I too prefer dark deep stories over fluffy teenage romcoms in any situation. BUT!! No disease including bipolar…
I dont know a bit about the novel, Im sure you're right. But honestly I dont care, I just review what I watch. I we could remove the rape, this would've been a very good toxic relationship story. But I cant. Their happy ending was not realtic but that was the best they could get. None of them happy obviously but thats what a toxic love means maybe? I dont know. Wish they had no rape scenes, I'd for sure give this higher rates
I actually agree with what you said. This is the first drama that u hate both lufeng and yichen but u understand…
Well, it was the happiest possible ending for this series lol.
They said that he was completely healed, just need close attention so I want to believe that. Lu Feng def lost his spark, his joy. No matter what, mental disorders break something inside people and they never can go back their old themselves. I dont have any words for Yi Chen cuz even as a healthy person I'd always feel nervous with him, he could make me sick too. I'd be scared if he will leave me in any hardhsip so he is a redder red flag than Lu Feng, if its possible lol.
I'm one of those few who enjoys dark themed BLs and this one is no exception. I will take a dark romance over…
I too prefer dark deep stories over fluffy teenage romcoms in any situation. BUT!! No disease including bipolar disorder can be justification for rape and torture. As much as I feel sorry for Lu Feng for what he had been through and see his passionate strong love for Xiao Chen, he is unforgivable at the end of the day!
I actually agree with what you said. This is the first drama that u hate both lufeng and yichen but u understand…
EXACTLY!!! I wish them happiness but realisticly, its impossible for any couple like them to be happy. Nobody can be happy with Lu Feng, he is bipolar or not its not about his medical condition its about his anger issues and lack of self control and moral. Also Xiao Chen cant make anybody happy as well, thinking he might give up and leave that person in the first hardship. I hate Lu Feng but also feel sorry for him, I dont like the series but also kept watching with curiosity. Completely confused lol. Im glad you get me :))
I have very complicated feelings about this one. Im not sure if I hate it or enjoy it. My comment might have spoilers so beware!
Lu Feng is one of the most dangerous people in the world. He is either white or black. When he loves, he makes his partner on cloud, but when he is angry, he cant control his temper. He abuses, tortures and even r*pes, freaking bastard!!! I cant imagine loving him or having a happy relationship with him. He was horrible. But on the other hand, he loved Xiao Chen with all his existence which made us pity him. He was super unlucky. Whenever he wanted to do something good; protect his relationsip, do something nice for Xiao Chen or for his family, even when he tried to heal himself, everything ruined and horrible things happened. Nothing was his fault yet everything was his fault at the same time. Also nobody was on his side, not his family, not Xiao Chen's family-brother, not even Xiao Chen himself. Poor boy.
Meanwhile Xiao Chen was a weirdo. First of all he never ever loved Lu Feng as much as Lu Feng loved him. Lu Feng literally got sick for his love for Xiao Chen. In the beginning, when Lu Feng loved him and protected him with all his might, Xiao Chen didnt appreciate him, left him easily, he was cold distant and not loving. Then Lu Feng did HORRIBLE things, We expected him to run away and be actually cold this time but guess what? He goes after Lu Feng, gets back with him easily, and supports him and protects him... How can I understand this guy???
As I said when I started this comment, Im not sure if I like this or hate this. If Lu Feng wasnt an abusive sicko, I might've loved him and the series but all his actions made everything unacceptable for me. The only thing that made me enjoy is me liking dark and deep stories. This was hella dark and deep!
Finally I must say I didnt like most of the cast except Ayden who portrayed Lu Feng. Ayden!!!! What an amazing, talented actor you are!!!! You showed us every small emotion of Lu Feng when he was happy, sad, scared, angry and even crazy or delirious. I just admire you!!! I will keep following him! BRAVO!!!
I LOVE Perth Santa. I really love them. I even liked them before they become partners but I love them much more after they got together. This series had a good plot, great cast with talented people. Overall it was fun. I just have one criticism , which is kinda important. It was too slow. It felt like, we watched the same episode for whole 5-6 episodes. Sun Solar transitions over and over, nothing major happens and they just try to deal with Solar. I honestly think if this was a movie, it would have been just amazing!!! Literally this would make a hell of a movie!!
