AHHHHHH so new writers were brought in..no wonder I am beginning to feel some difference post E20+ I think I don't mind adaptations being different as long as they capture the essence of the OG, and this one failed to do that unfortunately. Not like the OG was some masterpiece but still..
Episode 19 - the brother seems more humane in this version.. like he apologized and seems genuinely sorry? I guess it's more the actor I don't like than the character.
Also I don't know why.. I just don't feel the ML's love for the FL. It's weird because I felt it in the initial episodes but I just don't feel it lately..
If not for Sugisaki Hana and Wakaba Ryuya, I would not have finished this.The story leads you into little snippets…
I get the abuse she suffered and all the scars she had growing up, and also the fact that she did not have a birth registry but why did she leave him when she was happy with him? The story never even explained that or did I miss something? Was she afraid he would reject her if he found about her lack of identity? Or would her statelessness (lack of birth registry) affect her marriage with the ML? For a movie centering around identity, they did not explain what this statelessness entails, and what are the effects of it. Also, what happened to Ichiko at the end? Where was she? I feel like I wasted 2 hours of my life..
If not for Sugisaki Hana and Wakaba Ryuya, I would not have finished this. The story leads you into little snippets about the FL and her life from the various people she interacted with, but it doesn't quite help you piece together the person she is or her reason behind the decisions she made, leaving you more confused than ever. I did not get the message of the story either. Great acting from our leads and the cast as expected, but subpar screenplay and writing.
Some of my favourite sibling relationships from Asian dramas-
'Momo Love' from Taiwan https://kisskh.at/272-momo-love The whole drama centers around the relationship between the brothers and their sister, who they dote on and protect. They can be overprotective and overbearing at times, but they're one big force against anyone who tries to hurt their sister. It's a comedy with a lot of heart.
'Summer Snow' from Japan https://kisskh.at/568-summer-snow The ML took care of his siblings since he was a young boy. He loves them, protects them and constantly stands by their side. The romance between the leads was beautiful too, and the FL too adored the ML's siblings like her own.
'The Rose' from Taiwan https://kisskh.at/1846-the-rose Siblings from different fathers but the same mother who live in a huge mansion together. They're not close and are almost shut-ins but there's a maturity and something very real in the way they interact (both fight and support each other).
'Kono Yo No Hate' from Japan https://kisskh.at/5709-kono-yo-no-hate While it's not primarily a sibling story, but both sisters are strong badass women who are fiercely protective of each other, and would do anything for the other. One sister is blind, and the other is a hostess. Do note that this is an extremely raw, and dark drama.
'Tenno No Ryoriban' from Japan https://kisskh.at/12252-tenno-no-ryoriban The brother constantly supported the ML in helping him achieve his dreams and become the Emperor's chef. They don't have a lot of scenes, but the few they have are so beautiful. Even when they're not in a frame together, you know they're thinking of each other and want to do their best for each other.
There are a few more.. but these are the ones at the top of my head.
Thank you for your reply! Really sorry for spamming you with my comments. I need a spoiler - when do they finally start dating / have their first kiss?

Sad, because this had the potential. I really really liked the initial episodes..
Such a cute and fun drama hehe :)
I need to watch more BLs.. the few I've watched were great.
Do check them out :)
I guess it's more the actor I don't like than the character.
Also I don't know why.. I just don't feel the ML's love for the FL. It's weird because I felt it in the initial episodes but I just don't feel it lately..
No point giving up now. Not until I at least get to the kiss right?!
I am convinced.
4 more hours before they get together
OH GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
