A relationship built on lies & manipulation

The whole plot of this series revolves around lies and manipulation, with a whole lot of fortune-telling and feng shui overlaying it.

I'm not going to say this series is a waste of time, but I will say that it was incredibly disappointing. I'll go into more detail later, but the writing for this series is so flimsy that I'm convinced that this was the screenwriter's first time writing a script.

THINGS I LIKED

* The acting was great. It was a lot of these actors' first role, and they honestly killed it. Sadly, good acting can only save a show so much.

* The only part of the plot I liked was when Ritt didn't get back together with Itt just because he got hurt trying to "save" him. That happens way too many times in drama series, and sometimes it's fine to do that, but like in this series, it made sense for Ritt not to forgive him because at this point every step of their romance has been built on lies and manipulation, and Itt risking himself doesn't solve those issues.

* Using rune stones for fortune-telling is different.

* NC scenes were surprisingly okay. The actors have good chemistry together.

THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE
(90% of these things can be chalked up to lazy writing)

* The actors for Pure and Itt looked so much alike that I got them confused a couple of times. Not for a few seconds either, but sometimes minutes. This was probably just a me problem, but it was still annoying.

* Someone needs to tell the writers that Fortune-telling and Feng Shui can not be a person's entire personality.

* Even if you love someone, you shouldn't pretend to be someone you're not just to be with them. Ritt has the excuse that he was drunk and not thinking clearly when he told the lie, but he should have cleared things up as soon as he got sober.

* Was Pure trying to turn Ritt into an alcoholic? He was drinking so much that I have no idea how he remembered anything. Honestly, this was a small example of lazy writing because he really shouldn't have been able to remember everything.

* Pure honestly wasn't a good friend.

* Can we go back to the time when, if a character wanted to pretend to have beaten or kidnapped someone, they have real footage or at least have made it so the said person is busy and unable to answer the phone? Or manipulate the person to the location to falsify evidence against them? I've only watched a couple of series where they pull this "it was faked with AI" bullshit, and yes, it shows the dangers of AI, but at the same time you can't rely solely on that to move the plot forward. It just makes the characters look stupid for falling for it, and in this case also Pure for thinking Itt is pulling a "Ritt was kidnapped" scheme to what? Make up with Ritt? Does that make any sense at all? This whole scene was just to deal with a blackmailer that honestly played such a small role in the story that he could have been written out completely, and they could have just had Ritt's guilt slowly eating at him until he couldn't take lying anymore, only to then discover that everyone around him had been lying to him.

* Ritt has no right to play the victim after learning that Itt knew he was lying the whole time. He had no reason to snap like that. He should have just said sorry and explained why he did it. It's only after Pure reveals that he had known for a while, and that Itt and Phitcha had known the whole time, that he had the right to be mad and hurt. Because let's be honest, Itt pretty much set him up to tell the lie in the first place and then manipulated things so that they had to have a fake marriage, live together, and go on a trip together. He also had everyone around him and Ritt in on the scheme as well. So to me, Itt was the worst of these two, and I honestly wouldn't have been surprised if they hadn't gotten back together.

* They showed the same scenes from Ritt and Itt's past multiple times with little added.

* They had Itt say at the end that he wanted to start over without any lies between them when he manipulated things to get Ritt to the event in the first place. At this point, it felt like Ritt gave in to get Itt to stop, more than him being willing to give them another try. At this point, basically their whole relationship had been built on a lie, so how do you know when the lying stops? Itt's a red flag & everyone is color blind.

* LAZY WRITING! Everything written above for starters, but also the characters have no real personality or growth. The story focused so much on the fortune-telling and Feng Shui that there wasn't any room for either. They decided to add these things instead of building up good foreshadowing or tension, and defaulted to "let's just use AI". We only see Ritt struggling internally about his lie for the first couple of episodes and then again after he's being blackmailed. If Ritt's victim speech had to happen, they could have used better dialogue instead of making the audience completely unable to be sympathetic toward him. Some sympathy was possible because Itt did a lot more lying and manipulating. Itt supposedly tried to get Ritt to tell him the truth when really, after their first date, he didn't at all. Itt also used the excuse that he wasn't brave enough to hit on Ritt, but for some reason he had no problem lying to and manipulating him into dating him.

This series had potential.

Don't expect anything intense or dark

I saw a few clips of this show before I watched it, and it turns out they were all from the side couples' scenes. After finishing the series, I get why; they definitely had better chemistry than our main couple. Kisses were stiff either way. I liked the back hugs and cuddles, though.

