I much rather watch TWM: the next chapter than this. At least there the characters were written as flawed youngsters trying to deal with adulthood. The storyline might have been painful but it reflected three real issues that are commonly found in real life: dissatisfaction with one's job, infidelity and intolerable parents.

Here, Type's issues at work was the only thing that made sense. Tharn's personality and strength was completely erased. They were so cheesy that I wanted to laugh at the screen 'cos there is no way two adults in their mid 20s would behave like that. Their lines and behavior seemed to have been written by teenager fan-girs. There was no consistent plot, not journey, no anything.

It was so boring that I had to drop after a few eps which sucks, because I love the actors and season 1 is in my Top 5 all time favorites.

I dropped this series in ep 4 or 5, I dont remember. I have re watched season 1 many times and even I read the book, even though the translation was rather poor, but this season was like a bad boy love parody with cartoonist characters written by teenager fan-girls.

However reading your reviews it seems that the drama improves from ep 11. As someone who loves season1 and it's critical of this season, would you recommend that I watch from ep 11?


Thank you!!!

When you say goodbye, do you think there is no chance they will star in another b-l drama together again? I know Tul wanted to do a Masters' in Columbia and his contract was coming to an end... but I had hopes that after a couple of years abroad once he's back in Thailand he might co-star another drama with Max.

Oh, I see. You are 100% right, then. BLY was also the silent type, bottling up his emotions, and driving GH crazy.

I just finished ep 14 and the drama is holding up. Some episodes are a bit slower but in such a long drama we can forgive that. The story-line is compelling and the character development is getting better and better.
I actually like the female ping pong player they might pair him with. She's a no-nonsense kind of girl and I think they balance each other out.
WaToL was bad. However I think this drama will become very popular in China, since it's a sports drama which attracts both a male and a female audience and it also has a nationalistic vibe to it which is compelling to the Chinese public in general

I adore him. Sadly I didn't like any of his dramas after Addicted, but this one I'm enjoying so much. Finally Timmy got a role worthy of him, with proper character development and a engaging story line.

It looks like there will be some potential romance between Yu Ke Nan and the female ping pong player. I like her, she has a good head over his shoulders. His ego is huge but somehow she brings him back to Earth. Plus, he clearly respects her, and that's saying something. I think they will make a very cute couple.
On the other hand I don't like the other female lead at all. I find her so boring, I usually fast-forward the scenes she is in.

Let's hope Vin Zhang finally gets the girl LOL

I'm about to follow your example...

Addicted, Together with me, Together with me II, TharnType and Manner of Death

Let's hope, then. As you say, 44 is a long run. There is time for proper development and for KN to mellow down a little. I love Timmy from Addictive, my first and most loved b-l ever. I haven't enjoyed any of his other dramas so I'm super glad to be liking this one :D

Do you think we might have some bromance later on between the two leads? I'm in ep. 5 and they seem to share a connection, since Yu Ke only seems to like XuTan out of everybody...

Quite similar, however Im finding the characters' arch even more compelling that HNG. It might be 'cos I'm a huge fan of Timmy and I adore his acting, though

Together with me, Manner of Death, Addicted, The untamed

I loved Tharn in season 1. I thought he was super matured for a boy his age. He was reasonable, patient, cordial and sometimes he could be a bit impulsive but he was brave enough to admit it when he made a mistake. He had issues, yes, but it did not stop him from pursuing what he wanted.
Tharn in season 2 is a completely different character. I was so disappointed. I was thinking, WTF, how old is this guy? Is he the Tharn from before?

thank you!!!!

naaah it was meant for the other guy

let people ask what they want, nobody forces you to answer WTF

PERFECT ENDING, SUPER HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY
