I’m only at the second episode so I can’t say much yet, but it’s cracking me up how everyone keeps saying that Sun doesn’t stand out when dude looks like freaking Jaejoong in Mirotic era like please 😭😂
1. To regain his sight, Gu Cheon says it’s not easy and he must disturb what shouldn’t be disturbed. But then…
For the soul sacrifice of Saeng Gang’s mother, Gu Cheon couldn’t know in advance. Him becoming more gwi-mae and less human makes sense though. I guess we might see the ramifications of that in season two (if there is one) since it’s not shown in this season.
The English subtitles were fairly accurate, so all we have left is unreliable narration or slight script incoherences. I can live with that!
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. ♥️

Ok #2 makes total sense now.
For #1 I still don’t understand why he says that recovering his sight is very complicated and has consequences and then we see it’s actually quite easy and no consequences are shown. Unless he found an easier hack or the consequences will show up later, but that’s not even alluded to, never mind shown or explained.
#3 and 4: I was under the impression that Gu Cheon was afraid of becoming an ak-gwi because he would lose control and go on a rampage (I think he even says he’ll kill everyone in the palace). In the end he remains of sound mind and even turns against the primordial gwi-mae apparently. So I still don’t get what the big danger was.
Teach you a lesson is like this for first3 episodes, then it gets emotion heavy and action is almost non existent…
So glad I came across your comment. I just finished ep 3 of Teach You a Lesson and the only thing keeping me hooked is the action. You saved my precious time!
I have a couple of questions, anyone who can enlighten me will be greatly appreciated.
1. To regain his sight, Gu Cheon says it’s not easy and he must disturb what shouldn’t be disturbed. But then he just slays the first room’s ghost in one hit and takes its eyes without any big repercussion. Did I miss something?
2. When he cuts his own throat to go visit the primordial ghost and make a deal with it, why can’t he do that by drowning like usual?
3. He was most afraid of becoming an ak-gwi, and he indeed becomes one. But in the end he’s not? Why was he so afraid of that if it can be reversed, and so quickly at that?
4. How was he able to come back to life? Just because Saeng Gang said to? He didn’t manage to kill the primordial ghost since at the end we see he’s still shackled to it.
Wait whaaat I didn’t recognise him at all in Teach You a Lesson?? Even his acting seems different. Crazy, usually I can spot the BL actors in mainstream dramas immediately. I hope he gets more roles, he’s talented.
Not bad at all. We're getting there. Soon we might actually have a full-budget Korean BL series. This one was…
Yesss, we’re getting so close to a proper BL drama… I can’t help but love this one despite all of its flaws because it’s a sign we’re headed in the right direction.
Taeseon: “Can you stay by my side and keep yourself safe, so I don’t regret falling for you?” Chaeha: “Yes, I can.” Chaeha, the very next episode: *believes the words of a potential traitor and gets stabbed… again*
lmao sorry I love this series but some stuff is just perfect unintentional comedy :‘D
The moments you list also ticked me off. Twice does Chaeha do nothing while Taesung gets roughed up. Then Taesung…
Totally agree, it’s a good series with a few regrettable flaws. What you just explained is the most glaring ones, then add to that Tae’s change of personality at the end, him appearing to save Chae without knowing his location (twice!), making the bad guy monologue to distract and overpower him is comically cliché, the AI-generated visuals, the rushed ending, the gag sound effects, some takes dubbed in post production but the sound was not well overlayed… really a shame because without all of that it would have been a masterpiece!
OK, I'm gonna be understanding and still critical. I can't help but feel that the last few minutes of the ending…
The moments you list also ticked me off. Twice does Chaeha do nothing while Taesung gets roughed up. Then Taesung does nothing while his secrets are being exposed. It just didn’t make sense.
🥲

The last episode really confused me…
Chaeha: “Yes, I can.”
