No romantic couple on Earth kisses by putting their lips in contact and then remaining entirely motionless for…
I've seen multiple comments from you regarding the matter. Honestly, it's okay for you not to like it and it's okay for someone to like the way they did it.
But again, speaking as a gay man, these kisses are more than romantic enough...but that's just my opinion.
Also, you're accusing me of making up excuses for them hiring a working idol as an actor and calling it homophobia just because they did not kiss the way you wanted them to? Me, a literal GAY MAN who is just happy about a series that shows different relationship dynamics of romanticism between two men in a scripted drama?
It's funny to me that you keep complaining about a kiss between to men in a gay show and calling it queer washing and homophobic just because they did not open their mouths to kiss.
Queer media is queer media with or without kisses.
The chemistry of the leads and the acting were the saving grace of the show. It felt like the series was not able to fully flesh out some characters like Simeon and and Hyunjae.
It would have been much better had there been at least two more episodes.
Pleasantly surprised. I got into the show with a few skepticism because of how how many couples there are but everyone surprisingly got enough screen time and story arcs for us to get to know all of them.
I'm also loving the fact that we have gay characters that are confident in showcasing their gayness.
J-min is an honest revelation here. The last time we got a working idol to do a real kissing scene was Jaechan on Semantic Error. Yes it was not as passionate as SE but at least he did unlike active idols who did BL but couldn't really do a kissing scene for obvious reasons.
Overall, the acting is great. The script was convoluted, confusing and tried to do so much within so little time with two episodes. Had this been a proper 8 episodic series, characters would have been fleshed out and story arcs would not feel so rushed and have a "what the hell just happened?" vibe.
I think this story has potential should it be adapted into a series format with the same lead actors but limit the side characters as they take away from the leads.
also thanks for the info that the real ending is after the credits which was not a great idea. It should have been right after the scene that we all thought was the ending because the trailer for the next ep and the ending credits took away from the real ending.
I started to lose interest with the main leads and started to fixate on Thaentai and Methee. I don't know why but it's most likely because of Charn as a character.
Decided to give it ago after a week of not watching to refresh myself with this show. Lo and behold, it's as bland and as boring as the previous weeks. Looks like I did not miss much. Just finished ep 5 and was about to watch ep 6 but decided against it. Maybe I'l watch it again in two weeks because the plot....well is getting stale like step by step....
I get why the movie is rated like this here even though the movie deserves a 9.5 rating.
This is not BL, this is a Queer/Gay Movie through and through. Sad as it is, the movie is melancholic and truthful to what the LGBT community goes through.
This takes me back to heartbreaking gay movies of the early 2000's and early 2010's.
To those who will be watching, this movie is not what you think it is.
I'm actually more interested in Mingmueang and Namning's storyline (and lack of scenes together at the moment) than the two leads. There is something off with First and Ja's chemistry here compared to Don't Say No and Remember Me.
It's not that bad. It's just bland and boring. I found myself yawning quite a lot. The chemistry just is not there with the leads. I don't know why they keep on pairing them with one another.
I'd rather watch House of Stars again just for the Campiness that it served. At least I was not bored.
Alrighty, where do we even begin. This show is all over the place, the dialogue is very convoluted (not sure if it was the subtitling or the script was just horrendously written.) The way they handled the sl*shing scene and the SA scenes were...definite choices. Should have had trigger warnings, TBH.
This was an enjoyable watch and I found myself laughing at some scenes that are just too funny to be even taken seriously. Like, why would Dino take his leather jacket off for Rak to wear when Rak was literally wearing a thick sweater over a long sleeve button down. Does he want him to have heatstroke?
This show tries to be serious but ends up being comedic most of the times without even trying to be comedic.
Pat started to become annoying and whiny and cries about every minute details. Jeng was just a wallflower not really interesting as a character, I could care less for their love scene because I was just dragging my ass to finish the show.
I was waiting for more storyline for Jaab and Jane but nope, we were not given that much scenes of them.
Honestly, Chot has an even more interesting story with his boyfriend but we only saw his boyfriend for like one or two episodes.
The complete nosedive was just terrible. The acting was not particularly good with the exception of Bruce's protrayal of Chot and as well as Up's acting.
The duration was just too much as well.
This was boring and I just found myself either looking at my phone or just watching it 2x the speed.
Apart from that, the acting is good and the chemistry between the leads is amazing.
You're only making yourself look dense and ditzy whenever you reply, so keep going. It's funny.

Yes, their lips touched and did not move, what's the big deal? The storyline was not ruined by it.
Coming from someone gay, like me, open mouthed kisses shows passion but we also like chaste kisses.
It would have been much better had there been at least two more episodes.

Hopefully it won't go down Step By Step's celestially boring route since both shows have the same director.

Be messier and I'll keep watching.
