I didn't understand the emphasis on five lives in the title.

nope. none of the main characters had backbone. It was only at the last episode that the women each grew one. Vegas was as hollow as ever.

I feel like I've seen this plot in a straight romance. I'm not saying that I was expecting otherworldly main plot for enemies to lovers trope but I wasn't expecting a copy-paste either. Maybe I'm more annoyed cause I was expecting a simple story as well to binge once its completed.

Just subscribed. I didn't understand. Talk about Thai PBS dramas? If yes, I'll make sure to share my thoughts on this drama there.

Oh my god! Thank you so much man! I've been wanting to see Peak in another drama.

I wasn't aware there was also an app. Let me check. I was mainly trying to watch through their site. Thank you for informing. I wasn't aware of this. I will be taking part in letting them know of the issue.

It's good but feels too superficial. I checked the webtoon and its color palette alone reflects the depth and gravity of the matter whereas this is too colorful to take it as seriously. I think it either failed or just deliberately chose to adapt the webtoon on surface-level. It would've been more good if they chose to adapt the webtoon as it is.

That umbrella scene gave him the butterflies usually reserved for a heroine.

Divorce was not easy. He eroded her worth then weaponized their housing costs to chain her the moment she tried to leave. She embezzled for a stranger just to manufacture a sense of purpose. The affair was a fleeting bonus that gave her warmth in a frozen life. She saw the risks but missed the irony. In her rush to save a dying flower, she drowned it.

kdrama loves to romanticize toxicity that's why I am not fond of them anymore

As his friend said he's not special. He's a pretentious bih who got high with tasting luxury funded by a sugar mommy so I'm sure his make-believe success would be short-lived.

I understand but k-drama world building has become so predictable that I think it was certainly not enough to atleast keep me engaged at first glance.

I think you're right. I don't wanna understand it. Any capable storyteller can deliver the same thing in short amount of time with the same impact. What I don't understand is why did it take 40 whole minutes to spend on something which could be wrapped up in even 5 mins in good hands. This makes me feel like it was more of a filler than a plot point with a purpose.

yep. a disappointing start for me but who knows could be a great end.

happy for you. I don't think I'll be tired of them. I was waiting for this patiently to see the dynamic between three leads. I think that's why I'm more annoyed of this delay. I was expecting to dive straight into the lives of three leads. Longer and delayed introductions are off-putting for me. I like it more when the layers of what shaped the character into what it is are unveiled part by part as the story goes on. And, I have no idea why but I thought this drama was going to excel in that. Alas.

Now this makes sense but I'm still not sold on this. The fl is going to end up with one guy at the end anyways so why not apply the lawyer plot arc to one of the ml's.

I understand. Still they could try to write the same route for one of the ml. It could've been more engaging than this. First look at this and I'm constantly wondering when are the ml's gonna show up? If it was one ml then I could wait but there are two of them. Atleast one could've been introduced properly in first 40 mins to engage audience.

couldn't they deliver the same msg with one of the ml's? It would be ok if they wrapped it up in 5-15 mins max but I've watched 40 mins and the ml's are nowhere to be seen.

I didn't understand the purpose of the lawyer love interest in the first ep at all. It was totally unnecessary. We already have two ml's. It isn't like that you're creating a reverse harem that you have to introduce a third guy. We all know he would only be here for one ep to break fl heart. His entire existence is so irrelevant and a big turn-off. It would've catch my attention more if the actual ml's were introduced in first ep instead of wasting time with a lost cause.

new year, new noona romance to look forward to. It isn't attracting me in the slightest but this time I'm gonna commit to one till the end. Good luck to me!
