Not what we were promised

I really wanted to like this series. I was so excited and I waited so long for it to finally air. But it’s awful and now I’m sad. I’ll start by saying that I LOVE Boat and Oat. I love their energy as individuals, I love their chemistry together. I can’t help but smile any time I see them. And that makes this show even more of a disappointment. The writers and directors failed them horribly.
First of all, the plot just got lost somewhere. One entire episode was them preparing for a meeting and driving to it. That’s it, that’s all that happened. There’s something vaguely resembling a story line, but someone forgot to finish it.
The series has a few amazing actors, but they don’t have anything to work with. There is also some terrible acting. I’m not sure if this is the fault of the actors or if it’s the directing. The housekeeper is incompetent and keeps screeching. The father is one dimensional. The brothers show some promise but the directors never let it fully happen. I was looking forward to the steamy romance scenes (because I KNOW Boat and Oat can deliver). But they were cut short and made awkward. Scenes with other characters were similar. The creators relied too heavily on the pheromone display instead of letting the actors do their thing.
And so, I tried. I watched for as long as I could, just to see my favorite actors. 9 episodes is all I could take. I hope their next project provides a story that is more deserving of these talented young men. And I hope it happens soon. I hate to rate their show so poorly, but someone needs to hold the writers and directors accountable for this mess.

Maybe try another type of adhesive?

This is NOT a love story, people! I... can't even... Wow, I can't believe they pegged this as a romcom. It’s definitely not a drama that stuck to me, personally; they need something stronger to glue in the romance. I was totally unprepared for the crime thriller situation since the Netflix description made it seem like a romcom (“Can this sticky situation turn into real love?”). One of my pet peeves is when a story is portrayed differently than advertised. The episodes switched abruptly between cheesy romance and thriller scenes. It would have been better had they stuck to the action/thriller/drama genres, since those seemed more believable. Sure, you can throw in some romance but don't sell it as the main part of the show! 🤦🏻‍♀️ A better title would have been, “Our Sticky Identities.”

The early episodes kind of dragged on. At first, I was confused by the stark difference between the leads in the present (one like a runaway bull and the other like a dry piece of toast) and their more genuine past selves but the story soon explained itself. However, I feel it was a somewhat sloppy way of tying in past and present characters. And who knows what possessed the filmmakers to think that the female lead nearly killing herself after purposely banging her head hard on a wall, or exposing nearly most of her body in public, was funny? Her obsessing over her body was such a huge waste of storyline, which could have been a great opportunity to set up more character backstories in the beginning.

Perhaps I wouldn't be as annoyed about this show had they not thrown in some crazy thriller stuff. I just wanted romcom and totally regretted starting this genre-confused show. At least there were no long intros for each episode. 😅 And Heo Sung-Tae was so good as the villain, had me hiding even though I'm not inside the movie. 😱😱😱 I ended up deciding to pause/drop the show and seek a more genuine romcom. So please let me know how it goes. Lol

Ads: The Face Shop, Fujifilm, Espoir cosmetics, Samsung phone...

The sappy soundtrack is standard but doesn't match with the thriller theme.


Side Notes or Random Thoughts
Ep1: My blood was already boiling when it looked like a bunch of dudes beat up on one woman.

Hospital scene: Wow, that doctor is so not helpful, like we’ve run out of ideas so…you’re basically screwed. How is her monologue about her situation and body supposed to be funny? That’s lasting way too many minutes.

Stakeout/mob scene: Why does it look like she's fake running? 😂

Ep2: Why didn't he do his hair the same as before when he visited his old boss? At least try to look like you're the same person... That change is just easier for them to spot him when he's hiding in the village!

Ep3: Is that a real cat? Or AI? 😮😹

Throwing your new phone in the air? Smart. I bet the sponsors were cringing. Lol

How did it take all day (sun literally set) for her to run to the boxing gym? I thought it was a small town or village.

One misnomer that kind of bothers me is when Korean dramas don’t differentiate the meaning between thugs (who do random crime) and gangsters/mobsters (who do organized crime). Just seems like dialogue is thrown around however.

Ep4: How the heck is he gonna find her in Seoul? 😱

I like how they skewed the background of the alleyway like a painting while she was sitting and moping on the steps.

