Agreed. The show is doing a great job at the portrayal. I know people usually expect NC scenes as penetrative…
Yeah, it is NC scene but not romantic for us watchers. And yeah territorial is the correct term rather than control. Actually I have not read anything regarding enigma, only have ABO desire and PitBabe for reference. Let me know if you have any recs.
I have a feeling 95% of people watching this have no idea about omegaverse, or if they do it's from ABO desire. When I first saw ABO desire, I felt the concepts were mellowed down, which was okay as the pairing was betwen an alpha and enigma. But here, the pairing is alpha-omega. So, concepts like bonding, pheromone are important. I also have limited knowledge, and not all writers include all concepts. But for a beginner's guide to omegaverse: in normal humans, there is a secendary gender which manifests during your puberty regardless of male or female. Alpha, beta and omega. There can be female alpha and male omega. Male omega can get pregnant. Beta is normal human, they don't produce or smell pheromone. Alpha are considered superior to normal human. They have pheromone, and have the ability to control both alpha and omega based on their power. I am not sure if they have any control over betas, as they can't smell pheromone. Others please fill in. As for omega, they are considered the lowest and weakest in society. They also produce pheromone, but their is like flower. It's to attract alpha. If they are in rut, they can't control it. Also, if alpha are in rut they can't control themselves if any omega is nearby. So, it's mandatory to take suppressents and keep track of rut cycle for both alpha and omega. There is other things called dominent and recessive in both alpha and omega. There is less risk of pregnancy for recessive omega. In this one, pure omega was introduced. Pure omega can give birth to enigma, who can turn an alpha to an omega (as we saw in ABO desire).
Here, the NC scene was kinda wild, because it wasn't actually a NC scene. It showed that they both have no control over their body when pheromones were involved. They were like wild animal, who are forced to mate with their partner. As they are bonded now, they can't be separated and must stay together for now. I think they protrayed that part quite well.
Let me know if I missed some details. I also have limited knowledge, and am always eager to learn more.
The amount of time I choked up watching episode 5 shocked me. The way each and every character are so flawed, this is such a brilliant story writing. This episode answered all of our questions about why they kept dong-man around, and him finally breaking free from this toxic friend circle. Geong-Se and that one with suit would be the only ones to stay friends with him. Geong-Se used him, and has always felt guilty. Others didn’t feel anything badmouthing him. Eun-a's ex is a piece of shit, he will get his punishment.
North-U carried the series. U had the best redemption ark. Without them Tim-Pai wouldn't survive. A rare case where side couple outshined the main one.
Qin's love language is physical touch and word of affirmation. Duang loves to spoil the person he loves. That's why they both suit each other so much. Any other combination wouldn’t work.
How do I explain all the intense emotions this series makes me feel after each episode is over to all the people…
I can say on behalf of them. I dnf'ed it after the 1st episode. But during ep 5 I saw the comments and decided to gave it another chance and here we are 🤭
Yu-North is salvageable, Tim-Pai isn’t. He saw how Pai reacted to Yu-North marriage , and he even accepts that he is in love with him. Then he should have come clean like Yu. Pai isn’t soft like North, he would take time but maybe would forgive Tim in the long run. But now it’s over. If the writer+ director show a happy ending of this couple, I would say bullshit. I feel Tim would save Pai / anyone important to Pai. Also, Kuea is sus. He may try to harm Pai, Tim would save the day. But, I don’t want this couple together.
The only BL which can pull-off this trope are I Will Knock You, Secret Crush on You and this one. I was skeptical about this, but last 2 episodes won me over. Also reminded me of My Beautiful Man, one of the OG of this trope.
"I don’t think I'm in the minority when I say I don’t want the main leads together."------I have said…
Yes. And I have a feeling the 2nd ML is shady. How does he know everything about the FL and woo-joo? He said he heard from her friend, but she didn’t even know ML had moved out. How would she know about the play in the daycare? I feel in preview we saw woo-ju get lost, the 2ML took him.
I don’t think I'm in the minority when I say I don’t want the main leads together. The FL suits better with her first love. She and ML should co-parent Woo-Joo. Because she didn’t miss him, she missed what he did for her. And during the interview part, she was openly flirting with both the leads. I feel like the writers are purposefully trying to show that the one who works outside and who works from home/ stay at home parents are different regardless of their gender. We are bashing the FL, but in real life this is what happens. This is how affairs start (though FL ML weren’t dating yet).
This show misled us. This is a story of Hynjin and her first love getting together. Taehyung is here only as a side character. Even woo ju is a side character.
10/ 10 This is how you keep a story simple but engaging. I loved it specially cause they didn't know eachother from before. They actually fell in love before our eyes. 4 episode satisfied us more than most 12 episode dramas. Really waiting for full series of SurfJava. Love them !!!
