I love how all the cells interact with each other. It's so creative. The lust cell without pants is hilarious.
I am already dreading Sai Yi getting between Yumi and Woong. At least Woong is not oblivious to her motives. Forget Defense Mode, he needs to activate Offense Mode and tells her off in front of Yumi.
Yeah, I'd be fine if they were to stay friends as well. But I have a strong feeling that they will still end up…
I will give the writers the benefit of the doubt for now because Jun Wan and Ik Sun haven't talked at all after their breakup and they have been dragging Jun Wan's misery for so many episodes so their reunion was bound to happen to at least either have them get back together or truly move on after they talk it out.
For Ik Jun and Song Hwa though, one thing that (pleasantly) surprised me was that when she told him the news of her mother, the usual trope would have had her cry in his arms to show they are getting closer to each other but they avoided that. They didn't over dramatized the scene.
I'm in the minority but I don't mind Ik-Jun and Song Hwa staying friends. She is not in love with him and I hope they don't end up together. They have such a great friendship and should stay that way. The reason we don't see Song Hwa side is because there is nothing to show - she does not "love" him the same way he does. They have been friends for over 20+ year so I don't find it all surprising how well he knows her and do the things he does. Likewise, Song Hwa wouldn't be see his actions (like the gift) as some sort of love gesture because that's just what a friend does to cheer you up.
The novel does not have a happy ending. It could be open to different interpretations but it's definitely not…
I kind of hate the twist ending - Ye You Ning dies at the end in the accident instead of Xia Wen Xi and then they mention that Lin Jia Qi doesn't exist in this new universe. It's kind of confusing. Maybe the TV version will be more clear.
Not sure what is the point of brining Uju to camping? I thought there would be some bonding moments between the three of them. Uju is sad because of his girlfriend but there is no follow up? Ik-jun didn't even talk to him about it?
I don't remember S1 being this romance focused. Am I just misremembering since it has been so long since I watched…
Is it really more romance focused? There are more scenes of Winter Garden but then S1 has the arc of Jun Wan and Ik Sun getting together so it's about the same. Other than that there hasn't been anything romantic between Ik Jun and Song Hwa. And there is just little progress between Suk Hyung and Min Ha.
I actually think they focused a lot more on the patients as well as the relationship between the doctors. I really like the mentor-student relationship between Song Hwa and Sun Bin, which no one really talks about it seems. I love the guidance and the advice she gives her. I also enjoyed the friendship between Jun Wan and JeHak.
2/10. Wow, this was bad, the only good part was the last 10 minutes with Sib and Gene on the bed. Everything else before was a mess, so unnecessary and boring. Sib's plan makes little sense. So after seeing how angry Gene was when he was first lied to him about who he was, you're telling me he hatches up another lie? There wasn't even really an issue between them so the whole thing was kind of pointless.
Poor Aey! Sorry but it's ridiculous that they make it seem like he killed someone from the way everyone shut him out. He made mistakes but it wasn't that bad. He doesn't deserve to have no job, no friends, no love, it's so sad....and Tiffy is such a b*tch to stop Mork from going after Aey.
Conclusion: Watch only if you have nothing to do or if you want to waste 2 hours. This special adds nothing to the series.
This was a cute series. The middle part was the best leading to the climax where SibGene was exposed but I thought they didn't quite stick the landing. The last episode was anti-climatic. All the stakes mentioned in Episode 11 were resolved without much issue after 4 months once Sib's contracted ended. The press conference and the "break-up" seems kind of overblown and unnecessary. I was rolling my eyes at the press conference actually airing live on TV as if this was some kind of big scandal that the whole country needs to know LOL.
Still, the chemistry between Up and Kao is amazing and Up's acing really carried the whole series. I am surprised no one brought up the piano scene. That was the most touching scene in the last episode, especially when Gene tells Sib that he will loves him more and more, much more than he does. Sib was always the one that shows his love for Gene and finally Gene expressed the same back to Sib. Also I thought Gene was going to play the piano instead Sib because Up is an amazing piano player (https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1so4y1f7c4)
Everybody talk about Sib and Gene and here I'm want to say something about my little cinnamon roll baby Hin...In…
I like Hin as well. I wish his part was a little bigger. He was gone for most of the middle part of the series. I think he will have a happy ending. Gene gave his novel to Bua for a second look so maybe she will really take a look this time and think about publishing it.
