This was pretty average for me until the very last scene, it was beautifully shot and very moving. The juxtaposition of different emotions being felt by Nont, Kaitoon and Valen was excellent. Now I'm really looking forward to season two. OH my only gripe is Kaitoon wears WAY too much makeup.
I’m sorry but this show was a mess. The plot, motivations/intentions, the sequence of events…..all confusing and often make no sense. Will I watch season two? Oh come on, of course I will. :-)
Lots of Boys, not much Love. I was attracted to this show because I love the rural ones (Love Poison, Siew Sum Noi etc.), but this one just fell flat. The product placements that turned into infomercials had me rolling with laughter. Now if I could just find that stir fry sauce...
What the eff did I just watch? Okay, in Episode 9, Chudjane hooks up with Sean, obviously there's chemistry there. Then in the finale, he eliminates Sean while telling him that he's Chudjane's favorite, but he's selfish and Sean would probably get hurt. Um, what does that say about the two remaining contestants? That one of them will eventually get hurt by his selfishness, but that's fine? So he ultimately chooses Mick, a person who obviously cares about him a great deal, but there's zero romantic chemistry there. Like zero. After I watched it I went back through Chudjane's and Mick's social media accounts and other than a few publicity shots for the show, neither one is mentioned by the other. I call fake.
Normally I get kinda salty when there are lots of spoilers in the comments, but in this case, since we have to pay to watch it, I'm grateful. Thanks everyone, you saved me $9. #leonpob
Yes, it was good and yes, Son Yejin and Hyun Bin have great chemistry. But OMG did it drag. It could have easily been ten episodes. Also, if you've seen My Love From the Stars, you've seen Crash Landing On You. Exchange stoic alien with stoic DPRK soldier and voila!
I watched this series excitedly after reading all of the glowing comments. While Shiro and Kenji do make a cute couple and all of the food looks amazing, the whole thing was just meh for me. I know Asian men can be reserved when it comes to showing affection/emotion (I'm married to one), but the lack of affection that Shiro showed (or didn't show) toward Kenji was off-putting for me. Even the purchase of rings that sent Kenji over the moon was only for Shiro's selfish purpose. It's not that I was expecting them to pounce on one another or roll around in bed, but even one kiss would have been nice.
