So at the end of Ep 18, which is the end of their 4th year? She’s 26 and he’s 32, right?I found the timing…
I don’t remember this convo happening in the novel so this scene feels left field to me. It’s only logical that a convo like that would be the end of the relationship right? Makes no sense why screenwriter and director added this scene.
As for another 1.5 years duration of their relationship in novel, SZT took on a 14-month work management project in another town (half of their relationship was of them doing LDR)
I’m new to cdramas and t his is the 1st modern that’s steamy, still tame compared to short verticals. Try…
Agreed! If you haven’t, you must add Touch Me Like You Lied (2026) 非正式浪漫 to your PTW list. Apparently it’s going to be an even steamier ride than TES. I may even read that novel but scared the a/c won’t be strong enough to cool me down 🫠🤣
The way LN willingly steps into his jealousy quicksand and sinks deeper and deeper is his own doing! You deserved a few more kickings from your Cousin and I’m not pulling you out of this! Grow the F up, you sensuous prick! 😭
Bwahaha! They way SZT woke up at the top of the morning, startled by the vision of her ex and current! 🤣
What annoyed me is that she asked her guy roommate for help and she told him Thank You Fpr Always Helping Me When…
Exactly! She’s able to rely on her guy roommate when placing herself in harm’s way but not give the same chance to LN. Which makes his jealousy of that guy even more valid. They’re both immature in this relationship and have a lot of room for growth, unfortunately it’s going to hurt good and I’m prepared for the angst!
So this drama has made me give cdramas a real chance and I have been looking for other cdramas to watch and I…
I’m new to cdramas and t his is the 1st modern that’s steamy, still tame compared to short verticals. Try “When Fish Swim To Land” for short https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=O1KV6BRh6eo&ra=m or “Prisoner of Beauty” for long historical. As you can tell, I have a weakness for masculine MLs. Kinda been fatigued with the pretty boys 😮💨
I tried to quell the downbad addiction by watching some clips of JBR’s past works but even though he’s jealous and possessive in Sunsets Secrets Regrets, THAT CHARACTER IS NOT THE SAME AS LN AND HIS LOVE FOR SZT
There were likely scenes cut too for pacing. Any insights you want to share about the nuances from the novel?
Dony made several attempts to advance with SZT. Since she felt threatened the 1st time, she and Lumi devised a plan to start recording their meetings to protect herself. Since she’s so meek, she endured multiple advances and the few was immense, causing her to tremble throughout the flight distance. Prior to that, she never knew full details of other victims.
In this show, her character puts herself in harm’s way to help Kitty (who was an enemy in the novel) and other victims. It’s nice that she supported those women but completely out of character for the novel SZt
I think her reason for not telling him was thin... I believe he was in the right to feel left out and disregarded…
In the novel she had a good enough reason not to rely on him but LN is less of a jerk on the screen so their mishap doesn’t transfer very well in this adaptation
Epi17’s scenes weren’t as epically nuanced as depicted in the novel. I guess translating it to screen isn’t as easy to transfer for the sake of time but why did I feel like there was too much slo-mo and “filler” or cuts to SZT’s harassment? Sigh! 😮💨
Just saw this trailer on YT, by accident while waiting for TES 1-episode-per-day, and discovered there’s no definitive airing date for this show? Trailer was released on YT about 8 months ago though?
Really?! I’m not familiar with T-dramas. If you have good romance reccs, please send. I’ve been watching TES 1-episode per day and it’s not enough steaminess 🤣
