First time using Telegram. ^^ Thank you for creating the group and for sharing. <3

You're welcome.

You realize that the squiggle is supposed to be Achi's ear and the little dot next to it his mole?

I am watching this drama together with my best friend, so we are still having a good time. But yeah, some higher ups at Mandee should definitely look at what has gone wrong during the production of the show. The strange attemps at humour that don't land, all the awkward stares and moments of silence, the character of Jade that feels so extreme in his strange behaviour, that feeling of just being a very cheap show... sometimes it feels as if the director decided to just leave the set and let a random bystander take over and decide on where the show should go. The sad thing is that we know from Mandee's other dramas that they are able to pull off a good-looking and fun show - so why does this one feel so awkwardly put together?

"Thank you for teaching me so many times that I must have a Plan B."

the finale is supposed to be airing at 10pm kst (so in a little less than 3 1/2 hours). The NOW app actually notified me last Thursday, so I was able to watch the semi-finale live via my phone/ the app.

I watched the 10th episode live via the NOW app on my phone (if that helps you in some way)

The thing that irritates me the most is the way the votes (via the app) and events of the show are so out of sync. Like I was voting for Shiryu on the daily and then last week I read a spoiler that he had already left the show. So I checked the people I could vote for via the app... and Shiryu was still there. As we all know, he had clearly left the show indeed, so why was I able to vote for him when that vote didn't matter anymore? The same thing happened with Yacht and another participant before. I understand problems with shooting the episodes, cutting everything and then airing the episodes - but then again it's not really my problem, I am not the one who decided that the show would work this way. So instead of giving my votes to someone who could actually use them, I repeatedly voted for people who had already left the show days or weeks ago. It just feels really shady and isn't helped by the fact that we don't know the number of votes. For all I know they could just make numbers up and we wouldn't even know. Sorry, just had to get this out of my system. As many others have stated, these boys deserve a much better show than what they were given with Fantasy Boys.

Thank you for your reply. It's kind of sad that it's not possible for us to enjoy the complete episodes, but I still feel very thankful for the abridged version and that they are slowly being uploaded with English subs. For now I will continue watching the episodes on Youtube and hope to gain some more information about the different students from them.

I really enjoy this darker twist on the casting show format - also I just love listening to/looking at Avu-chan.. I wonder if the 20minutes episodes on Youtube are the actual episodes though, or if their are like abbreviated versions of the original episodes. Also the first music video "Rondo" of RYUGUJO is gonna drop next weekend.

Well, for many people a cancer diagnosis comes out of nowhere - it did for me and for my dad as well. You live your life normally and you didn't do anything bad (like smoking or drinking alcohol) and still you can get cancer. Also they hinted at her getting sick during an earlier episode - in that moment it was obvious that it would lead to something bigger. My best friend and me immediately wrote to each other "Ah, something terrible is gonna happen".

Judging from the first episode, watching UWMA beforehand would make more sense. There are many things that wil be unclear if you didn't watch the original. Like in "Between Us" Pharm, Manow and Team are just friends and you don't know anything about how they met.... if must feel weird if you didn't watch UWMA.

Awww, that's awesome - it kind of made me so happy to read your comment. It's such a special feeling when you have found a perfect drama like this. <3 As for similiar drama, I can only recommend according to my own taste. I felt that "Genderless Boyfriend" was a very beautiful drama, although it's a straight romance. It's about a young woman who is in a relationship with a young man who likes to dress up in skirts and cute accessories. The drama is about their relationship but also about expressing yourself in this modern age... it has very funny moments but also stops for more serious bits. It probably helps that the mangaka of the original is at home in the world of BL. ^^ Other than that, "Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai VS Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko" (which was recommended above) is a great recommendation. Very silly and hilarious and despite all the craziness still has its romantic moments. I watched both seasons together with my best friend and we had a really good time. ^^

Since nobody has mentioned it so far: "Kamisama no ekohiiki" which has quickly become my favourite Japanese BL. A thoughtful and deep storyline, beautiful camera work, lots of funny and emotional moments, and such a perfect couple. It really is a very special show so definitely recommended for everyone who likes BL.

There are also the Jesse McCartney poster and the Fleabag poster in Cake's room. I guess we just have to overlook those weird lil' things ^^

Just finished the first episode and absolutely loved the camera work here - the series is shot in such a beautiful way, just looking at it feels very satisfying. Also the tension between Wang and In was something else, the way they teased each other or the glances they exchanged. Also there is something ... magical about this drama. Like of course it is set in reality but it is as if a mystery is lurking in the background. I really enjoyed this one and am looking forward to what future episodes have to offer. <3

In this case please make it obvious that you are asking for official links - while reading your comment I thought you were asking for illegal links, so apologies.

It's only officially available on Gagaoolala so it's some weird behaviour to ask for other links. They make it available for us (like many of their other great shows) so the least we can do is watch the show via their site officlally and support what they do.

This is the drama that my best friend and me watch together each Sunday... *sigh* I feel a bit sorry for him but at least we get to watch Boun and Prem. I just didn't expect the script to be so bad/confusing... let's just hope for some sexy boxing scenes and some sweet BounPrem moments during the second half of the drama's run

I am using Gagaoolala for watching the drama, they are usually very punctual when it comes to releasing new episodes. :)
