I have been holding back. I saw the first episode and was intrigued. Then I read that Phuwin was in it and I knew I had to see this. But this is the kind of series that I feel I have to bingewatch to really appreciate all the metaphors and messages. The comment section confirms my decision. There is alot to process.

This is my third attempt at trying to watch. It is definitely not an easy watch. It is however a very realistic depiction of life for a vast number of youth. It is dark, violent, depressing and extremely toxic. It is not a bl. It is more than a bl. It is a
psychological and pictorial metaphor of the darkest crevices of living hell. I am determined to finish it. I am rooting for our two mls and hoping they will find their was out of hell. Well, I was able to finish. This was the equivalent of going through childbirth. It was extremely painful but the end result was worth it. I thought the bl No Regret was dark and gritty but this stole the show. Kudos to the entire cast and the
production team. Outstanding!

I hope you are right. I remember seeing clips of the mls from Addicted being reunited but the entire segment was never aired. I remember Irresistible Love had a sad ending but there was so much backlash a second ending was filmed with a happy ending.

As much as I have loved watching I am really not enjoying it as much as I did at first. It feels more and more like Addicted Love and Stay With Me. Neither had a satisfying ending which is the usual case in Chinese bls. This seems to be following the same pattern. The only good thing for me is at least there are two episodes per week. As always the main cast is awesome which is also a compliment to Chinese bls but will we get the happy ending we long for in this bl or will it be open ended like so many other Chinese bls. This is so frustrating. I keep waiting for the hammer to drop and the gratuitous
breakup. Well we just have to wait and see.

You give me hope. Thank you.

You are absolutely right. If you ever visited a facility for these patients you would be shocked. And some family members are just not mentally or physically equipped to take on what is required. I am blessed to have members in my family who stepped up to the plate and did what needed to be done to give their loved one the best care possible. Thank you for responding.

Thank you. Sometimes I am hesitant to share but I feel compelled to do so when the subject matter reflects reality. One point I just thought about is how the character selected to have this disease is very affluent. Rich or poor dementia/Alzheimers does not
discriminate.

A perfect ending to a perfectly beautiful story about first love, mature love and true friendship.
I dont know about others but it reminded me of my senior year in high school. The optimism mixed in with youthful trepidation and anxiety. Of course what made this stand out was it being all about same sex relationships. There was no toxic parent, no fear of being socially ostracized, no long tirade on the perils of boys being in love with boys. It was what one hopes high school would look like in reality. Series like this provides hope and optimism to that teenager who may be at the crossroads and needing a push to live his truth. It also serves as a clear message to those from my generation. Things are changing whether you like it or not. Kudos to the entire production team. This was the perfect cast. I look forward to seeing them in other projects.

Overall I really enjoyed ep 46. Excluding the part with the baby’s mom it was winner for me. The was they are handling the mil with dementia is right in point. It starts out slowly and gradually progresses. I remember my husband and I picking up a relative to attend a funeral. I had spoke to her earlier in the week and nothing seemed unusual but when we went to pick her up she was not dressed. Her daughter helped her get dressed and we headed to the funeral. I just thought I had got the time wrong. In the car we talked and some things she said struck me as odd but I still did not connect the dots. At the funeral some of her relatives seemed surprised to see her and were very attentive to her. Later I called her brother and he told me she was in the early stages of dementia. That was over ten years ago. She is still in her home but one of her daughters and her granddaughter are her caretakers. She no longer recognizes anyone. Her youngest brother came to visit her and broke down in tears. She did not know who he was. This terrible disease runs in my family. It is my worse fear. I think sites like this help me stay mentally sharp. Being able to put my thoughts into words is reassuring. I have an aunt who was diagnosed with dementia last year. My reaction was just like the granddaughter’s. I cried. Recently I went to see her. At first she was not communicating but when I started talking about my mom and dad and how they all loved playing cards her eyes lit up and she smiled. A few days later she even spoke to me on the phone. She now lives with her oldest daughter . For safety reasons she cannot return to her home. But the loving care she is getting puts my mind at ease. I have shared this with my own children and they have assured me that should that day come they will make sure I am treated with love and kindness. Thank you for indulging me. I know I can be longwinded. Next week should be a doozy. Time for Dokgo to pay the piper.
I was so glad to see Mi Ae finally has had enough. It was also good to see Su Gang and Bom Han getting closer. Take care.

