Technically, if the average man lives to 90, 30-60 are the middle years. But I hear you. The actor is actually younger than his character should be.

I am bored as hell. Things don't seem to be progressing at all. Are they NOT allowed to talk to the guy they like during the day??? I'd be on the patio sharing my life story and flirting up a storm. None of their personalities are really coming through, except the two new guys. And aside from the two new guys, I'm not sure I like any of their personalities. The game of jenga was a great discussion. Sad that things are still this way for gays around the world. I've seen 3 of these guys in a live stream and they all were much chattier, and the sexual innuendoes were FLYING. Where is that here? Strangely, they all seemed to have different jobs they were talking about during the livestream then the ones they mentioned here. Hmmm. Changmin, aside from being beautiful, is a potted plant. He just sucks the life out of the room and offers nothing. Even in the live stream where he was being very sexual, he has zero energy. And he comes off as arrogant. I'm sure they are talking and getting to know each other off-screen, but it seems the producers don't know how to make compelling television here. They even choose to keep in segments where the guys all say the same thing or keep repeating each other. How many times do we need to see someone ask, "Who made breakfast today?" I guess 7 times.
And how does that move the love connection needle? Oh yeah, it doesnt. Or they show scenes where guys sit around an DON'T talk. Hey, producers. Watch Big Brother and take a clue. And what's with all the weird subtitles "Peeking" "Getting nervous". Weird. On day 6 or whatever, those phone calls are ridiculous. All they can say is, "hello, have a nice night." If they were teenagers, I'd get it, but some of these guys are in their 30s and it's like they've never had a conversation with anyone before. Ugh. - I've only dated one Korean guy in my life and this definitely reminds me of him. Cold, bland and uninteresting.

Only good thing here was Yanase. But otherwise I felt like this was a waste of my time. Poor writing, didn't like the actor playing Kaneda nor his character, the direction was okay but didn't help overcome any of the flaws. Such a disappointment.

I've lost interest. So much time is spent on the screenwriting/movie aspect and so little on the parallel universe story, that they just should have made it about a screenwriter and a producer's son falling in love. Neither of them feels like they're having any difficulty fitting in to their new lives (aside from a few minor things that were easily resolved.). I don't understand why Talay is resistant to Tun, especially when he had a crush on him in the other world. And who the hell gets into a bathtub with an acquaintance? I think I'm dropping this one.

I'm confused. Not sure if this is two new characters with the same names, or a different timeline or a flashback or... I like the flirtation, but they seemed very much like BF on the date, not like a first date. I thought the "show me your abs" was a bit much - although tantalizing. I'm a pretty forward guy and I'd be making all kinds of innuendoes from the outset, but this moved a little faster than I was expecting. I'll tune in for Ep3, but hope it all starts to make sense somehow, cause these two are worth looking at all day.

This ep was funny - and not in a good way. Who gives a crap if their work lives are hard and frustrating? That's not what the show is about. Yes, it's ridiculous for someone to say "make the black lighter" but what's the point of these scenes? None of this really impacts their personal lives. Kim's boss is an idiot. You don't leave an important client to a newbie and then NOT give them information like "he's not in Australia/he's flying in today" etc. You certainly can't blame the new guy when you don't do YOUR job, lady. And what kind of Mom says, after your first week of work... "if it's too hard you can take a break". REALLY? That will make a good impression on future employers. And I see that being top of his class with all kinds of other activities landed him the WORST job of all his friends. His kinda stupid boyfriend went on to be a "famous" landscape designer (who doesn't want to show his face??? um, you're not Sia, dude). And Mek goes back to his "pranking", sending Kim all kinds of work texts because??? But then the tension just disappears, and Mek is suddenly praising Kim. Ugh. At least we got lots of cuddles and kisses and some skin. Glad it's almost over.

Not sure if the sub was not good, or if the dialogue just randomly flitted from one topic to the next, and the guys did not answer each other directly. Felt incomplete.

Kind of random. Tries to attach socio-political meaning to a college art school film, but does not succeed. Elijah is so young looking here! Kokoy as always inspires. But not really worth the watch

I know I'm in the minority, but Shin is not that hot to me. Yes, shirtless he was quite the feast, but I find Minato cuter... he's just more my type. And 18 or not I'd still have a queasy stomach thinking I was taking advantage of a kid, even one who obviously wants me just as much or MORE than I want him. Now 21... and it's on!

