It's real bad, but whatever. It's fun, not everything needs to be serious. Even though it's ridiculous, Boss and Noeul have chemistry. It'll take me a while to get used to Noeul's new nose tho.

It was a lighthearted comment, so I literally have no idea how you can make the jump to "defamation." I'm not a part of whatever drama was going on here.

Well I only saw the thumbnail on iqiyi by chance and started watching. Due to the chemistry the leads have, I just assumed there would be romance.

I can't tell if this is real or sarcasm. No, I have no idea what memo came out two years ago.

I didn't realize this is just a bromance. My disappointment is immeasurable.

I started this drama entirely because of IU. The plot sounded dumb, but from her previous works I trusted that it would be better than it sounded. I got about 4-5 episodes in and gave up. Neither of the leads are likeable or well written. The plot was somehow even less interesting than the synopsis. I guess people like it because of IU and because of the visuals. So I agree, crazy over hyped and disappointing.

Me at the end of episode five: genuinely crushed for both characters.
*upbeat cheerful music*
Excellent, the mood is ruined, thanks.
Seriously though, Kaji seems like he's deeply traumatized and is trying to shield himself from any emotional attachment. Just now, he realizes that he's made a terrible mistake, but he's been a pretty crap person and now has to make up for it.

In the first episode when Krit was introduced he was pretty good. He had more of a confident aura. Then it seemed like it dropped off, and he's just sort of... there. I'm watching his face and there's no expression. Not "mysterious" just blank. But again, it's early in the show. I'm not trying to be a complainer or anything, it's just my thoughts so far.
I like Poom's character, and I like the club dynamic. There's comedy but also serious topics.

At this point Poom is totally carrying the show for me. I don't think it's Up's fault as an actor at all, his character is just written so stiff and one-dimensional. Controlling family, fake girlfriend, etc. Yawn. Also, and again this isn't the actor's fault, but I hated Up's character in My Stand In soooo much. It's stupid but I still have leftover resentment over that show. I need his character here to start having more of a personality so that I can get over that feeling.
On the other hand, Poom is killing it imo. Wayu is likeable, has a good friend group, hobbies, takes care of his family. I hope he doesn't end up beaten down, with his spirit broken. Anyway, I'm taking this show for what it is, not too serious. I find the club scenes hysterical.

Then why didn't the other car's airbags go off? He wouldn't have gotten a cut like that if it had. Like I said, best not to analyze it.

Don't airbags exist in this reality?? None went off in either car, lol. Well, it's lighthearted fun, best not to analyze it too deeply.

I don't normally watch costume dramas or court intrigue stuff in general, but of course I had to watch a show that IU is in. First episode thoughts: It's incredibly pretty. The filming locations, the outfits, everything is lovely. We got a good introduction to the universe without it being too long. There's drama and humor. For me, the plot is the weakest part, but I knew that going in so I'm not complaining.
I hope the prince gives in quickly because we don't have that many episodes for IU to be chasing him. Also, I hope it's mutual and not IU trapping the prince with underhanded methods. I'm worried because we already know she's okay with winning using dirty tactics. But enough of that. Anyway, good start. I'm glad we get another episode tomorrow.

I made it very clear how I felt, I'm not sure how it's confusing. But sure, everyone is so GLAD that there's no NC scene. Because that's apparently not important. While the child abuse was.

Sharing clothes and going to class with each other is just normal dating stuff. And I don't agree, the child abuse part was not censored in the same way that the NC scene was. They not only showed the nanny shaking him and dragging him, they also showed the bruises and aftermath trauma. I'm not saying the NC scene needed to be graphic. I'm saying they ended the scene before there was emotional payoff. Right when the tension was building they said "cut" and suddenly it was the next morning and they're talking about getting ready for school.
But I can see that we won't agree here. I don't know why physical affection is a negative thing. When used tastefully, it's beautiful. And I really thought that this show was going to do it very well.

The show built up the tension only to fade to black, and then the next morning it's like nothing happened. I wasn't expecting anything graphic, don't make it seem like I'm a perv. But they didn't even talk about it afterward. It's like nothing happened at all, no emotional payoff.
I see people talking about the age of the actors playing Duang and Qin, but what about the little child actor who was abused? Why was that okay, but not a slightly longer NC scene between adults? Why are people more comfortable with violence than physical affection?

God Qin's parents suck. I wasn't prepared for such a serious topic in this fluff-fest. I know they're going to do some sort of cute and short redemption arc but that sort of trauma would take years to heal in real life. If they're going to include such a hard to watch scene, they should have at least had a more intense NC scene. I had to watch the nanny abuse Qin, but they literally did a fade-to-black when they slept together? Come on. Before everyone comes at me, I'm not saying it's bad just that if they're going to be bold and show something horrible, they should also show the opposite.

Anyway, I'm happy Duang is bringing Qin to his house soon. He should see what a loving family is like. And what's up with the second couple? There's not much going on there. It's a good show, but not a 10/10 for me.

No, I get it. Sometimes when he's being extra (with the dog noises) I'm not really into it.
I think what makes it okay for me is that Duang knows when to be serious. Not all BLs have any nuance, they'd make the character act silly no matter what. But this show knows when to have Duang tone it down, because he's silly, not stupid. For example, when he met Qin's parents, he didn't act like a fool. He didn't act goofy during the NC scenes.

Maybe I'm being critical, but the parents haven't changed at all since Qin was little, they're still running off to do whatever they want, without regard for Qin. Still, the line from the dad "be the colors in Qin's life." was incredibly sweet, and a highlight of the episode. I'm also looking forward to Qin meeting Duang's parents.
The NC scene was well done, though am I alone in wishing it was longer? We waited so long. LOL.
Anyway, I'm not into the second couple at all. But the rest is so good. I read in another comment that in any other show Duang would be super annoying, but in this he just works. And I agree, he's so likeable.

I wanted to like this, but the FL is too over the top. Filming everywhere, making strangers congratulate her, and she literally pushed a guy down the stairs. Yeah, he cheated on her, but that doesn't make it okay. She wanted to "scar" the other woman's face. Imagine if this was a guy pushing his cheating girlfriend down the stairs, would that be funny? I know it's just a show, but I think we need to reconsider what's acceptable humor. Yikes.

The grandpa is stone cold, blaming Pai for getting scammed. Anyway, I was actually happy with Pai's reaction though I think some people will disagree. I thought he'd just totally shut down and cut Tim off. But it also makes sense that he doesn't. He's more pragmatic, which is in character. He's mad but also curious about how Tim fooled him, what Tim is really like.
I don't think the last scene meant that he forgave Tim, just that he's not going to be in a constant rage. He's willing to listen. He was more angry over Yu scamming North because he's protective. So yeah, I liked how it was handled better than I expected.
