Oh! My Sunshine Night (2022)

Não perdôo quem estragou essa série que tinha tudo para ser perfeita

Não desgosto da série, mas também não está entre minhas preferidas. Espero que não seja o último trabalho de Ohm e Fluke, pois amo esse ship, mesmo vendo Fluke e Judo atuando tão bem em Make a wish...

Qual a problemática dessa série? A enrolação! Estenderam a série por infindáveis 18 eps, quando em muitos deles não aconteceram nada de relevante... deixaram tudo para se resolver no final e nem foi lá essas coisas, já que o público estava saturado. Nesses 18 eps, não se aprofundaram na doença de Sun, que diabos de doença cardíaca é essa, que se cura com maçã ao invés de remédios? O casal secundário claramente teve mais química, mais destaque e mais cenas empolgantes, enquanto o principal não saiu do marasmo até o final. Eu sei que a ideia de um personagem taciturno como Kim parecia interessante, mas as plantinhas sem cor, os infindáveis mergulhos, a falta de socialização, nada disso foi explicado. Até mesmo saber que ele era o amigo de Sun na infância não explicou quase nada sobre a personalidade dele. Sobre Sun, começamos e terminamos sem saber nada, e Rain e Phayu acabaram levando a série nas costas.

No aspecto técnico, as atuações foram boas, o que não era bom era o roteiro e a direção. Existia investimento, bons atores, boa ost, boa cenografia, filmografia e fotografia. O que faltou foi um bom capitão para esse navio...

Enfim, não pretendo rever a série, mas não deixo de indicá-la... não posso deixar de pensar como ela tinha tudo pra ser umas das melhores do ano, e acabou sendo um fiasco.

So bad it's good? No. Just plain awful.

Well, that happened.

You know how a lot of BLs have eight episodes-worth of story stretched out to 12 and have 4 totally unnecessary characters that just chew up time? Well, this series has 4 epsiodes of story stretching into 18 with 40 totally unnecessary characters that just chew up time.

So again we have Fluke Natouch paired with a talking mannequin that makes him cry a lot. That's OK, though, because we have the sublimely handsome Peterpan Thasapon and Noh Phouluang, who I had thought was dull because he was in Nitiman, but he's actually really sexy and appealing, and together they make one of the better BL couples I've seen in a while.

So naturally, they're separated for literally half the series and their story is resolved offscreen. This is so frustrating that it's hard to express how much, especially as I had to wade though 9 episodes of utterly static story hoping to get more Rain and Payoo - but nope. They did manage to introduce an entirely new couple in episode 17, but no Rain & Payoo. There are 5 secondary couples. Only one of them gets together.

Nothing in this makes sense. All the characters' lives are perpetually in danger, accentuated with truly OTT music cues, and since you know nothing bad can ever happen to anyone, even if they jump out of an exploding helicopter from 50 meters in the air (this happens), there are no stakes. Ohm's character's brain is bleeding for 9 episodes, and instead of hospitalizing him and having bodyguards protect him, he's dumped in the middle of nowhere for three months to engage in archery and equestrian sports. Is it a good idea to race horses when your brain is bleeding? I don't know - I'm not an expert, but intuitively it feels like a bad idea. Fluke will die unless he eats apples. You know this because whenever he goes without one for too long, he melodramatically clutches his heart and keels over. Or at least that's what I think causes it. He's an uke, so it could be sunlight, or walking, or maybe he didn't dry his hair thoroughly enough.

Speaking of which, we reach a new low this series when an uke manages to cut himself with a butter knife. I'm waiting for one of them to accidentally garotte himself while trying to floss.

Whoever wrote this series doesn't know anything about music, despite it being about musicians. They couldn't even be bothered to get a real cellist - it's all synthesized, and sounds like a casio keyboard from the 1980s.

I think we've gotten to the point in Thai BL where we need some self-examination. Are we really so desperate that we're willing to be exploited like this by productions that aren't even trying anymore? This story is infantile. I'm not exaggerating, it feels like it was written by a 12-year old (no offense to 12-year olds - I realize most of you could have written a better story than this). It's so boring, repetitive, poorly thought-out, overstuffed with characters and endless melodrama that it's just tiring.

