Kiwi

Last episode I dubbed Duang the annoying cocker spaniel. This episode, for the first time in my life I want to hit a dog. As someone who doesn’t like inanity or small-talk I keep hitting pause. Qin can’t do that. He can only walk away or issue threats. I’m 100 % on Qin’s side. Duang is a pain. Even if he’s a sweetheart, he’s a nightmare to be around.

Hmm, the “gay for you” trope seems homophobic to me. It feels like it’s suffixed with “but it’s okay, because I’m not gay”. It was the biggest irritant for me in Revenged Love. I’m also thoroughly fed up with the bad communication trope.

I may be developing type two diabetes.

This is one reason why I’m not a fan of these locked in pairings. If you get one actor that’s just naturally talented, like Joong, it’s frustrating when their partner needs serious upskilling. Dunk’s gorgeous, but he’s just not Joong’s equal. Think of all the other skilled actors who’ve been paired with guy’s streets behind. It can be learned. Earth in Fourever You season one was abysmal, but he nailed it in season two. Pond wasn’t limited to working with him though, and we got Reset with Peterpan. I wish the pairings were all that flexible.

I know. I suspect the Heart Killers director worked out how to get the best out of him, where nobody else has.

Argh, thanks. The app messed up the uname.

It bored me, until they started going properly into why Sorn was so ephebiphobic. Before that it was “annoying nonsensical young man rubs uglies with beautiful but distant tall guy”, and very little else. There was zero real development of character or story. I might have enjoyed it more if Jun wasn’t such an idiot, but even in the extra episodes he irritated me. I hope Oat’s next characters are more likeable, because between that and his real life flub life seems to be imitating art, and I don’t like disliking actors. I’m aware different people get different things from watching the same productions though. I wasn’t meaning to imply it was universally dull.

Thanks. That’s helpful 👍 In that case I’ll give it another look once more episodes are out.

I dropped it. I was finding the discussion more entertaining than the series, which was a bad sign. I’ll keep reading this so if it goes beyond a string of NC beads I can pick it up again. Smut just isn’t enough to hold my interest. I had the same problem with My Stubborn. I only ended up watching the ending because of the discussion indicating some character development 🙃

Duang is giving serious cocker spaniel vibes. Slightly annoying spaniel. I hope he chills out a bit soon.

😆 So true. I have to say I’m struggling to finish watching it though. The writing and direction are abysmal.

I think this is quite possibly the most abortive timeline I’ve ever seen. They need to stop jumping, and give more information around big events, such as the first abduction. What lead into it and how it ended, for example. The story is a total fustercluck. There’s a bit to like, but it’s being seriously detracted from by the order and extent of events shown, and the choppy shifts. I’ll persist because of the main pair, but I am disappointed so far.

I’ve just started watching this, and I’m liking the main couple. It’s so nice watching people my own age! all the stretching and groaning in the morning is brutally real…

I’m watching it on Vipa without my VPN running. They are apparently happy for Kiwis to watch, which makes a nice change. Having to VPN around to find territories with access is very tiresome.

No, I’m not going any further. It’s so stilted and weird, and basic, but without the charm needed for an plotless slice of life. I had thought maybe they’d learn from criticism of the first one, but it’s worse. I’ll watch your discussion of it, rather than the show. it’s much more worth my time.

Koh is going to die young. The fumes from soldering are bad for you, and he’s inhaling so much. He needs an extractor, or at the very least a fan. Even knowing Off may not ever do that again it makes my teeth itch to see him so oblivious. Even a PC case fan would help. The production manager needs a swift kick in the arse.

Maybe they found a plot, dug up characters, and found a way to photograph pot plants and nc scenes together!

You’re such a treasure.

Wave is sweet, and funny. I’ve never seen him before but he is a stand-out.

I’m a bit over this. They killed off one of the few consistently likeable characters, Jack & Ja continue to needlessly create melodrama, and the acting isn’t improving. I’m retiring this one from my watchlist.
