I started this b/c some of the later U-Prince installments look cute but I know they're all connected so I decided to just watch them all in the order they were released... but man, after this first ep of this one I think it's gonna be tough for me to make it through this Cowboy dude's story (esp. since it's twice as many episodes as most of the others! Ugh). I'm used to shows starting out with a**hole male leads but usually there's a way I can see how he will eventually *become* appealing. In this case it would take some pretty amazing writing and I just don't think this series can pull it off, honestly.

Edit: Y'know what? I've just spent the last 10 minutes reading all the comments below me and I think I'm just gonna skip ahead to the next guy's story b/c it seems that rather than improving, the story gets that much worse. Condolences to everyone who endured it so that folks like me can heed your warnings!

Too Young to Die is already on my (incredibly long) To Watch list, but I'm adding When a Wolf Falls in Love with a Sheep, since you've made it sound very cute!

When I think of "wtf endings," I immediately think of the 2008 K-drama Single Dad in Love (just a warning, if you go look at the MDL page for the show there are *unhidden* spoilers in the comments).

Yeah, I'm still *really* confused where they were going with Wit & Yok's mom. Especially since they just dropped it so unceremoniously. Ah well, the writing is not great but I will still remember these characters fondly at least.

I kinda wanted to check this out for Dao & Kookai but I honestly don't think I can get past the other couple (my face just involuntarily scrunches up during those scenes, I find it so distasteful). And I don't believe in skipping scenes (b/c then you haven't really watched the drama, just the highlight reel) so I think I'm gonna have to give this one a pass after 1 ep.

Same, it was so mean-spirited and I didn't like that they were basically caricatures/stereotypes, especially considering what seems to be happening with Pob & Nick. It's one of the things I wish the show had handled *way* differently because it kind of soured me on the story.

Thank you for posting the link-- I wanted this but the usual online shops I frequent don't have much (if anything) Thai so I was at a loss as to where to order. I also picked up the Krist-Singto Kissing photobook so I'm super-excited. Again, THANK YOU!

I'm watching along and it looks like they basically took the movie (or a roughly movie-length story) and split it up into 10 minute "episodes" (and the credits add ~5 minutes to the run time, so each is 15 minutes). Seems to be a similar approach being taken with Red Balloon: The Series.

Holy sh*t Tsubasa is lookin' GOOOOD.

Also, plot sounds absolutely crazy. I'm watching this for sure (if it's subbed, of course).

Reunited Worlds sounds interesting, certainly worth checking out an episode or 2, if only to figure out the mechanics behind that premise! I haven't seen Yeo Jin Goo in an adult role yet but if his childhood/teen acting is any indication, he's more than capable. And Lee Yeon Hee was pretty good in Hwarang (she did what she could with the role, like everyone else in that drama).

So far (at ep.03) if I were Setoka I'd grab the cute gay boy from ep.01 and get the hell outta Dodge b/c we could both do better elsewhere.

I can't get over how attractive Juggler is in this.

I'm a little... unenthused about them pairing him with an actress 14 years his junior. Not that it matters, I don't like melodrama that much so I probably wasn't gonna watch this anyway.

Is this Golf (and brother Mike) the grown-up version of the boy who was in a one-off J-pop unit with Yamashita Tomohisa called GYM (for Golf Yamashita/Yamapi Mike) in 2004 or 2005 maybe?

I would say yes, but *very* subtly so. I understand there was some government censorship involved, unfortunately, so who knows to what degree it was "muted" for censors.

I bought the Canadian DVD.

Liao Jin Feng -- I think this is his first role though (I don't really know my way around the Chinese drama world though so I could be wrong, or I just don't know how to look).

He's so good-- even if the drama around him is "meh", *he* at least is infinitely watchable in any role. I too fell for him after Long Vacation. It was one of those situations where, in the early years of my drama fandom, I would hear about what a god this guy is but I couldn't really see the appeal. Then I saw him *act* (again, in Long Vacation) and I was instantly like, "OH I GET IT NOW" <3<3<3 , followed by going on a KT drama streak (this was mid-to-late 2000s so we're talking old* dramas Pride, Engine, Gift, Good Luck!, and HERO). I like many of his newer dramas too, but these will always hold a place in my heart (esp. Long Vacation, Engine, & Gift-- I'm one of the very few who was "meh" about Pride [and that was more about how I felt about the female lead anyway] esp. considering how well-loved it seems to be).


*god, it pains me to call something from the 2000s an "old" drama but I guess it WAS a decade ago now...

I went and looked and I'd have to join a forum that's primarily in French to access the subs. Not sure I'm gonna do that, but at least the option is there theoretically.
