a bit disappointed in the mingkit scene. they didn’t even speak. i hope this isn’t all we get from their story in the upcoming season as well. looking back on it actually, while their story was enjoyable, it was a bit rushed. they left several things up in the air. most notable, they never really talked about beam and kit lying about dating after mingkit’s first kiss. they just dropped the issue. that feels a bit sloppy to me.
they left out book scenes that would have helped flesh out their characters as well in my opinion. for example, kit accidentally sending an ily sticker to ming.
also, i’m confused. what exactly happened to wayo. was he r*ped and drugged or was it only a hickey? there are 2 different versions of events according to a comment below and what someone said on twitter.
i think for people who have never read the book, there are a lot of instances where things are quite unclear like this. i don’t pay much attention to the other couples, but one example of this for me would be phayo’s first time. i dont think it needed to be more explicit or anything, but they could have said something that would have more clearly illustrated that they actually had sex opposed to just fooled around or something.
overall, i enjoyed the episode and the series of course! but yeah, these little issues have been bugging me.
I instantly forgot everything I've watched when I saw it.
ive been thinking that they’re the best actors on the series tbh. but like you said lol, it’s hard to separate bias.
either way, i think joong started off a bit rocky in the earlier episodes, but by now his acting is really good, second only to nine’s. and nine, well his micro expressions are amazing. he keeps improving every episode. by far the best actor of the cast.
Ok one thing they REALLY need to fix is the speed of the delivery of their lines. They take WAY too long to talk…
i honestly haven’t noticed LOL, but that may be bcs im only half paying attention while watching since i’m usually tweeting about the show while i wait for mingkit
i know they basically confirmed season 3, but i don’t feel too excited tbh lol. mingkit/joongnine are my favourite, and i don’t see them getting too much screentime. will be crossing my fingers tho
i honestly don’t care whether the show has kissing scenes or not; they’re not necessary for me to enjoy a romance, but the way people are talking about pretty simple physical expressions of affection (like deep kisses) in BL like it’s so sinful and obscene is really annoying and reads homophobic tbh. like is there all this debate and energy when it’s a straight drama? i don’t think so. people need to stop oversexualising everything gay.
ok i commented similar but i didn’t wanna be a debby downer, so i deleted lol. i’m very sad about this! and…
yeah i know, but i guess it’s hard for me to imagine her not realising their potential when she was writing these stories lol.
and if not while writing, not realising after her first couple books were published, when i’m sure the comments would have started to come in (assuming she didn’t release all the books at once).
Mingkit confession scene ends up a lot sweeter than how I imagine them in the novel (not that I'm complaining).…
ok i commented similar but i didn’t wanna be a debby downer, so i deleted lol. i’m very sad about this! and if there’s a season 3, and they barely show up, i question if i’ll even watch it lol. mingkit really are the stars of the series for me.
like liz kind of said tho, i can’t believe the author lowkey wastes her best couples lol. phayo’s boring why are they 97% of the focus.
The executive producer basically said in a tweet that there will be a season 3!! I said it from the start that…
i’m still mentally scarred from all the drama that happened with 2moons and LBC lol. i’m too scared to hope for a s3 even tho they basically confirmed it
i think i figured out why i don’t care about phayo. it’s NOTHING against benearth. they’re cute. i think it’s bcs theyre already in love with each other and we don’t really get to see how that happens. thinking about it, my favourite part of watching a romance (gay/les or straight) is watching at least one of the two in the couple fall in love with the other and getting to see the process of that. i only care what happens to the couple after they’re in a relationship once i’ve seen that “beginning”. otherwise i usually don’t build that emotional attachment to them that makes me...care.
i usually don’t care for phayo but they were actually really cute this episode! i truly enjoyed their scenes.
forth/pavel’s acting is also getting really good! i think he and kit/nine are the most natural so far.
speaking of kit, i was super happy to see mingkit this episode as well! they scared me when they kept them out of the spotlight. hopefully, they didn’t cut out that super passionate kiss that’s suppose to happen in the car though. it looks like they have kit’s brother interrupt before anything happens, but maybe that’s just the editing
i truly don’t understand why people are saying this drama is realistic lol. for me, it’s just as unrealistic as super fluffy bl’s. it’s just unrealistically angsty and melodramatic instead of unrealistically happy go lucky.
this isn’t hate per se, just my personal observation. in fact, i think it’s good to have variety in bl’s, so ToL has it's place imo

i hope joongnine get their own series sigh.