I liked that I actually learned something from this series; I had never heard of Hyperventilation Syndrome or Aplastic Anemia before, and it was nice to learn more about them. I'll remember them, whereas I probably won't remember most of the other details of the show. Not that it wasn't a good show, but it was . . . safe. I feel like this show was sold as something much darker with a toxic, obsessive, and possessive romance, and it did the bare minimum with all of those things. I had really been looking forward to those darker tones.

OST was good; it made me feel like I was watching an anime at times.

The acting was good. I have no idea who played Xiaosi, but he did a great job. I loved his character and the relationships he had with Li and Zhai Qiu Yu. Li is his most important person, and he wasn't going to give Zhai Qiu Yu an inch.

Not the worst Vampire BL series I've watched

I liked what they were going for, but sadly, they couldn't do much with only 10 minutes per episode. It clearly had a limited budget, even though the effects weren't the worst I've seen.

For some reason, I found Lucifer saying "I'm also a Christian," really funny.

The fighting was laughably bad, and so short that it may as well have been cut out.

The kissing was . . . kissing, I guess. Chemistry wasn't there at all.

What was that ending? No, seriously, what was it? Is Minu alive or dead? If alive, how? And what were the repercussions of what Lucifer did?

Trigger warning for self-harm and non-consensual sex

This series can be very frustrating for the first 5 episodes because we go from the past to the future a LOT. A ridiculous amount, really. None of it is in chronological order, which makes the story more confusing than it needed to be. It's enough to make someone want to drop the series after an episode or two, but besides this, I felt like it was a solid series. The jumping from past to present pretty much stops by episode 6.

The only other thing I didn't really like was the characters Ken and Lavid (Rawit) being so stupid. The dads are just as bad. I'm not a fan of stupid characters or ones that lack common sense. I deal with that enough in my day-to-day life. It doesn't bother me to the point of mentioning it often, but Ken is literally out here helping run to companies (into the ground but still) and trying to outmaneuver Kelvin & Vier. It just didn't seem believable that either of the fathers would have given him any power to make company decisions. Lavid just doesn't have common sense.

The GL couple was really good, but it did feel like their scenes were filled with literal filler sometimes. Nana kicks ass! I love seeing a female character who can fight.

The OST was great, but for the main couple's NC scenes, it was a bit wild. In a good way. I was not expecting them to use those songs. Also, the kissing noises? I felt like I was intruding.

I loved the acting all around. Peat didn't have many facial expressions, but I don't think the role gave him much room to give that many. I could tell Fort was really enjoying this role, and his crying was captivating.

Non-consensual sex in episode 5? Not sure. The scene cuts off, but it hints at it, so right now I'm going with yes.

There are several scenes where Kelvin hurts himself and has a panic attack. I'm assuming it was a panic attack since I don't know what else it could have been, but it was very tame in comparison to the ones I've had. As for hurting himself, Kelvin cuts himself a lot in the months after he and Vier go their separate ways, and Peat's response, the relief he gets from doing it, is accurate to how it actually feels when you cut yourself. How do I know? I've done it before when I was feeling very stressed and was in an environment that I had no control over, and it was a way of getting things to slow down so I could breathe. Don't worry I haven't done it in years, and I'm mentally in a much better place. The point is, it was realistic.

This show would be interesting to rewatch now that I have all the pieces to the story.

This was everything that I wanted

First off, I really love how down bad Arthit is for Dao. His love for Dao feels all-consuming & Ngern does a great job conveying it through his eyes alone.

This special episode was 100% necessary. Phoon and Fah's episode was basically just a fluffy check-in, but this special actually gave us much-needed closure for this couple. At the end of the series, we are left with Arthit not being able to propose to Dao, & we finally get it here in one of the most touching ways. It was so sweet & I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

It was also nice to know that at least Arthit and Fah stay in touch. I'm assuming if they do, it means all of them do. It's normal not to keep in touch with friends if you take different career paths, so it was just a relief to see that they still talk to each other.

As always, I'm a sucker for good cuddles & I was well fed~

Domestic Fluff

This story takes place after a few years' time skip, and we get to see a glimpse of Fah and Phoon's adult life: their jobs, kind of their day-to-day routine, and overall, just them being in love with each other. It's such a soft love as well. No drama or NC scenes, and the cuddles were so nice. It makes me a little jealous.

