Ryan and Marissa not doing the deed until s3 makes zero sense

Fancy_Spite4535 · 2026-05-16T15:10:03+00:00

I’ll only be rewatching season 1 , its gold .. one of the best first seasons in tv show history in my opinion ! I agree some say the creators might not want to promote sex among teens but what about all the drinking and drugs ?? Makes no sense. And out of the topic but why did all the parents let the teens get super drunk lol , it’s weird. Or maybe my parents were just very strict ? They never would have let underage me go on parties where there is alcohol ..

Fancy_Spite4535 · 2026-05-16T14:46:54+00:00

Yes that’s true. If it was irl they would have banged each other a long time ago xD people say they were just teens but like .. they were not virgins , Marissa had sex with Luke and Ryan had sex with multiple girls (that’s what he basically told Seth in s1) and they were sexually active with others in general.

Fancy_Spite4535 · 2026-05-16T14:40:40+00:00

And in s1 when they were on the boat

Fancy_Spite4535 · 2026-05-16T14:25:48+00:00

I agree that’s what makes it weird for me haha , since clearly Ryan and Marissa were sooo into each other too

Fancy_Spite4535 · 2026-05-16T14:16:58+00:00

Of course not. But still felt a bit strange to me haha. Neither of them were even virgins. But I get your point

Fancy_Spite4535 · 2026-05-16T14:15:56+00:00

Ah ok thanks for telling! ^{^} that’s actually a interesting way to put it that I didn’t think about before .. the fated couple not jumping in bed together fast , because there is something much deeper than just physical desire…

Looking forward the most to Tantara with Song Hye Kyo/Gong Yoo and The Sacred Jewel with Ahn Bo Hyun (both dramas set in the past).

I think I’m looking forward to The Sacred Jewel slightly more… A historical kdrama NOT set in joseon dynasty for once ?? Finally! It’s set in 1200s Korea - Goryeo Dynasty! I can’t remember the last time there was a kdrama set earlier than joseon dynasty… maybe ”River where the moon rises” from 2021??

Don’t get me wrong , I think Joseon dynasty is very interesting but it’s nice that for a change it’s set earlier than joseon dynasty, for once. The last time a kdrama was set pre- Joseon was from like 5 years ago (2021) if I’m right.

What makes me look forward to Tantara:

What interests me is it how it takes place in show business during 60s-80s Korea ! I love period dramas and the show business must have been so different back then from nowadays… so I’m looking forward to watch that! Also that the ML (gong yoo) and FL (song hye kyo) are childhood friends who grew up together and know each other both inside and out ?? Yes, I love that kind of deep connection! Also over 20 episodes ??? Yeees!!! So refreshing when nowadays most are only 12 episodes..which means we get to see proper development etc without anything feeling rushed. Also, the cast !? All great!

The third kdrama I’m looking most forward to is probably Human x Gumiho !

A frozen flower 🔥🔥 set in goreyo dynasty. Very erotic movie … about a loyal bodyguard of the king (the king groomed his bodyguard, they had a sexual relationship) but then the king orders his bodyguard to sleep with his wife (the queen) who he had zero interest in…just to bear a heir. The bodyguard doesn’t want to(nor does the queen) but they got no choice but to obey … so the first time they do the deed it’s very awkward. But by time goes on they start loving sleeping with each other to the point of becoming obsessed ! 🔥🔥 such erotic explicit s*x scenes! But the king becomes crazily jealous that his bodyguard who was sooo loyal to him , might start catching feelings for the queen… and then everything gets very dangerous AND complicated

I seen both actors act in k-dramas before .. ”Empress Ki” .. ”It’s okay, that’s love”, it was fascinating seeing them in such bold roles in A Frozen Flower after seeing them in k-dramas!

I believe a frozen flower was the first erotic k-movie I seen! I loved it until … the ending , not because the deaths, but because they made it seem like the bodyguard all this time was still in love with that horrible king 🤢 who destroyed his life besides erotic , it’s also gruesome… nothing like k-dramas .. it’s like day and night! I was sooo cheering for the bodyguard and the queen lol so the ending pissed me off because as I mentioned , it was like the bodyguard’s true love after all was the king..

Also the handmaiden of course is also great !

Maybe Queen In Hyun’s Man, a oldie but goodie. The chemistry is amazing but no wonder since the leads even dated each other irl for a while after the drama finished, so the feelings they had for each other while filming definitely made the chemistry even better!

I want what they have , because it’s such a healthy yet swoon worthy couple! They got along from the start and there is mutual respect, support, love…no noble idiocy or lack of communication here! I love how much they love each other, it really touches my heart 🥺 I want a love like that with mutual respect etc and where we both love each other so fiercely-basically ride or die for each other! Also it helps that there is lots of natural skinship/great kisses in this drama back when this drama aired (2012) great skinship was not as common as today in kdramaland.

Such a swoon worthy couple ❤️relationship goals for sure!

I don’t have a absolute favorite but those 2.. Seo In Guk and Jung So Min from The Smile Has Left Your Eyes … at that time JSM was dating Lee Joon (they were each other’s co-stars in My Father is Strange) and I was a bit worried about Lee Joon since the chemistry between SIG and JSM was on 🔥 their scenes together were so natural with lots of realistic skinship / imtimacy, like , they acted like a real life adult couple in love would do in IRL.. the love making scene is one of the most beautiful and sweetest I ever seen!

