I put off watching this drama because I thought Krist & Gawin were a strange pairing but a friend pushed me to try it and I was amazed by how much I loved it. It's incredibly well written with strong characters who change and grow in ways that feel organic and grounded even within the fantastical plot device of time travel. I love that Kawi and Pisaeng coming out to themselves & others and embracing their love for each other turns out to be the key to everyone's happiness, not just their own. It's now one of my favorite Thai BLs along with Moonlight Chicken, Tale of Thousand Stars and Not Me.
Is the drama actually good and just getting troll-rated/hated by snowflake arabs?
I've enjoyed weird humor in dramas like Behind Your Touch so I was hoping to like this one but I literally laughed once in the first three episodes so I gave up. Something was off about the pacing. It felt very slow and also like it was trying too hard to be funny if that makes any sense.
Someone please tell me if I should watch this one or the original Japanese version 😭
I suggest you watch both and compare because the differences between the versions are fascinating. The Japanese adaptation is very short and fast to watch
I agree with everything you said but especially your points about eps 8 and 12 which sank Achi's character for me. He did nothing to protect Karan from being humiliated by the client plus taking the scene with Karan's mother away from him destroyed the show's last chance to show Achi fighting for the relationship. Awful.
I wanted to ask about the scene 5 years ago, before 2ML ran to the US - when his boyfriend was beaten. Who hurt…
Some people thought the boyfriend harmed himself because he found out about the arranged marriage but given the bruises and cuts on his face I doubt it was self harm. I guess we'll learn more as the drama goes along
I don't like Dohan even though I have sympathy for him. His boyfriend got beaten up, presumably by someone connected to his family, and he ran away? And now he's dragging his friend into a situation where there's a good chance she's going to get chewed up by his wealthy and powerful family. His behavior is incredibly selfish.
Aside from Dohan being gay this is a pretty standard chaebol succession plot and even though I really like all of the actors I'm not finding it terribly interesting. I'm not sure I'm continuing this one.
I watched this along with SOTUS and I have to say I enjoyed SOTUS way more. Pete is such a red flag, he's controlling, violent and irrational. Jealous of a high school boy, are you serious? If you really think your boyfriend is involved with a minor tell the kid's father or call the school authorities. Another thing that bothered me is Kao looked low key scared of Pete. At least in SOTUS Kongpob is never scared of Arthit even during the worst of the bullying. I only made it through this for Sun/Mork but even they were kind of a mess with Sun acting more like an uncle than a lover.