I'm kind of torn on whether we needed this or not. On the one hand, I loved this couple, and I'm glad we got to see them again after they have settled into their adult lives, while on the other hand, I've already said goodbye to these characters twice before this & at this point it feels like I'm getting strung along. As much as I love them, I hope this is the final goodbye.

P.S. I still can't get over how small and adorable Tonliew is!

I came for the post Love Mechanics VeeMark moments

They did a surprising amount in 3 episodes. Was the relationship believable? No, but I honestly treated this as a special set after Love Mechanics. It was nice to see Nuea find someone after everything that happened with Mark, even if I felt like it should have gotten at least a couple more episodes to really make the relationship feel like they were something other than casual acquaintances. We didn't get a lot of VeeMark moments, but I enjoyed each one, & we got more of Mark in this series than in the others (outside Love Mechanics, obviously).

Specking of Mark, I kept waiting for him to explode with how fed up he looked with all of his upperclassmen. I'm kind of sad that all we got was his death stare, which was really good imho.

The acting was just as good as in TOSSARA, but Win did a better job; maybe because he got to do something besides acting lovesick.

Better than Future at least

I don't understand why so much of the dialogue between the characters has to be teasing or flirting. Do they have a quota they have to meet with each series or something?

Gun & Bar have no chemistry & despite the pacing of the relationship being alright, it wasn't believable. What would have been believable was Bar telling Gun to fuck off. No one who gets peer-pressured into letting someone hit on them is actually going to let the person hit on them. And the confession? Worst part of the show, in my opinion. It wasn't cute. It was a public sob story that anyone would have been an ass to say no to & it went on way too long. And I'm normally a big sucker for size differences & cuddles, but they did nothing for me this time.

Going in, I was expecting great acting from Yin and War (sadly, we got very little of War), but I was pleasantly surprised that the acting was alright overall. Folk especially surprised me both in his acting & with how much he reminds me of Nunew, looks-wise. The only person's acting I didn't like was, unfortunately, Win's (Gun). No character had any personality, but I feel like the main characters should be the exception. Folk did a decent job of making his character a tsundere, while Win's character only thought of or cared about Bar. I don't know anything about him that didn't revolve around Bar. War (Mark) was on screen for less than 5 minutes & his character had more personality.

I preferred this over Future, but it's only better because the acting was much better.

A waste of time

Why was this made? We didn't need it. Did anyone want it? This was such a nothing show that it may as well not have existed.

There was zero plot, & all the drama came down to jealousy and the most nonsensical breakup I've ever seen. The script was also mostly teasing, flirting, or arguing with little in between, which almost made me drop the show. Honestly, I'm still not sure why I finished it.

The acting wasn't the worst, but it definitely wasn't the best either. It felt constricted, and maybe that was because of the script? There isn't much you can do when the script is mostly you making doe eyes at a boy & bragging about said boy. Them speed-running the relationship also didn't do the actors any favors since they didn't have time or wiggle room in the script to actually build up the character past 'love-sick' or build chemistry.

Also, why did every online conversation between Fuse and Ana have to be public? Are DM's not a thing on whatever platform they are using?

The OST reminded me of retro video games that repeat the same beat the whole time you play and will slowly drive you crazy if you don't learn to tune it out. It was horrible, loud, & distracting.

Vee & Mark are mentioned WAY too much. I get they are the most popular couple, but bringing them up at least once an episode won't save the dumpster fire that is this show.

I hate giving it 1.5 stars because I've definitely watched worse shows & rated them higher than this, but in those shows there was at least 1 thing, no matter how small, that I liked; whether it be an actor, a scene, a plot point, OST, a cuddle, etc., there's something. Here, there was nothing. It really was just a show, one of many, sadly, that lacked any substance.

The "Honeymoon"

This special covers, in my opinion, the most boring part of the novel & that's the "honeymoon" after the escape from Daddy Dearest. The most interesting part during that section of the book was the encounter with the SWAT team & somehow they over- and underplayed it here. Overplayed it by making it way more public than it was meant to be, & underplayed it in the number of SWAT who were actually there and how they were dealt with. So the scene came off as ridiculous rather than tense. I'm also surprised they included the girl from the novel, even if they did remove the kissing scene.

COVID *eye roll* it wasn't a part of the book, so it doesn't need to be included. Nothing would have changed plot-wise.

