Episode 8 was just as bad.

We got Blueming this year. How was OLM so bad?

You're super generous. I originally put it at a 4, but after the last two episodes, I think I'm going to downgrade it.

I was truly hoping he would be a good actor. Unfortunately that is not how things turned out.

The writing in this is excruciatingly bad. In what world does your lover disappear for a year then reappear with no questions asked? The production is terrible. It feels like a student project. Holland can't act at all, he has one facial expression. It was awkward and disjointed, it made no sense, the leads had zero chemistry. Worst BL I think I've ever seen. People are criticizing Love Class for some of its flaws, and it's still 10x better than this. The only positive at all was Han Gi Chan.

I don't think he was ever actively hitting on JiWoo. He was just trying to get along with his assignment partner at first. But because he found JiWoo to be "adorable" he kept on being affectionate without thinking and then he would catch himself, pull his hand back, turn away, leave. He had a conflict within himself that he wasn't always winning, obviously.

I think it's because someone who is gay can doubt that a up-until-then straight person is seriously interested in a relationship with them. They might think it's just novelty or a mild crush or sense of adventure? But no one wants to be another person's experiment.

It's on dramacool now

Another commenter had the theory that the prof was the crazy stalker. It actually made a lot of sense. I was low-key disappointed it was just a rando.

Just showed up on DC

They made us spend time watching them shop for ingredients, but nothing from the actual contest itself. So bad.

What? Tommy's a millionaire? Omg, it's so bad I missed this small detail. Wth?

I feel like this show has not done Holland's career any favours. His singing didn't make me want to buy any of his albums, his acting made me not want to watch anything with him in it ever again. Even his makeup, hair, and styling made him look more like a homeless person than an idol. At least Han Gi Chan held his own with what he had to work with. I'll watch him again, hopefully in something better.

When thinking about the writing for this show, the words "dumpster fire" come to mind.

I just saw another commenter say it's already up on myasiantv, so I'm going to go check it out. EDIT: yes, it's there already.

Also, that series is the prequel to the movie "His" where you see the same characters about 10 years later, so overall things aren't rushed and get wrapped up.

It's already out on Gagaoolala, but on DC it will get posted at midnight PST, so in about 8 hours. Those are the only 2 sites I know about.

On DC new episodes have been dropping right at midnight PST. Nine hours to go ☹️

Apparently it's 6 total. They're being released one per day, so by Wednesday it'll be done.

Yes, it's so good. I have no idea how they're going to wrap things up in 2 episodes.

I've been thinking about this too. But movies are often shorter than 120 minutes and manage to have deep story lines. Is it because of the necessity of chunking it up into episodes that keeps things this way?
