Eh. I thought the first two eps were slow. They could have done all that backstory and set up in one episode. They rehash things and draw out the scenes too long for a sit-comy show. But the leads are likeable (as actors, even when the characters are not). It's got some decent comedic moments. Will be more interesting once the BL kicks in.
Not bad, but just not holding my interest. I like the Handsome Gardener, but find the ghost family too stiff (i'm sure they are directed to be this way). It's all a little flat and slow. DROPPED
Like the brothers and Bua, but not really interested in the rest. Very over the top like most soap opera/lakorn. The evil second wife is bordering on ridiculous. The setting is unique and an interesting time to set a LGBTQ+ story (although that seems to be a VERY small portion of this overall story). I don't think I can sit through the melodrama and soap opera elements, so I'll probably drop and wait for a BL edit.
I was kinda bored by the end of the first ep. Felt like they could have cut that in half and I still would have gotten what I needed for backstory. Editing needs to be tightened up A LOT. I'll give it one more ep and see, but it would really have to pick up the plot and pacing to keep me interested beyond that.
I'm still convinced that Thua and not Chadok took Ayan's notebook. I'm not sure why, but for me it wasn't a coincidence…
I agree. This is first and foremost a BL, with mystery elements. That's why I forgive the mis-steps in the mystery plotting. I know it wasn't top of mind when they were writing. But it does add a nice flavor and new element to a BL. I'm not in any way saying this is a great series, but for a BL I appreciate what they're TRYING to do. Let's face it, if BL writers were great writers, they probably wouldn't be writing BL shows.
Eh. I was kinda bored for most of it. Even the sex scene was uninteresting. Neither of the min characters were interesting or compelling. Two arrogant, entitled narcissists. Yawn. I'll give it one more ep, but I'm not expecting too much.
I liked this one quite a lot. Different and unique story. Thought the acting was strong. Moon Ji Yong is incredibly charismatic.
At first I had trouble wrapping my head around it... but then I just went with the fantasy of it. I was glad they didn't romanticize the ending and kept the tragedy as it was. It would have been too schmaltzy otherwise.
But the actual ending confused me to no end. I'm not certain how you go back 15 years twice. When he exited the building, it was Jan 30, 2022. That's why he couldn't get back into the building. The friend shows up and gives him the "will". But then he shows up again a few days earlier, as in the first episode. I know I'm missing something, but I just can't figure it out.
It wasn't the most compelling series ever. But I enjoyed it and would recommend it.
