I actually enjoyed myself during episode 1. The humour is stupid humour but I still found it genuinely funny. Also I was really impressed with Tar - he’s playing such an strange role -definitely not like anything I’ve ever seen - including a singing and dancing number in ep1 - but he shone in every scene, making it clear his character appears bad but there is more going on under the surface. Bom had an easier job but I feel he struggled - his energy is at 100 the entire time and I just want him to bring it down for the scenes he doesn’t need that - I think he will do well with the cuter scenes later on - so I have hope. I had quite low expectations so it’s definitely better than I was expecting.

I didn’t know everyone hates the Kingdom of Love setting - that’s had some of the most fun later scenes of the drama to me.
Also I’m eating up all of these John Jang and Park Ji Wan crumbs. John Jang has unexpectedly had the best and most complete arc of any character (I started hating him, but now he’s one of the most fun and hilarious characters to watch). And I hate how the writers have treated Park Ji Wans SA storyline and I want her to get some sort of happy ending and I feel with their chemistry I really want it to be with them together!

episode 7 destroyed me, but (unlike most people) it completely made sense to me. I can definitely relate to certain aspects of Mamoru’s character and it’s so painful seeing him like this. Since I started watching more bl and non bl jdramas I’ve come to the conclusion that (in my opinion) jdramas are the kings of character building! I never get as easily as obsessed with and attached to characters like I do with jdramas!

I just realised Ko Cham Bin was one of the comedic friends in Love Revolution, he was so goofy in that series and looked like such a baby-he looks so different 2yrs later!

wow! I has laughing so hard at the start of episode 5, but then started crying towards the end. This was meant to be my sweet comfort show, but I should’ve known these series always end up becoming sad!

I want to watch this because I love so much of the cast, but knowing it’s coming from Takashi Miike gives me the fear, because he’s made so much of the most horrific stuff I’ve ever tried to watch.

woah! such an interesting concept, enjoyed the first episode! thank you to the people in the comments that convinced me!

I think I’ve come to a conclusion on my feelings for this drama. Personally I feel like the chemistry between Rain and Payu was beyond incredible, their scenes felt so natural, scenes with the 2 of them are pretty much unbeatable and it elevated their storyline vastly, which was messy and really didn’t make much sense. But I feel like Pai and Sky had a pretty regular amount of chemistry, not non-existent but just a basic amount and I feel like Fort was amazing in the emotional scenes and Peat was better in the comedic scenes, but their story made so much more sense and was much more cohesive. So I feel like I should be more of a Pai and Sky fan, but Payu/Rain have the best chemistry I’ve seen in any series of this year and so because it’s so good I prefer their story, but I do think technically the second is better. I would love to see both couples get their own full length series because I feel we were robbed with them only getting half each!

I’m liking this quite a bit. I think the 2 leads are really interesting characters and I’m enjoying finding out more about them. Although I’m a little confused about where they stand with each other. I was pretty sure Bai Lang knows that Xun An is interested in him, but he thinks he’s too much of a mess for Xun An, but sometimes it reads like he doesn’t understand that he’s interested in him? Also currently i personally don’t feel much chemistry between the leads (but I know most people would disagree with me), but maybe that will develop for me! The second couple I really like, I personally feel they have way more chemistry and a really fun dynamic. So I’m more invested in the second couple, but all of the characters are really enjoyable to watch, so I’m eager for more!

is this different enough to the Kdrama that it’s worth watching both?

So Rang seems like such an awesome character - so different from the usual sageuk FL!

I’m been so understanding of Yeo Reum up to this point, but she went too far this time BUT that isn’t affecting how much I love this drama, because I love so many of the characters Jae Hoon is an amazing ML, Chae Ri is so intriguing with her moral ambiguity, sang woo is a sweetheart and all of the contestants bring something more to the drama (I’ve even started to enjoy John Jang scenes because I find it hilarious how much of a jerk he is) also I just love the setting of a reality show. I’m upset Yeo Reum has really let me down as a character, but I’m really hoping they some how fix her in these final 6 episodes!

i loooved that first episode! too cute- leads have great immediate chemistry!

I hope this is the drama that makes my dreams come true of seeing kwak shi Yang in a leading romantic role!

Comedically he’s one of my faves, but he’s getting better at more serious roles too - he’s quickly becoming one of my all round favourites

I’d be interested to see which story people prefered! because I was way more obsessed with Payu/Rains story, but all my friends felt the opposite and loved Pai/Sky more. so which did you all prefer or did you like them equally?

is this good? at the beginning I saw quite a few negative reviews, but as it’s gone on people are seeming to love it more and more.

I also loved it! I get more invested each episode!

Please can we get more Park Ji Won and John Jang interactions! I really want to see that friendship grow. They’re each other’s complete opposites which made their scene really work! I would have loved to see them become a couple, but it’s pretty clear that’s not the way they’re heading. I just want her to have some genuine support when Joon Hos true nature is revealed and I want to just see him actually be a kind and genuine person for once! 😂

Q11! I know Vice Versa took till Q41 to finish - but that was by one of the higher ups in GMMTV. So I don’t think (and hope) this will take that many Qs, because I don’t see P’Jo getting that sort of moneye for this! It feels like this has been at the top of my most anticipated dramas list for ages (I felt the same way about Not Me last year). Also after seeing P’Jos short film for Yinwars concert it made me so much more excited for this because there are some similarities in the themes of both projects - and that was a masterpiece. The set photos all look absolutely incredible too - I’m ready so for this to rip out my heart - hurry up!
