I absolutely adore Inn's moles! I am so glad someone mentioned it :D

About the preview, did Tin just show his dad the imaginary middle finger and ditched him for Phob? Dad's dumb idea to reign in Tin was to threaten him with Phob's life? Yeah, he doesn't know his son lol

Vaseline really needs to stfu and do something actually useful. I wonder how Tin's mom was because obviously he didn't take after his moron father.

It was really hard to concentrate at times because Phob rocked those suits. My eyes were blessed, like wow, sir, I honestly at point was loudly gushing over him. Also, Ongsa gave us a great performance while serving looks in that black outfit. He is so amazingly natural, I can't explain, like he just adds something real to his acting. And btw Inn is so talented too, I need to mention him too because if last week was Ongsa's standout performance, Inn took this week's. Just a ton of subtle facial expressions. Love, love, love how talented both of them are.

This is your sign to start watching it! :D

An epic love story deserves a happy ending. Life is depressing enough. I never got the realistic ending argument and I don't think I ever will. These characters are such good people that deserve the best possible outcome which is a happily ever after.

I can't stop thinking about this drama ughh. About the sad or happy ending debate, my two cents.

They never really had a chance to truly be together. First Phob was a slave and Tin a prince, they were young and forcefully separated, they could do nothing at that time. After the time skip, Phob might have climbed the ranks but they still had to hide just to spend some time together, even if they ran away, it never would have worked. They would have had to live in hiding. For the third time they can have the chance to truly be on the same level both status, experience and world view. It HAS to be a happy ending of them finally being able to love, otherwise we would have gotten episode 9's ending as the finale.

Don't forget Ongsa's ost lyrics:

"No matter how distant the path, or how long we must endure
It may feel like an eternity, as if the dream will never come true
But true love, I still believe it will conquer all
And I believe that day will be beautiful enough to wait for."

OMG I loved this episode! I think I need to re-watch it tomorrow my tears were flowing and I couldn't concentrate at times, my emotions were everywhere. To me, this drama is getting better and better, really amazing character moments are happening.

The first half of ep. 9 I was scared that we are getting the "Phob was wrong and poor royals" special. That type of black and white writing is so juvenile. Tin is so great and smart, it would have been a waste to just end his arc with him not seeing snd experiencing the other side of the argument. We got something that I am really vibing with, which is everything happens for a reason and even if life knocks you down, it is okay to feel bad for a while but you gotta pick yourself up because great things will happen. I was so happy granny has a similar idea of life and taught it to Tin.

Phob is going through it as well. I loved that he was watching Tin from afar, that was amazingly directed. Though I didn't believe for a second that he would ever let him out of his sight and would have no idea about Tin becoming a teacher. That was the only thing I was side eyeing.

The ending convo between them.. so amazingly done, Tin has grown so much. Phob really needed to hear it from Tin that his sacrifice did help some people. Phob not stopping Tin was really wise and shows his love AND growth from an earlier scene in this episode where he naively wanted to continue the relationship like nothing has happened. At the end he knew now is not time yet, there is more healing to be done. They can't continue where this relationship ended but they can have a new start with more life experience and maturity.

I think we are getting a happy ending. At least I hope so. Probably not everyone will survive but after all of this, a sad ending would be meaningless.

He was incredibly gracious about it, that is so Thin. I personally feel like there was nothing more Phob could say or do to change Thin's mind. Thin understood his reasoning but it is about his family and no rationality could cut through his unconditional love. Also, Phob hurt him, it is not easy to just accept the apology and move on, it is too fresh.

What I can't wait to see is him going against his father. That needs to happen at some point.

The drama didn't really show much of how bad it is for the citizens, so hopefully we will get to see it through Thin in the next episode. Like the writing is good but I feel like it is mostly empty talk if I don't see the actual situation of what we are fighting against. My heart is gonna hurt but Thin needs to experience it.

The protectiveness I feel over Thin.. I just wanna hide him in my pocket. I genuinely understand him. Phob lied to him and that is the bottom line. On top of that, the consequences of that lie is destroying Thin's family whom he loves some would say way too unconditionally. As for Phob, I understand him too, sometimes we have to make sacrifices for the greater good but he has to live with his decision. He deeply hurt Thin. All in all, I cannot wait to see them back together, enddd this suffering!

Aww thank you! I love it too, TJR looks so ethereal ^^

Such a weird situation because the romance was incredibly lacking imo. I never actually believed that Sun is in love with Jay. While Jay showed way more romantic feelings I am unsure if they will make it. MEANWHILE Toptap and Minlee have electric chemistry. They are great together but the writing failed their characters. What worked in the webtoon, didn't translate on screen.

That actor is so darn terrible in Deep In, it is really hard to keep watching an otherwise interesting drama. He is not even willing to kiss his co-star back and every time he has to emote he has this crazy bugged out eyes. Siwoo is an Emmy winner actor in comparison. He does have his weaker moments but no one can blame him with holding back in the intimate scenes. He goes all out and tries to do well and DOES well most of the drama. He has a ton of potential.

I think it is not released yet but I can't wait to hear the full version!

The ending was rushed and it was definitely not a perfect series but I am giving it a 9/10 because I enjoyed it all the way through and Blind Spot's english version slaps. The characters and the actors grew on me, I hope we will see them in other projects ORRR in season 2..

The chemistry.. I am gonna miss these 2 together so much :(

I think I know what you mean and I understand where you are coming from but because the episodes are short they had to cramp a long novel's story into a few hours. There is not a lot of time to character build sadly, I wish this would have double the air time because you can feel the fast tempo.

The office scene was sexier than the shower scene respectfully. It came straight out of a webtoon. Jeeez

There is a really important thing that Chaeha and Taeseon share and it binds them together. No one will ever understand what Taeseon feels the way Chaeha does. Furthermore Taesaeon had been feeling this intense hatred towards Chaeha for so long just to find out they are suffering both. So that intense feeling never went away just turned to confusion then attraction. Tbh I find Chaeha endearing in a way and he is not dumb and never gave up on life even though everyone treated him badly.

This drama is goated, GOATED. There are really good BLs out there but this one is a rare experience. Someone has commented earlier that the leads are not scared to kiss each other. Idk but you can feel when a performer leaves their inhibitions behind and gives their all versus when they are stiff and it just ruins it for me. My biggest problem with a currently airing BL that I enjoy btw but the intimacy scenes get me out of the drama because I can see the actor doesn't want to kiss a boy.

These two though, I wanna thank the actors and the amazing director for giving us this experience week by week. It is pathetic I guess but this drama genuinely fuels me to go through everyday's motions. It is not just the BL element I enjoy but the story itself and the directing. Ughhhhh I refuse to accept it is ending next week. Is there a potential for S2? Please...

This drama is so good omg Wuyi and Jiayu's relationship is goals already and they are not even together yet. That hug was so satisfying and the writing is good with payoffs!
