You Make Me Dance's writing is as clumsy as this tho (just a bit less)
I respect your opinion. Still, I love it. It makes me smile and with so much tragedy in my life lately that’s what gets my approval. I’m always open for change so I may look at it again and change my mind. Stay safe.
I just finished watching this series and I must say I loved it. There are just too many reasons why I could not stop watching once I started….maybe it was because the mls were two mature gay men who looked like regular men in their forties….maybe it was because their struggles as an older gay couple was dealt with in such a respectful way….the balance between humor and sadness, uncertainty and longing was right on the mark….And using food as another form of expression was the icing on the cake for me….and maybe it was because we see parents who grew up in another world but who love their son so much it’s their son who has the problem fully accepting who he is…I loved it when the father was the one who railed at him to stop playing with his life….maybe it was seeing gay couples can have straight friends and straight married couples have problems too….maybe it was because I remember my gay male cousin and how we loved him but he came up in a time when he could not enjoy the protections of today. The beautician and the 30 year old reminded me of him and made me smile. To me he wasn’t girly…he was flamboyant and wow did he know fashion. What did I know at 15…I’ve gotten plenty of other maybes but I’ll stop. I know this wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea but for me it was a breath of fresh air. Take care and be well.
Ok I admit I have seen worst…overall I thought the cutest moments are when the two mls are together…. there was too much of the third wheel although …I think they could have explained him away after ep 7 and just showed a cameo with him doing that last photo shot by himself. The best parts in ep 8 was that pink shirt, that kiss, that pink shirt. Would I rewatch again? Yes, on a snowy day( I live in Midwest USA) although whoever did the writing and editing should take a look at Follow My Sunshine and You Make Me Dance.
Lots of physical action…that scene on the rooftop was awesome…loving the interaction between Off and Gun…and our potential second couple had my heart pounding.
I am halfway through this series and I am loving it. It is a masterpiece. If you have ever been around anyone with mental disorders you will surely appreciate the range of emotions reflected in this series. Every nuance, each gesture and expression is so riveting. Kudos to Kim Soo Hyundai and Oh Jung Se as brothers. Also, the actress who plays their landlady and mother of the female therapist has got to be one of the richest support actresses in Korea. Whenever I see her I know I’m in for a treat. And it was so good to see Kwak Dong Yeon from Vincenzo. In fact all the actors/actresses were awesome. Having grown up with individuals with various mental disorders and having observed the impact they have on their caretakers and those around them I found myself laughing one minute and feeling empathy the next. This series hit all the right chords and reminded me it truly is okay not to be okay.
Sometimes I just want a short, sweet love story with no intrusive third party , no filler side story and a happy ending. Something I can binge watch on a cold, snowy day and feel warm and fuzzy. This is it for me.
Both of these young men are riding a wave of success. They are working hard to perfect their craftsmanship. Their vision for the future seems clear. Both already have other projects coming out this year and it’s clear they do not intend to be typecast . I applaud these fine actors. They don’t mind taking support roles if it means professional growth. I’m sure they are pleased with the feedback on this series. It means more opportunities and more money in the bank . Love it!
Is anyone watching this? Is it better than Bad Buddy? Is this BL?
This is not a bl but there is a gay storyline. There are so many layers to this drama. In terms of depth and dealing with real social issues Not 55:15 is a gem.
Personally I was underwhelmed. There were some cute moments but I expected more focus on the two of them . I found the side story with the little boy and his mother tedious. I also could have done without the yada yada yada from the two older guys. The scenes with the girls and two friends were just fillers to me. So they went through all that trouble, declared their love, had sex and then just say see you later friend. So no contact until the “reunion”! I love Ohm and Nanon and I think they did a good job with what they had to work with. But I feel the scriptwriters suddenly changed direction. Seems like too much to clear up in one episode. Usually that means there will be no clear resolution setting the stage for a second season. Of course the two could still end up together but I’m not betting on it.
Well... Not bad, but definitely not good. Feel like some parts of the story are missing (the relationship strat…
I agree. I went back to ep 1 and it seems as if they knew each other previously and there is a flashback to where yeong woo is crying and being consoled by ye bin…so is it a flashback or a flash forward…whatever it is I’m really not looking forward to ep 7&8
I have watched episode 5 & 6 at least three times and the previews for ep 7 are heartbreaking. It looks more and more like this is not going to have a happy ending. I also keep thinking about Ki Jin having the nosebleed in ep 5… does this signal an impending death. I hate it when writers cop out and give us a fatal death or some life threatening disease. Seeing Yeong Woo sobbing on his father’s shoulders just breaks my heart. And I could strangle Hwang. Only two more episodes so I’ll hang in there.

as another form of expression was the icing on the cake for me….and
maybe it was because we
see parents who grew up
in another world but who
love their son so much it’s their son who has the problem fully accepting who he is…I loved it when
the father was the one who railed at him to stop
playing with his life….maybe it was seeing
gay couples can have straight friends and straight married couples
have problems too….maybe it was because I remember my
gay male cousin and how
we loved him but he came
up in a time when he could not enjoy the protections of today. The beautician and the 30 year old reminded me of him and made me smile. To me he
