That finale just about ruined what enjoyment I had previously gotten from this show. Just useless. They could have added 1 more minute to episode 7 and gotten to the same result. So unsatisfying. I wish this genre attracted good writers, but from what I understand the pay is very low. Too bad.

Again, I didn't dislike it as much as many of you. And again, probably because of my crush on Ji Woo - who I think did a great job in his role. I liked the stalker storyline, although it really had nothing to do with the MC and I wish we had at least known the guy in some manner before his reveal, but at least it brought a different dimension to the story and brought some light to a serious on-campus problem worldwide. I DID see the signs that JiWoo was open to MM relationships and watched as his attachment to RoA grew and became more than friendship, so his realization at the end felt natural to me. Yes, I would have liked an episode where he struggled a bit more and finally gave into his feelings, but I thought his rejection of Yu Na was handled fairly well and certainly in an adult fashion. I liked Nam Jun and Hye Won (although her stalker behavior was more disturbing to me than the actual stalker), but the teacher's reactions throughout were great and I liked that he relented now that she was no longer his student. Nam Jun WAS a great friend, despite having feelings for RoA. That was heartwarming. A lighter piece of BL confection, but I wouldn't mind revisiting it.

Wow. I thought I was a harsh critic. Nope. Y'all got me beat. Haha.

Yes, this one has major problems, but somehow it's so light and inconsequential (and short) that it didn' t bother me half as much as it did the rest of you. I guess I forgave everything because Han Gi Chan is just so beautiful. Holland on the other hand is not my cup of udon. And yes, his acting is bad. Should they have explained things better? Damn straight. What bothered me the most was how many times they closed the restaurant for stupid reasons. Not the best way to get a business up and running and gain a reputation. But I still enjoyed this show for its unique premise and setting and ADULT storyline. And Gi Chan. Did I mention him? Sigh.

you are correct. my bad. this is definitely BL and no different from Bad Buddy when Ohm had a crush on that girl for a few episodes.

You're very mature.

But the tag attracted attention for those that wanted a BL. It's like selling someone a peanut butter sandwich and when they bite into it, it's liver. You're expecting something and got something different. What's wrong with tagging a show appropriately?

No, you could cut a movie into 6 episodes and it would still have the same complex characters (unless it's a crappy movie). It's just that the writing ihere s not as good as in most feature films.

I know this will not be a popular comment, but I thought Le was gay the whole season. I knew he liked Wen Wen, but he was a little boy then. And little boys don't know what love or romance truly is. I thought he simply missed his FRIEND. I assumed he had come to realize his own feelings/sexuality in the interim 10 years. He seemed attracted to, interested in and moving closer and closer to Amber from the outset. Theirs did not seem like a boy-boy friendship, but a budding romantic relationship. I wish they had been a little clearer/more overt with his hetero inclinations (did he ever talk about liking girls at all? maybe I missed it). Then I might have bought into his hesitance to date Amber.

Also, it seems like he came to the realization that he actually loved Amber in the cafe after Amber runs away. He gets that shocked expression. "What am I doing?" (I thought that was a little too easy and fast). But then he goes back to being clueless until his conversation with YuHe. Then he gets the same shocked expression. "Am I too late to realize this now?" (Again, I thought this was fast and easy). I'm not suggesting it take him months to figure it out, but this quick reversal just seemed a bit too easy for my tastes.

I am in love with ALL the actors in this series. What a phenomenal job they are all doing. Kudos to all.

They mattered because their love helped Le define his own. The pacing was a bit slower than most BL, but then again, this is a more thoughtful BL tackling much more complex issues. In all honesty, I think Le came to his realization a little too fast and easily.

You know, discussion and opposing viewpoints are all valid, but name-calling and shaming is never called for. You diminish your own arguments by resorting to juvenile accusations.

That scene in the car may be my favorite of the whole series. Yu He was excellent there (as always).

And he's so much better here

Wow. Responses here just got overwhelmingly negative.

I agree that the show has problems. The story goes back and forth and back again. I'm very tired of Kluen's inability to respond or express his feelings IN WORDS (a few kisses don't really explain it all). There is really only one conflict in this show... does he like me and can I accept it. It's a bit shallow and in need of some real character development, but I still think it's better than a lot of the genre. After recently dropping like 6 shows in a row, at least I can stick with this one (but as one viewer commented below, it's probably because I'm watching week to week, and forget in the interim just how minor this one is).

But I actually thought Joong did a very nice job in this episode, especially in the garage scene. And I don't have a problem with Dunk, either (of course that may be because I'm head over heels for him). It's almost over at least (and boy did that trailer for next episode give EVERYTHING away?)

I agree. Of all the games they played this season this was the worst.

That was about the dullest finale I've ever seen, but the perfect way to end an equally dull series. Everything just kind of fizzled out into nothing. So the show was about... friendship. Ok. Not a bad theme, but not truly supported. There were so many friends here in this gigantic cast that the theme could have been so strong, but none of it was really examined in detail. I suppose I applaud them for not giving easy/happy endings to all the characters, but maybe ONE of them could have been happy (I supposed Pond did get his pick of many girls, but not in a satisfying manner). One of the most awkward foreplay scenes I've even seen. These guys looked uncomfortable and as if they had never taken their own shirts off before. Sad. Lots of actors with potential, Micky, Pond, Tim - even Mon if he's given a character that isn't comatose. Thankfully I watched this on 1.5 speed for most of the season. I probably would have dropped otherwise. Direction/editing needed a major overhaul. Best part of the series for me were Mon's biceps. They weren't big or buff, but I found myself gazing at them longingly all the time, and he is in tank tops most of the season, so you get to see a lot of them. Keep working out, Gap.

Yes, I recognized JungHyun as well.

One of the reasons they might not have customers could be that they still hav the same chairs as they did 10 years ago. (the cafe looks exactly the same in flashbacks ).

So Win can actually act. It's not apparent here, but now I blame it on the director. He's very good in his small role in Star In My Mind.

I agree. Plus, half of this episode was watching people make and taste food. There's zero character development watching someone chop (or chew) vegetables. Thank god we're on the back half..
