Trouble-chan

I don't know what part of the States you live in, but I got family all over the country and that's NEVER been heard of by them. It's certainly not a thing here in the UK. HALF siblings means they share the blood of one parent and yes, both in the US and here in the UK it's taboo for those siblings to be together romantically. My family in the US tell me that step siblings mean the same there as it does here - children only related by the marriage of their parents, NOT by blood.

Also step siblings, growing up together is NOT taboo there any more than it is anywhere else. My gay cousin grew up with his best friend - they were like twins all their lives; virtually raised together at my aunt's house. When they were 18 they realised they had romantic feelings for each other - going by your insane logic, they shouldn't be together either because they were raised as brothers because no one had realised they were gay (even they didn't until they were in their mid to late teens).

So I suggest you do some research on how the world thinks rather than just your peculiar hometown.

You are so right - here in the UK it's all about rankings AND money.....the higher the rank,the more sought after the school by parents, the more students that attend - and the more government cash they get.

I doubt I will be able to watch I think - will bring back too many bad memories. My school was very rough and violent. Teachers turned blind eyes to serious shit and only intervened when it was another teacher being beaten. SOme of the teachers were also violent, another was a violent alcoholic who put one of my friends in hospital. So for me, it would be too hard. But thank you so much for your advice. :)

I'm going with the 'hadn't thought that far' and soon the writers will be face palming and bashing their heads off walls as the reality of the dead end they're stuck in dawns. XD

Thank you - I was beginning to feel I was the odd one.....

That does have me worried about season 2 - it's a bit 'the ghost and Mrs Muir' really, him having to wait until she ages and dies...OR maybe him getting to inhabit another body if the owner pegs out? Still, it's very shaky ground, so maybe the unrequited love route because one of them's dead? I do wonder if the writers have written themselves into a major corner?

^^ Thanks....it HURT. (╥﹏╥)

I've had another idea - maybe look on Netflix? They get a TON of South Korean dramas, a lot of my favourites are on there. So this is a possible. Search under South Korea, or one of the actors names as drama names are often different. Like 'The Heirs' has just gone up but as the 'Inheritors'.

Oh yeah - apparently I'm 'selfish' because I have just been told I have a prolapsed disc needing an op and it means I'll be even worse getting around than usual (I'm partially disabled). So it means my husband won't be waiting on her all the time. Hence me being selfish. She's giving my daughter a broken cat ornament for christmas because she 'can't afford anything else', but bought a present for her HAIRDRESSER who's 'like a daughter' to her (shame said hairdresser doesn't pay off some of her debts like we're having too). I could go on (and on and on) but you get the picture! LOL!

How was yours? That bad or worse? God I hope they weren't worse - that would literally be Satan and wife right? :$

Thanks for the info, I'll probably miss it - would be too weird to watch, especially as I'm working my way through S2 of Together with Me. :)

Bullying is so rife globally and yet no educational system ANYwhere in the world will do anything to change it. It's so stupid. Thanks for the advice; I'm going to take it and miss this, I don't really need to visit with my old demons. THANK YOU for letting me know.

Antique Bakery is my most favourite Kdrama of all time...I love the manga and the anime too. Only one I love more is My Little Monster.

Totally agree - SLS is strong with this guy. Breaks my heart he never gets the girl (or even ANY happy ending.)

I think Ugly Duckling: Perfect Match is my favourite Thai drama of all time - with Rak Lon Jai Nai-Klaeng Joob (Kiss Me) in the number 2 spot and Full House (Thai version) in third. In fact it was Perfect Match that had me hunting down more of Push (above in the smaller poster of Ugly Duckling) and Mike and Aom's work (she was EXCELLENT in the GL story Yes or No? and Yes or No 2). Although there's not as much of Mike and Aom around at that moment sadly.

Alex Chang - (in alpha order)
Bangkok Traffic Love Story
Full House (Thai Version)
Love Books Love Series: Dark Fairy Tale
Love Books Love Series: Secret & Summer
My Dear Loser: Edge of 17
My Dear Loser: Happy Ever After
My Dear Loser: Monster Romance
Rak Lon Jai Nai-Klaeng Joob (aka Kiss Me),
Ugly Duckling Perfect Match
U-Prince - Lovely Geologist, Single Lawyer and Crazy Artist (those are the three best from the series). DON'T watch the Handsome Cowboy unless you like the whole slap/kiss stuff.)
Wannueng Jaa Pben Superstar (aka I wanna be a Sup’tar)
Will You Marry Me (aka Waen Dok Mai)
I have to say in the more serious Thai romance dramas there's a LOT of the 'slap/kiss' stuff, so you might better off sticking to the romcoms.

If you like BL then there's a TON -
2 Moons (the best of the best)
Love Sick
SOTUS and SOTUS 2
Together With Me (season 2 of this is still airing currently).


Do NOT bother with Bad Romance (it was just bad.)
Love by Chance, Kiss The Series and Bromance the Series were recommended by a friend but I haven't got round to watching them yet and Make it Right (s1 & s2) was okay.

I really don't like seeing Push being the bad guy again. I think he was at his best in Ugly Duckling: Perfect Match. But when he did U-Prince: The Handsome Cowboy, it seemed to start a trend of him playing these abusive roles. It's a shame because he's such a nice guy and a good actor..... :(

This has the most f***ed up ending in the history of Dramaland - IF it follows the Korean original which made me scream and throw things. If you've seen Apple of My Eye, you'll know what I mean.......

It's a BL joke.....have you never seen SOTUS? Krist played Arthit was dating younger student Kongpop. It was really good and hence the joke.

blacksky1263 - No, I completely understand what you mean. As the child of a serial womaniser who made my late mum's life hell with his multitude of mistresses right up until the day she died. But I know someone who made a huge mistake and cheated on his fiancee after a REALLY drunken night out with friends. He DEEPLY regretted it and, he swore it would never happen again, it never has. So I think there's two types of cheaters - those like my father who just cheat for kicks, giggles and to hurt their families and those like my friend who made a one time mistake.

It crucified him but I told him NOT to tell his fiancee because him freeing up his own conscience for HIS peace of mind was NOT what was important - the more he suffered from guilt the more he'd know not to do it ever again. He even changed his job so he worked in an entirely different part of London. Now 17 years later they're still happily married and have two boys. So I think it depends - my father shouldn't have been given all those chances (he's still doing it with the harem he's dating now - I don't get involved. My mum got me to promise to keep an eye on him and I do, but his health is my concern, nothing else). But my friend did deserve that chance.

BUT, like you, I've been on Knock's side since Bad Romance because Korn pushed and pushed for Knock to be with him, then - in Bad Romance - was so dismissive because he hadn't come out to his family.

On a plus side, if there is any, is that the gigolos aren't in their mid 30s (the usual age for that style of work) and the girls still 16....now that WOULD be unwatchable and hugely creepy. So hopefully it's not what we're thinking and the trailer's very misleading. :)

SangoChama - the trailer appears to have them in what looks like a high school setting..... so I'm guessing the boys are 17/18 tops........though the gjrls only look about 16. Not to mention gigolos that young are underage compared to their older counterparts.
