I wonder what it looked like to the foreigners of the staff the international movie set, to see Fl's plate with her name. "Oh Mee Joo"? It must look like some cuddly-kitty nicknames to them LOL I wonder what they make of korean language, after this impression LOL
What's with his new profile pic? That's like from his high-school days? Too clean & expressionless: there's like no character to his face. He's easily to be confused with somebody else because of this pic. Better use his dramacool pic: https://kprofiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/SungJoon1a-1-e1549723543889.jpg At least you know that's Sung Joon!
I'm sorry but this "drama" is very uneventful, repetitive and with incosistent script that is kinda hard to follow... In plain words, it's long despite being short, it's BORING. So, if not for some steamy scenes, there's really not much reason why to bear with it, LOL (and it's still question whether that's worth it to YOU or not). If homosexuality is such a crime for them, then let them make good steamy straight dramas in China. But sadly, those attempts suffer exactly the same problems I just mentioned in my 1st sentence (along with the "great acting" ruined by DUBBING), despite that their main couples ARE allowed to kiss. All c-dramas are C-DRAMAS FIRST, everything else second.
Episode 1: LMAO Okay, this definitely makes fun of us BL watchers & fans (mostly GIRLS! lol) "I'm just an extra. I'm just an extra. My whole family are extras." (Ooops. If one of them is Yutaro, then caution!!!) Then our poor Extra boy (mobu) gets worried sick that his brother'll become a victim of Meryba death and needs to assure himself first that he's not living in the life-threatening kind of BL, LOL Episode 4: Mobu is still hilarious. Until... He is not. He declares love to a guy we barely got to know, so it's totally our usual BL, and sadly, Mobu aka Mister "Extra" does not DEFY The World Of BL as he boldly claims. 8 out of 10.
Episode 14 and I'm already fastforwarding so much that I don't follow...;-) Worse is, there is probably nothing much worth fastforwarding TO (when I count in that the younger of the guys is really cute), even despite me watching the so-called "uncensored" episodes, which are 21 minutes long. But I am like BORED after 8 minutes.
There's too much Inner Monologue in this... I think we can SEE how much HiHi (hi hi:-) likes Kiyoi even without his voiceover constantly ramming in... At 1/2 it goes quite downhill. There are sequences with him having a machine gun at school which were not very lucky choice, I'm afraid. The awful fake "kiss" was forced in more way than one. And a time jump (possibly to college?) at 3/6 in series that's already so short? Started watching episode 4/6, but my interest in this show SO dropped...
I did enjoy it, but it's just funny & cute, with enjoyable & fresh character dynamics, not "tightly plotted, well-written, brilliantly acted" as the top review says, LMAO Issei's character makes drastic changes on the short runtime, that 21-year old actor does NOT look 17, that psychopatic side-character makes zero sense and no one puts her in a cell, the writer completely forgot the issue with Issei's mother, both the kisses are with one of them having open eyes, the whole thing is the same dated caricature that no one needs to tell me that it was adapted from a manga. But like I said, I did enjoy it;-) Loved the FL and her wildly open-hearted ways.
gosh, 45x45 min, that is 33,75 hours it's like 22 movies c-dramas are exhausting and all the males (including my darling hawick lau) are wearing the IDENTICAL hair style young guys, middle-aged guys, old guys, all of them have their lower hair all around the ears shaven off (like they wanted to go for punk hair, but then changed their mind) and the top front hair pulled up in some slimy quiff or other... tons of hairproduct... so 80's... or, so CHINA. and they all speak the same monotone voice tone probably DUBBED and we don't hear the real actors at all so, 1 episode is enough for me of the weird experience i don't want to GET USED to this
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? What a horrible ending. Episode 3/4 is called "Someone Who Bullied Me Has A Crush On My Boyfriend". That other girl is pretty psycho. Episode 4, the guy who did NOT choose her to begin with suddenly leaves the girl he really likes for HER? Why was she not revealed as a psycho she is? Why - if they wanted to be "cool" with the UNhappy ending - did they not invent less crazy "Reason Why He Has Changed". This supposed to be "realistic" because it ended badly? I DON'T think it is.
Now, answer me this, please: Both the episodic version and movie version have "Inner Monologue" listed between the Tags. I hate "inner monologue". I remember I purposedly watched only the movie version of 'Where Your Eyes Linger' because it was blissfully without those. But, it looks like we can't expect the same thing here, can we? You don't mention it, you only speak a lot about "bgm" and I had to google it means background music, at least I think it does... How about you replace it in your review? It's long can't it be a few characters longer? I hate abbreviations. You're never really sure what they mean. It annoys your reading. Either way the movie version still isn't subtitled on dramacool so it looks like I'll have to start with the series anyhow. There's also season 2 of this. Does the different movie version affect season 2?

It's listed in the Tags. Is there a main character who's cros-dressing?

So, why be disturbed
Issei's character makes drastic changes on the short runtime, that 21-year old actor does NOT look 17, that psychopatic side-character makes zero sense and no one puts her in a cell, the writer completely forgot the issue with Issei's mother, both the kisses are with one of them having open eyes, the whole thing is the same dated caricature that no one needs to tell me that it was adapted from a manga.

so, 1 episode is enough for me of the weird experience
i don't want to GET USED to this