Ep6: Wow, An Gi-Jin is so clueless about love 😂😂😂

Ep7: Why is Jang Tae-Ha driving like a maniac for no reason?  😂😂😂

Woah, that's quite a fence you jumped there. 😮

Doh! The almost kiss to drunken faint. Should've seen it coming. Happens all the time and I fell for it this time. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Ep8: Warehouse scene in which all Jung Tae-Ha's guys are captured and beat up: This is getting so scary for me. I don't want to watch anymore! I know that guy's just acting but he plays a really good villain. 🫣

My Expectation out of the window....

I was like, are you serious? I was excited at the start, but it's slowly gotten very bad to the point where it's hard to watch. For Leng, I completed the 10 episodes. I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt, so the writer got messed up in the end. So weird ending, yet they could have pushed another season with the amount of incomplete story remaining

The acting was decent, and sorry, but the chemistry between the main lead is nowhere to be found. The story and romance were so rushed; I feel so disappointed.

This one was such a sweet little journey. 🥹🤍 I really enjoyed watching August and Leng together, and their chemistry definitely kept me watching. 💕✨
There were plenty of cute and emotional moments, with just enough drama to keep things interesting. 🌸 Some parts worked better for me than others, but overall I had a really good time with this one. 🥰
8/10 from me! ⭐💖

Missed opportunity to be a 10.

At this point, I'm wondering if I would've enjoyed this series more if I'd watched it earlier. However, after seeing so many great BL productions, I've started to get picky 😭. I created my own hell 😂.

Okay, back to the series. It was a 10/10 until episode 5 and that thwarted attempt of SA. Yes, I know he finally stopped, but why do they keep adding these scenes? Because he's a red flag? No, that doesn't justify it. The other guy was literally sobbing there.

BTW, Big is actually not a red flag, especially in the second part of the series.

Also, somewhere in the second half of the series, the writers started playing BL Bingo and adding: accident (check ✅), amnesia (check ✅). Don't you have better ideas for the plot?

Plus, the whole idea of Little Jane being a nanny to the little brother... why? That was like a second job. Why would he even do that? Plus, all three of them living at his place 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I can't...

Also, that little shitty brother, Jet, got on my nerves 😂. How many times are you gonna get yourself into trouble again?

So, to sum up, I actually liked the series, but it could've been so much better if they'd stuck with the initial ideas of the red flag / "don't get emotional" storyline instead of playing BL Bingo.

it's giving goodbye my princess

Despite some genuinely good acting and one of my favorite Meng Ziyi performances to date, this was almost unwatchable.
It's a narrative about female empowerment, but it constantly nerfs its women, disrespects their choices, and doesn't trust women to know their own desires.
There's the badass female general disguised as a man who discovers that she really just wants pretty dresses and to be a wife. There's the cold and untouchable female lead who, it turns out, is only saying no to skinship because she doesn't know she wants it yet. And then there's the male lead who is touted within the narrative as respecting his wife's choices and autonomy while explicitly doing the opposite. I found the narrative low-key misogynistic.
Then there's the weird pacing with random time skips, and the way they can’t make up their mind what to tell you or what to show you. It was this really bizarre combination of very loose implicit storytelling that leaves you to essentially guess at character motivations, and very detailed hand-holding you as they sort of beat information into your mind on repeat.

It’s not a plot, it’s storytelling

I really liked the way the story is told. It doesn’t feel like a beginning, middle and end. It's not a plot, it's storytelling. And visually, this show is beautiful. The landscapes, the nature, the cinematography in general. It feels much more polished and carefully made than most Chinese BLs I’ve seen so far. There’s a real sense of atmosphere to it, and it’s beautifully done.

But while there is all that beauty and poetry, it doesn't take away from its realism. The characters feel true - imperfect and vulnerable, each of them wearing their own past without it overshadowing their entire existence. It's a kind of subtlety that is quite rare. I’ve loved so many shows and characters, but the whole plot is often built around one traumatic event that needs to be overcome, and then everything is fine. This is so much more complex than that, without ever forcing the drama.

This also applies to how it depicts the entertainment industry. Of course I can't tell how accurate it is, but it feels like the series, through its course, just shows you how it is - without trying to make a point or advocate for anything.

And then there’s the main couple. I absolutely loved them. What I love most is that they deeply love each other, and this is never really in question. No stupid misunderstandings, no “does he still love me?”, no unnecessary drama because someone didn’t explain themselves properly. They might not always understand what the other is doing, but they trust each other enough to believe there’s a reason behind it. They also don’t give up who they are just to be together. They live their own lives, pursue their own careers and become the people they want to be. And somehow, that’s still part of the life they’re building together. There's no teary promises, no outbursts, just a quiet love, so strong and unquestionable that it doesn't need to be spoken.

