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
I really loved episode 8. Su-been and Hee-sun are so cute together their interactions are genuinely nice to watch. Iām happy that Su-been is opening up more with her. And Hyun-jae and Joo-youngā¦ theyāre such a comfort couple, simple and warm to watch.
Go-eun and Hyeon-woo arenāt that interesting to me, but theyāre still cute. I think itās mostly because Hyeon-woo doesnāt really know how to hold a conversation or express his feelings in an engaging way.
As for Seung-il and Mina-sue, I honestly donāt see any spark or chemistry between them. Seung-il also doesnāt seem like the type Mina-sue is usually interested in. That said, I did feel a little bad for Hee-sun when she and Su-been ran into Mina-sue and Seung-il during their date even though it turned out fine in the end.
Iāll admit, Mina-sue was okay in this episode not irritating to watch. And when Seung-il said what most viewers and panelists were probably thinking, I was actually happy. Paradise dates are meant for focusing on your date, not watching someone elseās. š¤¦āāļø I really didnāt like how she kept looking out the window for Su-been when she was supposed to be spending time with Seung-il. I know sheās not into him, but still.
I honestly donāt have words for this series lol, and Iām only on episode 3. It makes me want to stop watching because Iām scared of whatās going to happen, but at the same time itās so addictive I literally canāt stop. And Zhen Zhen did he actually cheat on Shuoleng? I just really hope neither Zhen nor YSL gets hurt too badly because of their breakupā¦ and I also hope Zhen finds someone else .
Iām rewatching it again, and I honestly love that scene where Qinn is singing on stage and Duang is completely…
Now it kind of makes me think that Qinn saw Duang before not as a crush or anything but maybe just noticed him for being kind or simply the way he is. Like, he got intrigued, and thatās why heās always locking eyes with him.
Iām rewatching it again, and I honestly love that scene where Qinn is singing on stage and Duang is completely mesmerized by him. And this isnāt a spoiler, just my feelingābut I think Qinn is actually the one who fell first, not Duang. Like, when Qinn saw Duang and walked off the stage, thatās what it felt like to meā¦ as if he didnāt want to face his old crush again. I could be totally wrong, but Iām really loving this interpretation hehe š„¹
Jamie (Northās character) will have a boyfriend, Marvis (Ottoās character)
Otto and Kim look so similar to me that I honestly thought they were the same person š¤¦āāļø my badāthis is my first time seeing them in a series, so I got confused š
Jamie (Northās character) will have a boyfriend, Marvis (Ottoās character)
So Duangās friend North the āyouāre running out of timeā guy and Otto (glasses guy) are a couple?? Wow š® Not gonna lie, I was shipping the other two š never saw this coming, but Iām excited for them too.
