I gave this a try because I had nothing else to do. was planning to skip it because I've seen enough period pieces lately and I hate the social dynamics of this time period but as soon as I saw the dad I was invested I've seen him in two other wildly different roles. He is a fantastic actor

If the plots is not something you enjoy... skip it. I tend to enjoy these Cinderella-esk plots and this one was just meh for me.

I think it was kind of brilliant how we ended up mourning that loss with them.

That's the second time a Japanese show has wrecked me with that diagnosis... at least the other one warned me this one managed to blindsided me with it. Excellent framing and story telling.

I think it's past lives up until the intro credits then current affairs.

That grass was working overtime! Where is a breeze when you need it? 😅

The slower more philosophical ones are almost always rated lower then the exciting fluffy ones. not as many people enjoy them even when they are better put together then the rom-coms 🤷‍♀️

I am enjoying the show. I love the puppy pursuing cat dynamic. The past couple episodes though.... it's been more like we are watching someone trying to process their own past by writing a wish fulfillment story. Please do not copy Duang if someone trusts you with their childhood trauma.

Maybe it's a language difference or bad translation but I did not like the 'let go of your younger selfs hand and hold mine' bit. that struck me as an extremely bad way to handle past trauma. It would be better to say something more like 'let me help heal that wound' or 'I'll hold you anytime you need'... You do not dismiss a child's pain even if it has been years since the cause! 😡

'dad who is not a dad' Thit you have a dirty mind. lol Looking forward to when that shoe drops.

Tharntype was produced after love by chance but is timeline-wise a prequel. Neither contains spoilers for the other, so it doesn't really matter which you watch first. Tharntype was my first BL and it wasn't until well after I had seen both that I realized they had some of the same characters. There are a couple comments you will understand better in LBC if you watch tharntype first. Be prepared for a few red flags in main characters from any series written/produced by Mame (this world is one of hers). And yeah they are now producing more shows then I can keep up with. Welcome to the ships 😊 we are all a little crazy here.

Well, so long Duang it was nice knowing you... shame about that heart attack. lol Qinn really went straight from neutral to 5th gear and 90 mph.

Qin is desperately trying to serve calmness and he is managing to keep most of it under wraps but the mini smiles he turns to hide, the terror/anger in the bathroom scene is peaking through the cracks. He managed it in the first 2-3 episodes but his guard slipped in 4 and now he is holding on to denial and testing to see if he can trust Duang.

The series Tharntype will tell you more about some of the side couples. Type(Thyme) and Tar (Ta) are played by different actors, and it is set before this one. But I still haven't gotten clear information on whether Tum and Tar are actually blood brothers or not.

Absolutely. :)

I love how every scene is framed and tinted like a photo.... and the fountain 🤣😂🤣 must have been a paid actor.

Nope, no way, not putting that out into the universe. There will be a HEA.

The menace on that one line of ownership was excellently portrayed. The lighting the roll of thunder just 🤌 💋

Exactly... so many times I've felt like screaming 'Just ask the cats, they know!' and there are so many opportunities for the cats to tease Tiger about his obvious crush. Also these cats should be full blown characters so far they are 2d place holders. (I haven't read the source either)

I love how straightforward Minato is being. 'I like you romantically, if you want me as a best friend I will be the bestest friend. I'm here I missed you and I will latch on to any inch you are willing to give me.'
