I don't even care that this is very extra, over dramatic and silly in terms of plot, so far I like it. Fight me.

Wait, there's 12 eps? Okay, I'm dropping it, I don't think I can make it.

Riiiiiight? I thought it was gonna be something like him tryna initiate sexting with some profanity or sexual comments, meantime bro's just tryna' flirt with her in pretty tame way 🤣🤣🤣
I feel bad for this dude, his head must be spinning fr.

I came here to watch Mark, I was wholly unprepared to actually be enjoying it because the plot sounds so cheesy and silly, but nah, so far, I'm entertained.

lol yeah but like, to an extent I get it though, I know people have their ship addictions, I get that some people watch a show for only their ship, to each their own and all that. The thing is, even if that IS why they're watching it, just for an actor or a ship, then they should acknowledge that as their CHOICE and not complain about everything else happening in the show, especially not about other MAIN CHARACTERS, just because they don't care about it and want to see their ship on screen. That's not 'show discussion', that's just pointless bitching.

I made that choice recently, when after dropping it last year, I went back and suffered through (skipping 80% of) We Are in order to watch PondPhuwin (which was barely worth it tbh) but that was MY choice. I didn't leave comments after every episode bitching about how little screen time PondPhuwin got, because I wasn't pressed about it, the main character list was as long as my damn arm. I just fast forwarded through the shit I didn't care about and got by. Once I was done, I left one comment stating my thoughts and moved on.

It's so simple, just fast fucking forward if someone doesn't wanna see a thing, then when it's over, if they stuck around, they can leave a bad rating and write all their angst in one go instead of drowning the comments in it daily. Would that not be reasonable?
Again, rhetorical. I know they are not reasonable. LOL

BLs have seemingly made it impossible for some people to watch shows that have more than two main characters (if they're not -ahem- gay) or appreciate any layered plot devices and character developments. I am genuinely curious as to whether they can enjoy any western media or media outside of BL, where there are fully fleshed out, multiples character arcs going on. How do they even process other genres? It's crazy. If all they wanted is to watch every one is gay + slow mo couple moments and tropes x100 per episode, GMMTV is producing them up the wazoo. Nothing wrong with it either, GMMTV does their thing and anyone looking to dip their feet in can pop in there whenever they want.

But can't a little variety be appreciated?
Can't a little creative freedom be appreciated?
Can't organic development of attraction from Heesu (who has zero feelings for Seongwon at present and hasn't even acknowledged him as apotential love interest) be allowed to take place at a decent pace?

All rhetorical questions of course, after reading the on going discussions, I already know that nothing said is more important than the missing chicken date apparently 🤣

They're teenage boys ffs, they should be hoovering down food to support their metabolisms like they're starving almost 24/7 LOL

I don't think so, no motive for it. I think the picture issue was meant to be briefly jarring for viewers whenSunegwon mentioned it to her, but ultimately we see it's unrelated when she talks about the cafe picture and why she took it.

Nice to see someone's actually watching the show and paying attention to the character development devices 👍

Exactly, but in so many BLs, mofos just be walking away from fully prepared spread out meals and drinks they ain't touched 😭 like, no one DOES THAT, man.

Thanks for the answer, I was already fairly certain I'd be dropping this after that news of the de-gaying cuts, but now I'm sure. What a waste of a good drama, even censored it would have vbeen enjoyable, but not butchered.

I was so close to dropping this, it's gotten so boring and random, then I realized it's on 9/10 so I guess I'll wait it out and just finish it.

Was the aggressive part where he tried to flirt by saying 'you can wear less when you're with me?' Serious question. 😂

If I had a dollar for every time food gets wasted in BLs, I'd be lowkey rich by now. They never heard of taking it to go? A doggy bag? Also, Seungwon is a great character, and he is as I expected after the last ep; self ware, controlled and doing his best to carefully navigate his crush on the chaotic spaz that is Heesu. I like his vibe, very zen/yolo. lol I have a feeling once his secret is out and Heesu nows, he's going to be go into 'go hard or go home' mode. (no pun intended...maybe)

Seungwon's friendship with JiYu is also good, and I think now that she knows he likes Heesu, in her own (probably embarrassing for Seungwon) way, she's gonna try to help him. Female friend characters of the ML in BLs can be likeable when done well and written well. I already think she's a likeable character, a little mean, a little sassy with a helping of sincere. It'd be interesting to see if she can help Seungwon and Heesu get together, like Yiwha did for Korn and Knock in TWM.

I think 10 eps is not bad for the pacing so far, we might see Seungwon make a breakthrough with Heesu around the end of ep 5, or maybe in ep 6. 加油 Seungwon!

SK really stepping up their 2025 BL game with interesting stories in their shows. Enjoyed this first ep, fresh plot set up.

Had to squint at the screen.

The secondhand embarrassment was too real, I cringed at the academics class scene, like 'boy, have some self awareness tf you doing rn?'. Yikes.

Lots of interesting ups and down for the characters in ep 3.
I like Suengwon's self control, he's a character that come's across easy to be lead by others on the surface, but is actually quite aware of himself and others around him and he won't be easily influenced outside of what he chooses to allow. With regards to his crush on Heesu, I'm keen to see how he's going to handle his pursuit of Heesu. He already seems to be taking a step back since the situation is a bit too unstable at present.

That said, Heesu, while I bit dense and careless of his actions, is overall likeable, a likeable dork. That look he was giving Seungwon every time he was trying to will him to do what he wanted was too funny 😂 I also laughed when he called his sister a gangster 😂😂😂

I would like to see more of why Chan Young initially accepted Heesu's friendship though, the scene they showed of Heesu reflecting on their early friendship days, seems like it was more one sided and Chan Young was just being nice. Maybe that will get explained? Like, why did they actually become close friends. Maybe Chan Young is just too nice though, because that girl who kicked him in the shin for no reason needed to get kicked right back.

LOL it makes me think of Deadpool's numerous pouches, notoriously known (in gay/slash fanfiction) for always having lube somewhere in them, because 'you never know when it'll come in handy' 😂

It's all about imagination with Japanese manga, but I'd sooner except gravity/logic defying hair than honey used for lube 😂
All said, as long as I IMAGINE proper lube, it was a damn good scene 🔥
