I dropped MSP after the first 2 episodes cause it was so childish and cliché. But after seeing everyone and their mothers praising the series I decided to try again. Glad I did cause while the series is still cliché and without surprise, it is done in such a funny and engaging way I can't help liking it. I like the couple especially Fourth (I love his smile!) and I appreciate how they communicate and support each other. That being said, the storyline could have been wrapped in 8 episodes and I still don't get all the hype (all the praise gives me 2gether flashbacks...). Though I agree it's one of the best GMMtv bls.
I'm all for cute and fluffy but there's a fine line before stepping into childish territory... I thought the story was going to be mature but Seung Hyun's schoolboy behaviour "mars" the whole dymanics. I mean, it's cute in small doses but during every encounter? Cringe.
I guess there's not much to tell if they used 4 episodes for nothing... Except 2 interesting flashbacks that explained the friendship' dynamics, the rest was a repetition of the same boring stuff. I don't like the writer. I'm supposed to feel sorry for him cause of his unrequited love but I don't. Imo if you never confess to your crush you only have yourself to blame. Why act like your crush offended you when they didn't know about your feelings? And even if you muster the courage to confess, does your crush owe you something? Must they love you back? You're so hurt to the point of disappearing and acting this cold and immature when you meet again years later? Also, I'm not a fan of the silent, moody and passive aggressive character. For 4 episodes SWJ did nothing but pout, sigh and close the door on HYW's face. If he didn't want HYW there, he should have been civil to him and explained he doesn't want to work with him. Done. I found this whole storyline quite dumb. It gives me TMS2 vibes and it's not a compliment.
so many people are shitting on their acting but i don't see the problem? Sure they are not the best actors but…
Japanese actors are known for overacting, most of them do. Here we have 2 guys acting normally/calmly but now it's an issue for some viewers ?! I really don't get it.
I am not teenager enough anymore to understand why the one excludes the other. Aren't there any singers, actors,…
Also, why an idol? Can he be a "normal" singer? With Lian, he has enough money and connexion to establish himself and have a private life like any other singer. Once again, they're adding drama for no reason.
The way couples gush over wanting a "perfect wedding" has always seemed stupid to me. There are entire movies…
I agree with everything but this "Only a straight screenwriter could come up with such an absurd leap of logic." -> I know some gay men who want a typical beautiful wedding (flowers, centerpieces, groomsmen...). And I know many straight couples who just went to court to sign the paper cause they couldn't care less about a big wedding. Why apply dreams and wants to a sexual orientation? Maybe the series' message is "gays can have a big wedding like anyone else, they don't have to settle for small and private ceremony, they can do what they want"?
I don't get the comments about the acting. The acting is good, nothing spectacular but certainly not bad. The guys are playing two introverted characters so what kind of acting you're expecting?
To be fair, it was like that in the webtoon as well. KH BL is mass-produced, be it their webtoons, shows or novels,…
Thank you for your input. I don't read korean webtoons (straight or bl) so I didn't know. I believe screenwriters should know when to improve the source material because what works in a book don't always translate well in a series/movie. Imo, a lot of kbls could have been better if they had put more work into the script and less money in the production quality...
Best episode! The chemistry was strong and they didn't have to force it or rely on skinship. Just the dialogue and them smiling and staring at each other was enough to convey love and tenderness.
This comment is dumb because physical attraction is always primary in any relationship. It always starts there.…
Again, you're missing the point. I'm talking from a viewer's perspective: I don't care if they've spent 2 weeks together out of screen, I need them to interact more onscreen... Whatever, let's stop here. You're not going to change my mind.
