so Mek the bad-guy?!? or am i wrong - cause now i think he is the sick son & the head of that commune/shrine is his father, the cop. am sure he hasn't been in the force for yrs, so he needed his son to infiltrate the force, so he/they could keep tabs on how much info the cops had & how to always be one step ahead, so they never get caught. as the father needed to act like a saint, so he would always have access to a new batch of victims, when it was time for the ritual. 4 more eps to go - but wonder if i have figured it out, time will tell.
but am really enjoying this & love the mains they such a cute couple! btw idk why the next ep is in almost 14 days 🤷♀️😫
given some of the comments i read, had to say that i enjoyed the mains chemistry & i loved how they made each bloomed, when around each other, yeah it was more noticeable with Jung Woo who started to smile when he was around Tae Young, he started to come to life & that was such a major change from the start (before Tae Young came into his life). but even Tae Young who was always smiling - was happier & almost walking on air, just being around Jung Woo. they conveyed perfectly how being in-love makes u bloom & it warmed my heart watching them together. & loved how the whole intimae scene was dealt with, there was a lot of tenderness in that scene & i think it kinda fits Jung Woo's personality. Tae Young seems like he would be more wild & adventurous type, but cause it was their 1st time together, the mellowness & consideration conveyed in that scene was fitting the character's & their 1st time, same with their kisses.
not every BL couple gotta be hot & heavy, a tender heart felt kiss & coupling is a more mature approach to convey love IMO & this worked perfectly for this couple! they had good chemistry 💖
wish i could say i loved this - this started off strong, but fell flat. given Minato's personality & hang-up's i guess unless he did a 180 by the end, showing some growth i wouldn't really be that happy.... & he didn't change - if anything in this ep he told Shizuma that he "fell" for him cause of how he talked about his ex gf (that cheated on him). to anyone it would sound like he "fell" cause Shizuma was so unlike his mother, to me it came off as Shizuma is someone who could be easy to "handle".
at the end when Minato says "...if u cheat i will kill & eat u..." i believe that. while Shizuma's threat had no teeth, as he has already proved he will grovel, plead & apologize - trying to understand & forgive Minato whether it's justified or not, even before he tried to open his mouth, he is forgiven. so i aint happy with this end, as to me Minato lucked out, but Shizuma has gotten the raw end of the deal. the bummer is that this has been the case with quite a few J-BL's recently, they start off great but slowly they like a balloon, slowly getting deflated & a "sex" scene & a few tepid kisses can't revive this corpse. 🤷♀️🤦♀️
genuinely don't get why others didn't like this, it wasn't a "mess" - yes it was short & it felt a bit rushed, cause a lot needed to be covered - but each issue was dealt with & i think by the end everything was resolved in a healthy way. the acting was great & the mains had chemistry. maybe it wasn't perfect, but i have seen a lot of BL's that others r hyped about & idk what they r talking about, cause there it feels like it's more about the actors not the character's or the erotic scenes or lustful kisses. that's doesn't a good drama make IMO.
this was good & i enjoyed it from start to finish - for sure a rewatch.
Fan Xiao's monolog at the start was a pity party for one, everything was me me me.... so i rejoiced when Shu Lang didn't soften. why should he?!? so what if Fan Xiao had trust issues, how is Shu Lang or anyone good to blame? what, cause a person is good that means they lead an easy life?!? there r people that smile & laugh & r in the world of pain. as i always say, just cause ur hurt Doesn't justify u hurting others!!! Fan Xiao is a selfish ass hat, in the previous ep i felt sad for him, but now i don't - cause the sec Shu Lang started speaking he shut him out, cause he only wants to hear, what he wants to hear & as long as Shu Lang's not accepting his "apology" & ready to start over, he has no interest in really listening to what he has to say. this NOT boding well - idk how this "love" story's gonna get back on track, for me to root for it or Fan Xiao, as of now - he unworthy of Shu Lang period.
side note: anyone adopting a child & then tossing them aside like so much garbage, cause they finally got pregnant, deserve to be thrown into prison (both "mother" & "father") heck a hefty fine would also be grand - anything & everything that would serve as a warning, for others not to act like heartless degenerates. who f*ckin does that to a child?!????? disgusting!
the sec we met the sick head of the house, Ai Soon - i had a feeling he was the one behind the deaths/murderers, before him i suspected Ta Khuean. so didn't need to see him in the interrogation room, to know he isn't the serial killer. cause if the murders aren't about the killing, but about the ability to prolong life, then the one in need is the sick guy - no?!? but the preview confused me, what cop? or is the cop the same one that went mad 15 yrs ago & went missing?!? & is he Ai Soon?!? time will tell.
btw if i was Darin, i would search out Thup & stick close to him, as is the guys on Singha's teams think he is like a good luck charm that wards of ghosts. that true or not, does it matter when u got a target on ur back?!?
