Arthit & his father r ridiculous, but…

Arthit & his father r ridiculous, but didn't expect to laugh & cry in the same scene. they so uniquely wholesome. think this the 1st parent & child combo, where i see a parent not just being a parent, but also being a friend & it actually works, it isn't cringe. & even though i should find Arthit's sudden, not just crush but full on infatuation as weird at the speed it developed (personally i don't feel like there was any build up - one scene he was treating Daotok like the weird kid next door, that can talk to ghosts & he begrudgingly needs his help to contact his deceased mother, to the next where he is full on in-love talking in terms of 'forever') so weird - & yet somehow it worked. maybe given Daotok's dry personality it made it more fun then serious, & i could accept the sudden change. ****************************************************************************************************anyway i am just happy that Arthit will stop being the mean d*ck he was at the start of his plot line towards Daotok -

Holy Mess

I liked this one. I watched the first half alone then the rest with my mom and I will say it's much more enjoyable when you get to yell about what's going on with someone. First off I think the highlight of this series is Heart and Li Ming. Holy christ they were the best couple and the best characters individually. It's crazy to me how they communicated so much better than every single adult relationship in the show. They were also very good as separate characters. Li Ming might be brash sometimes but for me I could always understand where he was coming from. I can only imagine how annoying it would be to try and figure yourself out while also dealing with Jim. Heart is also a pretty good character. To me he's not as fleshed out which makes sense, but he was still a good understandable character. Now when we get to the adults... that's where the mess comes up. First, Jim, there's a lot to say about Jim. The more I got into the series the more I understood him. Like I fully understand how all of the events we are shown in the series affect his opinions when it comes to relationships, work life, and how he parents Li Ming. Just cause I understand it though doesn't mean I have to like it though lol. I don't know I understood him and couldn't really stay truly mad at him but my lord, I did get tired with him a lot. Just from my perspective I feel like he should be single, or should have at least worked on himself a bit more. Next, Wen, I can't really form an opinion on Wen. I see myself in a bit of him as a fellow old man liker who would fall for a repressed older man. But my god the lengths he goes to for Jim. I also think that he was a bit too willy nilly when it came to putting boundaries up with Alan. It was kind of like he expects things to happen for him without him actually having to do anything. Overall he's just kind of needy and meh but can give pretty good advice from time to time. Now, Alan, that man is a fucking demon. Holy shit I thought he was there for most of the series but I realized he wasn't really after watching his introduction for the second time. Almost every second of Alan's screentime was torture. He was so crazy and seemed like he could've committed legitimate harm for most of the series. Finally, Gaipa, I really liked Gaipa. For most of the series they basically just tortured him. It was seriously crazy the shit they put him through. Other than that and even through that he was a likable character. The other characters like Leng, Praew, Gong, and Ms.Hong were all very likable. I also liked how throughout the series true lgbtq issues were touched upon. I'm not sure if the writer of this show is gay but I would absolutely not be surprised if they were. Issues such as lgbtq marriage and how non married lgbtq people face very difficult issues, people thinking being gay will somehow rub off on other family members, deaf issues, ect were all touched on in a very likable manner for me.Overall this series was pretty good and I really enjoy that they touched on serious issues that lgbtq people face, I wish more BL's covered topics like this

Romeo and Juliet

From the start, the story was already confusing. Why Shiyi's father had to die and all that was unclear to me. All the clan relations and who was who and did what to who were also very confusing because there was no reenactment of the past but only mentioned in passing. Couldn't quite grasp the antagonism they had with each other. Also, I didn't quite understand why Shiyi had to be mentored by Zhousheng when he wasn't really teaching her anything. And a master who goes away for 19 months teaches what? So they grew close to each other when they were that long apart? That was ridiculous. So I could've ignored all that and continued watching, but with all the comments saying it's a sad ending, it doesn't seem worth the time so I skipped to the last episode and indeed it's a sad ending! It's rare that the second lead/villain succeeds in killing the male lead 😱 After all, it is the main lead's show to begin with! Sadly, it's a Romeo and Juliet type of ending, which isn't my cup of tea 😢

BRO HER SUBSCRIPTION ENDED RIGHT BEFORE SHE COULD KISS EUNHO so after a month of waiting she finally pays the subscription only to get the “basic” plan that didn’t let her pick her dates and so she did like bare random ones LIKE SOME TERRORIST FLIRTED WITH HER WHILST SHE WAS A PLANE ATTENDANT UNTIL HE PULLED OUT A GUN AND MIRAE WAS SAVED BY AN NIS AGENT (Korean equivalent of fbi) Mirae got hooked on a blind date at dayeong’s housewarming party since she’s trying to rekindle her romantic life and not be so virtually-absorbed but the blind date didn’t work out since the guy was polite but WAY too fast-paced like he literally wanted to see her again the same week, like gosh calm down you just met. AND THEN YUNSONG UPPLOADED A WEBTOON WITH A TYPO AND YUNSONG AND MIRAE GOT SM HATE. BUT GUESS WHAT? SHE GOT HOME AFTER WORK ONCE AFTER THE WHOLE TYPO THING AND SHE GOT SUPRISED ON BF ON DEMAND WITH A PART 2 CONTINUATION DATE WITH EUNHO AND ITS SET AFTER 10 YEARS LIKE AYAYAYAY.

Fei is found and justice served

This episode had a lot of action but I found myself fast forwarding through a lot of the assailant’s chase. I liked that Fei hid well and came to the rescue of her friend. It was a nice leap from Qin and Shen to escape the fire. It was also nice to see his dad with him in hospital. As funny as Qin was sneaking snacks, it is surprising there wasn’t a visit or gift for Shen as a thank you and get better soon gesture. Another surprise is that Qin could cook even a little bit. 😂 Shen’s friend deserved the wallop for sneaking up on him after all he’s been through. The friends on both sides are all focused on romance, and while that is what everybody wants to see, I would have preferred to see the girls reunited with their families. After stretching things out so long they shifted to main couple rather than let use see a happy ending. Tong’s mother has reason to feel guilt, but for Lian to stay silent and not express remorse for his part in dropping her off in dark alley, fell flat for me. I find him more guilty than the mom since he agreed to pick her up and get her home safely. It turned into a let bygones be bygones conversation, but not seeing the girls in the aftermath of the incident also fell very flat. Tong was very misguided in her actions, but they could have shown her the proof of his innocence and let her know the red mark was an important clue to find the real culprit. Also, what happened to her two bodyguards? They could have had a kid network for food etc. It went from let’s drag this angst out to pushing the girls out of the way to make way for possible romance. 😝 This was the most personal case they have had and they did not let us see the resolution from the girl’s perspectives. We did at least get to see the adult she ‘trusted most’ handcuffed, but it would also have been nice to see the step dad rescued from the trunk.😝For the judge’s wife that needs to have a mastectomy, I am not happy with the doctor he chose that is now seeking favors in court. He needs to have Shen’s mom be her doctor. With this, he should have always respected his wife’s opinion first, rather than going for quicker and cheaper. He is now seeing the results of his favored choice.😝🙄Shen moved up Ding’s court case for Qin and a video conference call has started. Qin finds her client’s answers cagey and asks about the burn from their last visit. The episode ends with Qin stating she doesn’t believe it’s her client.
