š¤£š idk what to do I need help you guys. Advice please should I watch it with you guys tomorrow or wait a…
Personally... I would say wait a while IF you haven't started the show already, but assuming you have, I would say watch it tomorrow haha. Because as much as this show rips at my heart and jumps on it, watching this show alongside others is so much more comforting. I joined a BL chat on instagram and being able to talk about this show for hours is so much fun and is like free therapy since this show drives me insane. Also... I wanted to wait for next week but I have no self control and know I can not hold myself from watching tomorrow's episode. šš
I think your whole expectations on show was totally misunderstood, Kanghan Sailom story doesn't only based on…
Okay, obviously I am not here only for the cliche "bad boy rich student x poor student". I love shows that have a hidden depth to it, and if this show showed more of the struggles that Sailom went through and how he is slowly learning to co-exist with Kanghan despite their very distinct lifestyles/societal differences I would be all for it. But instead we have Kanghan suddenly "befriending" and flirting with the guy he was previously bullying from one episode to another? We should have gotten more closure, we should have gotten Kanghan truly understanding his wrongdoings and apologizing. Instead, we're getting Sailom (who don't get me wrong, I love) being the damsel in distress and having Kanghan resolving things with money and not trying to get to know Sailoms life situation better.
And I understand Kanghan in a sense. I'm in college now, but my parents have never went to college, and didn't even pass high school. My older sister, only has a high school diploma too. I went into college (and I still feel this way) with a yearning for my parents words of encouragement. They have never really cared much about my studies and it has always hurt because I push myself for words of encouragement, but like Kanghan I just get a "don't stress yourself too much". But, although I hate that my parents don't care as Kanghan's dad doesnāt either, I love my parents and know they come from a place of love. And from what we see, if that's the only reason Kanghan is queasy and nervous around his dad it doesn't make too much sense, as when his dad is around the music changes and the vibe seems off. So I hope we get to learn more about Kanghan's relationship with his dad, because his dad does seem to at least care about him and doesn't seem horrendous.
Also, the whole āchildhood tropeā is a little iffy for me, because in most dramas that trope is used in a sense to simply create more drama than necessary and seems like a āfillerā. It is slowly becoming an overused trope and I hope dangerous romance at least portrays this trope in an interesting way, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
But all in all, it is a little too early to judge so Iāll make sure to watch this with little expectations and an open mind because I love the cast and ost, so I just hope Iām not too disappointed.
I think what's most disappointing to me is the fact that they had an AMAZING cast and a really good trailer with good scenes (and I'm really trying to say this nicely) but a masterpiece was in the works, and it all feels like it was wasted. The scenes that were in the trailer are showing up during the most random times throughout the series and too quickly. It would have been totally fine if this show was cutesy, but I don't like being shown in the trailer that this show is angsty and "dangerous" when it truly isn't as I came into this show with high expectations and am being disappointed. Now, I'm not a huge fan of bullying tropes so I'm glad it didn't drag throughout the series, but we literally didn't get any apologies or at the very least an honest redemption arc from Kanghan. With the pacing of this show, you would expect us to at least be on episode 6/7, not 4... also that random "childhood arc" was so unnecessary... and trust me, I still haven't gotten over Kanghan's dad but that's a whole other thing I didn't understand. I'll keep watching for the chemistry and the cast, but I can't believe with a show as anticipated as this one (the pilot trailer was literally the one with the most views for a GMMTV show this year) that it would fall victim to messy writing and directing.
CAnt wait !! first X Khao I don't know why ! People are saying this will air in December!!!!coz DECEMBERis not…
I saw someone spreading news that it was coming out in september and i was like huh?? and almost cried. so then i asked them and they were like "idk i forgot where i heard it from, might be false idk" and i was slightly relieved but... they barely had their first script reading like a month ago so if theyre barely about to start filming i think the end of 2023 is a what we'll have to expect. i will -patiently- (impatiently) wait for it to come out.
the most awaited show in 2023 for me. toxic relationships. toxic friendships. im all here for it.
normally i would wait to see if the pros outweigh the cons before engaging in a such messy drama but... literally one look at the cast list and like everyone else, i dont care if this drama pulls out my heart and STOMPS on it, i have never been soooo excited for a show to come out. i literally check this page and gmmv/actors social media accounts everyday to see if there's any update i can hardly wait any longer.
I should add it to my list or not, I was mostly just waiting for a trailer to decide. But now that I know PBY and PHS are making an appearance I am 100% tuning in. Directors made a smart decision by including them tbh because I absolutely loved SWDBS along with so many others.
since this is netflix, is it safe to assume they will drop all eps at once?
I don't think so, for example Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Alchemy of Souls and Little Women were all Netflix originals but only released 2 episodes per week. But Song Joong Ki's newest drama (unsure if it'll be on Netflix on the airing date) will be released 3 times a week. I think it depends on the networks though.
And I understand Kanghan in a sense. I'm in college now, but my parents have never went to college, and didn't even pass high school. My older sister, only has a high school diploma too. I went into college (and I still feel this way) with a yearning for my parents words of encouragement.
