I agree. I only made it to episode 2.

So I barely made it past episode 2. I'm not sure what happened because usually I like the hate to love relationships but I just couldn't hold out with this one. Nothing against the character but character types like Taekyung aren't very interesting to me. The way he behaves and how he interacts with people makes me yawn. Not sure if it's the acting or what, but the character was just very bland. Yes I know his character is supposed to be bland based on the synopsis, but his character being bland doesn't have to mean he's uninteresting. There are bland characters that makes you wanna know more about them and there are characters like Taekyung that just doesn't exude that response. Aside from that, I also found the editing very weird. There's so many cuts between conversations. If the goal was the show the face of the speaker every sentence then they reached it, but the result is constant cutting between every sentence as the angle changes back and forth between the characters. It's not an issue if you don't care but I care and that's just off-putting to me. It's hard to ignore when it's a pet-peeve. I'll have to drop this one. Yes I know I barely penetrated this one at 2 episodes but I genuinely don't want to drag it on knowing I have many things I do not care about. Not the premise, not the characters, therefore I'm gone. Whoosh~

"Why Tian, why did you lie to us?" Says Phupha, the man who attended her funeral and even visited her grave spot, who told his men to keep Torfun's death a secret from the villagers. I'm seething lol

Incoming rant.

The fact that Phupha thinks he has any right to be angry at Tian for keeping his own secrets. First off, Tian is not the one responsible for breaking the news about Torfun's death. Second, he's not obligated to tell his medical history.

Phupha and the foundation should've been the ones to break the news of Torfun's death to the villagers, yet they had their own selfish reasons to keep quiet. Why act like Tian is responsible for it all, when all he did was come to fulfill Torfun's wishes, and just so happens a bunch of selfish people didn't even bother telling the villagers what's up. How can Phupha act so hypocritical about it? I get that Phupha can be angry that Torfun's heart is in Tian and supposedly mistaken that Tian is the one who killed her but don't act like him keeping it a secret is a crime. Look at yourself in the mirror first buddy. I'm actually more disappointed in you for lying to the villagers and letting Tian take all the blame. If you had your own reasons then Tian had his own too.

End rant.

Overall, decent watch. There isn't much to get angry at, safe for my little rant prior, and solid pacing and acting. Although I did start skipping a little toward the end just because it became predictable, but overall, it's good.

I saw some complaints about lack of being physical and that this was "too hetero". What I have to say to those people is: of course it would be "too hetero" for you, who fetishizes gay relationships. If the characters had been between a guy and a girl, you'd be fine with it? That would be "normal" for them, but not for two males? You want them to prance around and have sex every other scene, is that how it's supposed to be a "gay" story? What defines as a "gay" and "hetero" story anyway. This was just a story about two people who fell in love and they happen to be two guys. I don't know what people expect when they see it's a gay storyline. Maybe stop assuming all gay stories is about sex and kissing. Some will and some won't, that's just the reality of it. There shouldn't be a "normal" basis for what defines as a "hetero" or "gay" story. There's more value here than that.

Yep they posted on their IG. Hope they get caught. I know that's probably a far cry from reality if they're good at hiding their tracks but i'm being hopeful.

Lol I was watching this on YouTube and only got to ep 4 part 3/4 and then suddenly almost all of the videos have been privated. I wonder what is going on

Ah minor nitpick but who did Dan's makeup? Dude looked pale as a ghost and the foundation wasn't even blended down his neck. He looked sick half the time he appeared on screen. There was ZERO color on his face, safe for his lips. His face was FLAT and had no dimension. The airport scene was especially awful. With the lighting and such made him look horrible. Whoever did his makeup needs to be FIRED.

Personally am not a fan of "husband/wife" roles in m x m relationships either. Every time they called Shuyi/Yu the "wife/laopo" during interviews I get the chills.

Probably irrelevant but cgi quality probably lol the Elsa sauna scene looked pretty bad imo. I'd prefer him just doing small tricks if the "big scene" cgi is going to look like that

By episode 8 or 9, I noticed a shift in my concentration on the show. I think the first half was good. I spent all night watching and thoroughly enjoying. But once they got together, it’s just like every other kdrama couple. I thought the “conflict” with the evil spirit would actually be a major plot but that was just a small inconvenience to Wooyeo. The second half was alright but I found myself skipping long pointless scenes. What really helped me through this wasn’t really the story by the end of it, it’s more about the character dynamic.

I genuinely love every character, except Sunwoo, and their personalities. I like how communication and honesty is a go-to response during misunderstandings. Not a lot of beating around the bush and straight to the point. This was more prevalent in the first half, which is why I enjoyed it more. I understand they needed to reduce the communication and honesty in the second half for the sake of moving the story forward, but I thought it really dulled the story down. The foundation that initially caught my attention was suddenly torn apart so it definitely ruined my concentration on the story. But they were all still likable characters so I managed to finish this.

Overall, it was decent. The plot wasn’t all that interesting but the characters definitely were.

Lol legit thought he was in his late 20s to early 30s.

Ya I didn't think the scene was supposed to be "hot" either, cuz clearly the characters were displaying that they were both hurt during all of it. I actually felt the same discomfort the characters felt while watching it. Sam even commented on the scene as well and said it wasn't supposed to be romantic. But a lot of fans took that scene and rolled with it, happy that they got some action.

Maybe cuz they're proper adults now, rather than college students. And also people like that it expanded on the other couple as well. Personally I didn't really care for the side couples, but I do find the adult work setting more compelling than the college setting. Regardless I rated both the same but those might be some reason others rated this one higher, based on what I've seen discussed.

or the fact that shide could've just texted something like "hey man, my mom was pregnant and had complications so yeah imma be busy for a bit. luv ya ^3^" ??? (before the emails got intercepted and before Shiyu got his phone confiscated. we know it was quite a while before Shiyu visited and had his meltdown. You telling me during the entire time that baby had time to grow, Shide didn't reply or attempted to contact Shuyi once???) lol and i know life can be VERY busy but it will only take 1 minute out of your routine to text something like that to your lover. to go MIA and expect things to be normal is baffling.

ah okay then. I just thought maybe the actors themselves know more than what was let on on screen. But who knows

Imo it doesn't really matter who's what. It didn't even play any significance to the plot anyway. But if you really care, based on their interaction as their characters during interviews etc, ShiDe is always the "husband" so that's your answer.

Health safety over production any day.

I'm like a month late lol but thank you so much! Especially non-Asian BLs ❤

"I already said people can post their opinions." Yes, you did. But you know what else you also did? Make these long posts to address those opinions and tell them "judge without morality". You can't really have it both ways you know. Tell someone they can have an opinion then completely try to overwrite those opinions. You expect people to react a certain way then when unsatisfied with the results, you make these long posts. Is it not basically you trying to get people to think the way you do? You don't have to answer, it's a rhetorical questions. I don't expect an answer anyway because I respect your opinions on the series (I actually think they're good analysis, so there's that), I just don't respect your activities against people viewing the series through their own perspectives.

"He also thinks a rape happened during this series. Essentially he is impossible to talk to, lol." See how you're already being dismissive of me just because I think of the situation differently? All of your posts is basically this.

But I'll stop here too. I commented what I thought and that's all that matters to me. I'm sure I'll be seeing y'all again in another drama/series comment section. Until then. Ciao~

The recent posts weren't being rude to people who like the character though, were they? Yet we see soli posting again and again addressing those said people. The recent age gap, step-bro, and rape comments have been on the story, not on y'all who defend it. Whatever y'all experienced prior to this I do not know so I won't speak for, but I don't think people should have judged y'all for liking the character.