The recap in the beginning was way too long; recapping the last couple of episodes would have been enough.

I don't like that they are also setting up the car accident already, not because it means they are going to skip over anything important, but because it was so blatantly done, and they set up the character to know that the brakes weren't working, so if the accident happens now it's going to make Poppy look forgetful which is something his character isn't supposed to be.

Also, why does this series keep making me think Seal has a thing for Hero? I can't remember if the other adaptations made me feel this way, but it's very in my face in this one, and it's making me cringe. If there were no blood relation between them, I could easily understand it, but they are blood-related. And this is not The Mortal Instruments.

I talk too much about Sunny, sorry!

Trigger warnings for rape, SA, nudity, alcohol & drug abuse, violence, bullying, death, murder, & self-harm

I may have missed some triggers, but I think I got the most important ones.

I have not read the manhwa, but I plan to when I have the time.

I was super excited about this series from the moment the trailer dropped. Going into this series, I was the most excited I've ever been to watch something outside of a Spider-Man or Harry Potter movie in theaters. I went into this series expecting to give it at least a 9/10, but I quickly came to realize that that wasn't going to happen. I still love and enjoyed the series, but it wasn't without its problems.

My first problem was with the OST. It was really good, but for the first 3 episodes it would randomly blow my eardrums out with loud violins or piano and completely overpower the characters specking. Thankfully, it didn't happen again after episode 3, but the fact that it happened at all was annoying & honestly painful since I have sensitive hearing. So while the OST was one of my favorite things about the series, it also started as the thing I hated most.

The acting was really good; I have no complaints. I think Shogun did a great job with the panic attacks. (I've had many panic attacks, so I like to point out if I think a person has done a good job or not.)

The Chemistry between all the actors was great, especially our main leads. Toptap and Min had really good kisses, and the NC scenes are like something I've never watched before. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not because I still feel a little traumatized by how real they looked and felt. I normally clock out a bit during NC scenes because I'm honestly more interested in the kissing and cute/sweet moments (especially cuddles), but there was no clocking out for me in these scenes. My eyes were glued to the screen in disbelief and fascination. (Honestly, I'm the girl who was standing beside them in the bus scene.) I'm also a big fan of size differences~

The pacing of this series was really good, but the ending felt very rushed compared to the rest of the series. This is one of the Thai series that should have been longer. Again, I didn't read the manhwa, but I feel like they could have easily made this series 12-14 episodes long. It felt like a lot was missing that could have been shown to us. For example, how Jay's mother died, everything Sunny was going through after the deaths of his backers, what drove him to go to a loan shark, and whether he faced public repercussions that made him unable to work in entertainment; for some reason, I also felt like we missed some things in Jay & Sun's relationship. These things may not have been in the Manhwa, but I felt we should have seen a bit more of them.

The way the old men were handled also felt incredibly rushed. The pervert with the pacemaker death was fine for the most part, but I would like to know what video was sent to the police since Two-O never got to send the one to Sun. (Who was that boy, by the way? I thought it was Wave, but it wasn't, and we don't get a name. He deserves that at least after being killed by Sunny.) Is the one who shot the other old man the boy who was signed onto Dream by Jay's mother & then raped by the pervert? If he is, I feel like that flashback would have worked better in this moment instead of where we got it. Everything happened all at once with no buildup that would make you think things are going to end with murder. And as I said above, I would have liked to see more of Sunny during the events at the end. He was such an important person to our main character, but he felt brushed over even before Jay started things with Sun.

The whole show was building up to these 3 being taken down after all the lies, manipulation, and vile things they've done, only for it all to come to a head and conclude in like 15 minutes. It truly leaves you feeling dissatisfied, and the writing is very lazy.

Since I'm on characters, I've heard a lot of people say that Jay was toned down in this series, and if that's the case, I really wish they wouldn't have. He's a red flag, and if you're going to do a red flag character, you should take it as far as the work you are adapting did. Also, Jay wasn't as big a part of the show as I thought he would be. He wasn't really there for a good majority of the show, and when he was, it was just in small bursts. It's just weird that it felt like the supporting cast got more screen time than one of our leads. This made it hard to know anything about this man other than that he wants revenge and is obsessed with Sun. If Toptap and Min's chemistry weren't so good, this show would have been a major flop because Jay's lack of screen time makes it impossible to make this relationship believable. I believe they are sexually attracted to each other and compatible, but nowhere near love.

