this drama looked intresting, but then I read the comments and I was it was split in two season? Are there more than 32 episodes then? Does this first season have a satisfying ending in his own or am i basically forced to watch also the second season to have proper closure?

It's been seven years and I still haven't come across any character who suffered more than Hwa Pyeong.

Now I'm gonna rewatch cause I miss my traumatised trio and I'm craving for some good supernatural horror 🙏🏻

Lmao, oh well, we say love is blind, isn't it 😭

I know most people won't agree with me, but about the the mailbox, I'm actually not mad the writers never explained anything.

The mailbox is not the main focus of this story, it's just a medium to show Hai Tang and Yi Xun's life, their desperate struggles to survive and find love and happiness even in the darkest moments.
I always saw the mailbox (and mostly the cat) as divine/mystical being that wanted to help, like an answer to their plea to be reunited after the (first) life they passed apart.
Everything was just so tragic that someone wanted a second chance for them and in my opinion, the cat was that: it represents the desperate wish for a choice that Hai Tang asks for at the beginning of the drama.

Do I wish they showed us more at the end, especially for their children? Yes, I do, I would have loved to see them reunited.
But I also think the mailbox should be left the mystery that it is, otherwise, it would have ruined the essence of the drama (it would be like asking to explain how the protagonists of Your Name were able to switch bodies and be connected by a bond that transcended time and space).
Sometimes there's no need to have a clear, scientific reasoning for everything.

Yeah, I'd say he's very academically gifted, but he doesn't fully grasp the scheming and the intrigues of powerful families & officials because of his background.
I hope he won't be ruined by others since he's a good man 😔

Scholar Bai may be smart, but he sure always end up entangled with the wrong people 😭

Started this without knowing anything and I was left speechless when it finally clicked that these are the same characters as Story of Yanxi Palace.
Everyone is so different, only the emperor managed to be the same heartless bastard in both adaptations 😭

Not one normal man in this drama omfg I can't stand any of them anymore 😭

did he just run him over

Also chef Anh Sung Jae going "alright, yall heard the compliments from everyone... so I can be strict" and then proceeding to point out all the dishes weakest points cracked me up lmfao I love him 💀

This choice to get rid entirely of either the black or white spoons doesn't sit right with me 😭
We have way too talented chefs in both groups, it would be honestly so dirty to eliminate them like that, I want them to be in mixed group or in solo, to make it fairer.

It's very sad, but there have been multiple incidents in which stalkers managed to break-in idols's houses, especially because most of the time staff and people close to them, sell informations to those stalkers.
It's a very know fact that most idols (if they can afford it) live in closed appartaments complex (same with politicians and very wealthy conglomerate owners) where you cannot enter unless you're authorised and some crazy stalkers still manage to get insides.
It's not easy per se, but these people are usually mad enough to try anything they can and less famous/rich idols have less security, so it can be very dangerous.

I remeber one time some stalkers managed to get inside stray kids' hotel rooms and they recorded the whole thing.

The eventuality that human emotions could be recreate and forged through enough ia model repetions is honestly quite unsettling.

Yes! But also in the other dances he did pretty well, like his movements are fluid & quick, so I was really wondering if he had some sort of previous experience.
Otherwise, I'm really impressed he managed to learn this much just for the movie. Or maybe I'm just drawn in by his magnetic presence idk I'm not a professional dancer, but he seemed good enough to me 😭

guys does ryoma have any real background dance experience by chance because damn he really knows how to move his body.

The most danmei drama I've ever watch to date: lost childhood friends that scheme against each other for revenge, fall in love and then become enemies that still can't let go of each other.

My only wish would be for this to be longer and more fleshed out, with a proper production. Still, I enjoyed it a ton and regret not watching it sooner.

Yes, I really appreciate his comments, you can hear his expertise and understand why he's judging the way he is.

He's like one of those professor you respect a lot because of their knowledge, but you're still terrified to have them testing you because they hold you to their incredible standards 😂

How many chefs did judge Anh Sung Jae passed at the first challenge this time? Three? He's so strict damn but I really respect his ethics 😭

I mean I thought they both died too until the last minute when they showed jiang hu, in his house garden, with yu yue's body on his back.
At that point, I was like, so he survived?? I thought he would have let himself die with Yu Yue, but then I realised that maybe he choosed to honor Yu Yue's wish for him to live well and brought his body back home.
So tbh I don't know what to believe about jiang hu's death, if he died too it would be almost less tragic since he won't have to live alone at least 😭

If we only look at the supernatural horror + thriller aspect, I think this may be only one thai bl ever that got it right. Good for them 👏🏻
