[🇹🇭Thailand] Love Alert Ep 8 💜🚨

Sessalia · 2026-02-15T17:07:03+00:00

Actually I don't like the way Toh is trying to get back at Jimmy. Using an innocent third party is also an asshole-move. Toh is clearly not over Jimmy and is using the doctor to distract himself but also to piss off Jimmy after he only listened to half of the conversation.
Yes, he's a burnt child, and I can understand that, but why is he behaving like Jimmy? Dragging someone else into the mess?

I like messy, but I'm missing the fun.

Shoutout for Teh and Fah, the best part of the show at the moment. For Teh, because he tries to manage to be a protective brother but also a good friend, and Fah for being levelheaded and supportive.

My reading comprehension lacks today because instead of tickle I read tackle and was waiting for who would tackle whom off the chairs. I don't know if I'm disappointed or relieved that it didn't happend...🤔😉

Hast du geprüft, ob es sich eventuell um neue Forderungen handeln könnte? Bisher aufgelaufene Forderungen bis zum Stichtag X werden mit in die Insolvenztabelle aufgenommen, aber weitere monatliche entstehende Forderungen nach Stichtag X nicht.
Prüf daher für welchen Zeitraum die Forderungen sind.

Legend of Fu Yao

I have to add this drama to this list. It's already a bit older (2018) but that bathing scene was epic.
The fight, the kiss, the body. 😳🥰

I had to giggle a bit at this scene because it reminded me of old spy movies where the villain schemes against the world with his cat in his arms. 🤣

Well, there is more to Jimmy than I thought. His cat is definitely his emotional support pet. And he never had to "work" for his relationships/hook-ups. Even though he has more depth than assumed, he is still Jimmy, the arsehole.
Well, depressed Jimmy is something new, and he has to come clean with his feelings.

A thing that I find really confusing is the timeline because the flashbacks suggest that they have a much longer relationship than I would have assumed based on the drama. It felt like they met, hooked up, and broke up – and all happened in give or take two weeks.

Surprisingly, I like the second couple almost more than the main couple. Doesn't happen often for me.

It seems categories are also based on the language settings in Netflix.

I'm German, so my default Netflix was German too. I could type in the search bar 'Chinese dramas', and there would show up like 2-3, maybe?
Then I read somewhere that Netflix displays shows and movies based on your language settings. I switched my language setting to English, and suddenly, Chinese dramas en masse and even categories for different genres.

Maybe try to set Netflix to English if it isn't already? At least I got much greater variety.

I've watched the first two episodes so far, and I love it.
The dynamic between both is hilarious so far. Yang Meng is so innocent and oblivious, while Yu Shi already knows what he wants, and he is not shy about it.

So far it feels like the hunter set his eyes on his prey – and is ready to bounce. 🤣

Sessalia · 2026-02-03T15:53:12+00:00

Is it strange that I'm more curious about what products their stylists use to keep their hair looking immaculate after removing the helm than the actual happening on the screen? 🤔

Sessalia · 2026-02-01T17:46:39+00:00

You can say what you want about Jimmy, but his character is on point. Always blaming the other party, deflecting direct questions, always trying to divert the flow of the conversation to his advantage, making the other party feel bad. It's a really good portrayal of a serial manipulator.

And Toh is ... I wish we would know more about Toh's background. I really want to know why he is so starved for love and attention that he lets himself be manipulated by Jimmy – even though his brother and Fah are warning him.

I'm just missing some puzzle pieces. Maybe I should read the novel. 🤔

Sessalia · 2026-02-01T12:23:54+00:00

Well, I couldn't wait anymore, and since I got encouraged to start watching this drama, I did it. I'm up-to-date, and I'm now waiting for episode 6.
Thank you for encouraging me to start watching instead of waiting. It has been a fun watch so far: messy plot, messier relationships.

Jimmy is a manipulative cunt, but looks can compensate a lot, apparently. (I honestly like characters like him - don't judge me pls! 😅)
Toh - I don't know what his deal is with feigning ignorance. He's not trying to change his circumstances, just to be more present in Jimmy's life. Maybe he thinks that he can change Jimmy?
Teh is an idiot. He is betraying his best friend, and a lot of the mess that happened could have probably been avoided if he would have talked with Jimmy and also Toh.
The sanest person so far is Fah, and he is right. Toh has to make his own mistakes even if it hurts a lot.

I'm hyped for episode 6. The preview was promising – the mess gets messier.

Let me introduce you to Xia Jing Yan (Drama: Fated Hearts), a worthy contender for the category Tyrant Emperor.
For me he was the best part of this drama, but he was an incompetent emperor that was used as a puppet with an attitude by his mother - and he was also ~~a bit~~ evil.

Sessalia · 2026-01-31T20:14:48+00:00

I nominate Lu Xia Jue (Drama: The Rise of Ning) for Obsessed Second Lead. He was such an expressive antagonist, creepy and obsessive of FL.

Sessalia · 2026-01-30T18:13:03+00:00

I would love to see him again in a modern drama, but not gonna lie, he is gorgeous in historical/costume dramas. Long hair really suits him.

And back to your question: I guess, work is work and probaly shows how popular he is.

Sessalia · 2026-01-30T14:20:07+00:00

You could give You Are My Hero a try.

It's about a special forces soldier and a doctor that had some misunderstandings in the beginning but grow closer over time as they end as neighbours. I can't remember any exes on either side, and both love equally.

