Letting go of one’s anger

Like most people here, I watched it first for Earth and Mix, they are just incredible together. And even though it is not the typical BL, it is worth to watch. Yes, like most dramas/lakorns, there are massive plot holes but still, it will make you angry, frustrated but also happy.
I read many comments about this lakorn before watching it, I felt like it wasn’t worth it, but it actually was.
At first, I felt really frustrated because of the way Win acted, he is completely and utterly hotheaded, to the point where it is impossible to understand him (at first). But as I kept watching, he felt so hurt (Mix has such expressive eyes) and I felt for him. He is the most ‘normal’ protagonist I saw since a long time… He is angry, moody… because it is his way of coping. And of course, it is frustrating, but it is also human… When I look back at his situation, with all the misunderstandings that comes with it, I completely understand where he comes from. Moreover, this story is not a typical BL, it is not just a story about two persons falling in love, it is a story about letting go of one’s anger. It is a quest and each meeting with the monks are meaningful !
So people are angry about the body swap, and I think that it was not really necessary. If they didn’t swap, Win could have still done this journey with Korn to save Lin, but for the sake of the story we needed MISUNDERSTANDING. Still, I don’t think that it was done badly. From the first five minutes we knew that they love each other, and this journey is NOT THEIR BEGINNING, it is just a way for them to get back together. Sincerely, they have always been together, the just couldn’t confess (but the did act as a couple). They couldn’t confess and the body swap was to fix this conflict.
Give this a chance!
I think that there was some plotholes:
- I really disliked Lin character… I hoped that she would just grow a backbone. And I was angry that Win treated her like that at the beginning…
- The conflict with the mother, felt, for me, unresolved… I mean, she did quite a twisted thing, and they just hug and it is better?
- Sooo much misunderstanding, but I guess we can’t have series without it…
- I’m happy that win only stayed 1 week in his sister body, because I felt like he would have ruined her life otherwise (poor lin, she is sweet and he is CRAZY).
PS : Korn is just sooo perfect, I love him, I love that he was willing to wait for his love because he knew that Win will come back eventually !
PS2 : The show should have been called ‘Win eating show’ because really, it was !
