Agree on all points! There's just no chemistry & I want there to be!
Preach...that ship had me from the start...felt that shit to my soul LOL I would give my left arm for a season 2. On another note...my complaint has been the choppiness of the scenes. There's no flow from one scene to the other so I'm not sure how the characters could be expected to get into any groove with such sudden changes. People just appear & then there's a few words to explain there appearance & then we're onto the next thing. If they had the chemistry that made me forget & not care about all of the questions & the WTF moments I could definitely latch onto this. I had commented to someone before that because we are talking about a very short period of time that they are on the screen I feel like characters have to grab you immediately. Even if the story line needs some help, the chemistry of the characters can make you not care so much. I hate to put so much pressure on the short series released but it can be done & has been done. Usually the short series are the ones that I have enjoyed the most.
Well the water views are heavenly. Idk. I'm not feeling this....5 episodes in, 70 minutes. IMO there is no chemistry between the ML's. I'm all for quirkiness & a little bit of mystery to a person but I'm not sure I'm understanding enough to even care about these people. I'm sticking around because I really only have about 45 minutes left & I do like Han, but this isn't working for me & I hate that. I've already stated in other posts the issues I have with this show & they haven't changed. Here's hoping with fingers crossed that WYEL gets a season 2!
Yeah but Kuea has been lying about petty shit not monumental life changing issues like your family is losing everything.…
True...but they're not losing it. Lian bought it & then will be transferring it to Kuea. AND Lian wasn't NOT going to tell him. Kuea has never planned to tell Lian anything no matter how petty. He is a child that needs to grow up no matter how he was raised. I've enjoyed the show but his selfish behavior is too immature. He still can only see how things effect him having no care in the world how they effect Lian. The first couple of episodes all they did was show how confident he was & then as soon as he moved in with Lian he became this child that cries over everything. All he wanted was for Lian to love him & I'll be damned if that man hasn't shown & said it every step of the way!
Well that "competition" was an anti-climatic shady sham that served zero purpose...but OK. Moving on...the fact that they set up such sexual tension between Poon & Athip only to have feather "kisses" while one of them acts like he's in high school is driving me mad. It's Hidden Love again & no thanks. On another note...bye bye Amy.
Unpopular Opinion: I thought Theo from Enchante was the most selfish character in a BL series...but Kuea has taken the title! The WORST timing! Ugh!!! I was OK with the first couple of episodes of Kuea lying but there he was having the nerve to be pissy with Lian about Lian not telling him about the deeds when Kuea was lying every second sentence out of his mouth! And not only does Kuea realize the child that he is waaaaaaayyyyyy too late but he selfishly pulls that shite at his future father-in-law's birthday party & embarrasses everyone including poor sap Lian who has been accepting his lies & STILL loves his shady ass?
The chemistry started to show when they finally let the chef smile and giggle at his new partner in ep 3. That…
My Sweet Dear...horrible. I hated it & I hated that I hated it but there was no chemistry between the ML. And Jang was gorgeous in it! I would give my right arm for a WYEL sequel because Jang barely spoke & they were still fire!
Putting that aside, lesser budget/fewer actors is one thing but not having a good story is another. I can get past the shitty makeup but I can't get past the choppy scenes that have no flow. Ep 4...opens with a flashback with a dude we saw for 2 seconds last week...then there are kids in Han's bedroom? Where the hell did these kids come from? Did Holland make them Udon because then the next scene poof they're gone!! And did the girl write the bad review? And like why can't he ever buy enough ingredients? See? This was 15 minutes wrapped into a handful of sentences that have nothing to do with one another & no connection. I'm trying but these basic questions do not require a big budget or more actors or even different ones...it requires content. Again, I am not hating. I am trying to see what you are seeing.

I think that 15 minute episodes don't allow a lot of time for much, therefore I expect quite a bit. In Cherry Blossoms & Semantic Error, Because of You, Blueming, Color Rush...just to name a few, the chemistry was instant. I saw it, felt it. These shows had stories behind them that made sense & they paid attention to the continuity & flow of the characters. Even if I had to suspend disbelief, especially with the Color Rush concept, the story still made sense & engaged me. This show is choppy. One scene doesn't flow with the next. Lots of questions that could easily be forgotten about if there was some sort of distraction. I have a hard time feeling anything but confusion. I came here for Han because he was brilliant in the 10 minutes each week for WYEL so this should have been an easy sell as far as I am concerned. But I'm not feeling any chemistry in any episode & I want to. I don't think I'm hating on the show rather just disappointed & I hate that.
Well things are starting to look sexy when Mr. Handsome Stranger walked in!! BTW, is Tommy supposed to be sick or are they just making sure they make him look like he's permanently coming down with something? And where is this chemistry between the 2 ML?
Phirada is my hero for too many reasons! Amy is ridiculous & I'm hoping that she just goes away as her point is non-existent. I enjoy the mediocre sexual tension between the ML's but really the slow motion lead up to a frozen kiss is getting tiresome. They are adults not tweens.
I feel like Ze Shou knows. His facial expressions at the bar and at the school suggest that he knows Li Gong's…
Agreed...I think he knows Li Gong well & is trying not to rock the boat but still get away with just a little LOL. Looks like Li Gong may be at his breaking point though. I don't like to watch previews but I'm assuming that Ze Shou will be getting his ass kicked so maybe that will be enough to push Li Gong to say it out loud or act on it.
