i think there was some issue with funding? i can’t quite remember now but actually the series was supposed to go on for longer than it did and was cut back. it’s a shame because i feel like you can tell that it’s kind of the case because of the pacing; we didn’t REALLY get anywhere in the story because there were originally going to be more episodes to tell it! still a cute show though… i think i might rewatch now 😌

mew said a while ago that if thailand legalises same-sex marriage, he might be more open to sharing his relationship. a man of his words, hahaha. anyway, friends to lovers… congratulations to the couple 😌

as a fan of vixx, i’m so glad to see hakyeon doing well! something i like about idols (who act well) is that you kind of already know what their personality is—so it’s really fun to watch them when the characters they play are just so completely different and unrecognisable :)

his acting is so great… it’s such a shame his catalogue is so short! fingers crossed for Jung Won Chang as ML in a drama. i feel like he’d REALLY suit a corrupt/troubled officer role, hahaha

I think we’re the opposite! Although I love a good happy ending, I love a sad ending so long as it still feels like there is closure. There is nothing worse than when in order to make something end happily, all of the previous events just conveniently become pointless haha! Give me some angst and heartbreak!!

Also I just noticed your profile picture is Infinite ❤️

Ah, I mean that, adapting it for Thailand/Thai history, it might make historically more sense that the princes are younger^^ Like people are saying Nanon looks young to have already been married but I think that is quite modern thinking. But yes, I don’t know what was changed in the Korean version because I also dropped it, hahah

he announced within this year or late last that he would be acting soon. even if he had have said he was taking a break this year, i guess there are some opportunities that are difficult to pass up/you don’t want to pass up. and also it’s not as if he is an independent artist so may not entirely have the the liberty of choosing when/when not to work and what the particular work is :) this also isn’t necessarily being released soon

I am almost certain Win is 4th/main lead. Like 99.9%.

Um… It’s an adaptation. Like the Korean version was an adaptation. That isn’t “ripping off plotlines”; the companies have to purchase the rights to adapt these scripts…

I wonder what the historical Thai age of marriage was, though? Perhaps it was young anyway. But even between the Chinese original version and the Korean version, some characters came across quite differently… For that reason I am going to try and watch this with an open mind :)

Bubu Jing Xin was my first CDrama too! I never watched the Korean remake because I loved the original so much. I will watch this one but I will try to separate it from BBJX and not think of it as an adaptation otherwise I don’t think I will enjoy it haha

Nanon is a good actor so I’m not upset about him being in the series. Also he said he would have an acting role earlier in the year… It’s not a surprise, haha. I think he looks young but honestly the whole cast looks very young so it’s not out of place.

I think the youngness of the cast could still work; after all, this is a remake so the storyline might be somewhat different to what people who have seen Bubu Jing Xin and/or Moon Lovers are expecting.

Guess we will have to wait and see!

Yes, I agree. I really don’t know how to word this well but of all the BL pairings, these two definitely didn’t have the most romantic chemistry either… And they hadn’t been working together much recently… I think some of the “fans” only liked Win and BrightWin but not necessarily Bright in the first place. If they no longer want to support, I wish they would just quietly stop supporting :)

I already commented but also want to say that I am excited to see Joong and Dunk in older, less stoic roles… Especially Joong, I am very curious about it! And First + Khaotung we already know will kill the roles 🫡

I’m sure it will be great! I might wait until at least a few episodes are aired to watch it though because watching one episode at a time for a Moon Lovers remake sounds too sad!

If you like Chinese historical dramas, I would say absolutely—but I might also be biased, haha! The hair also takes a second to get used to 🤭

Yeah, Win is 100% 4th and Nanon 8th. Guess we get what we’re given and have to accept it 🤭

Aw, dang :( I was just going by the cast listings on MDL. I haven’t even checked out the teaser but I’ll do that now!

I think Nanon is probably 4th prince, right?

I LOVE Bu Bu Jing Xin; it was the first Chinese drama I watched. The Korean remake didn’t really call to me but man am I excited for this one!!!!!
