I like this. It's frustrating, sure, but it feels realistic if you take into consideration the year, the place, and the hierarchy. I just finished the novel and I think the actors are doing a great job showing us things that the novel didn't, especially the emotional complexity of these characters. Idk, maybe my trauma just recognizes Xiaofan's but there is so much depth there. I can understand him completely - my opinion ofc. Anyway, looking forward to next weeks episode. 💖
It's not even over and I'm already dreading my Saturday's without Payback 😭. This is genuinely such a good series. The casting team did an incredible job with EVERY character. Chemisty and overall skill is pouring from every actor, even the ones with the smallest roles - like the uncle, LOVE his goofy self so bad. I'm really enjoying how the story goes beyond the main leads, there's so much context and depth here. I could go on and on. In my opinion this show is everything. Truly! 🥰 Please, Idk who I need to beg/bribe/or email but we need a dozen more ToptapMinlee series!! Expeditiously. 🫶
Wow. I'm completely invested in this. Binged all 3 episodes in one sititng. So, so good! Pushover character's usually drive me crazy but there is just something about Xiaofan 🥺. I really just want to give him the biggest hug. Ah, I'm so impatient, I want the next episode right now. I love it so far. 😍
I also read the novel! what parts did you wish to see from the novel that weren't shown? For me, i wish the japan…
Hii!! I agree with you, the friend trip to Japan I loved! It would have been fun to see them all together there. I wish we could have seen more of their earlier development as friends before school started (so episode 1/2) like how they spent the whole summer together going to the movie/shopping/and there was a lot of sleepovers/bounding time. Then seeing Fah on a motorcycle in that rain scene 🤌🫠 It wasnt a big scene or anything but ah, the visuals. I know Bver would have ate that up. Another one was the Phoons dad ending. I really wanted to see Tiger/Johan and the mafia tie-ins. Plus the whole baddie tonfah vibe of "phoon is scared of the dark because of you, now it's your turn to know what that feels like." Like ahhh. What a scene. 🤣 And as you said the bonus chapter and phoon rejecting the model. 🫠 Jo and North did get special episodes though, so maybe fah phoon will too. 🙏 hoping anyway.

There are 24 episodes total split between 3 couples, each couple will have 8 episodes each. There are currently 7 aired episodes, (8 if you bought the fast track episode on wetv) or the 8th one will officially premiere Saturday. That will conclude the 1st couples story. Then the second couple will pick up for ep 9. 🫶 hope this helps and wasn't confusing 🤣
Omg. 😭 it took me several days to watch episode 8 because I wasn't ready to say goodbye to Fah/Phoon yet. (Yes, I'm dramatic but whatever, I'm just a girl.) This was my most anticipated adaptation and while I wished to see a few things from the novel that didn't make the final cut/script, it still didn't disappoint! I loved it. I felt all the emotions and then some because of how well Tonliew and Bver portrayed their characters. Tonliew's ability to cry and convey depression and Bver's ability to convey emotions with just his eyes.... are hard to do, I commend them for their efforts. Thank you to them for giving the perfect representation of Tonfah and Typhoon. Even all the lovey/swoon moments were touching and sweet, left me kicking my feet and hiding behind my hands with a smile. Their hard work and dedication to their roles was obvious. 🫶 they deserve all the hype and recognition for this series. I have fallen in love with a new ship and I hope to see them in something else later. The chemistry is chemistry-ing fr. 🥹 & I am looking forward to Thit & Dao's story next. 🩷

Just curious for novel readers, how would you rank howlsairy novels based on your preference?Mine is:1. TonfahTyphoon2.…
I love them all but my order is: 1. Fah/phoon 2. Ger/nao 2. Jay/dan (I wish we were getting their story, btw) 3. Hill/ter 3. Jo/north 4. Thit/dao 🫶 Tied for 2nd and 3rd spot. I couldn't decide.
🥹🥰 my reaction most of episode 6 😯🤭 my reaction most of episode 7
I love them. I finish every episode so sad that it's over and wishing for more. As a book reader, this was my favorite story out of them all and I was so looking forward to seeing this adaptation. It has definitely not disappointed me this far. 🥹💕 (Personal opionion ofc) I think they've done really well following the novel and delivering all the emotions/feelings. Bver & Tonliew really do embody the characters so well. I do wish it could have been longer, particularly the dad scene at the end-iykyk- I think even just one more episode could have made the story seem less fast. Again just my opinion, no shame or hate, just a preference. I still love it. Still love them. And am looking forward to the last episode. even though it makes me sad. I hope to see them again in something else down the road. Their chemistry is so good.

😭 as a novel reader, Bver and Tonliew have really exceeded all my expectations with bringing Fah and Phoon to life. They embody the characters so well. I love this and them so much! Now if only I could binge it all but I'm not patient enough to wait until it's all released. 🤣🥹🩷
