Their voice acting was so sexy too!

This was one of my first BLs, loved it and rewatched it several times... now that time has gone by, from time to time I still watch the most memorable scenes.
To be honest, it didn't age well (storywise), but Perth's impersonation of Ae will forever be irresistible... he was so young and so talented already!

One of my biggest hopes is to see SaintPerth again in the future: in mature roles, in a great movie/series with a huge plot and direction.

OH OH OH, have a holly jolly (advanced) xmas! *_*

Ok, let's be honest - I was hoping that the "rescript" would adjust things plotwise, but that's something almost impossible to do as of now.
Instead, they went for: "let's add more NC scenes so that half of the episode is hot guys with a naked torso kissing each other!". It's not really what I had in mind, but... but... but... Tutor is so damn beautiful I could watch him be a tree in the school recital and I'd still be happy.

Can't wait for next ep!

(I need more TutorYim wuxia moments T_T)

This is building up episode after episode in such an interesting and fun way... I just really hope it doesn't sink in a trite do-goodism along the way.

On that I fully agree - they failed in developing, and showing us, both boys' feelings... especially Wan's. They had plenty of time throughout all the episodes.

Can we make it official that Ohm needs to wear tank tops (or, nothing) for the whole show? Pretty please? =D

The new trends for this autumn:
#freetheturtle
#wingame
and not to mention
#getyourselfabeer
in which "beer" has obviously multiple meanings - be it a boyfriend, a maid or... just a drink to forget it all and wet your tshirt.

I kinda agree and disagree at the same time - I honestly was waiting for Beer/Wan since the start, and I totally agree that the dialogue could have been way better... basically the whole thing could have been less rushed and feel more complete; BUT somehow I felt all that crap that Wan said was very into his character.
Somehow to me it felt just as a way to underline he's too shy/childish/proud/whatever to admit that he truly missed/likes/loves Beer... but Beer knows him deeply and he knows it already, so he accepts it and reassures him.

Finished!
As many other promising series it got lost along the way, it's a pity that they explained the "dream thing" in that way because if that were to be true, Ai's mother would have acted differently in former episodes...

But anyway: loved the characters and their dynamics, they felt pretty real and relatable and all the boys acted well.
I was torn between a 7.5 and an 8, but I'll go with 7.5 because that last episode wasn't a fitting finale.

Oh, I actually didn't notice Only You! Thanks for the tip, I'll check the pilot.

agreed! and I kinda feel that's particularly true with Thai shows - like, I rewatched Sotus and, although some scenes are timeless, I cannot say it aged well... I have a feeling the same goes with YoN. XD
The power of youth and of momentum! XD

Finally finished... put the last three eps on while ironing. XD

It took me ages to finish this one, although it started out as one of my most awaited series of this year: the premises were great AND the actors, both the two leads and the supporting cast, did a great job. But along the way it got lost, started running in circles, basically showing us either:
1. flashbacks
2. diabetical fluff
3. overdramatic crazy scenes

I kinda have a problem with these acting-like-crazy female characters in GL, throwing things everywhere, screaming... holy moly, we're lesbians we're not psychos, you know? o.o

My comfort moments were from doctor Tan and doctor Bow, these two friends were so precious!

Anyway, we're getting more and more GL series and that's great, so I'm happy I watched till the end and I'll stay tuned for other projects of LingLing and Orm as a pair. <3

out of topic maybe, but when we're talking about movies that are SO old (like Yes or No for istance), I think it's impossible to rewatch and just rate them the same as a 2024 product: so much has changed in the industry, and (thankfully also) in society.

Finished! And I surprisingly shed a tear at the end, because of all the sweetness overload and the cozyness.
I must admit I didn't feel the chemistry between the two leads at first, but both Isumi and Amazawa had a way to insinuate into my heart and at the end, I was basically "happy that they are happy".

Simple story, honest characters, lovely friends, nice and heartwarming development. As always, what I like the most in these JDramas is the feeling of "being inside a warm bubble" in which things move slow but smoothly.
It's an 8/10 for me.

On a sidenote: how can they eat so much? Some dinners were for 4 people, not for two! XD
