I've adored this series from before it was on Gagaoolala, putting up with the incredibly bad subs because I simply loved the story telling narrative. Overall, it was a beautifully told, gentle love story that started out as a friendship which evolved into love. Beautiful. I didn't even mind the fish kisses and lack of skinship, because it always positioned itself to be this kind of drama. However, subtitles aside, it could have been so much better in my mind. #JustSayin

1. The utter shit show that was Por went on for far too long.
2. Introducing the ex at EP 9, seriously pissed me off. Why? Because irrespective of how long Mork and Fern were together, would you really entertain giving such 'warm' time to an ex that firstly demonstrated they were with you for your money, then cheated on you and openly asked you to let them go to someone else who could provide a better life for them? Really? Yes, I'm all about forgiveness, we all make mistakes, but I found this part of the narrative so unnecessary. Would have preferred to use this part for Mork and Tawan finally getting together love time.
3. Nadia's character - all about the money and not the personality. How naive to think love comes from money and stature. It took other women hitting on Mayom for her to realise his worth. Shallow character I had no time for. Especially considering her age and how much she'd failed in love up until this time.
4. Adored the uncles and their oh so wise words of advice.
5. Boss and Toy. To be honest, I just didn’t get this pairing. Really, in real life, I doubt this would have happened, but loved the writing of Boss’ confession in final. All I can call it is sweet.
5. Would I re-watch? No, I don't think so, but would be so, so open to a series 2 all about Tawan and Mork's ongoing love story, which we should have had more of in S1.

I absolutely adored this drama from South Korea. Respect to the team who had the foresight to unleash all 11 episodes at once. Seriously clever marketing, because with episodes running from 10-20 mins, the beautiful flow of the narrative and stunning story telling was able to be told and most importantly absorbed and remembered without having to wait each week to recall, rewind and digest. However, irrespective of the episode lengths they told the story so well and engaging in each episode to have me totally absorbed, much in the same way as Semantic Error with its episode lengths and stunning story telling. This is what Behind Cut, Tinted With You, My Sweet Dear and Nobleman Ryu's Wedding should have been - and for me massively lost and therefore disappointed.

So not surprised its Directed by Hwang DeSeul, who also directed To My Star and Where Your Eyes Linger - so very talented and totally appreciative and understanding of exactly what a BL audience want to enjoy and love. Also has huge understanding of the BL community. Huge, huge respect.

The cinematography was beautiful - some of those shots, so lovely. The chemistry between our leads from the outset. The honesty from Cha Si Won about his personality pretty much from the very beginning. Would just have liked to have learnt more about Hyeong Da Un's back story.

Speaking of Hyeong Da Un. Wow! Stunning features. Such presence on screen. Charisma. Calm and confident whenever he delivered his lines and cool ratio totally off the scale and don't even get me started on his deep voice. So fucking sexy and mesmerising - damn I could listen to his voice forever. #IsItPossibleToBottleIt?

Sadly, you're so right. It is going to be a fish kiss. Writer, have a fucking word with yourself. You may want to watch Semantic Error to help you with your writing..

Hahaha. You've so nailed it on the head beautifully. #FunnyAsFuck.

So true. Very disappointing and for me unnecessary writing for a BL. What is the writer trying to tell us? A heterosexual relationship is right and must always be considered? Fuck off!

Totally 💯 agree with your thinking and thought process. How bloody annoying is this at EP 9? 10 is just going to be a whole load of rushed content.

Enchante? Let’s just put it out there. I am so not enchanted. What an absolute load of rubbish.

OMG ! Those damn eggs again. #Hilarious. I also spied the smelling of such eggs. 🤣

Ah, I see. Thank you so much.

Currently watching EP 9. Question: Who on the planet has ever cut themselves due to an egg? Please, hit me up if this has ever happened to you. Really! The need to throw in a trope, writer, you actually chose a fucking egg?

....and here we are entering into EP 10, the finale and the writer honestly thinks we as the viewers they're writing for (I think you've forgotten who you're writing for) want to see our two leads not officially get together until the final episode! Really? You call this good writing? I absolutely love and adore the slow build to now, because both leads need to come to terms and deal with their emotions and shit. But honestly, the final episode? You so don't know and respect your audience. Don't even get me started on throwing the ex girlfriend into the narrative at the final chapter. What the actual fuck? Really?

Me too. Would so have loved watching time with them as a couple - how beautiful would that have been?!

So, I've just watched ep 9 raw whilst I wait for Gagaoolala to sub. Why? Because I love it that much. What a beautiful story. The fact that I can so feel and understand the story minus not understanding the language demonstrates to me the huge talent of the actors, writers and director. Respect. Thank you. I adore this drama. Beautiful writing, especially with the uncles - oh so wise and eloquently delivered. They're so effortlessly funny.

PS: #JustSayin' The whole Mork not knowing if he loved Tawan could have been dealt with earlier - it went on too long. He knew. We didn't need to revisit this time and again. However. Respect to you, a beautiful drama I adore, just would have been lovely to see them in the final episodes enjoying some loved up time together. xx

Subs finally up on Gagaoolala for ep 8. Have to say, I adore the uncles - oh so wise.

To be honest, I don't think it's about companionship, but friendship and respect for someone that grows into love, irrespective of backgrounds.

Thank you 🙏🏿

So sweet x

Eek! Funny, check you being told off 🤣 #Funny x

Oh my! Sounds like I need to ready my heart for some serious father, daughter insights. Thank you 🙏🏿

Aw bless you. Thank you so much for taking the time to give me such a detailed, eloquent explanation. Makes total sense to my brain. I’ll continue patiently 🙏🏿
