I don't know why this series isn't more popular, but i love it so far.
The first episode was really bad. I dropped the show for a while because of how bad the pilot was and only picked it back up once I saw more positive comments about it. The first episode of this show is imo its worse episode, and that's unfortunate because it's usually the first episode that makes people decide whether to watch a show or not.
This was lining up to be one of my favorite BLs ever, and then they had to pull this crap. I don't want nothing to do with anything else the writers responsible for this make because clearly they can't be trusted.
Why do they look like they got one foot in the grave? Whoever did their makeup needs to be jailed for the crimes they committed on Holland and Gi Chan's beautiful faces.
I don't know about this - it doesn't make a lot of sense. So reapers are invisible unless they're wearing Hawaiian…
"I don't know about this - it doesn't make a lot of sense. So reapers are invisible unless they're wearing Hawaiian shirts? "
They're likely following the same rules for reapers like the ones in the Kdrama Goblin. In that show and likely this one, Reapers are only invisible when they are wearing their "uniform." In Goblin, the uniform was a suit and black hat, in this show it's the black outfit they were wearing. The reaper was surprised Prakan could see him because he was in his uniform which is essentially like an invisibility cloak, but otherwise the reapers can be seen.
The writer(s) who made this show really do not understand the concept of show not tell at all. I should not feel like I'm sitting in a (boring) lecture because you're spending what feels like ages introducing characters.
The whole conversation about him being a picky eater should have been cut or at least edited. they could have shortened it to the friends saying how annoying it is that he's a picky eater and telling him to pick the restaurant, and then followed that up with the scene of him looking at the other chefs' foods uninterested until he saw the MC's, and that would have gotten the same point across in half the time. That entire dialogue was not necessary besides it filling up time.
I really think Thai BLs would be so much better if their creators were limited to 30 minutes max because them having 43+ minutes isn't cutting it. This obviously doesn't apply to every show, but many of them, and especially this one.
People are saying they are disappointed only because it has a somber air and hence takes more patience to settle…
Agreed. I think another reason people feel differently about this adaptation is because while Semantic Error took some creative liberties, it still mostly closely followed the source material, especially the manhwa, but this show seems more like they took the characters from the manhwa and then created something that's almost entirely different from the original story iirc.
It's been a while since I've read Cherry Blossoms, but I don't remember the camping scene, Hae Bom working at a flower shop, or their friends knowing they lived together so soon. I also don't think they told their friends that they liked each other until they were already dating and and in college. cmiiw.
I personally love this show, but I can understand why some people who expected it to follow the manhwa could be disappointed by it.
I'm sad it's over, but I'm glad they didn't drag it out unnecessarily. They really paced this show so well. No moment or scene felt wasted or like filler to me. Usually I'm skipping through so much, but everything mattered in this, and if it didn't, they cut it out. Jaechan and Seoham definitely deserve praise, and so too does everyone involved in creating this masterpiece from the other actors, to the director and scriptwriter(s), to the lighting team and other staff and the editor(s). Everyone did their part to make this show so special and I'm really appreciative. I hope they're all really proud of themselves and what they've created.
Perfect 10/10 from me. Even though it's short and doesn't really follow the plot of novel/manhwa, but the chemistry,…
Agreed, and I really like the changes they made from the manhwa. I think if they'd followed it too closely, it would have stifled them creatively. I especially love what they did with Ryu Ji Hye's character.
Was the cute customer with blonde hair in ep 5 a member of Dongkiz also when they made cameos?
The male customer with brunette hair and the person who played their waiter are DONGKIZ members. The customer is the maknae of the group Jonghyeong, and the waiter is Kyoungyoon.
This episode was so intense; there was barely a moment to take and breath, and the moment there was, something else happened. I'm loving this show so much. My only complaint is I hate that I have to wait a week for new episodes. If I'd known that this show was going to be this good, I would have waited until it finished airing so that I could binge watch it. I'm mad the trailers gave me such low expectations. The waiting is tortuous.
