The First Night with the Duke Episode 1
0 people found this review helpful
one of my favorite web novels is Miss Not-So Sidekick, so i was hoping this was along the same lines (as i haven't read the web-novel this has been adapted from) & i wish i could say this was hilarious & i loved the MC from the get-go. i didn't - she is too in her head, too skittish & cowardly - which makes it hard for me to really love her. but thankfully towards the end she did (kinda) stand-up to the main mean-girl = Hwa Seon. so i am hoping this will get better - or rather she (Seon Chaek) will get better/ more likeable. otherwise won't last a few ep's let alone reach the end.

short & sweet, maybe a bit too short for my liking - as it feels like there could've been so much more to this plot, as it has potential (for both couples) heck even Seon Jae is an interesting enough character & he could've had a new story of his own. but it is what it is & it was fun while it lasted. still leaving with this feeling like when ur starving & instead of a full-course meal, ur given a taste of things to come - but they never will.... so ur left hungry. *********************************************************well acted & liked all of the character's but Dong Ha was my favorite & happy for him that Ju Won realized he let fear blind him & went after the man he loved. this was fun but too short

an ep from the end so of course there gonna be some drama, but the fact that Dong Ha ran after Ju Won in-spite of him trying to eat him is surprising - that he didn't need time to get used to the idea or have questions etc... guess he that love blind. & Ju Won was he usual self - self preservation before anyone else, so he rejected Dong Ha before he could reject him. ***************but the running theme of this BL is Ju Won hurting Dong Ha & then running after him to apologize.

so we saw & Ju Won even told Dong Ha, that he was a kid when he moved into that house - meaning he was born half human half vampire. so that means, he will grow old, doesn't seem to posses any super power & even his bloodlust isn't an issue. so the reason Seon Jae keeps telling him, they can't be with humans - is just cause they consume blood?!? cause yeah the 'being a vampire' is an issue, but after confiding in Dong Ha & him getting used to the idea - why can't they be together?!??? i get that there maybe a selfish motive - which Ju Won understood & squashed it without making a big song & dance about it. ************btw the kiss was hot & i am happy that not only did Ju Won realize his feelings, but acted on them. also like that when Dong Ha gets hurt, he doesn't rush to forgive & understand Ju Won, he stand his ground until Ju Won apologizes.

they r so cute together & i also like the 2nd couple (who idk how long have been living in that house together) but finally r coming to realize they have feelings for each other. now just wondering where Seon Jae disappeared too & if the mains r gonna act on their feelings, how many days have passed & if it's almost a month, if so - will Ju Won pursue Dong Ha?!? will they have a future? a lot of questions & only 3 ep's to go

didn't expect things to change so fast - i blinked suddenly this all about Dong Ha & Ju Won, that scene in the bathroom got my heart racing. well glad they got chemistry - & seems that even Seon Jae noticed it. now the question is how this gonna develop. the fact Dong Ha doesn't have family is kinda foreboding cause he can be "disappeared" & no one will wonder.

the eps r too short...ugh - but it was so funny, them trying to fatten Dong Ha up & have to say this other then his personality which is the best (love how smiley he is) but IMO he is the best looking. ***********************************************************& i guess Seon Jae is only interested in Dong Ha for his blood, the one he is attracted too is Ju Won. so was wrong (in a way) as Seon Jae is gonna end-up with a broken heart, just the one he is infatuated with was incorrect in my previous comment. ********side note: Lee Ju Young (the one playing Eun Ho)reminds me so much of the K-actor Yang Se Jong, they could be siblings or cousins. just me - oh well

A Man Who Defies the World of BL 2024 Episode 2

2nd ep was more of the same & have to say the part i enjoy the most, r with the main, Mob is such a mood & in- spite of his crazy inner thoughts & actions, i wanna see more of him & less of the the side couples that get together cause of him. it's getting tedious as we don't have any attachment to the couples - we don't even know who they r, so watching random character's get together isn't doing it for me this season. if anything it's kinda boring. lets hope we get more of Mob & less of everyone else.

1st ep was as funny as the previous seasons & even though Mob the moron got a new guy interested in him i am sure he will find a way to not only avoid him but push him towards someone else avoiding the BL trap. & as much as this is funny & fun i kinda want Mob to end up with someone & stop fixating on the BL part - focus more on the love part of the relationship.

now i don't mean Dong Ha is fat, but he isn't that thin - he looks healthy - the correct weight for his height. so i don't get what he should weigh & how that correlates with how much bloods running through his veins - but that's what the plot's supposed to be, so cool. & yet Seon Jae, Gyu Min & Eun Ho all want a "piece", can Dong Ha survive that much blood loss? no matter how much weight he gains, i doubt even at 100 kg's would mean he can lose over 2 liters (which is fatal). *****************************btw maybe just me, but for now i think Dong Ha & Seon Jae got more chemistry then Dong Ha & Ju Won. so i hope Ju Won stops with the stuck-up act, or he's gonna wake-up too late & then Seon Jae gonna get his heart broken - cause he is the 2nd ML (that trope it over done to death & not that entertaining).