& laughed out loud when King finally saw "smile" pity it didn't amount to anything - & no i ironically don't want him dead. even though i don't trust him & i am still annoyed by how shady he is. but that doesn't mean i want him to become the next victim.
well this was an easy binge watch, as this was less then an hr & even though i agree with everyone saying this was bad, i didn't mind it..... yes, the acting was bad - the plot wasn't developed, the audio was weird & even the cinematography was shaky at parts. oh lets not forget, the weird edits - basically this was a train wreck, but oddly entertaining. like driving past an car crash, wanting to look away, but being morbidly fascinated & looking anyway 😂
i think the concept was 50 shades of gray, but a chaste/toned-down version, which was executed badly. the acting kinda made me laugh, Hae Jun looked so freakin uncomfortable being manhandled, & the kisses were like Jae Hun was trying to eat him lo... watching them was cringe & funny.
u don't need sex or nudity to sell the product, if it was a version of 50 shades - heck this wasn't even BDSM light - this was a farce, a weak imitation of what BDSM is. so either do some research & do it right, or change the plot to something u have a clue about. watching the guys flounder around especially Hae Jun, made the whole viewing into a comedy - a bad one at that. it felt like he was literally forced into something he didn't want to do, even when he's supposedly fallen in-love with Jae Hun 🤷♀️ oh well this was a one off - hope the actors find a better project the next time around this was a disaster.
like u, i didn't get the open ending which to me (considering Sugiki past behavior & personality) seemed more…
agree, this was a let down - now if Sugiki had offered more then a reminder of the 10 dance. he didn't smile when he walked away, like Suzuki did. basically nothing to indicate he changed his mind & now didn't see Suzuki as his enemy. so yeah this wasn't a well throughout out ending IMO too
like u, i didn't get the open ending which to me (considering Sugiki past behavior & personality) seemed more like a new way to get Suzuki to come to the competition. then any kind of start to a relationship. the fact Suzuki smiles, again means nothing cause IMO he was more infatuated... while Sugiki even if he was attracted, was hell bent on not falling in love with anyone. so u r right to be confused by the end, as nothing is clear & anyone saying otherwise is using more wishful thinking, then reading right what they saw - that's my two cents 😅🖐
this ep went more or less as i thought it would, Minato is great at throwing himself a pity party (& i am at a stage where i don't give a damn it's cause of his traumatic past - everyone got sh*t they need to deal with, that doesn't justify using innocents as mental punching bags to deal with said trauma!), while Shizuma (as per usual) bent over backwards trying to understand an accommodate him.
even Minato's "confession" felt like he was doing Shizuma a favor, cause of all he said - i.e promised. is that a confession? is this love??? - idk, but i aint a happy camper - Minato isn't worthy of all the work Shizuma is putting into him or this "relationship", if anything Minato keeps taking him for granted. & i get that Minato (who has always been the younger individual in the equation) is used to being taken care of, by everyone around him - they baby him. but isn't it time he grew the f*ck up?? he said' "...he also worries he would hurt the person he loves..." WTF would u call what he has been doing to Shizuma, since they met??? actions speak louder then words, so wish he started acting like he cared (& no, f*cking at the end, doesn't make up for how he has treated Shizuma until now & sadly will keep treating him & it for sure doesn't mean he cares as we know from the start of this, he has no problem bed hopping)... idk - what to say, this toxic & Minato not worthy! oh well 🤷♀️🤦♀️
just finished binge watching & kinda hard for me to rate this, as the translation's (i found) was very bad, so got the broad idea of who was against whom & what was going on, but a lot also went over my head or so i assume. but the reason i watched was cause i recognized Yan Zi Xian (Jiang Hu) from The Spirealm, he was hot there, not that he not good looking here. but there he the hottest guy in that drama & that's saying something, cause the mains there r quite good looking - but when his character was introduced, i was like "wow". here he's cool but.... idk what was getting at lol. maybe that i prefer him in the modern day look 😅🖐 anyway it was fun while it lasted & it's a pity one of them had to die & the other was left all alone (even though he promised the little girl he would go back) still, the last scene was kinda desolate & depressing. but on a whole this was a entertaining watch - not a boring moment. 👍
until now i called Fan Xiao a sociopath - dude is a psychopath. poor Shu Lang, he can't catch a break, cause he got a crazy nutter stalking him at every turn, he's there waiting, watching, calculating & scheming - little wonder Shu Lang broke in this ep. as is he hasn't had an easy life, yet he kept moving forward cause he couldn't let himself "fall" as there wouldn't be anyone that would help him up. but now no matter how much he tires, Fan Xiao is like a rabid dog with a bone, he has no scruples & will use anyone & anything to get Shu Lang back.
