this was a little cute enjoyable BL drama. honestly the only critique I have is that they ‘skipped’ some scenes (like they would talk about what had happened instead of showing it) but it was only a few times and I don’t really mind that much. overall it was a pleasant series that was pretty interesting

just rewatched this and it was better the second time… KengNamping and TleFirstone are amazing!!!🤍🩷🤍🩷🤍the series really felt different after getting to know more about the CPs

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TLE!!!🤍🤍🤍🎂🎂🎉

WIth my comment on how similar things were, I was just stating the similar points that I had found and that I didn’t like that. This is entirely my opinion btw. I also didn’t watch the 2018. version, but both series LUAT and Love Destiny (series and novel) are not the first time traveling love story, nor wil it be the last. Many novels and screenwriters recycle similar if not the same material. All I was hoping for was the Love Destiny didn’t appear nor feel like a retelling of a previously and already aired series.

About my comment on the actor. It was simply an observation. Having the same actor in, as you say both BL remakes of the same novel, does make it more difficult to not compare the two series. And as you have stated and I have learned from you, both being series versions/adaptations of the novel, make it even more difficult to not compare them. In the end, I (emphasis on I) was just looking for something new and fresh this year, something that hadn’t already been done, but Love Destiny (TO ME) delivered the same story in a boring retelling of it.

===============================================
Idk how my opinion and feelings on this series can stir up so much emotion and anger from you, but this is enough. If you have an issue with my review and my views on this series then ignore it, there is no reason for you to come complain to me. I have my right to share my thoughts as do you, except mine weren’t directed at anyone, just the show, but now you are creating an issue. First you called me entitled and now you are stating some of my views are ridculous. With the review, I was simply voicing my thoughts on the series that I was watching, if the shows means this much to you, then by all means, continue to watch it and support it becasue that has nothing to do with me.

I will admit that I originally didn’t know about the novel, but that doesn’t make my review any less true. LUAT aired first and executed their plot better. You don’t have to agree with my opinion, but that doesn’t mean you can shoot mine down either. You have every right to love Love Destiny without my opinion and thoughts interfering with your love and enjoyment for the series, so please don’t make an issue. If my thoughts don’t align with yours, then just ignore them and move on.

lmao 😂😂

I am not trying to argue with you. Sure you can say that Love Destiny the novel came out first, but then LUAT executed the story better then Love Destiny the Series. Even if the Novel came out first, the series versions are never the exact same. The production team always takes creative decisions / changes, and therefore both series are an exact replica. I have never read the novel, so I am basing this assumption on every other novel-series remake I have watched in the past (from KBLs, CBLs, and TBLs). I don’t expect Love Destiny to change for LUAT, I am saying that production and release wise, from a production team perspective, that releasing a series that is very similar and according to you, both based on the same novel, that is not the best idea, airing wise. I am not acting entitled, I am simply stating that it was an unwise decision.

If you are discussing originality then neither series has it since the original story and plot come from a novel, where the production team definitely made changes to it to suit their intended version of the series versions.


Look you can like or love Love Destiny, that is entirely up to you and I have no right to argue you about that.

If Love Destiny wanted to release its series in the same year as LUAT, only months apart, then they should have changed the general storyline / structure some more. I would have like to have seen a more different version with their interpretations and creativity

LUAT can’t be made similar to Love Destiny when LUAT came out first. And I definitely know that LUAT isn’t the first time travel love series, trust me I know, I have been watching dramas for 8-10 years now, I have bascially seen every trope possible, however I am talking about the execution of each series intended plots and their versions of the original storyline. While I didn’t know their was a straight version, I doubt that was hte first time travel love story either. I am simply stating how both Love Destiny and LUAT took a time travel love plot, and LUAT far succeeded in their version, while Love Destiny was lackluster and boring in theirs. I am not acting like LUAT was the first ever time travel love story, however, to release Love Destiny in the same year as LUAT, there are definitely going to be comparisons between the two. LUAT did better in acting, storyline, production, cinemotography, intamicy, just everything in general. LUAT was clear and its plot was structured, while leaving just the right amount of unknown and mystery, Love Destiny sadly fails in its production and the story (or its version of it). This is by no means hate to any of the actors, this is simply my critique of the series and the overall production.

couldn’t agree more… I can definitely imagine how much worse it gets for the side couples in LD haha. there really wasn’t the balance between the couples of LD, like LUAT did with its two pairings. Even though they both follow the same general outline but their different interpretations of it, LUAT succeeded in its version. I was sad to let this series go, but it just didn’t live up to mine or your expectations :(

thank you

where can I start watching this?

loved the new EP… this show is sailing strong and I hope it stays that way. Thomas cameo killed me, he is too funny 😂. and Wan is the cutest ever. OMG he is absolutely adorable, when his sister tripped him just AHAHHHHHH HE IS TOO CUTE.

