Thanks. I've already come back and subs have indeed improved (although the last episode was back to horrible).

Well, they make it so obvious!

I had the same thought.... he's waaaaay too old to be in high school. I'm assuming they meant some kind of college degree, but who knows. He's gonna end up with cafe guy, so high school age would not be appropriate.

Ep 6 - letting the tongues fly. I love how the 3rd couple had to watch a video (I'm assuming porn) to know what to do - and both of them were so giddy. Too funny.

PS: Who's the hair stylist on this show? Are they blind? A couple of boys look like they've been sheared like sheep.

Eh. Not sure about this one. Fuse is so desperate it's a bit much. He goes with Ana without even seeming to think about it. "Flirt with me," and next thing you know they're a couple and he's whipped. I'm not buying it. Feels like this was thrown together overnight. I'll give it one more ep before I decide to drop.

I couldn’t stomach the first episode and dropped the series, then got convinced by fans to give it another shot. Thanks for that cuz I truly enjoyed the show. Yes it’s familiar high school shenanigans but so well acted that it rose above. Fourth is amazing. I did not sense a false moment from him. Gemini bugs me for some reason but I admit he is a strong actor as well. Most of the secondary cast was equally strong. Notably Satang and Ford. I am pretty sure they gave ford that crying scene in Ep 11 as an audition for a starring role If you can cry convincingly, you can star in a Bl! Haha. They are good singers but I grew tired of a full song or three per episode. I’m sure the teen girl audience loved it but I prefer a story to a montage or music video. At the end far too many group hugs but that’s a minor quibble. I loved the easy, natural intimacy between the leads. The subtle touching, tickling their chins etc. it showed a welcome comfort not in most Bls. While the kissing was limited, I will say it looked natural and romantic. A few minor missteps but overall a strong show.

Ok thanks everyone. I went back and watched MSP. You were right. After 2 or 3 eps I was all in. A few problems but overall I enjoyed it. Thanks for the recommendation.

2 episodes in and it's just okay. I'm not a fan of time travel love stories. Someone is destined to be hurt. We'll see how they handle it here. I do like the fact that he's reunited with his friends and they get to act like teenagers all over again. And I like his protective Uncle feelings towards his new friends. I have a crush on Cooper, but he tends to overact. Still, I'll stick this one out just to watch him and his amazing abs but I'm not expecting much.

Wow. So I am definitely in the minority here. I HATE Chers character. He’s a complete idiot. I couldn’t care less if this guy finds love. And Book is overacting way beyond what’s needed. I suppose that’s partially a directors choice but he’s doing nothing to endear me to this character either. I can’t stomach it. Dropped.

I didn’t like the editing or structure that much. ep 2 felt like it should have been ep 1 but it’s cute and somewhat unique. I look forward to more.

It was the cake that ended it for me. If this is what passes as conflict for a couple of 2 years, then I’m not gonna stick around. Dropped.

I know that playing drunk if difficult, but Kiak may be one of the worst at doing it. 3 eps in and I've lost all interest in this series. DROPPED.

Not for me. DROPPED.

I could only stomach the first episode, but after watching them in this series, I may go back and try again.

3 eps in and i'm done. The acting is very weak, imo. I can often times overlook that, but when you've got such a dramatic storyline of physical and mental abuse, sexual abuse, infidelity, you need a very strong actor to carry it all and I don't think James is up to the task. The sex scenes are kinda steamy, but also so poorly staged that they lose some of their eroticism for me. I don't find the secondary characters likeable or believable at all. Gonna have to DROP this one. Hope you all enjoy it.

A different kind of setting and plot than the typical BL (this is actually an LGBTQ+ series). Mature characters, going through adult issues and problems. Some missteps along the way, plot holes that could have easily been fixed, but overall very strong all the way around. If Mix doesn't melt your heart and make you fall in love with him, I think you must be dead already. He's fairly perfect start to finish. Earth has really grown over the years and there was a great confidence here that he hasn't always shown. Li Ming is a gem. Such a strong young actor. I can see him in just about any drama, BL or otherwise. Wish him great success in his career and hope to see him star in another BL soon. Most of the side characters were strong too, even those that did not get adequate screen time. I'm a sucker for a deaf storyline and thought it was handled with great maturity. Everyone learned sign language a bit too easily, but that's not a real complaint. All in all a very strong showing that I will probabl revisit again.

Ep 4 was the best so far, and it looks like Ep 5 will continue. The way these two GORGEOUS men look at each other with a mix of sweetness and pain makes my heart swell. Was heartbreaking to see a bit of the old Fumiya show up, with his jealousy and anger. Ritsu always responds with such honest, raw emotion. I'm in LOVE.

Not much to go on from Ep 1. Most of the ep was imagined fantasies. The shower scene went on far too long. Interesting to make one of the leads a rent-boy, don't think I've seen that before. They will need to make him go through quite a change to have us root for him, though. Kudos to the Philippines for ALWAYS including trans/non-binary roles. But just wish they made them fully-dimensional and aspirational characters. Not enough here to hold my interest. Dropped.

And they just crashed into some cardboard boxes. There wasn't even a dent on the car, but they are all knocked out? Ridiculous.

The subs got better in Ep 3, but nothing else improved. Even forgiving the subs, this is some of the worst dialogue I've ever seen in a BL. Nonsensical. I've never in my life had conversations like the people in this series. NEVER. I just can't be bothered. I'll look for the steamy scenes in a cut somewhere later on, but I can't stomach this any more. DROPPED.