slowly Shu Lang realized that he had to put himself 1st & stop thinking about his professor or brother - not that it would stop Fan Xiao, as anyone that came in contact with Shu Lang would suffer & Shu Lang would get a play by play detail of how they r suffering, knowing he was the cause. little wonder he broke at the end - if i was him i would try & push Fan Xiao over the bridge lol... heck i already wanted him to tell his brother to f*ck off & jump already. Fan Xiao for sure earned some violence - if anything the way he is behaving i was right when i said that Shu Lang went too easy on him in the previous ep, he should've broken a bone or two.
the way things were unfolding i wouldn't be surprised if Shu Lang chose to contact the 2nd brother & use him to bring Fan Xiao down... aish my poor Shu Lang - Fan Xiao has isolated him in such a way he has no way to get away - he i utterly helpless. & Fan Xiao delusional if this thinks Shu Lang saying he will come back, means everything will go back to how it was. Shu Lang aint a pushover & Fan Xiao in for a rude awakening. now we wait 5 plus days 😫
Hioki looked so cute neck up - neck down who the frack put him in that sack & why?!? & i don't need him in a slutty waitress outfit, but it was so long & shapeless - they couldn't just put him in the outfit, the other girls were wearing??? 🤷♀️🤦♀️
poor Shu Lang, everyone f*cks him over 😥 he thought he was finally turning a new leaf & getting away from Fan Xiao, but Fan Xiao got his clutches in him - he not letting go anytime soon. heck the crazy f*cker would've been happy to go to hell, if he knew that Shu Lang would be there waiting for him. idk what type of toxic that is... but it's a nuclear level. think the equivalent of Shu Lang rear ending Fan Xiao is of someone breaking a mirror - guess he in for 7 yrs of bad luck... lol 🤦♀️ poor Shu Lang. been saying for a while now, that he's such a green flag, how he came to Zhen's aid, when he really didn't have too & ironically he is like that with everyone, yet in this ep he kept being blindsided by everything Fan Xiao did to him. now he knows from the sec he met Fan Xiao, he got played by him (the only thing he has yet to find out is that Fan Xiao is the cause of the 2nd accident on the same day).
the fact he didn't agree to the 2nd brother's deal is a logical move, cause he knows he isn't trust worthy & it might as well be getting in bed with the devil, he had enough with one demon = Fan Xiao. he didn't need to get involved with that family & he's smart enough to know this fact.
that's why his professor's double cross is that much more devastating, cause he trusted him. but sadly Shu Lang no matter how good he is, always encounters people that take advantage of his kind heart. my heart aches for Shu Lang (btw that beatdown wasn't enough IMO a broken hand or leg wouldn't kill Fan Xiao 😂✌).
ah really? i was sure we saw her in the window when the old lady gave Thup to the monk. so his mother passed away in that time?? might have to watch the 1st ep to see if they look the same cause of how her eyes & mouth r stitched with the red thread, was sure she just one of the 1st victims
so King is getting a redemption arch?!? he not the bad guy we thought he was, it was his father all along hmmm 🤨 i don't buy it cause he always had a choice & he chose to follow his father, then & now. also it's not like his following his fathers orders kept Singha safe, the fact he still in the force isn't much, when there is a stain on his record & he got demoted, that will follow him forever, might even prevent him from getting promoted.
btw i don't get what is the point of the ghost chick (that's following Thup since he was a baby) coming to warn him, not once did he mention this to Singha, like WTF - if he got the memory of a gold fish what is the point of even adding that scene in this ep... it was frustrating 🤷♀️🤦♀️