>that ending… Nine istg if you don’t leave wan alone 👀👀but at least we got third looking at Wan

Ohhhh Myyyyy GOshhhhhhhh PLEASE like SOMEBODY! ANYBODY!!! we all hate that fucker

EP 10 Reiview ( thoughts mainly )
***SPOLIERS AHEAD!!!!!!***

I’ll talk about Jet, Dan, and our two Janes.

=====================================

First off, with Jet, why did it seem like everyone (his family mostly) just forgave him / forgot about his GIGANTIC fucking mistake that COST THEM THEIR HOUSE. Like I understand forgiveness and having to move on, but doesn’t that seem way too quick. NO one from his family yelled at him, scolded him even. Not his parents for defending themselves and yelling at Jet for making false claims that they prevented his dreams. Not Little Jane angry that once again, because of Jet, they have to ask Big Jane for help or that Jet once again asked Big Jane for help, even though they all know whomever Big Jane helps doesn’t always end up ok / even alive. NO ONE is yelling at the immature spoiled brat fucker. LIke come onnnnnnnn. seriously people???!!!!!!!!??!?

Jet does sort of grow / develop in terms that he has finally acknowledged and realized that his older brother Little Jane has sacrificed so much for his siblings. And that Little Jane gave up on his dream for Jet’s dream. Which Jet completely wasted and threw away because of his stupidity and lack of intelligence. He finally wants to make it right to his older brother who has dug him out of every mess, including every MAJOR money issue that Jet seems to keep creating for himself which keeps backfiring on the family.

===============================

Now for the Janes. I am pissed off at Little Jane. This little biotch can’t seem to make up his fucking mind. Like do you want to be with BIg Jane or not? If you do, put in some fucking effort into the relationship, or if you don’t make a clean break so our lovely Big Jane can move on. Little Jane is the BLACK FLAG and BIG JANE at most is a YELLOW FLAG (**my opinion**) Big Jane deserves someone who doesn’t just love him, but truly wants to be with him and fight for him and the life they have together. Little Jane keeps running away and pushing Big Jane away at every chance he gets. This push / pull dynamic is getting old and shouldn’t even be here at EP 10!!!!. Like we are at EP 10 and he is still like this. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

(side note: did anyone else feel like they are not ready to be married? Like they don’t seem to be at a healthy point in their relationship to take that next step?? Maybe just me??

=================================================

Now onto the most infuriating little shit of a character, Dan. This fucker is the densest, blindest, most self-centered, socially unaware fucker to ever exist. He hasn’t learned or realized that Little Jane doesn’t love him, has never loved him, and only got together with him to get back at Big Jane. After 5+ years he still doesn’t realized that he was being used, like seriously dude, give the fuck up. I need Big Jane to punch this fucker. Also Dan wouldn’t still be in the picture if Little Jane just made it more clear and pushed Dan away instead of Big Jane, the one he acutallly loves. Dan GO THE FUCK AWAYYYYY!!!!! no one asked you to be here, to help, or to show up. just disappear. Stop causing trouble for BIg Jane because you have some unresolved grudges towards Big Jane for reason I don’t even understand anymore. Dan just hates BIg Jane and wants everyone and everything around BIg Jane to be his, like clearly we can all see your jealously. At the end of EP 10, Dan if you don’t let Little Jane go back to his man, imma beat the shit out of you. DON”T YOU DARE take advantage of his amnesia to get with him because that is fucked up. and Big Jane, go punch him and beat him up for us and claim back your man.

