am glad this is twice a week cause it's…

am glad this is twice a week cause it's kinda addictive, but on the other hand that also means this gonna get over in a flash ugh (in-spite of this being 20 eps). have to say Itt is starting to worry me, he is obsessed with Ing. was sure he ended up in bed (in the previous ep) cause the guy smoking, add the red hair in the dark he could fantasize it was Ing... guess he just got blind drunk. still whatever is going on in his head regarding Ing, isn't healthy & Ing would do better to put distance between him & his family. ironic as in the previous eps i was very critical of how he was treating Itt, but now i am a bit worried how Itt's obsession could manifest. ***********************************************************************************************************************Ing, in-spite of his behavior is a very likeable & funny character - so hard to hate him. & he is totally hooked on Yok, cause after what Yok did (which was grape!) i don't think u can just brush that aside, cause u r attracted to someone & getting him under u wont 'even out the scales'... heck they until this ep were just one upping each other & that sexual war was whack on so many levels. idk if what Ing feels for Yok is love (yet) but i am sure what Yok feels for Ing is just sexual attraction. he got a tastes & as Ing is always in his face, he can't help but get tempted. wont lie, their scenes r smokin hot, with a side of flaming toxicity lol - but i am so here for it - as i guessed in the 1st ep, this gonna be hella toxic but also so much fun!

A good start

Having already watched the original series, I can't help being curious at the Japanese adaptation of the Extraordinary Attorney. Casting-wise, I have to say they're pretty good... not just due to some of the close resemblance, but also because of how closely they act like the original. Comparison with the original K-drama would be inevitable, but so far, Minami-chan do have her own personality. Like Woo Youngwoo, Minami-chan also has her own autistic traits that may pose a difficulty in her line of work. Even then, Mana is not Park Eunbin and vice versa, and neither would completely portray the same character in the same way, and that's fine. And I like the fact that some of Minami-chan's autistic traits were displayed slightly differently than Woo Youngwoo's, since not all autistic people on Youngwoo/Minami's spectrum behave the same way.That said, having watched the original, obviously one can't help noticing some of the changes that have been made in the Japanese adaptation. There's the part about Youngwoo's kimbap was changed into Minami's onigiri, and then the rotating doors were changed to an escalator. But to be fair, those changes do make sense. Aside from the reasons why rotating doors were rare in Japan, some autistic people do find it hard to use escalators due to the movement. Some people may argue that Mana may be exaggerating her acting too much to match Eunbin's performance, but personally, I felt that Mana was doing fine. Cos yes, not all Savant-like autistic people have to have the same exact behaviour patterns.So far, the first episode looks promising. I can't wait to revisit the series again, this time, with a Japanese flavour.