Sun, red flag or not, was a doll, and I want one for myself. He's so serious and awkward. The only annoying thing was when people said he looked 'ordinary' when he was downright adorable. I loved Sia Jo & Kajorn; Sun is definitely going to make them go prematurely gray. They were the comic relief that we didn't need, but I'm glad we had them. Besides the panic attacks, I don't really have many feelings about Sky. He was there, he was helpful, & he was traumatized. I also thought they were going to pair him with Boat's character at one point, & I'm still not sure if I'm disappointed that they didn't. Two-O wasn't a very present character, but they did a good job of making me worry about him.

Sunny. I wanted more of Sunny. To me, this man was more of a red flag than Jay, but with zero power to back it up. He pulls so much shit in the past & the present, and I didn't see enough. Sun was living a normal, albeit emotionless, life when he learned the role Sunny played in his brother's death, but the most we get from Sunny himself is just words. Most of them bragging. I wanted to see if there was any mental struggle in the decisions he made. If he ever once hesitated (sans murder) in the things that he did or had others do. He is the second most irredeemable character in the whole show and is Sun's target, yet he felt one-dimensional. After everything he has done, I didn't expect him to change; I just wanted to see some kind of internal struggle. Even if it was only for a moment.

I feel like I did nothing but complain about the series, but I really did enjoy it; I just felt like it was wasted potential. If they had made the series longer and given the characters, mostly Jay & Sunny, more depth, it could have been much better.

I'm not the biggest fan of vertical series because the format just isn't good. The run time will be the length of a movie, but it's choppy and repetitive & more often than not has no budget, a weak story, and not the best acting.

Even though the story for this series wasn't the strongest and it was repetitive, it at least had more budget than I've seen in other vertical series, and the acting was decent all around. Yin in particular did a great job bringing out each twin's personality in the limited time he was given. He & War also have such great chemistry & their kisses are always good, so the relationship felt real enough despite it kind of being an insta-crush.

Watching this, I completely forgot that it was an advertisement for Supalai Sense Condominiums, and honestly it did a great job. If I were moving to Thailand (I wish), I would consider them.

Not really much else to say. As vertical series go, this is one of the better ones.

Title is misleading I was expecting a 'daddy' kink & I'm disappointed.

No, but really, Saithan needed to call Sila "Daddy" at least once.

The subtitles were a bit off in the beginning & on the site I watched at least, they didn't translate the Korean in the first episode.

I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed this series. I had positive thoughts going into it, but no real expectations, & I was pleasantly surprised when I found myself watching it without getting distracted. That being said, it probably helped that I sped through all the GL scenes like I was being paid to. I thought I would really like the pair at first, but they really had way more screen time than was needed, and I honestly didn't like Phae at all. I don't mind emotional or weak characters, but it felt like she spent half the series crying over something & doing nothing about it but seeking comfort from Gale. Some of their time should have been given to Saengla and Mok, who we don't really get a resolution for; technically, we don't even get a beginning, just a lot of hinting that the feelings are there.

I may have rated this series higher if the GL couple's screen time had been cut in half. Their parts added very little to the story that it could have easily been done, especially since they knew each other already and the attraction was already there.

My favorite character was Saithan. SaengNuea's acting was perfect in portraying a bratty but caring person with very little self-worth and plenty of trauma. (He's also adorable.) I was actually hoping that Sila would get to have a conversation with his mother & tell her about the damage she's mentally caused Saithan. Between the mother & the abusive asshole of a boyfriend, this boy needs therapy. He literally thinks that if anything bad happens, it's his fault; he doesn't like making mistakes, and his self-worth is in the trash, and he hides all of that behind a smile & a sassy attitude.

The plot twist was both obvious and a surprise. Wipa being a Spy for Khum Rimpha wasn't surprising at all; I kind of figured that out around episode 4 or 5, but her being Montri's illegitimate daughter actually caught me off guard. I don't see why any of the kids would do anything for this man; he treats them like they are disposable pawns that can never please him. Why do they want his acknowledgement? He's horrible. He's the kind of father who I would only stick around until I'm employed and able to stand on my own feet; after that, don't expect to see me again. The mom also just smiled and nodded like there wasn't a thought going on upstairs; the lady didn't stand up to her husband at all concerning her kids.

This was a short series that neither stands out nor fades into the background.

