I pray to the GL gods that PLs Love is decent, but I will compare it to MSZ, which while it was objectively not much of a plot, they made it good. It's in my rewatch list just for the feels.

I blocked concrete lotus quite a while ago.

The last 7 episodes were unnecessary.

I completely agree about not having a redemption arc. That woman is irredeemable. I get cranky about unearned redemption of bad parents in GLs. Poisonous Love is a good example of an unearned redemption.

I didn't feel like it really ended well. they could have cut it at the interview stage and it would have been good.

I've seen the pup in some of Orms BTS and other content, so I believe it is true.

No, Only You was better, but that's a low bar for both of them. CH3 needs to invest in better writing. They have the talent and mostly have the production values.

This show.... no it wasn't worth it in my opinion. I'm keeping my subscription because Pls Love starts in a week, and I hope it's good.

I can unequivocally say two good things about the final episode.

Thank goodness it's finally over, and thank goodness they didn't try to redeem that wretched mother.

It is an absolute crime that CH3 keeps throwing garbage scripts at LingOrm. Even for what it is, this was about 5 episodes longer than it needed to be because those episodes were the same script with minor details changed. The sad part of it is that the concept had promise, but the writers never found it. My rating for this show is a 1, because MDL won't let me rate it 0.

I would drop my ch3 subscription, except PLs Love airs next Friday.

I can enjoy a surface level story, but this is bringing depth that is all too rare in GLs.

This is surprisingly good given it's in the same universe as MOS. (I stopped watching that after the sexual assault) All three of them are bringing their A game to this. I hope the ending isn't rushed, given that this is only 10 episodes.

exactly! so many options for some real depth in the story and they ignore them all.

Yes, reading comprehension. Yours is lacking. "AI could do better" doesn't mean AI is good or useful. It means the worst slop on the internet is better. But if you expressed ideas instead on emotions....

" But use it as an essay, save it, might help for a paper later. " is that your projection indicating you are still in school. LOL

It's good that you own your mistakes.

Go away child, you're boring.

but lets make it worse

This looks fantastic! I love a GL with a real plot. As someone commented under the teaser, it looks like a combination of Petrichor and Runaway.

I was pleasantly surprised by the final episode. One of my usual complaints about GLs is the toxic parent figure who is forgiven without doing any of the work to earn forgiveness. Yes, it leans into cultural norms, but it's also lazy writing. But Aunt Phani did the work. The time was compressed because they chose to cram it into a single episode, but with a couple of time jumps we felt the weight of the work she did. We also see how she is still grudging about it and then is finally good about it by the wedding.

I still say they are shortchanging themselves and the fans by compressing good stories down to 8 episodes. Each of the four stories could have been at least 12 episodes, but very few GLs are provided the budget for it. The Loyal Pin, which I still hold up as the pinnacle of storytelling in Thai GL, only managed 16 episodes because of the support of the Thai government.

Wow. Apparently you are seriously in your feels on this. Up to this point I have stayed very specifically on my issues with the series and have not criticized you as a person, but you have criticized me. Based on you attacking me rather than ideas, I don't feel concerned about that anymore.

Nothing came from my notepad. For months I have consistently criticized ch3 for poor writing. It's not a me problem if you can't tell the difference between a consistent position and copypasta.

"Literally not talking about Lingorm or any of ch3" I was clarifying that I'm not criticizing LingOrm, or their acting. Reading comprehension seems to be lacking here.

"Was there an actual scene?" Yes, all of them.- it's the entire show is repetitive. Ging does something evil, Ran fails to stand up for Neen and that causes tension between them. They could completely remove multiple episodes and it wouldn't change the story.

"I mean youtube does have to work on it's writing." Youtube doesn't write those- People post content. that content was AI slop.

"Don't bring up AI as something useful when you say you hate it" At no point in my post did I claim AI was useful. Again, reading comprehension matters.

All I see is someone who got angry and then responded from emotion instead of taking the time to cool off and them make sure they understood the point I made. In that anger, you have made multiple errors in understanding, simple facts, and logic.

Your last line was quite the self-own. I suspect you will have deleted out of embarrassment by the time I log in again.

I'm not looking for kudos. I'm expressing an opinion. You are welcome to disagree with my opinion, but don't just tell me I can't have my opinion. Bring an argument and make your case, or keep scrolling. I’m not saying other people can’t enjoy it. Some people stan anything LingOrm and will overlook all the legitimate criticism. I like LingOrm enough to make the argument that CH3 owes them for the reputational harm caused by In Love Forever and Only You.

The writing of this show is low-effort garbage; star power and high production values don't fix bad writing. The plot is so repetitive that I have been accurately predicting plot points from ep 3 on.

The writing is as bad as, or worse than, what AI would do. Why shouldn't I point that out? I'm specifically looking at the writing. I'm not comparing it to the full-on uncanny-valley slop that is filling YouTube over the last few months. There are some cute scenes that were only saved by LingOrm’s acting, and they get credit for that. I want to see them get better writing than ch3 produces, and we have to be honest about how bad it is, or ch3 won’t change. (Even then, they may not.)

On the bright side, there is only one episode of this poorly written train wreck left. AI could write a better script than this, and I detest AI in creative works.

If I were Ranuch, I would have agreed to the meeting with Ging and recorder her admitting to conspiracy with Utt. That woman needs to be in prison.

Ging is nucking futs... That is all.

It depends on where you are watching it. Some youtubers are reuploading it and numbering it differently. I try to stick to the source so they get the views. If you watch Kongthup's Channel, you get the correct numbering and support the production. 1/1, 1/2, 2/1, 2/2, etc
