all thanks to GagaooLala...before mainland Chinese BL were choosing IQYI to escape censorship but since Canvas were banned, Gaga came upfront to save the series and released in due to and minimal time under their banner.
Now all mainland CN series will choose Gaga as official and international platform to release BL, as it is Taiwanese company and PRC can't blocked it.
Always with the stepbrothers plot.... they really can't help themselves
exactly...I don't know why go down that road...when their ton of other arcs, problems and difficulties, that they have to choose this...it just messed up entire thing....and we get ambiguous endings, and results.
One of the best things about this show—or any romantic show, for that matter—is Su Zai Zai calling out, "Rang Rang." Those two words felt like the epitome of romance: soft, tender, and almost like a melody that lingered in my ears. ZMY absolutely nailed every part of her performance, delivering each line of the script with such finesse that it made the story irresistibly lovable and heartwarming.
What sets this show apart is how it handled the female lead's character. For once, we have a teen-romantic story where the FL’s behavior, though somewhat clichéd, was anything but cringy. It never felt overdone or out of place. Instead, it was majestic—a masterclass in how to execute clichés with charm and perfection. It’s a rare gem, perhaps one of the very few (or even the only) teen romances in memory that struck such a delicate, beautiful balance.
It's been more than a year, yet the sound of "Rang Rang" continues to echo in my ears and linger in my thoughts. Every time Su Zai Zai called her love, it felt like pure sweetness, a dreamy melody that resonated with the heart. Those two simple words carried so much affection, and through her voice, they became a symbol of love itself.
It wasn't just dialogue; it was love brought to life through the finest acting. The tenderness, the sincerity, and the warmth in those moments were a testament to the incredible performance that made this love story unforgettable. Truly, it was romance at its most magical.
Their partners have no right to feel jealous or even ask questions when they behave casually and set boundaries that are hard for any kind of relationship to sustain.
You can be as "woke" as you want, but be ready to be broke as well.
A relationship without sex and intimacy carries on with so many boundaries that it eventually weakens the relationship. Let’s not pretend that sex isn’t important and that love is just about emotions. That’s just nonsense. A relationship needs love as much as it needs sex or physical touch.
Both men are miserable in their relationships. The girl and the other guy sleep in separate beds, which might be normal because some people feel uncomfortable sharing a bed even as couples. There’s no rule against it, but their behavior is cold, distant, and disrespectful of their partners' needs. Their yearning for intimacy and sex is very obvious, but the girl and the boy won’t let them have it. So, what’s the point of this relationship?
But then from 1 EP the perspective of others are not clear, we might yet to see, so I will see again, but I feel that both men are wronged by their partner.
Any it is a good and very good FJBL. JP always excels in stories and no one can come up with concepts like they do...
I am very confused…please someone clarify…in EP5 the guy Chris when he was taking to YJW in practice he was a grown man and YJW was a child but when he told FL how he has watched him grow…in flashback they bother were child like the difference must have been 5-6 years old but still they both were children…but the practice room talk and the flashback sequence doesn’t match the age count. anyone else noticed as well?
It was 12 years reunion of Kang Ha Neul and Yim Si Wan, since they worked in Miseang...gosh how time flies...more than a decade has passed since Miseang came...
One of the best-written, adapted, and acted stories ever. The warmth, love, sadness, fulfillment, and joy it brought to viewers were simply remarkable. It’s truly one of the best BLs in the history of mankind—okay, maybe that sounds exaggerated, but it’s genuinely how I feel. Life on Line, Love in the Big City, and now this have solidified their places in my top 5 BLs of all time. It’s literally the best adaptation I’ve ever seen.
Even South Korea couldn’t have done a better job, largely due to their conservative approach to BL adaptations and their cultural mindset. While Japan also has a conservative society, their approach to such stories is significantly more progressive. They have greater freedom to adapt source material authentically, without compromising the essence of the narrative—a freedom many others lack.
It’s absolutely a 10/10. Love in the Big City had its flaws, but the essence and warmth it delivered made me give it a perfect score, and the same goes for this series. It’s just that good—literally gave me butterflies in my stomach!
She is literally sick, has been hospitalized for a while and just got released. She didn't join any promotion…
hmmm....her previous drama reflection of you was also same...even though one couldn't see, as this and that role were both in misery so one could overlook given the circumstances of the characters, but clearly her face is pale and out of place.
did Paul Kim sang one of the OST??? his typical yet unique voice is easily recognizable.
ps. again with the foreign country, poor country, gun fight, rebel and all…it was going good but the stunt they pulled was vomit worthy…there were thousand ways to disappear in your fucking country…
