The "crisis" has just begun. If the series follows reality, what was shown in episode 3 is just the tip of the iceberg. Right now, Little Jane is squirming out of the love bombing trap Big Jane was snapping shut. His survival instincts are kicking in, but he's not fighting for himself, yet. He's struggling because of the things that he was told Big Jane was doing to others and what he heard and saw Big Jane saying and doing to his friend. Big Jane has yet to pull out the big guns of manipulation and outright control and aimed them directly at Little Jane. The crisis is going to ramp up when Big Jane realizes that Little Jane is fully willing and capable of freeing himself from the trap.
Things are starting to get really interesting indeed ! As usual the acting of the MLs (and Put) is great. But…
Regrettably, I can share, from experience, that when love bombing is combined with intense sexual attraction, things move very fast. A true, healthy connection doesn't have time to build, but it feels as though it has-- everything is heightened and it's hard to think rationally. By the time you begin to come to your senses and the dominoes begin to fall as rapidly as the faux connection was built, you're already mired in the engineered relationship and the person who enacted the love bombing, as a control tactic, makes it very difficult to untangle yourself. That's when the gaslighting and guilt-tripping begins, and things spiral out of control, sometimes dangerously.
Sadly, what they're showing in this series is very close to reality.
Same. I’m dropping the series after ep 4. I understand he’s just a country bumpkin and he only knows how to…
His lack of a personality can't be blamed on the country bumpkin aspect, as his sister is overly vivacious. Clearly, his mother is very emotionally manipulative and treats him like his life is only worthwhile to get his family's needs met, but come on! His character being so weak makes me dislike the other character who's supposed drawn to him. Why is he drawn to him!? Is it because he'd a limp doormat? Ugh.
one thing about GMMTV shows in general.... they don't need 10 to 12 episodes.. 8 episodes is enough to tell a…
I agree. This could have been 8 episodes-- maybe 10. 12 is far too many. Episodes 8 & 9 could easily have been trimmed down to one episode. Same with 6 & 7.
Nope. Just no. Episode 4 depicted a level of patheticness in a character I cannot willingly stomach. I started skipping and fast-forwarding scenes, just to get the episode over with as fast as possible, which is a very bad sign. I am dropping this series with the same level of decisiveness as the ever-present down-turned mouth of the main character.
Please check the definition of toxic. Use this word only when absolutely necessary. This word will eventually…
🤣🤣🤣 Your comment genuinely made me laugh.
Yes, people like me see things through rose-tinted glasses. I am optimistic and naive and I only see the best in life and people; somehow, I am also uptight while being pansexual and accepting of most sexual practices that would make the vast majority of people blush bright scarlet red just hearing about them, much less attempting to practice them. I have been sheltered from the rigors of life and I have never experienced anything that would make others piss themselves or cry themselves to sleep in devastation.
If this is what you need to believe, child, to retain justification for your opinion, then you have my permission to do so.
i cant be the only one bothered that a woman getting hit is justified by "she cheated and stole his money"…
I do appreciate that Little Jane found Big Jane disturbing for that type of reasoning. That was the moment when Little Jane knew that Big Jane was no good, no matter how handsome or how he tried to convince Little Jane.
Why are so many of you defending Big Jane? What about my little Jane ðŸ˜? Listen, ik you guys think Little Jane…
I agree with you, entirely.
Big Jane's behaviors, especially when Little Jane isn't looking directly at him or isn't in his presence, points to someone who is problematic. I keep remembering how he stared at Little Jane with frustration and anger during their Valentine's meal, when Little Jane didn't want to spend the night with him. That's not someone who reads as trustworthy nor emotionally healthy. He also keeps pushing Little Jane's boundaries and is constantly love bombing him and gaslighting him.
I'm enjoying the Big Jane character, but never for a second do I perceive him as anything other than unhealthy and dangerous, and while it would ruin the drama, I would prefer for Little Jane to stay at least a hundred feet away from him at all times.
The viewers who are blaming Little Jane for his very understandable behavior in this story are worrisome. I keep thinking, 'These people have very weak boundaries and the survival instincts of mollusks. Hopefully, they're simply too young and inexperienced to know better.'
Its not that deep lol.the ai thing they use only for the intro but the rest not
Externals at 3:57 and 12:51 were the same. The one at 24:27 is different. Whether they're the same shots, used repetitively or not, is not relevant. The fact that they ARE being used is the point of contention.
Just to be clear: I may be annoyed by the use of AI when other means could be employed, but I pick my battles; because, this is South Korea we're talking about. Almost every single actor on the screen has had plastic surgery procedures, as this is the norm in the industry (it's the same in many countries, by the way, not just South Korea-- they get a lot of flack, but the U.S., China, and Thailand are just as bad). It seems silly, at this point, to take umbrage with AI generated scenes when we're already appreciating engineered human faces.
The same AI slop images are all over Chinese dramas and I've been seeing them in Thai dramas. I don't watch a lot of U.S., European, African, and Latin American dramas, but I'm sure this is a practice that's being implemented worldwide.
I am relieved to not see a product placement every other scene, as those moments always cheapen the series for…
I don't blame those production companies for doing what they determine is necessary, but I'm not going to pretend I like seeing blatant advertisements for products I wouldn't touch in a million years. I, personally, abhor the tactic, and it's a significant part of my motivation for moving away from watching Thai media. I return to watch the series that primarily avoid this marketing gimmick. Bonus: the productions that keep that marketing gimmick to a bare minimum, also usually have better production quality, overall. Better acting, directing, writing, cinematography, and score. I'll take limited high quality productions over cheaply produced quantity every single time.
It's great that there are some series available on YouTube for those who want to be able to enjoy the genre. I don't watch series on YouTube because I know they're going to have a product placement moment shoehorned in what seems to be every 10 - 15 minutes. Boooooo!

In episode 6, alone, there were 3:
@ 3:57 min
@ 12:51 min
@ 24:27 min
Our opinions may differ on the funding strategy, but we're in full accord on our love for these types of dramas; so, win-win!
