Of the ~20 GL dramas that I've watched, I think that Love Design might have been the most consistently good from start to finish. If I'm being honest, I don't think that it's the most fun or exciting GL series, nor was it filled to the brim with memorable moments. And while the acting was good, I don't think that there were any performances that really stood out. But unlike basically all other GL series, there also weren't any specific moments that REALLY pissed me off, nor did either of the 2 female leads cross a line that made me contemplate whether or not I was still rooting for her. There also weren't any terrible actors or actresses.

As you said, Mind's redemption arc was actually done well. Despite what she did to Aokbab, it never felt like Mind was inherently evil, so it was obvious that she would one day own up to her awful mistakes. Thee, meanwhile, was clearly beyond repair, so it was great to see him get what he deserved. And now that he's alienated Aokbab's 2 brothers and Mind, I highly doubt that he'll ever be able to rebuild.

I recently dreamt that Prem became a fan of heavy metal music. I'm sure that you can all guess how Prem's father reacted to her listening to Tool and Slayer.

December 5, I think

It's refreshing to watch a GL series where the evil (grand)parent(s) actually get(s) what they deserve. I only wish that GAP, The Secret of Us, and Poisonous Love had their own Kem to take out the trash.

I also have a lot of respect for Bow encouraging Prem to break up with Pat as softly and respectfully as she could. I was so relieved that Prem didn't end up saying the typical harmful phrases during the breakups in these GL dramas:

- "I don't love you."
- "I've never been happy with you."
- "Women should only be in relationships with men."

Kudos to Love Design (and actor Hymn) for giving us a memorable GL drama villain. Thee was just as entertaining as he was corrupt, and I loved his mobster-like clothing style.

Thank you. I'll try my best to patiently wait another 16 days to see Pat and Prem again.

Has the special wedding episode been filmed yet? And will it be airing in 2025?

"I tried, Prem. I was in such a serious condition. But I guess my will to see you must've been so strong, so I cheated death. Did I do well?"

"Of course you did. You're the best, Pat."

I've just started watching Love Design, and I'm loving it so far.

I loved Poisonous Love, but the show really drained me emotionally, especially those final 3 episodes. So I've decided to follow it up with something a bit more cute and light-hearted.

As awful as the parents are, I doubt that even they're dumb enough to believe that this was going to be a foolproof plan. One of these days, they're going to have to let Prem back out into the world (assuming she doesn't commit suicide). As soon as she returns to work at the hospital, I'm sure it will take less than 5 minutes before someone says that Pat is alive and recovering.

Prem's parents are wealthy, but I highly doubt that they have enough money to bribe all of the doctors, nurses, and orderlies at the hospital to stay silent about Pat's fate.

I loved the 2nd half of the finale, and I'm very glad that Prem and Pat got their happy ending, but the 1st half of the finale was so just so badly executed. I suspect that the writers wanted us (the viewers) to also believe that Pat was dead, and this was sadly the best thing that they could come up with.

Are we seriously supposed to believe that Tan, Bow, Sita, Ticha, and Pat's parents were just going to sit back and let Prem believe that Pat was dead just because Prem's abusive bigoted parents ordered them to?

And assuming that Pat hadn't been comatose for that whole time, what exactly were they telling her at the hospital? If anyone had told Pat any hurtful lies about why Prem wasn't visiting, then Pat would have flatlined again, and this time, Sita wouldn't have been able to bring her back to life.

All the 6 of them had to do was visit Prem's family residence. Even if the parents refused to let them into the house, they all could have just screamed out "Pat's alive". I'm pretty sure that Prem could have heard them from the 2nd floor of the house. And if the parents called the police, claiming that the 6 of them were trespassing, then they'd have to explain why they're holding their fully grown adult daughter hostage in their home, and gaslighting her into believing that her lover is dead.

Unfortunately, I got the horrible sense that he'd been beating his wife for many years, perhaps even before Prem was born. Having a gay daughter is simply his newest "excuse" to be abusive.

In episode 9, I believe that Prem feared that her dad might end up KILLING her mom, and that that was the primary reason why Prem sacrificed her relationship with the love of her life.

The best chance for Nam to redeem herself could have been in the finale. I can see Nam visiting Pat in the hospital, apologizing for being an awful person, and asking if there's anything she can do to help. Pat, of course, would tearfully beg Nam to find some sneaky way to bring Prem there, or to just somehow let Prem know that she survived.

Of the 4 villains, Nam was the only one who didn't seem like she was beyond repair. She just needed to get psychiatric help. Nam was far more deserving of a redemption arc than Prem's sadistic parents.
