(Ep24) I feel I've missed way too many chemistry labs to be on the level with the experiment LOL. But...
So An LuRan is an organ trafficker who also dabs in genetic research and testing AND she couldn't have a kid so far because she's old - in an assisted reproduction lab though... - and what, does nobody go to jail or something for the Thalium poisoning?! The chemistry student who stole the salt doesn't get booted out of school, the clarvoyant lover who gave him the poison doesn't get jailed, the woman who plied him with aphrodisiacs also doesn't get punished in any way...
And in the middle of it all - she missed him having a massive cardiac event because she was off harvesting organs?! And somehow the mysteriously evil Dr. Fang does NOT know about THAT?!
Because why?...
And why is Shen Yi suddenly his watchdog while he's away?
Shen Yi's been doing way too many shady things lately, baby, get on your bike, ride home, drink your milk quietly and go to sleep, the big boys will handle this.
DU CHENG YOU IDIOT WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHILE ALL THIS IS GOING ON
Gosh i got goosebumps from Shen Yi in ep 20. Tan Jian Ci can really bring out Shen Yi complexity perfectly, i…
LOL, I wanted to slap him straight through the screen, he almost gave me a heart attack, I thought he was having a fugue and descending into madness!!! :D
how does the book ends can someone please tell me?
Kan gets out of prison a few years later with a suspended sentence because of good behaviour and Tew is there to pick him up and they continue right from where they left off. It's actually a HEA.
Hopefully they filmed a special ep - though it makes a lot of impact like this, too.
Where did you read the novel, because from your comment I got intrigued 😀
They're a publishing house that's been doing a LOT of danmei TL and now they're picking up Thai and Japanese works too. They did all MXTX novels and are working through Meatbun's LOL, and just licensed lots of amazing danmei (they're not extremely cheap, but I can attest they look amazing on paper - I think they do e-books too, but I just bought the paper books because I'm that kind of reader LOL). This is them (if you're interested in their danmei prints, there's a list):
They have a request form on their main page that anyone can fill (I requested about three danmei novels that I love and they licensed them!! I am pretty sure I wasn't the only one requesting though LOL).

Search Anna's Archive for "Euthanasia 2 Sammon" (in those words). And for the first volume (there are two), you can search for "Spare Me Your Mercy Euthanasia". I don't think it's an official TL (maybe someone picks it up, but I don't know about it so far.)
For anyone interested... SevenSeas DOES this - if people request the TL of danmei or Asian BL, they pick them up to license, from time to time. They already picked KinnPorsche for an official EN TL (I think the first volume is already out). So you can try :D
ETA... You know what. I think I'll go request it. Maybe they'll decide it's worth TLing :D
I wonder if they'll do the aftermath as a special episode (because that's not where it ends in the novels). This…
The novel ending goes like this: 8 years later Kan is conditionally released from prison (with a suspended sentence of about 10 more years to go if he reoffends in some way) and Tew is there to take him home. Given how they left off, Kan is pretty certain there won't be any relationship between them but Tew pretty quickly lets him know he also grew to understand why Kan did what he did and he forgave him for his mother - or rather, he too accepts his mother's dying wishes.
Then, even if Kan can never do anything medically-related ever again, he still has a support network made by Tew's friends and colleagues that he (Tew) makes accept Kan, too. And then they have a HEA.
I seriously think that warrants a short special (or even a full special) episode.

This has GOT to be one of the best Thai dramas of the year and actually the first Sammon-written drama I actually liked a whole lot. Also one of the very best OP and theme songs of any Thai drama I've ever watched (maybe even a bit better than my previous favourite, Fake Protagonist from Theory of Love, LOL).
There's a great chemistry between the leads, none of the support charas are overdone - neither Boss or Nurse On, I liked them all and they all made sense. Great writing!!
I seriously wish they did a few minutes of an extra, just for those who won't read the actual novel ending, LOL. You all deserve it :D
Mid-ep20... WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F*CK IS SHEN YI DOING HAS HE LOST HIS FREAKING TINY ARTISTIC MIND
ETA If I were Du Cheng I would've slapped him into next week just for that stunt. I wonder why he isn't in a madhouse by now. Don't tell me this is where the season is heading to dammit.
Still not really feeling it. For a 12-eps series, it's moving too slow for the kind of story it seems to want to tell. The pacing keeps jumping all over the place, the songs go in wherever with no rhyme or reason, I don't think I'll be sticking with this one. I might give it another ep, if I remember next week that this is airing...
I'm thinking about to watch this drama, but I'm not sure yet.Can someone please let me know, what this drama is…
It's one of the best dramas I've ever watched and went on the rewatch list as soon as I finished it. This is a plot-driven, character-driven, less-martial arts, less special effects, less romance (though not zero) kind of drama. Great attention was given to sets and music, too.
It needs attention and patience and it won't move fast - more like a behemoth that once in motion will just go on and on and on.
It also can't be described in just a few words - but think of it as a masterpiece revenge story and also a redemption tale and one of the most beautiful bromances ever (with no romantic angle if you want to know).
I'm not really sold, I'll wait out on the second episode to decide. The strongest selling point is the FL's family (particularly the way both parents form a wall to protect their son), the weakest point (for me) is her expression when looking at people (I KNOW why she's doing it - because of her son's issue - BUT it looks fake as hell and makes her always look kind of out of it.)
I am not really in the mood of a trust-and-break-and-trust again story, though, I hope they move on pretty quickly out of that cycle. And I seriously wish for some bromance between the two JinWoo-s. Here's hoping.
Very good so far, the suspense actually works and the ending isn't predictible at all (I think it would work with either a HEA or a BE, but it still isn't clear what they're choosing for it). The sweet moments (the few of them) are even sweeter because of the uncertainty.
IMHO this is one of the better Thai BLs so far (and there isn't even all that much BL in it anyway, other than the relationship). So skinship isn't really necessary to make it good :D
Sequels, what sequels, what did the storyteller mean? Because I'm in (I know they're just teasing though, LOL).…
The part that wasn't that smooth was Song Han's sudden switch from cuddlebug to plotting revenger - because WHY?! He used to love his (not) mother! And the freaking dad - WHY?! They were both his sons, and YanTang was the elder, so deal with it and stop making so many damned mistakes!
At some point, everybody was poisoning everybody else, LOL, it was like nobody did any honest sword-or-knife-killing anymore.
And once her past-life birth mark disappeared (and the hilarious cockblocking scenes in their wedding night happened) she never ever tried again to explain why she did what she did?! Someone as paranoid as YanTang should've been all over that. Oh well.
Shoutout to JiYong for being a sneaky plotter along with the Emperor (who was actually kind of weak, rule-of-law-wise....)
Again, a pretty strong ending to the drama year, I'm very glad I tried that first ep because then it was just a continuous binging :D
Sequels, what sequels, what did the storyteller mean? Because I'm in (I know they're just teasing though, LOL).
Zoey Meng was great, and so was Li YunRui - and also basically all the cast, TBH. The story was pretty tight, the cinematography worked, I just wish it moved a bit faster in the romance part and had longer fighting or plotting scenes.
Overall, a very nice drama, a very nice surprise for the end of the year :D
...I might even try the novel, though around 500 chapters seem a bit daunting LOL.
PS But YanTang looks best with his grizzled hair, I wish they had him in his gray hair more :D
ETA PSA There's a post-credits short scene epilogue to the final episode you'd want to watch.
