This was quite a bit better than most stories of this type, though it had weak spots.
High schools don't leave their rooftop doors unlocked because you know why. Pretending they do so allows for melodramatic confrontations between antagonists, but it's been done a 1,000 times. I would like to know a little about how/why the FL changed her ways from before her transfer. Was Li Chia drugged? I didn't buy the FL's co-conspirators' sudden refusal to follow through with posting the vid. The almost-romance was a waste of time.
On the other hand, all the acting was good. I've become a big Edison Song fan; Hsia Teng Hung too. Both were excellent in the 2023 film "The Time of Huannan," which I watched last night and highly recommend. FL Wang Yu Ping is in TTOH also.
Emotionally wrecking. I have never before wept so frequently during a film without knowing why the hell I was crying. I think it is the intense chemistry between and among the four principal characters, to the extent that though what they were doing and how they got there was a mess, the angst was overwhelming.
The plot is somewhat of a mess, and many of the characters' behaviors/actions don't make a lot of sense given their circumstances. The penultimate scene on the beach and in the water was incoherent. Worst of all, the time-travel element is sloppily rendered. It makes no sense either. It's kind of a toss-off.
And yet, despite all this, I am rating this 9/10 because of the film's beauty and all the random feels the actors conveyed.
All three male leads are just as talented as they are pretty. The FL is a very good actor, but why did her character not age? wtf?
Hey, hate-watching's a thing, a source of genuine pleasure, and, in my case, a fertile ground to harvest a good…
Oh, I thoroughly get "hate-watching," but for me a show has to be SO bad it's good, and these repetitive Thai turds somehow manage to be only blandly bad and thus, of no enjoyment to me.
NO ONE is stopping your enjoyment of this shitty series. NO ONE has made any attempt to do such a thing.
Your delusion that one negative comment among thousands of "ass-licking" ones (as Mimi so colorfully put it) somehow impedes your enjoyment of the show is a common one among MDL members who enjoy crappy BLs.
Seriously...if you're willing to watch this dreck, you are willing to watch anything. Thailand continues to make a mockery of gay relationships, sex, love, and storytelling. This is another standards-free Turd Out of Thailand, flushed down the Thai BL Assembly Line Toilet at the rate of five or six a week.
The Chao Phraya River flowing out of Bangkok is now so clogged with these rancid BL stools that it is beginning to overflow its banks. Perhaps the stench and resultant flooding will move the Thai government to take action against bad BL-making once and for all.
Plot hole: In the real world, after ONE night time murder of a woman in the rain, all women and everyone else…
Omg you are literally the dumbest kind of person to watch a movie with I am so glad I am not your friend. You have not an ounce of intelligence and thus no disbelief to suspend. Clearly, you'll lap up whatever stupidity is placed before you in a film.
The murders WITHIN THE FILM take place within a short period of time, you dolt. The public, EVERYBODY in the film's location IN the film, knew all about the murders happening. They did not need to rely on kind and caring police officers to tell them THEY ALREADY KNEW. it was all over the news. Which is why the cops were in a rush to pin the crimes on someone/anyone. It does not matter what time frame occurred IRL. What matters is what happened in the universe of the film.
As a result. the public's lack of concern about being out and about, traipsing through the countryside, care-free at all hours of the night, with a killer on the loose, makes no sense. You're simple-minded enough to accept that. I'm not.
Furthermore, LOTS of films cover events that take place over long periods of time within their universe, sometimes decades or more. They do so simply by letting the audience know, through various plot devices, or even simple methods like a giant screen card saying "TEN YEARS LATER..."
Has it been your belief to this point in your life that all events presented in all movies take place within the 90 to 120-minutes allowed by the film's running time? lol
Yah, the F disgraceful mistress who ruined another woman's life. *spits*
I don't need to add anything in response to this latest projectile-vomit comment of yours. It's crystal-clear evidence to anyone unfortunate enough to read it, what a piece of hateful, random trash you are. This latest mini-rant confirms the accuracy of everything I've written about you.
Plot hole: In the real world, after ONE night time murder of a woman in the rain, all women and everyone else…
Catch a clue, Anna. The murders IN THIS MOVIE do not take place over a decade; they take place quite quickly one after the other.
"...life is much more complicated than that..." lol No, it's not...not when you've just had your throat slit by a serial killer you knew was out and about. Life after you're dead isn't complicated at all.
If people during a murder rampage, as it is presented in this film, can't be bothered to protect their own lives, I can't feel too sorry for them when they meet the end they get.
Yah, the F disgraceful mistress who ruined another woman's life. *spits*
Do you really not get it, or are you simply, breathtakingly, stupid?
I don't have to "make you seem like" anything, you're making it clear to all here what you are; a self-righteous, anonymous blowhard obsessed with passing judgment on celebrities when you have no standing to do so.
What part of "Dozens of Korean celebrities have killed themselves over the last 20 years following relentless, online harassment, abuse, and condemnation. " do you not understand?
Go somewhere else and sniff panties, preferably your own.
