I am loving this! I remember liking Only Boo a lot and this is just so brilliant. Four episodes in and I don't want to stop. I usually hate sound effects in Thai BLs but I am enjoying this so much I really do not mind them at all.... I don't analyse kisses either but it struck me, the end of ep 4, the kisses between "young" and "older" couple are different showing how much they changed in 10 years. nice touch! But from episode 7/8 things are starting to get draggy with the overuse of "noble idiocy" trope, "I'm not telling you for your own good!" which is the stupidest thing ever.... The ending?
Horrible, generic music! Unwatchable! I've started it 4 or 5 times already but the music accompanying the opening make out scene is just so awful! That is the score we've already heard in every low budget korean series! I guess that SUKFilms do not have the money in their restrained budget for a better score.
Bevause this is the new Love Alarm Max Pro. And I wish I was kidding. This drama promissed so much and gave us…
So you are all angry and saying it here? The producers do not care about you review bombing the drama here! You realize the reviews are all going to be deleted in 24h and the ratings won't change? It is just a drama! Not real life! Get a grip!
It is not how big is the budget, it is how creative you are. This short drama, now in correct format, is the proof. I need more of them. I was blown away by this couple in the vertical drama but now...100 times better! It is not perfect, far from it but definitely better than the majority of KBLs.
Why is everything so grey? The music is great though!
And they are cousins?
And why is it that the ML is so drunk he cannot walk straight but is sober enough to change the wound dressing? A bit of consistency would be nice....
Finally, I am dropping this after 2 episodes. I love this kind of highly toxic relationships in japanese bls but here it is just so very cringy and extremely wrong! Rich man/poor man controlling dynamics...
Surprisingly I loved it. I almost dropped it after 20 min. Thee being OTT was a bit too much for me. Eventually, I found it funny. And the singing and dancing, musical number was brilliant! On the other hand, there is something I could never find between Pond and Phuwin: chemistry!
Aww, that honestly made me smile 🥹. Thank you so much!!Thee's OTT energy can be... a lot. He's definitely an…
Oh yes! I am loving it. Thee is still making me cringe a little bit (just like every mafia story out there) but he is so adorable in his cluelessness about real people's lives that he's irresistible. And Phuwin has grown so much as an actor and as aperson! I am now off to watch episode 5. And I'll probably finish it today! Thank you again for the great review: otherwise I would have missed a true gem!
ikr? I was expecting some romcom not some deeply emotional crying feast. I won't watch these with my significant…
Right? Why do people (like the writer of this article!) assume that if you are single you are obviously sad and want to cry? The writer has not said another word since the comment above: the backlash this article is getting is rather fun to watch!
I was about to drop this halfway through the first episode and then I glanced at your review and realized I was taking this too seriously: I had trouble dealing with Thee's OTT behaviour! I'll give it another go.🥰 BTW, beautifully written review! Well done! Seems professional....
I am so cringing inside now and I've seen only 5min of the first episode. Talk about a dramatic encounter? Has not happened yet. But the dramatic introduction of Thee? A huge room, a big shallow pool and a bathtub in the centre of it with two servants (valets? butlers?) standing in the water, while Thee, sitting in the bath, is scowling threateningly/seriously/constipatedly (choose the right answer) and we are privy to his glistening muscular body with a dragon/wolf (what else?) tattoo. We are not supposed to take it seriously, right?🤣🤣🤣

No, no, no and NO! Maybe you do but most people don't. Life is hard enough as it is so we all need something fun and fluffy and happy to make us feel better not worse about ourselves. Unless you are going for the "some people are worse off than I am so there is that!" angle? Whichever it is, this is not a good valentine's day article! Most of those dramas/films are very good but are definitely not what you'd expect to watch on Valentine's day. Or you should have been more precise in your title adding "for singles who want to cry"!
On the other hand, if everyone is treating everything positively, without criticism, without pointing the defaults…
(spoilered for length) That's what criticism is like in the 21st century, my friend! I read what you wrote all right. Yours is the kind of a comment I see often here. "If you don't like the show, don't put it down, don't denigrate it just don't watch it!" I am all for being kind, nice and polite, even when the others are not. When people criticize shows, in their inept, uneducated and rude manner, it is still criticism. The real critics these days are a few and far between, our attention span is worse than the goldfish's (think Dory in Finding Nemo!lol), we speak in short meaningless soundbites. Even on this site, just glance through the reviews of any show especially a popular one: see how many reviews are one sentence or a bunch of emojis. So they say "this show sucks", and when this kind of comment is frequent, even without any depth or argument, it is an indication for the producers to maybe rethink the way they are making these shows. There is this saying which goes something like this: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything". And while it is a laudable emotion, it is not really good for anyone. People need to use their common sense and think before speaking but say things that need to be said, they must. I think.
