I have very poor memory. I dont remember they helped the kid and his mom when they were together or did they completely skip that part. Also, i dont remember XF's cousin(?) appeared before ep14...what made YSL to meet that guy in the hotel after he saw someone riding a bike? I mean how does YSL exactly know where to go? That part puzzles me.

I don’t know, but it feels like the screenwriter of this series is trying to build ghost ships. That scene where he attacked Feng Zhou and tried to escape, then bit his arm and Feng Zhou just let him do it to calm him down while soft music played in the background. The way he turned his back, the slow-mo shot, the crying... it was so bromance-coded. Even stronger than Lotus Casebook...And it's not just one scene...and the girls too.

1. you don't really have explanation to my question. 2.That's a bunch of gibberish AI cooked up. don't chatgpt your replies. Use your own ability.

"It's fantasy" isn't an explanation, it's a surrender of critical thought. Let me know if you have a real one. Seems like the writer of the show obviously lacks "critical thinking".

can someone explain how does someone enter someone's memory and physically time travel back to the past while physically laying in the bed at present time at the same time???

The first case (bank robbery) was just for introductory case so that the viewers understand how the time-loops work. All the remainings are tied to Moma.

I don’t think he’s trans (though I could be wrong), but the Thai word he uses, กะเทย (kathoey), can refer both to transgender women and to very effeminate gay men (often translated as “ladyboy”).

I agree with you. He or she shouldn’t have signed something they weren’t satisfied with in the first place. Sabotaging or boycotting the show just because they didn’t get what they wanted comes across as childish. One of earlier reasons being no politics in the adaptation (how would they know the show isnt even out yet)...and we're at ep6, and I'd say it has enough politic to keep me engaged and I'm glad bcoz too much politics will put me to sleep. People keep blaming Change2561 for altering the novel, claiming they gonna “ruin” the beloved novel like they did to Pit Babe, but the production team has every right to make changes they see fit. I’m glad the show is finally getting the recognition it deserves.

I didn't know they AI face swapped Li Su character post production. (They swapped Marcus Li with Li Qing's face).

I'm so glad that he's finally been booked as the main lead he deserves after playing second lead for so long. Blossom was one of my favorites. The visuals look great here. Another second lead I’d love to see in a leading role is Riley Wang. He has everything it takes to be a main lead. And Liu Jun, just because he's so handsome to look at 🥲

Exactly! I wasn't in awe like what others are swooning over. The same thing happened with previous Thai BLs like Jack and Joker, The Next Prince, My Golden Blood, Boy Next World... and the list goes on. lol

She’s perfect for this role. For once, we get a normal girl in a C-drama:silly, goofy, and relatable. Some people were disappointed because they were expecting the usual hyper-idealized female leads....the “genius” who can do everything: outsmart anyone, fight like a pro, and learn advanced calculus in five minutes, all while being pursued by a pack of brilliant, handsome guys.

I can understand why some viewers might struggle with this drama at first. I almost dropped it myself after the opening episode. Coming straight from The Prisoner of Beauty, I needed a moment to recalibrate and get used to the idea of transmigrating into a scripted fictional world where FL is playing a scripted character. (But I stayed because I really enjoyed "Extraordinary You" and the synopsis sorta reminds me of that)

I am glad I stayed with it, because what followed was an unexpectedly rewarding experience. The writing stood out as carefully constructed, with intrigue layered throughout and clever use of chaos and misunderstanding, particularly around the masked hero, Li Shi Liu. That storyline alone kept me invested, showing how well the narrative was planned from the very beginning.

It would not be fair to compare this drama directly with TPOB. Although the two may appear to belong to the same genre, they operate on very different aesthetics and tones. Where TPOB has a certain grandeur, this series succeeds through sharp storytelling, playful twists, and its distinctive thematic approach.

I would encourage viewers to approach it with an open mind, rather than holding on to rigid expectations of what a historical drama should look like. If you do, you will discover a work of striking creativity. For me, it was thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end. Oh and dont forget to watch extra scenes after the end credits on the last episode.

Did you check them yourself?! What makes you think that I am assuming? You are the one who is assuming here. Make sure you're flawless before you clock me. Here are a few, you can go check the rest yourself. I am not going to waste any more of my time on something trivial. These profiles have little to no activity (meaning they are only used to troll or fake vote) and were created around the time it started to air. And that's not including the ones that didn't write the reviews. If you like the series, that's fine...I have nothing against people who genuinely like the show, but don't be clocking people in the comments day in and day out.

Also, my assessment is based on the comic, not the novel. As for Thai fans boycotting the show, I didn’t see the same reaction when The Next Prince didn’t follow the book. I don’t like the double standard. That show was badly written and adapted, yet everyone is praising how it was trending on various platforms. I'm just saying.

As an outsider, my impressions may differ from native viewers. For one, I’m not particularly invested in the fictional political conflict, nor do I have strong opinions on how closely Kosol’s appearance matches expectations.

So far, the adaptation seems faithful to the source material...at least based on the first episode. Nothing has struck me as a glaring deviation from the comic, though I’m sure discrepancies will emerge as the series progresses. Given that this is only the beginning, I expect future episodes may take more creative liberties.

I'm really enjoying the first episode. It follows the comic pretty closely so far. I'm glad they didn't spend too much time on the modern-day part of his story (because they could always fill it in later if needed)

Yes. Japanese Slice of Life dramas hardly get sad endings.

The vibe is "slice of life". If you're seeking a gripping narrative with twists and turns, this won't meet those expectations. Instead, it offers a gentle, comforting experience with just enough chaos and fluff to keep things mildly engaging. The storytelling is modestly well executed, though it leans heavily on atmosphere over plot. I did notice slight changes in the opening sequence, (them sitting down with the wedding attire), which shifts subtly from episode to episode and seems to reflect the emotional tone of each installment. It's a pleasant watch if you're looking for something light and stress-free, but don't expect anything particularly groundbreaking.

But boy has no coins...he broke. No loan sharks will give him more money on top of what he owes them lol...also, Tada learned the news from the tabloid.
