Technically that was rape

Porsche being drugged means that was rape. Even though the drugs weren't given to him by Kinn, even though it wasn't violent and Porsche kissed back, it's still rape. I reflexively want to apologize. I also want to keep watch, but how can I reconcile that with knowing that was rape. I don't want people - men and women and any gender - watching this and thinking that was ok - ok to happen in their lives, in a relationship. I know they were using it as a plot point to get them together, I know it was unlikely this would have happened so early in the plot had Porshe not been DRUGGED (admittedly be someone else, but it's still rape), but it's a story. **They could have done it after he sobered up. Kinn took care of him and showed him genuine courtesy, care, gentleness, and respect. That would have been a perfect reason/way for them to sleep together consensually. Am I a hypocrite for wanting to keep watching?If you still disagree with me after that (subjectively) beautiful alternative to this scene that still gets us to the same place, please watch this video first before commenting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZwvrxVavnQ (it's great. You should watch it either way)

superb, go for it, dont hesitate like me

i knew about it for a long time but was unsure if i should watch this..saw this when i was really really bored, couldnt find anything interesting but now i frequently rewatch a few parts of this on a regular basis..its like a driving source of energy for me..10/10 i was closing, leaving every drama after watching 1-2 ep as i couldnt find interesting plotlinethen i thought lets give this a try..will leave if i wouldnt likebut i couldnt stop watching this...it was so refreshing drama with simple story, no turn of events which would give complete dark turn to story..ig this is what i wanted that time..coz i watched lots of drama with so much negativity that this was a breathe of fresh air..also its OST, acting of all characters is fantastic

Porches's acting 10/10, but the plot gaps, though

The internet has given me really high expectations for this, and I have been surprised, but also disappointed. Mostly by the plot gaps. Ok, so if you want someone to be your *trusted* body guard, you don't threaten them, and you certainly don't *spoiler* put a bag over their head, kidnap them, take them into the middle of a river, and then when they refuse, try to shoot them when they jump off the side of the yacht. Like what? Also, I'm not feeling Kinn's acting right now, but Porches' acting is so good, he kinda outshines everyone, like where'd they find this guy? He's also doing all his stunts, and though I hate people rating actors/performers on their looks, they got someone who is extremely talented at acting, also extremely physically capable, both in fighting and in general keeping his body looking good, and he's good looking in general. How do people like him exist? Can't he have at least one flaw?Also, if he knows all that information about Proche, he certainly knows where he lives, and can more easily, intelligently get to him that way, but wait WHAT is up with this house that they can't give it up? I'm sure there's a valid reason, SO JUST TELL US!

Kyuma - Naked with Arms Wide Open ... a philosophy of life

There are so many layers to this series and this episode really rammed that home for me. There is a masterfully crafted metaphysical thread woven through all the blood and guts and mayhem and fight for survival ... and Kyuma's story epitomises this in both words and deeds. At first I just wallowed around in great joy at the visual beauty of Kyuma's glorious nude body ... but as the episodes progressed, I thought WOW, Kyuma really is an interesting character ... there is a profound 'presence' to him ... his nudity became more than just a visual feast it morphed into something that was very symbolic ... symbolic of his abandonment of all the BS that we habitually and many times desperately cover ourselves with in our real lives. Kyuma powerfully exudes this wonderful sense of 'abandonment' ... his mind and body are unfettered by mind-made chains ... he is so deeply connected with the essence of life and death ... so rooted in the 'real' reality of being alive ... WOW ... such a powerful beauty of being ... no anger or bitterness or despair or hatred ... no illusion ... just an amazing sense of purity of his own kind of 'being' ... 🤔 there are some powerful life lessons there. His last words to Arisu are, to me, profound and aspirational:"I hope you figure that out. How to live by your own rules. Your life is yours. Don't follow someone else's path ....So this is the end. I had a great life. I lived it without a single regret. And I know that I'm ready to die."At the end of this episode ... Kyuma's philosophy of life comes full circle ... surrounded by the 'products' of a ravenous consumer society ... so long lost in the savagery of its own mind-made delusions of 'value' and 'purpose' ... there is Kyuma standing on a pylon ... out in the open ... naked ... arms out wide ... face to the sky ... the most sublime look of peace and contentment on his beautiful face ... he is free ... unfettered ... pure ... WOW ...

Five Stars

Urassaya Sperbund has always been my number one favourite asian actress. Her stunning beauty and talent, the way her acting stays nuanced and natural. She can make me cry and laugh at the same time. To know that she would co-star as love-interest with Mario excited me since i always wanted to see them as praek & nangek in lakhorn and "Bad Romeo" was a dream come true to me. Glad that i picked it up, one of the best lakhorns in year 2022!The love,passion,pain,heartbreak...everything was handled with beauty and care. Knowing this lakhorn is based on Judith McNaught`s novel "Paradise" made me wanna pick this lakhorn up sooner and so glad i did. Such a beautiful lakhorn, with a well done love-story.I will re-watch it all over again...and again.