I had no idea who Erika is, nor any knowledge of her private life, until I came to this page. It doesn't matter who the celeb is, what you are doing is WRONG regardless
Yah, the F disgraceful mistress who ruined another woman's life. *spits*
"1. fuck Erika AND the married man..." Seek therapy.
"2. How am I trying to drive her to suicide for criticizing her?" Don't play dumb with me, bozo. Dozens of Korean celebrities have killed themselves over the last 20 years following relentless, online harassment, abuse, and condemnation. You're aiming to make Erika another notch in your netizen belt of suicide victims and it's driving you crazy that instead of crawling under a rock, her career and life are thriving.
3. "The whole affair ordeal was very much public online." Yeah, I'm sure Erika and her BF shared all about their relationship online. You're a liar. Still waiting for an answer as to how this concerns you as an individual...pro tip: It doesn't.
Once you start living a perfect life, perhaps then we can talk about whether or not you're in a position to judge others. Another pro tip: You're not and never will be.
Get a personal life of your own maybe, and pay attention to that
Yah, the F disgraceful mistress who ruined another woman's life. *spits*
Well, let's see...just nine months ago people like you and the above commenter drove LSK to suicide with your online bullshit, and now you're hoping to do the same to Erika. Get the connection?
I love that Erika has lots of roles lined up going forward, if only to upset morons like you.
And why do I see no mention of the married dude Erika had an affair with in your whining? Why are you criticizing only the woman? I'll tell you why: Because you are not only a self-righteous loser, you are a sexist throwback as well.
Could you explain why celebrities' private lives are any of your f**king business?
Holy shit, this is so bad it's good. Yes, that kind of show.
Thank goodness I had read through comments below and knew to start skipping ahead from the beginning, looking for bare skin and sex scenes. I did watch enough of some early non-sex scenes to know just how bad the acting and direction are. Good god, high school level or worse, all the way.
So, I got thru eps 1 & 2 in almost no time, except for that stupid shower scene, which was made bearable only by the hot flesh on display. Can anyone enlighten me on what the thin string around BeBoy's waist is about? But the absurdly ridiculous excuses for both of them to get wet were just so incredibly lame I felt sorry for the actors having to act them out.
Anyway, finally in 3 we got some sex and again, great bodies to enjoy looking at. However, would someone please fill this director in on the fact that gay sex provides many more options than either 1: kissing, or 2: f**king? What about blow j**bs, frottage, butt-munching, handjobs, etc? And how is it we all knew from the very beginning that the bleach-blonde twins would be pure bottoms and nothing else? lol :D Thai BLs code their top/bottom roles very rigidly. You can tell on sight who is going to be schtupping whom. hahaha
Furthermore, am I the only one here who wishes young men in general, but especially young actors, would stop shaving their pubes? eeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww...it's like watching two freakishly tall, muscular seven-year-old boys go at it.
Then there's the matter of the bad sex-acting...lol...have these guys never had sex? All the facial expressions were right out of a bad porn film and SO fake that it was comical. I was never sure if I was meant to be turned on or amused by their gyrations and hilarious faces. Which leads me to another technical matter: the gyrating bodies were frequently positioned in such a way that there is no way any penetration was actually taking place. This show was in desperate need of a sex-scene choreographer.
The "plot" is so lame as to be non-existent. I think I FF thru 85% of the show.
Thing is, I think all four of these guys could potentially be good actors if they had a good director. All of them, but especially BeBoy, were clearly on board to do whatever they were told, and to take the scenery-chewing as far as they could, but that kind of thing needs to be controlled and directed. BeBoy mostly comes off as obnoxious, but I think if well directed, he could be an effective comic actor. Much of the time, all four seemed more than a bit retarded.
OK, so really bad but worth it for bare skin and badly directed but somewhat hot soft-core porn scenes.
5/10, but I don't think it was trying to be any better than this.
"Korean media needs to quit giving out-sized focus to these homo-hating netizens and their stupid comments. How about ignoring them? Because doing such a reasonable thing would undermine the opportunity to whip silliness like this up into a mountain when it's a molehill.
There's a fascinating dichotomy here: On one hand, the Korean entertainment industry is churning out fabulous, quality content that international fans all over the world are eating up; at the same time back home in Korea, the public (supposedly) is about 100 years behind the rest of the world when it comes to social/cultural issues. I say "supposedly," because Korean media, this video included, thrives on magnifying controversy. Doing so makes for more clicks/views/exposure and more $$$.
Thus, after watching this video I have no better idea of how BIG the negative backlash really IS in numbers, than I did before. I believe that is a deliberate choice on the part of the producers of vids like this. Keeping issues murky and seemingly deeper/larger than they are is good for business.
If we were told that comments were running 20-1 in SUPPORT of Nam Yoon and LITBC over negative ones, we'd realize there IS no controversy, and then what would the entertainment scandal rags in Korea report on? So, someone tell me, is the "backlash" significant, or just the few, usual netizen, backward homo-haters spewing their bile online? Who knows?"