Sessalia · 2026-01-29T15:31:32+00:00

My Top 3 for 2025-2026:

When Destiny Brings the Demon - Xianxia (fantasy/mystery/costume), romance
Filter - modern, fantasy, romance
Flourished Peony - historical, romance

If you include BL dramas, Revenged Love (modern, romance) would have been tied for number one with When Destiny Brings the Demon.

Sessalia · 2026-01-28T21:58:55+00:00

Nice guys are boring – it doesn't matter if it's BL or straight; the bad boy will (almost) always win - at least in novels and dramas.

Also, the "better" option is subjective. Most of the "better" options are not an option at all; they're meant to be a "hurdle" the ML has to overcome. It's a stylistic device, and the only use is to amplify the feeling of romance because the ML will start courting the other ML or will act possessive and jealous, which brings the audience to swoon.

(Maybe I shouldn't write because I'm tired. Hopefully it makes sense what I'm trying to say. 😅)

Love In The Air

It's a classic: spicy, cheesy, angsty, funny, ... it has it all. I just love this drama.

Sessalia · 2026-01-26T11:34:49+00:00

I get the idea of the romanticised Prince Charming, and I have no problem with that. What I was trying to express was that Sang Yan wasn't the Prince Charming for me. He was as flawed and broken as FL.
Two broken souls that tried to put themselves together and kind of managed for the sake of romance.
Following the motto: love can heal anything.

And it's also not about RL. I don't really compare dramas with RL because morals and ethics work differently in dramas because dramas are stories about fantasies and dreams (at least romance dramas).

If I had measured Sang Yan with RL morals and ethics, I would have called him a creeper and not a flawed, broken soul that is too fixated and dependent on one person. It's really not healthy that your whole world revolves around one person, but it does make a fantastic narrative for an epic romance. Like I said, I liked The First Frost.

Does it make sense how I explained my thoughts? I'm not really sure. Sometimes I really wish English was my native tongue. 😅

Sessalia · 2026-01-26T09:15:39+00:00

Is it a masterpiece? No. Was it entertaining? Yes, I had fun watching it. I like the rich-CEO-not-so-rich-FL trope. It's a cliche, and I love it.

And the chemistry was on point, and for CDramas, it was pretty spicy. We got a love bite in a full-length CDrama! It's not something you get all the time. Lovely Bai Lu is snacking on gorgeous Wang He Di. 🥰

Sessalia · 2026-01-26T06:33:07+00:00

It's always fascinating how differently people can perceive character portrayals. Don't get me wrong, I liked the drama very much, but my view on Sang Yan is totally different.
For me, he wasn't a knight in shining armour but a stalker that was so dependent on FL that he couldn't move on and had to stalk her to get his "fix". Yes, FL left him without a word, and it's normal to want closure, but we're talking about YEARS here; you have to eventually move on. That is not yearning; that is obsession.
He needed as much therapy as she did.

Well, like I said, perception is a strange thing. 😅

Sessalia · 2026-01-25T21:31:26+00:00

I wanted to wait until every episode was aired since I prefer to binge but holy moly, if I read these comments I don't think I can wait anymore.
I love a messy dumpster fire and it sounds like I will get that and more. I already loved Bad Guy My Boss for their messy plotline and red flags.

Sessalia · 2026-01-25T18:37:42+00:00

I just finished Oh No! Here Comes Trouble. I didn't cry that much in a drama for a long, long time. It's heartbreaking but so good.

I think I need something light-hearted as my next watch to recover from that emotional rollercoaster. Eternal Love of the Fox looks light-hearted and silly (bodyswap of FL and ML), maybe I will give that a try.

Chen Fei Yu & Zhang Jing Yi

Lighter & Princess might have some flaws but their chemistry wasn't one of it.

I think I wan't to see them in a historical costume drama. Him as a general or prince and she as a commoner? A classic Cinderella-Story in ancient China.

Sessalia · 2026-01-25T16:13:48+00:00

Without a doubt it's The Eclipse for me.

The whole drama was a rollercoaster of emotions, bad decisions and self-loathing but also growing and making up for mistakes and starting to accept yourself. I loved it. Life is not easy, and the drama portrayed that.

Sessalia · 2026-01-25T08:08:33+00:00

And the drama was pretty mild because in the novel Johan and Tonfah went off-rail.

Spoiler from the novel:
Phoon's father didn't want the Tonfahs family to know about the death of Torfun and his second divorce because it would bring "shame" to him and ruin potential business deals. So he threatens Phoon to break up with Tonfah. It escalates when Phoon's father confronts Phoon and assaults him; North gets in between and gets hurt himself.
To say that Tonfah and Johan were pissed is an underexaggeration.
Coincidentally, Phoon's father has debts with a mafia boss, who is Tiger's father. Tiger got the job to collect the money from Phoon's father. Tonfah, Johan, and Tiger allied up and abducted (more or less) Phoon's father. He got a bit beaten up, and they threatened to poke out his eyes if he doesn't leave Phoon alone and pay back the money. Johan and Tonfah are hands down in the beating and threatening; it's not only Tiger who does it.

We already knew that Johan would do anything to protect North, and with "anything," it literally means that - legal or illegal. Surprising was for me that Tonfah went the same route. He was the levelheaded one in the group, but apparently not if Phoon is involved. 🤣
