I always thought he was good looking, but nothing to write home about.... then he got drunk and doused himself in water and his curly hair really made him so dreamy!

Lol. I’m not making anything up. The end is very clear. The last shot is of a boy crying his heart out.

You seem to think you know me. Lololol. I actually have a very positive view of gay life. I’ve managed to be very happy and fulfilled in mine, so obviously I know it’s possible for everyone.

But this writer does not believe that. I’m glad for you that YOU see a different ending. But I’m just responding to the actual show, not a made up version of a made up future.

Ps: don’t get your panties so twisted. I don’t care what you think about me either. Geez. Relax.

I enjoyed this until the very abrupt ending. I have no problem with sad endings. I love to cry. It just kind of slammed into a brick wall and ended, which threw me and ruined the experience for me.

War is so good. I hope he has a long successful career.

But characters are supposed to learn and grow. That’s the nature of a narrative. Start your hero in one place, put them through trials and then allow them to learn, adjust and either triumph or fail. I guess here we could say Best fails.

But what is the writer trying to tell us with this story? That gay love will lead to heartbreak. That’s it. That’s what Best learns. You can love, you can even BE loved, but you’ll end up crying alone in your bedroom in the end.

To me, that’s not a story worth telling… unless you’re a homophobe with an agenda. And it’s fascinating to me that an entire industry, writers, producers, networks are built around gay love when so clearly they are frightened and disgusted by it. So either the industry is full of hypocrites who (for profit only) will seemingly promote gay love while they loathe gays, or their agenda is to show the challenges of gay love solely to convinvce boys NOT to fall in love. Either way, I’m disgusted and disappointed.

It’s interesting to hear your fantasies for their futures. I don’t look at it this way. I see the end as THE END. the story ends with multiple heartbreaks. Period. End of story. That’s what this show tells us in the end. Heartbreak is the outcome of gay crushes. Girls are spiteful, parents are cruel and selfish and being gay leads to heartbreak. I feel sad that the writer has this perspective.

Real life gay live stories are TRAGIC? While many people still treat gays as “less than”, there are literally millions of happy gay couples in the world. Believe in the possibility and it can become your reality. Perpetuate the negative and that’s all you will ever see.

I am definitely getting an on-the-spectrum vibe from him. You're right, it's not fully realized by the writers and probably just accidental that he behaves like that, but he's just so clueless about life, there can't be another explanation (other than poor writing)

Watched the BL edit only. Cute. Good performances from the boys. Stretched some of the comedy a bit. Far too many "staring into space lost in thought" moments for me. Maybe the edit left out some crucial parts, but was surprised halfway through the show that JoonJae had a girfriend when there had been no mention of her before then - and especially since he's obviously smitten with Takuya the very first time they meet. But two sweet cuties falling in love was fun.

Cute, sweet, simple. Very basic BL formula. My only real problem is that - like in so many BL - they work so hard to make one of the leads unlikeable at the beginning so there is conflict between the two, then the change just feels abrupt and unrealistic. Who would ever fall for such an arrogant, entitled jerk and can someone like that really change so much?

Filled with tropes but still an enjoyable little piece of fluff worthy of a viewing. But as everyone says, there are much better Seasons in this franchise.

Art film project. Well done, except for the pacing. Too many of those long takes where a character just stands staring into space forever. I've watched a couple of times and tried to make sense of it, but can't quite (like everyone), but I get the gist of it and it's beautiful and quite touching. Would only say Bromance, despite the "I love you" line. Friends can love each other too.

The two actors do a very good job. But what has become of them both? They don't seem to have acted a lot (or at all) since this was produced. What a shame. They are both very good and very handsome. I'm so intrigued by Best/Ton's upper thigh tattoos. Would like to see more of those. And Champ's chest tattoo was gorgeous too.

The prequel was lovely, but the editing in this version was very confusing. It starts in the middle of the story, then goes back to the beginning so I got confused as to where they were in their relationship and why they were acting like they didn't know each other and even why Film seemed unclear. There were also random shots of Film on the court alone for no apparent reason. (I guess he was hoping Kong would show up???).

