Dropped after 3. Not my cup of tea. Too over the top and the pacing really needs to be accelerated for this to have any sense of comedy.

My only real issue with Thorn is the idea that he broke up with Fah because he didn't have time for him - knowing that he was in the most rigorous training schedule of his life. And if Thorn had not been injured he too might have been that busy. Would Fah have left him because of that? I don't think so. I understand he was upset about not playing for so long , and missing the opportunity to be on the national team - but this didn't feel like the Thorn of the early series. The one who pursued Fah without ever knowing if they would play together again or not.

You shouldn't really criticize something you haven't watched.

That made me laugh, so you disprove your own point. LOL.

All I meant about Saint was that at least he seemed to have purpose and intention and was taking action. He seems to be alive, while So seems to be sleep walking.

Comedy is subjective. What is hilarious to one may not be to another. I’m glad you found the humor in it for yourself.

I knew what they were doing. I've watched enough shows to know when a moment is meant to fake you out. And I knew they were GOING for comedy. But nothing about this show makes me laugh or even smile. Just doesn't connect with me the way they are intending. But glad you're enjoying it.

And he's keeping the flower shop a secret. He told his brother that he was at the library. What's with the need for secrecy for an after school job? I think they may end up tying it together later (giving flowers or some such), but that's just a guess.

OMG. Wasn't expecting that kiss so soon. Not sure Ok Jin Uk pulled away as himself or the character. But these two are adorable together. They have a great chemistry. And the drunken breakdown was beautiful and touching. Can't wait to see the tears flow next ep.

Having some trouble with this one. Feels like they cut out a lot of stuff in between scenes. With only 2 eps left, I'll stick with it, but I'm not expecting to be satisfied with the conclusion given the chaotic beginning.

Ep 3 & 4 were a trial to get through. Lots of FF through basketball and endless scenes of lollipop searching. Characters are so thin and mostly lifeless, except for Micky, Pond and Saint (none of whom are getting enough storyline - although looks like Micky will find love - eventually. I'm just hating all the forced "moments" - like when Saint went to reach for his backpack and So trembled in "fear" and all that super tense music... for a lollipop. Trying to find drama where there is none. I contemplated dropping this, but I'll probably just watch at 2x from here on out just for Micky alone... until they force me to drop it.

I liked the friendship and family relationships in the First Ep. It felt like natural, realistic dialogue. The silly "ghost hunters" aspect was at least something different and unique. We shall see how it progresses, but I'm intrigued.

Not really much to go on in the first episode. I'll watch since it's so short, but not expecting much.

Looks like all the budget went into the sets and clothes, with nothing left over for the script.

2nd episode did not improve on the first. After you mistakenly assume that someone is your massage therapist, grab them roughly, and then wind up pulling them into a bath, soaking their very high end suit in the process... you continue to treat them like crap without so much as a "sorry for the confusion"?? I don't care how rich and entitled you are, there is no redemption for someone like this. I'll wait til the show finished, so I can 2x through this crap.

Regardless of what the source material may or may not have, it's not in THIS script. The writer and director have given us nothing to flesh out this character. You can't judge a tv series on the book. You have to judge it on the tv series alone. 99% of the world has only seen the series and will never read the source material. Even if the actor had read the novel, if the dialogue and scenes aren't in the series... how could he possibly show that?

The waiting is the hardest part.

Thorn waits for Fah to come home from practice every night.
Saen is going to wait for Air to return from Japan
Dome is going to wait for Vee.

Unavailable is the new BL trope.

The time jumps don't really bother me, although I do think they handled some of the important information that came out during those time jumps poorly. And I think they could have written the show to incorporate some of that time and still gotten to the ending just as well. But ultimately, I could follow along fairly well.

I don't disagree, but you have to admit he has very little to work with. He doesn't have a character to play. Aside from basketball, can you tell me what he likes, or what his personality is? He's a blank slate and that's how the actor is portraying him. I'd give a little blame to the director too for not fleshing him out more and giving the actor something to work with.

I think part of the challenge is that most BL writers only know how to write the "falling in love with complications" part and once they put a couple together they don't know how to create interesting conflicts (that don't use the old, "past girlfriend shows up" or "mistaken jealousy" tropes). So once ThornFah were together, their story was basically done and now they're struggling to keep it alive. That's why BL's are BL and not LGBTQIA+ stories. Dealing with the real issues a MM couple has is not in their wheelhouse.

I think the writers KNEW they did not have a strong MC, and that's why they gave us 2 other couples. Imagine if all of that drama had been given to just one couple, what an interesting series it would have been. Dating a sister, moving to Japan, AND shared basketball dreams from one pair? Wow.

I agree that Fah is the most underwritten of all the characters. But I did see some growth and warmth once they became a couple that I really liked. But he lost all his basketball drive - which was one of the few things that they had established for his character. The actor may not be the strongest in the series, but I don't dislike him as much as many of the comments.

Yes, the Air/Saen "go or don't go" has gone on too long, but similarly the DomeVee "we're attracted, we back off, move forward, back off" has been going on just as long (actually longer). I think it's just the juicy part of their story (and some solid acting) that has kept us from complaining about their storyline.

But for me... this is a series that is strong enough overall to make me want more. For some reason, I thought this was only 10 episodes, so I was shocked and delighted when I realized I still have 2 more eps to go.
