It didn't ruin the scene, I just feel like the emotion and intensity would have been louder than music, if there'd been silence.

Really? Damn. I didn't notice that, I guess I wouldn't though, I watched Brokeback Mountain when it came out back in 05' and I only watched it once. No way I'd remember those names.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the song, I just think it's used at the wrong time, for the wrong scene.

I saw the word Birdy and my brain did the association and screamed TSENG JINGHUA with little pop up hearts (as is the standard for me 😂), so I immediately noticed the other names too. Nice how they slipped that in there.

That final scene (before the credits) was done REALLY well, if ONLY they hadn't had that music playing the whole time, I personally would have found it a 100% serve (for that scene specifically, since I skipped a lot of the filler in this ep). I've always felt music in series /movies needs to be well timed, and the music playing so loudly and continuously in that scene took away the intensity of what realistic, tense silence could have done for it. In that close space, needing to be quiet, not wanting to wake anyone up while SW is having this whole important realization. Just breathing and muted natural sounds around them. That kind of thing. Eh. Pity about the loss of intensity there, but still, a good scene, it kind of dragged the point of the show back into focus.

The final final seen (after the credits) was the opening of an unexpected can of worms (for me, as someone who didn't read the book and assumed his dad was just an abusive or neglectful prick). I'm not sure how unveiling this, so late into things, is going to impact the final ep. I mean, JT doesn't seem traumatized by what happened, he just seemed to grow up to be a reserved, emotionally mature and self aware teen. And he definitely caught onto his feelings for SW several eps back already, so I don't feel like he's filled with 'no-homo' issues. So I'm curious as to what that reveal is meant to mean with regards to JT's whole shtick, I expect the next ep will address it.

I don't personally like the one sided simp trend in BLs, which is what JT has been progressively becoming more and more characterized as, but it's a staple in most BLs, so I just have to overlook it (very often).

The acting continues to carry this BL for me above all else, it really is the stand out quality of this show. Let's see what the final ep does to close this series.

Tell me someone else noticed 'Yobirdy', 'En9raved', 'here1n' and 'AHAN' in the chat names at the beggining of ep11??? Nice! They did a shout out to the fantastic YNEH! And reminded me of how I need stunning Tseng Jinghua in a new drama NAOW.

Still a fun watch! And still not taking itself too seriously. I think that's what will continue to save this show from being considered ridiculous (to me). I do think whoever wrote the script definitely misuses Joker's 'calling card'. Joke putting Joker on that fake ring instead of the name Jack (which would have been the inconspicuous criminal thing to do so he could draw NO attention to himself) was not smart. lol He literally sabotaged his own plan.

I'm also still impressed by the actor of Joker, he actually applies nuance to his acting which is rare from Thai actors. It makes him stand out in a great way.

Yeah, unfortunately the more popular actors/actresses become, the more Cn fans (and some other countries fans) can't separate fiction from reality and they can't deal with their faves acting in darker genres. It's not the actors who don't choose it, many of them say they want to act as a 'villain' when they start out, but once they became famous, that is never heard of again, rip😂 Happy watching ✌️😁 The Spirealm is right up there with The Untamed imo.

Considering what you've said here, if the genre of horror/supernatural interests you, you might enjoy The Spirealm, it's also 'censored' BL from China based on a BL novel. Fully plot based with MLs censored romance. https://kisskh.at/681049-death-kaleidoscope

I agree, I like Reese and Orca as characters, but I don't care about them getting together.

The hollow heart statue is ep36 @40.40 and Room217 starts at about 29.51 in episode 34.

Reading between the lines of the mixed comments on the final 2 eps, I'm opting to drop this. As it was I struggled over several days to get through the first six episodes. I do hope they make more BLs with darker/real life issue themes in future though, it's a nice change of pace.

This episode felt a little out of focus after the previous ep, but only in certain places, otherwise there were some important scenes to move the story forward. It'll be good to see Sea gain more confidence musically, it'll also probably make him feel equal to Neil on more than one level, which will be good for their relationship development. Feeling like a 'fan' adds somewhat of an imbalance to their dynamic rn. As for the mix up of languages, for me it was just noticeable that some of the actors have a better handle on English than others. I do think it's better that they're not making everyone unrealistically fluent in their non-native languages when listening to each other and using English as a middle ground.

I also like that the preview shows Amasawa as asking Isumi to wait little longer for his answer to Isumi admitting he likes him, because I feel like he's been walking the line of being attracted to Isumi, but outright ignoring it probably due to the age gap, so maybe he needs to process what it means for them now that Isumi has broken down that boundary and things can change between them.

This series, for all that it's fluff and being so basic in storyline, has not yet set a foot wrong. Every episode has been a pleasure to watch. The pacing of developing attraction has been really great.

This shit is hilarious! The guy playing Shiba Ryoma acts like he was born with an inner anime character in his body. That sofa cushion catch was so on point 😂

Interesting take. But I disagree.

So basically, Go Hotae spent his late teens simping over this guy who was having some internal homophobia and gay-panic issues, and then the guy leaves, runs away and Go Hotae keeps simping for no good reason (I mean honestly, he's young and single, he could be living his best life) then the guy comes back (presumably after he came to terms with his sexuality) and this show ends on a positive note.

Only for Go Hotae to continue pointlessly simping over this guy, who in ULS, pretty much treats him like shit for 9 and half episodes straight, and then after so much useless simping back and forth in ULS, this guy vaguely gives him his a green light like 'Okay, I'm tired of making you suffer while I overvalue myself and play hard to get and leave you to look like a fool.' Yeesh. 😂
And it's rated high because why? The kiss scenes are good? LOL The actors are popular? I mean, I like Won Tae Min but come on! Kim Donghee is actually pretty much an a-hole character, even more so ULS, like he just got worse.

Nah, but okay, imo, this is was pretty good if one doesn't consider ULS, even the ending mostly redeemed Kim Donghee, but that's superficial, because we know what happens in ULS and that just ruins it for me, it makes it a weak, miserable prequel storyline. Can't exactly watch it standalone knowing Kim Donghee continued to be a douchebag in the future.

But it's better than ULS and they both acted really well. So 7/10 from me.

That's what I said in my review for this ages ago. I even made a meme.