Story: 1 - There is one, sort of.
Acting: 5 - This is generous. Peterpan and Noh have a certain presence in the first half. Fluke cries a lot, and Ohm is there. Everyone else is passable and the villainess (the villain of the story is hidden. It's a big mystery. Who could it be?) would be twirling her mustache if she could. She almost literally shouted "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those pesky kids!!!"
Music: 1 - it's awful. Oppressively schmalzy, with overblown dramatic cues, MY brain was bleeding by the end listening to that synthesized cello.
Rewatch value: 3 - There are a lot of hot guys in this, so there are individual scraps I'd watch again.
Overall: 3 - probaby generous, but the first half did have a "so bad it's good" vibe. Then it just got bad.

The script needed a red apple

Honestly for me, the only (and most) enjoyable part of this series was ragging on it in the comments with the other fans/prisoners of this show.

Like I think they had pieces there to make a good series for me. But it just didn't happen. I'm totally fine with slow burn and build up and tension building, but this series was ridiculous. It was so repetitive but also literally nothing happened. A lot of cryptic comments and stares and standoffs. It was an ugly love dodecagon of people pining over people who were obviously uninterested in them because the liked someone else.

Then at some point, we get one of the most one dimensional villains ever who was campy and almost fun but for the low ceiling of this series. Her motivations were non-existent. Her plans were kill her way to the top and then rule with an iron fist, except she had 3 goons who couldn't find 2 people living in pretty much the most obvious place to search for them.

This series was just.... a mess.

Peterpan and Noh were stealing the show but then the "plot" came for them and they separated and this slow af series got even slower. I really want to see them in another show.

The fencers were frustrating as they both were chasing each other sorta, and other people sorta, and one was so mean for no well defined reason to the other one. Then they end up banging outside a house party.

Sun and his MANY cardiac events and red apples and fainting and grimacing. Like dude.
Also at some point, I swear, they gave Kim psychic powers or something like that. Like literally? Maybe? It was very unclear. But it seemed like he had powers. Maybe that's why his brain was bleeding and he was losing memories later.

I don't know.

I still think Snow White was behind it all. That would have honestly made this series make sense.

Please Peterpan take another role in a different series.
Kan too.

Oh my... Not som much logic... but light?

To be able to watch this drama you are going to have to discard any hint of logic... and by that I mean you may just want to think of this as a fantasy drama as there is more or less nothing that makes any sense at all.. be it human relations, pace, medically... you name it the logic is just not there.

The pace of this drama varies to slow, very slow, fast as ***, to so slow you do not understand how they are going to be able to wrap this up in just a few episodes to slooow with fast peaks... I guess it is i form of interval training in a drama... Having relationships go from I hate you, I love this other dude, in more or less 10-15 episodes (give or take) to we are never ever gonna be together, to now I shall kiss you... to naked in less than 60 seconds with little variation for most of the couples.. there is also a hint of Who are you, do I know you and get the *** away.. to kiss, to naked, to get the f*** away again... Entertaining at times, draggy at times... Highly inconsistent and a bit of an anti climax I guess...

That said there are a lot of fun icicle moments, behind the scenes helping, complete lack of communication skills and some secretly romantic moments. Some of those are really sweet and good. There are also a bunch of shower scenes... lots and lots of shower scens... And pretty views. Some highly predictable evil and action. Some less predictable twists here and there . A lot of apples... so many apples that it should come with a warning eating to many apples can damage your health so do not try this at home, If you are experiencing problems with you heart please go see a doctor...

I am not going to say that this was good, nor so bad it was good bu tit was okay... nothing I would highly recommend but nothing I regret watching either. What I do regret was starting this a few weeks before it finished airing as most of the characters were not memorable enough for me to remember who some of them were once I got back to watching the last episodes. So if you do watch it do not let too much time pass between the episodes.

I tried making something with emojis... but only a few work I see some people like emojis so here are some hearts to all of those who watch this brains, I know you need them:

Worthwhile? Mmm, no.

Tbh, i never understood why people ship ohm and fluke. I never got anything from them... In UWMA they didn't have anything and they are so freaking mismatched. Ive watched the series for WinTeam. And lets be honest, UWMA had a good story... Unlike this one. So its not the same old "oh, they're good but the plot didn't help". No!
Back to this one... I started to watch it after i saw some short videos with payoo and rain. They kept the series afloat even though someone decided to just shun them somewhere in the nowhere for a number of episodes. I just binge watched 5 episodes or so to finish it already because i just do not like to leave things unfinished but my god, how i struggled. Fluke is crying, Ohm is a walking mannequin and the story sucks. There, i said and I'm not even sorry.
Just no. I didn't like it and i think OhmFluke are too overrated.
Watch at your own risk!