There were definitely things that kept it from being a 10 for me, though. I found the sister’s behaviour increasingly frustrating and, honestly, I never really felt the romance between Wen Shu and Qing Tian. Their relationship felt incredibly deep and loving to me, but not romantic. I actually think it might have been more beautiful if it had stayed that way.

The third couple was only “interesting” as a tool to shed some light on the entertainment industry, but they honestly have no chemistry and their story brings down the quality of the show. It sadly captures all of the “gimmicks” of romantic shows - silly fights and misunderstandings, being annoyed and all over each other every other minute. They really break the flow of the series.

Firstly, is it cliché? Absolutely. But the chemistry is serving, the airplane aesthetic is super cool, and I am officially obsessed. 10/10 and recommend if you need a cute rom-com to turn your brain off to.
Secondly, it's a C drama! It's just a cute, feel-good world where everything eventually works out for their careers and their romance.
Now the serious stuff 😊
There are no fake dramatic conflicts or the typical "male lead saves the day" plot. The two stand on opposite sides of the workplace, getting to know each other again while dealing with their past issues. What makes this show so touching is how both characters are strong in their own ways: The female lead is clear-headed and independent, earning all her success through daily hard work and persistence. Facing industry prejudice, office gossip, and tough assessments, she always stands tall and faces challenges head-on. Her main goal has always been chasing the blue sky; love was never her solution to life's problems.
And the male lead isn't just some floating, domineering CEO. Even though he's in a high position, he's also under pressure to reform the industry. He might seem cold on the outside but is warm on the inside. As he slowly learns the truth, he learns to let go of his arrogance and respects a girl's passion and determination and supports her all the way yet giving her the space when he needs to. What a gem of a man 🥰
Romance: Feels modern and deeply empowering to me. I was highly entertained by the high-friction, petty tension of their early interactions. The idea of females not having to sacrifice career for love hit me. It's a comforting fluff. No annoying love triangles and devastating breakups. Miles Wei is swoon-worthy 🥰
When it comes to workplace details, this show is really authentic. The production team built a 1:1 replica of a flight simulator, and aviation professionals guided the cast and crew throughout filming. Scenes like air-ground communication, flight assessments, and emergency handling all match real industry situations, without any obvious mistakes. The pressure in the aviation industry, the stereotypes female pilots face, and the complicated realities behind airline reforms are all shown in detail, making the whole story feel real, not just another idol drama with a workplace setting.
Miles Wei delivers it time and time again! Playing a CEO is actually super hard! If you don't nail it, it gets so greasy. It's really tricky to get the balance right--definitely a huge test of acting skills. And he absolutely nailed it!!
Liu Xiening was ok. FOR ME, Miles was more deeply involved in his character than LXN
Music- super cool. "Beautiful Life" is uplifting and is on a loop ✨️ 😍
Definitely recommend ❤️

Fluorescent Green Flag

I’ve never written a review before, so this will be a learning process for me. It’s also a testament to how much I love the series, as I’ve thought about writing reviews for other shows, but never have.

Disclaimer: I started the First Frost purely for BJT, and had little expectations for this drama. It is one of the last dramas with him that I’ve seen, and I held off on watching this series because the synopsis made me avoid it for the longest time due to the misunderstandings between the ML/FL. I thought it would have a really frustrating, angsty beginning phase, but from the start it was surprisingly calm and mellow. It was really a very healing story. I suppose a parallel drama would be The Best Thing with Zhang Linghe, in that they both are love stories with a healing, comforting vibe and over-the-top, fluorescent-green flag MLs. And BJT is the ultimate green flag. No other drama has a guy ever been that devoted to someone else ever. He sleepwalk-proofed the house, was extraordinarily patient in everything Wen Yifan did, was the most understanding and undemanding friend/boyfriend ever, totally forgave her for leaving him twice, and was a bit of a stalker in the best way possible (he must have spent a fortune on plane tickets).

