Oh god if you think he was a green life you gonna have a real tough life. This is not a green light. No one can be manipulated into abusive and aggressive behavior, he was abusive and aggressive and JM used that to his advantage. But Jae Min did not make him the way he was. He was growing up in abusive household and what he needs is years of serious therapy, not a relationship 🤣 Someone who forced themselves on you sexually assaulting you CANNOT BE A GREEN LIGHT no matter the external circumstances.

First thing first - King is so fucking annoying. First half of episode 2 I was kind of hoping this will be like a redemption story for him and with the investigation they will fixed the partnership between him and Singha. But nope, bitch did not learn anything, has no regrets about the past mistakes and currently want to make the same mistakes again 🤡 fuck him very much.

I like the supernatural, i like the horror, I even like the investigation (King is a dumb bitch, but that's realistic - obedient dumb bitches often have high ranks). But daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn they are committed to bring all and every fucking cliche supernatural YA romance line between the leads there is and I'm laughing my ass off.

"Do I need to carry you?", "are you the wife?", "will you change, or do I need to change it for you" like damn there is more 🤣🤣🤣🤣

anyway, I'm excited for next episode.
Also that poster is so bad... like the drama has good quality and great visuals, why the poster so cheap looking? 🤡

I will start with 3 important "hopes" I have, that will not happen.
1. MAKE IT POLY.
2. Keep her psycho - she does not need character development.
3. Make her plan work.

Damn I liked episode 1 so much 😭
Kim You Jung is acing the role. This baby face can be so fucking scary 🔥

For real tho about the poly... the ending of the episode - scene in the classroom. Make them poly and trio in crime. Make them stay "bad" and keep winning 🤣

I mean they literally started by saying she has antisocial personality disorder - YOU CANNOT CURE THAT 😅 Keep her as she is till the end pretty please, she is so much fun to watch 🔥🙂🔪🔥

but I also hope she stops saying those things like, yes, we get it too. < the issue is, Woo Jin acts like he does not get it 🤡

So now 9 episodes is my thoughts are all over the place.

Baek hyeon x Hyun ji need to get their sht together and stop preteing like they don't have feelings for each other. That's the core issue. They both act now like they want to find someone new, but also get mad when the other does the same. Just get back together so we can all move on 😂

Yu sik x Min kyung is probably far more annoying. Hyun Ji is getting annoyed because she has feelings for BH, but Min Kyung is annoyed simply coz she does not want YS to be happy and move on. This is probably the couple I want THE LEAST to get back together. I see now love here, just unresolved regret.

Won gyu x Ji Hyun - also feels like zero chance of getting back together. I don't even think he is interested. He just feels bad after listening to that phone call and how she said she did not feel loved. So he wants to go on a date to talk about old times and how much he is fact did love her. That would be my prediction.

Woo-jin x Ji-yeon - baby boy, move on. That's it.

No exes of Jae-hyung and Yun-nyeong - but I also want to see these two on a date. I have a feeling they would vibe so well!

Other pairings I enjoy:
I liked the date between Min kyung and Woo jin. I honestly feel like Min Kyung acts "fake nice" out of politeness. But I feel like she was far more natural both facial expressions and even tone of voice during that meal time with Woo Jin. She is obviously worried the long relationship she had with YS would be an issue for most people, soe WJ saying 10 would be fine made her see him in a different light and see some potential. He was also more relaxed and talkative with her compared to other ladies.

Yoo Sik and Ji Hyun is a pairing I liked from the start and I'm still on that ship.

LOVED BH and YN, but with all that happened in episode 9 I am not so sure anymore. He still has such a strong feelings for his ex I'm not really sure he is ready to move on. But I do like how she seems to understand him well and how kind of "airheaded" he is 😅

THE DROWNING SCENE WAS SO GOOD! 🔥
But yeah ML's performance was so weak he made me not care for the main romance 🥲

So sorry for late reply, been busy time at work for me 😭

His performance was very monotonous < I think this is a really spot on way to describe it. There were really no emotional high and lows... it was all one note.

I noticed some cinematography, but I also really dive in reading a lot of people's opinions and throughs - I was so curious how everyone perceived the drama.

