Okay!… but a little disappointed

Cha Eunwoo is one of my favourite celebrities, and I was no doubt excited for this drama ever since it was announced. However, as a reader of the original webtoon, there are a few issues I had with the drama.

I’ll firstly start off with the many things I enjoyed about this drama:

The first few episodes were genuinely interesting and executed the story in a fun, witty manner. The production quality was top notch and the mix of CGI and real life action for Haena’s dog form was hilarious! The pacing for the series was engaging and I even rewatched the first few episodes while I waited for new episodes.

While people like to complain about Eunwoo being typecasted, he played his character very well and it remained true to the original character depicted in the Webtoon. Actually, I was surprised how he managed to make Seowon cuter! But I guess that is very possible when played by Cha Eunwoo hehe. And don’t get me started on those kissing scenes !! Hoyyy do you want me dead, Eunwoo!?!!?

Park Gyuyoung has become one of my favourite actresses after this series! She was very funny. It was a bit of a 180 compared to the last time I saw her in Celebrity. But she looked so warm and amiable in her light brown hair!


Now… while I did enjoy the series for the most part, I must now complain.
As I had been anticipating this drama for over a year before its release, I was not happy to hear that it would only have 14 episodes. And even worse, they were going to air once a week.
Um… Okay. Can’t be that bad right? Wrong.
I can imagine it would be much more enjoyable to binge this series, however, watching it while airing was exhausting considering the first few minutes of each episode would be a recap of the last. Like thanks! I totally forgot what happened during the single episode you gave me last week.

And to make matters worse, there was the repetition of the typical Kdrama MONTAGE! That’s right. They did it almost every episode to remind you that indeed the main characters looked at eachother 4 episodes ago. And yes.. they KISSED 2 episodes ago… Oh and remmeber that time they went to the park!??.. SUCH A WASTE OF SCREENTIME. It is just such lazy storytelling.

In the Webtoon, we got more insight to Seowon’s family, yet in the drama we literally don’t know anything about him. No, seriously. Instead we got almost 2 whole episodes of the most BORING historical backstory flashback in the history of fantasy Kdramas. The romance was cute between their past lives.. But I can’t believe they decided to change Bogyeom’s character that much… He was so irritating here.

The last 4 episodes of this drama were a snooze feast. I literally used to rush to watch this every Wednesday night as soon as it was released but there came a point where I dreaded it because I do not wanna know about some petty God’s tragic love story…

Basically. If you’re gonna make a Kdrama adapted from a Webtoon, don’t make it worse than the original?! There were SO many opportunities to make it better, instead we got the same montage over and over.. ITS TIRING.

If I wasn’t a Webtoon reader I’d probably be okay with this drama. However, having the original plot in mind I had the bar set higher but the drama was just too much of a disgrace for me.

My Disappointment Is Immeasurable and My Day Is Ruined

I dont wanna see people I don't like kiss and fall in "love".

I felt it with cutie pie and I feel it here, some characters (or more specifically, their decisions) are just too unlikable to overlook. The leeway given to mediocre plot in exchange for decent, not awkward BL doesn't exist here, because even the BL parts left me conflicted.

If a show is GOOD, like really, sincerely good, I just watch it. Back to back to back until it's done. I was reading reviews while watching episode 2 because I couldn't fathom how this got that high of a rating and I've had fastforward held down since the beginning of ep. 2. I'm skipping forwards constantly because Porsche is so aggressively unlikable. For all that he was wary of the mafias, he starts working for them and immediately begins acting a fool. I was literally rooting for someone to shoot him-- not fatally, though I don't think I'd care regardless, but anything to just restart the brain he seemed to have left behind in episode one. I'm not even done with episode two yet and this is all I have to say about it. The only positive is that episode one was interesting enough to get me to episode two. Episode two might not be interesting enough to get me to episode three, but the reviews implied it'll be worth it to wait for the VegasPete storyline so I'm gonna see how long I can hang on.

If you hate cringe, this one's not for you. By episode two, there's no breaks between Porsche making Stupid Fucking Decisions™️. Every single scene, you can assume he'll take the stupidest, most deranged action possible, without fail. He seemed like a reasonable, serious young man in the first episode, but in the second, we learn he is your average, pos asshole. I'm being so real, it has been four minutes since I wrote the previous paragraph and every time he's on screen the urge to drop this show increases exponentially. It's not even stressful because I KNOW he's going to do something so stupid it feels patently unrealistic. It's annoying in the kind of way that just make you want to leave, there's nothing to be said. I like unlikable characters when done correctly, but this is a type of unlikable that I don't think some backstory can fix. He does something that should end with a bullet between the eyes (because they're the MAFIA, HELLO???? do actions not have consequences????) and all that happens is he gets lightly strangled to sleep. How the hell do you even gently strangle someone??? And everyone else in the room who are literally also mafias are okay with just that??? Sure, yeah, ok, I'll believe it even though me, as a viewer, was as unsatisfied as they should've been.

