Watch both, they are both really good.

Absolutely agree with you! The pacing felt just right—clear and to the point. Dragging the misunderstanding all the way to episode 5 or 6 would've left barely any time for meaningful development between them. After 8 years apart, you'd expect real-life people to get to the heart of things right away—"Why did you leave me?" should be one of the first questions. I'm glad they didn’t stretch it out unnecessarily.

I’m really enjoying the first episode so far. Korean BL dramas consistently deliver high quality. I truly hope we’ll see a love triangle in this series, as it’s been quite a while since one appeared in a storyline.

I know I’m about six years late, but I just finished watching Episode 1 and I’m absolutely loving it so far. However, I’m a bit confused and would really appreciate some clarification before I continue to Episode 2.

From what I understand, the series often uses the same actors to portray characters who have been reincarnated. That makes sense narratively, but I’m a little confused by the opening scene of Until We Meet Again. At the beginning, Korn and In take their own lives because their father did not accept their romantic relationship. It was incredibly emotional—this is the first time I’ve cried so much within the first five minutes of a series, even without fully understanding the context.

In the present timeline, Pharm has flashbacks, but the character in those memories doesn’t appear to be him, but rather In. So, I’m wondering—are Pharm and In the same soul, reincarnated? If so, wouldn’t it have been clearer to use the same actor for consistency?

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help clarify this!

I agree with you. I have subscribed to platforms such as Viki, iQIYI, WeTV, and others because I prefer to watch content legally in order to support the actors who work so hard. I have also subscribed to YouTube Premium. However, there are occasional issues with access in certain countries due to VPN restrictions.

Hi everyone,
Just a quick update—there are three additional episodes available. I recently discovered this after the kissing scene in Episode 7. Episode 8 features a charming scene where they go grocery shopping together—it's very sweet and worth watching! I won't spoiled episode 9 and 10.

Thank you for your thoughtful response and for sharing the context behind your comment. I genuinely appreciate your willingness to reflect and engage in this conversation with such honesty.

I completely understand your discomfort with how often certain themes—like teacher/student dynamics or adult/minor relationships—appear in some Japanese media. It’s absolutely fair to feel uneasy when such portrayals come up repeatedly, and raising those concerns is important. Being critical of recurring patterns in pop culture, even ones we admire overall, is part of thoughtful media consumption.

At the same time, as you pointed out, it’s important to avoid broad generalizations about an entire nation or culture based on fictional content. I really respect the way you acknowledged that distinction, and I agree—it’s a complicated but necessary conversation to have.

Thanks again for your openness and for engaging respectfully

That’s a seriously misinformed and unfair generalization. First of all, the series you’re referring to is fictional, adapted from a manga, and both actors portraying the characters in the live-action are well over 25 years old in real life. Even in the original manga, both characters are portrayed as adults. Criticizing this as “promotion of adult-child relationships” is a misunderstanding of the content itself.

On top of that, it’s dangerous to broadly accuse an entire country of promoting inappropriate relationships based on fictional works. Fictional stories, especially in manga and anime, often explore exaggerated or stylized themes that don’t reflect real-life norms or values. If we followed that logic, we’d have to accuse countless Western media of far worse just because they explore taboo topics in fiction — for example, “Game of Thrones” includes extreme themes, but no one seriously claims that Western society promotes them.

Let’s be clear: consuming fictional media doesn’t equate to promoting or endorsing its themes in real life. Japan, like any other country, has laws protecting minors, and throwing out these kinds of accusations is not only unfair but borders on cultural ignorance. Criticize the media constructively, sure — but don’t unfairly label an entire culture based on misunderstandings.

I watched TharnType several years ago, and I have recently started watching it again. I just realised that at the end of episode 1, when Type passed out, Tharn was undressing him and kissing him without his consent, while Type was also not sober. Would this not be considered rape or sexual assault? If this were not a BL series, and if the genders were reversed — for example, a boy undressing a girl in the same situation — I wonder how people would perceive it?

I also truly loved the third couple, but I recommend not watching the final two minutes of episode six—unless you're prepared to cry, as I did

A Masterpiece That Captures the Reality of Same-Sex Relationships

At first, I was confused by the imagery of the characters walking in a straight line—but by the end, everything made perfect sense. The title, “Life: Love on the Line,” resonates so deeply now. It’s not just a metaphor—it encapsulates the entire journey of Akira and Yuuki, who meet at 17 and grow old together until they’re 82.

I can’t believe this was released in 2020 and I only came across it five years later. This is far from the typical Thai university BL series filled with light-hearted romantic tropes. Instead, it's a deeply mature and realistic portrayal of a same-sex relationship navigating the complexities of life, family, and societal expectations.

Akira was the first to feel attracted to Yuuki, initiating their first kiss. He was drawn to Yuuki from the very beginning. But after living together for 11 years, it becomes evident that Akira faced immense pressure—from both his parents and friends—to lead a so-called “normal” life: marriage, children, and conformity. That inner conflict resonated with me on a deeply personal level. I found myself in tears, overwhelmed with emotion, because I too am in a similar situation. In my early 30s, still closeted, I continue to face pressure from family and friends to marry and start a family, all while hiding who I truly am.

Akira, like many, may have momentarily lost sight of the person who truly loved him—Yuuki. Sometimes, people don’t realize what they have until it’s gone. That realization can come too late.