While I really love this series, I will voice a few critiques scattered throughout this review. I really liked the FL (Zhang Ruonan/Wen Yifan), but I was frustrated by some of her life choices. I understood the logic behind them, but thought she could have made the same choices differently without hurting Sang Yan as much. For example, she could have just told him the truth and explained why she was going to Yihe instead of Nanwu for school, and asked if he wanted to follow her. Or she could have broken up with him in a less traumatic way. The redeeming thing is that later her character realized this, too.

Story: I knew going into the series that the FL would leave for HK, so I happily wasn’t surprised. As with other reviews I’ve read, I found it bizarre that she decided to go to HK after saying she would go to the police right before making that choice. Her determination in her statements, followed by just leaving without a word, was perplexing. Even knowing it was going to happen, I was bewildered, thinking “what just happened!? She just said she’d go to the cops if they messed with her and her friends…” And why do people go to HK when they want to vanish? They did the exact same thing in Our Generation too…I wonder if there’s something about HK in cdrama’s that says “let’s go here to disappear” 😊

I loved the flashbacks and the “the story is not over yet” parts. They wonderfully fleshed out the story in the best way, like extra snippets and visual postscripts. I also liked how the show didn’t dwell on the flashback where Wen Yifan explicitly told Sang Yan he was a backup. They showed other scenes of their initial separation many times throughout the series but didn’t replay that particular scene more than once or twice. And they also showed it at the very beginning of the series, which was refreshing.

The cinematography is beautiful. It’s a bit abstract in its lighting, and I liked how, in the emotional parts of the show that prelude something ominous, the camera is often handheld, conveying a sense of shakiness.

Acting: I can see why some people would say the FL’s acting was a bit wooden, though I felt the FL/ML had a charming dynamic in their interactions and dialogue. BJT’s acting was extraordinary, and ZRN was almost as good. The more I watch of her, the more I like her. She has this shy/confidence that is hard to describe until you see it. The second leads were okay. That is why I gave the show a 9.5/10 for acting. The second couple was sweet, but I think they could have had a better getting-together story than troubleshooting the grandparents' relationship. I have no idea why the grandparents got so much airtime. Rewatching it now, I always skip past them.

BJT's demeanor is super awesome too 😊 He may be a fluorescent green flag, but one with a lot of confidence and attitude. And ZRN complements him well with a more subtle demeanor.

Music: Awesome. The more I listen to the soundtrack, the more I like it. I have a few of the songs on my playlists now 😊

Rewatch value: I definitely think this show is worth rewatching multiple times. For me, when I finish shows I really like, I slowly move on by rewatching them, and I am still doing that with this drama.

This drama really hit me in the most wonderful way. I recommend that anyone who is on the fence about watching this show give it a try 😊

Superb drama

Lots of cultural details hinted at but not sufficiently explained in the first several episodes–which dump a lot of information on the viewer. I read recaps and rewatched the first two episodes several times and still had trouble understanding the plot.

Outstanding composition, cinematography and costuming–the best I’ve seen this year.

Here’s what you should know: In imperial China salt was immensely valuable. The state’s economy and national security depended on it, and it was heavily taxed. In some periods, these taxes provided 80% to 90% of the entire state's operating budget. There was a huge black market for "private salt" (si yan) smuggled by underground networks.

Chastity arches – Historically, these were grand, elaborately carved archways erected by imperial decree to publicly honor women who showed extreme devotion to their deceased husbands, either by refusing to remarry or by committing suicide upon their husband's death.

If an unmarried virgin's fiancé died before they married, she was expected to "marry" his tablet or memory and live out her life in celibacy—or kill herself to secure honor for her family. For the family, arches were the ultimate status symbol–providing glory and wealth to a clan. Young widows were therefore often pushed into suicide against their will.

Lapis Lazuli – this was a stone that was extremely valuable and restricted to high nobility in ancient China. "Does that lapis lazuli bracelet feel smooth in your hand?" asks Grand Secretary Yu reminding Zhao Ling of the dual nature of his new life--full of ease and comfort, but surrounded by treachery.

To be continued...

Luxury overpowers everything

After overcoming my initial disappointment, I was about to rate this drama 7/10. Then the last 30 minutes happened and we're back to a kind 6/10. I wouldn't blame you if you rated it less.

The only reason I would recommend watching is if you like stories revolving around luxury, especially if they hold a sliver of social commentary. Because until the last epsiode where they dragged the whole ship down, the drama would make you doubt whether Sarah was wrong or right about what she did. Was she really that bad?