I cannot properly communicate how disappointing this series is so far. And every new scene I watch, I have to come back to type more because I hate it. I'm STILL IN EPISODE TWO. Every. Single. Scene. Is. Frustrating. I might just start skipping whenever I see Porches face and hope the second couple saves this.

I've made it to episode three with only a single lobotomy, yay. I can't tell if it's Porsche or the author who forgot about the brother he's supposed to care dearly for. He goes out (and thus definitely has service) and doesn't think of him once. Now that Kinn's brother is more front and center, I can see that everything I took issue with in the previous episodes was an attempt at comedy. Not one bit of it landed, including in this episode, but I can at least see where the director thinks I should be laughing.

Episode three marks Porsche taking things slightly more seriously. Unfortunately, I am already rooting for anyone who isn't him AND doesn't like him. He puts himself in more stupid situations that he KNOWS won't go well (and it's also never explained how doing what he wants somehow trumps everyone else's authority. He just leaves his new boss to go work for the old one without consulting either? And it just works out I guess, because it's never addressed ? sure ok. But why write a mafia story?) Someone points a gun and Porsche holds his up for literally two seconds. Two seconds, and then just raises his hand instead? Like bro, at this point just say, "omg babe this isn't you, put the gun down." Wtf is a hand supposed to do against bullets????

Everything's apparently life and death because mafia, but everybody pulls guns out for fun and then doesn't shoot. I thought we were going to get something gritty and real because one dude gets shot for fun in episode one, but that is literally as interesting as it will ever get. The montages of "Oh fun drunk times haha" is literally the most engaging part of this episode and the last. I do not know if the bar can get lower than six feet under, but it's trying. Speaking of the second bar trip, still no sign of giving two shits about his brother. It's like the character from the start is absolutely gone. And they just established its only been a month, so it's not like he should've changed entire personalities.

The "romance" between Kinn and Porsche feels forced. And then it is forced, because Kinn forces a makeout on a drunk Porsche despite Kinn himself seeming almost sober. We're in episode four now, by the way. I haven't had much to compliment in this series, so I'll say this much: the opening song is great. No urge to skip it, especially when I know the episode won't be. The episode recaps go over the last two episodes, which would be awesome if anything happened in them, but is instead just entirely unnecessary. Even to this point, Porsche is unlikable, irritating, and just plain dumb. Takhun is currently the most likable character and, if you're watching the series, you'll understand why that's bad. Vegas was on screen for ten seconds and managed to be the best character so far. The best character otherwise would be Pete, but Pete doesn't dislike Porsche, so he gets points deducted. Jesus, this character is so annoying. I'm sorry, every time I press play, he's doing something fucking stupid. The best thing he's done so far is not be homophobic, which is not a high bar.

Have y'all noticed I haven't mentioned the story at all? It's because there isn't one. I have never cared less about a plot and I haven't even been able to locate this one to care about. Vegas just did something so lame bro, I can't breathe, I need one good character PLEASE. It's not as stupid as Porsche or Kinn's behavior so maybe I just forget it happened? I think this series gives me the ick because I'm just unsatisfied with every little thing at this point. Like the diamond auction?? I could understand gold but wtf gives a shit about diamonds???? A secret auction for a rock with no actual value?? Yeah, the ick. If anything else was believable, I'd overlook a lot, but the show never misses an opportunity to be shit.

Remember that forced romance I mentioned? Well now it's literal, Kinn fucks Porsche when he's drugged at a bar ?. I knew it was coming and I still was hoping it'd go different. I'm now in episode five (in about two hours since I began, that's how much I'm skipping and fast forwarding) and I think this is the last one. I can't stomach more of this waiting for a better couple, especially because now that I've seen a bit more of Vegas, my hopes are nonexistent.