Bof... Quelques moments sympas, mais très dispensable

Il faut vraiment que je me décide une fois pour toutes à regarder des séries d'une seule traite après la sortie de tous les épisodes, parce que ce drama est l'exemple parfait qu'attendre une semaine pour découvrir la suite d'une histoire pas très passionnante à la base, génère une réelle baisse de motivation et d'implication. Parce que oui, ce drama n'est pas super folichon, ça commence plutôt bien avec une intrigue universitaire qui ne vole certes pas très haut mais plutôt mignonne et qui se suit sans déplaisir, pour basculer vers quelque chose de plus orienté "thriller" avec un peu de suspense et (très peu) d'action. En soi ce n'est pas spécialement gênant mais ce n'est pas super bien agencé, et on a des moments très longs et très chiants où il ne se passe pas grand-chose, ce qui attise l'impatience de l'audience. Mais il ne faut pas pousser non plus, on a déjà vu bien pire et je ne suis pas d'accord avec toute cette partie des critiques sur le forum qui, dès lors que l'un ou l'autre a commencé à se plaindre de la stupidité du scénario (depuis quand les BL sont censés être des chefs-d'œuvre de philosophie ?), se sont mis à cracher sur le drama comme une meute de hyènes incapables de faire la part des choses. Alors là, c'était open bar, et après avoir bien descendu le scénario et la tournure un peu différente vers le milieu, c'était au tour du nombre d'épisodes qui ont été rajoutés par la production (16 épisodes étaient prévus, pour finalement se trouver au nombre de 18 à la dernière minute). J'ignore ce qui a engendré ces changements et je comprends qu'on puisse être impatient d'arriver à la fin quand on s'ennuie, mais bon, si on veut vraiment être objectif, cette série a bien sûr de nombreux défauts, mais aussi quelques moments sympas et des qualités qui rehaussent un peu le niveau.

Car bien que plutôt mal fichue en ce qui concerne les rebondissements amenés après l'épisode 10, il faut reconnaître que cette nouvelle orientation plus policière apporte une certaine nouveauté à une intrigue universitaire qui avait tout pour être des plus classiques. Une volonté de se diversifier certes maladroite, qui tente sans doute de surfer sur la vague des nouveaux BL tels que Manner of Death de façon plutôt bancale, mais hé ! si c'est tiré d'un bouquin et qu'ils l'ont adapté tel quel parce qu'ils ne pouvaient pas l'amputer d'une partie importante de l'intrigue, on ne va pas leur jeter la pierre non plus, et au moins ça a le mérite de nous changer un peu des BL vus et revus.

Autre avantage que j'ai trouvé à cette histoire : certains acteurs m'ont agréablement surprise. Celui qui incarne Rain, par exemple, est diablement plus sexy et intéressant que dans le très médiocre "Nitiman" où il était loin d'être au top. Cela m'a d'ailleurs apporté une constatation toute bête, à savoir que maintenant que les BL commencent à être plus nombreux et variés depuis leur démarrage tâtonnant, bénéficiant désormais de quelques années de recul, nous avons l'occasion de suivre l'évolution de certains acteurs très nuls ou sans aucun charisme à leurs débuts, mais qui gagnent en maturité et en sobriété au fur et à mesure qu'ils prennent de l'expérience et surtout de l'âge. Celui qui incarne son love interest, Phayu, est quant à lui bien mimi. Bon perso je l'ai trouvé assez ahuri et coincé durant tout le drama, son jeu manque sérieusement de variations, mais vu qu'il a bien plu à pas mal de monde, j'imagine qu'il se verra offrir sans soucis de bonnes occasions de progresser au niveau de ses expressions faciales.

Pour continuer sur le sujet des points positifs, aucun des couples n'a présenté de moments ou de comportements problématiques. Et d'ailleurs, nous avons droit à trois romances ainsi que deux "couples en phase de formation" si je puis le dire ainsi, alors oui ces deux dernières histoires sortent un peu de nulle part dans les 2 derniers épisodes, mais au moins les deux amoureux transis ne resteront pas longtemps laissés pour compte, et le nombre de romances me fait dire qu'on a pas complètement perdu son temps. D'autant que les couples se forment à des moments différents, permettant de maintenir un peu d'intérêt pour cette histoire globalement assez barbante.

