An 8 is a good rating. Even a 7 is a good rating. Some people just think that if something has good elements or is overall enjoyable, it should automatically be a 10 across the board. It's not uncommon for fans on MDL to attack reviewers for saying they enjoyed a show but rating it "low." There's a frequent argument that if you're not enjoying it wholeheartedly, you should drop. And then that logic gets applied to ratings as well.

D'awwww. They so cute. Look at them being all domestic. And Nozue trying out a new hobby. And Togawa just spontaneously speaking his mind after seeing Nozue so casually adorable. Love them.

Also, there's 2 different translations in that video. The one on the video, and the one at the top of the comments. It's always interesting when that happens. Personally i prefer the one in the comments though. It felt more in line with the characters and reactions imo.

I would've liked a better ending though. Firstly, Nozue's response. Secondly, them eating that finished product apple pie (even if it wasn't that good).

I mean, it literally just started airing. We don't know yet what the subplots are gonna be.
But both titles are through the same studio. So it could very well just be them utilizing their signed actors. Many studios do so.

While I get what you are saying about familiarizing audiences with the ship in advance, i think it's wrong to consider them a shipping package deal.

Yea, it may have been a touch sudden, but it was in character for them. I didnt mind it really.

Agreed.

Yes. ^-^
We even get a montage of the OG's scenes.

Du Kai Wei is the first boyfriend who went missing.
Xu Zhi Ran is the ML.

Officially, GagaOOlala tends to get the episodes up the fastest. It's up right now over there.

It kept going in and out. There were hints of it, like the chemistry was building up. And then it would fall off and deflate.

Thank you! Finally got around to adding it here ^-^

I started this one when it started airing and immediately went "It's meh. I don't see a lot of promise in these first 1-2 episodes. And there are better currently airing dramas on right now."

But I kept watching. Why? Because it wasn't worse than "Senpai, Danjite Koidewa!"It felt wrong to make this the only Drama Shower drama that I don't complete, when there was a worse one. Also, it's a habit now to have a Thursday night drama on GagaOOlala (even before the year-long drama shower).

But this drama right here. It snuck up on me. I'm literally borderline devastated this is over. And I can't even really explain why right now.

Anyways, I recommend.

FL's first boyfriend has been missing for 7 years, a loss that FL still hasn't gotten over. When her family forces her to go on a blind date, she meets the ML who is gay and has a peculiar connection with her first love and is frequently possessed by him. It's a tale of loss and love that reportedly transcends gender and sexuality.

Aesthetically stunning.

And i love how straightforward they are. They know exactly what they’re doing. Theyre not shy, unsure, or playing coy:
“I’m sure you know my preference.”
“It wont be complicated?”
“What happens tonight ends tonight.”

I, for one, am ALL FOR cat food PPL if it leads to more cats on the screen. Pretty please? 🥺

I dont think theyre dating. I think it’s one of those weird undefined/expected-not-actualized relationships. 🤔

Ouch. The exploration of living low-income and low-social status hits hard. It’s different, but it’s also the same.

Li Ming is hot-tempered, but i wouldnt say he’s not nice or understanding. Because he seems perfectly fine with others. Up until they try to walk all over him. And Jim lets them and openly doubts Li Ming. We saw it not only with Heart and his parents, but even in the opening scene with the unnamed customer trying to say Li Ming shortchanged her. It really grates on your nerves, especially as a teenager.

What did they say?

It's a debatable topic, depending on region, culture, and subculture. Many members of the LGBTQ+ community in the west have reclaimed that word as an umbrella term for the entire LGBTQ+ community (but don't like people from outside of the community to use it). Both younger and older generations. Some words are not universally considered slurs (as can be seen in the cases of several other marginalized communities that have reclaimed their slurs for internal use). Of course, you are totally entitled to still view it as a slur, but not all LGBTQ+ individuals do.

Did you already put in the edit request for it?

I love that episode 1 recreated one of the special bonus clips from after season 1: https://youtu.be/x_wS2PMr2CA

The fact that they still feel like the same characters as season 1. 🥰
