Gu Hai and Fan-Xiao are NOTHING compared to Lu-Feng's black flag...

i LOVED A Round Trip to Love and to see it remade with a longer and more detailed version is making me so happy. From the trailer alone, looks like we're getting even more toxicity and hatred in the remake. I CAN'T WAIT. ONE MORE DAY TO GO.

- so, i got pulled into this lakorn because of my man Film, but STAYED for the plot. something definitely happened to Phoem when he was away (my guess is that he had an accident and became impotent/barren) and he's trying to make up for it to Shen by the lavish expenses and special treatment - HOWEVER, i can see his rage boiling down the surface and from the looks of it (ep 3 preview with him slapping Shen) he's a ticking time bomb that might explode at any moment.

- Phoem's reaction to his brother's wife's pregnancy is both nonchalant and alarming; and the way he was trying to fish out information from the doctor about his obvious accident is extremely suspicious.

- Shen, i'm starting to love the fact that she's standing up for herself against her hag of a mother-in-law; and it absolutely helps that Phoem is giving her the Mistress of the House treatment (at least in front of everyone and ESPECIALLY his mother). Now, regarding her character - i believe that Shen is in lust with Phoem, OR she's madly in love with him but in lust with Tone - her feelings are obviously confused, especially with Phoem's sudden aloofness after showing her what love/lust can be - and seeing Tone and the way he "cares" for her needs, even if it's by command from Phoem is bound to make her stray, especially since she's been deprived from any form of love or affection from her father (the bastard even forbade her from reading romance novels)

- As for Tone, i don't know if he has a hidden agenda of his own (maybe a revenge plot against Phoem's family, him being in love with Phoem, or really falling in love with Shen). I'm also having the theory that Phoem is pushing Shen and Tone together for one of 2 reasons (A): Phoem wants to see if Shen will have an affair or not (B) him wanting the affair to happen because he can't give Shen children/can't have a child of his own and he wants an heir (even if illegitimate)

- Another theory i have is that it's all a ploy by Phoem; the marriage, romance with Shen, sudden aloofness after his return, making Tone Shen's personal driver/bodyguard ... something is definitely rotten in Phoem's household.

- Also, what the HELL is going on with Phoem's father? like I AM CONFUSION!!!

can't wait for the next episodes...

this looks like a serious issue given to us in a comedic form ... can't wait to see my man Ji-hoon in a comedy-esque style drama (after all the angst he's been giving us lately; not that i'm complaining) i've been waiting for a comedic role from him ever since Love Revolution ended.

sexual lessons had more substance than this

i also love me some NC scenes don't get me wrong, but the way the episodes were delivered, it was like being on the gay side of the hub ... a little bit of plot would've been good, but no, they just gave us nothing but p0rn 🤔

the ultimate case of Stockholm Syndrome

he really said "there's no escaping me"

LIKE LET MY MAN BREATH

Finished this mini-series and the whole time I was waiting for a plot to hit (to pun intended), but nothing; not even a tiny bit of story as to why he asked for "therapy", how did he find out about the "therapist", and whether he was always interested in men or he was just going with the flow and ended up liking it.

As for the "therapist", why the FCK was he so robotic the whole first 3 episodes? he actually scared me and I was waiting for the reveal of him being a s3x robot, but no, that's just him or his professionalism (which was way too much detachment for me).

THEN he actually showed emotion and reactions in episode 4 and i was waiting for it to end up as them being a couple role playing, or one of them already liking the other and took advantage of the "therapy" sessions to get close, BUT NO ... NOTHING ... homeboy went back to being a robot after the deed was done, only to leave a piece of paper for the lead, the lead running after him and then IT ENDS?

This series was nothing but a soft-core gay corn which should only be on the hub ... and don't get me started on the positions - cause not even gymnasts or contortionists would be able to do all that ... kudos to both leads i guess. 2/5 for aesthetics.

i don't know who to trust or to believe anymore - all i know is that poor Veir is being played like a pawn in this deadly game of chess #SaveVeir

p.s: once again Peat knocked it out the park with his acting; playing the psychotic villain character really suits him

it's a form of absolute control ... and Veir experiencing Stockholm Syndrome with Kelvin

apparently in the novel the kidnapping of Veir was staged by Kelvin and there was gang grape and not beating so that's probably why they changed character "positions"

- and here i thought Ming and FanXiao were toxic and psychotic, but nooooo. Kelvin is on Vegas' level of fcked up. kidnapping his ex, putting him in chains, graping him, staging his kidnapping (when they were still together) and gang beating (apparently in the book he got him to be gang-graped.) so they changed it in the series - not to mention becoming a killer (allegedly). i'm not sure if i want them to have a HEA.

- love the series and Peat is KILLING it in this role - i am so used to him being the soft traumatized cinnamon roll that i'm surprised and happy with him being the cause of the trauma for once 🤭 can't wait for the new episodes.

FINALLY, our romance queen is getting a dark role ala Dear X Ah-Jin, with Wi Ha-Joon as a ML? GIVE ME IT, NOW

especially since from the flashbacks she seemed to be an absolute "Daddy's Girl" and to have him think of her that way must have destroyed her heart ☹

being accused of something you didn't do and having everyone look at you as a homewrecker must be the worst feeling - adding to it your mother telling you to ignore it so as to not ruin her reputation & career while the father actually believing it must be a nightmare.

am i the only one who only cares about Bom's parents fixing their relationship with her (what her father said to her was a major low blow tho) and her finally proving her innocence? the only storyline i care about is her past unjust treatment and when she'll finally sue that bastard father and his wife for labeling her a homewrecker and ruining her life.

he's a cutie patootie here and such a sweet green flag

OH MY GOD, we're getting 2 hilarious villains falling in love? with queen Im Ji-Yeon as the FML & Heo Nam Jun as the ML? HELL YEAH.
