I kinda agree with you, i remember after ep. 1 i couldn't understand how it make sense to have so many flashbacks…
Personally, I think storyline is pretty strong, if you strip if from acting and just analyse script essence it kinda make sense. There is a lot more going on than in many other Bl - relationship-wise. If emotion were portrayed correctly it would be really good. But its one-person show for main couple - i don't think i saw even one person who connected to this story from Fah perspective. We have different comments siding with the other 5 leads: - siding with Vee - siding with Ai - siding with Dome etc. but comments and analysis of Fah/Thorn it's always from Torn side - making the whole storyline feel weak and one -sided. Fah is just kinda there... at one point I even thought they just wanted to portray him only through Torn eyes, like in diary but it kinda downed to me later one that it's not the case and its just actor questionable acting skills... But I agree with you that "Sometimes less is more" should be put to use more often in Bl...
Yap. 😂😂 And there is nothing wrong with him making out with a girl ....
Wait, wait wait... if i understand correctly Earth is making out with Win/ Mix who is currently stuck in his sister body???? Ble (sound of vomiting), can you image someone using your own body like its own and letting things go this far....??
Don't shot me but i kinda don't like Nat in the role of Kondiao - i saw him before in Y-Dynasty and Nuea role seemed better suited to him. His portrayal of a weak cutie is lacking impact and has this unnatural feel about it...
That was the worst accidentally kiss ever 🤣 I laughed too hard
Didn't you see accidentally kissing over eating sausage in enchante? I can at last pretend that they really accidentally slipped into bathtub filled with rose petals...
Basic can also be good depending on depth and spin of the story, i will hold my judgment till i see a few more…
Yes - it's probably one of best BL show airing now. It kinda breaks the stereotypical poor needing help bottom meet rich capable top scenario. Having an original writer who is male and a doctor also adds a realistic feel.
Still, God bless him. Despite the fact that he committed mistake in the past. Don't judge the person easily without…
Sorry, but it's thanks to him we didn't get the whole 3 season of full moon - yes it was planned - to have three season. But due to his action and his refusal to star in 2 season of the show he already committed to before (because he already got his big break) - it was trashed and 2moon2 needed to start from 0. You might not think of it as big deal - but there were whole crew of actors who lost their jobs thank to him, having their schedule suddenly free with a bad reputation around the last show they stared in. How he didn't get sued and still able to work is just beyond me.

Why not? Thiefs also needs love ;) Not every main character need to be good person - but if they offered them redbull in very - 2000 manner - "Redbull Gives You Wings" - it would really bring some life to this show... Anyway - don't try Our Days ( 4 ep. just aired) it give very - I am in coma - feel...
Usually a series starts of kinda rocky and then gets better after a few episodes... This series started off kind…
I kinda agree with you, i remember after ep. 1 i couldn't understand how it make sense to have so many flashbacks in one episode, after the third one i was like - Really? Again? If you need so many flashbacks, maybe you should change the way you want to tell this story.. Episode 2 was also messily edited, making me confused at times what is happening but i pushed it all on limited time with too much info to share. Anyway, it clearly become better with each episode till it totally dropped in recent episodes again... Not sure if it's true but on discord, there was some information that some storyline and plot direction changed mid-filming... so maybe your comment "the only copy of the script was put through the paper shredder and then they tried to past it back together, some parts fit, others don't" - isn't too far off...
As for Dome - what you wrote is the ideal outcome - but Dome action is more realistic because people always try to protect themself, even if its kinda cowardly... Going out with girl you don't have feelings for, being confused about his sexuality, maybe not even realizing at first his attraction toward Vee, while tasting boundaries till Vee put stop to it. I also got the impression that he never had proper break-up talk with Vee sister and just avoided her till she get the message or took another easy way out.
I also agree with going/ not going to japan storyline - does this couple have no other conversation? - it's like screenwriters squeezed their whole relationship to this one point...
Overall I really like script of this drama - it gives this realistic feel about the struggles of growing up and relationships... but it would really improve if they changed the actor who play Fah - he suck off all the life from the main pairing...

Only watched "Love Area" from this two titles - i wouldn't call it train wrack but it definitely have sedative quality about it - it also really help you with falling asleep fast.
I agree.. I think he is a bad actor.. sad part is he is the most experienced of the cast.. but it doesn't show
I wouldn't call him the worst actor i seen but he definitely can't be called good. In 10 - 40min episodes i didn't see single scene where his performance could be called great. When he was still kinda depressed and cold in beginning episodes it was still passable but when he got more screen time and needed to show some emotional range - it just become plain bad. It's really a pity because Fah and Torn story line and script is good ... but actor suck all the life from it...
Well from what i heard this series supposed to have 16 episodes originally, and it was still filmed when ep.1 come out... it make you think - when budget cuts and changes were made...
But its one-person show for main couple - i don't think i saw even one person who connected to this story from Fah perspective.