Solid acting in both versions (since they are essentially the same film just re-edited) but felt like they could have just combined these to make one 30 min film instead of 2 20 minute films.

And I agree with everyone, ruined by the trope at the end. (Has any gay man EVER met a guy who has said anything like this? I've dated a lot and even dated guys who claimed to be straight, but never has anyone said anything remotely like this. Is it solely so the fangirls can believe that Film will eventually go back to girls and choose them in the end?)

Just watch the first one.

Something told me to watch this at 2x and I'm glad I did. Not bad, but just not something I felt needed much time or attention. So many stories to tell in such a little time that each felt like there were holes. Still, in all, there were some decent storylines and relationships. At times they did feel like real siblings and a real family, so kudos to the team on that. The much hyped homophobia was indeed odd, especially since the oldest sibling is also in a relationship with their trans(?) helper. But somehow that doesn't elicit the anger (although there are hints of it earlier). Felt like they could have wrapped up Markie's story a bit better. Not sure why they even needed the guy at the bar, since he had Daniel. Does Enzo only play gay roles? Surprising. All in all, decent and worth a viewing.

Pierce/Typhoon: Felt forced. Perhaps if the story had played out over 90 minutes we would have gotten a sense of the growing troubles and then actually felt like their relationship was in danger. But in 21 mins it became laughable. Typhoon complains that Pierce spends all his time at work... after one night. Ridiculous. (PS: Writers, maybe talk to the composers about how they actually write and produce music if that's going to be a critical part of your story.)
Moojoom/Xin: Bizarre. Not that I have a problem with that. Felt like an "Art School Project". Hard to truly care for a character that's a cat, or rejoice when the relationship is just owner/pet. Felt like they could have paid more attention to actual cat behavior and tried to replicate it.
Ping/Peam: Adorable. I actually thought Ping was a "ghost" helping him on his journey and the guy in black was gonna be the love interest. Cute and sweet, simple story. Great job. (My fav of the 6)
Mini/Titan: Silly little fluff. Wish the hint of romance had been developed a bit more, but cute nonetheless.
Night/Mek: A very sweet story. Definitely brings you back to olden days. Think the bromance could have been developed a bit further, but cute and well done.
Ray/Jedi: A bit of a puzzler, but I like a different kind of story. I was not a Copter fan in GenY. He had his moments, but I felt it was all a bit forced. But here he is very natural and much more likeable. Kimmon was more natural here too, although he still has a tendency to be a bit phony/forced. He tries too hard, rather than just letting the dialogue shine and his emotions show. But still I enjoyed it and got the fuzziest BL vibes in this segment.

My recommendation: Skip the first two segments and just watch the others.

Perhaps I was trope conditioned but I did see some acting going on. I sensed that ShinWoo was hurt, conflicted and recognized that there were reasons for his attitude so I chose to cut him some slack until they revealed why.

The list of tropes I despise is too long to enumerate.

Was not expecting a side couple in 3 episodes. I wonder if we'll get anything more than just a couple of glances.

To appeal to their target age group - high school girls.

They do this a lot in Thai BL. The obsess about someone's looks in the dialogue, but then don't cast actors who match the description (Are you listening, TOSSARA?). It seems they never contemplate adjusting the script. Cutting a few "hot" references takes about 30 seconds, guys. And how shallow. All anyone ever talks about are his looks. If that's ALL he's got to be proud of, should our hero really fall in love with him then? I honestly don't think BL writers know anything about love.

I'll say. Both of the ships have gone from 0-100 fairly quickly. But they don't have a lot of episodes, so...

Caught up on Eps 5 & 6. Not much goes on, but I'm still loving every second of it. My personal opinion: I don't think DaOn has any interest in TK, other than just being nice to him. I think it's a mis-direct, so we will think there's a love triangle - but then they will clear the path for the TK/Shinwoo-ship. Just a guess (and I admit 75% of my guesses are wrong).

Very cute little bit of nothing. Strong acting from the two boys. Great expressions that really sell you what they're feeling. Good direction. Not much here, but it's all cute and sweet and I think the actors have potential to lead their own series. Nice job.
