Downhill fast

This started out as a pretty decent story. I actually was interested in it before it started airing.

Since the 3rd episode to now the 6th it has drastically gone downhill. Too many long flashbacks that just set in stone that Him wasnt great to Blue. He so far didn't abuse him physically but ghosted him and basically set him aside when ever anything stressful came up. However Blue is very clingy and co dependant on Him.

Nail is confusing me cause he's heard on numerous occasions that he looks like Blue but when he actually sees a picture then he ignores Him? Like you should be going to find out whats going on.

The whole thing about where Blue is currently is getting old. Either say he died or he is actually somewhere other than "out west" especially since it seems Te is acting like he died.

Speaking of which, dont get me started on Te. That man is a red flag who needs to take a long walk off a short pier.

Overall the slowness of the episodes and the fact that I dont learn anything new and havent in at least 2 episodes is making me see drop the series until its finished. I'm no longer getting my hopes up to look forward to this show any longer.

What in the LSD trip did i just watch

It started off pretty solid. I immediately felt the chemistry between the actors was on par especially F4s friendship. Daoming Si is portrayed as a bad boy but not was entertaining. I laughed when they said they were polite to females when in fact they really werent. Huaze lei was pretty rude to well. Everyone. Daoming si literally threw a cake in a girls face, on top of force kissing, insulting, pushing and other things to shancai. Ximen was a literal playboy. Dropping women quick after leading them on. Disregarding peoples feelings when he acknowledged he led them on etc. The only half gentleman was Meizou but i kind of got stalker vibes from him.

The plot started off hilarious. The face kick scene then following mummy scene still makes me giggle. The roses was very romantic and made me jealous no ones ever given me 520 roses but i feel that would probably be extremely expensive and a waste of money if im being honest. The show did drag on in the middle. We could have did without the whole cooking show part since it didnt even matter to DS's mom since she didnt come in first and lets be honest, even if she did it probably wouldnt have mattered.

I feel a lot of the misunderstandings could have been avoided with communication. Why is this a recurring theme in dramas? Lack of communication causing unnecessary problems. Like i get it, if you didnt have the argument or what ever the plot wouldnt move forward but its so reliant on the lack of communication aspect i feel a better show could be produced if we didnt have that whole thing going on.

The whole parent breaking up relationship issue is probably cultural to me. Also not born in that class to understand so while it annoys me, i probably just dont understand enough to go into it.

Music choice. Could have had a few options other than the one sad song (say something). The other sings used were nice but say something im giving up on you was just overplayed to the point of annoyance when it started to play.

I liked the relationship between shancai and the housekeeper (her name is lost to me at the moment) and how the housekeeper had the kids wellbeing in mind more than mom did. I just wanted to lock mom in a room and torture her for all eternity but thats cause she was a b who meddled too much.

London was a mess.. who would forgive people who stole your phone and a very important item from your love? Like seriously. An apology and shes perfectly fine? We got food and booze? Alls well!? No. Not even close. Plus her money / cards. Etc. I dont know what she brought money wise but logic dictates you dont bring cash to a foreign country and only have cash. Plus she was smart enough to hide her passport, she would /should have been smart enough to hide some spare money or cards. Ive been to other countries, went to the pitpocket capital of the world in 2017 (barcelona spain) and i took precautions and did research on the country i was going to prior to going. So maybe this just falls on a dumb and niave female lead, but her friends had been in other countries so you would think they would warn her. Maybe im just putting too much logic into this.

The kidnapping island thing was cute and i appreciated their attempt however having a backpack with a fishing rod and water? Lol. Also why did they just abandon the two of them but everyone else had tents food etc? Did the friend want them to suffer? What if they didnt search for anything? Why was someone sneaking around taking pictures? What happened to those photos? So much undisclosed info. Survival instinct would have me looking for a fresh water source almost immediately. Then shelter. Also if you didnt know, in most instances wildlife cant climb. So if you are ever in an instance where you are stuck in the woods or on an island. Climb a freaking tree to sleep. Find vines or build a temporary platform out of branches but get off the ground. If you cant, and you have fire starter or know how to start a fire build a massive fire. It will keep predators away. Keep that baby well stocked. Water is #1 priortity though. You can live a while without food but as stated above not so long without water.

Then there is the ending.... im still not 100% certain i didnt take some hallucinogen or something that made me dream of that ending. Lets gloss over the fact most humans cant live without water for more than average 3 days. On top of that you cant physically stand for that many days without collapsing. I think the world record of standing was like under 40 hours and thats super dangerous because blood will pool in your feet and can cause blood clots etc. Im still not sure if they just glossed over the whole food and water strike of ds and sc and thats why mom slept for 7 days and maybe the dr they had visit mom took care of the kids or the kids died and it was their crazed brains happy ending before nothingness. But lets say that happened. Did mom pee the bed, get ivs, have compression socks etc during that time? Am i putting too much logic into things because again. Cant live usually more than 3 days without water... and if they have ivs your kidneys and intestines still function in that time.... lets move on.. then the whole walk into someone and pass out thing after the prank of ds getting married to someone else and moving to london prank. Just to get her in a wedding dress (strong as hell drugs apparently) and then the dance scene?!!?!? Let alone inviting people to the weddind that made no sense. Thomas? Uhg.

Overall i loved the show mostly for wang hedi but it had its flaws. I had to google an ending and read tons of peoples take on it and im still not 100% sure about it. This was the first show ive ever had to google an ending for.

A good drama to watch

I loved this show. The actors were amazing, it made me follow their other work as well.

Ayan/khaotung is so spunky. I just love his attitude. Hes adorable. I love his teasing of Akk even though he knew he was up to no good he still was interested in the boy. He still protected him and took care of him. He was so sure in what he wanted. It was refreshing to see.

Akk/first - while he had pretty much the same expression the entire series (mix of a stattled bunny or deer in the headlights) he nailed the roll. Akk was doing what he thought would help the school. It wasnt right and he deserved to be punished. People could have seriously gotten hurt, but in his mind he did what he thought was right. I dont agree with him but im also not in the situation where i chose to go to a school that required rules like that.

The only thing i had a problem with was the faxt that in foreign countries Thailand inclided you get to pick where you enroll in high school. So why did the 3 boys (i forget their names) choose to enroll in a school that had rules that went against their beliefs other than to start issues? If you dont like the rules or strictness of a place then dont go. I mean the whole drama could have been avoided in the first place if they didnt enroll in a school they were morally against.

Other than that. Acting was pretty solid. Neo / khanlong has improved so much in the shows hes been in. If course we hinestlt coukd say that about all of the boys to be honest.

I know this show wasnt perfect and there are things that could have been corrected etc but it still holds a special place in my heart.
