I was going to wait until all episodes are out, as I do with series I'm excited for, but the comment section got…
Parts that ticked me off:
- Clumsy exposition/foreshadowing (the actor suddenly offering to work with real guns and Min saying "no I can't, who will take care of my brother?", the explanation as to why Min's brother is in an expensive hospital, etc.) - Min, on the brink of financial ruin, somehow lives in a big house. - Upbeat music that changes every few seconds (for the iPad kids, I guess) or out of place comedic music and sound effects. - Repeating the scene where Min and Q bump into each other 3 freaking times from different angles like it's an Indian soap opera. - Min asking what the job is after accepting the money like my guy it's too late for that. - Min growing a conscience about the whole thing because he heard the rich asshole play guitar once. - Rich heir getting smashed alone. - Ridiculous rope work that almost fell in their struggling scene but then is magically back in place a second later. - The client transferring the money without seeing a body (I might be proven wrong in the next episode for this one). - From the preview, MinQ's relationship will evolve way too fast.
There is no huge sin here but it cheapens the show overall.
The things I liked:
- Brothers look like brothers. - Pulling the sweater thread was cute. - Petty bickering from the get-go between the leads. - Papang in a villain role. - Leng doing ok for a first time (except the drunk act, and no you don't walk like that when you're drunk, you might feel like you do but you don't.) - Q giving out the roses to weirded out people, was cute and funny. - The plot in general is still a good idea, I just wish they executed it a bit more realistically (no, I don't mean "like Kinnporsche" I mean no illogical (re)actions from characters).
It's still okay-ish so far, but I was expecting higher quality in general given it's Ohm's big BL comeback and so far he always acted in decent works. Now I'll wait until all episodes are out because, who knows, things might improve along the way.
I was going to wait until all episodes are out, as I do with series I'm excited for, but the comment section got me curious. I'm way too old to partake in idiotic ship wars or whatever you call that and OhmNanon was an okay couple but I don't miss it so don't even try to come for me. Maybe the first ep is just objectively not that good and that’s ok, no need to take it personally.
I'd like to know what's going on with GMM, they used to have works like NOT ME, now they just have these forgettable…
GMMTV really has been dropping the ball in general recently, going back to desultory plots, cheap editing and first take acting. It’s the case even with trendy actors (My Love Mix Up) and famous, talented ones (Dangerous Romance, Kidnap). I hope it’s just a slum…
I was going to wait until all episodes are out but the comment section is such a mess of paranoia, denial and bad faith on every sides that I have to check it for myself.
Given the vibes of the poster I think I can kiss my hopes for a darker series goodbye. I was wondering how Ohm stays looking so fresh but dude is only 24??? I assumed older with all the dramas he’s been in. He and Leng look good af in the trailer, ugh.
The plot was... a choice, but the acting was on goddamn point. I think they had the best kissing scenes I've seen in a Japanese BL, too bad they were always filmed from far away or in the dark. Also, Natsume is the son of the Cherry Magic couple and Toma is the son of the Old Fashion Cupcake change my mind.
I’m still not over how unphased Great was when he discovered his brother does kidnapping and attempted murder on the side. Like no questions asked, just laughing on some bridge. 💀
GreatTyme’s lack of screentime and mid NC scene in ep 4 is karma for my complaining about the other NC being uninteresting. I apologise BoC, now I know what uninteresting truly means!
nooooo if you had a closer look you would find the plushy he gave to tyme on his own couch after...
Of course, not everything has to be dark. But claw machine plushies is like... high contrast haha. Really took me by surprise and, personally, I would have gone with something a bit more lowkey to keep the overall mood.
