He was 15 when this started,I can only hope there's no kiss and nc scene here
Yup everyone went thought that stage, but no 15/16 will believe it till they experience it themselves. Wisdom come with age as they say. Some also try to excuse it as his parent allowed it - like some parents literally don't sell their kinds for money ... but as i wrote in my main comment i am now waiting for scandal because there definitely will be some creepy one
Addicted have a special place in my heart so when Thailand announced the remake it was like Christmas coming early for me. I watched as Newyear took part in casting, and later big event as they introduced 3 main actors. YES 3 people, because at that time they introduced just Mac, Newyear and Jur. Was I disappointed? Kinda with such a young cast we will surely get something more like Stay with me rather than something more truthful to novel. So when they quietly announced August taking the lead my jaw literally dropped. Age difference aside, Mac is minor staring in 18+ novel he can't legally read but someone thought it was okay for him to act NC scenes he can't legally watch? Make it make sense... There is a good reason that since years back ships with age differences ( or if one of them was minor) usually did fake kissing and no NC scenes. Even if it isn't illegal it's something just so morally wrong that no director who truly cares about his work would agree to bury his work under such unnecessary controversy. So for me its not if, but already a matter of when something creepy about this set will be reported.

probably they are minors... I think we all know people who dated adults in highschool and thought nothing of it till we reached that age and realized how creepy it truly was
I know I am late to the party but I just finished first episode. I almost fell in love till it turned into poor…
On episode 4 and i definitely need to read novel because something is very off in character portrayal, storytelling or editing - not that its bad but it just don't make sense - Joe wanting to move to bigger place to have space for the two of them - he already live in freaking big apartment that look almost empty - Ming falling in love with Tong by action scene where only back is shown... Like Really? - trying to white wash Ming in just 3 episode while at this point we should be all for Joe - after all we as watcher need to support him leaving i can mention several others about Ming and Joe dynamic and i am still pretty early in the series . No idea what exactly is off until i read novel but from what i see with just some small changes it could be truly amazing series
I know I am late to the party but I just finished first episode. I almost fell in love till it turned into poor bottom get played by rich top cliche... Maybe Its too early to tell but Ming character read to me as spoiled needy rich brat - Up really went beyond with this role but due of how good Up act this role Joe character stopped making sense to me - he is a working adult with years of experience in industry but get played by recently graduated rich boy, he even switched his sexual preference for someone he meet not 24h before.. Anyway going to watch episode 2, maybe Joe will suddenly get back his brain cells
30 minutes and only 8 eps is just dumb .... Everything seems missing.....
not really... in manga they have psychical relationship since chapter one so if you look at this from this perspective story make more sense. But you are right by removing that aspect i also find it confusing how they are at let's move together stage...
Ok I will be first to admit that reading manga before watching this was not the smartest idea ( I also watched Jdrama when it first come out), If I didn't read it I would have enjoyed it more as it stand I have several bones to pick - styling, its another show where gmmtv actors have exactly the same hairstyles, Tay, Gun, Win etc let them change hairstyles for roles or even wear a wig... - Director X can't do comedy, he is great in emotional bits but comedy is not his forte - scriptwriting, if you have so many volumes of manga why recycle the original Jdrama plot points? You had new great plots from author and decided to rely on adaptation? Just Why?
To sum it up the less you know of source material the more you will probably enjoy this drama.
Just how this show have a ranking of 8.1? I basically forced myself to watch till episode 6 (if It wasn't for actors I would give up after second episode) and finally thrown in the towel. I can enjoy idealistic uni cute fluff with simple storyline but at least make it up in cinematography and editing. I just don't feel any love was put in producing this show...
This show have a big identity crisis, it just can't decide what it wants to be. We have a group of various genres authors ( some rich while other need to deliver food for money but still considered popular? ) who for some reason decide to team up to write Bl novel - why? Its good question. Drama have 3 main parts - Real life of authors and their love drama - Ancient BL story they are writing - Table discussion in PJ - that is supposed to showcase their ideas/ message group as they cowrite novel.
The idea of this show is not bad but its executions kinda is. I find their real-life storyline very bland (It just nothing new and we can find something very similar in dozens of works) while the story they write and discuss has potential. Personally I would drop whole real-life author drama and make some system force them to rewrite existing work ( according to their own story idea) which would put some stakes why they are even doing it in the first place. They could also showcase how some minor changes in some scenes change whole outcome witch would be fun to watch if done right.
This is so bad i don't get the praise... The show is supposed to be about Ryan and Jane but they barely have any…
hmm I get you - you come for romance but received intern company comedy with bl backdrop. you need to switch expectations or drop it because you will not get romance - romance from this one
Ep 2? Lol. Too early to conclude. But its on u. It has good rating better than cooking crush for damn reasons…
I am currently at episode 5 and like i wrote in my first comment this show just scream Damage Control to me by how much they improved quality. The leads also don't love eo at first sight and there was no random I love you deux ex machina so their relationship progress in really nice way. Intership bit is also very relastic. If you have any memories from your won job hunting and first job it will definitely bring back memories