The concept is intriguing but has no angle to tell it from, because the storytelling is weak. While each episode tells one part of Sarah's story from a different character's perspective, apart from that character being affected there is no reason why it has to be them telling it. Whether the scenes were told by those affected by Sarah, Sarah herself or an omnipresent narrator, it wouldn't matter. The flashbacks were too consistent in their way of portraying Sarah, her company and the people around her to come from different people.
It wouldn't make sense that these characters freely spill their story the way they did nor that they would tell it in such a manner. If it was really the characters speaking, they would have embedded it into their own lives, how she affected everything around them as well. But while it was the characters initiating the scenes shown, they revolved around Sarah entirely. Everyone else was just a side character next to her, not bringing more to the table than the role they had for Sarah. The story was told from their perspectives to keep the viewers in doubt about what truly happened, since none of them held any inclination to tell the truth.
It's just that I wasn't bothered to wreck my head which parts were true and which ones fake. Because I didn't care about Sarah. I didn't care about what really happened. Nobody of the characters cared, either. And whether some parts of it were true or false, it wouldn't matter to either the story or the investigation.

Plot-wise, eight episodes were almost too much to tell a story that could fit onto one page. It would have needed something to uncover, something to make it interesting, but that's where I got disappointed the most. After episode two I was already covering my eyes as I'd seen enough plotholes. I already knew how the plot would go and how it would end.
The camera work was weird as well. Harshly cut, only zooming in on luxury items or pretty faces but never any other details. I rarely notice camera angles and cuts but something just felt so off. Does this drama want us to dive into Sarah's life of luxury and mystery, or does it want us to feel uncomfortable, watching from the outside biting our nails? I couldn't tell the drama's intention.

Apart from truly great acting especially from the female cast, there was barely anything else that left an impression on me. Because while eight episodes were way too much for the plot, they weren't nearly enough for the characters. There wasn't enough room to dive into the characters' emotional reactions, their motives, the consequences they faced. What was the point of Sarah's goals and intentions? Hints on that are so subtle that I'm assuming it was supposed to stay a mystery. But neither of the other characters had anything to tell either. They were all just tools in Sarah's toolbox.
I'm not Bob the Builder, I don't care much about toolboxes. I also don't care much about luxury and hoped for it to be more of a general setting than the main theme.

And if there is one thing I have seen far too many times, it's incompetent police. They are always incompetent.

So, why did I enjoy this enough to finish watching? Because it was so beautifully pointless that it was an easy watch. I wasn't invested emotionally, I wasn't invested mentally. I wanted to see if I was right about all the things I thought I could predict. I devoured Sarah's determination and intelligence.
There's a lot to analyze if you want to. There's a lot of pretty things and luxury as well as ugly facades and lies. There's a moral of the story in something that's otherwise scattered and pointless. But if you don't care from the beginning, this drama holds nothing to make you care.

High hopes but faced with disappointment

I feel like it was meant to be like an unserious show but instead it just comes off as cringy, like even from the amazinggg casting (even the side characters) initially i was soo excited cus it had soo much potential but ultimately disappointed.

In my opinion it felt like the main character was meant to be seen as someone who finds comfort spending time with herself but then randomly being wayyy to invested into these inverted reality situations??
acting like she's romance deprived causing her to come off as being pathetic. It personally felt like there was no reason for her to even fantasize the 1st cold chaebol type character especially when she was extremely vocal about her hatred for this type of behavior (even describing him as cringy) but then falls for him??? actually for his money.

However with the introduction of the 2nd character (college romance) I do understand her deep connection where it seemed like she had actual feelings for him but instead it was just cus she wasn't over her ex. I feel like this would have been a great moment for her to get clarification or external validation over the breakup since it seemed like she was still heartbroken (for how long?? who knows... esp cus he now married) but then she randomly gets the ick from him cus he's the same to everyone else????? i mean what did she even expect?????

also the weird disgust or the one sided hatred/rivalry she has for the main lead is soo annoying, gives her main character energy IN NOT A POSTIVE WAY