==============================

Quick overall note about production / script: I feel like this series would have been a lot better if we got time stamps / how long each time skip was (in addition to the big 5 year one). Since this series is extremely fast paced, it would make the audience understand more of the relationships and how deep each bond is to see how much time has passed. For example, like to see how much time passed between Little and Big Jane’s first meeting to when they liked each other and got together. Or how long after their breakup did little Jane get with Dan and how long they were together for. Cause right now it seems like there was no time at all which just makes all of their actions feel more impulsive and thrown out there since they are sort of doing it for a person they don’t know ish. (IDK if i made sense there, but oh well hehe)

Ok that’s the end, thanks :)

I think it might be you, mine still works. Try refreshing the app maybe??

you are welcome😊… I’m glad to know that I’m not alone in my thoughts 😅😂

This is just my thoughts after watching EP 9… so this may be a little all over the place

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!!!!!

First off, Jane and Jane, just AHHHHHHAAHAH. I have a love hate relationship with them. I love them but my god are they both infuriating. From the beginning, for me at least, their relationship went really fast and felt like they skipped some steps in their love story (could have been a production thing). They both have many many flaws, but they still choose to love each other, except their relationship is an example of “love isn’t enough to stay together and be together”. Let’s start with Big Jane. Since ep 1, he was a mysterious figure who ended up loving and pursing little Jane because little Jane was someone who didn’t ask BIg Jane for help and always acted for himself, friends, and family. Little Jane didn’t like taking the easier way out. However, BIg Jane knows this about him and he always throws his money, power, and influence at every problem that Little Jane or his family (Mainly Jet) faces. While I understand that Big Jane is doing this out of love and care, he should have learned by now not to do that when dealing with Jet’s idol scandal. Didn’t he learn after Jet’s gambling incident???? To me, Big Jane never seemed to open up or be entirely honest or vulnerable with little Jane (this goes for both of them really), which led to many issues infuriating issues between them. I’m like JUST F-ING TALK TO EACH OTHER!!!!!! but you know, its a red flag BL, communication is thrown out the window. Big Jane fights everyone else to be in a relationship with Litle Jane, but won’t fight Little Jane to be in said relationship. What I mean is that he doesn’t argue or voice his anger towards Little Jane, especially in the recent ep when Lil Jane was moving out of his mansion and kept distancing himself and pushing Big Jane away, again, like he always does with a problem arises. Overall, I just need Big Jane to talk and communication honestly, not with the multi level answer BS or withholding the truth isn’t the same of lying type of scenario, and to STOP THROWING AROUND HIS MONEY. Like we get it, you are rich and can solve problems, but clearing your boyfriend doesn’t like to solve problems that way. Like he could have breached every money incident much calmer and gentler.

Now onto little Jane ( the true black flag of this series, I stand by this ). Little Jane has so many problems, but his main problems: communication, decisiveness,and his “love” / burden of his family. ( i put quotes because its a mix ish of love … maybe .. and an obsessive need to provide ). Little Jane needs to communicate and talk about his feelings more because all he seems to do is either be loving and cutesy, lashing out because he couldn’t handle something, distancing himself from everyone, and never establishing any boundaries. OK, so basically, Little Jane fell way too fast for both Big Jane and Dan, because what do you mean he just found a man, dumped him, found another, then dumped him to back to the first, only to dump him again and regret it 5 years later. LIKE WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like he needs to make a fucking decision, either love someone and be together, which means fighting through the though shit and problems or not be together and call it a fucking day. Like dude, what are we thinking here???????? He doesn’t talk to Big Jane about his problems, issues, or when he wants Big Jane to clarify something about the shady shit he does. and little Jane had obvious hints that Big Jane’s Faver Business was shady and unsafe, yet he stil kept asking and pushing to know everything only to be angry about it and not accept it. Like he hates the business Big Jane does, but won’t stay away from him??? make that make sense. Little Jane always switches so drastically his mindset with Big Jane, like he needs to understand that Big Jane wants to help and that punishing both of them, by moving out at the end of ep 9, isn’t going to fucking solve anything. I understand that he feels ashamed to have asked Big Jane for help again for Jet, but don’t hurt the man who just helped you by doing what you asked. Like his shame and self anger isn’t Big Jane’s problem, so why push it onto him.

