I couldn't get through the Thai version, I dropped after a few episodes I was unbearable. But seeing in the comments people are enjoying this version, I'll give this a shot.
Ouch, what a bummer. This is my least favorite J-BL in years. Not sure if it's the actor or not but I didn't like 'Ichiro as a character at all. On top of that, I didn't feel any chemistry between these two so there wasn't much else to hang on to.
I can't believe they ruined the show with the last 7 episodes. The chemistry is no longer there. Their relationship is Dead. I wish the series ended with both jumping off the cliff instead of separating. The 5 years jump is nonsense!
I know this is fantasy and all but what a dark series despite the 'comedic' tone. I wouldn't say host are scum of the earth because they are just people who usually come from poverty and most likely abusive, chaotic upbringings. Taking advantage of the lonely people with self esteem issues that come to the club is how they survive. But the clients also take advantage of them, some of them are straight predatory, so it's a horrible cycle. However, romanticizing relationships between host and clients is not one of my preferred tropes. The dynamic between them is unhealthy and parasitic from both sides.
Also the FL needs serious therapy first, stalking is never funny for the victim, she basically terrorized her ex. I usually like flawed characters but this is one major red flag flaw I can't overlook because she doesn't seem to realize what she did was wrong, I hope she changes by the end of the series. At the same time, it's also horrible the abuse she gets from the people around her.
Also how are teachers responsible more than parents? Why would she need to get involved to protect the student from the host club before her parents? I just find it absurd and since I've seen it in so many J-dramas I wonder if this happens in real life, there's no smoke with no fire, no? Everything in this dramas is just unhinged.
Having said that, I'm still gonna watch it past this first episode because despite the crazy plot.
Btw, I love that your thumbnail is our precious Liu Yuning. I watched Prisoner of Beauty not that long ago and was obsessed with it.
