I watched this series, especially episodes #5 and #6. IMO, the š scenes didnāt come across as romantic, nor did they feel like they were meant to be portrayed that way. Honestly, I only watched the series to confirm the extremely bad reviews, and I didnāt feel it was trying to romanticize terrible actions. That said, the lack of consequences, particularly for Jom, creates a real moral dilemma in the story.
I love an enemies-to-lovers plot, but with Chain and Jom it was taken way too far. The series was terrible not because of the actors, but because of the storytelling itself: choppy pacing, rushed arcs, loose endings, and no content warnings for sensitive material. Thatās what really killed it. What a waste of cast.
Iād only recommend this series if, like me, youāre curious enough to watch something truly bad just to see for yourself.
I agree with you, tbh. Most people usually try to reason the plot from their own POV, and of course that affects their judgment. In my case, I wonāt deny that Kelvin was morally wrong, past traumas donāt justify harming people like a sociopath. If I were Vier, honestly, my forgiveness would come at the cost of leaving him behind forever. He would be part of something I wouldnāt want lingering in the air near me. But in the end, this is life, people donāt always do whatās best, even for themselves. Iāve met people with the same reasoning as Vier, with the same kind of plastic heart. That's human, and that's actually plausible. Also, in the other hand, I understand how Kelvin's character was persistently in survival mode after all he's been through.
Disgusting bs making fun of Christianity (ofc because it would never dare to make fun of any other religions)
How is this mocking Christianity? This series actually portrayed Catholics in an extremely positive light, so much so that even some LGBTQ individuals felt disappointed by it. Most LGBTQ people never met an Father Arnon in their life,
I think the lack of accuracy in portraying LGBT struggles is because Thailand hasnāt experienced what we in the West suffered under the Catholic Church. Although Thailand does have Catholics, theyāre a tiny minority, and the country has generally held much softer views on homosexuality than we have in the West. For that reason, I didnāt expect the series to take a fully antagonistic stance against the Catholic Church, as many in the LGBTQ community expected it to portray. I agree with the rest of the critique.
I just literally dropped it because I loathe ritsu lol and I would never be with somebody like him even if Iām unalived today lol but the story, the acting, the cinematography, everything, even my strong disgust feeling towards ritsu shows this show is pretty good and worth watching (if you donāt mind ritsu) š
Hate the f ending. The serie was good, I was entertaining and the two visuals are super B, but why min hyun was so stupid? š„² he could just simply feed him with some blood from a cut from anywhere lol isnāt like heās going to die from a cut in his hand unless jun ho got f rabies. the episodes were too short also and must scenes seemed rushed, but I honestly loved the series, except for that depresing af ending
Honestly how did he even drive himself there in one piece? I'm liking it so far but def NOT the drunk driving…
Not impossible, but definetely not safe. That part reminds me of my dad, who used to drive a 35km highway heavily intoxicated every day for many years, but somehow never caused a car wreck. I guess he had good reflexes despite the alcohol and sometimes other substances, but never crashed his car. I used to go with him when I had day off at school but it was pretty scary.
