Personally, I think it's not a question of which couple is real or fiction, but rather that the post-credit scene made it possible for both to be real – in a parallel universe. I think both stories are real because both couples exist for the other one as fiction.
The script? A perfect 10. Also, the way the storylines were intertwining? *chef's kiss* You could truly tell that someone had a very thought out vision while writing AND filming this.
I don't think this was really good. It was kinda all over the place. There were too many things it wanted to focus on, and everything was dealt with in a rather anticlimatic way, IMO. Sometimes I felt, they just wanted a BL about a man that was as close to be a stripper (but not really) as possible. But in a way that it was kinda feminist: Because he chose the job himself. And it was kinda fun because he had friends, and his bedazzled boss is exploitative but with a big heart. And ofc we get to see him dance sexily. I have nothing to say about the indescribable display of police work. I knew it couldn't be serious the moment, in the first episode, when Wayu woke up on a chair in Krit's office instead of in medical care, after a head injury that left him unconscious… . Anyway, the chemistry though was fire though.
If there's one thing they couldn't do then it was cast age appropriate actors as students. I get that maybe it would've been a problem to cast real teens when they are shown to be beat up. However, with the exception of very few, so far (ep 7) everyone that was cast as a student is either in their late twenties or early thirties – and it's very obvious while watching. The guy who played the 14y/o kid is legit 33 years old, he is even one of the oldest among the student actors. P.O. is also too old to be a believable student. I feel like there would've been enough actors in their early twenties in South Korea who also would've done an amazing job.
god forbid someone doesn't like to talk about their family or keeps their secrets. As long as he doesn't start lying about it, I don't see the problem.
"you play as a team, not as an individual" goes both ways. Wen makes no effort to be part of the team. The reason they are not including him is because he's always stand-offish and never acts like he even wants to be part of the team. He is angry at Fu and just lets it out on everybody. He has his reason to be guarded, but you can't blame other people when they avoid him then. What is everybody else to think when he says he crashed Fu deliberately? You can't hug a hedgehog that has his spikes raised against you at all times. I don't know if you relate "Everybody has a reason why they act the way they act." to only Wen, but again - it goes both ways. The other boys learn from they interactions with Wen, and it won't get better if he doesn't stop being mean and insulting.
I'm tired of Wen. There is only so much I can excuse. He makes no effort to be part of the group, so the other boys aren't alone at fault. When he is always insulting them, how are they not supposed to be prejudiced? He doesn't care about the others, he only cares about Fu. God forbid, he didn't recognize you 10 years later and stood you up. He acts like Fu is the reason his father is an ***hole. They didn't pass him the ball, because they didn't know what he was thinking. There is no chance for team play if one of them refuses to be part of the team.
Random teenager asking Phatsa about secondary genders as if he hadn't only heard about it for the very first time in his life a week ago. So just everybody knows about it, just not him.
I have to constantly remind myself that this isn't unrealistic just because I don't have their insecurities. I'm too rational to feel insecure about my bf meeting his ex-wife who's newly married. But I also wouldn't have hung on a guy my whole college years or would've accepted him coming and going whenever it pleased him. I also wouldn't have begged my bf in a cafe on my knees. I wouldn't ghost my partner for 3 years and expect them to just take me back. I wouldn't secretly meet my ex-husband behind my bf's back and not communicate the reason before it becomes a problem.
I think it was ep18, the camping episode. He was ready Verity by her when Wan Xing and her girl friend were talking by the water, just before her watch fell into it, and then very briefly after you could see Yellowface by RF Kuang on a table.
Some people manipulate so much, that they don't even know what manipulation is any more, because it becomes their second nature and they don't have to think about it.
I was so hooked until the big revelation, but now I'm kinda struggling with the last 5 episodes. It kind of feels like him going to war is very redundant.