I have now seen an additional bit more of Vegas and take back my previous statement. The first couple barely exists, the second couple has yet to acknowledge each other... why is there a third couple? They're cute, as in the people who play then are cute. The characters themselves I couldn't give less of a fuck about and they're scenes push me further out of a drama I was already way out of. Imma get into episode six though, because it's only taking 10mims per ep at this point. I don't know if I can still count this as watching, but I also still get what's going on because there's really not much so. Speaking of episode six, if you're stuck outside with no source of clean water, don't drink river, lake, or pond water until day three, when it's urgent. Parasites exist. Also, this shouldn't need to be said, but if you see a ravine, don't jump over it. Especially if you can clearly see the sides of it bro, fr just walk around, was this necessary???

There is no greater pain than trying to fastforward only to realize you've already been watching at 2x. At this point I'm now aware this is like a series of vaguely mafia themed fantasies the author had and then attempted to string together with a hair thin plot. Its actually a really bearable watch if you keep that in mind. That said, now that I'm on episode seven, I understand and agree that Vegas is saving this show. He won't succeed, but now I just skip to whenever his face shows up. Anyway, I watched about halfway through episode eight and then I was abruptly done. Nothing really happened to make it so, I just didn't want to watch anymore, even with all the skipping.

I won't say don't watch this, but if you're thinking of watching it, you should probably try walking your turtle or teaching your pet bird to swim first, it will be more entertaining ?

This was, obviously, written as I watched, so please excuse any confusing sentences/sentence structure.

interesting plot

8,4/10. Plotnya menarik tapi sensasi thrilling-nya kurang bgt, yg feelnya dapet cuma pas bagian detektif an jihyung sama jung gyuchul. Untuk acting ga mengecewakan sih soalnya castnya udh pada mantep bgt ??? ada beberapa sinematografi yg aku suka, selebihnya biasa aja. CGI-nya kurang........ MAAF.... eps akhir agak ga nyangka sih dia bakal reinkarnasi jadi ibunya, gokil. Part ini menurutku yg paling sedih, sama waktu dia reinkarnasi jd gunwoo pas ketemu jisu (((banjir air mata))) endingnya GANTUNG,,, smoga s2 nya ga lama2. Takut kburu lupa bjir sama plotnya ? OHYA dari series ini banyak juga pelajaran idup yg bisa diambil, jadi sebenernya ok aja buat ditonton ????????

trash

jade acts like a 5 year old girl in this whole series. how in hell he cannot figure out mai is the one falling for him. even a blind person can tell mai is in love with jade. we wasted 5 to 6 episodes and jade please stop screaming like a girl in your next series. we don't like it. to be honest the side couples should be in the main roles cause they act like they are in their age range like a grown adult. and of course I love to see king and uea together. and production team, stop playing the ost every 5 seconds I hate the song cause I listened the ost for a billion times.
and for the family of mai, mai's mother is so fake. I can tell she does not want mai to be gay. I can see in her eyes. I love jade's family at least they can act they are supportive to jade.
and finally this series is trash

Bad start, bad ending

To be honest, it was nothing in the name of plot just a normal school or coming of age series but bl felt like i have seen this plot a million times, just because the couple looked cute doesn't mean we should let a blind eye on the writing, i don't know i feel like i should give it another chance but other side of my heart is saying it was boring as f*ck. In every episode the same thing kept repeating nad repeating there was no progress it was like a 2 episode series was pulled in a 12 episode series. At first i thought that i don't like it because there are almost no kiss scenes but then i realized that even in a series with kiss scenes i fast-forwar them because i am too shy to see so that was not the case. I had watched this series in 2023 but just felt like giving a review now.

one of the best show..

starting from the acting it was genuinely so impressive. I really liked each and every character. so glad Paer wasn't like the 'mean girl of the bl plot' because that'd be very sad.
krist as kawi literally took my heart away and gawin my man soo amazing I really loved his performance here.

coming to the story I loved it sooo much literally the best part of show is actually the story. it takes pretty fun, intresting and intense twist and turns. besides that..

the music.. even though people doesn't really notice but I felt the music of this show was so on point and it fits the whole show very well. it's usually not a highlight but it was a highlight here for me.

what else I liked was there wasn't any forced LGBTQ representation infact it was subtle and so right.

I feel that it's a must watch because this show has all the goods and it has magical watching experience.

not long to read *hopefuly*

Its overall good i watched it all in a couple of minutes. 2 minutes long bro just at least try and sit threw it for the people that did not and their may be some cuts.
overall the acting is not really good like at all.

the music i dont really remember tbh

the story makes sense but also doesn't because its like they cut some stuff out before the next episode but you should get what's going on at least a little bit but the story is kind of terrible.

its not really worth watching to be honest but i watched it just cause it 2 minutes long and i just watched it on Asian load but still its not really worth watching to be honest do not waste your time but like i said it 2 minutes long so and it has some plot twists thats literally probably noticeable and stuff but yea.

