too much toxic but not a boring serie

i found myself entertained, at least im able to watch and not feel like im about to sleep because of dragging scenes..
the 1 hour ep here pass like 20 mins, that says that im enjoying this, mostly because i dont see heavy filler scenes with this one. so i barely skipped anything..
while i understand why many people complain, yeah toxic unhealthy relationship, this serie is based on the novel, so if you are going to watch keep in mind there is obsession love, and physical abuse, sa etc
i liked the couples chemistry, the music, and the story is so toxic but still interesting to watch, maybe because we are discovering with Day about what happened in the past

a season that felt unnecessary

imo this serie didnt need a second season ,esp if its going to be full of lazy writing , season one was much better (even with it own flaws)
watching this season, the first eps werent really bad, but eventually it get more and more frustrating so i stopped watching after ep 10 then decided its too late to drop and that i can jump to last ep to see what happened,
the reasons were: lack of motivation because:
-nothing make sense,
-full of nonstop miscommunication,
- characters keep acting brainless ,no one is smart
so what was the point of this season? idk, maybe because the first season was a hit thats all
the cast deserve a better plot, kimkenta deserved more screentime
what i liked:
-ngl i watched for the cast, even if the plot is terrible those are good actors + i like Pavel a lot
- this season made me excited for Kim/Kenta
-the addition of Milk as "willy" was good, the actor look talented so i hope he participate in more series

one of the best kdramas

this is one of the best kdramas for real, the urge to bing watch was high, it has been ages since i have done any review but i thought a show like this needs reviews, first the story is really interesting it kept me excited to check what will happen in the next eps, the only thing id say i was not interested in is the romance part, but it does make sense why its included ,because love is the reason why things took different path so it had to be included for certain things about the plot , id not say more to avoid spoilers
i also loved the ending and found it interesting, tbh i think this role really suit Park Shin Hye very well, it feels like the show is made for her and this is her best drama

its not as bad as many people are trying to make it look like

now, if i saw the comments before i watch id be avoiding this but what happened now is that i checked the comments when i already watched it, things like that make me realise to not avoid shows just because someone said so, so whenever you will end up liking this serie or not i advice everyone to just check out and to not get so influenced by the comments, because sometimes you can end up liking something that someone else didnt.

as any show of course there is things that i liked and things that i disliked so thats why i put spoilers warnings
things i disliked:
i do agree that in the middle (halfway through the eps) it was a bit slow ,"just a little bit" then the pace pick up again, there is times when i felt bothered about how much selfless palm is (that could be a charm as well) but i think of it as no, someone like palm will get hurt a lot in a world like this, i also didnt like the obsession of meeting only one time in a year (they were kinda of forcing that idea in the end) and the last drama of palm leaving was a bit unecessary tbh, i also think they should have shown palm's dad after hiding ,because thats the last we heard about him,
there is few things that they could have added too, i wanted to see palm and neung openly telling their families that they are dating (we never saw that), i wanted to see chopper/ben kiss but im not complaining as seeing them confirming their relationship and holding hands was heartwarming (we were saved from a high five lmao) and the chemistry is good, i find myself giggling about their interactions
but one thing i want to complain about, i wish they got more sceentime, we have seen a lot about palm neung and about chopper dad, but i wanted to see how ben is living and how he is dealing with his homophobic dad and his struggles ,there is a lot to explore there

things i loved:
-i loved when palm's friend told him that he should stand up for himself and that he should love himself, because he needs to hear that ,he looks like he always put others before himself
-i loved how he also praised neung and told him how good he did when he took over his mum, i love seeing a supportive boyfriend who is always there for his boyfriend and who make sure his boyfriend know he did great
-can i also talk about the music? its so gooood, gmmtv killing it with good songs i discovered a lot of good songs because of them.
-i liked seeing the grief part when palm was dealing with his mum's loss, the steps of process, first he pushed nuengdiao harshly then come to the realisation of what he did, then drinking and asking nueng for a dance, it was touching to see nueng comforting him as much as he can i'd say thats my favorite part.
-passive top and dominant bottom? yes i love to see that (as much as i love seeing switch couples etc) so i love to see how neung confessed first and how he asked palm to be his boyfriend, i love that just as much as he lean into palm's protection, he also take care of palm when he should, i love how honest he is even if some people think of him as a bit rude, it only show how human he is so he is not flawless just because he is the main character
note: i think from now on ,everytime i see a couple dancing id think of palm and neung because its their thing

another note about how i judge if a serie is good or not: i'am having good time watching or not? what i cant stand are slow plots with nothing going on, as nothing turn me off like feeling im about to sleep when im watching
about this show? i never felt that im about to sleep when im watching which is the opposite of few other series , so it was entertainning , i was interested enough to watch and enjoyed watching . so im not saying this show is perfect but i dont find it as bad as some people said. if you want to check it out just check it out, preferences are different from one person to another

watch the uncut version first

i didnt finish this yet, im waiting to complete the uncut version (the last 2 eps) before completing this one, why?
because everyone recommended to me to watch the uncut first and after checking i do recommend the same
when i went back to this to see if there is any difference i did notice all scenes i saw do exist in the uncut version, while this one is shorter ,for time limit, and it can look confusing. the uncut version is longer , more smooth and complete, they include more flashbacks about their story and more key informations etc, so just make sure to see that one first

so raw ,so touching!!!

guys i was about to check it out and watch one or two eps but ended up bing watching the whole show so im awake at almost 4am lmao
everything about this serie is so raw and i loved it, the sad moments, the happy moments, the steamy scenes of the MLS full of love and feelings ,the trauma and issues, the guilt and hope, everything.
obviously Ritsu loved Masumi but it was hard for him at that time to be commited to one person and was used to sleeping around, only realised what he missed when Masumi left, he terribly hurted him and caused him trauma but im glad when i see someone who did wrong did apologize and looked so sincery guilty about their mistakes
the ending also gave hope and maybe im the only one who loved it, its open ending leaning so much more to a happy end, i think they didnt directly show a happy end because it may look unrealistic, but the characters gave hopeful messages, the unexplainable things too are a big hint that its happy, the sudden rain ,sudden fire and how the bottle didnt fall etc and it helped the characters to lessen their struggles , im telling you that boy have superpower and stopped the disaster from happening lol
i know at some point im going to rewatch this again, i highly recommend this ^^
