I know many people are angry with Keishi for saying, “Even if I was gay, it wouldn’t be with Tojo-san,” but my heart honestly aches for him. Those words were cruel, but I cannot forget the situation he was in. He was cornered, forced to respond in an instant, and out of fear he chose to protect himself the only way he knew how. It was not right, but it was very human.
Maybe he was also trying to protect Tojo-san in that moment. What if Tojo-san himself was not ready to come out? They never even discussed it, and they are not officially a couple yet. Saying something quickly, even if harsh, might have felt like the safest choice in that situation for both of them.
In Asian culture, especially with strong family values and generational expectations, being in a same sex relationship comes with enormous pressure. It is not as simple as just being honest, like it might be in some Western cultures. Keishi is so young, ten years younger than Tojo-san, still trying to find his place in the world. His fear of rejection and shame is understandable, even if the way he handled it caused pain.
The fact that he later called to apologize, and the way he visited Tojo-san when he was sick and cared for him, shows that his feelings are real. If this is not love, then what is.
I feel deeply sorry for both Keishi and Tojo-san. What happened between them is heartbreaking, but it is also painfully real. Many people in real life go through the same struggle, torn between love and fear, truth and survival. All we can do is hope that together they find the strength to face it, because their love deserves that chance.
We’re already 11 episodes in, and the third couple suddenly drops this out of nowhere: “I had a dream you were with someone else. I don’t like it, and now I’m jealous, so I like you.” And then boom, they kiss. Like… seriously? What was even the point of that?
It feels rushed, forced, and completely disconnected from everything else that’s happening. Instead of building them up with any real story or depth, we get a dream confession and a kiss, while the main couple who should be carrying the show keeps getting pushed to the side.
The plot’s already messy, and tossing in unnecessary jealous scene just makes it worse. At this stage, it doesn’t add anything, it just eats up screentime. Honestly, wouldn’t it have been so much better if all that effort went into fleshing out the main relationship we’ve actually been invested in since episode one?
And with the finale next week, I can’t see how they’re going to wrap this all up in a way that feels satisfying. Right now, it just looks like a rushed patchwork ending waiting to happen.
Wow, the first two episodes were so good! Didn’t expect this Korean BL to pop up on iQIYI. I have a thing for tall guys, and the height difference between the two leads is insane. Does anyone know their real heights? SiYeol looks like a giant, around 190cm I’d guess, compared to AeJun, who seems closer to 170cm. Someone please confirm please thank you in advance 🥳
You’re violating MDL’s terms and conditions by swearing at me. If you can’t disagree without throwing insults, that says more about you than me. I’m blocking you because I don’t waste time on disrespectful people. I’d rather spend my time discussing the series like an adult than lowering myself to your level.
Stop pretending you’re the spoiler police. Just because the show hasn’t ended doesn’t magically make your comment “safe” or mine “wrong.” I described a moment that already happened, using my own thoughts and feelings. That is not spoiling the future plot. You acting like it is is straight-up ridiculous.
By your logic, every single comment about a show is a spoiler. That’s insane. And don’t even try the moral high ground after admitting you assumed my gender. You’re not in any position to lecture anyone.
Here’s the reality: a spoiler only exists if you can’t handle it. If you can’t handle someone talking about something that already aired, watch the episode first before scrolling through comments. No one owes you a spoiler-free bubble and stop policing people for sharing their reactions.
Who are you to tell me what to do? I described the kiss using my own reaction, not some detailed spoiler. By your logic, you should’ve spoiler-tagged your own comment that says “omggg nooo i feel so bad for the best friend for once in my life i want the main character to end up with the best friend bro.” That literally tells everyone they don’t end up together. So it’s okay when you spoil, but when I share my thoughts suddenly it’s a problem? That’s hypocritical.
Here’s some helpful advice: if you can’t handle me describing the scene with my own thoughts and adjectives, watch the episode first before scrolling through. No one forced you here.
And don’t ever call me “girl.” If you don’t know my gender, check my profile, and making assumptions like that is flat-out disrespectful.
A kiss? That’s the spoiler? Btw… every BL has one, it’s like acting shocked that water is wet. If we spoiler-tagged that, the entire comment section would be blacked out.
We’re here to talk about the show, not swap weather updates. Every word in my comment was me sharing how I felt watching that scene, no spoilers, just feelings. If that counts as a spoiler, then breathing must be too.
When it comes to showing off their stunning male actors’ butts, nobody does it better than Be On Cloud. From KinnPorsche to 4 Minutes and now Shine… truly the masters of cheeks on screen 🍑😂
WOW 28 episodes… if GMMTV sticks to their usual one-episode-per-week schedule, this won’t finish until around March 9, 2026. Six and a half months from now, lol. I thought Perfect 10 Liners dragging on for 24 episodes was already long, but apparently GMMTV said, “hold my beer.” Not complaining though, because I loved Perfect 10 Liners, and at least here we’re getting two BL stories out of seven.
