That's such a minor point in the plot and series to me so I'm sad that it ruined the whole series for you, but we all see and consume things differently.
To me the focus and point of the series was to tell the story of our main CirPhu ( I felt it was done and told well) and in telling that there are subplots to advance that story that are then left unanswered/unfinished because they have served their purpose for the main plot :D

For now it's available to buy on Vimeo: vimeo.com/ondemand/theboynextworldspecial

It's on vimeo: vimeo.com/ondemand/theboynextworldspecial

Definitely agree that this is the best MAME series (in many ways; directing, cinematography, acting and and and :D )

Hah yeah this is one of those plots/stories that need to be payed attention to fully understand what's going on :D

If you ever feel like it watch the whole series again and you might see glues and things you missed since ep 1 that now make more sense :D

No problem :)
In the series episode 8 tells you a lot about the parallel world thing, if you want to watch that again as well while waiting for the special episode :)

The series is really focused on ourCirPhu story so the parallel world thing and many others are touch one just in passing or not that in depth so I can see where there might be some confusion

To be clear parallel worlds do exist and we see quite a few of them.
The whole series ends in a parallel word (that the special episode will focus on).

Cir just thinks at first that what he sees are dreams aand goes with the parallel world route to get to the fast lane with Phu I guess with the lie of coming from a parallel world himself and being in a relationship already for years :D :D
Would NOT recommend this method of approaching someone in real life, but in a series I think it creates an interesting premise for the story

Hih I'm happy we/I really got an update from you :)
I'm happy you finished it and thought it was worth the watch :)

Yes to the totality of your comment :D

I can see your point there fully, and agree with the last episode being full of things to be solved and that almost always feels rushed and did here as well.
Yes being a BossNoeul stan (I am as well, strongly) doesn't mean having to agree with everything the story did or what Mame does. I would have definitely done some things differently.
I agree with the idea of leaving something extra and juicy for the boxset only (since we are spending the money on it) but definitely not scenes you've already shown to be there .... her strategy here with cutting scenes entirely or cutting some scenes really short might actually hurt her and the series and therefore BossNoeul and I'm not a fan of that at all.

Oh and getting back to something you wrote above about a NC scene been more appropriately placed on ep 9 after CirPhu reunite --- I hope and relatively strongly believe that might be a cut scene for the boxset (we'll see if I'm right later), because I agree it would make sense there. I was surprised we didn't even see a kiss after the emotional reunion and confession...

My suggestion is that give it a shot and see for yourself if it's for you.
As you have seen tastes differ and sometimes a lot :D

But here are some of my thoughts that might help you decide if you want to try watching:
-In my opinion it was a very solid bl series that was beautifully shot and directed.
-The acting from the main couple was strong with believable chemistry so I feel that that's half the battle won there already :D
-It has some fantasy elements but the main focus is on romance (might be a positive or a negative thing depending on personal tastes).
-The plot might seem confusing at first or at times if you don't pay close enough attention, so if you like stories where you have to stay alert this might be for you.
-The plot has some typical bl tropes in it but that is countered with new and interesting elements that are more front and center.
-It has some behavior that could bee seen as toxic/problematic, but the series doesn't really sell it like that or dwell in it (I personally wasn't really bothered with it and took it as the series told us and left it at that ----but again if you are only after greenest of flag characters might be a little problem for)
-Has a pretty good balance in my opinion of dramatic scenes and lighthearted once, but it definitely has some heavy scenes and subject (again might be a plus or a minus in your book)


Please let us know if you did start the series and what did you think if you did :)

Hope you won't mind me jumping on the conversation :)
I feel like very series will always have some subplots/sub-points that are left open, only because they are just that sub-things to the main story ans we ain't got time for all that :D
I liked that we mainly stayed with our CirPhu and their story .

I'm 100% sure Ozone will be fine and the mom has met her match :D I'm just mad at the dad for still being so mean that the son has to do it.
Oh and if I just got back with someone I'm madly in love with that I thought I lost forever having passionate sex seems like the logical think to do :D so I didn't feel like it was oddly placed (and my brain stays focused on the main story/couple mostly so I don't sweat too much about the side characters) :D :D

MAME universe for sure has some new material to work with should she choose to :D

Can't wait to see more of the PhayuCir and GlassesPhu story on the 30th, seems like a fun switch of Phu being the one having the crush first!!

The scar thing is possible because there are parallel worlds.
But our mainCir is not from one he just lied about coming from one and yes has followed Phu since High school and that's how he knows so much about Phu (what he thought were just vivid dreams in the beginning were actually things that happened in another world with the Cir who was in the white room with mainCir --> we also saw flashes of many other worlds as well, like the CEOCir)
The Cir without the scar and had his hair up is a totally different Cir from yet another world...we saw him wake up back in his own world and Phu (with glasses) behind his door

Do you mean which episodes have NC scenes in them?
Episodes 5,6,7 and 10 have NC scenes in the uncut version (+it is safe to assume that the special episode, that will be released on the 30th of March, will have at least one NC scene)

No problem :)

Yeah I got that for your answer sometimes simple is best :)
she can choose between the simple or long answer depending what she wants :D

It's going to be on Vimeo on the 30th (you have to buy it though)

It might be possible that sometime later the special episode will be also on iQiyi,
Love in the air has its special there now and it was first sold on Vimeo also and of course was part of boxset before being available on iQIyi if my memory serves me right

And at first he didn't know what he saw was a whole different world but just thought of it as a very lifelike dream

Basically what I got was that there are endless worlds and in them all Cir and Phu are meant to be together (Phu is the light in Cirs life in them all) ---- so they are different but same same :D
It is the mission of current Cir to make a newer Cir find his Phu and be with him --- mostly this seems to be done via ''dreams'' (the guiding Cirs life with Phu) that push Cir towards their own Phu.

Parallel worlds are real, ourCir just first thinks what he is seeing is just a dream/his imagination of the reality he wants with Phu.
Won't say more if you want to watch more are see what the series shows/tells you, but feel free to ask more if you want.

We don't know why Jin has the power (maybe MAME is sawing it for a story of its own and here the focus stays on CirPhu)

Hah that happens when you are not the focus of the story :D But Ozone clearly had made up his mind to take Cirs place and face the mom, and I have no doubt that he can make her go crazy :D Would be a good idea or start for a new story with him for sure (maybe he and the fiance do fall in love :D :D )
