I didn’t think I could be more disappointed than I already am but here we are. After reading the comments about the special ep I not only have zero interest in watching it but also feel embarrassment for Mame and the team about this brazenly blatant money grab that could be summarized as „ Happy End-baiting for L/P“. There‘re is cliffhangers and then there’s this. They’re not even trying to be subtle about their intentions and that all at the cost of their viewers (literally).
At this point the whole thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Same. I just finished ep 3 and while I like the visual style of this drama, the unrealistic dialogue and its awkward and slow deliveries are really getting to me by now :/
It’s like the whole series is in slow-mo

No, it really doesn’t. You might like Leon and Pop though. So if you’re unsure about dropping it you can skip or fast forward if you find yourself cringing too much

That‘s true. Forgiveness is a good thing to teach but you got to draw the line somewhere. Regardless of being forgiven or not, there rarely seems to be any proper punishment for the perpetrators.
Yes, especially in He’s Coming To Me the uncle apologized, opened some fond or something and everything is all and well. Same with Lhong, his punishment seems to be that he’s sad and regrets it.

Yeah, it’s probably their way of milking money. Same thing they did with TT the wedding episode.
I remember Lhong didn’t go to prison so I guess everything did work out for him lol

Wow, that sure sounds promising :(
But I gotta finish what I start, which means still 9 episodes to go. Goddammit.
I was at least hoping for good Leon/Pob ending but I guess not.

Thank you for your reply.

You’re right, I waited for the series to be over so I could easily binge watch it but I guess I didn’t expect any of the pairings to not get together at the end. I already started watching it so I’ll just continue and hope, like everyone else, for the special episode to give Leon and Pob their Happy Ending. The waiting time seems to be bearable at least.

I just started this series but can somebody tell me what happens to Leon and Pob? The comments here are ambiguously ominous...

I usually wait till the series is over and then binge watch it, knowing that the last episode is supposed to air today I started watching this series. I somehow managed to watch the special episode prequel and the first episode of DNS and I’m already agreeing with you on a lot of things. Especially Leo planking over Fiat! I cringed so hard at their scene in the prequel but I just couldn’t figure out what felt so wrong and you put it into words so wonderfully! Thank you for that. I feel like it was a mistake giving Mame another chance but...yeah.

Also, the Uber-Uke thing is truly annoying. Watching Fiats overly dramatic crying scenes I feel like crying myself. Only for the wrong reason.

That’s actually interesting bc he seem to remind a lot of people of a lot of different actors. He has a very unique face in that sense.

Yup, that one. Imo they look like they could be twins lol

Nothing special but it was cute I guess. One of the main leads reminds me so much if Sam Lin! I probably added an extra star just for that.

Maybe Sam Lin from WBL? He sure reminds me of him a lot

I agree as I’m not sure about the demographic either. Maybe they wanted to try something new and see if they could entice audiences to watch something they usually don’t? Who knows. I wish they’d have connected these storylines much more closely, especially if they wanted the audience to watch all of the episodes. Tbh it reminds me a lot of En of Love in its concept. These shorts feel like a preface to something. Or they feel like a rough pitch that could be extended into a full series. But yeah , I’m not super about their original intentions with this project either

A „mess“ is the perfect word to describe ... whatever you want to call this.
I applaud them for the intention to want to bring awareness to serious issues like sexual harassment and toxic fan-service but they failed in its execution by a mile. The whole thing felt like a distorted, mirrored version of our reality, sugarcoated with an improbable Happy End and lacking any deep discussion about the important subjects. „Lovely Writer“ had a better grip on the issues of toxic fan-service and that’s saying something.
If you want to showcase reality, then make it realistic. Serious subjects need serious discussions and not this trifle, superficial shite.

I‘m still not over Gameplay not being a part of the series anymore but at least Perth is back. Yay for that!

Proud found her closure with Tac and was finally hesitantly about to move on with Jaidee, which was indicated by her accepting Jaidees call.

I’ve seen episodes 1 and 3 so far and I liked them. I know that many here seem to be disappointed in the GL storyline and I can see why but I myself quite liked it. I think the twist of the story is interesting and could’ve beautifully worked as a longer series. It would’ve been nice to see the psychological effect of the „twist“ on each character in detail, especially Proud and Jaidee. I don’t think that the ending was sad. It was open, sure, but it heavily indicated a happy ending to come.

Ngl, I only watched one episode. I simply couldn’t take it anymore, it was so incredibly boring and made little to no sense. The dialogue felt like it was written by a person who’s never ever touched a pen in their life.
You’re right, „So Much in Love“ was at least entertaining lol Reminded me if the earlier days of Google Translate