cute 1st ep, the plus in not reading the webtoon (1) i don't know what's gonna happen & (2) i have zero expectation's... having said that interesting concept, would've liked more of a set-up like why Okhee seems like the boss of them all (all the vampire's in that house) who calls the shots?!? why Gyu Min & Eun Ho r full vampire's, while Ju Won is half (also who turned him) & how does Seon Jae fit's in the equation - the bad-boy of the group?!? *******************************************************************also who moves (rents) into a house for only a month, by the time u settle in, u gotta move out - not logical.

still don't get why Seok Cheol needed to go confront O Sang Yeol, yeah they might have been buddy buddy at times & he might not have been a mean boss to him, but all said & done he was a thug, that couldn't be trusted & he proved it more then once. so going to ask him to give himself up & go to the police station together - really?!? moronic move if u ask me. & if Tae Hun hadn't come along, with his thugs Seok Cheol would've ended up in a body bag. but i guess he knew this fact & that is why he basically was saying 'good bye' to all his loved ones, in a low-key way. ************************************************************************him ending up in prison was an interesting twist that i didn't see but all in all i think it was a fitting end to this drama. i enjoyed this from stat to finish & still don't get what people were going on about. this was well acted & the plot was interesting. not perfect but good!

well was wrong about Son Heung Man, as it was O Sang Yeol after all. but felt so bad for U Seok, if only he listened to Seok Cheol from the start, but he didn't - not the multiple of times Seok Cheol told him to do anything by come by their office & at the end, he didn't listen & run when Seok Cheol told him that they wouldn't let him live. poor misguided soul. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************but didn't expect Tae Hun to do a 180 after a few words from Seok Cheol, heck he even went so far as to tell him, that now that he has someone who loves him as much as Mi Yeong, he shouldn't put himself in danger. that's a huge step forward for a man like Tae Hun. **************************************************************************************************************************but the part the i enjoyed the most, was seeing Boss Kim - idk why but i felt relieved when he walked into that office & then later u see him fishing. ****************************************************************************************************************i guess Seok Cheol is trying to gather enough evidence to throw O Sang Yeol in prison for U Seok's murder. which is "his way" - & given he never wanted to be a thug the logical way to deal with a mobster for any law abiding citizen. just hope he get's to do that without getting stabbed or worse & we get a happy ending without many casualties...

if only i could chose the winning lottery numbers, with the same accuracy i guessed who was stabbed Seok Cheol. & even though i was sure O Sang Yeol was the one that put U Seok up to it, now i am 90% sure it was Son Heung Man (the gangster that untied Seok Cheol) he was the one most effected when he heard that Seok Cheol was in contact with Tae Hun. ************leaving 10% for O Sang Yeol - who could also have done it & he came to the hospital to make sure that Seok Cheol didn't remember the school bully that kept hanging around in the hopes of joining the gang. u never know with bad-guys. *****************************************************************************************************************************************************Tae Hun surviving that ambush was miraculous & very brutal to watch. but i don't get why Mi Yeong wants to meet him - what is the point? talking not gonna change him. or she thinks he will again admit to it & she can record him or something. still moronic move considering not the average joe but a mob-boss. ********************************************************************things have gotten so complicated idk how or what is gonna happen next or what i would like to happen. but will happily sit here watching till the end. which i hope isn't depressing ****************************************************************************side note: wonder how Boss Kim is doing. is he alive? in a coma? undergoing an operation?? kinda wanted Sil Gon [Seok Cheol's father] to come across him somehow when he left his sons hospital room.

whenever Seok Cheol thinks he is finally out "they" pull him back in. dude can't catch a break. if it aint Tae Hun it's his old gang. O Sang Yeol heard Seok Cheol wanted out & he wasn't even tempted when Boss Kim told him that he was a better fitting 2nd in command then O Sang Yeol. he couldn't just leave well enough alone. & not enough his mind is rotted he got the "rat" Yeon Gi egging him on. *********************************************************************************************************************but keeps fighting hard to keep things civil - dude is a saint & sadly saint becomes saints cause they r sacrificed. *****************but am glad that at least Mi Yeong admitted to him that she didn't want to break-up. yeah it was more a selfish admission then altruistic. but i don't blame her. ******************************************************************************************************Seok Hui on the other hand was altruistic in her sacrifice for her family. but one can be selfish & selfless all in one as her telling her bf - he gonna leave her behind was a d*ck move. like she wasn't happy for him when he thought he was getting promoted. she asked him if he even took her into consideration & i ask the same of her. & then she was ready for a long distance relationship as long as she could peruse her dreams, why can't he? especially when the he isn't gonna get promoted is cause he wasn't ready to abandon his connectionless gf. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i have read a couple of comments disliking this drama as a whole or certain parts of it... & as of this ep i genuinely am baffled as to why. this is well written & acted. there isn't a boring moment & i can't find fault. yeah there character's u like more & others u like less but isn't that down to good acting?!?? ***************************************************************************& regarding Lee Sung Kyung as Mi Yeong yes the actress is glamorous & gorgeous but her character here is rather bland. but given her trauma in the past & the hard life she has been living in the present can one blame her? yeah she could be the usual overacting fragile damsel in distress, but i like that we see a different FL type - who is reserved & stoic.. but when it's needed she shows her emotion's. bottom line i don't see what others r complaining about. is it perfect - nope, but nothing is.
