The series itself is good, and I really like the main couple. They fit together perfectly, like a pair of gloves. But I honestly think this is one of the worst adaptations of a novel I’ve ever seen, because they changed so much that it completely affected the characters. And because of that, people end up hating Little Jane, while Big is basically a total mess. Don’t even get me started on the whole fight they had before they finally reconciled, or on how Little doesn’t seem to have an issue anymore with the favors Big does. Little was also much more sexual in the book and liked it when Big was rough with him. It fit his character perfectly and it made sense with his development in the book. The whole storyline about Little being able to shoot was removed, which was VERY hot. 😂 The whole debt storyline also belonged to his sister in the novel. Little wanted to strangle her when he found out, and Big had to physically stop him. And when Little told her that she would see what happens, well… she did. 😂 That storyline made so much more sense than the whole story with his brother, who had already gotten his life together, matured, and built a life for himself. He was actually a great guy, especially after the accident. And in the book, Big was absolutely ruthless. He practically ruined Little Jane’s family, and there was even a point where he said he wouldn’t help his family because of his love for Little. They weren’t even supposed to be allowed to stay in that house. Seriously, I feel so sorry for everyone who read the novel and is now watching the series. As far as the adaptation goes, it’s honestly a disaster. If I had written the novel, I would never have agreed to these changes. This story was supposed to have proper gangster vibes, but instead it feels like a school play. 😭 They were both supposed to be equally red flags, in the eyes of many people. That was literally the whole point of the story in the book, they were both toxic in their own ways, and that’s what made them work so well together. But in the series, apparently Little is the red flag and Big is the green one. Like… are we seriously doing this? 😭 That being said, I do like the actors. I think the actors playing the main couple are convincing, and I really like Jamie too. But as for the rest… I honestly have no words.
Heng has to be the most beautiful actor I’ve ever seen. Like, genuinely, since forever I haven’t seen someone with this kind of flow. He’s exactly the type of guy where, if they made a ranking of which men are most attractive to gay guys, he’d be number one 🫣 I honestly don’t even blame Big for being obsessed 😅
You’re saying the scene was “too simple” and didn’t fit the characters, but you’re looking at it through the lens of the book, not the show. The scene in this episode, just like the one in episode six, was specifically about the relationship they have in the series. People keep looking at everything through the book, when you really have to separate the two. Maybe the writers and the director simply decided that this was the way they wanted to portray their relationship. And honestly, why is there such a huge problem with shows about two men? Why does everything have to be some huge, intense, sexual thing? The scene in the book worked for the situation that happened in the book. The show handled it differently, and in the context of the show, I think it works better. Even the way JP and Little Jane are written is different. They’re not exactly the same characters they were in the book. They’re both softer in the series, for example, and that obviously affects the way their romantic relationship is portrayed as well. And then you get offended when someone says people can’t discuss the show. But seriously, look at the series page. You had a whole hour-long episode where so much happened, and the only thing that caught your attention was the sex scene? Not the way they started opening up to each other, not their relationship with the younger brother, not the „conflict” with their father, no, the most important thing was the NC scene. Like, seriously, are you actually watching the show for the story and the characters?
If you’re watching a love story and your biggest complaint is that the NC wasn’t “hot enough,” maybe the problem isn’t the scene. It’s your expectations. Not every intimate scene is there to entertain you sexually, sometimes it’s there to show love, intimacy, and the relationship between two people. If all you wanted was “in, out, done,” you really can just have sex yourself.
What a time to be alive. Little really went from that miserable life we’re all living to being a sugar baby with a sugar daddy and a kid, the full package. All they’re missing is a dog. 💀
Does NO ONE see the irony in all of this,Jane Patrick fell in love with the boy because he was the one who did…
The boy is cute and must’ve be protected (Baby vibe), also judging by that little circle of guys lining up for him, Little must have some pretty good fluids🫣
I miss my favourite "little jane." Please come back, the mansion seems empty without you. Jamie and I…
Well, well, well… A few comments ago it was “strong independent man, high value, I don’t need anyone.” And now he’s whining? Where is his man? Oh, the irony🤡
God, I’m so confused. But can someone please explain to me why, if Dan has always been such a huge problem, Big Jane never told Little Jane anything about Dan? Like, “Don’t get involved with him, don’t look at him, don’t talk to him, just pretend he doesn’t exist.” Because logically, if Dan is pretending to be this innocent, perfect guy, wouldn’t Big Jane know that he’s some kind of “threat” and at least warn him? And then in the last episode, especially that conference room scene, Big Jane was acting like he didn’t even register that Dan was there. I mean, obviously he was jealous, we know that, but it was almost like it hadn’t even occurred to him that Dan could actually be a problem. And also, why is Dan suddenly showing up again after FIVE YEARS, right when those two meet again? Are they going to lean more into the jealousy angle? I just don’t understand what the actual purpose of Dan is here. Why bring him back after five years, all of a sudden? (Btw I love Dan🌚)
Guys, calm down with the hate on Little Jane. If Little Jane were as perfect as you expect him to be, there would be no plot. Bigs like him the way he is and that’s the moral of the story, just like in Bridget Jones’s Diary😙
