I actually went back to the original because I remember it being ok but not on my rewatch list. For just the reasons you cite I felt some issues were diluted and never fully addressed in the way this version does which is why I am tentatively putting this on my rewatch list. I want to see Win and Per standing strong together in the last episode and no room for doubt regarding No and Pun. Hopefully the writers continue to break new ground.

I think this is where Win and Per have officially become the stars in this series in my humble opinion.

Yes looking at this cast of young actors I keep thinking this is the next generation of bl actors. If this was a test run they passed with flying colors.

Frankly I am a little tired of Pun. He is not stupid so he has to know he needs to stop sending mixed signals whenever a female is thrown in the mix. The star of this episode is Mawin. I was so proud of him and admire Per for standing up for him. I still worry about the two of them because they are still kids. Mawin needs an adult advocate. Overall it was a good episode excluding the appearance of another girl. Only two more episodes.

Thank you. It is reaffirming to know I wasnt the only one feeling this way.

I binge watched and finally finished. Two reasons I stuck it out were Seo Hyun and Gong Yoon. They made me really empathize with their characters. Overall it was intriguing but I admit I did fast forward through many of the scenes with the neurotic ex wife. I can only take so much extreme nuttiness. One of the best lines in my opinion was when he told her she was demented. Lol…and it took him how long to come to that conclusion! The one thing I loved about this series is how it reveals the vulnerability and flaws they all had. Everyone has issues….and unless they are faced their inner turmoil only gets worse. The issue of mental illness is real and I am glad they did not sugar coat it. The situation with the mad stalker was so real. She went to the police. They got the legal response. I knew there was only one way to deal with him. I also enjoyed the fake husband. He was the icing on the cake for me. And the ending was perfect to me. After suppressing their true feelings and living in a literal fishbowl the ml and fl needed to rediscover their independence and their own truth. That last scene was beautiful. They will get back together. Do I need a Season 2? No…some things are best left to ones imagination.

I really dont like people who enjoy playing mind games. That is like holding a can of dynamite. Equally lethal are two people intertwined in a toxic relationship. This series has both so I look for it to get even messier.

I am in it strictly for Goon Yoo and because it is only 8 episodes. I just finished ep 1 and already I know every one so far is a candidate for the looney farm. I am not saying this to be sarcastic. I grew up surrounded by people who were aways one step away from being legally committed to an insane asylum. This looks like it is going to be a real roller coaster ride. On a side note my first thought was I hope the marriage worker gets tested for stds on a regular basis.

I cant wait to see Wei Ming get what he deserves. Both he and his parents are just despicable. The parents are just greedy parasites. I have watched family and friends face many marital challenges but one thing I will always be grateful for is their undying love for their children and grandchildren. Our happiness always took precedent. Even in my own marriage the one thing that was non negotiable….our children…they would always be with me…he loved his children dearly but understood if we didnt work out he could never cause me such heartache. Guo Guo’s
grandparents are just awful!

Wow! Ep 3 I didnt see that coming. The Director and his boy toy…lol…this is like
watching Manner of Death in another time and place. Anyone is suspect! I am hooked!

I just started watching and I like it despite the poor ratings. There is a sense of caution with the ml and fl. It will be interesting to find out what has happened in their lives to justify this. I also like how we get the various perspectives on work and dating. It’s sad and funny at the same time. I look at my young relatives who are in their twenties and thirties. I ask where are the bfs and gfs.
They just shrug their shoulders and smile. The one who is in a relationship seems in no rush to get to the altar. And the ones in their forties appear to have given up completely. Their hearts have been toyed with so much they have resigned themselves to being single forever. So I look forward to what lays ahead. On another note I totally hate supervisors who feel empowered to make stupid and dumb comments at group functions. The fl obviously has some real issues. Already I feel sorry for the ml. She looks like a big red flag. Lol

What a gem! From start to finish it was so damn good!
It did not skip a beat! I dont care what you call it I want more! I need a sequel. How good was this? Well I am literally in my bed sick but I had to watch the finale! GMMTV
really delivered with this one.

Yes it reminds me of when I was a teenager and my mom never would say or even allow me to say the word boyfriend. She would always refer to the person as my pal…lol. When she said this her friends would just smile. I still can envision the look on their faces saying ok pal…if you say so!

I cant believe this series is coming to an end. It truly is one of the best high school
themed series I have seen.

Thank you…Your reaction is the one I respect the most and would have liked to have seen. I dont know if you saw Semantic Error but when the female finally figured out that the guy wasnt into her I loved how she handled it. I have a young cousin who actually married a guy who was gay but was in denial. I saw it a mile away. Anyway he finally accepted his truth. They divorced but they remain friends over ten years later. She is his biggest advocate. Kudos to you. Take care.

This had some fun moments but it was still a hard watch for me. Are these fathers really representative of Asian fathers? Is physical and verbal abuse the norm? This is the 4th bl I have watched over the last three weeks where the fathers were just so brutal.
I really felt so sorry for Phun and Mawin looks like he is just mentally and emotionally drained. Kudos to our young actors who are doing an amazing job. I also dont get why we have to have another girl friend enter the picture. Is the writer advocating for staying in the closet and going along just to get along? I actually find No’s exgf intrusive and annoying. I mean you find out the boy you like likes boys and you throw a fit. Who does that in 2024? Even in the era I grew up in if I had found that out about a boy I liked I would have been like thank you for helping me dodge a bullet. And if that was supposed to be my best friend I would be supportive knowing the backlash he was going to have to endure. Anyway we have three more episodes and I am still rooting for a happy ending for all our couples

It is over and I am all good.
Kudos to the entire production team. I was holding my breathe until the very end. I am smiling. It was just a poignant and beautiful tale of the
complexities of having a
same sex relationship within an atmosphere of homophobia and physical/ emotional abuse. I am so relieved that both couples were able to break free and live the life they chose with the person they love.
This was a breakthrough for a Chinese bl. However it was done I hope we get
more in the future.

I like that bls are taking on
storylines that really address deeply ingrained
societal issues but this has got to be at the top of the ladder when it comes to what may be the most challenging subject to tackle…..religion and
homosexuality. If done right bl devotees should prepare themselves to be emotionally drained. I watched the trailer and just in those three minutes I foresee alot of inner conflict and angst. The fact that this is set in 1996 also causes me concern. Even in my country where it is looked at as being tolerant and open minded that is still generally out of the religious domain. We tend to be very tolerant regarding homosexuality
until the subject of religion
and heaven and hell comes into play. It appears as if the specific religion being
addressed is Catholicism.
This definitely is not the first time this storyline has been used but I am really
anxious to see how the director tackles this subject. I applaud GMMTV for stepping into the fire.
Already I know it is going to be on a roller coaster ride of highs and lows.I love Gemini
and Fourth. They are so talented I have no doubt
they are going to give it all
they got!

What can I say but Wow!
Each episode gets better
and better…..the mystery
and intrigue just heightens! The ml and fl are so crazy! I love it! Cant wait until they final acknowledge their true feelings for each other!

Wow I cant wait! TayNew is always a great watch…as they have gotten older they have only gotten better❤️❤️❤️❤️