Many viewers may feel anger towards Akira for leaving Yuuki, but the context matters. Yuuki’s mother was open-minded and supportive, while Akira’s mother was not. Akira simply wanted to be seen as "normal" in the eyes of his family. But in the end, he recognized the mistake he made and showed genuine remorse. His confrontation with his mother was powerful, emotional, and incredibly realistic. He not only stood up for himself but also supported his sister through her own struggles.

It begs the question: Does living a “normal” life truly bring happiness? For many parents, like Akira’s mother, being “normal” means avoiding gossip or judgment. But happiness doesn’t come from fitting in—it comes from being with the person you love, someone you want to spend your life with, regardless of what society expects.

What I loved most about this series was its realism. The chemistry between the two male leads was profound, the storyline was compelling, and every moment felt authentic and powerful. It’s an absolute masterpiece—10 out of 10.

I wholeheartedly recommend this series to everyone. Japanese BL dramas hit differently—they don’t just entertain; they make you feel, reflect, and relate.

What initially drew me to this series was the remarkable appearance of the lead actor, Muenfah (portrayed by Thomas). His visuals are truly captivating—he looks effortlessly attractive in every outfit, whether it be pajamas, casual wear, or formal suits. He embodies the image of an ideal romantic partner with both charm and presence.

Admittedly, I found the first six episodes somewhat slow in terms of emotional engagement. However, from episode seven onward, my appreciation for the series deepened significantly. It became endearing and emotionally satisfying, especially in episode nine, where the intimate scenes—such as cuddling and kissing on the couch—were tenderly and tastefully portrayed. The romantic scenes in episodes nine and twelve were beautifully executed; the physical intimacy, the gentle skin-to-skin contact, and the affectionate chemistry between the leads felt authentic and deeply moving.

I was so invested that I binge-watched the entire series in just two days, and I now find myself eagerly looking forward to the sequel.

As is common in many BL dramas, there was a pivotal episode—specifically episode eleven—featuring the classic moment of disapproval from a parent. In this case, it was Terrak’s father who attempted to drive a wedge between the couple. While difficult to watch, this narrative arc added a layer of realism. I found it particularly resonant. Although Muenfah’s parents were portrayed as open and accepting of their son’s relationship with another man, Terrak’s father remained rooted in traditional values, refusing to offer the same support.

This storyline mirrors real-life challenges faced by many in the LGBTQ+ community, myself included. As someone in my early 30s who was born and raised in Australia—where same-sex marriage is legally recognized, much like in Thailand—I still grapple with the knowledge that my parents, now in their 70s and 80s, would likely not accept my coming out due to their deeply held traditional Asian beliefs.

Overall, I found this series to be soft, heartwarming, and full of genuine emotion. The portrayal of friendships, romantic relationships, and family support was handled with care and sensitivity. I especially appreciated how both main characters’ families and siblings were shown as supportive and loving.

That said, one lingering curiosity remains: what exactly are the characters studying at university? If anyone has insight into this, I would genuinely love to know.

To be honest, I was initially hesitant to watch this series, as I was wary of another university-themed drama with a lengthy 24-episode run. I only began watching it a week before the finale aired, and I’m so glad I did. The series was so compelling that I ended up binge-watching 23 episodes in just three days—I was completely hooked from start to finish.

I particularly enjoyed the development of the three main couples, from enemies to lovers, as they faced and overcame their fears together and gradually opened up to love. I appreciated how seamlessly their storylines were woven together throughout the series, creating a harmonious and engaging narrative. The relationships were filled with "green flag" moments and genuinely heartwarming scenes.

The cinematography and plot were exceptionally well done, and all six lead actors delivered stunning performances. Even the two secondary couples added charm and fun to the overall experience. It was a beautifully executed series that exceeded my expectations in every way

I was deeply saddened when I thought he had died at the end of episode 7. Fortunately, he is still alive. I have a feeling that Si-eun will find himself in a life-or-death situation, and Suho will awaken from his coma just in time to save him — most likely at the end of season 2, leaving us with a cliffhanger for the next season.

I do not believe that Jin Hwan cheated eight years ago; it appears to have been a case of miscommunication or misunderstanding. Min Jin should have confronted Jin Hwan at the time, rather than leaving without saying anything.

This situation reminds me of Addicted (Chinese BL) Season 2, where the two male leads, despite deeply loving each other, ended up parting ways for eight years. Had they communicated from the beginning, such an outcome might have been avoided.

I came across this drama here because of its high ratings and am interested in starting it. However, I noticed that while the initial air date is listed as February 2023, episode 9 was released in March 2025 — a two-year gap.

Could anyone clarify what happened during those two years? Was it due to restrictions on BL content in China, or did it genuinely take two years to complete the remaining 20 episodes? If it is the latter, I am curious why Addicted was never released beyond episode 15.

I tried watching the first two episodes, but for some reason, it hasn’t fully captured my interest. The plot doesn’t feel particularly strong to me, and while both male leads are visually stunning, I’m unsure whether to continue. Does the series improve after episode 2?

I’d also appreciate a better understanding of what to expect in the remaining eleven episodes. Since it doesn’t seem to fall into the university/high school or mafia/dark genre, I’m struggling to categorize it. From what I gather, Po is hired to take photos of a fallen boy band—so is the central theme focused on music and the entertainment industry? And does the story eventually revolve around Po falling in love with Thame?

To be clear, I enjoy boy band-themed BL series, such as High School Musical, but this one feels different in a way I can’t quite pinpoint.

I find that I am quite similar to you; I recently finished Study Group and am now on episode 4 of this series. While the two are entirely different, I must say that the martial arts and fight scenes in Study Group are superior. Nevertheless, I enjoyed both series immensely.
