So far, a brilliant and beautiful piece that says, THIS is how you do it...the complete clever and romantic kdrama package. Starts out the gate running, interesting, tugging at the heart strings, wonderful performances by cast, the cinematography, ost, vibe...it's all there. I haven't been drawn into and excited for this type of kdrama (or c) in a long time. I almost passed on it because the title, image, and synopsis didn't catch my eye. I am very glad I rando checked it out. Don't listen to neg complainers on here who have personal grievances and lash out baselessly. There are many dumpster fire dramas out recently that they should set their sights on and leave this one alone.
Thought it would be interesting to check out and whoa! I ab loved their real life friendship and how they play off of each other. I would love to be a fly on the wall. What fun. Anyone who takes this neg prob just had a very isolated or restricted social circle. Unfortunately, post covid and in the 2020's there seems to be a lot of that. To me, the back and forth is what makes it geniune and fun.
So fed up with iQIYI pushing back things I really want to watch, this being a prime example. I wonder if people get on iQIYI TMLYL comment section asking what's up if it would speed up the process.
I would have easily said this was a good romantic series but after [spoiler, so posting it below] parts, I loved…
I'm a hopeless romantic, watched a zillion dramas, and Zhou Wan's proposal is my ab fav video game to yes. I'm an art lover, the exhibition work and set up was amazing. I wanna go!! I did feel it got too carried away with the standing on the desk mountain part, but easily forgiven because it redeemed itself with the very ending.

I almost hesitated, and very glad I didn't. I don't want to jinx it but so far, imo delivering. I've dropped the past few BLs I've started due to complete disappointment, so a big thank you to Deep In for filling the hole. 😶
I'm all over the place. Took a bit to get into it. Liked, sometimes impressed. But, when it was time to start tying up loose ends....tank. The Thaiverse rolls a little diff and that's part of the fun...who will slap first or run out with a gun in each hand shooting all willynilly...armed bad guys get shut down with a kick or two. But seriously, the ending eps went a bit too far south. I suggest- right when the writer consecutively gets way too silly, just stop. You already figured out the mystery. It's tolerable this way and saves you a few hours and frustration. Still, for being all PG, cp intimate scenes were blazing. People complain abt the main characters, but I figure if your family is murdered and you are living under a false identity and someone is always trying to kill you, I prob wouldn't be a golden version of myself either😆
Oh also... When those 3 guys are after Phatsa and Nakhun appears... How come Nakhun can find him all of a sudden?…
Heat. And I've never heard of ABO phermone set up where someone in barreling down the streets of Bankok late at night caught a wiff of O and stopped in time to jump out and fight. And then when super A starts emitting his fighting pheremones the bad guys didn't react to his scent like they do in every ABOE I've read or watched. It's weird, Thailand isn't new to ABO premise but it seems like whoever is in charge of Knot is new to it. In my experience, it could have gone 100% smoother for an intro. And ABO fans will chat and explain things to fans who are new to it (one of the cool things about the genre) so it feels like someone trying on mommy's high heels. Let's hope they get it together for ep2. I mean the potential is all there incl actors whose scenes in My Stubborn turned my livingroom into a sauna.
They use AI now, and it shows. I only sign up for a month at a time with them now. They’ve always had bad subtitles,…
Is that what happened? I dropped my subscription for a long time and just renewed it. The subs were even wonkier than in the past. Now it makes sense. I've even had to drop a few series over unbearable subs 🤬
It bothers me that iqiyi tl "Dummy" as Jay's name in Sun's phone, when it should be "Crazy Bastard."…
Idk but in my sphere "dummy" is like doofus which is just not meshing with what payback is. Now crazy bastard (kinda sounds korean 🤣) but it makes better sense to me and is multi-level. Nw. I was getting all into it and had to dodge mini vibe killer tls. We've all seen wilder mismatched subbing. Goes to show that tl really is a craft and influences the outcome of the work. I really like the vibe and angle of the Payback series so that's why it stuck out to me so much.

Good, edgy Korean BL. Not sanitized at all (HUGE for for kBL). Short but provides a complete the story w/o unwanted tangents. By the end you understand everything & a solid ending. I reveled in a gritty kBL that departs from the hs/college realm. Not all dramas are created equal (resources, laws) & this gets amplified in BL, which is very noticable in the kBL genre. This series is one that demonstrates kBL series are maturing. *note* bc I see a lot of mdl'ers that hate a series bc they don't lile a theme or character- if you don't like dark, murder, gangster, drug, crime, MA relationships, just skip bc there are a slew of new BLs out there currently that aren't dark like this one

Fuaiz is the best scandalous villain (Payback, 4Minutes). KJU so adorable in btsðŸ¤
