When Destiny Brings the Demon Episode 1

The male lead's acting and the female lead's character caught me off guard. What a unique and refreshing story, definitely different from many I watched.

Playset9656 It’s a rollercoaster of tropes: cheesy pink vow, villains doing blood rituals, ML’s exploding armor → shirtless slow-mo → drowning in blood → reborn with tattoos → falling off a cliff that appeared out of nowhere. 🤯FL is a “mighty general” with the voice of a 12-year-old pacifist, while the ML spends his time toggling between ripped monster man at night and cute amnesiac child by day.Nice cinematography, lots of muscles, zero logic. Rating: 4.5/10 — half a point per muscle group, because that’s about all that held the episode together.

Multilicus This show seems to be going from bad to worse. Started watching it hoping to see a BL, and - so far (after 3 episodes) - I see it's almost entirely a mystery/horror show. Nothing against it, but it's not what I wanted to watch nor what was advertised. Furthermore, we got strong hints (more than hints actually) that the supposed main couple (Peem and Khem) won't be based on present day same-sex attraction - it'll be some sort of continuation of an opposite-sex relationship from the past, which was interrupted by WWII, with both partners reincarnated as males. This sounds like stuff from shows produced 5-10 years ago, when it was standard practice to deny the characters are gay (remember lines like "I'm not into men, it's just you"?); they were always straight, falling for their childhood friends with whom they had a strong emotional bond etc. etc. Everything but gay. Reincarnated from female to male, but still in love with the same person as in previous life - sounds exactly the same. As for the supporting/side couple: by ep. 3 they started talking to each other - that's all; at this rate they'll become a thing in the last scene of the last episode. Also: tonaly this show became a mess. Ep. 1 was mostly consistent in this regard, being rather dark, even somber, sad and scary. Ep. 2 started to change that, adding more lighthearted elements; by ep. 3 we have serious and scary next to goofy and silly. Like I said: a mess.

When Destiny Brings the Demon Episode 1

Episode 1 served me Darth Vader ML, duck-walk FL, and background music that belongs in a bargain-bin 70s flick. The CGI was bad, the dialogue worse, and the “romantic” slow-mo was paired with blood splatter. My friends may be enjoying this chaos, but for me it’s pure train wreck energy — enough to drop it right here at episode 1.

The pacing of this episode, plot mixed with fluff, the absolutely insane chemistry of JimmySea, and a balance between lighthearted and serious; all of these things made this episode absolutely joyful to watch. Truly the best episode yet for me, and I am thoroughly looking forward to next week!

Jinwoo This series begins with a book-based transmigration (well actually, time-travel to the past) that feels a lot like Fushigi Yuugi, but it still manages to be charming and easy to follow.The food scenes are gorgeous and genuinely mouthwatering—had me wishing I could taste them. It’s clear cooking will play a big role, and I’m excited to see how it ties into the characters’ journeys.We’ve got hints of palace intrigue and power struggles ahead, just like other period dramas. I’m curious to see if this show will add fresh twists or keep things familiar.Overall, it’s a promising start, and I’m eager to see where it goes next.

shriek Uuuh this is my favourite episode so far. I really enjoy Thap as character; while he has a somewhat selfish goal he manages to be graceful to everyone involved. The acting is great by everyone. Since there wasn’t shown much about Tara‘s case in the last 2 episodes, that storyline felt a little disrupting. But just a little bit. I will probably rewatch this episode a bunch of times.

Despite the large amount of action that happened in the episode, it didn't feel too busy or too rushed.

The second episode was a little slower than the first in terms of development of events, but we got a glimpse into the lives of the main characters, their past and present.

Mizuhira-san First 'kiss' on the second episode~ X3 Dunno whether it's due to the 'blood curse' or not, but we are seeing a clingy puppy-like ML every now and then~ XD The stunts and action scenes are so well done! ML's movements are beast-like, staying true to his transformed character. FL is swift and agile, while not the powerful type. She's more of a long-range fighter, an archer. So far, I'm loving this~

OMG!! It started out with a BANG!! Both main leads are so badass! And Ryan Chen's action scenes are so awesome! Our FL's presence does not diminish in comparison~ She's proven herself to be the female general that she is. I'm already so excited from the first episode! (●♡∀♡)💓✨

Boys over Flowers Episode 9

ONE OF MY FAVORITE EPISODES!!! SPOILERS AHEAD!!!who doesn't love family drama??? like cmonn that’s literally the most interesting plot right there (apart from the enemies to lovers and two love interest lore) .The Jandi’s family is so funny and seeing Gupyo being there was just the cherry on top. It warmed my heart to see Gupyo bonding with Jandi’s family <3And of course we can’t forget that GUPYO AND JANDI FINALLY KISSED!!!

LadyWolf Each episode is getting better and better. I can't get enough! The details they put into this flashbacks of the 1930's, 40's is just great, the acting is on par and the story keeps you glued, wanting to know more and more... Though I don't see the horror so far, Suspense I'll give it that, maybe later on it will be there more, I'll find out as I watch. Can't wait till next episode!!
