I tried SO hard not to watch it until it was completely released, but I failed and ended up watching the first two episodes š. And honestly? They're good
Even though it's a bit different from the manhwa, it's still really entertaining. I absolutely love Skyāhe's such a cutie pie, just like Hansoo š„¹
And can we talk about the actor playing Jay? Damn. I LOVE his voice. I don't usually obsess over someone's voice, but this man has me hooked š. So far, he's my favorite because his acting feels really natural . Sun is doing a great job too.
That being said... I cannot take Sun's long hair seriously š. It looks kind of poorly done to me, and every time I see it, I get distracted š
But overall, I'm really enjoying it so far. The changes don't bother me much, and the cast is doing a great job.
HAHA š ikr?? Itās gonna be freaking funny if they actually pull it off right š But honestly, thereās this ONE scene in the manhwa thatās so insanely good and sexy that Iām both excited and terrified to see what they do with it. Now we just gotta sit here and suffer while waiting to find out whether theyāll keep it, change it, or completely water it down š
AHHHHHH I freaking love this manhwa š Iāve reread it so many times that I genuinely lost count. Iām probably gonna stall watching until every episode is released because I already know that if itās good, Iāll end up craving more every week š
As much as I want them to keep the same names, I know thatās probably impossible since itās a Thai series š BUT Iām still waiting for the Sam Baekwon jokeā¦ iykyk hehehe.
Mostly, I just really hope they donāt change the revenge part at all. Like pls š I know itās toxic as hell and not everyone can handle it, but thatās literally one of the most satisfying parts of the story for me. I have SO many expectations because this is one of my favorite BL manhwas ever.
Even if they change some things, itās understandable and thereās no hate from my side hehe. Honestly, I feel like this adaptation is gonna hit.
Episode 1 is so good lol. Iām loving everyoneās stories, and my absolute faves are Rome and Dean. I thought Rome had a crush on Dean at first, but I guess I was wrong. Also, the nose ring on Aou is š„, and Dean is such a crazy characterā¦ I feel like heās the one whoās gonna mess everything up hehehe.
And Tua (Gawin) looks so adorable in his outfits, and Joss is as handsome as ever.
Also, those guys who are going to perform with Duang and Qinn are really getting on my nerves. Just because they might be better at singing and dancing doesnāt give them the right to insult others. Theyāre not kids they should know how to choose their words instead of just spouting nonsense.
I know Iām talking about this a lot, but it genuinely irritated me. And no hate to the actors at allātheyāre actually doing such a good job if this is the kind of reaction theyāre getting from me, right?
And in the ending scene where Kamin is cleaning the house while Jade keeps messing it up by eating, their little bickering made them feel like a married couple of ten years š
Now episode 2ā¦ this is where things started getting a little messy for me because of how quickly it jumps from one scene to another.
But KELVIN my god. I swear I got actual chills when he hit his own head with that glass bottle. I really do have a thing for these kinds of characters that I usually only see in comics or novels, so watching this on screen was insane for me š
And the way his expression changes when he looks at Vier? Absolutely perfect. Imagine smiling after getting hit with a glass bottle just because the other person showed a bit of worry yeah, my heart actually dropped. Thatās officially my favorite scene so far.
About the timeline though: after the negotiations and the contract being called off (Iām still a bit confused about their first call after that), and before the present kidnapping [ the second one ]Kelvin had already kidnapped Vier once before. That seems to be around 7 months ago, since Vier mentioned he shouldnāt have contacted Kelvin a year ago, and we know Kelvin ghosted him for about 3 months.
My biggest question isā¦ why didnāt Vier take any action after being kidnapped the first time? Is it because he loves Kelvin despite not agreeing with his actions? I guess weāll find out later hehe.
And that ending of episode 2 those scenes that felt like a preview but didnāt fully look like one?? Yeah. We have BDSM here. WTHHH šš„ Iām SOOOOO excited for the next episode.
In episode 1, I was like, Kelvinā¦ how are you this naive?? Are we sure this is the same black flag guy I saw in the trailer? But then I watched the preview for the next episode and OMGGG heās here. Our black flag has officially arrived šš„
I already have so many thoughts even though itās just ep 1. First of all, the outfits and acting? Absolute fire. And the storyline too , I honestly didnāt expect Kelvinās family to be this messed up, but once that was revealed, I kind of understood why he turned out the way he did.
Lalin though??? Total baddie. Bargaining for 20% of the overall shares in exchange for marriage is something Iāve never seen in typical power and money arranged marriages. Sheās a diva, period.
And Vier god, heās hot, intelligent, and sexy. Everything is better the moment heās on screen š
Then thereās Kenā¦ this man really needs to understand that just because his father has his back now doesnāt mean itāll last. People like Kelvin arenāt meant to be underestimated.
Iām back after two weeks, and even though I do like the series, Iām struggling to continue it because I have a lot of issues with how itās progressing. And just to be clear itās not JoongDunk. Theyāre actually acting really well, which is the main reason Iām still watching.
At first, I loved the pacing, but now itās starting to get on my nerves because parts of it just donāt make sense especially the police work and investigation. I enjoy the cute moments between Jade and Kamin, but thereās an active serial killer case, and it feels strange to see so much focus on romance when they should be chasing leads.
I was really hoping to see more of the investigation side, but we barely get any of it. Kamin, in particular, was introduced as someone intelligent and sharp, so I expected him to actively connect clues and push the case forward, not mainly learn about the Avengers group through Truth-or-Dare cards.
At times, it honestly feels like the killer is the only reason the story moves forward, instead of the investigators driving the plot. I know this is by the same author as Goddess Bless You from Death, so I donāt want to blame the author entirely without reading the novel because the adaptation might have changed things.
I know this series is lacking in many ways, and honestly, itās not the first time. Iām also not expecting much from GMMTV anymore, because they rarely produce truly high-quality shows even when the script itself is good. The production budget always feels low, and thatās what makes me sad this series couldāve been so much more popular if it had better production value.
GMMTV became popular largely because their actors manage to act really well despite the low budgets.
Manā¦ sometimes I really want to join GMMTV when I become a CA and fix their budgeting decisions myself š¤¦āāļø
Okay, itās getting way too messy now, so Iām going to watch episode 10 together with the remaining episodes otherwise Iāll seriously get a headache š
Please, Iām begging, Iām rooting for Hee-sun and Su-been. And I was rooting for Min-gee and Seung-il too, but now everythingās such a mess that I honestly donāt know whoās going to choose who anymore.
Alsoā¦ am I the only one who feels like I-geon is a red flag? Because something about him just feels off to me
