Love is not supposed to be this toxic.

The show has too many red flags. The writing is really bad. People were hating on the bad guys when in truth as you watched this show, the only people that keeps the storyline flowing were the antagonists. Sure, there was an episode(s) of sweet moments between Namcha and Irin but that ends up overshadowed because of how Irin treats Namcha, and when it comes to those moments, nothing frigging happens afterward. I feel like they were just going around in circles. Irin, despite being older wasn't acting mature for her age. She's indecisive and could not make up her mind. I find it amusing that in the first episode, she fired an employee just because she didn't like the scent she smelled which showcased a real Karen-like behavior. I know some women were hard to please in real life and difficult to understand, but strong, educated and highly successful women like how they portray Irin to be shouldn't be like that. Namcha's ain't cute (the actor Win is though lols, I love him). He stalks her, follows her around, and gaslights everyone because of his love for her. I get it, unconditional love, sure. But that unconditional love will be your downfall if you don't keep it in check. Besides, I don't find any redeemable quality in Irin that will make me give her unconditional love like how Namcha does. The sister needs psychiatric help. She has suicidal thoughts and she's volatile at best. Irin should've seen that instead of trying to just protect her. You're supposed to be the smart one here and she looks up to you. The characters have flaws, I'm cool with that. But how did you end up bringing all four innately bad characters with so many negative personalities together and expect this to be resolved? I would've preferred if the story started with Namcha meeting Irin in the present and slowly discovering and knowing her as the story progressed than them having a past, age gap, and all, then trying to make the story interesting by injecting drama after drama that doesn't seem to get fixed. Anyway, I still encourage people to watch this and give it a go. Some people like it. Some people don't. Just a word of warning, it has lots of gaslighting, manipulation, and toxicity. I only love Win so I stayed. I hope he gets a better project than this next time.

Not the same as in the book

I guess it's alright. The last two episodes are quite disappointing and they also stray away from the novel. I preferred they stick to the novel and just some bits not a lot! There were so many romantic moments in the novel that they didn't include in this series. In the novel, Tine's personality was explained but in the series, he just looks like a stupid, childish fool when there's so much more to him than meets the eye and the reason why Sarawat became very interested in him. I also didn't like how Pam's character changed in this series, making it look like she was a helpless girl trying to chase a love that was already lost. In the novel, she wasn't like that at all. She was supportive of Sarawat's relationship with Tine and she was an ally. I don't understand why in BL, they always do this to girls. The majority of the people watching BLs are girls BTW. So hello! We can be allies! Anyway, it's a series that gives lots of feels, and there were some funny moments as well. But if you read the novel before watching this, well, you'll be a bit disappointed. It's also too short in my opinion and some of the scenes were rushed. The OST is great though.
