I agree. There is a difference.

A bite is just an action and a mark on the neck afterward. It's emotionless. Alphas who want to just use an Omega as their receptacle during sex and to take advantage of their subservience are the ones who decide to inflict a bite.

But for an Alpha who's looking for more than that, MARKING an Omega has emotional, sexual and social significance. It's the action of an Alpha staking a claim, saying this Omega is his and his alone, and he plans to have a fully invested future with that person.

Granted, pheromones have a **lot** to do with it. But IMO an Alpha who marks vs an Alpha who just bites are two different kinds of Alphas.

I agree.

I haven't watched it yet (and might not, because the comments below are really not good).

But I was looking at the actors' MDL pages, and this is the WEIRDEST profile photo I've seen on this website. Are there REALLY no better photos of him available???

So far, despite their chemistry, the WRITING and DIRECTING are not working. I don't even know where to begin as to how bad those aspects are. The story and scenes are WAY too rushed with hysterically bad over-acting.

^^^^^^ Those things, among others, are killing the series for me.

And GOOD FREAKING GRIEF, please get Phat some new clothes. Those shorts are ridiculously ugly and cringe.

I really hope this series improves or I won't be able to continue.

Some of the scenes freeze for a second, and the dialogue skips.

I was reading comments further down, and others are experiencing the same glitches.

I honestly don't know. I was just speculating.

The scene in Ep 3, where Tin is quietly moaning in pure devastation and grief, begging his father to tell him if he hurt Phob, and not ever getting an answer, was soul-crushing.

And the intense bitterness, anger and deliberate disrespect on Phob's face when he meets with Prince Vasin (Tin's father) 11 years later is spot on.

Ongsa and Inn are both great actors.

ALSO.....is anyone else seeing lots of glitches in these episodes?? It's driving me bonkers.

Is Zhang Zhun manipulating Zhen Xin ?

Of is it a case of blurred lines again, and Zhang Zhun himself was also raped, like his character?

I wasn't clear. I get the feeling the lines are blurring for him too, not just the two MLs.

He does give off weird vibes, but then he talks about his relationship with his wife......

When I read people's comments like....."I just didn't feel the same chemistry between X and Y that I felt from the others...." my response is......."Why would you?"

When you have multiple couples in a series, it makes no sense for viewers to expect them to all be the same.

They're all different people, and the development of their respective relationships is different. Their backgrounds and family histories, their past relationships with other partners (good and bad), their personalities, their tempers, their physical attraction to each other, the speed (fast or slow) of their relationship, their interests, their goals, etc all contribute to their special couple dynamics.

I enjoyed every one of these couples because each one was unique. Some stories were faster paced, and some were slower. But each couple was interesting in their own ways.

The special episode was good, and it tied things up nicely. I'll miss this series.

SPECIAL EPISODE coming soon (July 11th):

Don't forget, the overall rating is also influenced by people rating each individual episode. There's no reason for them to wait til the end to do that.

I'm not sure how the individual ratings would influence the score, as opposed to overall rating more people are used to submitting.

It is very difficult to watch the male lead (the groom) acting like a soppy, WIMPY AF damsel in distress. And he moves / runs like a palace eunuch from some historical Chinese drama.

Such a turnoff, especially when it comes to even IMAGINING any kind of NC scene in a modern context.

I really hope he grows a backbone at some point.

They've got good chemistry.

I made a clarification in my original comment. I have not read the novel myself. I was going by what others who have read the novel are saying.

The series is good.

EDIT: FROM WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID - I have not read the original novel, myself - the series successfully portrays a story within a story.

It shows the characters (their characters are actors) living in a blurred existence, where they start to have trouble distinguishing between what's real, what's just acting (in the drama they're acting in), who they are (are they themselves? are they their characters?), whether the conversations are real or lines from their drama, whether their feelings are just what their characters are supposed to be feeling, or real......etc.

The NC scenes are disturbing and erotic. In this series, that kind of atmosphere perfectly fits.

I'm looking forward to more.

PLEASE SEE my edit above, for clarification.

Xiao Deng, the "friend" Danyi sent to be Zhang Zhun's "assistant" is the exact kind off bumbling, clueless, fawning character I cannot STAND. The second he walked into the room, I was pissed.

Love this series.

And I love Jay's uncle, lol.

Are Tee and Heng an official paired couple? This is their second series together.