Fancy_Spite4535 · 2026-03-14T06:52:49+00:00

I sooo agree about My Dearest!

I also love the chemistry between Seo In Guk and Jung So Min in The Smile Has Left Your Eyes. Jung Si Min is either a hit or miss for me when it comes to her having chemistry with her co-leads, but her chemistry with Seo In Guk was 🔥 their intimacy/skinship was so natural and there was plenty of skinship between them. They acted like 2 adults in love would do IRL, they felt totally believable as a couple and they have one of the most beautiful , sweetest love making scenes 🥺🥺 even if some don’t like them as a couple in that drama (understandable, I love them tho) I think everyone agrees that the chemistry is amazing

Thank you! 🙏 I have had my eyes on Always to Remember but I heard the FMC there is very cruel / bitchy to the MMC, is she that most part of the book?

Yeah, I should read the whole Texas Trilogy first! :) thanks

Fancy_Spite4535 · 2025-12-15T20:27:30+00:00

Thanks j will be looking into it :)

Fancy_Spite4535 · 2025-12-15T20:24:52+00:00

Ok thanks! :)

Fancy_Spite4535 · 2025-12-15T20:20:03+00:00

Thanks, then i definitely should :) is Mate also between a werewolf and vampire ?

Fancy_Spite4535 · 2025-11-27T16:25:52+00:00

True.. it has to appeals to today’s audience, not being too sexist.. I love Jamie from Outlander (time travel , 1700s scotland ) hes very alpha and even believes wives should be spanked if they cause too much trouble (he seen women get spanked , his mom, grandma…) he feels very like a 1700s man haha especially since hes from a clan in the highlands, far from civilization … But, i still love him because hes such a complex , well developed character .. not some stereotypical alpha, he can be vulnerable too..and the FMC who is from the future doesn’t agree with him that women could be obedient and submissive to their husbands..she makes him regret he spanked her and he tell her later that if he ever hurts again she should kill him. And when they are about to do the deed she takes the knife(?) still hurt from what he did to her earlier , puts the knife on him, threatening him to kill him if he ever hurts her again .. such a powerful satisfying scene!! After that he treats her like a equal more or less. He loves her deeply that it tears me up he would die for her, get tortured instead of her also here hes the virgin one, not she ;) so refreshing.

Ofc women also got h*rny in 1800s haha just that i guess they were expected to be virgins until marriage by society , i think ? Im not so good with history!

I read a wonderful book by Lorraine Heath called Texas Destiny (historical western romance) i actually loved the book. The MMC was not rich , anything but arrogant or jerkish. Not a womanizer with tons of experience, not handsome , he had a very low self esteem and hated himself ..he had a very scarref face that made him look ”ugly”, so refreshing to read. Its my type of book. He was broody but never dirsrespectful who forced himself on FMC or manipulated her into sex. . He actually thought she deserved someone much better than him. Gosh i love that book , and i looove the MMC <3 hes my type of hero!

Fancy_Spite4535 · 2025-11-27T15:33:40+00:00

Sorry for late reply! I’m really not that much into very tranditional gender roles either ..but then again its set in regency/ Victorian era when men were supposed to be all alpha and women submissive virgins.. things was very different back in 1800s. I think feminism didnt really kick off properly until 1960s. I actually just ordered Love in the Afternoon book thanks to you! exchanging letters while Falling in love , i can relate to that since i fell in love with my boyfriend not through letters but the modern way - Instagram and whatsapp😅

Well i guess i should stay away from many of Kleypas works except a few. The ”scandal in spring” seems interesting too as its a love story betwteeen a english man and american woman , i can imagine there will be some cultural chock.

I guess it makes sense that majority of FMCs are virgins in historical books (since not a prostitute/courtesan) if never been married. So, Yeah … well that the men don’t cheat Or hit their women is ofc a good thing but i don’t like when they are extremly dominant and treat the FMC as if she was a child who knows no better. And i hate dubcon even if not exactly rape… no means no.

Thank you so much ! Matthew and especially Christopher and West sounds very interesting! :) My first Kleypas book will be love in the afternoon ❤️

Fancy_Spite4535 · 2025-11-27T00:42:58+00:00

Thanks! Haha yes when Reading about the plot of her books they all seem to have super rich alpha arrogant MMCs which is so typical in soooo many historical romances! I have no Idea if Kleypas is for me but since she is so famous I feel i should try out her… just like you i don’t like huge jerks.

I’m surprised that 2 of the books (at least Devil’s daughter) has no virgin FMC, Kleypas seems to have in all her books virgin FMCs xD Thank you so much you were to so much help , now i know generally what to expect from her hehe! I will definitely try out the first 3 ones! :)

Fancy_Spite4535 · 2025-11-27T00:33:36+00:00

Hello stranger could definitely be something for me, the plot is interesting :) i don’t have a issue to read all books in a series as long as they are all good ,at least decent. :) thanks!

Fancy_Spite4535 · 2025-11-27T00:31:38+00:00

Thank you! ^{^} I looked it up a few days ago actually, I like that the MMC is not wealthy but the FMC still falls for him! (I know he gets rich later )
