I think they mean 9.0 but added a .5 specifically because they like the way the episode ended. Therefore, a 9.5.

She was so tiny! Just the right size to put in your pocket.

And I love how she just accepted her grandson Jiakai for who he is. His happiness was her only concern. I think she also "adopted" Dawei, too. She really liked him.

I really enjoyed this series. Some people seem to think it's boring, sadly, but I didn't find it boring at all. It's a simple, but really cute story. A nice contrast to some of the more dramatic BLs out right now - a few of which are good, but many of which are definitely not.

I liked the quirkiness of Jiakai's character, and the sweetness of Dawei's character. They complimented each other well.

I read in a comment further down the thread that there will be a special episode, and I'm looking forward to that.

Ep 12 was OK, I guess. But it was weird.

1 - The ending was rushed, as usual with SO MANY of these series. Ugh.

2 - The NC scene @15:47 was.....awkward.
Little Jane: "Put it in. Harder." Big Jane: **thrust** "Call me Big Jane." **thrust** "Say it."

Yeesh and EWW.

3 - The whole Dan kidnapping Jamie thing was SO unnecessary and bizarre.

And once Little Jane shot Dan.....that was the last we saw of him. No discussion of Dan's fate whatsoever - whether he lived or died, whether he'd been arrested, etc. He just vanished from the story after he was shot.

4 - @40:49 - Little Jane says to Big Jane (as he's lying in the hospital bed), "Oh, about what you planned. I've taken care of everything."

Jamie says "Oh! What's this? JP and Little Jane? What is it? Tell me."
Little Jane: "No."
Big Jane: "It's a surprise."

The next scene is both Janes arriving at Little Jane's parents' house / herbal shop, and Big Jane asking for LJ's hand in marriage. There's nothing that LJ would have had to "take care of." So I'm confused about the "surprise" he talked about at the hospital.

5 - Then @52:30 Big Jane's father suddenly shows up at the wedding and focuses his attention on Little Jane.

(To Big Jane) "Is this the person who saved your life?" Big Jane doesn't answer. He just looks at Little Jane. But the father knows that Little Jane shot Dan.

Then to Little Jane, the father says...."You did very well. I'll probably have to ask you to help me with work sometime." Both Big Jane and Little Jane look concerned at that statement because they know BJ's dad is dangerous (seems to be mafia? I don't know if that was ever confirmed in the series.).

Then BOOM, that's the end. Nothing else except a small feeling of dread and a nagging thought of...."Oh no. Will there be a season 2, and will it show Little Jane getting dragged into the father's criminal underworld?"

It was just......weird.

He is very striking and is one of those people who would draw everyone's eyes toward himself. Absolutely.

And (maybe I wasn't clear) I'm not saying his characters STAY that way as each respective series progresses. But his characters certainly, without question, start out the way I described.

Which makes them seem very same-ish in those specific series.

I'm just saying I'd like to see him cast as completely different kinds of characters. I do think he has the potential to really expand his acting portfolio in that regard.

I have not seen Wang Chen Rui's first-ever series, "Mountain and Chen."

But I did watch him in "Will You Think of Me at the First Time?" It wasn't the best series - there were definitely issues - but he portrayed someone with memory problems in a sensitive way.

However, in his current and last few series Wang Chen Rui has played the EXACT same type of character - cocky, no filter, full of arrogant swagger, talks too much, can't read the room, not respecting boundaries AT ALL, casually sexual with total strangers, totally disrespectful of the person he believes he's "helping."

Among those roles, there's ZERO difference, with no acting involved. He's basically just going by muscle memory at this point.

Now, I'm not necessarily put off by that. He's definitely easy on the eyes, and he has a rogue-ish charm I really like. But......it would be nice to see him actually act as a character with a completely different type of personality. Much more subtle, with much less swagger. Much more nuanced.

I think he's capable of it. I just hope he's willing to step out of the "cocky jerk comfort zone" he's obviously gotten so used to.

