I know this is fantasy and all but what a dark series despite the 'comedic' tone. I wouldn't say host are scum of the earth because they are just people who usually come from poverty and most likely abusive, chaotic upbringings. Taking advantage of the lonely people with self esteem issues that come to the club is how they survive. But the clients also take advantage of them, some of them are straight predatory, so it's a horrible cycle. However, romanticizing relationships between host and clients is not one of my preferred tropes. The dynamic between them is unhealthy and parasitic from both sides.
Also the FL needs serious therapy first, stalking is never funny for the victim, she basically terrorized her ex. I usually like flawed characters but this is one major red flag flaw I can't overlook because she doesn't seem to realize what she did was wrong, I hope she changes by the end of the series. At the same time, it's also horrible the abuse she gets from the people around her.
Also how are teachers responsible more than parents? Why would she need to get involved to protect the student from the host club before her parents? I just find it absurd and since I've seen it in so many J-dramas I wonder if this happens in real life, there's no smoke with no fire, no? Everything in this dramas is just unhinged.
Having said that, I'm still gonna watch it past this first episode because despite the crazy plot.
I'm really surprised about how much I'm enjoying this show. Was tempted to drop it after the first episode but since then it's been better and better. My face hurts from smiling so much from watching these two. They're my new OTP.
I’ve seen some of the chatter around Gawin as Tong in My Golden Blood—and it got me thinking. Not about right…
My only gripe with the series is the CGI. But we haven't had much more of that since episode one and I'm happy.
Tong's poutiness and bratiness makes sense to me because he's lived his entire life in an orphanage and was around younger kids. To protect him to not get any cuts he was also overly protected and sheltered. I don't know, he's kinda funny.
And I'm here for the JossGawin chemistry. I was really skeptical about Joss after the first episode the second one dispelled them completely. I'm looking forward each week to a new episode. At this point if people don't like it, I don't see how it helps them to complain on and on.
No. Stop with these death threats. How are you better than the people who bullied her and Sulli into committing suicide? He deserves to be permanently canceled in entertainment and even jail time. But being alive is not for you to decide.
What is this show? It's like the writers are trolling us to see how far we hold out. It's episode 8, for god's sake where's the confession, where's the kiss? If we're not getting event a remotely good story, at least give a few Parker kisses for crying out loud.