There are some bls I put in the category of cutesy, feel good bls. These go on my rewatch list. This is one of those. My two main couples end up together. It was really fun seeing both couples going back and forth like married couples. I look forward to seeing Boat and Oat again. And Yoon too! Nice way to end!

Let me clarify. I never really saw it as a nightmare. I always viewed it as a learning experience. People have their own reasons for doing what they do and many times it makes absolutely no sense at all. Certainly there were moments that seemed like a nightmare but intertwined in those moments were also some lessons in forgiveness and tolerance. Lol I guess I found out at a young age that I had aa very low level of tolerance. That is why I probably will pass on the episode where the baby’s mama does all she can to take the baby away from her father and the family that has loved her so much. Please keep me posted.

Personally Gwang Suk is starting to get on my nerves. I can understand wanting to help someone but she seems to be stepping over the line between being concerned and being intrusive. I hate when I say No thank you to someone and they continue to try to get me to do otherwise. Gwang Suk is a grown woman but she acts like an immature adolescence at times. I also think we can see the next drama unfolding with the brother and his baby’s . Also the issue with Seri’s parents continue. More drama. Will we ever have a moment of peace? While many may find the idea of multiple generations and extended family living under the same roof to be a wonderful idea I have experienced it and it is just like what is portrayed in the series. Nothing is private. Everyone is drawn into conflicts . Of course the good moments are shared but at what price. My mother was Gwang Suk. At one time her youngest brother and his family lived with us. Then my father’s youngest brother got married and he and his bride moved in. Other relatives followed. My mother just couldnt say no.I was witness to so much drama it is almost comical. One good thing came out of it….when I got married my mother wanted us to live in the family house which would have consisted of me, my husband, my grandmother, my uncle, her niece and her three children. I told her very politely no way. I had already watched others go down that road.
So now we have the drama with the baby momma. I see a baby kidnapping in the works. I may have to sit out the next four episodes. Keep those spoilers coming.

I am really impressed by the three side stories. Each one focuses on the issue of class/gender discrimination as well as other societal issues. How each will fare is still not clear but each certainly has my attention. Frankly, I am rooting for each of the heirs even the son has been constantly badgered by his father so much that he himself often displays the same vindictiveness. The scene I love the best is when the prince stood up to the demonstrators and even sang the words to their anthem. Of course the love scene between our mls was just so perfect. I for one enjoy the sexual innuendos and visuals . NuNew and Zee have such beautiful bodies.

This is so good. This and Bangkok Boy signal a whole new direction in the world of bl. It is gritty and painfully gruesome with just the right touch of humanity and romance. I love it. I knew that guy was too good to be true. I hope that same dog gets a good taste of him!

I know we are in for a rough ride. This is not going to be smooth sailing. But I am loving this series so much. I already have my box of tissues ready. We already know a marriage engagement is pending. And given the time period we already get a sense of
impending doom. This deserves a higher rating.

Really loved ep 7. We finally find out the reason for the breakup. As usually Krist and Singto are awesome. I am not an animal lover but after helping care for my son’s pet dog for over 12 years I was devastated when he died. Having our favorite GMMTV vet make a cameo appearance was sweet. The sidestory with Yong was also fun.,Who hasnt had an older uncle show up with a young thing on his arm? Suddenly, he’s wearing tight jeans and body shirts….lol.. I know some may have been
disappointed but it was a win for me. Looks like we get some drama and chaos next week.

If you just want to bingewatch a bl that is just like a breathe of fresh air this is it. No toxic ex gf or ex bf, no homophobic parents, no spiteful friends. Just two people grappling with their own inner personal revelations and a side couple that is just as sweet and endearing. I personally have rewatched it twice already.

Short and sweet! Great for when you just want to take a couple of hours and just bingewatch a series with no intrusive ex or needless side stories. I hope to see the mls again. They were good together ! The music was nice too!

Cant believe we are coming to the end. Today’s episode was so good! It caught all the feelings that goes with growing up and facing the future….old friends, new friends, excitement, apprehension,
sadness, loss! Even the situation with the two teachers was so realistic! It was like looking in a mirror and seeing a reflection of my former self! Even now I marvel at how we ended up intact . I am going to miss these guys.

I really enjoyed seeing Thai get jealous . It was fun watching his reaction to Champ being openly pursued. Cant believe next week is the last episode.