Finally watching this was like a weight being lifted off me

It took me so long to finally watch this one. I've had this show in plan-to-watch, undecided, back to plan-to-watch, to currently watch, then back to plan-to-watch over the last 10 months & I finally decided enough was enough and forced myself to sit down and start it. After the first episode, I started watching it at X1.5 & X2 speed, mostly X2, because everything just felt slow. Not the pacing per se, but the line delivery felt so slow that even at X2 speed I had to check a couple of times to make sure I wasn't watching at normal speed. I also knew that I was going to have to push myself to finish it in one sitting, or I was going to have a hard time making myself pick it back up.

That's not to say the series is bad; it's just that nothing really happens. It's definitely a coming-of-age story that focuses more on the friendship and romance of our main characters than actual problems. Except for episode 8, we actually got some drama there.

Before I really get into spoilers, let's talk about the things I liked
* The OP was sung by Phuwin
* Dunk and Lookjun's chemistry
* Dunk & Phuwin's kiss; it gave me a good laugh. The music room scene right after was also funny.
* The acting was all around great. Dunk's was especially good. White was my favorite character. I need more series with Dunk and Phuwin together.
* The sleepover was probably one of my favorite scenes because of how White and Lune were getting dragged into things.

Now into the spoilerly complaints!

Starting from the very moment Lune is introduced. It is utter bullshit that Lune isn't noticed by anyone. Were they going for a Kuroko's Basketball angle where he has such little presence that no one noticed him? I'm not buying it.

Another thing that bothered me just a bit is that Zen (AJ's character) comes back in episode 4 for what reason? Why was he there? Why did he get kicked out of school? What does that have to do with Lune? I was actually interested in knowing these things, but I will also acknowledge that they aren't important.

Ivy annoyed me a lot in the beginning because of how possessive and outright aggressive she was. It wasn't until she found out about Star and Lune dating that I actually started to like her at all.

Most of Star's friend group is in love with her. *Eyeroll* I hate this mainly because it's so overdone. Ivy and White going back to being her friends like nothing happened also felt unrealistic. It's almost like they didn't need any space from her at all before they were back to being her friend and watching her love someone else. That would hurt way too much to continue being around them like nothing happened. She didn't really treat them the best either; in my opinion, her lying to them felt more like avoiding the problem than sparing their actual feelings.

I don't think Lune agreeing to keep their dating a secret was right either, but he at least had a good reason. Trauma. Honestly, I'm more upset that he started the relationship in the first place. He knew White liked her, and even if she didn't like him back, that is still your current best friend. Someone who helped make you not invisible to everyone, who included you in things, who made sure that you knew you were welcome. At least do the boy the courtesy of telling him that you like the same girl. I know that Lune is introverted and is afraid of stepping on toes, but he's already doing that by sneaking around and lying.

When Star was being threatened by Sunny/Nana, it led to even more sneaking around and lying, & they ended up hurting White more than if they had just told him the truth from the start. The thing White fears the most is being alone, and while they were dating & Jewel was finding out what love is, that is all they did to the poor boy. It only got worse after the threats, and to be honest, he forgave them way too easily. I don't think it would have gone as smoothly if everything with Nana hadn't happened & Lune hadn't tried to find any way possible to help. Also, I don't think Lune should have taken most of the blame. You've known the boy for a few months (maybe a year), & Star is one of your best friends from middle school. She should have been the one telling White that she liked Lune.

Star was easily my least favorite of the main characters. She was too much of a damsel in distress. One that apparently can't do anything wrong. Not only were she and Sera literally the same character, but also she explains to the 2 people that love her about her problems with Lune instead of the boy himself. SHE was the one who said they should include Sera in things to make great memories of her remaining time with them. The moment she became insecure or felt like he was spending more time with Sera than she should have spoken up. Not talk to other people. Not wait until she became irritated and angry. But talk to Lune and change how things were going. Did she have a right to be mad? Oh, 100%. Sera is Lune's ex who still has feelings for him, and Lune is still attached to her even if it's mainly guilt. Doesn't change the fact that she started it and then was too afraid to speak up and then played the victim like she was the only one in the relationship trying to make things work when she never spoke up. So yeah, she had the right to be mad, but I don't feel sorry for her. The only thing Lune did wrong here was be blinded by the guilt he was feeling and failing to compartmentalize. He deserved an apology from her, but never got it.

The only other thing that I didn't like was that Jewel & Tan didn't get enough screen time to make it believable that a playboy like Jewel just stopped being a playboy for him and got serious.