-------------------

And on a separate note......what's the deal with most of his series only showing HIM as a cast member, and not showing his co-leads?

He's only been in 5 series, total, and for three of them there's just his pic and no-one else's. I find that strange.

I love this series. I wasn't going to watch it at first, but I like Maxky and Bas so much I changed my mind. So glad I did. They are great together, and very funny. I liked the entire cast, as well.

Just a cute, fluffy, fun series all around.

QUESTIONS re the poster showing the red threads between the characters......

Aren't Panin and Jirat supposed to be brothers?

Why isn't there a red thread connecting them?

And why isn't Prae included in the poster?

---------------------------

Separately......

Many of us have talked about James' father as the victim of the fire, but also in the context of James possibly being half-Nour.

But what about his Mom?

I don't recall any point during the first five episodes where it's mentioned if she's still alive anywhere, or if she's not in the picture anymore.....is she dead? Did she leave?

If James is indeed half Nour, which of his parents would have been the full Nour - his Dad or his Mom?

Did I miss something about James' Mom while I was watching? Or is she just not a factor in the story at all?

--------------------------

Lastly......I think Rain is somehow involved. He definitely has unexpressed feelings for Panin, but I think somehow he's linked to everything.

It's so unusual, and so good. I'm really enjoying it.

You finished the entire series? How?

"His father also had a boyfriend. "

Where did you hear / see that? I must have missed something....

HAHAHA I love that little characteristic of his.

You might have missed it because it happened so fast.....but.....during the NC scene, James' eyes briefly flashed blue, like a Nour's eyes. (- which goes along with my theory that James is at least part Nour, with him being able to see the colors of people's souls, his eyes flashing blue, etc)

That's the moment when Ken covered James' eyes. I'm not sure if the blue eye color meant something to Ken that he didn't want to acknowledge, or what. The reason for all of that hasn't been revealed yet.

Plus, also consider that James can see the colors of people's souls....AND.....his eyes very briefly flashed blue in Episode 5, which hints that James may be at least part Nour, himself.

(His eyes also very briefly flash blue when he's looking at people's "colors.")

I get the feeling Chita is older than he seems. He might be a Nour.

My guess is that James is half-Nour. That's how he can see soul colors, and why his eyes flashed blue during the NC scene and when he's trying to look at people's "colors." But he doesn't have the super speed and blood craving of a full Nour.

And while we're at it......is Chita a Nour? He has this seductive, "injured but still deadly" aura (at least, to me). Plus there's his seeming aversion to human food. I feel like he's dangerous, in some way. Maybe not to humans, but to other Nour......?

I once watched a friend call her Dad, who had died several months before. His number no longer worked, but she would still call it and "leave a message" for him because she was so sad he was gone.

While you might think that scene was cringe, some people do actually do the same thing when they can no longer reach the person they love and are missing so badly.

Ep 21 at the 26:34 time stamp......

She forgot to take her small white suitcase with her when she walked out of Luke's apartment. But then at the 43:15 time stamp, suddenly she had the suitcase again.

Either she must have gone back for it, or Luke had it sent to her.

Kang Hoon - there are still so many dramas and movies I haven't watched yet, but the more I see you portraying different characters, the more I admire your acting.

I watched a short clip where you were feeling very emotional about your career and how long it took for you to be cast in larger, more important roles. I'm so glad you stuck with it, because it's always so good to see you in something new. You have worked hard, and I wish you continued success and happiness.

A deeply melancholy short film. There are very few moments of joy, but the story is one I couldn't look away from.

"He," while being the most tragic character, seemed to be the only one with any sort of life in him.

The other two characters, "She" and "I," came across as being disconnected from everything, even their supposed "friendships" with each other. If felt like they had no soul, even after they got married. I sensed no love between them at all.

I was so glad "He" didn't commit suicide, but when he vanished from the lives of "She" and "I," my mind and heart desperately hoped that he was able to find happiness somewhere in the world.
