Mae's attitude is actually really annoying to me. Ai caught her spying, and even though she was rightly pissed…
Wait, are we giving Ai a free pass for drugging Mae so she could try to break into her computer? And then sneaking a peek at Superior's financials while they were supposed to be focusing on sexy time at the resort?
Yes, the series was wonderful. Lookme and Sonya are so good together and the production (scenes, costumes, lighting) was gorgeous...
But forking Hades, what is it with Thai GL in general and Tisha in particular giving psychotic men free passes for heinous behavior!? 'Oh, poor me, I abused, berated, and threatened you for your own good because it''s hard being a single dad?' I hope the actor cringed as much delivering that shite stuffed soliloquy of half-assed excuses as I did hearing it.
Jebus, Tisha, this is TWICE now you've thrown your women characters under the bus - we haven't forgotten gun boy getting a hero's redemption in Affair. Is the network holding a gun to your head making you do this? Do you need help? Can you flash the rescue signal? Because if not, seriously, consider getting into therapy and figuring out why you would write a selfish, self-centered, manipulative, controlling, violent man a five minute makeover into a paragon of misunderstood virtue and then have his abuse target apologize to HIM!
Look, I'm sure you have rent to pay and groceries to buy, but surely there are production companies where you don't have to be a pick-me shill for a rabidly sexist patriarchal system. Maybe find one where you can keep your dignity and not actively undercut other women.
So, just a thought, but instead of kicking and banging on reinforced wooden doors, how about just crawling through one of those fragile paper windows? Just asking.
There is so, so much lazy writing: sprinkling in of unexplained miracles and spontaneous cures and a heavy reliance on otherwise functional characters being suddenly struck stupid. It honestly wouldn't have taken much to write around the gaps, but I guess the scriptwriter simply couldn't be arsed.
watched 2 eps (or I didn't) I just couldn't stop skipping which made me miss some important things, gotta drop…
I'm on E3 now and it's a LOT of work. Trying to stick it out for the pleasure of watching Park Eun Bin, but I don't know... directing is cheesy and script takes frequent detours into nonsense "Why the heck would he/she do *that*?" territory.
Haven't watched yet, I plan to, but the criticism of an actress not being suited? If they weren't a good actress,…
Yes, exactly this. I suspect a Venn diagram of people who judged her as mid because she was mostly in romance projects and people pissed she's proving them wrong in another genre is a perfect circle.
Props to PMY for looking at the sexist age double standard for women and broadening her range with the public. Wise move.
Park Min Young seems to have a good physique in this drama. I mean she reduced her weight for marry my husband…
PMY was ripped in Love in Contract (2022). There were several scenes showing her character's workout routine that made my muscles whimper just from watching.
Reed thin doesn't always mean unhealthy. My 110lb/40.9kg daughter has the same physique as PMY, can squat lift more than 2x her body weight, and eats like a (very health conscious) horse .
Worrying about her health is legitimate, given the unhealthy effects of body shaming aimed at women world wide, but different women, different metabolisms.
Mr Queen is a near flawless 18 episode series. Unfortunately, it has 20 episodes. It got to the end of E18 before deploying stupidity as a plot device. At that point, the story wandered around, characters forgot who they were, backstories were ignored, and a bold, badass F(?)L became a helpless, witless, whimpering dingbat for 45 maddening minutes on into E19, where the martial arts trained, former special services soldier did everything but wilt from the vapors. The implosion continued into E20, with scenes defying credulity, common sense, medical reality, and several laws of physics.
I mind that sort of thing, other may not. Anyhoo, it was a satisfying enough ending.
I do have one lingering disappointment: the series ended before the Queen could go through labor and delivery as a man - because payback, baby! On the plus side, there was a delightful gay coded main character who did the limbo under the censorship bar and nearly everyone's radar.
If either of the lead characters are idiots, I'm going to drop a series. In this case, both were idiots, so it was a quick and easy decision to move on. A waste of a very talented cast.
I know only a little about Thai culture, so I don't understand why a grown woman at least 24 years old, with her own income, isn't saying "See ya later, pops, I love you, but I'm off to live my own life."
And, yes, yes I am frustrated with a script that seems like it might have been a Writing 101 assignment scribbled on the back of a damp napkin three drinks into a happy hour dare.

Him: Your sister wants you to visit her.
Her: I don't plan on it.
Yes!
UPDATE: E4 was relentlessly stupid, so I'm done.
