two months later and i genuinely don’t remember a single thing that happened in this series

yeah it’s very obvious how this is going to turn out. fixed ships make the endgame predictable from the start which can take away the tension. i really wish ships were more flexible especially when it comes to older pairings like they’ve already proven themselves, worked together enough times and built a solid fanbase. atp it would be more interesting to let them experiment and try something new. but unfortunately, i don’t really see that changing anytime soon. that said, i was genuinely pleasantly surprised to see jira and pheem share semi intimate moments. it gave their dynamic more weight than i expected and i really hope we get to see more of them together.

when van started messing up i honestly thought it was just fear of commitment, not that it would have excused his behavior but at least it would’ve made him somewhat understandable like something i could empathize with, even if only a little. but it turns out he’s far worse than that. he was the one who made the first move on farm knowing full well that farm had romantic feelings for him and from the preview of the next episode, he says he thought he could grow to like him eventually which is such a cruel mindset to have in this situation. what kind of person enters a relationship on a “maybe i’ll feel something later” basis especially with a close friend??? van knew exactly how farm felt and how much that friendship meant to him. farm tried to rationalize the situation again and again and gave van multiple chances to end things before they crossed a point of no return. farm would’ve rather kept his feelings one sided than risk losing van as a friend and yet van still chose to lead him on, fully aware of the emotional imbalance. i swear van is the most selfish, shallow, self centered person imaginable. he’s all talk and no action always hiding behind empty apologies and vague promises while refusing to take real accountability. he put his own comfort and uncertainty above farm’s emotional well being. what an awful friend and i don’t even need to mention what that makes him as a boyfriend.

no i don’t keep up with them outside of the show. i don’t really see the point in choosing time since he’s clearly focused on sunny and namnung and if any guy were to have a chance with him it would probably be tod. kong is new and doesn’t have many options unfortunately but i want to see more of him with someone who’s confirmed to be into men

thank you namnung and sunny for the yuri feast ! also i need to see more of tod and kong…

jeonghan literally saw jeongin beat the shit out of iljo at their father’s funeral and heard him call iljo an illegitimate son. then in episode 4, jeonghan even asks iljo why he loves his dad so much when the man didn’t even register him as his son. i genuinely thought we were all on the same page 😭 turns out jeonghan did not give a fuck whether iljo was his blood related cousin or not he was going for it anyway he’s sick😭 and when jeongin told him that he’d had a go at iljo too, jeonghan didn’t even question it???? like he was just… okay with the fact that iljo’s own blood related brother slept with him, as if that’s something that just casually happens sometimes ?&?&:&;& if anything, i’d say he was jealous HDJDJFJFJF he’s actually insane

i’m afraid we are ALL going to hell 😭😭 iljo for not saying shit, jeonghan for still going for it, us for watching it unfold and of course jeongin for being jeongin

now wait a damn second… i thought jeonghan knew iljo was adopted ?? he fucked iljo fully believing they’re blood related 😭😭😭 even i was weirded out

king’s lips are thin as hell it’s actually distracting like i never catch a single word he says because i’m too busy staring at them

i was honestly really skeptical going into this. i didn’t want to start it mainly bcs i assumed the show wouldn’t fully explore both relationships and would instead make it very obvious who jira is more attracted to and ultimately who he’s going to choose. that kind of predictability is usually what turns me off. i wanted the story to actually explore both relationships properly and maybe even put the audience in a position where we’re genuinely torn about which dynamic we prefer. and i’ll admit, a part of me was even hoping for a messy throuple situation, just all three of them being equally happy and equally miserable together but i knew that was probably wishful thinking. and honestly, that initial concern wasn’t wrong. even now, it’s pretty clear who jira is going to pick in the end. it is obvious and it was obvious even before starting the show but surprisingly, now that i’ve actually watched it, i don’t mind that as much as i thought i would. i’m actually quite surprised by how much i like the show. the story works and more importantly, the dialogue works. that’s something i don’t always feel with gmmtv shows. the conversations often feel flat, underwritten or lacking structure. many of their shows feel a bit incoherent or emotionally shallow. this one, however, actually seems to have nuance to it. my favorite character is definitely pheem. he’s really intriguing, he presents himself as this “good boy” or at least through jira’s eyes but it’s obvious there’s more going on beneath the surface. he’s definitely hiding things, he’s not as straightforward or as morally clean as he wants to appear and that makes him far more interesting. also, i hope future episodes explore the art theme in a deeper way and use it to reflect the characters’ emotions or inner conflicts without making it feel forced or pretentious.

yess the actors came across as genuinely committed to their roles. the foundation was definitely there performance wise but the direction didn’t give their work the structure or space it needed to fully land. it’s a real shame bcs the story itself had so much potential. there was a lot they could’ve explored emotionally and thematically. and like you mentioned before, the film relied too much on telling rather than showing which really hurt the impact.

i felt exactly the same way. i was really confused by how the scenes flowed and i never truly felt the yearning that should have anchored their relationship. i honestly couldn’t tell when they started falling in love, it felt like it happened somewhere off screen. the entire time i had this lingering sense that i was missing something like maybe i wasn’t reading between the lines well enough or picking up on subtext the film expected me to intuit. i haven’t read the manga either so maybe that context fills in the emotional gaps but as a standalone film, it didn’t do enough to guide the viewer through that progression. if a 2 hour runtime isn’t sufficient to show such a nuanced emotional arc then the story probably would have been better served as a limited series, where that development could breathe instead of feeling rushed or implied after the fact.

he should’ve ended up with me jeon. gyeon is incredibly annoying in the way he treats doha, he constantly infantilizes him as if doha isn’t capable of making his own decisions (i know it doesn’t help that doha puts on a baby voice but still). gyeon is far too intrusive, always acting like he knows what’s best for doha better than doha himself. being someone’s friend and even having romantic feelings for them does not give you the right to interfere in their love life or override their autonomy. what he frames as “concern” often comes off as control. doha doesn’t need a guardian or a self-appointed savior, he needs a partner who trusts him to know his own boundaries and desires.

i’m on ep 5 and i find the bff so annoying like i genuinely hope doha doesn’t end up w him

omg we’re getting closer and closer!! thank youuu

whole house mad but can anybody update me on the filming progress plssss

omggg thank youuuu

i randomly remembered this series existed and i checked the cast and omg i literally have no memories of maxnat being in this at alll 😭 i was lowkey watching for puthkaeng only

van pissed me off so bad i can’t stand his behavior. the whole “once a cheater, always a cheater” saying fits him way too well and watching him fall back into the same pattern is just tiring. blaming alcohol for his inability to stay faithful is such a lazy, tired excuse like jinn was just as drunk, maybe even more and yet nothing happened so clearly the issue isn’t alcohol, it’s him and he knows that. i feel bad for farm but at the same time, he knows van better than anyone and still walked into that relationship with his eyes open. a part of me does think he was genuinely fooled by how van seemed to be changing. for a little while, it looked like he was heading toward growth but give him one chance and he goes right back to square one… disappointing his partner.

somebody pls send me the romemok novel im begginggg
