For me, TT and WRU felt longer bc the scenes seemed to drag on with not a whole lot happening that advances the plot lol. I feel like in this episode, everything advances the story, and the plot is more dynamic, so it feels shorter (it could also actually be shorter, I just feel like content plays a role too haha).

From my understanding, the first 3 episodes are supposed to be a condensed version of SS1, and after that the show will pick up at book 2, so the pacing should normalize.

Ughhhh this makes my heart melt!! <3

Yes he reminds me of someone too though I can’t quite place it. I kept thinking Benjamin Brasier, from 2Moons 2, but with a thinner face. Something about the expressions I think... I agree with your comparisons too!

Maybe one day our wish will come true and we’ll get to see him in a leading BL role ^^

Haha oh yeah! He’s underrated. He stole my heart with his 5 seconds of PremWad in SOTUS and I’ve been waiting for a similar tsundere character from him ever since!

Yesss he’s too cute! Forever wishing they’d cast him as a lead in a BL lol

Agree with everyone else—with episode 1, this series is off to a great start and I’m excited for more! Hope they keep this same momentum. This is the first series I’ve seen Bright in and I’m in love! He fits the role so perfectly and is so handsome! (And I always love seeing Gunsmile even for the minimal amount of time he appears haha always steals the scene for me).

Haha you’re good! Happy watching!!

Ep 1 now fully subbed on YouTube, according to others :) I think it’s pretty common now for GMMTV to put subs out late (relatively speaking). I seem to recall them doing that on other shows I’ve watched from them in the past year or so.

Exactly! I feel the same way.

Ahhh ok good! I was hoping for a premise exactly as you described since LS did fail in that department lol, so now I’m even more excited to watch!

The plot kind of sounds like Love Sick (at the very basic level) but LS didn’t quite follow that storyline like I thought it would, which left me a little disappointed. Interested to see if this one will, and hoping (like most) for subs soon lol

Greeaaat another BL that romanticizes rape (hate that this trope is so common since it gives the genre a bad rap). Stans will stan I guess, but as someone who represents victims of sexual abuse in court, the plot (well, the “falling in love with your rapist and abuser because he’s so, so sorry and actually does love you, even though rape is about power and not love” part) makes me sick to my stomach. People who read it and think romance....I don’t know, man.

“The rapist can't end up with his victim unless he does something to prove his love right?“ <— Pretty sure Lazy Subber said this ironically based on the rest of the post and how obviously twisted this logic is haha but I’m hoping there won’t be many cries of “OTP!” when this comes out.

I wish the authors/directors/screenwriters would stop pushing this violent, dangerous, misinformed narrative, because it’s rarely if ever shown the way it should be (i.e., as a trauma and not as a love story). :/

*Also, I apologize if I come off as preachy—just getting the frustration out.

I don’t see how the synopsis could be portrayed as anything other than bad haha 😅

I wonder if this was intentional, like maybe to show that the dad has some diverse taste in women and gets around the globe?? Lol idk

Tea! Haha for real though, you’re right! I generally enjoy BLs but find the shows (especially Thai) tend to be very overrated on here, and it seems to have gotten more so in the past year or so. It’s refreshing to hear similar sentiments lol

Yeah, I’m more interested in the two younger brothers’ relationships, maybe because the oldest brother is cheesy to me sometimes haha

Yessss!! I just saw it too and am so excited! I can finally finish it after starting it on the now-defunct DramaFever haha (Also I love your profile pic ^^)

Ooh yes I have the Ten Count volumes and I think I remember seeing something about it being adapted somewhere, now that you mention it. That should be interesting! And yes, anime is always welcome; ahhhh I’m just so happy about Saezuru it almost makes up for the English publisher slacking off on it!
