What? Enough with the age gap nonsense. Those of you with this issue are either too old to be understanding or too young to understand. I refuse to believe that two young people in their twenties within a 5 year age difference is considered to be an age gap. The tag for this show and these ageist reviews are just proof that ageism is all too real. If you think that youāll never experience working with someone younger than you in a higher position or someone older thatās more qualified but in a lower position than you, well you just need to get out there more. Or maybe youāve had it too easy. Either way, āage is an issue of mind over matter. If you donāt mind it, it doesnāt matterā.
Hear me out, if you just skip through the scenes that donāt directly involve Ryong and Eve, itās not that terrible. Their storyline is interesting and acted well. Thatās not to say the acting isnāt great in this, Oh Jung Se, Iām looking at you and your character yet again has me wrapped around his finger. But credit must also be given where credit is due, the ML and FL are acting their asses off and I appreciate that about them. I have looked forward to watching this every week, which is worth acknowledging. Respect. Fighting.
I am far too conflicted when it comes to trying to figure out what to rate this show. I loved the actors for both Sang Min and Dinneaw, and that this was the first Thai/Korean BL collab where I felt the language exchange wasnāt a language barrier. But just, ahhh! what a missed opportunity this was for the scale of acting versus the lacking story.
I feel it needs to be said, because my favorite relationship of this whole show (FadelStyle are a close second) is Fadel and Bison. And this is not to say I ship them, itās that they stole every scene they were in together. Their brotherly bond and trust and level of care that you can only feel for family, they had it all. I loved how they communicated and respected each other during misunderstandings and were always family first. Their grounded and bonded relationship pushed the show forward and always made it feel like it had meaning.
This was a really great show. But I have to give the most credit that it was the first Joong Dunk series where I truly fell madly in love with them. Iām going to miss Fadel and Style. š
Has anyone else watched this again just to have a drink with Jung Kook and Jimin? So many great opportunities. Make sure to have at least a few beers on hand. Actually, this is the perfect show for drinking games. Every time they cheers, drink. Every time they eat, drink. Every time they say āI like thisā or āI love thisā, drink. Every time they say āIām hungryā, drink. Pick any option, youāll be inebriated and blushing red from both the spirits and these adorable men.
I canāt really add to anything more than what has already been said about this drama, whether it be positive or negative, but Iāve got no regrets from my viewing. If anything, it shows how well kdramas portrayal of women has progressed. Here we are, almost 7 years later, and kdrama FLās arenāt so often portrayed as the everlasting victim, but are now more often stronger willed and can even be the hero. So Iāll take it for what it is and leave behind the rest.
Huh? Even if the translations werenāt clear, what was shown onscreen shouldāve cleared any confusion unless…
Do Hagiwara and Fujisawa have the same first name? Itās listed for the actorās that their characterās share the name Kazuaki. Iām likely just confused on whether theyāre listing the surname first or last.