And the so called "conflict" they experienced like resolving it 5 mins before the end is driving me insane!!!
like he is straight forward about his feelings for her and she feels the same but she's tryna push him away??
like him despite being reserved and introverted works up his courage to confess and this girl is still delusional in her fantasies????? hollering for a man and pushing away the only one in vicinity. shes just so unlovable.
But that's not even the actual "conflict", that happened before they even got together.
he sees the ai she created looks just like him and bro is weirded out (i would be too) but she doesn't even explain properly and like turns it on him or smh????? like whattt???? also they don't even resolve it, its just shoved under the carpet and mind u he still be acting like an upsety spaghetti (they deffo not gonna last if this happened irl)

also when she says "if its going to end anyway, its better not to start at all" WHATTT???
this vr shit was just feeding into her delusions, she needs to seek therapy like yesterday.
When he says "you chose me at the end, that's all that it matters"????? BRO ACTUALLY FOUGHT AGAINST AI AND IS HAPPY FOR GETTING PICKED????? he actually deserves soooooo much better smh
+
i do like how we can differentiate the vr world and irl esp with the filming style changing.
the randomly reoccurring the side couple in the ai world was tooo cutessyy
the webtoon writer and the rivals assistant romance was too cute and should have made it an actual thing but the lil hint for him and the random employee was a lil too much (ig its cute cus at some point they were crushing on someone else)
-
also imo her acting is lowkey bad like shes attempting to act but its not working out, someone said hyeri would act better and highkey i agree. idkkkk i feel like her expressions are lacking esp the "agyeo" she does on dates is sooo cringy, i couldn't even bear the pain.
how the hell is a few scenes supposedly equivalent to 50 hrs????? also is bro not getting sleep whilst experiencing these simulations or is she just dreaming???? also how the hell is the device safe if she immediately loses consciousness.
ANDD how does she know how much time has passed by irl.
incorrect subtitles is the cherry on top along with the horrible soundtrack (yall had money for the actors but not for some singers??? hellooo??? jisoo is literally here)



In conclusion,
don't waste your time (cus im lowkey glad it was only 10 hours of hell)
thx <3


(also how the hell is this rated 8 stars???)

This was a very beautiful drama with a great story and it even had a few funny moments. It was great until the end credits of episode 10, what happened after that made no sense at all... I really hope we get a special episode where they will explain things...
Another thing that din't make much sense, were the parts about Rit and Wayu at the end of several episodes.
I liked the tarot reading at the beginning of the episodes.
It has beautiful music and visuals and the cinematography is good!

It was very well acted by all the actors, i was happy to see that Leng has grown in his acting.
The mains had great chemistry, their kisses an NC scene were good enough.

Reung and Wad had good chemistry and kisses.
Pin and Yam had good dynamics. Their moment in kissing and touching was a bit weird...

Beautiful Slow Burn

I was actually shocked at how this drama captured me. It wasnt just the acting, the visuals really made me feel emotionally tied to the show. The unsaturated colors in the beginning, the lack of joy and smiling, the quiet moments, the imagery...I mean it was quite literally a visual masterpiece. I really enjoyed every moment of it. By the end, theres such a clear distinction if how everyone in the show is feeling compared to how it started. The colors, the music, the joy...you actually feel it.

I am on luke side(don't read if you cant handle it)

Okaayyy... so i loved how luke dressed first of all.wow what fashion sense guys...too good ♥️
FL is annoying so annoying 😑 like from the start from small place (thats okay) had a night with him okay.was obedient learning from him good enough.. but suddenly after gaining experienced her attitude her dressing sense changes so drastically...lol i mean its still okay..but you want your bf to understand that you hugging other male friend and you want him to be okay with that??? Like howw? You come and go girl as you like... you want him and then you remember oh its my homies party then oh my bfs business dating event where you intentionally wearing bomb outfits like why????? He helped you he fggin raised you he taught you he cooked for you fought for you was available for you 24 7
She lived her life and went in and out as pleased and still blamed him like for whattt??? I like his possessiveness i mean why not???? You hugging your friend ofcourse he's jealous why not..?? What the heg you thinking??? Then one award was missed and she called the whole relationship as filthy like its only him?? Like what? You were involved too girl..then suddenly acting all highly mighty and then your business failed and then you decided to bang bang again??? Whhattttmmmm????? Lololollol.
For me luke deserved much better.


I only liked Tibet pictures thats all.. i saw no chemistry.. luke deserved better than her.she was nothing she offered nothing and he gave all and he's still blamed... luke is a perfect hero and ideal man for me..he's rude but he loved thats all matters..
Hated FL so muchhhh like 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 nope not watching again.pls change FL in season 2 or change her character she looks childish and stupid and more spoiled to me
