No way out

Dr Luo gets bad news and after the nurse turns him down he call Yan Ling. I am wondering if he got the exact type of cake from her WeChat moments. It served as a trigger for her own grief. Now they seem to share bittersweet moments of their dead fathers. Hers was a loving dad and his became more and more abusive when a health issue kept him from returning to the city. He visits his mother and still resents their poverty. Yan Ling is passed over for promotion because she rescued her student. They are more than willing to let the best teacher have a fault denying her consideration. Her mother is like an incessant drip of poison. She won’t let you live or die. She sucks optimism and kindness out of you. It is most likely she turned her resentment to Yan Ling when she lost her husband. Yan Ling is willing to take the blame for anything she feels even remotely responsible for. It is really working against her currently. The abused wife has turned to her for support and Yan Ling takes it on because she reminds her of her best friend. After seeing the tattoo and hearing her story she is even more determined to find justice for her. The only good thing about Dr Luo this episode is his call interrupted the mother’s lament and fault finding. He is a lesser poison than she is. Dr Luo is finding a better urn for his father’s ashes. He and his mother can’t feel sorry that he’s dead but they can’t be at peace about it either. It is clear the women in his life tried to help him as best they could, but for whatever warped reason he wants to add to women’s trauma rather than help. The sadistic manipulation of people and circumstances are surreal in how easily accomplished with no backlash or punishment. The actors do an excellent job making you feel their characters’ situations. It is tense and oppressive.

Their best EP thus far.

Man, I enjoyed this episode so much! It's a balance of comedy and drama. I love how the viewers are now getting to know who Klao is and why Nakhun is there. Also, I love how we get to see how down bad Phop is when it comes to Klao. We also get to see a glimpse of Phop's playful side (the river scene) as in the novel, he loves teasing Klao. The acting, as usual, is good. I love the scene in the temple where Phop and Klao had an argument; their acting is so good. Net shows how protective Phop is of Klao and JJ shows how frustrated Nakhun is. My heart is so happy seeing NetJJ taking good care of my PhopKlao/Nakhun. 🥹I'll rate this ep 10/10. I can't wait for the next episode!

Looks like Babe need to learn a new word in…

Looks like Babe need to learn a new word in his dictionary which is "sorry". Definitey Charlie and Babe should sit and talk completely honestly with each other so that both of them can fully understand reasons and motivations of the other one. Hopefully they will be something more between Sonic and North, they are teasin us since 1 season and for how long?Charlie proved that if he wants and is pushed to he can actually be very good, but agree with one with Willy, Charlie should not hold back especially when it comes to Willy.Should I act surprised to that info about Willy? Like, hello, that was so obvious. I am only waiting for another person to show up.Now...what will Charlie choose?

After a year, gicheol still hasn’t become the owner of the nightclub like sergeant jang had promised and sergeant jang’s minions had started mocking him, which led to gicheol asking sergeant jang if he could fund a drug trafficking operation to get some more money but sergeant jang refuses stating that he wouldn’t stoop so low and slaps gicheol with a tub since he was at a sauna. This pisses of gicheol and since gicheol and his friends had enough of being mistreated AND GICHEOL FELT BAD TO SEE HOW HIS FRIENDS WERE GETING TREATED so they planned to get revenge by hiring a knife wielder and tricking sergeant jang and his men to come for a “team outing” to a hotel on the mountains, where gicheol and his men start attacking sergeant jang’s men and they win, but AFTER sergeant jang STABS AND KILLS GICHEOL’S BEST FRIEND.

Crowned By Chemistry But Ruled By The Tension

Perfect Crown already feels like one of those dramas people will either obsess over or complain about every week, but still never stop watching. The whole modern monarchy and chaebol marriage contract plot sounds dramatic in the best way possible and honestly, IU and Byeon Woo Seok already look too good together for this drama to fail completely.IU looks perfect as Seong Hui Ju because she has that cold but emotional vibe that makes you want to understand her more. She feels like someone who has everything except the one thing she really wants. Byeon Woo Seok as Prince I-an looks soft, lonely and kind of trapped in his own life, which is exactly the type of character he does best. Their chemistry already feels strong from the teasers alone and the tension between them looks like it will carry the whole drama.The story itself gives old-school royal romance vibes, kind of like modern royalty dramas mixed with chaebol family fights, power struggles and contract marriage chaos. It feels like the type of drama that will have pretty visuals, emotional scenes, jealous second leads and those moments where you know they are in love before they admit it.I feel like Perfect Crown could become one of the biggest romance dramas of this year if the writing stays strong. Even people who were unsure after the trailer are still curious because the cast and storyline are too interesting to ignore. It already has that “everyone will be talking about it after every episode” energy. �
