The chemistry is CHEMISTRYING, I had high hopes for JossGawin (especially Gawin cuz he's one of my favs) and they have been SERVING. Curious to see how the plot unfolds cuz I'm getting bad vibes from Thara. Something tells me Nakan isn't the bad guy cuz why would he have let Tong go if he was? Tho I might be slightly biased cuz I love Mond 😅

Also love love the bromance between Tonkla and Tong. Where can I find my own Tonkla 🥲

Hard agree cuz why else would Nakan have let Tong go? Like I genuinely don't think he wants to hurt Tong

Dang this part was even harder to watch than in the anime. Poor Akin, he didn't do anything wrong but he's in a such a confused a horrible head-space right now that he doesn't even know how to properly express what happened to Jin. Jin's reaction is totally understandable but it really just adds to the hurt Akin is going through right now. I know things get resolved in the next episode but this part still hurts my heart a bit 💔

Exactly! Also your profile pic is everything 😂 Love the Untamed reference too

There's a lot of comments trashing Tong's character and saying he's making the worst decisions and has no self-preservation but like... that's kind of the point??? This kid was raised incredibly sheltered and while he was told to he careful and what not he wasn't taught to fear people or even how to properly interact with them. In other words, the extent of his social skills are interacting with a bunch of little kids and Tonkla who has even less survival instinct than Tong does

So while I understand the criticisms about his character, I'd say given his upbringing his characterization is pretty accurate. He's naive because he's never had the chance to learn anything else. This is a very different character to see Gawin portray but at least in my opinion, he's doing a pretty stellar job

the first 4 words took me out 😂

Having watched Dakaichi years ago (still one of my favorite bl series) this is one of the best live-action adaptations I've seen! Absolutely loved Smart in Don't Say No and Boom is a perfect match for him. Especially impressed with Boom's interpretation of Takato's character since he's pretty complex and he's doing it flawlessly

Couldn't imagine a better pair to portray Chunta and Takato ❤️

This bl is raising the bar fr, the pacing is perfect and every single episode has been a masterpiece

Everyone's acting in this episode is absolutely top tier my goodness

For Dunk you can see the sadness in his eyes thinking it was his last night with Fadel while trying to make him happy (man has fallen HARD)

For First you can literally tell when he's pretending to be in love with Bison vs when he's actually being affected by his feelings for him just by looking at his freaking eyes (bar scene giving Only Friends flashbacks for anyone else?)

For Khao I absolutely love how you see the slow realization that Kant betrayed him being a mix of both grief and hatred, he's in so much pain

Finally Joong for me was the star of this episode. You could see the love in his eyes before he even confessed and the tears after finding out Style lied to him were absolutely heartbreaking

Firstkhao is delivering as expected and Joongdunk has really stepped it up with this one. Obsessed ❤️

not the salt 😅

Right??? As far as I can see the initial response is really positive, and for good reason

Loving how we're getting to see Style put down the facade a bit and be more serious. So far him and Fadel feel more real than Kant and Bison (tho both couples are problematic)

Also love how Kant and Bison put their problems aside to punch a pedophile 😂

We're getting so close to the true coming out and I can't wait to see how much of mess it'll be. Kant better be scared for his life cuz Bison wasn't playing around this episode

The acting is so natural I absolutely love it. Wish this show had more recognition cuz it's honestly already one of the best bl's out there as far as making you believe you're watching real people instead of actors playing characters (in my opinion). Also love that we got to see Haruki's pov, his actions make a lot more sense now

I was NOT prepared for the last scene

Holyyyyyyyy I've rarely seen tension and chemistry of that caliber in a bl. Their acting was dang convincing, you can feel how in love the characters are. Also love how naturally they fell for each other, very subtle but easy to see

Completely agree, the story had so much potential and on a base level was pretty good it just needed to be better written. A better script and more depth to it. If they had filled the plot holes and fleshed out the half formed ideas that were presented it would have been a 10/10

Right? The first episode was really good then it kinda plot wise then it just kinda kept getting worse

freaking gumball machine lookin plastic

Fr! I've always really liked Dunk and his acting has improved a lot since Star in My Mind. I was super impressed with him in Summer Night and so far he's doing a really good job as Style

I am LIVING for Joongdunk getting a more mature not university based role (don't get me wrong I love SIMM but it's time to move on)

FirstKhao roles always intrigue me and luckily this time is no different. Absolutely love the vibes and all the boys be looking so good! Especially Joong but what else is new lol
