this show so far & i really like the actors..... but why is drunk-non consent scenes always part…
Shui Qian Cheng's novels (which this is an adaptation of) are full of non-con, dub-con, rape, and more. The 188 Series leads are not family-friendly characters.
Bank is spot-on in the role of Jian Suiying, but Copter doesn’t convince me at all as Li Yu; it’s very clear who has experience working in lakorns. I don’t understand why Talai likes these experiments—mixing established lakorn actors with newcomers. By the way, could someone please get rid of the music today? In Pite’s scene, it felt completely out of place.
i don't know why but I feel this also because the way he is devoted is sus🐍🐍
Yes, Yok. The first time, which was the first sexual encounter between Yok and Ing, he rapes him out of rage. And the second time is during his pursuit to claim Ing back; he rapes him again because he claims that he is the only man for Ing. So, you could call it possessiveness.
I've been seeing this "the ending bla bla" on pretty much every series page I've watched recently. Is…
Isn't the purpose of a mystery novel, series, or any mystery story to solve all the questions? Why do I, the viewer, have to decide things that aren't even explained/showed in the series? It is clear here that they focused on the romance and even left things without an answer.
Tongtong and Toey, my dears—does your backs ache from carrying the weight of the acting? You can really tell the difference between those who have been in the industry for years and those just starting out. From episode 7 onwards, the series and the story have been in a nosedive. I suppose having a thousand screenwriters doesn't help create anything coherent; there are short series with interesting plots that raise questions and answer them as the story progresses, but unfortunately, that isn't the case here. It’s frustrating because it started off well and interestingly, only to shift focus to the protagonists' romance while sidelining the mysteries. They leave so many questions unanswered—for instance, the meaning behind the colors James sees (specifically, what each color signifies). There are too many couples, and they aren't given equal screen time, making the pacing feel uneven. Anyway, Thailand always delivers great beginnings, only to—in the case of most BLs—fail to figure out how to resolve them.
If we indeed get them as an secondary ship it will be a heavy departure from the actual novel itself. Jian suilin…
I read the novel, and there is a moment when Jian Suilin tries to kill Li Yu because he thinks that Jian Suiying and Li Yu have reconciled. This is not actually the case at that point in the story. He tries to run over Li Yu with a car, but Jian Suiying hears the engine and pushes Li Yu out of the way. Seeing his brother in danger, Jian Suilin swerves at the last second and crashes into a tree to avoid hitting him
Pongo este comentario en español porque no creo que mucha gente lo vaya a leer, por cierto lo que voy a decir puede ser un spoiler de la pelicula de la Bola Negra (si no la has visto estas tardando) :)
Pobre Takeuchi, me quedo muerta cuando se ha descubierto que tenia el crush con el profesor. Una proposicion de matrimonio muy sosa si puedo comentar. Cuando Iwasaki le consuela diciendo que si quiere un abrazo al Takeuchi y él dice que tal vez se puede enamorar de él, y Iwasaki dice que vale, que esta mono sin gafas, yo solo podia pensar en la frase de Enrique a Carlos en la bola negra : Si te quieres enamorar de un cocodrilo, te enamoras; y si te quieres enamorar de mí, yo me dejo. No voy a superar nunca la bola negra.
I like today's episode but It would have been interesting if they had been kidnapped; that way, both families would have had to work together to bring both back.
It absolutely blows my mind that Chita, just to turn Dr. Ji into a Nour, had to resort to corpse desecration and necrophilia. I still can’t get over it.
What I love most about this show—and where the writers have truly focused their attention—is Yukimura’s 25-year pursuit of Mariko. Can a romantic relationship really begin based on stalking? Is it true love, or is it an obsession? I like how they developed all the characters, especially Yukimura, who is well aware of his actions and ultimately takes responsibility for them. As for how they weave and build the case, I feel that sometimes they overcomplicate things so much that they don't know how to fit the pieces together, resulting in some weird connections—both with the murders and the kidnapping. For instance, they could have delved deeper into the kidnappings of the other girls, especially with characters like Tomoya around. The acting is great. The actor playing Yukimura is particularly good, though a few others leave a bit to be desired. I absolutely loved Tomoya’s character; I mean, the actor did such an amazing job that I really grew fond of him. The soundtrack is a total delight, from the vocal tracks to the music played during tense moments, which totally reminded me of the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney game (what a masterpiece of a game). It is definitely a show you can rewatch just to analyze the performances, knowing who is who.
Does anyone know if there is going to be a Thai dub? I really like Shogun's voice and I miss it. I would prefer to watch the Thai version rather than the Chinese version.
I was even more annoyed at the gas station scene. Searching for a kidnapped man you both know, but let's discuss…
I saw so many stupid or incoherent things about the investigation that I decided to ignore them. The main strength of this series is not the coherence of the investigation. I like it a lot, yes, but after watching so many other police series (BL/GL and others), I have to ignore those parts in order to keep liking it.
This episode was so misplaced, half the episode was spent on feelings and then all of a sudden we find out who…
I also felt the pacing was off. We are at episode 7, and if you want to create a consistent storyline, you have to start developing the plot. I get that Boss and Tongtong have great chemistry as a couple and should have cute moments, but you are missing the point if you don't explain or elaborate on what's going on with the case. This episode didn't convince me at all.

I agree. I also felt that way before knowing who Chita really is, they didn't care that Dr. Ji was kidnapped. I don't know if it's because I've seen other police series, but the first 24 hours are vital in a kidnapping
I couldn't take the last scene seriously. The deep conversation between James and Ken felt off because, in one shot, you could see Prae's burned body. I don't know why, but talking about their relationship right next to a burned body felt disrespectful to me.
