Can you send me the link for eng subs too please? Ty!

A very good episode. I just hope the writing subverts everybody's expectations about jaeil and sabi and all 4 of them remain good friends.

Maybe the show will find.a way to revert on what its potraying right now with later episodes but what the characters are doing in this ep does not leave a good taste in my mouth especially how they're treating the mc as if she is the bane of everyone's existence bcos of some weight.

Whats with the whiplash? The cuts are so random and they just randomly get sad and angry and suddenly scene switches to them being happy again. Storyline didnt make sense at all for this ep, the structure and pacing was messed up. I enjoyed their moments so much, would've liked more instead of this kind of ending. The silence after someone asked them a question was getting on my nerves too. Buildup of tension was really good but they wasted it.

Here you people go again with the "reality" of all people being straight. The fact is that this was NOT a story about those people, it was a story about Heesu. You kept talking about the passions of the side character but you couldn't point out anything about seungwon yourself. Think on why that is! Straight people around heesu should have been depicted as side characters of HIS story, not him being a side to his friend's love story and character development. It is not necessary at all for queer stories be buried under straight romances just to their stories can go mainstream, and if thats the way you want to achieve that, then the stories will forever be treated as side pieces to heteronormativity. You talked about fleshing out the sisters. How? Because they gave us one scene about each of them and their relationships? At least their dynamic was was good enough. You can stamp on whatever meaning you want to the tennis and guitar storylines, but they were both shallow and just a tool to add more to the people who were not supposed to the main mcs. The story didn't discuss and flesh out any heavy topics which queer teenagers actually go through except the last few scenes of him coming out. They keep chickening out of that. Even with endless metaphors you cant save a messy and contrived story.

They never intended to use the story to depict queer people as a normal part of the world, there is no need for added straight characters to do that, what should've been done is building the world around the existing queer characters and depicting it without taking away time from their story. They added extra couples just to make the drama more digestible to the tv execs. Queer life is not just romance, but its also not an excuse to use other characters and add nonsensical storylines, its about them discovering themselves. The only 2 queer characters this show bothered to add, they didnt even flesh out one of them. Seungwon was a bland character with no story given to him, they didnt even show more of who he was in favor of the tennis and music career of others. Doesnt that seem odd to you? We knew next to nothing about one of the queer main mc's except who he had a crush on. Till the end the gay ml was apologizing to the straight friend(who he used to like) for coming out to him, thats not the "heartwrenching gay ml" you are making him out to be. The story was messy, pacing issues were bad, screentime distribution was even worse not to mention how they handled the characters and adapted them. The creative liberties they took with the source material were terrible. This is a show that should get criticism and i dont get why you are acting otherwise.

Yeah they are still getting posted every 2-3 days. Extras started a few weeks ago.

7 main episodes and others are extras(13 to be exact). The yt channel has all of them with subs

Ah yes i gave the anime a try long ago but didn't like it that much. I find the thai adaptations of jdramas very lacking mostly because keep casting people who don't suit the characters and copy paste the storyline. I love seeing original scripts more, but that has been a rarity in drama world nowadays.

If you read the webtoon you'll know the actual story abt donald, everything is fleshed out and makes sense, their friendship development is way better too.

Is top form an adaptation of already existing jdrama or are u talking about the manga? Because all the others had a jdramas and not just the manga to adapt. I would love to watch the japanese version of top form if it exists.

Trailers many times end up being misleading. Why are you so aggressive about someone checking out the eps and not liking it?

You dont know how exactly right you were lol.

And even till the end chan was an irredeemable ah and seungwon as a character had no development besides his crush on heesu. What a waste of money and the incredible source material which they just trashed.

Somebody said before in the comments they will confess at minute 37 and the predictions were pretty spot on lmaoo. I thought the production wouldn't go that far but they managed it.

Kinda. I didnt even know about him and now he has 2 dramas airing simultaneously. SM is doing its best lol.

Nope. Not at all. The story was so rushed, no characters were fleshed out except for grey and remained one dimensional throughout all 8 episodes. They omitted many characters, merged some of them together to make a believable "friend group" which just didn't stick. Also no backstories or motivations were shown, and they changed the whole personality of donald and his ending. Fight scenes were good enough.

If he wanted to express so badly he should've convyed it in a gentle manner, alone. He instead shouted at him in a hallway. This just goes to show how he doesn't respect his friends, has no empathy and thinks he'll get away with everything(and he has in most part). You're talking about honest friendship as if chan hasn't been a terrible friend for the whole drama.

Doesn't feel like they should be friends even now. CY basically forced and humiliated heesu in front of so many people.

He just suddenly pops up when the writer needs to build up some tension, then he goes back to being a jerk.
