There're reviews here that say they didn't understand how both the stories are connected. There're no connection…
The idea that a "morally gray" character should be considered an insult rather than a sign of nuanced storytelling is the kind of brainrot we should all probably just ignore.
This website is a joke sometimes. This is so gritty, sensual, and well-shot and acted. Anyone who gives some cookie-cutter Thai BL a 10 and this anything less should be shot.
I started this, quickly thought, "This is kind of bad," but by the second episode I've come to sort of enjoy it and sort of forget that it's kind of mid. It'll do for now, I guess.
I saw the puritanical comments and knew this was probably going to be okay. So far, I like it. It's original, mildly kinky, well-shot, well-acted, and the leads are adorable with good chemistry. Alas, I can't help those who hate-watch a master-slave relationship and complain it's too problematic or whatever. It's fiction, and, thankfully, not all fiction needs to comport with your (apparently very conservative and boring) sexual and romantic ideals. Real queer people are often complex, kinky, and contradictory (not that this is realism). Very... moist vibes, this one.
Why does realism always have to be boring and depressing? You know, many GOOD things have happened in my life,…
I didn't find this boring or depressing. I found it engrossing and moving, and there were so many moments of levity alongside the longing. It felt like a very personal story, and one that loves life and its characters. It just doesn't lie either.
I just started this, thought it was great, came here, saw the low rating, and thought, "Yeah, it probably is." Sometimes, I wonder why I'm on this site when the top ratings go to the most mindless, soulless stuff. What do we have in common? If you liked this, thank you for keeping me sane in this loony bin.
The happiness character in the show ends up being the saddest by the end. Poor Makki he didn't deserve that.
He is the one ultimately who will be the best off, though. He chose honesty with himself, rekindled his friendship, and started moving on in love. THAT is real happiness.
My heart! My heart! Ahhhhhhhhhh. (It's amazing, though.)
Great! It would be insane to want the original couple to get back together. Only people who don't get life or love think that way. I loved the end. Hopeful yet realistic, which goes a lot further than magical thinking for me. So glad you enjoyed!
Do you like emotionally unstable and uncommunicative men? Do you like bottom-boy twinks who sleep in a full face of makeup? Do you like, uh, a ghost, maybe? Do you like blue-haired boys who are way more personable and pleasant than the actual soon-to-be boyfriend? Do you like predictable storylines and borderline bad acting? Are you maybe afraid of life and love and reality and watch the same formulaic junk-food BL over and over again? Then you'll love this. (It's okay.)
Also, the music is so well done. Can tell the filmmaker loves making music.