Alors concernant les romances, justement, je dois avouer qu'à partir de l'épisode 10 je me suis complètement désintéressée des couples principaux. Celui formé par Kim et Sun, les deux héros, est vite devenue répétitif et m'a lassée au point que lorsqu'ils se sont embrassés pour de bon, j'étais bien tentée de faire avance rapide. C'est bien exécuté, mais ça arrive après des scènes plutôt ennuyeuses et gnangnan, du coup on n'en a plus rien à foutre. Je n'ai d'ailleurs aucun intérêt pour les histoires d'amour entre des personnages qui se sont connus dans leur enfance, les questions de destinée me laissant relativement indifférente, et ce point-là m'a presque faite ronfler tellement le cliché est éculé. Fluke (Sun) est pourtant à l'aise et naturel dans son jeu ce qui est assez rare dans les BL, et ça au moins c'est appréciable même s'il ne fait pas grand-chose d'autre qu'arborer un sourire tout mignon, pleurer ou se tenir le cœur parce qu'il est en train de faire une énième crise, quant à Ohm (Kim) il est fidèle à lui-même, un très joli robot-ténébreux (appréciez le jeu de mots) pas très expressif mais bon il reste charismatique et agréable à regarder. La romance formée entre Rain (le frère de Kim) et Phayu (le fils du fidèle domestique) m'a davantage faite vibrer, mais là encore elle m'a vite lassée, pour la simple et bonne raison qu'elle se concrétise dans l'épisode 10 et qu'après ça les deux persos ne partagent plus vraiment de scènes ensemble étant donné la tournure du scénario, de ce fait leurs retrouvailles ne m'ont fait ni chaud ni froid.

Par contre ce qui m'a fait tenir jusqu'à la fin, et je l'avoue sans honte, c'est la troisième romance formée par Pie et Petch. A la base j'aime énormément le trope "enemies to lovers", ou "rivalry to love" dans ce cas précis puisque les deux personnages sont censés être amis, même s'ils n'arrêtent pas de se friter et que ça dégénère sérieusement. Et quand on passe son temps à souffler d'impatience devant le couple principal en attendant juste les scènes d'un couple très secondaire, c'est que quelque part, il y a un problème. Quoi qu'il en soit j'ai adoré leur histoire, pas très originale pour les habitués mais je m'en fous tant que ça fait le job, et ça le fait même carrément. Il m'a quand même fallu revisionner toutes leurs scènes depuis le début pour comprendre leur dynamique, d'une part parce qu'elles sont peu nombreuses et on a même quelques épisodes où ils n'apparaissent pas du tout, d'autre part parce que l'acteur qui incarne Pie est assez catastrophique. Le cliché "enemies to lovers" nécessite une certaine subtilité pour que l'audience comprenne un minimum que derrière les disputes et la colère de façade, se cachent des sentiments plus complexes. Ce n'est pas forcément à la portée des débutants, et Pie ne s'en sort pas bien. Sans un nouveau visionnage, et mes tentatives (désespérées) d'interpréter leur dynamique au travers de dialogues pas toujours très clairs, je n'aurais pas capté grand-chose et même encore maintenant, il m'est difficile de déterminer avec certitude si Pie est vraiment amoureux de Kim mais qu'il commence à se sentir troublé par Petch, s'il croit aimer Kim parce qu'il refuse d'admettre ses sentiments pour Petch, ou s'il fait juste semblant pour le blesser et le pousser à révéler ses vrais sentiments. En revanche Petch est beaucoup plus facile à comprendre : d'accord il est assez impassible parce que c'est son personnage qui veut ça, mais ses yeux sont très expressifs et dès le début, l'amour douloureux qu'il éprouve secrètement pour Pie est évident pour les spectateurs. Je m'attendais à une résolution assez décevante de leur histoire, et là, Bam ! on a droit à une scène d'émotion bancale (je le répète, l'acteur incarnant Pie & ses dialogues sont à chier), mais qui a réussi à me serrer le cœur et à me surprendre justement parce que les sentiments de Petch, que ce dernier ne peut plus cacher, sont exprimés avec suffisamment de retenue et de justesse pour être crédibles. Il a l'air d'un petit animal blessé et j'ai franchement eu envie de le consoler et de le cajoler. Ou alors c'est juste un coup de cœur irrationnel de mon côté, je ne sais pas, mais personnellement j'ai trouvé cette scène très touchante et ça m'a fait oublier qu'elle était à moitié gâchée par Pie, celui-là étant aussi mal à l'aise dans les dialogues que dans sa façon d'embrasser (ce qui se voit hélas comme le nez au milieu de la figure). Bref, j'étais en train de m'endormir devant le drama quand ce moment précis m'a fait l'effet d'un électrochoc, ravivant d'un coup mon intérêt déclinant. Et là, je me suis dit que je devais absolument suivre l'acteur Kan Krittikorn, chose qui ne m'arrive jamais (quand j'aime bien un acteur, je suis juste contente de le revoir, ça ne veut pas dire que je vais suivre tout ce qu'il fait et puis j'ai passé l'âge de ces conneries), parce que même si son jeu n'est pas très varié, dans cette scène il parvient à être émouvant et je trouve qu'il a du potentiel. L'autre aussi, hein, il ne faut pas désespérer, et comme évoqué plus haut, avec le temps ce garçon acquerra peut-être cette subtilité qui lui manque. Quoi qu'il en soit c'était une jolie découverte, et j'espère sincèrement que Kan Krittikorn se verra offrir des rôles dans d'autres BL et des scènes plus conséquentes. Et pour finir sur ce couple, parce que je me rends compte que le paragraphe consacré à leur schmilblick est sacrément plus long que tout ceux portant sur les autres aspects du drama, leur romance qu'on décrirait pourtant comme jouée avec les pieds rattrape un peu tout le reste, et même si je suis très déçue qu'une fois passés à l'acte on ne voie pas leur relation se développer (il faut bien conclure le thriller dans les temps), elle est la seule raison pour laquelle j'ai donné une note aussi bienveillante.

