I'm not expecting it to be just romance and I don't want it to be considering the show's subject matter. But there is too much screen time of them filming rather than them navigating their complicated feelings for one another, not to mention the messiness of both of them already being in relationships and popular celebrities in the public eye. I wanna see more of that, the outside angst, as you said. We still have more episodes, but they need to pick up the pace because there seems to be a whole lot of plot yet to be seen because the show they are filming is taking up majority of the screentime.

I was thinking the same thing! The plot, source material, pacing, and production value are definitely deserving of 24 episodes, if not 16. Certainly not 12! What were they thinking? Especially since too much screen time is spent on Zhang Zhun and Zhen Xin's characters within the drama rather than their lives as actors who lust for one another. I need more of that.

So, I am no longer loving how the majority of the episodes are showing the "show within a show." Feels a bit like a cop out. I want to see the drama and tension between Zhen Xin and Zhang Zhun as actors, not as their characters. Don't get me wrong, I do like seeing the TV show they are filming unfold, but I want to see their "real lives" too. We only have a limited number of episodes, and the plot has barely moved forward.

Seriously, what is the point of Donut's character in this show??? 😅🫠🫣

I agree with you regarding LF and YC's relationship, as well as your stance on OP's tantrum. The OP has no conversational/debate skills and it show. Plus, bringing up your one spelling mistake to try and make you look incompetent and wrong it a really weak basis here. 😒

Exactly how I feel! Both MLs annoy me. I do not like their dynamic, nor their fragility and dysfunctional relationship that is supposed to pass for a romance. Despite everything he's been through, I didn't need six episodes to figure out how much of a pushover Li You En would be for Qui Yu. The tears were cute in the first episode, but the sobby puppy-dog look only goes so far. Especially when your love interest is a consistent a-hole! Toughen up!

Well that's why the first impressions of this plot had me raising my eyebrows. They didn't give us much to goff of other than Moo's Chinese ethnicity aversion and obviously there must be a good reason why so I'm going to watch the show and wait for the full explanation. Just saying at first glance, the whole, not wanting to date someone over their race, and the other party still overly gaga for them had me looking sideways and needing more information pronto

Nope they could have watered it down but not by that much. It doesn't matter if you were a novel reader or not. Typhoon deserved more justice than what he got and so did we as the viewers for having to watch it week after week. If you didn't want to watch it you could skip that part but I and a lot of other people were annoyed the much deserved revenge was pretty non-existent.

No you've got a point here and you're totally valid with your complaints. These errors, or better yet, nitpicks, have bothered me too as more days pass by but not too much. I'm still not over the lame injustice of how easily Typhoon 's dad got off in Beside the Sky in comparison to the novel. Such a waste. I wanted to see the sweet revenge in live action, but the production team botched it, so I am sill not over it 😞

Ya how tragic. I want to visit Thailand too and many other Asian countries, but that's an honest turnoff, especially for the darker-skinned tourists. It's their way of life, but it can also be quite offensive. I'd also just stay away from those aisles and know that if I did ever come across those kinds of products, I'll be judging hardcore because wtf?

Fr! Even the lighter-skinned ones are whitewashed with makeup and filters, and it's so sad to see them change their skin tone for their roles. They are genuinely prettier without that pasty powder and foundation. I'm sick of it. I don't care how it is over there, that shouldn't be their so-called beauty standards. I want the darker-skinned Asians to shine, there are so many ignored beauties out there!

Couldn't agree more on this. I don't know if it's the filters or the heavy makeup applications, but it gets on my nerves. I don't know what's up with the blatant colorism in all of these shows, but it's time someone addresses it. These actors are not White, they are Asian, so they should embrace their natural, beautiful, sun-kissed, tanned skin and all that melanin! Enough with the needless whitewashing already, it's so unnecessary.

Now that you guys mention it, the acting could have been better, I agree for both Dao's British dad and Emma. Still pretty good show otherwise, but they (production) should have been more selective and careful regarding acting talent and chemistry when casting for young Arthit and Emma. A shame, but here we are. There's going to be some sore spots here and there

I enjoyed this week's episode a lot. I thought It was pretty spot on when comparing to the novel. However, to be honest, I wish they made Emma (Artit's mom) look sick, and American. wasn't she supposed to be American? I could have sworn the novel said she was but maybe she was an immigrant? Not a big deal, but it confused me during the flashbacks with young Arthit that the actress playing Emma had a non-American accent. I found there was a disconnection between her and young Arthit so I was a bit distracted and didn't believe the mother-son relationship between the two, which is a shame given the heavy subject matter and all of Thit's trauma but that's just me. Other than that, the episode was amazing 😍🤩

I adore BossNoeul but the plot of this series has me raising my eyebrows. Noeul's character Moo not wanting to date Boss's Fu because he's overly clingy and annoying but mostly because he's of Chinese-ethnicity? Very problematic. Hopefully, and I do mean hopefully, there is a good explanation for Moo Moo's aversion. It's like TharnType 2.0

I just finished this show, and overall, I quite enjoyed it! It was cute, and it didn't take itself too seriously. I think it got better towards the second half, to be honest, however. I didn't love how Apo (Thorn) would get drunk pretty much every time he would feel insecure or stressed out, and I didn't love how Apo's (Apo) behaviour pre-accident was widely accepted and expected by his parents. Why would they want him to act such a way, treat his brother the way he does, and be an all-around spoiled, bratty menace to anyone and everyone???? Bothered me a lot.

But I really liked and appreciated the overall storytelling and pacing of this series, as well as seeing the real sassy Apo, who didn't actually seem so bad. It was awesome seeing him put Yi in his place regarding Ya. I loved how everyone reconciled their differences and became one big happy family, as well as most of the mysteries and questions getting solved and answered. I did not at all care for the second couple, so I fast-forwarded through all of their scenes.

I loved Ya and Apo (Thorn) together, they were a beautiful couple, and BigPark perform some remarkable kisses and beautifully intimate/romantic NC scenes. Speaking of which, I enjoyed the romance and intimacy of their final NC scene in episode 10 (I loved all of episode 10), but I didn't like how the powers that be abruptly cut off the scene just when it was getting really good, and ended the episode and the show like that. It felt rushed, like there was more to say and do, and it took me right out of the moment as if the rug was pulled right out from under me when I was fully immersed in the scene. I was pretty annoying, but other than that, the show was a 9/10 for me! Go watch it!

Ok, so I, like many others, am in peril about "that" particular scene in episode 8. I was so so so excited to see those scenes be adapted into live action, and lo and behold, I was disappointed. Not surprising, though, since these BLs are notorious for watering down epic source materials from novels. I love the actors; they have all done a remarkable job thus far, but in episode 8, surely the writers and director must have known people would want to see as close to the source material as possible for those particular scenes to be adapted, and they botched and cutesy-rolled them. I can't say I'm not pissed. I expected as much because the probability of a rushed, watered-down job was high given the track record of BLs, but I still had hope for a satisfactory adaptation, and this is what we got. Yes, this is a full-blown complaint. Kudos to a job well done about everything else to do with this season, but I will bitch when anticipated scenes are not executed up to par.

Ok thank you!

Hi! so is it legitimately confirmed there is a special episode? or is it season 2? I'm assuming the special episode here but I'm just asking for concrete confirmation if anyone has it please 🙏🏽🥹

Please put a spoiler tag, for God sakes 🫩
