One of the many over-used tropes in romances.

THANK YOU!

Painful. I was turned off in the first five minutes and it didn't get any better. DROPPED.

Just finished my 3rd watch. Still gets me. That restaurant boss is the bomb! Love her.

But... Question: At the start of Ep 4, (after they bump into each other on the subway) the MC are walking down a long hallway. Is that the dorm? A love hotel? Where are they?

I agree, and I think it's a shame the way the writers treat him. He's very inconsistent. They make him act like a confident, cool guy without a care in the world.... until they want to play the trauma card. Writers: Watch The Eighth Sense and see how someone with trauma carries it with them ALWAYS, not just when it's convenient to your story. (NOT that this show should be as dark as TES, but it's called character consistency)

What scenes are NC?

Who asks those kinds of personal questions on video for a school website? Totally inappropriate! Some team manager she turns out to be.

Frank has improved, I agree. But he's been acting long enough I should hope so!

He's one of the best shooters on the team. That comment felt totally false and just put in by the script writers to stir up trouble. And I agree, why is NO ONE standing up for him. Argh!

I'd say... an underwhelming conclusion. A minor misunderstanding and then... all is forgiven. Eh.

Overall, I enjoyed the series, thought the two performances were strong. Nam Yi gives off a strong stalker vibe, and I'd have to say I think these two are doomed IRL, but I'll just pretend this last moment is the HEA.

For those hung up on Jae Min's dream... dreams are not literal. Typically, the people we dream of are NOT who we are thinking about. They are stand-ins so we can play out our fears/desires safely (by removing the actual person who is involved in those crises). Jae Min was lonely, needed to be reassured and to feel like he was loved... so he dreamt of someone showing him attention and love. Then he woke up and realized who he actually had those feelings for. The kiss might have been a betrayal. The dream was not.

And as everyone is saying... some of the best kissing in BL.

It's the exact same story, just retold in a longer format with different actors. No need to watch the movie, although it was pretty good.

And how BADLY did those girls STOMP on his foot.? That "sprain" looked pretty intense. LOL

A pleasant start.
Reminds me of a softer version of Utsukushi Kare.
I agree with Takara that it's a bit creepy.
But I'm already falling for these two characters. I hope they develop and we get to see more sides of them.

I good little short. Some nice performances. Nothing revelatory, but well done.

@aquadrone22 I don't love the phrases either, but I merely wanted to imply that I didn't justify his behavior,while still allowing him the space to be 3 dimensional and understandably conflicted. I agree that these types of issues are very real and relatable and when handled with care and artistry (we'll see how this one ends up), they can be some of the most affecting and impactful BL.

I know "cheating is cheating", but we also have to consider that Jaemin is in his very first relationship, just discovering his MM desires and he's still VERY young. There's a lot of chaos in his pretty little head and this new guy is using every tool to keep it going, so he can get his way. It doesn't justify his behavior, but you can perhaps understand it a bit more.

That said, this was a tough episode to watch. I felt sad that Jaemin didn't have the will to resist.

Not trying to be shady, but... did Frank have some work done? His face looks different to me. Thinner overall, thinner nose. Could be the make-up. He looks great, banging body, obviously. Maybe he's just growing up.

I can't believe he was so young when he started in CYMB, and he's still chasing boys all these years later!

Now I understand why this seems so familiar. I love the movie

Just watched for 2nd time. While I feel pretty much the same, it's funny how things hit you differently.
Han Baram was so frightened... of everything. He became almost frozen. I didn't feel it was justified after a while.
The teacher was so inappropriate/handsy (and he looks so old that it's creepy. Everything would have felt different if he was a 20-something idol-type. The touching, the betrayal.)
Hantae appears head over heels from Day 1. He had his hands all over Baram, ALL THE TIME. How does he not even contemplate his feelings, and how does Baram not misinterpret or at least inquire?
They shove it in our faces, but it just came across stronger to me this viewing... the cat and dog. Baram is sulky and a loner and Hantae is over-eager and relentless like a dog with a bone. I think the actors truly used those animals as inspiration for their performances. Hantae was such a frisky puppy.
Just how cute and fluffy they are together. It really is one of the sweetest relationships with two pure souls, and one fantasy prince charming (Im Hantae).
Their chemistry is off the charts.
And I had forgotten the kissing. How did I forget that?
Finally: It's My Fault/Letter of Apology. One of the most haunting melodies and vocals EVER.
I'll probably watch again.

It is so gorgeous and haunting. Love it.

So true. But this is often the case in BL. It's the 3rd wheel guy who is always the bravest character, who puts himself on the line, says what he thinks/feels, is vulnerable, COMMUNICATES! And then gets rejected. :)
