Personal Thoughts:
After the second episode I became quite curious to see how such an obvious emotionally charged series would come out. I'd started watching it because I'm a big fan of Up, I didn't watch the trailer or any promotional material at the time. So after reading the comments moaning about the original plot in the book, I decided to read it.

It's one of the best pieces of Chinese literature I've read. I cried so much and all I wanted was a happy ending to a character whom fate had entangled btwn two very bad people. I say bad because nothing can really explain the rudimentary selfishness and wickedness that is Ming (thai version) and Tong (thai version). My heart would constrict reading how Joe (Thai version) had been deceived, humiliated, betrayed, then brought back to life to serve the very people that destroyed his previous life. The book was so intense that immediately I was done. I regretted reading it, while the series hadn't even set up a solid foundation yet, wondering if it would color my perception of the series which was taken from a very rich source material.

Story
I think the thai version is such a really good adaptation that as it didn't follow the book too closely and was able to successfully stand well on its own.
I enjoyed the pacing of the series, as the storyline flowed nicely and it was easy to forget that I already knew the plot from the book. Of course it had its flaws with a slow start, as it still looked like the main leads were still awkwardly trying to adjust to their characters and each other.

Acting/Cast
I didn't know Poom/ Joe before. Now I wish I did. He has such beautiful expressive eyes and those THIGHS when he squats in shorts??! My Goodness. LAWD. He is blessed with such good looks and from what I've seen on his socials. He's really charming and goofy. Beautiful eyes, gorgeous smile. I hope he becomes very successful.

Up/Ming definitely surprised me. I didn't expect him to quite sell this mentally unhinged character that had a back fetish with such a careless flare for not caring about anything that wasn't his needs. He looks were on par, literally took my breath away. His scenes of being possessive and quite antagonistic towards Sol were comedy gold especially that fight in the hallway, as well as watching him want to devour Joe's back like it was his last meal on earth.
He was just funny

Sol/Porsche
He's really pretty, the red hair fits him but I really wished he'd have gotten more scenes to sell the tension btwn all three. I also couldn't remember why he also wanted Joe for Joe and not bcuz he hates Ming.

Joe's mom
I really liked her. She's so calming and I actually felt that this is why Joe came back. To feel the warmth and love of a parent that supported you no matter what

Tong.
I definitely despised him. But I was lowkey looking forward to how he constantly dodged trouble and bullets. That man is devious and I was impressed. S/o to the actor

Ming's Brother Mike/Intouch
Still grumpy I see since Mek left you and ran back to Taiwan. (My engineer reference)

Rewatch Value
I'll definitely recommend. It had a slow start but a strong finish. Gorgeous cast, great video quality. The warm tones of the camera filter. Beautiful locations and good chemistry

Final thoughts
Growing up is definitely understanding that life is in shades of gray. Relationships especially dealing with loves and intimacy are subjects that have long been discussed, theorised and hypothesized, if that's a real word?
History, Legends, myths, literature and pop culture have shown us various tragic love stories that have transcended since the dawn of humanity. It just too convolutional to begin to explain. Can anyone really try?

Joe loves Ming. Joe had been abused by Ming, and hated him as is his right. But He also missed him and kept going back to him because he still loved him, in spite of numerous warnings for his own good. Its not for us to judge or be outraged but to accept that Joe is the one in charge of his destiny now. He has chosen to take control of his life and he chose Ming. Kalas

So in summary, the heart wants what it wants.