Jae Min was for sure the most "Evil". As I wrote in my characters' analysis in the comments below the review I think Jaemin was "born evil" and Suhyeon was "made evil" and one can get better since the same way external factors shaped him in the wrong way, he can now start improving, the other is kind of... lost cause...

I mean... is this even vampire love story if it does not have neck bite? 🤣
the mediocre help me appreciate the better stuff, I convince myself). > that's a healthy mindset 🔥 Honestly watching only "good" stuff is exhausting lol

I honestly would prefer the second couple to be just in this timeline... I don't think we needed them being reincarnated lovers too.

The length of the episode was a joke. For me the show show should have either eps 60 minutes long, or less episodes if they are determined to make some of them movie long 🤡

I was laughing the whole last episode it was so ridiculous. When the monk stepped out of the protected circle around the house I paused and literally talked to the screen: nah... it can;t be. They didn't... he can;t be. No fucking way he is her son 😂

I rather they did not introduced him at all. One of my biggest complaint was the fact they never showed Ramphueng looking for the soul of her son... tho everything she did she did out of the feel of loss of her child.And yet... she never tried to look for him?REALLY. How does it make sense? I know there is this whole idea that you need to be somehow bound to the soul to easily follow it in the living world (like she did to ML, or the ML's bro did it with ML), but I just do not understand why she would not even try...

the thing that bothers me is, if it's a karma between them and it just had to happen coz destiny, she should not be punished for it now. Coz... it had to happen. It's either predestined and had to happen, so everyone is kind of a victim, or it did not have to happen and he is a dick for now trying to stop it earlier 😅

his character goes through so many emotional highs and lows, so much internal torment and that requires real depth and range. < this.and he gave us none of that...

Wished the villain got better ending. Coz now she has to face her karma, but... people who hurt her only faced their karma because she brought it onto them. not quite fair 🤡

Production wise it was really good. I wish they put as much effort into styling, cultural details etc also into casting. I think that's the biggest issue Thai BL industry faces right now - they don't really take casting that seriously....

Japan took the food drama to another level. < honestly no one gives more visually stunning food shots than Japan.

They were all in their mid 30 up to 40... but their behavior was closer to early 20 🤣 I feel like Takada Hiroshi was the only one who kind of acted his age 🤡 Also bless him tbh 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Due to time constraints, therapy heals you at a super speed. < honestly... were they even healed with therapy? For me at the end of the day they still go better all thanks to the power of love 🤣 the show would be so much better if Irene was not in fact mental health professional, coz her being one brought close to nothing to the table 😅

you cannot get a chemistry when one person cannot act lol honestly the romance was so one sided for me 😭

Well... well well well...
I loved it at first, and now I am amazed how much impact can questionable acting have on overall quality of a show. Namping why Why you don't use them muscles on your face much? 😭😭😭😭

I don't even want to talk about the conclusion coz that was a fucking joke. Cannot believe what I have seen in ep 12 🤡

Still, there is quite a lot to love.
🔥culture being an integral aspect of the story, not just decoration
🔥Master being a whole damn fucking meal
🔥acting from Green and FirstOne
🔥variety of loveable characters, even the ones I was scared at first would be annoying as fuck (some ended up as my favorites)
🔥special effects and styling
🔥proper and detailed backstory for the villain
🔥some rather great emotional takes (none from Namping tho 🤡)

Also, that one emotional scene between Chan and Jet in one of the last episodes (I am sure you know which one I am talking about) was FUCKING AMAZING.

Oh god the audition scene was so good! The way both of them analyzed and understood the character is a completely different way.

Shirasaki Yuki interpretation gave me a character that thought to be "blameless" and thinking he was forced by external circumstances to do what he did. No confidence. Thinking of himself as a victim. He killed because he felt like he cannot achieve it on his own.

Hayama Asami gave me more cold and calculative. Confident in his scheme, angry when they are revealed. He is not a victim, he is a perpetrator and he knows it. He killed not because he did not think he can achieve it, but because he thought he deserves it more than the person who had it. A weird sense of something being stolen from him.

Funny how director thinks Hayama Asami was great, but I actually liked Shirasaki Yuki's interpretation more. Characters like that often spiral in the most interesting way possible.
