I know people have trouble with Pin's false hope, but you have to remember that this show is set in the past. Back then, it wasn’t unusual for people to marry without love. The idea of “he’ll love me one day” sounds silly in a modern setting, but at that time, love didn’t come first, obligations did. Pin could even consider herself lucky, since she gets to be with her crush instead of some prince she doesn’t even know.
And dare I say, even modern girls might think the same way. After all, we’re talking about crushes here, and love can be blind.
I love Peak so much. He chose this role, and it really paid off. This is the kind of serious BL we need. I mean, GMM shows are fine for what they are, but sometimes the main characters need to get out of high school, lol.
I love Peak, and the premise for this show is really good. I hope there won't be too many melodramatic moments, I don't really like over-the-top scenes in most series.
Gemini is still my bias, but I feel like he could be more popular if it weren’t for his immaturity. He and Fourth started from the same point after My School President, and Gemini actually has more advantages (his face is pretty, his voice is good, his English is fluent, that is a big plus). Yet now, Fourth seems to be the bigger star between the two. I guess being a rich kid from birth doesn’t help him grow up any faster. And you can’t use the 'be yourself' motto as an excuse for childish behavior forever. I mean, people can be funny without being insensitive. His joke when the earthquake happened was harmless, but it was silly and not fitting for an international artist. No wonder advertising brands and prestigious organizations prefer to work with Fourth instead.
Just because the special ep was horrible doesn't mean you have to make a comment that sounds like you hate the…
It deserves an 8, and I gave it an 8 because of many other factors. My comment is still valid. There's no contradiction in my evaluation. The show has its strengths and weaknesses. Simple as that.
Is there a such thing as dvd or Blu ray anymore, it’s all digital now, your lucky if they offer this as a digital…
Bluray is still a thing and it's way better than digital format but you have to spend quite bit to watch it on a good HD TV. But for series like this, it's hard to get Bluray format. The highest quality at the moment is webrip.
If it weren't for Park Bo-gum as the main lead, this show would be quite average. It's unclear where it's heading most of the time — the half-comedy, half-serious crime plot is extremely hard to write, and there's also a bit of romance. The main plot is weak.
And dare I say, even modern girls might think the same way. After all, we’re talking about crushes here, and love can be blind.
Oh, BTW, I'm an expat in Bangkok, thanks for your suggestion anyway.
