Finally found a historical drama with a happy ending and long episodes. I wish the last episode was long so we could seen why the other guy ran off so fast after his master said to kill them but blame the pirates.
It's also cute how everyone knew Gu She and Tao Mo were meant to be together.
reading your analysis the only thing I can say with surety is that you clearly didn't understand the show
No problem. It's my fault for judging the show so quickly. This show is easily one best BLs we had this year. Both characters are so complex and I feel for both of them. I'm glad to be a member. I'm currently watching the boys on The Golden Spoon. Love the duo.

I was meant to correct this. I commented right after watching it for the first time. Since I have watched it an unhealthy amount my mind has changed.
*After I calmed down and re-watched this series I have come to realize that Ji Woo was hurting. Because Seo Joon was a big star his time was preoccupied with press and doing shows. Ji Woo felt lonely and rightfully so. The scene where it was Seo Joon's birthday and Ji Woo had a cake and dinner made but he had to watch Seo Joon celebrate with his cast was sad to watch. Ji Woo had no choice but to break it off so he would not feel so lonely anymore. Leaving a note and no face to face explanation was not nice but it was understandable. In the end, they both knew how much they meant to one another. Communication was missing. But when they finally communicated about what was missing in their relationship they both agreed to stop doing those things to make their relationship work. I'm glad they found their way back*
I hate to say this. This is my take on this short series. I did not like how the friend was only with Heeju because she felt bad for her. I think if she gave her the space she was asking she would have gotten over her crush somehow. Being with someone out of pity is messed up. I feel for Heeju because she knows that her friend only dated her because she didnt want her to be depressed. Heeju was really selfless to break up with her friend bc her friend would have gone on with the charade being unhappy.
seo ham has a lot of potential to do great things. i hope when he comes out the military he continues acting but also gets into modeling. would love for him to get international recognition. hoping for a semantic error s2.
wow, seo joon deserved better than what ji woo put him through. leaving a note with no explanation and chance to face him was just cowardice. seo joon should have had ji woo chase him more. tho, when ji woo said he doesnt have it in him to be as persistent as seo joon that is when he should have known who was into the relationship more. i am so mad this show. glad seo joon is happy tho. seo joon fought for who he loved. ji woo was too lazy and self centered to do the same.
I think people would like this drama more if it had a happy ending. The show did run in circles with the same conversations but I personally felt like it made sense. In and Mol were never direct with Wang. Every time Wang had a question about his dad and what happen they wouldnt answer it in a plain way or they were really vague. It was only until the mother left and In and Wang were by themselves that he was able to get true answers and piece everything together for himself.
I personally would have liked them to get together. For In to see that he let Siam go but he will fight for Wang. So, yes I can see that people are disappointed this didnt happen. But the show had sad ending written all over it. If it wasnt Wang dying the same way as his father it will be them not getting together.
I think Wang was In's peace. He was scared that Wang was actually able to break down some walls. He even said he didnt want to get use to Wang's cooking.
In was Wang's revelation. He knew how he felt about In. It was not just him "picking up where his dad left off." It was genuine feelings but he realized that In was never going to leave his comfort zone so he had no choice but to leave with his mother and seek out a life outside of uncertainty, shame and guilt tripping.

The show was missing clear understanding.
