I think I am getting too old for this childish nonsense, because I was falling asleep few times per episode even…
This tbh. If you're older than 18 yo, this BL is not for you. Characters acting like children is not something new in BLs, but in this BL it's just too much...it's extremely uncomfortable. Duang is literally a 10-year-old in a young adult's body.
Honestly, I enjoy watching Korean dramas, but one thing I don't like is waiting a few weeks for the whole series.…
In one of those relationship charts that dramas usually put out before the release, Im A Sol and Seong Chan were both listed as "one-sided love" towards Tae Seon and Eun A, respectively. So i don't think there's going to be a love triangle.
I'm gonna defend Eun A because i don't think her decision was out of character or bad.
One thing that is constantly shown to the viewers is the ML and FL perspectives on the future. From the get-go, Eun A is shown as someone who likes to plan her future, while Tae Seo prefers to live one day at a time. This is something discussed many, many times.
At the point EunA gets an opportunity to work overseas and her relationship is in crumbles, she makes a decision: she prioritizes her future. And there are so many things contributing to this...from her father's stable mental health, to the perception of love she gets from her father's relationship, to her own life's perspective. Tae Seo and Eun A's relationship was doomed, it was just a matter of who was going to pull the trigger. And, to me, it makes total sense that it was Eun A. And more than that, it made total sense that, by the very end, Tae Seo was the only one giving his best for this relationship, because no matter how hard it was, he just needed to be there for her for the moment.
And one thing i find interesting is that, for the sake of his grandparents and brother, Tae Seo is forced into Eun A's life perspective by the end of episode 3 (therefore that monologue at the end of the episode).
There are many things to read between the lines in this drama tbh.
To those wondering what the vibes of these two episodes are (no spoilers): - The first episode is very contemplative. They meet each other on summer break, so they're alone at school, on their way home, etc. It's basically the two of them all the time; we barely see the supporting cast. It's a very quiet episode, but cute. - The second episode is very heartwarming and much more lively than the first one.
No longer 12 episodes, but only 10. I hope that at least this drama won't flop like most others lately 😅
This is bound to do poorly tho lol. The ratings for this JTBC time slot are usually around 1.5~2%. It could go somewhere on Netflix, but it's hard when there's no conversation from netizens to back it up. But let's hope for the best.
I love ForceBook so much, but this wasn't for me. The directing, the editing, the screenplay...everything about this was weak. This feels like a 2019-2020 GMM BL in the worst way.
There are SO many things happening off-camera, e.g. we just see Pleng, and then in the following scene, they said he's been missing for 2 days...like? Where's the build-up? We just literally saw him. And this happens all the time. The plot is interesting to a point. But that's it. And ForceBook did what they could with what was given to them.
Hopefully, GMM gives them better directors next time.

Their relationship development is very natural.