This is not a criticism but just a thought.. I was thinking if it is possible for them to actually keep having a intimate relationship after this event if this was real life. Pobmek had been through so much! Helping your boyfriend through thick and thin is just natural. What I mean is, he was hanging with a CHILD in his boyfriend's body every other day. If you are with the child and feel him as if he is your boyfriend, thats really disturbing and improper, which he didnt, great! But the problem starts when he is with his boyfriend again. Because when you look at this person for months, and see a 7 year old child whom you cant have intimate feelings and skinship, I dont think you can feel like old days anymore when he is back to himself. Im not sure if I can explain myself with my broken english but I hope you get me. Even when everything was back to normal they kept missing and thinking about Sun. For Solar this is completely okay, but for Pobmek, he actually kisses and sleeps with the person/body he thought was a child on previous days... I strongly feel this is a very difficult situation and not easy to keep that relationship safe psychologically.
This series probably just isn’t for you because you tend to prioritize realism, which is difficult to expect…
I totally agree with you about this not being for me. Thats why I exactly said ' It seems like this really is not my cup of tea.'.
Even tho I dont think their communication is very healthy, I too think this was character driven not plot driven. Which is why I thought there wasnt any happenings and its kinda boring.
Im glad if its not about age lol. I just started to think that maybe me watching bls over 10 years made me more selective and not appreciative to most productions as much as I used to.
My critism about actors and their talent is completely a personal opinon so I respect if you/others enjoy watching them. But I agree that they are newbies and they didnt start from a negative point so Im sure they will get much better in the future and have amazing careers especially thinking how succesful this series was.
It is what it is, and you're entitled to like what you like. But saying there were no events or calling the characters…
Well, thinking the show that I watched had no events and character was soulless was my personal opinion. Thinking a person who wrote about her own review is childish is simply yours. Again, thinking those actors as 'superior' is yours. And mine is different.
I dont have to use any reasons to explain my thoughts (positive or negative) about anything because the producers are not going to get feedback from my personal opinions and I dont have to explein myself to the people here. BUT! I DID wrote my reasons. I said it had no events, I explained my negative observations about charactes. I LITERALLY told my reasons. Just re-read my comment, it wasnt like 'Omg It was borng, I didnt like the series and the characters, the end!' Which still would be okay because I dont have to!!!
When you want to respond someone's personal opinion YOU are the one who should add reasons to say 'Oh you think like this but no look there is this reason to think opposite, hence you might be wrong about your opinion'. Your comment saying Im childish for not enjoying the acting or the series is just feel like critisim that comes from someone who cant handle some negative comment and try to be childishly vocal about it.
I kinda want to copy and paste your comment as a respond to you lol. Just read people's comments thinking 'thats their OWN opinion, if I dont have anything logical to say I should stay silent and mind my own business'. Trust me everything will be easier and more beautiful for you.
The older I get, the less I agree with MDl rates and natually with the majority of MDL people. I know this show has loads of fans and crazy fans can get very aggressive and hateful but I have to be honest with my opinions. Bevare of spoilers.
First of all, this show was about a golden retriever running after someone who doesnt even want to adopt him. Dont get me wrong, I like the 'trying to win his heart' phase in series. But this one wasnt exciting, romantic, cute or different in any way. Every single episode the same thing happened: Duang ran after Qin and he was cold with super thick walls. For Duang; there is cute and lovely and there is immature and childish. Every behaviour of Duang felt like he is an elementary school student As if he is a minor. I personally dont like that. Watching his intimate scenes almost felt wrong. For Qin, there is cold and distance people with traumas and there is soulless people who uses their so called traumas. Him, getting over things after one conversation with his family felt his whole personality was built on something not as tragic. Dont get me wrong, Im not saying that was a small situation for a child, Im just talking about this spesific character. He was simply rude and soulless.
I also think acting was not top tier. Side characters were performed by much better actors. Not much happened during the series as well. Like what was the story? What happened? Can we actually count any events? It seems like this really is not my cup of tea. I enjoy series that actually has a storyline and realistic characters that we can bound. Didnt enjoy this show at all. Well not everybody has to enjoy it right?
I feel like it's pretty recent, maybe just a few weeks, because the timing of Daou's finger injury and Tay being…
true, thats a great risk. maybe they trusted the project a lot from the very beginning and invited them considering the schedule of the series. Im not sure if every other guest was extremely famous in thailand but I think they were one of the very few internationally famous guests.
