I think it works because it's kind of realistic. In reality, most people aren't going to that extent, but if you dial it back, most of us know someone like that.

You're definitely not an academic.

I wasn't meant to be taking on another drama, because my watch list is currently kind of insane, but I accidentally stumbled across this and decided to dip my toes in the water. I've only watched two episodes and this is a visual masterpiece. Too many shit dramas forget that this medium is VISUAL storytelling, and seem to think it's just about people on screen repeating lines they've memorised. All the visual elements in this story play a part and work together. The lighting is to die for, the varying colour saturation, the appropriately used shaky cam, the tracking shots, the breaking of the 4th wall at the end of ep 1. Even down to at about the 37 minute nark in ep 2 where their outfits match their rooms when they're switching PoVs is fucking thoughtful and masterful. China has a huge population and many extremely talented artists. The fact that so many of their dramas look like shit, even the high budget ones, is an absolute sin when you see stunning visual art like this. It's amazing what you can do when you actually give a fucking shit about your craft.

Good thing the episodes are short, because they're not very good.

The end of ep 3 had me SOBBING. Kim Min Ha, what a performance. You are a fucking QUEEN ❤️

I've got 15 minutes left of ep 14 and now I'm scared and don't want to watch 😭Let my Wig Man keep his kneecaps 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Nothing in any of your comments about incest indicate that you have anything beyond a rudimentary level of education. Step siblings who did not even meet until they were adults do not even give the impression if an incestuous relationship. Step siblings who did grow up together and enter into a sexual relationship may give the impression of it being incestuous, but as incest requires a biological relationship, it is still not incest.

He's hands down my favourite character as well. An absolutely chaotic, unhinged mess.

I'm not sure if waiting will help, because not subbing it seems to be a deliberate choice. Apparently viki removed the voice over altogether, so you can't hear that there's unsubbed dialogue. I have no idea why this is happening.

No, there's several moments of inner dialogue that aren't subbed. How important that dialogue is we don't know.

Wow, only 1 ep per week. I didn't realise. I should have waited until it finished airing to start watching.

I just had a look and there's still no inner dialogue subs on kisskh.co.

I wonder why they didn't add them to begin with. Strange choice.

She was fantastic as a good guy in Beyond Evil

Yeah, it's annoying. Don't know why they didn't sub those parts.

It's lighter than I expected, but the end of ep 2 hit pretty hard. I'm interested to see where they take it.

Not on kisskh

Inner monologue not subbed there

Fantastic. Raw. Smiled and cried and laughed so much. I hope this won awards. Reminds me of the Auatralian novel Holding the Man, but less tragic.

There's no slurs. This person is very clearly not ok. Let's not go back to Dick's Days where we all just ignored that shit.
