Fanfic, trailers and drama watching

ClaireBell

Oh, wow... Episode 3 was amazing. It also made me cry a lot.

More with major spoilers here.

Everything that happened with Pa’Porn was heartbreaking. I guessed that her son had been probably dead while watching the 2nd episode. But the whole backstory of someone killing him and Pa in retaliation running over that person with her car and ending up in jail broke me. I lost it when she started telling Claire in that frail, broken voice about her son. And then her death... I expected pain and heartbreak from this drama, and this episode brought a lot of it.

And with all that happening I really needed those few sweet moments between Claire and Bell. And their first kiss was lovely. Ok, it might be that Bell is doing it partially because she wants to have Claire’s protection. But she feels something, too already IMO. It’s not all just cold calculation on her part.

And wow, Kae is going to lose it after she’ll find out about Claire and Bell, isn’t she? And she will probably turn against Bell completely.

Typhoon Family

I’m a bit disappointed after last week episodes, because it is getting repetitive. But don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy it and there are enough good things to make up for that mild disappointment.

Spoilers here, too.

I’m getting tired with the whole cycle of “Tae Poong finds another opportunity to save his company, the villains (who are super boring BTW) do something to thwart him, at the last minute Tae Poong finds the solution and succeeds anyway”, rinse and repeat. The same formula repeated every two episodes. But all the relationships, romantic and non-romantic, are lovely and wonderful, and interesting. And here I’m very invested. So I will definitely watch it till the end. Also because of Junho, who is amazing here, seriously. I’m very impressed with him and with Kim Min Ha. They are both great.

I was also very impressed that Nam Mo stood up to his mother and defended his girlfriend so fiercely. I was sure they would do something like Mi Ho never saying anything to Nam Mo, and maybe even breaking up with him. Or when Nam Mo found out right away, I was sure that he wouldn’t do anything anyway. That he would never dare to criticize his mom, whom he loves so much. But he did. And I love him for that.

Me and Thee

I watched the 1st episode and it was fine, I guess. I did laugh a few times, but I think this one is not for me, unfortunately. I will give them an episode or two more, but only because I love Pond and Phuwin. And then we’ll see. I have too many new dramas on my to-watch list to watch something I’m feeling pretty meh about.


As for trailers I have only one to share right now – for Force and Book’s new BL drama Melody of Secrets. It starts airing on December 5 and I can’t wait.

As for fanfic – I finished editing my Yuletide fic, yay me. 😊 It’s already sent for beta-reading. I have an idea for one treat, but I need to do a bit of canon review first.

And I posted my second Mandate fic.

Ooh, Melody of Secrets looks RTMI because I really do prefer there to be more to the plot than just a romance and I love crime dramas/mysteries.

Thanks for posting about it! ♥

I'm so excited for this drama, because Force and Book are my first loves in Thai BL world. Let's just hope it will be good. And I will definitely write more about after it starts airing.

Woohoo, congratulations on finishing your Yuletide fic!! *\o/* *\o/* *\o/*

I know what you mean about Typhoon Family. (Also, the way she keeps saying not to bring his crush to work, and then he does anyway! Just, please stop doing that? You're the boss! /o\) (Also, also, if the annoying bad guy doesn't get arrested for attempted murder after this latest sabotage effort, I'm going to be super outraged. ;-p)

Exactly. I'm with you on this. He locked Mi Seon inside and set fire. It's clearly attempted murder. It would be so nice if they just put the villains in jail now, and dedicated the last four episodes to all this delightful relationship stuff. :)

Pa'Porn's story is so heartbreaking!

I'm so glad we got those moments between Claire and Bell! (I've seen people saying their kiss happened too soon, but between the length of the series and all the pain in this episode I think it makes sense to have it this early)

Yeah, I doubt Kae's going to take it well at all.

[maggie33]

I don't think it was too early for their kiss, either. Especially considering, as you've said, that they have only 8 episodes. I hope we'll get a few sweet scenes like that again in episode 4, because I'm already bracing myself for all the possible pain and heartbreak that the today's episode might bring. :)
