I binge watched this for the second time and liked it even more than the first time. I have watched over
50 BLs in the last two years and where there were multiple couples at
least one of the couples
split up or there was an
ex girlfriend always lurking around making trouble. In
a lot of series there is at
least one homophobic
parent. Also, the only series I can remember where the couple actually
stayed together until old
age was Life, Love On the
Line(movie). It made me
feel really good to see all
four couples still together
after college and faithful
to one another in spite of
their issues.

I binge watching for the second time. Love it. It’s short but in my opinion
captures the angst and
anxiety of being a young
teenager. So much happens during those
early years….first love,
rejection. ambivalence over ones identity, peer
pressure, issues with parents, the need for
independence….And somehow this series addresses each in a very
lovely but subtle way. The cast was awesome especially the mls. The contrast in their parents was handled in a realistic way. I had a friend. Her
grandfather would lecture her harshly and make her
stand in the corner to reflect on her life. He was
wealthy. My parents were
not. Our house was a safe
haven for her. Sometimes
she would climb our cherry
tree and just sit. I still remember how happy she
seemed in those moments.
About Youth is a refreshing reflection of those evolutionary years. Also I personally love the
music. I found it calming.

Wow turns out Suiwan is
a real psychopath. Hope
they wrap her part up and
throw her in a deep hole
somewhere. Really thought Ohm did a great
job and I’m such a fan of
Fluke I just love him. I may
be the only one but I actually like the music.

Just finished the last episode and personally
I loved it! No heavy drama.
Just focusing on the future
and the joy of living ones
truth. There were some
clear messages sent and
received with hope for
a better future for all.
Take care and be well.

I guess it’s time for a little bit of bl fluff. As long as the
airhead shipping female character has limited
screen time I may be able
to stick around. Also is Fah
on the downlow or the
females just don’t . Lol

Lol I really like your number 3 the most. As I was listening to her I kept thinking what
a narcissistic asshole she is. And
I agree about the
staff. I didn’t like
Never Have I Ever
games when I was
young and naive. I
cringe every time
that’s included in
a bl series. I would
have bailed too. Even her so called
friend was too busy . She should be in fine caustic,
toxic manipulative
form next week.

It seems like Ing has suffered so much and so
has Wang. I just want them both to have a happy ending together. The mother needs to leave and
go somewhere and get a
life. It appears as if both
Ing and the father sacrificed so much in trying to live according to
what social conventions
say. Sadly there are still
so many not able to live
their truth.

Oh my God next week is going to be crazy! Imagine
having lost your husband to this man and now the same man has captivated your son! What revelations will we get next week when the mother shares her own
perspective on In and her
husband. Another riveting
episode!

Good advice…I also have learned not to put so much weight on the ratings. There were series that
had low ratings but I watched and
absolutely enjoyed
and vice versa there were shows that had high ratings and I still
can’t figure out how.

Unfortunately there are people out there who are
not hesitant about taking advantage of a person who
is just a nice person….I know someone who seems to never have money but is always the first one at the restaurant. Met
a mutual friend and as soon as her
name came up the consensus was she
was always coming up short so of course being good
people someone would offer to pay her tab. And she’s
no teenager. Loved
the advice Pao gave Seeiw.

Lol…love
this…I agree.

This episode was so good. I’m so glad they didn’t drag the Seeiw/Sand fiasco out
and letting Seeiw hear what kind of guy Sand was for himself was perfect. Also, who wouldn’t want
a best friend like Cake. I
loved it when his father
asked him how the other
guy looked and when Cake said he looked twice as bad
his dad fist bumped him. The acting has been great.
Prem and Peak have really
stepped up their game. Kudos to each. Of course,
Earth never disappoints.
Santa is just a natural. So far I even like the female
roles. They are usually depicted in BLs as being so
manipulative and desperate. Either that or
they are just dumb as a rock like Champoo in
Love By Chance. I know we
are in for a lot of angst and
drama in the next few episodes. Hopefully we won’t get an open ending.
I hope Earth gets a happy ending this
time around.

I agree. It felt so
sincere. There
was nothing sexual
about it in my opinion. It was more than that. It
was about mutual
affection and concern for one another. And isn’t
that really what
true love is?

Thank you for that wonderful perspective. My dad was not my biological dad. When I was around five, the year I started kindergarten he legally adopted me. From what I gather just doing that
was enough
for both
sides of the family.
I didn’t even find how I was
adopted
by him until I was an adult. His side of the family
seemed to
just forget
about me
not being
blood related. When he walked me down the
aisle at my
wedding
they were
all there
cheering me on as they had
always done. So I
guess I see
where that
changing of the name carries
great significance to a family.

I was thinking the very same thing. The acting has been top caliber.
I have watched each of these young actors in
other series and it
is so exciting to
see the growth.

Well put. I
agree.

This is just so sweet. I feel it captures the challenges
of being young and starting to evolve into the
you that you want to be. I
can’t believe we are almost
at the end.

It’s obvious by the comments that we have some real
literary aficionados here who recognize and
appreciate true art
when they see it.
I wouldn’t even
classify this as a bl.
To do so minimizes its beauty. As I watched
ep 5 it was like
watching a two man play. When it was over I didn’t
want to leave the
theatre. I was literally clapping at
the performance.

Just finished episode 5 and all I can do is just catch my
breathe. This is acting and
writing at its best. Just two
people who exude such
sensual tension with just
a word or simple gesture.
I love how they talk about
lines as it relates to
architecture but knowing
all the time that it’s not
about architecture at all.
It just raises our curiosity
even more. What led the
best friend/father to drink? Were lines crossed
and if so by whom? Will
history repeat itself? What
role did the mother play
years ago and what role
will she play again? She is
very possessive of her
son. Unlike his father will
he have the strength to
fight for his love ? Likewise
will In run away again
or cross the line he dared
not cross years ago? The
coming episodes are sure
to be explosive. I can’t wait.

Whenever I see a female
character like Pink I just
feel like the writer went
brain dead and decided to
take the lazy way out and
throw in an annoying frivolous female. The first
episode was just okay. At
least the cast is cute.