En conclusion, c'est un BL tout à fait dispensable, absolument pas original, qui manque un peu d'âme et qui est limite chiant à certains moments. Le scénario a d'ailleurs de nombreuses lacunes, ou est parfois complètement absurde. La musique est trop répétitive, ils nous sortent la même mélodie à chaque moment un peu intense. Tout ça est finalement très paresseux. Les fans du couple OhmFluke en tireront peut-être une satisfaction, mais ils feraient mieux de revoir Until We Meet Again, où leurs personnages nous font davantage battre le cœur et bénéficient d'une intrigue qui tient mieux la route. Néanmoins, on a déjà vu des BL beaucoup plus crétins et toxiques que celui-là, et il ne faut pas oublier que si la diversification des BL nous donne désormais des attentes plus élevées, cette période de transition demande encore un peu de patience envers leurs qualités fluctuantes. Le changement de direction au milieu de l'histoire ne fonctionne pas très bien parce qu'il est bancal et génère des longueurs inutiles, mais en même temps il a le mérite d'exister et d'amorcer quelques différences par rapport aux dramas universitaires habituels. Plusieurs romances se concrétisent, et bien qu'elles restent légères et qu'on ait droit à une seule scène de bisous et d'intimité par couple, c'est plutôt appréciable. Certes ça ne vole pas très haut, mais ça reste très romantique dans son ensemble. Enfin, on a le plaisir de redécouvrir l'acteur incarnant Rain plus sexy que dans Nitiman, son alchimie est d'ailleurs plus intéressante avec le beau gosse qui interprète Phayu, en espérant les revoir dans d'autres dramas. Et surtout, last but not least, il y a mon petit chou Kan Krittikorn, mon coup de cœur dont la brève scène d'émotion justifie à elle-seule le plaisir coupable que j'ai eu à mater ce drama, et celui-là personne n'a le droit d'y toucher. Vous êtes prévenus.

Oh So Slow! Why extended to 20 episodes

I have just watched Episode 15 thinking it was the last one. I could not believe what I was watching when I realised that this was not the last episode - not least because we obviously weren't going to see the boat trip. This series could have been wound up easily in the originally advertised 15 episodes.

This is not the first time that this has happened recently. Clearly the producers are getting good sponsorship and/or advertising revenue and decided to lengthen the series. This is so unprofessional and really bad thinking. When this is over all that people will remember is the poor ending of this series when it had so much going for it.

This is the second casting of Fluke with Ohm and the dynamic between the two of them works really well. However they wind this series up will just dampen the feelings we had for their relationship. A final explosion of joy and romance will be split between the couples and end as a damp squib.

I was pleased to see the parents killed off - not least as these well known and 'experienced' older generation thai actors are really awful. This is not just bad directing, a good actor wouldn't be playing all those reaction shots so woodenly.

I despair.

PS
I now see that Ongart Singlumpong also was the producing director of Unforgotten Night. Another show that could have been great and just tailed away at the end. Although I did find that kidnapping and consequently showing coerced sexual activity (a kidnapped person cannot consent) is something I cant believe teenage girls would want to be treated! Somehow if you are gay your body becomes an object for other people's desires to be expended on.

