Idk if it’s just me but how did this episode go from total chaos at the wedding, Pai finding out the truth, and getting disowned by his family all in one night… to them casually living together by the end?? 😭

And North not even being mad at Tim like I expected?? That part really threw me off.

Also, it feels like the story is downplaying Pai’s pain. He literally loves Tim so much, so it makes zero sense for Tim to just act normal like nothing happened… kissing his cheek and everything like hello?? what are you doing 😭

I’m actually annoyed they’re trying to push cute moments right now. If anything, Pai should’ve taken time away from Tim to process everything and figure out his feelings first.

EP 7 Review:

it’s such a WTF movie and sooo long too 😔 like… it kinda feels like something Yorgos would do, but honestly it doesn’t hit that level at all. you can tell they’re trying really hard to copy that style and it shows.

also why are there so many NC scenes 😭 and the message?? i’m confused because it feels like they’re trying to say too many things at once. i legit got bored, paused halfway, and only continued it the next week lol.

personally, i feel like it would’ve been way better if they just leaned into a Thai style instead of trying to copy western vibes. would’ve felt more natural tbh.

This show is a prequel to the last season, where we get to learn about the characters’ past lives. The comedy is pure gold, and you should expect to cry just like in the first season. Even though the movie is quite long, I didn’t get bored at all. It’s a solid prequel with a satisfying ending. Both actors did a great job, especially Bow, and their chemistry is really good too. Highly recommended!

it wasn’t as sad as i thought it would be (at least i didn’t cry). i never watched the og so i can’t tell if this remake is good or bad. but as someone who never really understood why it’s so hard for people to move on from their exes… i kinda get it now. especially with a couple like this, who shared both happiness and struggles and tried to make the relationship work even when it was hard. it’s so sad realizing you’re better off apart even though you still love them.

when "fake it till you make it" has been made into a series:

i really hope this is the last time Poon gets the empty-headed/silly role 😭 he can actually act but they keep giving him the same type of character 🥲 (this is the fourth series i watch he's in)

on the other hand, I LOVE how Ohm finally breaks out of his usual serious/quiet roles. this big puppy energy suits him so much?? it's super refreshing to watch

now I really want to try reading the novel 😆 thank you so much for the explanation and all the details!

what's the differences between the novel and it's live action

I love how they explore this theme without making it depressing, and instead bring us into this cute slice of life. I genuinely admire Yahiro as Gaku because how can he be that good at acting at such a young age 🥹 He feels so natural. The brother complex trope is common in manga and anime, so seeing it in live action feels like something. Not exactly good or bad, just… interesting in its own way. If you think of it as an exaggerated version of brotherly love, it doesn’t come off as that weird. I enjoyed this a lot and really hope they make a season 2.

the best bl romcom like EVER!!

this drama was kinda depressing at first but it’s getting better now that kano’s changed. still feels a bit rushed tho. anyway the last ep was so hot 🔥

The director keeps his style from Nobody Knows, but this one feels more polished and actually has a solid plot. Both movies capture realism, but while Nobody Knows is almost like a documentary, Shoplifters feels like a real story you get pulled into. It’s heartbreaking and really makes you question your own sense of right and wrong.

don't understand the rating at all lol. this series is really good

honestly, it’s a pretty decent attempt at turning a game into a movie. the story mostly sticks to the passage and there’s not much plot, so it ends up feeling more symbolic than anything. there’s some suspense and horror, but the time loop gets kinda repetitive and tiring...just like playing the game. still, i think they did a solid job trying

a bittersweet story, and their friendship is something to die for :(( i cried so much at the end when kakeru was saved, just like noho did. damn, i really felt her in that moment… her acting was so good

the only complaint i have is i wish it were more psycho and that an yun su was the real killer, because it would’ve made the ending unforgettable.

if you’re looking for a good thriller with lots of plot twists, this series is for you. the plot keeps you on edge and makes you want to start the next ep right away.

i dont deny that our past shapes who we are now. everyone has their own unlucky or bad moments in life. but ah jin really plays the victim a lot, even guilt tripping junseo since they were kids. the only time i actually agreed with her was when she killed her dad because he hurt her too, so that felt fair in its own way.

but what she did to innocent people like her boss and in gang is where i completely check out. i get that shes a sociopath and the show lets us see how her mind works, but understanding a character and rooting for them are two different things. she ended up doing the same kind of harm her dad did to her, hurting people who werent even at fault.

i honestly didn’t expect to cry at the final ep 😭 thank god i ended up watching this even if i’m a year late lol. everything was just so good… the story, the comedy, the characters, even the effects. maybe it’s just me but taynew nailed that bromance vibe fr. such a solid series from gmmtv.