More on little Jane, now with his family. From the entirety of the series, all his familial relationships are fine and mostly healthily. He loves his parents and his siblings and wants to take care of everyone, ok so he is a good son and older brother. But then all of a sudden ep 9 switched it all up and made it seem like Little Jane was scrificing everything for his family, mainly his relationship. Little Jane is so concerned about taking care of his family ALONE and BY HIMSELF with as little help as possible that he is willing to make it an even bigger problem. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes he is understandable, he has always been a. character who doesn’t like asking for help and wants to solves everything on his own, but dude, you can clearly see that Jet’s situation is a major issue that you can’t solve on your own. For crying out loud, you couldn’t fix the 2.5 million baht gambling issue by yourself, idk why you think you can solve a 10 million baht scandal by yourself. Like dude, be fucking realistic here and ask your boyfriend for help, then work to pay him off, like duhhhhhh, who said that Big Jane had to give you money for free. Like you already work as his secretary and nanny, just CONTINUE DOING JUST FUCKING THAT, like why aren’t we thinking here people!!!!!????!?! Finally little Jane just needs to be decisive. Like fucking decide AND COMMIT. Do you want to be in a relationship with Big Jane? Yes or NO? Do you want to Big Jane’s help? Yes or No? Why do we keep letting Dan try to involve himself in your life??? (make a clean break for everything’s sake URGGHGH) Do you have to help Jet???? ABSOLUTELY THE FUCK NOT, let that spoiled ungrateful fucking ass brat rot in fucking PRISON.

Now imma talk about my absolute hatred for Jet, the most ungrateful little shit of a little brother to fucking exist. Jet has to be the stupidest person alive becasue every major issue that affects EVERYONE starts with this fucker. ( Now you can argue that little Jane starts issues, but at least he keeps the concequences to himself, not a domino effect of everyone around him ). IDK what jet was on this episode, but he is fucking delusional. First off, when and why did he start to hate his older brother? Like what fucking right does he have to do that, little Jane saved his stupid ass from loan sharks who were going to beat and kill him b/c of his debt. When did he view his brother as a loser??? Does a loser do whatever it takes to provide for his family and to let his younger siblings pursue what they want? Does a loser save your ass from 2.5 million baht debt? Does a loser still love his little brother despite all the shit consequences that came from saving his stupid ass??? And Jet still hasn’t learned to not fuck around with Big Jane. Like idiot, let’s not involve Big Jane. And all of a sudden he hates his parents for supposedly keeping him from pursuing his dream of being an idol. since when??? cause from what I’ve seen they have always supported you. They let you practice dancing, they let you go to auditions, they let you do all this, and the only thing they wanted was for you to have a Chinese medicine degree to have a fallback plan in-case you didn’t become an idol. like it wasn’t their fault you weren’t passing the audition, but they made sure you have something to do if that didn’t work. No one in your family was stopping you, in fact, EVERYONE WAS SUPPORTING YOU AND YOUR DREAM. Like how far was your head up your ass that you couldn’t see how much your parents and older brother supported you and wanted you to succeed????? And Jet, you need to FUCKING APOLOGISE to your older brother and family. Stop running to little Jane whenever you have a problem or to BIg Jane (side note: both Janes please learn to say no). Jet has caused this massive change to his entire families lives and he hasn’t acknowledged ANYTHING. Maybe next ep?? All he does is cry and beg litle Jane and Big Jane for help without having any idea what it means and how it affects them. He cries and begs and whines and complains? Also how does dating MULTIPLE GIRLS at the same time equal being your dream and being an idol. You said being an idol was your dream, didn’t fucking think that involved dating multiple girls at the same time. You were an inconsiderate and unloyal player who broke your idol contract and have to pay for the violation or be sued and go to jail. Like dude, go to fucking prison and take up that debt yourself, so dumping it onto your older brother to solve everyone problem that you run into and CREATED IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!

Anyways that’s everything, thanks to anyone who listened / read through this, I know it is a lot hehe

literally this… it feels like they filmed the entire series out of order (which they do), but didn’t think to edit to and put the show together… they seriously needed someone ANYONE to watch the series before they aired it … ahhhhhh😭😭

I’m as frustrated and confused as you are. With ep 6, they basically said that Phatsa father hid the truth from his son and never informed him, but ain’t no way that is the reason… cuz he had been alive for 20+ years and lived in the world separate from him father for years and nothing?? knows ABSOULTELY NOTHING about ABO???? Imma just ignore this gigantic inconsistency and call it a day😂😅

Ep 6 was a definite upgrade from the previous 5 episodes. There was actually a story and things IMPORTANT THINGS happened, like finallyyyyy. I wished they had this in the previous eps, but it’s already done, I can only hope for the rest of the eps to be better.