took me really long time to force myself to finish cc so it kinda putt me off for this drama. Seeing viewers numbers on Yt it seems like I am not the only one
Just finished the second episode and I would be kinda proud of GMMTV if it wasn't so funny. After the literal crush that was cooking crush, this show just screams damage control and in term of quality, I saw till now is everything that CC is supposed to be.
Now I understand why the series is boring. They basically drained all the substance from the manga. In reality,…
yup, i think you put it really nicely, there wasn't much of plot to begin with and by removing their psychical relationship they also delated main seeling point of manga
I was curious so I checked out manga, turn out skin-care drama from episode 2 and some other plot points are faithful to manga... but they still made some changes - our 2 leads had s*x in the first chapter, glad they changed it since it was hardly consensual but there was no reason to swing so much other way and make them act almost like blushing virgins. If they were already making changes they could also improve plot, I am sure anyone working in cosmetic sales could share some interesting stories. I also have kinda of problem with Mamiya character, his styling and behavior just don't match someone who would be successful in his industry. It's his dream job so its hardly believable he would not try to be more stylish ( In manga he kinda is), him acting kinda gloomy and childish also don't suit someone who would be popular with clients.
long, slow and uneventful if it didn't commit these 3 crimes it would be decent drama. Someone should control director New and tell him - you want 12 episodes? No do it in 8!! 50 min per episode? No, fit it in 40. just this small changes would improve most of his recent works, because it's become more and more clear to me his recent works are disappointed compared to his early ones
while I liked the first 4 episodes, the next 3 of backstory did nothing but piss me off, I know Non is a victim…
Finished and I kinda like it but I think they made big mistake in storytelling. While backstory was very important it shouldn't be told from Non POV, it will lead only to victim blaming as I wrote in comment above - level of stupid decision-making is kinda hard to get over. The big switch between a typical slasher story to a revenge backstory was also kinda hard to get used when I already knew from slasher part they will not end well and with just few minutes of episode 5 it was clear our group of friends was not angels. I think if they mixed backstory with slasher part like in episodes 9- 11 it would make drama overall better while telling Non story from perspective of bullies as they remember their own part.
while I liked the first 4 episodes, the next 3 of backstory did nothing but piss me off, I know Non is a victim but for someone supposed smart how many time he can repeat the same mistake? still meeting By CHOICE people who bullied him, make him get involved with criminals and almost landed him in jail and he still didn't learn anything and decide to hung out with them ... with this level of stupid decision making something truly bad happening to him is just not if but when
Some also try to excuse it as his parent allowed it - like some parents literally don't sell their kinds for money ... but as i wrote in my main comment i am now waiting for scandal because there definitely will be some creepy one
I watched as Newyear took part in casting, and later big event as they introduced 3 main actors. YES 3 people, because at that time they introduced just Mac, Newyear and Jur. Was I disappointed? Kinda with such a young cast we will surely get something more like Stay with me rather than something more truthful to novel. So when they quietly announced August taking the lead my jaw literally dropped.
Age difference aside, Mac is minor staring in 18+ novel he can't legally read but someone thought it was okay for him to act NC scenes he can't legally watch? Make it make sense...

- Joe wanting to move to bigger place to have space for the two of them - he already live in freaking big apartment that look almost empty