So just to confirm: there are 7 stories with 4 episodes each, which makes a total of 28 episodes. The first story, MuTeLuv: “Hi” by My Luck, is a BL, and the remaining 6 are not BL, correct?
I used Google translate your comment “It hurts my heart to see what JunXi is going through with his internship”I…
I get where you’re coming from, and yes, you’re lucky you can switch around more easily. But it’s not just about bullying during an internship. If this were a full-time worker instead of an intern, changing jobs, even in Nordic countries, is not as simple as changing clothes. When you talk about complaining to a teacher or person in charge, that sounds more like school work experience than an actual internship. That is not how internships work in many countries, which means you are in a very fortunate position.
I’m from Australia, and here it is already difficult just to secure an internship. When you do, it usually lasts only a few months, and your performance often determines whether you will be offered a real job. You cannot simply ask a teacher or mentor to swap placements, you have to go out and secure the internship yourself.
And this is coming from a country with one of the highest minimum wages and strongest workplace protections in the world. If it is still challenging here, imagine how much harder it is in places like Taiwan.
I also understand Junxi’s silence because I lived it myself. I studied hard for five years, landed an internship at a major bank, and was bullied by my supervisor. I stayed silence because I desperately wanted the job. I had worked too hard to throw it away, and I was young and naive at the time. So no, it is not as simple as just speaking up or just switching.
Lun xi ca me fait mal au cœur par rapport à son stage 🥺
I used Google translate your comment “It hurts my heart to see what JunXi is going through with his internship”
I totally understand where you’re coming from, but sadly this is the reality of the working world. There will always be workplace bullying, harassment from bosses, long hours, and unfair treatment. It’s tough, but it happens all the time, and you have to be strong to get through it.
On the positive side, JunXi is lucky compared to many others. He has his best friend supporting him, his boyfriend Tuo always by his side, and whenever he feels down, he can just hold Tuo close like he did in this episode. On top of that, he has loving parents waiting for him at home. Yes, he’s being bullied during his internship, but with all that love and support surrounding him, he’s in a much better place than many people who face similar struggles alone.
From Parents’ Blessing to Moving In Together: Episode 7 Delivered Everything 10/10 It made me laugh seeing Wen Sen give Tuo advice about not being too clingy to JunXi, especially knowing this is the same actor who once played a character in HIStory 4 trying to force himself on his stepbrother. Completely unrelated, but the irony made me smile.
Episode 7, however, was pure magic. The way JunXi’s parents embraced Tuo as though he were already part of the family truly touched me. It was so heartwarming to watch them treat him like their own son, giving their blessing to the love between JunXi and Tuo. Both kisses were beautiful in their own way, but the moment JunXi took the lead and initiated the kiss himself was something special. It showed how much he has grown, how much trust and love he has for Tuo.
HanTuo continues to be the most caring partner. The fact that he worried about JunXi missing his parents after moving out shows how deeply he thinks about JunXi’s happiness, not just his own. And now that they have moved in together, it feels like the start of a whole new chapter. My heart is so full for them. Hopefully, children will be in their future too, because they already feel like a family.
From the beginning, I had a feeling this series would be exactly my type, and I was right. I love fastpaced stories that don’t drag, and this one has delivered beautifully in every episode.
And to those saying Tuo might cheat, absolutely not. There is no way he would ever hurt JunXi. He is completely devoted, completely in love, and utterly obsessed with his precious JunXi. Their bond is unshakable, and this episode only proved it even more.
That kiss in episode 5… it didn’t just feel romantic, it felt like the kind of moment you carry with you long after the screen goes dark.
Why it hits so hard 💔 The slow burn made every second ache, like time itself was holding its breath. The music wasn’t just background, it felt like it was written for their hearts alone. The tears weren’t just theirs, they became ours too. The lighting wrapped it all in this fragile glow, as if the world wanted to protect them.
What it says about them Jimmy and Sea aren’t just acting, they’re showing us what it means when love is tender, patient, and raw. They’ve become the purest green flag pairing I’ve seen this year, the kind of duo that reminds you how rare true connection really is.

Wow, your comment feels really harsh, and I can see your frustration, but I hope you don’t give up just yet. There are still 9 more episodes to go, and sometimes a series needs a little time to find its rhythm. I honestly hated the first two episodes of ThamePo, but I kept going, and it ended up being one of my favourite dramas of the year. Saying “fifty minutes you’ll never get back” really made me pause. There are shows out there far worse, and while your feelings are valid, please try to imagine all the effort poured into this series. The actors, directors, staff, crew, and editors gave their heart and soul to bring it to life. Every scene, every edit, every performance is the result of countless hours of work. Slapping a 3 out of 10 on just the first episode feels a little unfair. Sometimes the story takes time to unfold, the characters take time to grow, and the emotional moments sneak up on you when you least expect them. Maybe give it a few more episodes. You might be surprised by how much it can move you and how much you can appreciate the dedication behind it.
