3 eps in. It's got a different feel. Obviously low budget, but gorgeous leads (Stan Huang... gasp) who are doing a good job with the little they've got, so far - and great lighting/cinematography. It's super simple but I'm enjoying it. Xuan Chen had a couple of moments where he looked like Audrey Hepburn.

Wasted my time on too many bad/mediocre episodes already. DROPPED. The direction and editing are horrible. The performances substandard. The story goes all over the place with no real reasoning. Ugh

There's nothing entirely new here, but it all works very well. Acting, scripting, direction, cinematography are all solid and make the sum more than the parts. Ohm, already one of the most handsome men in BL, has the best makeup artist. His rosy cheeks are perfection. I'm here for the gooey confection of love.

Not yet, but I appreciate you!!!!!

Same! I'm clueless, and I thought I had a good sense of humor.

thanks for your remark. I am doing all those things. appreciate your advice. Cheers.

Dropped after 4 eps. So slow and boring. The direction and editing are truly horrible. No one seems to understand comedy or comedic timing, yet they seem to think that stupid SFX are going to make up for the terrible pacing. Plus, that Mom. Ugh.

Hope you all enjoy.

THis was rough. I was blubbering. It's a beautiful story of redemption but it hit a little too close to home for me in this moment. That's not to say I didn't like it, butI'm just in a vulnerable state and this one really affected me. Thanks for the catharsis of tears.

A beautiful summary. Thank you so much.

Dear God, this just gets more painful (not because o the heartache, because of the poor scripting) but I've invested too much time to drop it now. This should be known as the never-ending-flashback series. And the 100 different angles while someone cries painfully series. When Ong-sa did the slide down the bathroom wall, I almost lost it. WE GET IT. He's sad! And yet when he should avoid Soon, he still seeks him out a 3rd time. Ugh. This would have ben a decent 6 ep series. Just cut the flashbacks and it would probably be that long. Mix, you deserve better.

Thanks!

Such an odd choice to never show his new crush. Why?

This was okay. Woo Ji Han was fantastic and GORGEOUS. Who could resist him? But in the end, the whole thing felt very slight. They liked each other. Kissed. But couldn't say I like you. One casual encounter with another student and Ban Dong Wook transfers schools? And Lee Do Hyun thinks he's a jerk. Okay. Kinda sorta, I guess. I'd be more confused than hurt, but whatever. They meet again. Enemies now, because of it but slowly realize they still like each other. Then one misunderstanding and Dong Wook is gonna leave again? This guys IS a jerk. HIs issues are much deeper than insomnia. Resolved so quickly, with barely a real apology and now it's HEA. If it wasn't fo the strong acting, this would be a fail for me. As is, middle of road BL with nothing new.

Eps 6 & 7 were everything I was hoping for in the first 5 eps. Real in-depth conversations, real insight into most of the boys. I finally got to know them all a little bit better. These were beautiful episodes. Hoping for more of the same to come.

That felt like they ran out of ideas/time/money and gave us a Fluff Montage instead of an actual ending. However, the actors looked their most comfortable in this ep,, Letting them be lovey dovey suited them. Wish we could have seen more of that. The whole show was a bit off for me. I guess I liked it, but mostly for Hsiao Hung. So adorable.

Just binged the whole thing in a row, after watching it weekly first time around. The story feels more satisfying as a whole (not that I have any complaints about the parts). If you have the time, watch them all together. That early pain is so raw, the slow transition from awkwardness and confusion to a dawning awareness and (sometimes) panic and desperation then finally realization and exaltation. They work more effectively tied together. Can I possibly wait a reasonable time before I have to binge again? Sigh. No guarantees.

This is odd and unique and I'm not sure how to feel about it. It goes fluffy to dark in a heartbeat. But somehow I'm in. The leads are just too dreamy.

That is certainly what they implied, something like tuberculosis. That's why he quit the gang, so they could spend the rest of their time together in peace.

The simplest, sweetest, fluffiest of all time. Nothing very new about this one, but every episode brought smiles and heart flutters. These two were the most innocent and timid leads I can remember. The way they each got so embarrassed at times, the way they had to fight to keep their emotions in check, the smallest of subtle smiles that they tried to hide. Kakeru's internal freak-outs were hilarious. It was all so adorable. I was in love with them both and could watch them navigate the rest of their lives together. I will definitely watch again.

I LOVED this one. The acting was topnotch across the boards. 3 of the most beautiful actors in all of BL (sorry Taro, you're very handsome, but the other 3.... sigh. But you make up for it with your excellent acting. You captured that character so well). Ai Di may be one of my favorite characters, the sweetest/fluffiest/bad-ass, and Louis Chiang nailed the performance.

Their love stories progressed naturally and realistically. I felt them each falling more and more each episode. Lots of passion (and I don't mean sex) that was refreshing and exciting.

The rival gang story was handled fairly well, and I liked the "twist" with the sister. When Fan Ze Rui pushes the knife in deeper!!! Come on! He has to be the most honorable gangster ever. Great character moment.

The Dad and Sis, so sweet. And yes, I did cry like a piggy for most of the last episode. I will watch again (and probably again and again).

Wondering if the boss and his ailing lover will get a sequel when they go to Japan to check in on the other gang.
