It has but don't expect too much. It is definitely a Bl, not just a bromance but the Bl is not the main focus.

Don't be scared—it is a decent series. It is not an 8.8 one, but it is definitely watchable. For the love of me, I don't know why it has a higher rating than almost all other BLs (except for I Feel You Linger in the Air), but it is not a bad series. It may be messy, but it is fun and entertaining.

Yep! From the beginning when I saw how long it was supposed to be I knew it won't work. Ok for the Rain/Payu storyline, there wasn't much there but for Prapai/Sky just no. You can't even say it is rushed it is more than that. They skipped so much building up that love story, yet they still put in the diary scene, which didn't work for me. Not to mention why the bad guy showed up out of nowhere is a mystery. For me, there are only two ways for this type of adaptations to work. You either make a loyal adaptation to the original through your country's distinct voice or you commit to take the general idea behind the story and change a lot of it or at least change most of the parts. Here they cut most of the story but what the yleft they recreated the original scenes down to the clothing and it just annoys the fans of the original.

I don't know if they are watching the whole show but I saw pictures of the two casts in Japan for the premiere and promotion. I am sure they have seen at least part of it.

From what I have heard from YouTube channels Chinese dramas need at the very least 6 months after filming is finished.

It is not perfect, but it is a comforting watch. There is no fantasy element, and the plot is actually parallel to UWMA, so you see it through Win and Team's eyes, at least to some extent. Just a warning though if you are a stickler for the little things Win's hair is changing color constantly due to filming schedules and some people find that annoying.

If the pacing of the second couple is weird to you, there is a second season called Between Us about Win and Team if you are interested.

This series was mentioned together with Kiseki part 1 ( not the Taiwanese one) after the end of the Venus in the Sky series, but shortly afterward, Cheque, who was supposed to be in both with Tod, withdrew saying he wasn't paid, so from there, it is in Limbo.

I don't think he was in love with her or at least he didn't realize he was and when he found out the kidnapping happened it hit him hard that he could have lost her.

Same!!! It has been a long time since I have been so invested in a show. I can't wait for the next episode!

You don't have to be from South Korea to understand how important this award is. My country doesn't have Nobel laureates, but recently, we had a Booker winner, and it is such an honor and pride for the whole country. By the way, there isn't an unimportant Nobel Prize. Yes, people are reading less and less, but this is why we should encourage them to read and not make fun of authors and books.

I would watch that hoping they won't do cruel intentions/Dangerous Liaisons I will cry my eyes out.

You do realize that both The Heart Killers and 10 Things I Hate About You are based on The Taming of the Shrew right. Kant's brother was even reading it in the first episode.

This part is fine a bit too short for me but I do like the actor especially Arashi he was perfectly chosen. I don't know if you are watching Doku Koi: Doku mo Sugireba Koi to Naru but I recommend it. It is a mature longer Japanese BL and it is great.

Ahhhh so the opposite of me. I am not the biggest fan of Japanese bls. Here is the reason why I would complain about this series is the length. Japanese bls like Korean ones tend to be shorter and in my opinion, adapting Thai once seems difficult. It is all about personal taste of course but as a really big fan of the original, I miss all the things that were cut and all the extra time we got to spend with the characters. This is why there are complaints I remember watching it in real time and loving it and I also can see why you like this version. I would love to know what people love about this version but at the same time, fans of the original too have the right to say what they don't like. I can complain about it and yet still find a thing that is good about it.

May I ask if you have seen the Thai version?

Well, it isn't either a bad or exactly happy ending more of an open one. Honestly, it is ready for season 2.

The drama is good but if you don't like an antihero main lead it is not for you. If you have seen Death's Game or something like that try it. Definitely not a bad series but for me the ending was a bit of a meh.

I don't know what other people think but for me, 2024 was a year full of many good BLs. Where previous years would have a few notable ones 24 has had quite a few. Kidnap is a good BL. Is it the best probably not but good nonetheless. I did expect a bit more from it but I also understand that GMMTV series are generally sanitized to a degree. The most important thing though is that Ohm and Leng were great together and I wish them all the best hoping to see them in another series. By the way, Leng reminds me a lot of PP Krit.

Also, you can easily watch season two without season 1 it is a kind of soft reboot