Next episode looks overly dramatic and I'm ready for it lol. WTF is Aoey crying? Did Sib and him even did anything for the ship? It seems like they don't interact much outside of the series. Also is it really that big of a deal if Gene and Sib are dating? I mean even during the conference in Episode 8, there was already one group of fans supporting GeneSib. It isn't some huge secrets. It just give the series more publicity and more talking points.
Come on people, Gene and Sib are not related. It's probably that they knew each other when they were young and that Sib has always liked Gene (which explained why he was eager to get close to him since they met again at the audition). They will just throw in some explanation why Gene didn't recognize him and why Sib didn't tell Gene that he knew him when they met again (I bet it's some excuse like Gene would treat him like a friend/brother like when they were young if he knew right away).
The real drama is obviously going to be that the public is shipping GeneSib more than the fake AeySib and the agency will make Gene and Sib break up to promote the series. Then add in some misunderstanding/tears between them for a couple of episodes and eventually after the series is over, Gene and Sib will be together at the end.....unless Bad Engineer becomes a real hit and there is a cliffhanger at the very end that a sequel will be made LOL!
Not sure how I feel about this series so far. It's uneven and there are more "bad" things than "good" so far. I'm not sure what is the point of Gene mentioning all these BL tropes that he doesn't want to write but then the series itself has plenty of them. That's not how parody works if that's what the intent is. You can't just simply mention them, you need to poke fun of it. Instead, the series is just showing the standard tropes - Nubsib wiping Gene's mouth in public, cleaning the food off his lips in the car -- Is this the kind of "character development" that Gene mentioned? Nubsib being possessive already, which is an extremely annoying BL trope (Gene can't even give Aey money to buy food? not even as friends? He can only be generous to Nubsib? please, roll eyes....). Gene and Nubsib has good chemistry but their relationship isn't anything we haven't seen before.
Kao is super hot but my god his acting is so stiff. His line delivery is really flat and it's a little annoying to show him smiling every few seconds every time he is with Gene. We get it, he is smitten, does he have any other expression?
It's also weird that Gene is so clueless about these sex stuff. How did he write his first BL novel without including some research about these NC scene? If he didn't and it was successful, then why did he need to include them in new novel?
The most interesting story is actually Hin's novel. I will be super impressed if they go the route of having Hin's novel turns out to be better than Gene and they have some kind of rivalry. That would be very unique. I also look forward to see the other characters as well. Tum's being in the woman's dressing woman is kind interesting as other have mentioned. Aey is kind of mysterious as well.
So disappointing. I gave the show the benefit of the doubt in the beginning hoping it will develop into some meaningful drama but as everyone has said, the screenplay is just bad. The main problem is really how Fiat is written. He has no redeeming qualities and the show trying to make us sympathize with him when he gets called out by Leo and starts crying is laughable. He sleeps around and don't care about breaking a couple so why do we care when he is hurt? What does Leo sees in him? I also don't know why Fiat is into Type as well? He just treated him and Type has never shown any sign of being interested in him. Also how did Fiat gets into Type's apartment without a keycard? None of this make any sense. They should have written Fiat as a more mature character to go after Type, not some creepy teenager that you want to get a restraining order against.
Is it just me or after 7 years it still seems like Tharn is still begging for Type's love.
To me it's not begging, it's more like "holding on" to Type. He knows Type loves him but he is afraid of losing him. Remember he gets really sensitive when he hears the word "break up" and Type mentioning it again in the first episode (when talking to Thorn) triggered him again to ask Type to marry him. Then there is the fact that Type doesn't "share" their relationship to the world as much as Tharn wants make him to. It's really an insecurity/trust issue that Tharn needs to deal with.
I think the first two episodes are fine. I do admit it's not as smooth and captivating as the first one. However, it's really not fair to compare this to other "new" series. With a new series, you get to learn about the new couple, then there is the flirting, the chase, the first kiss, the conflicts that prevent them from being together, etc. With a sequel, the couple has already settled in, they already went through a lot so it's really hard to come up with "interesting" conflicts. They bring up the marriage issue and some work related issue which are realistic (but obviously not as interesting to many). People expect TT to be all smooth after 7 years together so what are they suppose to write about then? I mean, what would YOU come up with as conflicts between them?
Type is still hot headed but I don't agree that it's still the "same old" Type. He has matured a lot in my opinion. He wants to talk to Tharn about the issues between them. He is willing to listen. He faces issues at work but hold it in. Tharn's character is more insecure one this time around though so there ARE changes in both of them.
I won't really say whether this is good or not until at least half way through. It's still early given there are 13 chapters. We are still being introduced to the three new couples so it looks it will take some time before the different couples interact together.
