Should have stopped at Episode 0. This is really 2 entirely different series that shouldn't even be called the same. Characters don't act the same, looks totally different. Writing is much worse. DROPPED.

So true. He obviously cares for Kim, so the reaction to Pam's appearance was way out of proportion. I remember in high school my girlfriend broke up with me because I liked hanging out with my friends too much. So I guess immature people DO have immature reactions and make immature decisions, but the writers could do better than this.

I only stayed for this one because the eps were so short. but it felt very high school arts project to me. The acting was not good. I know it's hard in isolation, but other series have shown you can get past that. The writing was not very strong. I knew Boss was hiding something very early and it just made me dislike him. He was clingy and needy and manipulative, didn't respect Tono's boundaries or morals. It was all uncomfortable. I never got the impresson these two were in love at all. I was sure the reveal was going to be something more extreme, but I guess they couldn't get a happy ending unless it was as simple as acne. I'm kinda mad at myself for not dropping. Definitely won't watch again.

I agree. The only part I've liked so far was when they were enjoying their relationship.

Ep 4 was so sweet. Akira rooting for Shin got me teary. Asuka has me so curious. I can't figure out his motivation. And the preview for next week really complicates things. Sensei is back, the girl is back, a boy is back... Can't wait.

This was always kinda mediocre and now I'm just bored. I get so confused with the whole "we are not official" thing. They've been dating for a couple of weeks and seemingly have slept together, but they're not official? And they've never said "I like you"? Isn't it implied when you start dating someone that you like them? Now with all the ex lovers coming into play and Mek's freak out at the confession, I think I may be done with this one. Maybe I'll binge when the series is finished and I can watch at 2x.

I'm with you. I was just gonna post the "so glad this is over" post.

I'm only halfway through the first episode and I already feel like I've watched 4 hours. It's so slow. A huge Fluke fan, and I have liked Ohm in the past, but he's lifeless here. Comatose. They've taken the zombie bit too literally. I may come back and binge a few at 2x but for now I'm gonna drop.

This is interesting so far. A bit slow paced. Some of the forced calls/dates are awkward, seemingly just for the sake of making "interesting" tv. None of them seem comfortable with themselves, let alone others. Too many awkward silences amongst them all. It's as if no one has ever been in a social situation before. I know part of that is the culture, and part of it is being forced to live with a bunch of strangers specifically with the aim of finding love, but still they should be able to hold conversations. And not every conversation needs to be "who else do you like in the house". I'd NEVER ask that question. First, none of my business. Second, I don't want to know if it's not me or if it's the guy that I like. That's just begging for unnecessary drama. All of them are cute. But I haven't gotten enough of their individual personalities to know any of them, or who fits with whom, or whom I would pick. I like the drag performer. He's my type physically. He seems relaxed, but still a bit shy. But Eun Chan is such a lost puppy that I have a big crush on him as well.

A sweet simple low budget coming of age/coming out story. Not much to distinguish it from the pack, except maybe the rural setting. Not the best dialogue either. A bit repetitive and lacking real substance and layers The boys are obviously comfortable together after so many series, but Oak will never be a fav of mine, even though he has improved since his first few outings. I won't rewatch, but it's worth a viewing if you need a quick simple BL fix.

Mon continues to impress. Why can't he get a big budget production or a full length series?

3 eps in and I'm enjoying it, mostly for Akira. Great facial expressions that convey so much of the complicated situation he is in. I don't care about age gap. I've always dated guys younger than me, and my current BF is 10 years younger. Of course, he's not 18. I understand why people are concerned about that. In the past I did date some very young guys, but it never lasted because they just didn't have the life experience or maturity but Shin seems mature and seems to know what he wants, and Akira is trying his best to hold him off. Love the small town feel, shopkeepers all knowing each other. Looking forward to seeing how this one plays out.

I'm bored. The pacing is a bit slow for me, especially for a sci fi mystery. I find the conversations lacking energy and while the MC are fine, I just want to see OhmNanon more. Not sure I will stick this one out, but I'll give it another episode or 2.

This series had its pros and cons, but one thing I can say is that all BL couples should watch this to learn how to kiss. There is a LOT of kissing here. Prolonged kissing. And these guys make it look REAL. I mean, it's obviously staged, film kissing, and there's no tongue or anything, but boy it made those scenes very hot. And Hao has the most intense, "I can barely control myself" look in his eyes during those sexy scenes. Very few do that better, If I watch again, I'll probably skip everything except the MC (and Tse Shou's Dad, who is fantastic - and I may have a bit of a Daddy crush on him). All in all, a decent series that has a unique setting, some deeper themes and the best kisses in BL.

i'm only on Ep 5, but they really make Fah out to be an ass. Instead of trying to do nice things for his love interest, he just steals his rival's lunch? Jerk. But Mesa just gets cuter every episode. Can't believe that guy is 30. Old enough for me to date!

Exactly the same as the first version yet so much better. Yin has improved dramatically. I almost couldn't watch him in the first version, or more correctly, I couldn't take my eyes off War. Now, I can't take my eyes off Yin. Their chemistry is some of the best I've seen. Naturally. They've spent over 2 years contemplating these characters and their relationship. Plot is cliche and far too familiar, but these two and all the boy candy surrounding them make it worth the watch.

No, it just seems like they're setting it up for one.

Unlike many of you, I'm struggling. If it wasn't so short I would probably drop it, but the 3 eps are over before I know it. I am not believing either actor, I find the editing slow, staying too long on reactions so they become uncomfortable and Boss continues to creep me out. Smell your shirt? Ew. I'm waiting for some big reveal/secret like he's actually a 40 year old man or something. The remaining 8 eps are only about 25-30 minutes, so I'll finish the series, but it's not strong and not a fav.

Well, his pants did get "all wet", so there's that!

I thought the almost kiss was perfect. Japan is still a fairly homophobic country, so two grown men, just at the start of their real relationship, still uncertain and nervous, one whom is just realizing he might like men, out in public, would probably behave just as they did. It all felt perfectly in character and tone with the whole series. Plus, we got 2 beautiful kisses and a finger in Ep 4, so I have nothing to complain about.