NO PLOT! Just Sex scenes

This show literally has no viable plot. The watcher is bounced around to 6+ 'relationships' in the loosest definition. It's a worse version of Kinnporsche where the director has angled the show around pure shock value rather than any assemblance of reason. I lose braincells watching this show. I literally don't care about the mystery plot, I don't care about the playboy club, I don't care about the masochist couple. The only relationship I care about is Nont and Prom simply because they're the hottest.
This show honestly should be classified as a comedy because the modesty cups and outfits they wear are hilarious, the cups are laughably huge.

Favorite Show of ALL TIME!!

Storyline:
Out of all the Tsundere shows out there, and I have watched a lot, this is by far my favorite one and it depicts a much more healthy relationship than most other tsundere shows. It gives the watcher all the of the best parts of cheesy romantic shows!
Especially compared to the Korean and Japanese versions I prefer this show and have watched it multiple times because the plot is so much more fulfilling. Although I am a Tsundere ML lover it always irks me how unrealistic the relationship development is. The FL has literally begins to like the guy after one 'nice' action which imo is dumb. But in Kiss me Thai they develop a friendship first, whilst it is a rocky one they both have each other's best interests at heart which is SO SWEET! I don't want to include spoilers but their relationship really develops and they realize that they have a deep connection far beyond what they could have ever imagined from their first meeting.

Acting:
AOM AND MIKE'S CHEMISTERYYYYY. There is a reason they have been in more than one show together, I'm just saying. Aom is so perfect for the role she plays in this show, she is kind and bubbly, while also being a complete airhead at times. Mike has his cool guy vibe but he also shows a softer side.
ML's mom is also really great I loved her and FL's Dad as well. The parents friendship was so funny and cute. I want to be like them when I am older.

If you watched Mischievous Kiss, Playful Kiss, or even any of the Meteor garden/ F4/Boys over flowers shows you will love this show and I hope you love it more than those other ones. WE STAN HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS!!

Sweet & cute romantic series with Miles Wei

PLOT: FL, author and screenwriter, had a crush on her boss, ML, for 4 years. He asked her for help in courting her best friend, in vain, since she had just gotten married. The FL then decides to confess to the ML, who rejects her quite brutally. She resigns and goes to work on the script for her movie. The ML then realizes how indispensable she is to him and decides to court her.

PROS:
+ Miles Wei is ML, handsome, as always.
+ The series is less prudish than usual, and the viewer can see to a lot of kisses and great chemistry in the CL.
+ An endearing CL2, with a sweet romance and convincing visuals.
+ No break-up, no unnecessary love triangle.
+ loving and encouraging families.

CONS:
- The part where the FL refuses to accept the ML (whom she loves) because she was hurt and she is not convinced of his sincerity, is way too long!!
- The final Happy Ending for everyone is a bit simplistic: The CL2 makes their relationship public, without consequences. The ML puts all his assets in his wife's name. The 2 single people who remain, will probably form a couple, etc.

Nice, cute series, but not memorable.
********************************************************************************************
Série romantique sweet & cute avec Miles Wei

PLOT: la FL, auteure et scénariste, a un crush sur son patron, le ML, depuis 4 ans. Celui-ci lui a demandé son aide pour courtiser sa meilleure amie, en vain, en vain, puisque celle-ci vient de se marier. La FL décide alors de se confesser au ML, qui la rejette assez brutalement. Elle démissionne et part travailler sur le script de son film. Le ML se rend compte alors à quel point elle lui est indispensable et décide de lui faire la cour.

PROS:
+ Miles Wei en ML, craquant, comme toujours.
+ La série est moins prude que d'habitude, et le spectateur a droit à beaucoup de kisses et une belle alchimie dans le CL.
+ Un CL2 attachant, avec une sweet romance et des visuels convaincants.
+ No break-up, no unecessary love triangle.
+ des familles aimantes et encourageantes.

CONS:
- La partie où la FL refuse d'accepter le ML (qu'elle aime) parce qu'elle a été blessée et qu'elle n'est pas convaincue de sa sincérité, est beaucoup trop longue !!
- La Happy End finale pour tout le monde, est un peu simpliste : Le CL2 rend sa relation publique, sans conséquence. Le ML met tous ses biens au nom de sa femme. Les 2 célibataires qui restent, vont se mettre en couple, etc.

Série sympa, cute, mais qui ne restera pas dans les mémoires.