How did you feel about the homophobia in the same games? Were you not put off?
As I said, 'YOU' find them to be in bad taste. Thats your opinion. Humour comes in various shapes. Other might think they were hilarious. Did it hurt you really? If two straight men's jokes about feeling uncomfortable of heavy skinship hurts you, I dont think its about them. Either you have a traumatic experience or you are overly sensitive, in which both case, its not their fault. Fanservice personally is not my cup of tea. But I know well enough that that is the cornerstone of the Thai entertainment industry.
I didnt find that moment extremely funny, but I laughed when they laughed because I enjoy watching people having fun. I like the positive vibes and joy. If I was a cranky person, I could easily judge them and find something to be unhappy about. Yet again, it wouldnt be thinking them as homophobic people. Because the game was fun or not, people were not homophobic in any case.
Lastly, thats a SHOW, a GAME!! Ofcourse they can change tactics, personalities, approaches through the episodes. They can be fun for some, annoying for others. Everybody might loved ep 5 the most, but you the least, thats completely okay. I can understand every critic. My only object is just labeling people as homophobes without any valid reason. Honestly you calling them homophobic really wasnt fair and that triggered me. Thats a heavy word to not use without careful consideration.
How did you feel about the homophobia in the same games? Were you not put off?
Im trying to get your point but I dont understand, was it offensive? I guess you are the one who should explain it since you are the one who argues about this. Did they hurt anybody? If not, fun can come in various shapes. Something funny for them, might not be funny for you. As long as there wasnt any intentional insult or defamation, I dont think there is any problem in the show. They were just simply making jokes!!! Having fun. Two straight men (one of them is literally married with children) making jokes about feeling uncomfortable when they have strong skinship during the game is not homophobic at all. Especially when they have a gay member and that member is showing such intimate moments with his partner there.
And I know lots of gay people who dont like having skinship with opposite sex and I dont think thats heterophobic at all. That just a super normal humanly reaction. So if a straight person feels uncomfortable from that situation, why would this be homophobic? Which I must say in this case, they werent actually 'disgusted', they were just making jokes using big and unrealistic reactions about that to have fun. All of them are super famous people getting payed to play those games. They would never ever do something they are actually disgusted!!!
Plus asking someone 'Is it funny? Why? Tell me? Explain it!!' and then saying 'If you cant explain it in 7 days, that means its not funny!' is just clearly nonsense. Nobody is obliged to explain their sense of humour to you as long as -as I said before- that doesnt hurt anybody.
I feel like it's pretty recent, maybe just a few weeks, because the timing of Daou's finger injury and Tay being…
No actually its been a while. If im not wrong it was from december to february. Daou's finger's healing journey taking a long time because first it healed crooked and he got another surgery so it still is healing.
The best Thai cast possible!!! Daou, Tay, Jeff, Nunew in the same show... Its like a dream. And Offroad as guest for whole 4 episodes!!!! I loved every bit of this. I am a Daou Offroad fan, so I started for them but stayed for the fun. I really hope for a season 2 asap!
Was the FL rude most of the drama? I dislike that type of trope
She was a kind and nice person. She was rude to him, only to him. And I dont only mean the beginning of the relationship, I mean even before that. She was generally blocking him all the time
This was fun to watch. It felt like I watched a couple of different romcoms at once. I wouldnt say we got a passionate strong love story but it was an easy watch. Realistically, there wasnt any reason for Gyeong Nam to fall in love with Mi Rae. She was mostly rude and cold, but well, this is a series after all. I didnt like the acting of Ji Soo. She was dull. I think you need to have much more to become partners with Seo In Guk, because he is almost perfect and its not easy to shine next to him. Seo In Guk, oh how I love him!!! He is one of the rare poeple who can change from evil to angel, from sexy to childish, from sad to happy in one second. He is just amazing. He is not dashing handsome but he is extremely charismatic. 10/10!!!
Lastly I must say I am so freaking happy that such technology doesnt exist. I would purchase one for sure as an antisocial lonely person. Then fell in love one of the very first characters I had date with. Then lose my tiny remaining connection with real world. After a whole wasted time, when I realize that that is not real, just AI, I would probably got lost in depression... This actually is a really realistic story lol!!!
I we could remove the rape, this would've been a very good toxic relationship story. But I cant.

Short for long, this gave me emotional turmoil.
