I miss characters with real chemistry. Those two actors are gorgeous, but there is no chemistry between them, because the story doesn't allow it. The badass mafia bodyguard is reduced to a little boy, so innocent, not violent, in love with only one woman, who gets flustered by a mere lip touch. Who watches this? People who have nothing better to do, who want to just shut off their brain after a tiring day. It has no value, not even entertainment value, since everything is so generic and unimportant. Forgettable. But I guess that's what you get nowadays. A safe and cute series for all the girlies out there who dream of their prince charming, the cool mafia guy who is like a little puppy. I almost feel offended by all this nonsense. He gets called a thug and almost cries. Give me a break. People who are 30+ behave like this? Maybe the new Gen Z is like this for real. I'm bored to death by all this stupidity. I will now go rewatch D.P. where he had more chemistry with his crazy co-star. That was a series worth watching. Not this one.
LOL I saw the poster, didn't know anything about this, just clicked on it, turns out girl has amnesia and the scruffy boxer guy is lying to her. But look, the scruffy boxer guy is some superhero mafia bodyguard badass who saves her. So no cute village romance for me. And the badass from Beyond Evil and Squid Game is also here and playing his usual villain self. I'm not mad at them. My guy from D.P. can pull this off. Love to see him again in some action scenes.
This is such a boring, unappealing and very silly plot, that couldn't catch my interest at all. A waste of time. But damn ...! The leads are gorgeous, the chemistry is chemistrying, and the sex scenes were out of this world. One of the best if not the best I have ever seen. Explains at least the high rating. For the gooners out there, don't miss this one!
This show doesn't deserve an 8.1 rating. It's probably a 6.5 at best. Thier fan base is rating this a 10/10.Watch…
Lol, which other companies? The whole BL industry is honestly a joke ... A money grab. Nothing else. BL is as much about good storytelling as K-Pop is about good music.
This series is forgettable. But TayNew made it work. How convenient for GMMTV and those lazy writers and directors that they have actors with great chemistry and actings skills who are also committed to give us their A-game even though the script is weak. TayNew deserve better.
Boat was always bad, but Oat was great in MyStubborn. I was looking forward to Knot because of him. Both are bad in this series. Don't know what happened.
Bad Buddy was very strong in the first half: good introduction of all the characters, we learned about their feelings and struggles, and then the emotions reached their peak in that legendary rooftop kiss. The episode after: a step back, suddenly nobody was willing to admit there were feelings involved (even after that crazy kiss!), we got filler scenes, then finally we got a confession. After that we got repetitive scenes and lots of product advertisement. Then there was a conflict with the parents and it ended.
A Dog and a Plan is written very similar. Decent introduction of the characters (even though ep 3 was already a filler episode), emotions boiling up, issue with ex boyfriend resolved, and finally we got their kissing/love scene. Then guess what? They went a step back, we got hurt feelings and confusion and finally a confession! Since then we got a conflict with parents, repetitive scenes, fillers and product advertisement.
That's GMMTV writing for you.
I think even 2gether was similar. I just remember it was strong in the first half, and then it felt apart.
Lol it’s only a small handful of people here on MDL who dislike slice of life stories ( and of course the usual…
It's not slice of life. It's a romcom.
A slice of life is a story or art form that shows the normal, everyday experiences of real or realistic characters. It focuses on ordinary routines and simple interactions instead of a big dramatic plot.
Those aren't real and realistic characters. They are written that way to create tension necessary for the love story (poor wild guy vs. rich posh guy). It doesn't focus on ordinary routines, it focus on the development of the love story since this is a romantic comedy with the clear goal of two (or four) people finding their love and getting together at the end.
The story lacks clear direction since episode 6 or 7. So that's what you now call "slice of life" since we just see random scenes of those people being in a relationship with some generic obstacles they have to overcome. It's lazy and weak writing. They clearly run out of ideas. You can't just assume a romcom that runs out of ideas is suddenly "slice of life".

I just looked, there aren't as many series especially when you think after Only Friends the quality went down

That's all I want to know. I don't care about the story.
I was looking forward to Knot because of him.