Love the chemistry between the Leads

This show has given us another green flag in Yoo Ji Hyuk (ML). Just completed the final episodes and the show was worth the hype. All characters are pretty interesting, which makes you take in every minute of the show without hitting fast forward or skipping most parts.

Its interesting to watch Jung Soo Min hate the female lead (Kang Ji Won ) so much and still go on pretending to be her best friend, sabotaging her at every step. There was a time when I believed people weren't like that and the shows were too dramatic to show such characters. However, I have learned different, people get perverse sense of pleasure by putting others down. And to Soo Min making Ji Won's life difficult is like a drug. There is no self-reflection for this character.

Now, the female lead was actually a pretty terrible judge of character and its pretty common. It's lonely living a life suspecting everyone of a motive, much easier to trust people are telling the truth. I was glad to the sismance between Fl, Yoo Hee Yeon, and Yang Joo Ran. They did such a good job lending an ear to Kang Ji Won, however they weren't aware of her returning back in time. The second couple Yoo Hee Yeon and Baek Eun Ho took their time getting together but both were so adorable througouth the series. I do wish we had gotten to see Joo Ran and Lee Suk Joon together as well, but I feel very optimistic about their future so that's good as well.

The cast is pretty great as well, especially Song Ha Yoon, she did such a fabulous job portraying Jung Soo Min. This drama has made me see her in new light. I didn't recognize her as the lead actress from the show Devilish Joy. The ending left me wondering if it made sense that Min Hwan died and not her (Soo Min). While Min Hwan is a character that attack the weak, he isn't really brainy, so him in prison or getting out in the future wouldn't have made much of a difference. Eve still, did I feel sad that he died? Nope. He just stopped existing and things went about their way. Now, with the kind of hatred Soo Min is harboring for Ji Won, things might get tricky in the future if she was to ever get out.

Must Watch Episode!

To begin with, this episode was so wholesome! If you want to see seventeen unwinded, relaxed and careful! This is the right episode! I loved every bit of it, I felt the members were themselves without any pressure from the world. I feel like this was the only time through their journey to date where they got to rest peacefully, enjoy all the resources without rush, wake up and sleep when they wanted to. I feel like recently, despite the fame and the growth the members have received in the name of vacation, rest, or whatever, they were still forced to act, poor babies couldn't even well, and hence why they are always exhausted. But I am glad, they had the experience they deserved in the SOOP!

The Soop series indeed provided a unique opportunity for the members to unwind and be themselves. May they continue to receive the rest and appreciation they deserve in the future! ?✨ <3<3 Seventeeen fighting

One of the bestest bl ❤❤

Here's my review though I never felt of writing one but this series and IT'S reviews made me to do it...first of all the leads were extraordinary charms not only about their looks but the way they carried their characters and emotions throughout the show makes it worth watching...their chemistry was off the charts..we can really feel through screen that they clearly enjoys eachother company...

And the most loving thing was how the series was so lovable with light hearted storyline.. some action and the charms of every character
And obvious crushes of mainlead on eachother...I don't know why IT'S so underrated oh god I loved it throuh beginning to the end...I accept it doesn't have accurate and appealing ending as it abruptly ended but any sane person can decode the ending looks of mainlead....
The whole series shown the bl aspect such a nicely and we can enjoy it as an actual bl though it doesn't have any intimate scenes but bruh not every beautiful bl series need those scenes for it's validation to be a perfect bl story..
It's clearly potrays that both mainleads slowly developed a huge soft place for eachother in their hearts..their willingness to do whatever to please other..caring..loving and over all efforts to show the importance of eachother in their lives...those gestures and gazes are enough to erupt butterflies...

There were enough cues that they had liking fo r eachother...and they were pretty obvious blind people can also feel their jealousy?and efforts they put to be the perfect and only one for eachother

As a conclusion I wold like to say that I only completed it today..yesterday I started it and their chemistry made me complete it in a one go...and I will definitely rewatch it..
Everyone watch it's worthy❤

I don't know how to describe the entirety of this drama because I watch this one ongoing. I really like this drama and the storyline of arrange marriages is one of my favorite theme in drama land so that's an added point. The process of watching the drama was enjoyable for me as a watcher. I find the leads having the chemistry, the side characters with their cute side stories as well as the family life of the leads. The acting was great for me, but I could really see that the others need more improvement but I'm not complaining cause it's tolerable.
I guess I was just not that excited with watching the last 2 episodes, because I lost my interest in it, which I don't know the reason behind. The ending felt like a rush but honestly I like the ending. I thought it was appropriate for the drama. I would recommend this for sure.
