Or maybe the character has been going through depression and grief and he's actually meant to look like he hasn't been to the gym or even showered for quite some time. I wonder if some of you even watch these dramas for the story they're trying to portray or just for the eye candy

You forgot to mention the stalking and constantly asking for validation then lighting up like a Christmas tree when he finally gets it. If someone can bring you out a 6 year long slump and grief and bring the fire and fight back into your soul, that's true love

Ruuuude

Neil asked him why he always looked so upset when he looks at him, that brought him out of the moment and reminded him that he has secretly liked Neil since he was a child and probably just realised that it was romantic since he literally just kissed him on impulse. All of that realisation and feelings was overwhelming so he needed to be alone to think it through. It makes a lot of sense when you understand the character, he's quite an introverted and thinking character, he doesn't find it easy to communicate and prefers to do so through music. When he said later on that he hasn't been able to write music and all he's thought about all day was Neil means a lot, his mind is trying to work through his feelings and emotions.

I doubt that very much. And let’s just stop shaming people for what they like or don’t like

Itt's and Day's relationship seems so awful..on the surface, just romanticed codependency and the only way they can demonstrate and test their love is through unbridled jealousy. Most of the characters are horrible people that just should not exist except in BL and dramas, the only saving grace is they're all trying to be better in their own little ways. All the background information that is revealed about the history of the characters and the main couple is sickening and a little depressing that they end up falling in love from such a history. On the surface , but then you dig deeper into the story towards the end and start to understand their codependency. Surprisingly this tragic combination of storytelling, writing, dialogue and silliness makes for a hilarious watch. Just don't take it too seriously , remember it's fiction and you'll have a good time.

Why are reviews always so bad on this website. I'm starting to believe it's the same people writing the reviews for every drama and they are just impossible to please

if you went by reviews on here you would miss some great hidden gems. This is very much nostalgic of the classic BLs but in mostly the good ways. The storytelling and writing isn't really all that special but it compensates with the chemistry and cuteness of the characters especially Nhai, he's so ditzy (I genuinely don't know how he's survived this long on the planet) but adorable and funny perhaps the only person that can put up with him is Ai which makes for a fun dynamic. Their interactions are really beautiful to watch as well as that of Ai's fathers, i love the unique take on queer fatherhood. The other side characters however i'm not really sure what they add and mostly seem like filler in terms of their interactions. I probably wouldn't rewatch but it makes for a very chill and fun one time watch

The acting is so great, I'm loving the chemistry and the slow build romance but with intense flirtatiousness. the story is a cool interesting one and i love seeing complex characters with shades of gray being explored.

He's very cute and squishy 😂

This show is becoming more and more like a wattpad and I'm here for it 😂

Minato hasn't really changed much since season 1 and confessing to Shin at the end of the season which is really frustrating to watch BUT I think the frustration comes from the lack of communication from Minato and the shows format of style which doesn't really address any of the issues at all even in season 1. As audience we're left just guessing what exactly is going on with these characters because they do not communicate their feelings to one another or to the audience.

Minato's restraint and reservation towards Shin is completely understandable when you think about the context of homophobia in society that makes it difficult for you to accept and embrace your feelings, the age gap between them , someone who is much younger in a hierarchical society who fell in love with you under extreme circumstances (you saved his life as a boy). And just being completely insecure and overwhelmed by someone's feelings for you (Shin is full on and so sure of his feelings but to minato he's still just a kid even a year later) I would be apprehensive and scared about crossing the physical boundary too.

But what should be communicated in one or a couple episodes and resolved is being
dragged out for an entire season again. It's clear we're dealing with emotionally immature adults here who have various issues with commitment, expressing their feelings and being confident in them but again because of the format of the show that wants to keep things light and cute none of these issues really ever get addressed.

Relatable comment

he's eighteen or nineteen by definition a teenager

The age gap between them is definitely an issue for Minato. Its also very clear he's never been in a relationship with a man and unlike Shin is finding it hard to dive into the physical aspect of the relationship and cross that boundary yet. Even if he's accepted his feelings for Shin, he still can't get over the age difference in his head

That wasn't the point at all, the point was that he doesn't know how to feel about the relationship which is justified. It's not immature to question how you've managed to get involved with the ex of the person you were in love with and have only just managed to get over infact it's very sensible and mature to take a moment to figure out if it's something still worth pursuing at that point
(have they both really let go of that past relationship) plus the whole conflict lasted all of one conversation it really wasn't that bad. It's also quiet realistic in the queer community which can be really small and can get messy

Look how fine he is, when he puts on the charm i doubt anyone could resist him

Yeah the ending hurt, I still haven't recovered 😭

Not even the main couple in MODC ?they were really cute together

You're right and I get what you're saying. I probably haven't seen yaoi enough to understand what the terms mean and what it fully means to you. I apologize if anything I said was dismissive of your feelings. And you're absolutely right BL is different from yaoi , and perhaps I've only watched so many of the really good BLs that make me put up with the bad ones as well.
