Justice for Seojoon man….
Nahhhhhh….. ON HIS BIRTHDAY?!?!!??!! Han Jiwoo!! You little sociopath!!!I get him and have even been him but it feels like his character had absolutely no growth in two whole seasons. Zero. That ep.5 dinner scene was hard to sit through also..
After watching some bl’s I tend to leave with a gut feeling that one of the people in the relationship just deserved better, this is one of them. I’m not too mad at Jiwoo but the guy is way too emotionally stunted and is hellbent on not compromising a single one of his set values.
“If you’re going to act at least do it well until the end” line stuck out to me.
Jiwoo pushing Seojoon away in the worst way possible because of his insecurities, giving in enough to sleep with him and then continuing to treat Seojoon like trash.. Stick to your script baby boy. Just set that man free.
Seojoon should not have taken him back. I stand on that.
Big fan of the corny ahh handkerchief story tho.
Yooha has my heart. I don’t know enough Korean to place it well but her dialect sounds very fun to my ear.

it’s alright for what it is
“You had time to pull away..” x100.. Man…Not much to say, mainly watched this so I could watch the sequel (which is hyped way more) with all of the context.
I agree with a lot of other people here in saying that Seojoon just deserves better. That man is pure and kind and Jiwoo put him through so so much. He’s a saint for putting up with all of that.
Is it worth watching? Absolutely. It’s a good enough show to sit through albeit not very memorable.
Good enough chemistry. Decent cinematography as in most Korean BL’s.

It’s alright
“If I turned into a bug, would you still love me 🥺👉👈“ Saw the set up for it coming from a mile away but Donghee’s reaction to Hotae’s answer still got a giggle out of me. Sometimes it’s the simple things!!The tomato scene… Is this how high schoolers actually deal with crushes?? Practically cuddle one night then get randomly pissed off and lash out when they touch you lightly??
“I like him so I better ruin his entire day”??
Man ep.4….. I don’t tend to really enjoy the “found siblings into lovers” trope which kinda makes this a bit weird for me but those two can kiss… actual kissing!! IN MY KBL!!
Donghee 100% has a hyung kink btw, I won’t be convinced otherwise.
I hope they get a better script and act again in the future.

Painful watch
Oh. This one’s just pure pain. Not the good kind.I kept expecting them to explain the zombiness away but they kept digging deeper into the science of how it works until they just straight up went - “you know what, magic fucks in this universe”. Made me knock it down from a solid 8 down to a 5.
The supernatural-ness of it all cheapens the plot immensely in my honest opinion. I think it would have been so much better if it all actually was just in Micchans head which would have then made him learn to navigate his life after coming to terms with the death. Would have made for way better story.
I am however glad that they got to spend those last 4 days together and say goodbye properly.
I don’t know if that would help or worsen one’s grief in real life tho..

Spectacular Show
Vibes are immaculate. Knocking a point off for certain two people getting forgiven in the end. Otherwise - WOW!!Episode 6 ending going into episode 7?? Edge of my seat, biting my nails, flabbergasted.
BL characters with fleshed out stories, personality and preferences outside of their love interest?? Personal issues that they actually acknowledge and work through??COMMUNICATION???
Well there’s a bit of questionable behaviour on the communication front but it was so well set up that it didn’t even bother me. No one’s pulling nonsense out of their ass to misunderstand. Mc’s are able to read between the lines instead of taking everything at face value.
The casual intimacy was done so well. The lingering looks, the light touches, forehead kisses etc.. I mean they convinced me that they actually loved each other. Huge props to the actors for bringing it to life. Chefs kiss. Sign me the f up for more stories like this one.

Eh..
The idea of the main plot is pretty interesting but it’s executed in an insanely corny manner. Hits all of the BL tropes you can possibly think of. Half the time they’re doing absolutely nothing and I’d still be embarrassed if someone caught me watching this show. They know that side of their audience and are tapping into it well if you catch my drift.Should have given these roles to actors that aren’t afraid to actually kiss if that’s what you’re going for. Although I suppose this may have been one of the first Kor BL’s to be released so gotta let them off on that one.
Don’t regret watching but it’s nothing extraordinary.

wasted potential
I like it when shows are able to rip my heart out and stomp on it. I felt Mhok’s frustration and pain deep in my chest in the early-mid episodes.Unfortunately what was a beautifully portrayed story slowly but gradually devolved into played out boring tropes.
Get that man Day some acting classes idk.. I feel like he focused so hard on the blind part (which he absolutely nailed btw) that he forgot he was also meant to be in love. Could be the scripts fault. Unlikely.
Extra point for disabled rep.

Overhyped unfortunately.
Predictable at every turn. Was calling literally every single thing that was about to happen which ruined the watch somewhat.Romance didn’t feel naturally progressed. I get that their bickering was pseudo flirting but they jumped from that to almost straight up confessing in 2 episodes.
Then 10 more episodes & essentially 2.5 years in show time for them to kiss. The latter sort of made sense at least.
Classic BL baiting and innuendos. Lost it at the soap ad inside of a soap ad. Like actually cackled.
Putting all of the grievances aside however, it’s a very cute story, loved the relationship Tian formed with all of the kids.
Extra half a point for Tian serving face while on the verge of death every single time.

sad and mad
I’m sad because I really wanted to like this one more than I do. The couple gets together in the first episode which is fine. It’s how teens tend to move with this stuff. Akira’s kinda a fool tho, his pushiness when they were teens pissed me off. If he was like this with a girl and not a guy it could have gone south pretty quickly.He confesses to his sister about dating Yuuki, who mind you is thrilled for him, and still goes on to fuck it all up. WITH A COWORKER. I’m flipping all of the imaginary tables.
And yes. I get it. It’s hard. You have to be next level sociopathic to actively hurt someone you love AND yourself after building a life with them tho.
I have little sympathy for Akira. You’re not just screwing your relationship but also fooling this poor woman. All for the sake of seeming “normal” when no one even gave you shit for being “abnormal”.
SHE LIVED IN THEIR APPARTMENT!! And then what?? They randomly meet IN ALASKA after forever and Yuuki supposedly just takes him back??
Yh, alright.

Underrated Timeless Masterpiece
I love everything about this. Seriously. No notes.The way it was filmed and cut makes you feel like an invisible spectator hanging out with them.
The acting is so insanely natural and real! Some scenes made me feel icky and I was screaming in my head that it was all wrong but it was all executed so well from start to finish. Like they’re just people. None of that cringe weirdness you get in Thai BL. The whole show is such a breath of fresh air. The outro songs... Just everything.. Crush it up and snort it. Roll it up and smoke it. Consume it. Inject it.
Mieko was my spirit animal through and through until ‘the mistake ™’. Still don’t fully blame her tho…
I feel for Eiji. He will hate himself for the rest of his life. It’s misery entirely of his own creation of course but sometimes that’s just how life goes.
My 2 babygirls didn’t think anything through at all and Makki was a silent passenger until it was way too late. That ep.7 conversation should have happened before all the craziness.
My heart hurts for all of them. This story’s not for the weak.
Thank god for Asato tho.
“Don’t Make It Weird After We Do This”. Famous last words.
