I just found out about this today, and ran to watch both episodes (thank you Manner of Death for making me get a VIP subscription on WeTV)! The premise may not be terribly original -- it's a rather classic BL trope -- but I really liked how it was executed. The acting was really good, the pacing too, audio and visuals are great, and the chemistry between the leads in on point. Consider me officially hooked. More spoilery comments will be posted in hidden reply below.
Maybe? I'm not sure if that's a very good strategy, though. I think it's equivalent to giving out free drug samples…
Yeah, those kinds of dynamics are squicky. I get that some fans have that kink, but it's far too prevalent in BL (at least written BL) and I wish it weren't.
"nothing to do with 2Moons" -- well, it's a 2Moons fanfic, so saying that it has nothing to do with it isn't really…
It's obviously very much a poke in the eye against Motive Village, yes :) But MV has been digging their own grave too with how they are treating their actors and their productions.
What if what we see as manipulative behavior from Yoo-han is just his way of creating a balance in this relationship?…
Maybe? I'm not sure if that's a very good strategy, though. I think it's equivalent to giving out free drug samples (or even forcing them on people), and then insisting on payment when they're addicted. The fact that the aunt has gone away and left Yeon Woo alone for a month means that he's also without a grounding influence.
Okay here's what I suspect is going to happen. They are building up to a cliffhanger ending like 2Moons 2. Which…
"nothing to do with 2Moons" -- well, it's a 2Moons fanfic, so saying that it has nothing to do with it isn't really true. And it's not a coincidence that they cast the actors they did... But it's true that it's unrelated to the production of the 2Moons series proper.
so effing random. One moment they're breaking into some policeman's car as if it was nothing, all set up to find…
Yep, and it's not just a drama trope, it happens in real life too, it's a well-known effect. So this particular scene didn't strike me as random at all -- not like the first drunken kiss at the club, for instance. This time, they've been dancing around each other and flirting for days.
Okay so I just finished this and I loved it sooo muchh. Does anyone maybe have any similar thai bl recommendations?…
To be honest, there's nothing that comes even close. There are good ones, but this is still lightyears above anything else. The ones Markleeinthehouse mentioned are among the better ones. I'd like to add SOTUS. Again, not similar, but top of the crop. He's Coming To Me is also good. You could also try Gaya Sa Pelikula (Like In theThe Movies) from the Philippines.
What a work of art. How often do we see a BL that is this well made, this well written, and this well acted? It's…
I agree, it's worth every penny, if you have the money to spare. I started out watching it without paying, and ended up on Vimeo, paying for every episode, even the ones I'd already watched elsewhere.

I think it's because they have actually worked together before, but none of the others have? Or they may have, but not that I've seen.
