Is this inspired by Your Name Engraved Herein? It reminds me of it somewhat. I’m glad this pair got a role they can show more range in. Gemini does well in these types of roles. I’m pleasantly surprised by the type of story so far. It feels more intentional.

Interesting, it was a slow burn and suddenly became speedy McSpeedy in the last two episodes. 🤔

I agree that media tells us stories and I obviously know it’s fiction but let’s use media literacy here. We live in a world where fiction can influence real life and vice versa so we can’t pretend that what happens in stories don’t influence. My issue with this is not that I can’t watch dark or toxic stories. They are some of my favorite genres. I love stories overall - the more the merrier but when I watch something, I ask myself what is the creator’s voice saying/portraying? There are so many dark toxic couples in stories where the toxicity is mutually consented, mutually destructive. It’s where the creator straddles the line between chaos and toxicity depending on how they want the audience to feel about their characters and their actions, so I must wonder what a creator who would spend two episodes showcasing the physical and psychological breaking of one of their character by another character (who ends up being afraid of him) only to show future dalliance between them feeling like Stockholm syndrome instead of fiery passion/obsession. What is that creator saying with their story if the goal is to make them endgame. What is the creator saying if the abused character looks beaten down and too tired to fight instead of there being any meaningful matching of power and wits. If this was a cautionary tale then, sure. If Yi Chen’s freak matched Lu Feng’s freak then, sure but it’s neither of those. It’s a weird tonal message that doesn’t align with what we’re seeing play out on screen. It’s for the same reason I wouldn’t enjoy watching a story of a man who kidnaps and abuses a woman until he breaks her framed as a love story, but I would enjoy watching a man who kidnaps a woman who finds that her freak matches his freak and they do sadistic things to each other. See the difference.

For me I always dislike characters (especially family members) who are truly selfish. Even when you take Lu Feng out of the equation (and trust me I have no love for him - he is irredeemable), the brother not only puts himself first every time but he expects his brother to sacrifice himself for his needs and wants. I feel like everyone in Yi Chen’s life hurts Yi Chen, even Yi Chen. Everyone character is selfish but the brother and the mother’s selfishness really irks me because they are his family. That kind of hurt and betrayal cuts deep for me when it’s family. I stopped watching after the last episode because I figured they’d try to make a fairytale ending and I don’t jive with that. Abusers are scum.

Oh, I have enough ire to go around. Especially for the r*pist.

😮😂😆 They’re all so bad but yeah, the lil bro is somehow the least tolerable one. Everyone either needs jail, needs to be alone or needs to be left stranded on an island somewhere.

What in the absolute f**k was those last two episodes.

I REALLY loved LoveSick and found Progress to be a revelation in that series. I find that he is playing the character in this the exact same way as his character from LoveSick, which makes this series feel less good. The same can be said for Almond. I’m not a fan of actors acting the same in everything they do, it makes it hard to suspend belief. Aside from that, the series is cute and overall Ok.

Arthit and Dao‘s chemistry and story had the potential of Jo and North (or even better). It’s crazy how they just threw their season together and despite that they still shone. It makes you wonder how much more epic their part would have been with a little more time and care.

I really enjoyed this

It does seem like it, if him being able to crack a glass with his bare hands has anything to do with it.

Now that the series has aired, it's better than I though it would be. Looks like the project going from Studio Wabisabi to GMMTV was the right call.
It's nice seeing BounPrem's chemistry on screen again. Mark is definitely making a place for himself in this industry.
Enjoyable so far and kinda wholesome to see that Boun's dream project has come to fruition.

I guess it’s that time again to cry uncontrollably over a kdrama. 😭😭

This was HILARIOUS! And what was up with that hair LMFAO

It’s so satisfying!! 😆😆😁

Same. I’m hooked so far. Can’t wait for the remaining episodes.

Holy smokes. This remake has no business being this good, and the music is banging too. 👍🏽👍🏽

On episode 2 and how they managed to make me laugh till my belly hurts and cry buckets because of all the emotional scenes, I’ll never know. 😢😂😢😂😢😂

You’ve summarised it perfectly yourself. 🙂“Worn-down” was the word I was looking for.