Why? I'm not sure why they make these kinds of shorts. There is nothing new or fresh, barely any story. Yes, a teensy bit of a twist, but hardly worth the effort. Very amateur acting, even poor Mon who deserves so much better. Feels like a high school kid got a video camera and the cast improvised. Sad.

Cute, silly, quirky little short. Had a couple of surprises. Was NOT expecting that dildo! Haha.

And everyone gets a cold from being in the rain for 5 minutes. I watched one yesterday where a guy slid off a small rock and fell in shallow stream, so shallow that only his butt got wet, but then had to be carried home, and was unconscious for a day. PS: I do put a band-aid on a paper cut, but that's only because the cut is so annoying and every time I move my hand or grab a pen it bothers me. NOT because I'm in desperate need of medical attention.

Oh that makes it perfectly fine then.

I agree that teenage boys especially are horny and ready to go. Thats what bugs me about uni set BL where one of them acts like a kiss is major sex crimes perverted. But Minato is not a teenager. He's TRYING to be a responsible adult, and not a predator. He TRYING to withhold himself so Shin can have a more realistic high school romance and then go on to college. And from the outset, it has been clear that Minato is definitely the more immature of the two of them. Literally everything causes him to panic. It's ridiculous and kind of a character device, but it's consistent with who he has been from the outset. If I was in that situation, I too would be holding back with every fibre of my being. That being said, I don't have the will power that Minato has, and I'm sure I would have at least kissed him by now. But this all feels so on point, character wise.

WAAAAAY better!

This had potential but there were major editing issues for me, big jumps in the story or timeline, things that seemed to happen and then were referenced later as if they were still to come, lots of repeated dialogue and situations. Huge stuff happens and it all moves along at such a brisk pace that nothing truly resonates. Didn't think the love story was very well established. While they were friendly, suddenly they're shirtless and kissing. I find it funny that Lin suggests they move to Beijing so they can live their lives freely as a gay couple. Really? This COULD have been great, but somewhere in the scripting and editing it fell apart. And of course... the tragedy. I mean, I knew it was coming. It's foreshadowed and this is a Chinese production, so two gay men can't live happily ever after, but definitely puts a damper on my rating. Won't watch again, no matter how oddly erotic spitting wine on someone's back may be!

If a stranger flicked water on me on purpose in a public men's room, I would not take it lightly. It's incredibly rude. Sure, it's not assault, but WTF? Who does something like that? You let strangers do this to you and laugh it off?

I don't believe it was good manners, because he didn't show good manners previously. Good manners are NOT flicking someone with water, and when their wee is exposed, saying, "Um... zip up!", rather than mocking them. (And yes most people would mock him... but that's still not good manners). Suddenly the good manners appear when it's advantageous to him. X is definitely being an asshole. And Q is definitely over-reacting. Hence my 0for2 in the characterization department.

I don't know what they're serving at Craft Services in Thailand, but why would they have anything that causes diarrhea on the menu? And since when does diarrhea require a trip to the hospital. Ugh.

First ep was just okay for me. I'm beginning to hate the enemy to lovers trope because so often they make one guy act like a total a** hole. Splashing water on him, mocking his "size", clearly pretending he's nice while manipulating the mom & uncle. I know he's doing it all to get closer to the boy, but I prefer the "you get more flies with honey than vinegar" approach. It also makes it harder for me to believe the turn-around when they become nice guys and the lead falls in love with them. Also, didn't car e for our lead being so clueless. The two most famous and popular kids in his school (with posters everywhere) and he's never seen or heard of them before? Is he living under a rock? Especially when your two best friends clearly know them... like they've never mentioned them before? And who in their right mind would agree to a challenge as arbitrary as "if you get the MOST POPULAR girl in school to choose you..." I mean, the chances of this are so small you'd have to be an idiot to agree. Well, I guess that sounds right. Q is an idiot. So 0 for 2 on the characterizations. The actors are clearly new-ish and kinda amateur. The whole thing feels a bit retro to me. I did like the Frank/Mind meet. I like a nice hetero couple in the mix. I'll give this another ep or 2 but not holding my breath that it will improve much.

Yes, it should have been a spoiler, but... Watch 5 minutes and you'll figure it all out yourself, like I did. Second, how does knowing the concept spoil the series? It's like saying, no need to watch Bad Buddy if you know they were childhood friends turned enemies turned lovers.
