tbh the mother was still a pos in the book, but it didn’t focus as much on wisanu’s storyline with the other guy as well as that whole engfah debacle, and from what i remember there’s just a lot of plot that they’ve got to fit in the last episode if they try to stay somewhat true to it (e.g, they’ve got the whole italy trip which is honestly one of my fave parts). but yeah the show definitely wasted a lot of time on other (imo unnecessary storylines), when it could’ve fleshed out more important ones. sorry for the rambling omds‼️ 🤧🤧🤧
writers need to get more comfortable with killing off toxic mothers, rebuking the idea of a redemption arc for that vile woman. how on earth those writers are going to wrap all this up AND give lada and earn the proper ending they deserve is beyond me. they literally should’ve just stuck to the book smh
i re watched gap a month ago, and i must say that watching the loyal pin now, i can definitely see the growth and maturity freen and becky have had as actresses and i love it so much!!
im ngl it’s kinda refreshing to see that Risa isn’t so ‘aggressively’ possessive over Ayaka. for some reason the second leads in the GLs are so possessive to the point it takes over half the plot. i’ve really gotta commend the writers on the pacing of this story cuz it’s SO good!
Is this gonna be censored tho? That's my question. I hope they don't pull a "couple of mirrors." 😔
i’m pretty sure the chinese government called for a ban on depictions of lgbt+ in the media, so they usually have to work around it with a ton of subtext, which is what i’m assuming this drama will do
i actually need the characters to start TALKING about what they really want, cuz why does Mawin KNOW that Kim and Wan like each other but is still insisting on marrying her- and I guess to 'soothe his conscience' or whatever he's asking Wan if she's all right with him marrying Kim as if he quite literally doesn't know her true feelings. frustrated is truly an understatement atp...
*me aggressively skipping
seems to be making the rounds at film festivals, so it might be a while till we actually get a version to stream
