I agreed with you, the finale felt rushed,

But it is also unreleastic

I dropped my rating from a 10 to a 9 because the ending felt so emotionally disconnected. The real Apo died and completely vanished, yet his parents showed no grief at all. They knew their actual son was gone, but instead of breaking down or asking what happened, they smiled and welcomed someone else in his place.
If this were my son, I would be shattered. I would cry, I would demand answers, I would be overwhelmed with questions. Even though this is fiction, it still needs a sense of emotional truth. Losing a child is devastating, and the person standing there is not the son they raised.
That lack of sorrow made the ending feel hollow, and it took away what could have been a powerful and heartbreaking moment.

26 hours left until episode 9 and 28 hours until episode 10.
Heated Rivalry keeps my Fridays alive, and To My Shore carries me through the weekends.

There aren’t many good airing BLs right now, but these two are enough to keep me counting down the days.

Wow, I can’t believe how fast those two episodes went by. In just one hour it felt like I lived through another rollercoaster of emotions. This series just keeps delivering and now the reality is hitting me that the finale is already next week. The only downside is that we only get eight episodes. Imagine if we had the full sixteen like a typical K-drama, the story would have so much more room to breathe. I’m really not ready to say goodbye.

The actor who plays Ogami Seiji has such a cute smile. He’s big, tall and handsome. Just imagine coming home after a long day at work, seeing that smile as he hugs you, all your stress would disappear in an instant.

Shizuma really deserved better. Minato was the one who asked him to check on the cow in the first place, he’s a vet, that’s literally his job. So Minato getting jealous, running off to drink with his friends, and then giving zero explanation when Shizuma went looking for him… only to suddenly talk about breaking up? Make it make sense.

And honestly, I agree with so many comments here. This series started off with such a big bang, but the last few episodes have been painfully boring. The second couple has absolutely no chemistry, and somehow they’re already moving in together. It all feels rushed and flat.

Wow, one of the best Chinese dramas I have ever watched. Twenty five hours and I binged it in five days because it was that addictive. The visuals, the production, the acting and the OST are all flawless. The enemies to lovers storyline mixed with betrayal, plot twists and emotional flashbacks made every episode gripping.

Chen Zhe Yuan absolutely carried as the First Prince, and Li Qin was smart, strong and unforgettable. The fighting scenes were insane, the characters were layered and the attention to detail was on another level.

A masterpiece from start to finish.

If you’re referring to My Beautiful Man, both seasons total 10 episodes plus a 2-hour movie, so it’s much leaner than this series.

Not sure why you’re recommending illegal websites. This is FREE on YouTube, we should watch it there to support the actors. They work so hard, and every view counts. If we want more BL in the future, we need to support them the legal way.

haha I love your comment, thanks for being so honest.

Yes the other series is Mystique In The Mirror. I love these types of genre

I loved your headline “same old recycled GMMTV concept” and honestly I agree with you one hundred percent. Are you watching Me and Thee right now? I’d really love to hear your genuine thoughts on it. I like the show, but I really don’t think it deserves an 8.8, especially when it’s currently the highest-rated BL on MDL, even passing some incredible Japanese and top-tier Thai and Chinese BLs.
I made a comment about it and a whole group of PondPhuwin fans came at me. I get that they love the couple, but you’re meant to rate based on plot and acting, not on your favourite ship. That’s why I’d rather discuss it here with you instead of posting again and starting another fight with overly biased fans.
So what do you think, after 4 episodes Me and Thee really deserve an 8.8? This rating is now the highest rated GMMTV series and highest BL series at the movement.

The random singing and dancing scene instantly reminded me of my childhood movie High School Musical. It came out of nowhere, but it was funny and genuinely entertaining. And Pond’s voice was beautiful, he sang that song so well.

Thank you, just added on my Watch List

I agree with you and I also wanted to add this.
For anyone who felt lost after the first episode like I did, don’t give up or judge it too quickly. The confusion is intentional and meant to draw you deeper into the story. If everything were explained from the start, the mystery and tension that make this genre so addictive would disappear. With nine more episodes coming, the series is meant to keep you questioning and slightly uneasy, and that’s exactly what makes it so compelling.

The hospital scene between Jerome and Jinn was such a soft punch to the heart. They’re still so young, yet the way they look at each other and speak with that quiet maturity feels overwhelmingly tender. When Jinn said, “Promise me, if something happens to me one day, I’ll know you did your best, so don’t blame yourself,” it was the kind of line that settles deep. Sometimes a single sentence like that is all you need to feel safe, seen and held, even in the middle of fear.

And honestly, I completely understand the frustration from here and Youtube with Farm forgiving Van so quickly. Imagine liking someone for years, carrying all that hope, and then finally hearing them confess. Your heart is wide open, you feel like you’re finally getting the love you’ve waited for… and then suddenly they get drunk and almost kiss someone else. Even with all the apologies in the world, that moment still shatters something.

A pause can be healthy. Sometimes stepping back is the only way someone realises the weight of the person standing in front of them. You truly feel the value of someone when you risk losing them. If forgiveness comes too easily, the lesson doesn’t sink in, and history quietly finds a way to repeat itself.

Just like raising a child, when there are no real consequences, the lesson never lands. For love to grow stronger, sometimes it needs a period of loss to make both people realise what truly matters.

Thank you for this.

The only downside of this series is that it’s only 6 episodes. In the blink of an eye we’re already halfway through, and I need more.
