I'm so torn on this one...
I understand the idea of the Saneha stories to talk about stories and issues that deal with LGBT themes, but this definitely needed more than 2eps.

Also, I support the fact of casting a famous actor as a main lead to attract views, BUT as much as I love Tul (both as an actor and as a person), I found him to be not the best choice for this role. I'm sure he gave it his all, but for sure he showed us better performances in other series.

Anyway: it's still a very nice watch, especially thanks to all the secondary characters (Caaaannnndy!)... I loved Dew, such a green flag!

Agree on that - they surely age way better than I do! XDDDDDDD

I think the point might be "how fast" the public health system can act.

Like for example in Italy there is universal healthcare, but an emergency public visit may even take months to get scheduled so in the end: if you're poor you wait for the public system, if you're rich you pay a private doctor and go first.

(I remember 13y ago when I was pregnant I had a severe issue that might have caused the fetus to have problems... the public system scheduled my emergency visit after 6 months and by that time my son would have already been born... so in the end i payed 160€ for a private visit that took place the next day).

To be honest, I felt like getting 2 dramas for both OffGun and TayNew in a short amount of time was a sign of "they're getting old, let's make a final rush before they withdraw from BL ship's world".

I really really love the four of them (can't wait to see them in January in Italy!), but it's starting to be family time for them too, so I'm so worried this might happen... :(
And, since "BL for mature audience" usually means "BL with NC scenes" for GMMTv, my hopes of getting real plots for them is growing thinner and thinner.

(I know this might sound pessimistic, but I'm 37yo and I'm still crying over Arashi disbanding four years ago... XD)

Do we know already if this will get subbed for international fans too?
It looks amazing in terms of cinematography, so I'd really love to watch it...

If MDL will ever have an option to pin a comment on top of a page, here it should be yours.
It's like "Pinocchio" for Italians, or "A Christmas Carol" for english-speakers... so many different adaptations were made during the years, each and every one with a different take on the story and characters!

I don't care how this will end, because in any way: it'll be one of the best shows, if not even THE BEST, this year.

I don't think it's a bad or wrong opinion, but it really depends on which side of the world you live in. I live in a country where healthcare is (mostly) free for everyone and same goes for school, so if you're a "normal" person (with normal I mean with no special needs whatsoever) and you're talented, you can climb the ladder because you are given enough basic instruments from society to do so. Maybe you won't become rich, but you can live a comfortable life.
(Also: in my country many debts, like gambling ones, do not pass from father to son...)

Even so, if you encounter any kind of problem, as a poor person you'll need ten times the effort to overcome it, and often during that time, consequent problems arise and pile up like an insurmontable wall... whereas if you're rich, you just pay and the problem is solved. And if there's only one job opening for example, if you got the money (or are from a wealthy family) you can "convince" the people in the blink of an eye...

That said, there are places in which you pay for everything and basic needs are often not met, so even children need to help the whole family by working. In those situations, you can be the most talented person ever, BUT if most of your time is spent on hard labor you won't have the time to dedicate to study and selfgrowth.

Plus, "poverty" is not something only money-related: much poverty comes from ignorance (where "ignorance" is not "stupidity" but "lack of knowledge and sense"), just like the case of Jack's parents who, with a foolish and stupid choice (maybe they also were depressed and couldn't think straight?), signed for a bad future for their son.

Ok, unpopular opinions - loving the Boss's character AND Rose too.
And yes, Save & Hope too. :D

I really liked this episode, had me glued on the screen (although with some rolleyes on some decisions, but ehi, we won't have the drama otherwise, so...)!
I loved how they showed how f***ed is the rich&corrupted people's underworld, that was a very powerful scene with some great cinematography... actually, the whole episode was visually great.

I wanted to ask the same thing, I couldn't understand if "Alice" was some sort of fictional name for the Boss during the game, but since it was the same name they used before in "Alice's son" (Aran) I was kind of confused...

I'm not ashamed to admit I will really MISS this series.
Yes, it was cringe and nonsense and plotless... basically a fanservice party with the worst directing and editing possible... BUT the costumes were amazing, the boys really looked great in those wuxia clothes and they all showcased good to great acting moments.

I think this could have been a great series, if it had a different crew: the premises were very interesting and also the cast. The sad thing is, it was a very fresh idea... but filled with stale tropes and clichèes!

The final episode was like some random trailer for a NC show tho', probably the most confused episode of the drama... we didn't even get to know the ending of the book! ...but I loved Sin/Willi's bright smile. XD

7/10 for me, and I hope Tutor&Yim can get choose their next project and go for something really good, they deserve it.

I want it too! XD

Oh! I didn't know this, thank you very much for your explanation!

I was about to say the same thing! I always wonder why there is only news about K-dramas, K-actors, k-prizes, K-everything...

I just started this out and I must say: Ryoma's stream of consciousness is so much fun, the tone of his voice cracks me up! XD

I'm just on ep2 but I find it very intriguing, it has a mood that reminds me of some comedy of the absurd.

And I just now realized that the ending credits are different depending on the team's situation: first two eps the base is empty, then we have the whole group bickering, then two eps with them talking as friends, then two eps with Home alone and lonely... and the ending of this episode only had Home/Peach/Pang quietly sitting around the laptop.

There are so many little details and quotes in all the episodes!
I'm so happy TayNew are starring in this great project. <3

I just have to stop watching to say that "P'Suradech I choose you!" with the pokeball sound effect is one of the most epic scenes ever seen in a pokemon battle.

This show is chef's kiss!! XD

Ok, ep6 felt a bit out of the blue to me - I think I'm watching the uncut version, but there were quite some scenes that felt a bit disconnected or put there just for the "fanship" sake. It kinda felt like "an interval" between the first and the second part of something (which is, the story).

Anyway: I'm loving Mark's role and Aran's character, I hope they can manage to build him more tridimensionally in the next episodes; same goes for Hope, although he seems like a crazy bloodthirsty dog up to now but I'm sure he has his story to tell.
(Honestly, I would have loved to see these two characters together!)

The only two negatives notes for me, as of now, are the comedic scenes which often feel abrupt (I usually like Thai humour, but here it's not working for me although I understand why they keep on putting these scenes), AND the "plans" that are often quite farfetched.

But! Finished the bingewatch of aired episodes, so I'm on board for the weekly watching of this one too.

I bingewatched it yesterday out of the same curiosity, since rates on MDL are usually pumped up (or down) due to fanships and stans... it's not a masterpiece, BUT it's a very good series as of now (ep6).

Totally different thing from IFYLitA tho': this one is fun, energic and entertaining. It does have great acting, very nice cinematography and huge chemistry from the leads and the rest of the cast.
It's better than many BLs out there, but ep6 started to feel like it's going down.

I think they should not permit rating if a series is ongoing.

Does not deserve that high of a rating, BUT it's a very good series. I bingewatched it yesterday out of the same curiosity, and it did not disappoint - although we're only midway through and it already shows signs of "downfall".