I love it

The story was slow paced but one you get past the slow pace you will see that it's such an amazing drama with very good actors. I really love it and recommend it

I've liked OhmFluke since Until we meet again. Whenever they act together their chemistry is out of this world. Rain and Payoo did great as well even though they didn't have much screentime. I would have loved to see Kim and Sun relationship progress further but nonetheless it was still an amazing series

I really hope we will see more of Ohm and Fluke's work.

Those complaining about 18 episodes should take a rest. I wish it will go on and on forever ??? that's how much I liked it

It probably couldn't get worse that this!!

Okay, so let me start with Ohm and Fluke. I watched them in Until We Meet Again, then in Close Friends 1 and 2 and finally in 609 Bedtime Stories. And now my fifth drama. I am appalled at the amount of tears Fluke spills. How much can one single person cry over a span of 5 series! Unappealing to say the least and disappointing to say the worst. Why everyone feels they are they an awesome pair is beyond me.

Acting: Ohm really needs to work on getting rid of his wooden face. He is easy on the eye, But definitely not actor material, because he cannot act. In UMWA, it was ok, because his role as Dean and the story required him to be a bit aloof from others but melt for Pharm, but by this time, I am kind of fed up of this flood of disaster.
Let's talk about Fluke. He is seriously coming into his own. He has been an actor for long enough that his skills are being honed well. But I am wondering, isn't he bored of the depressing roles that he is doing? For once, I want to see him in something happy.
I am not going to talk about other characters because there were too many to keep track and I kind of lost their threads after a while. I would have like to see more of Rain and Payu, but honestly, I am still under the LITA fever so, no other Rain and Payu for me except Noeul and Boss. Couple of the kissing scenes were great between them. But okay, nothing to write home about. The villain was undeservedly and unnecessarily pathetic. No meat on her, like she was there for some comedy under veiled threats.

Story: There was one, I think. I don't know. I got lost in the insane amount of plots and sub-plots and sub-sub-plots. In some places, I felt like there was no continuation and the story just skipped parts. I was appalled also at the lack of scientific knowledge of the script writers. How the hell does eating an apple keep heart failure away? They took 'An apple a day, keeps the doctor away' idiom to the bloody next level. And how could possibly someone with a bleeding brain do sports? There was nothing appealing about this story at all.

Music: Sucked big time, in the sense that, there was nothing entertaining about it. It was regular, run off the mill music that was disappointingly cheesy and lacklustre. No words.

Rewatch value: Will I watch this series again? Not even if you threaten me with possible death. I had rather die than watch such crappy work. I will need a dose of a happier drama if I need to get my head out of this one.

Recommendation: If you are a glutton for punishment, go ahead, but at your own peril. Don't say I didn't warn you. Good luck. Otherwise, walk away. Best decision possible. Don't be fooled by instagram videos.

This is what a drama should be!

This drama was done in the style of the old Friday night American dramas from the '80s. It seemed to start off as a typical university BL, but better, because it dealt with a variety of people and their problems without taking away from the main leads. However, at times it did give us a break from the mains to focus on the side characters, which helped to round out the story. It built up to the grand finale with flashbacks intermixing with current events, helping the audience to understand what was motivating the characters.

I am flabbergasted at the low ratings for this drama, but I have to thank them. I waited to watch this drama because many people said it wasn't good. So when I got around to watching, I was able to binge the whole thing instead of waiting each week....which I would have done, had I started it when it was airing, because it's so good. But I might have been less excited for it if I had to wait for the weekly episodes, as some of them were slower than others. Still, I would have enjoyed it....

....because:
There was plot and plot progression ....and a whole-a** villain! There were love scenes and heartbreaks and symbolism and foreshadowing and sacrifice! There were guns and bows and horses and cellos! (at least one of each. LOL) There was a hero saving the (not so) damsel in distress.....there was conflict, revenge, and resolution. And the acting!!! The acting was phenomenal! Except for the villain. The villain was very....villain-esque. At some points, I almost expected the villain to cackle with witchy laughter and say, "I'll get you, my pretties!" LOL But, you know, it's....fine. There were enough other characters who did a good job to keep my rating at a 10.

I'll definitely be revisiting this drama. There was the real-world problem of everyone having a crush on everyone else and having to navigate through all the emotions to find someone to be happy with. Now that I know all the characters, I can rewatch their interactions with more interest.

Moral of the story is: Judge it for yourself. For me, it's a 10.
