Can't wait for the new hairdo to appear next week! It's amazing how a bowl cut can really make you look so different. - Also Cannon and Jiang seem to get cuter each episode. - This is such silly fun. I can only imagine if it were a BL (with Bi Yu being some cute boy). I'd be over the top. But loving every second of this.

Nope. Can't do it. Couldn't even get through half of Ep2. Such a high quality production with such a low quality script and poorly thought out characters. I'm sure I'll be seeing all these very cute boys in other series but I can't stomach this one.

Nothing original, but nothing horrible. Certainly worth another ep or two to see how it progresses.

2nd ep better than the first, but still this conceit that people can ask you questions and you just ignore them and never answer. Even coaches. If someone ignored me, I'd be in their face, insisting they answer. The answer can be "none of your business" but it's absolutely rude to ignore people. One more ep. before I throw in the towel.

I'm pretty sure it's part of their funding. Showcase a particular tourist area of Thailand and get some $ for the production (or at least that ep). I'm not complaining. We get see some beautiful areas and now just a basketball court.

Pond was in “The Medium”

I do live in a large city, and. In the US (not known for our kindness, or helping strangers) so okay I’ll give them that. But that’s only one of my issues. Still, I’ll give it one more shot to see if it gets better. Pilots are notoriously hard to fit everything in, and often are a poor representation of what’s to come so… fingers crossed.

I liked parts of this, and other things just didn't make sense to me. Like, who doesn't struggle when they're being strangled? Not surprised by the ending, though they certainly could have figured out a way to keep them together. Felt like it really started to fall apart towards the end. Might have worked better and affected me more if it had time to develop (although I know you can tell effective stories in a short time period). Wouldn't wholeheartedly recommend, but if you want a different type of BL, then give it a quick viewing.

I'm so confused. How can you live with someone in 2 different locations, but need time alone to "get to know them better" the 3rd time you live with them? And what the hell happened at Lolly's that sudddenly made them tentative and upset? Why wasn't THAT shown? Given the comments and the fact that Judah is back to his old paranoid self, I'm not gonna stick with this one. Dropped at Ep2.

A few "where did that come from" moments, and not always in a good way. But still, I'll watch this pair in anything. Charisma x 2.

I did not in any way mean or imply that I wanted anything tender or romantic and I certainly never said I wanted kisses. That’s all on you and in your heads. Please don’t put words in my mouth and then blame me for them.

Yes, there’s no need for aggression, but I will admit that sometimes I don’t even realize the tone of my own remarks. All of our opinions are valid and worth considering.

Knew them both from other BL, seperate and then paired. I liked Off more in his secondary comedic roles, although I think he's doing a pretty good job here. Despite Gun's acting chops, I've never been a big fan.

That was kinda rough. Not a fan of all the long pauses between lines, waiting for someone to respond, many times getting no response at all. Totally ridiculous premise. Didn't buy the immediate connection. Why would you let some stranger hang out at your house, feed him, get him drunk. It just felt awkward and amateurish. Not horrible, but in need of better directing/editing. The actors show SOME promise, so I'll stick it out for another ep, but not getting the vibes yet and not feeling hopeful.

I found the first 10 mins of Ep 3 to be a total waste, just a rehash of exactly what we've gotten in the first 2 eps. Things finally started to get going in the bar. I'm not finding either character that interesting or likeable, although nothing horribly wrong. Just shallow and under developed. It's a short series, so I'll stick with it and hope for the best tom come.

WTF was that? Horrible. Lousy script. Abysmal acting and worst direction I've seen in ages. Mon deserves so much better.

Perhaps, but the majority of viewers have not read the novel, so all we have to go on is the series and they're failing.

I've been wondering if she has suspected they were attracted to each other all along. That seems like something a lot of BL would do.

I was watching a Western drama last night and the two straight leads were having passionate sex, and I didn't see a tongue anywhere. I don't think tongue is as common as we might like.

And I think it all depends on the moment. Sometimes, a passionate kiss is called for (and I love it when it is), but sometimes a chaste kiss is exactly what those two characters would do in that moment. I tend to think of tongue as a precursor to sex, and they certainly weren't going to do that in the dorm.

I've had long-term boyfriends and not every one of our kisses was a tongue-fest. Just saying.

Ep 7 had so many great moments.

Fah's excitement and desire to express his love for Thorn was an unexpected and welcome twist on the usual BL hesitance. Wanting to hold hands and tell their teammates was adorable. I like how Thorn smacked his hand away. No doe-eyed naif, this one.
143. Expressed by both, so soon. My heart.
Loved the fantasy scene where they told the teammates. Funny.
The cute glances shared by Aii and San during the stretch, and then Wee helping San understand Aii's reluctance. Good friends, here.
The team supporting Fah and encouraging him to try out, instead of playing their match. Great friends, all.
The beautiful, unselfish advice Thorn gives Fah in bed. I thought the chaste kiss was the perfect kiss for that moment. But the reactions of the team were priceless. My favorite moment of the series, so far.
San giving Aii the space and time he needs - only to be slapped by the news that he's going to Japan. Great drama.
Pan's advice to Wee and her "i love you" prompting him to get sick (along with his nerves, and possibly something more serious if I'm reading the preview correctly).

This was some of the best, most natural/realistic writing I've seen in BL.

Although I will say, I'm still not sure how Coach Tuan is still coaching given his scandal.

So excited for Ep 8.
