Eh. Just ok. Felt unfinished. A different side of BL, but not really a complete story Would not watch again, not enough to draw me in.

Cute little short with a fun magical element. Nothing to write home about but a fun 14 minute distractin.

A nice art-house/student film. Takes what a typical BL would shows us in 2 episodes and trims it down to 3:30. Well shot, beautiful boys, some nice longing looks and a hopeful ending. Not something I would recommend, but only because it brings absolutely nothing new to the genre. It's perfectly sweet but I don't need to see it again.

I watched one sub version where the other two boys (class leader and friend) say something about "you can't recognize faces" in an early episode. The other sub version did not have that line. But it was not fully explored in the series and when it showed up at the end I felt like it was a bit convenient. But it didn't bother me enough to complain. Haha.

I don't know if I can say anything bad about this. I was in love at first sight. The cinematography, the most beautiful couple ever, the acting, the story, the music. The pain, the joy, the bliss, the acceptance, the humor, the tenderness, the raw honest emotion. Two characters who articulated themselves and their desires. Son Woo Hyun turns what could have been an obnoxious stereotype into the most charming character. His giddiness when he eats, his smile. He is so endearing. Kim Kang Min in all his raw, tender vulnerability melts your heart. You have to fill in some character backstories on your own, that I wish were explained a bit more, if I can be nit-picky. Side characters are all well developed. I'll watch it again and again (already have).

I've not seen Sam before, so I can only judge him here. I really liked him, but Yu steals every scene. He has a quiet intensity. If Yu looked at me like that... no words.

A cute short, with a couple of nice twists. A coming-out BL - but the real story is the love between mother and son, which is just as touching. Loved the "shrinkage" scene. Very funny and sweet. No real romance, the boys hook up and then are an instant (adorable) couple. Needs a better sub, because with a little more finesse the script could have been even more dynamic and impactful. (Not sure which version I saw, so no offense to any other subbers) Almost didn't recognize young War, he's grown into such a handsome young man. I might watch again, but it's not a must for repeated viewings, although the short running time helps.

Not my favorite ending, but I guess it's all to set up S2. Yu is so good. Lots of emotions going on in that expressive face. I'm happy seeing them so comfortable and affectionate with each other, although they got there kinda fast (with only 6 eps, I guess you have to). I'm not a fan of the Doc. He's a little creepy and kind of a jerk. Hope to see the side couples more in S2. They are all great. For a series that has only familiar elements and tropes and storylines we've seen a hundred times before, this was just perfect. I'll watch again and again (I'm already on 2nd viewing). My heart is melting.

I've never seen anyone's eyes show such desire. Win is IT.

I didn't insult anyone. Oy.

The two mains are both naked (if I remember you get a butt shot and lots of other skin) and sex is shown with nothing left to the imagination. It's adult, R-rated for sure... and in all honesty wasn't really necessary. I watched it on YT, so I guess I must have seen it before it got taken down.

Top-notch production, starting with a strong script with so many memorable characters, solid acting across the boards, handled many complex themes with great care. It was really difficult to watch. It pushed a lot of buttons and that's just what it was meant to do, and I am grateful for it. Yes, the ending is ambiguous, although I think there are many indications as to exactly what happens and exactly what each of them are thinking/feeling and just how f-ed up the whole relationship was from the beginning, but everyone can draw their own conclusions. Watch this, but be ready for some misery and suffering.

A beautiful short series/film. Edward Chen does another amazing job, as does Xu Tao (so cute, such expressive eyes). Very similar to Your Name Engraved... which is odd, since Edward is in that one too. A bit more serious in its treatment of homophobia and bullying, but handled expertly. I got confused for a bit. Didn't know who the little Sailor Moon boy was, or how he fit into the story. Wasn't until the end that I realized he was in the same class. Probably just missed his intro. They could have given us one more kiss at the end... come on, they'e been waiting 17 years. Charming and I will watch again, although I might stop at Ep 6 or 7 before it gets painful. Even the little hope at the end still stings a bit for the lifetime of pain that preceded it.

Cute and sweet. But I wish it had a proper arc and ending. Won't watch again.

Agree. Think they were trying too hard.

I was going to wait til I finished the season, but I just can't. Ahhh. This was perfection. So cute. Already watched it twice. Nothing original at all, but very well done, great acting from everyone, down to the very minor roles. Mom, best girl friend, especially. Strong writing. Every gay man's fantasy admission of love, screaming it from the top of his lungs from the bridge. The turn comes quickly, but with 6 eps that's to be expected. Will be interesting to see S2.

Another messy episode. More men in speedos singing karaoke. As if the last episode wasn't enough. The soft core porn scene had some of the worst open mouth, tongue flailing, licking your face kissing I've ever seen. It wasn't romantic or tender and it certainly wasn't sexy or hot. And I'm really happy to see both boys naked, but try to give it some meaning. Dubbing was worse than usual, poor actors stand around helplessly as the camera wobbles all over the place, on their hands when it should be on their faces and vice versa. A birthday, a wedding, a murder, a funeral. They tried to pack everything in except logic. If they trick us and keep extending it, I'll drop it. Sorry guys. Wish you the best, but the bar is quite high for Covid-era BL. Better luck next time.

Best of luck. I would love Season 2 (and 3 and 4 and 5). You've done an amazing job here. Big fan! Keep up the GREAT work. Cheers

Beautiful, touching, perfectly acted. Feels like some important moments were left out (some of which can be glimpsed in the end credits, though not in the film). Found the timeline/editing a little confusing and unnecessary. This was more moody and atmospheric than in depth. Story is very familiar but well done. Ending was sad and hopeful at the same time. I’ll watch parts of this again for the beauty of these two boys being tender but probably won’t watch the whole thing because it’s sad and painful.

I have been told that other people were cuter than me and it did not scar me in the least. I did not say the other guy was ugly. I just said this one was cuter. There was nothing negative or hurtful or toxic in my post at all. But thanks for being so quick to judge.
