I agree with you 1000%!!! I went into this because a friend on the feeds said it was the best one out of the dramas I was considering watching (a bit of a drama slump/overdose moment!). So I started watching this dragging my feet, having been so disappointed by two thai dramas before (ITSAY, TWM). And just like you, I was blown away by Mix's acting! Wishing him a long , varied and successful career He was just perfect! Earth I found a bit wooden... And the kids not growing! And a few usual drama tropes: you're cold I'll give you my coat, you scratched your hand let's take out the major first aid kit, time jump... Just nitpicking!! Two episodes in, I was so caught in the story I forgot it was a BL: it was just an excellent drama! So kudos to writer and director for giving us something extraordinary to watch! This drama is going to be a tough act to follow! (I watched TharnType afterwards...No comment!) I love your reviews: they are concise, precise and just! Keep them coming!
I have seen dramas (the one that springs to my mind immediately is 1000 Stars) way better than this one. So I really don't understand why I liked it. You pointed out everything that was wrong with it which was so obvious from the get go and I would have normally dropped it because of it:bad filming, bad storytelling, plotholes as wide as the grand canyon( I actually rewatched the episode 4 trying to find the scene I must have missed where they turn fom one night stand to friends with benefits-wasn't there! And there are loads of examples like this one..), bad casting and so much bad acting...and still I binge watched it over two days! Maybe it was just the fact of this drama being so awfully bad that it's good?!?!?
I would love to see this movie but every streaming site seems to have the same copy of it: movie split in two, bad quality, wrong format and subs out of sync. Has anyone found a good copy or at least ok subs? Please help! Thank you!
So far so good but why is there always a big corporation/politicians conspiracy/corrupiton plot in these dramas? I can guess that the main characters are going to suffer for 15 episodes and the bad guys are going to get their comeuppance during the episode 16. Anything new here maybe straying from the usual plotline?
I loved the 1st episode cameo by the lead pair from The Smile Has Left Your Eyes....so that's what happened to…
But apart from that why should I continue watching this? The idea is good but. .. The ML turned from an ugly, intelligent pushover(only around her!) into a pretty brainless pushover. While the FL turned from a beautiful bully into a ordinary looking bully. Do they get likable? Does he grow his backbone and get his brain back eventually?
On the downside, the heart transplant+meet the original heart's owner's boyfriend storyline has been done so many…
Mix was really the best part of the drama,he was the one who made me continue watching in spite of all the corny and too cute bits (a tiny scratch on a hand: let's take the first aid kit out!). Anyway, wishing Mix a long and successful career. He more than deserves it!

Kdrama has done the heart transplant storyline a few times: Falling for innocence and Summer Scent for example though after watching these two I tend to avoid heart translpant stories....
I never read the book 1000 stars was based upon but I loved the way they managed to show Tian's change in the drama....
This is better than I expected:it is not another mediocre bl with rave reviews. Colour me surprised when I realized…
On the downside, the heart transplant+meet the original heart's owner's boyfriend storyline has been done so many times. This series is wrought with all the usual clichés and drama tropes. The new addition is the innocent villagers but of course exploited by evil merchant/gangster. The character of Tian is the only one who stands out because we see his growth from a spoilt brat to a nice human being.
This is better than I expected:it is not another mediocre bl with rave reviews. Colour me surprised when I realized that the main actors can actually act!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your reviews crack me up...I am reading this now, laughing out loud with tears streaming down my cheeks. Thank you so much! You are a brilliant, smart and funny writer.
And again there is this annoying policewoman and her I-am-better-than-you-and-I-know-better attitude.... Fortunately she's not that much on screen but every time she says something I have the urge to throw my laptop out the window... She is so ruining this great drama! Writers, could we for once have an inteligent female detective who actually thinks without jumping to conclusion! On the other hand the bromance between the four is brilliant. And the great baddie is obvious from the moment we see the face of a certain new character sometimes halfway through....
The slow burn dramas are my favourite and this one is a perfect example. But there is something off here, I just can't put my finger on it, it's like it is out of sync...it gives off a weird vibe!
