Kim Jun Hyung has this strange habit of looking off to the side when people are speaking to him, rather than looking at them directly. It makes it appear that he's either not paying attention, or doesn't care about them, or is distracted... but whatever it is, it's BAD ACTING. Also, I LOVE alchohol, but this boy has a real problem.

PS: I haven’t seen the prequels so that may be why I’m enjoying it more than others.

First 2 eps did everything they were supposed to. I really liked the characters , their struggles, their relationship and am rooting for them. I am not that big of a fan of successful executives like Nan who are complete idiots IRL but that’s a minor critique. Kun is doing a very nice job, really selling his “hidden” desires (NOT hidden at all). Loved the surprise kiss at the end of Ep 2. Sweet. Looking forward to more.

I liked the first season better, although I was happy to see Kiyoi’s growth and ability to express himself SLIGHTLY better this season. Hira’s debilitating lack of self esteem bothered me more. It’s 4 years later. I expected more growth on his part. The last episode was satisfying for that reason alone. They are a unique couple in BL and I do understand their attraction to each other so I enjoyed their journey together. I think Yagi Yusei grew into his role and you could see much more comfort in his portrayal this season. All in all decent but not something I care to revisit because of Hira’s lack of development.

Subs are so bad I can’t even think about this one. I’ll come back in a month and see if they’ve improved.

This was just ok. I like all the actors. As everyone says, Perth and Chimon rocked it. Great stuff for such small insubstantial roles. Phuwin got better as the series progressed but I’m surprised his acting has not improved that much given how long he has been doing this. Don’t get me wrong, I still like him but he should be much stronger by now. Also as noted plot holes galore. And lots of relationship restarts. They’re together, they’re not. They declare their love. They separate. It felt like they forgot where they were and every episode started from page one again. Neung’s drastic turn to suddenly become this bad ass did not really track. The island getaway where both just seem to forget their parents are in danger was just unforgivable. It honestly feels like BL is being written by kittens sometimes. Slap away at a computer keyboard and just accept anything that prints out. I did like the sweet, romantic and tender intimacy of the MC. Nice to see a couple who aren’t afraid to express their feelings in words and touch so openly. But that’s about the only good thing I can say. Won’t rewatch.

Ep 2 was a train wreck. The subs are some of the worst I’ve ever seen. But the dialogue is pretty bad anyway, so maybe it’s a blessing? 5 guys standing around asking “where’s Ken? I don’t know I thought he was with you. Have you seen him. I thought he was with you. Where’s Ken?” HES LITERALLY IN PLAIN SIGHT CRYING IN FRONT IF HIS LOVERS PICTURE. The story is all over the place. But the direction is the worst. Over a minute of slo mo as Ken walks up the stairs to the funeral. Over a minute of the two lovers lying in the riverbed, shaking. Over 45 seconds of the mystery man walking up the stairs to the funeral. They are trying soooo hard to build suspense but forgot to engage us with the story. I’ll give it one more ep, but fear this will have to be dropped. Ugh

Now that's how you get me. Intriguing and complex from the start. Delicious premise and nice twist. Strong, naturalistic acting. Hoping for the best from this one.

Intriguing premise. I like a mystery, so I'll stick it out and see where this goes.

Ken is one super hot lead. I actually thought Din was cute, so I hope he comes back, although I don't think he's end game (unless he's Peter).

Random thoughts...
*WTF are they wearing in that restaurant? Vests with no shirts one day, long knit sweaters the next (from the preview). Bizarre.
*Obviously, that fake eye was bothering that actor. He couldn't keep his eye lid open.
*"They tried to strangle you with strangulation" Oh the subs!
*If someone touched me when I was sleeping, nevermind kissed me, I would be awake in a second.
*That corpse would have been so badly decomposed you could not tell who it was... but they expect the "doctor" to identify him from his looks. Hysterical.
*I "love" stupid directing choices. Hand him a note. He reads it. But is compelled on the staircase to read it again. Because... ?? And even though he's strangled (his NECK!)... it seems to be very painful for him to put his HAND in his pocket. LOL
Looking forward to more comedy amidst the mystery.

Two gorgeous sets of abs. Two trying too hard leads, asked to give sultry glowering half-closed glares for too often. It's an interesting premise and setting, so I'll stick it out for one more ep, but not expecting much here. PS: The subs are awful

NOT FOR ME. Enjoy.

Boy I'm falling hard for this one. Strong performances, complex characters, juicy storylines. I will say that Jim forgave Wen a bit too easily in Ep3. They needed a real conversation about Wen's involvement in the food court project. And of course, the typical communication issues, even between nephew and uncle, that could be so easily resolved if people would just talk calmly and rationally and ASK each other questions - but I guess there would be no show if they did that. Li Ming is really making me fall for him. His non-verbal reactions are so clear and easy to read. Can't wait to see more from him. So interesting to see GAY adults and open acceptance in a Thai BL. Hope it's a trend for the future. Sad this is already half over, but very excited to see what's to come. Though I do worry about Heart's ride on that scooter in the next ep. Yikes!

The drunk part was my only criticism. You boil the alcohol out when you boil it like that, so it would have no effect on anyone drinking it. But otherwsie, was a histerical scene

No need for me to post a review now, because you said it all. Agree wholeheartedly. Sweetness, strong characters, depth, a good plot to center it all around. The semi-steamy scene was the perfect cap to this sweet, delightful series.

I wouldn't say FAT. but he seems to have gained a few pounds. But it all looks good on him. He's a dream.

LOL

I am body positive. Bring on all shapes and sizes. Especially with that smile.

LOL. So true. I would not want to STAND next to Earth, nevermind be shirtless.

I've only seen 1 episode, but loving the flirty Mix. One look and he can really sell "I want you" better than just about anyone.

Did he gain some weight? I wonder why he never took his shirt off.

"I think you know my preference." Wow! Look at Thai BL delving into LGBTQ territory.

And for a sex scene with no kissing... that was pretty steamy. Take note KBL's.

Not really feeling the teens, but maybe as they get more screen time.

Looking forward to more.

So Mix is a flirty little scamp IRL? Wow.
