This is more like a friendship show than a dating show. If they are making more of this series, I hope there will…
I think the question itself is normal and certainly could be a deal-breaker if you find you are NOT compatible in bed, but maybe not something you would ask on the first meeting, in front of 7 other guys and a camera with potentially millions of strangers watching.
But I do agree that they villianized him and that certainly triggered him. But I applaud them all for showing him enough love and support later on that allowed him to change his mind and stay on the show. I think opening up and allowing these friendships into his life will really help him in the future.
Liked the second half of the season better than the first. Really got to know the boys more as time went on and appreciated the fact that the production team allowed us to get more in depth with them all. While this is supposedly a dating show, they all revealed that they needed the friendships just as much, if not more, than lovers - and I was really warmed by the depth of the friendships and the personal growth that came in just 6 days.
The only person I did not care for was Gino. I found him clingy, needy, and projecting too much of himself onto others. He kept calling Guan Yu a kid and said he was immature, when in fact, GY had incredible insights and advice and perspective on life, whereas Gino seemed very childish and close-minded. All he saw were the potential downfalls, instead of the the potential upside. Even in the end Gino said he felt Bobo was more compatible, but chose GY... that's (as GY said), "not thinking with his head".
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

I'd watch S2 if they choose to make another.
Hope you all enjoy.
