Oh, okay. I watch a lot of m/f dramas. I enjoyed these.

I thought June was a girl until I saw the actor's bio on here. That old picture of him that Toy had in his memento box seemed to show June as a little girl, unless it was just that he was wearing a girly-looking school uniform. (Rather odd that Toy would have that box on hand in his locker at work, though ... and have that picture of June as a child instead of one of him as a high schooler.)

Toy did comment that June had "changed a lot." If this is indeed the start of a transgender storyline then I'm excited to see how they develop it.

If you can, watch "To My Star" and "Where Your Eyes Linger".

"Light On Me" is also a favorite of a lot of people, myself included.

Yes, they did. So dumb.

At least they didn't insult us further by having that be a dream that Valen had. But I went back and watched that final scene in Part 1 and it was so good!

The fight on the stairs at the cafe had a slapstick touch to it, like when the head of one of the attackers went into a gong.

Eurwin does have the pipes, and I like that they let him prove it right from the start.

In gratitude for Adrian's shower scene I will continue to watch. The boy is all that and a bag of chips.

The trailer made me realize this wouldn't be "The Sound of Music", and that helped to put the first episode in perspective. The songs, while not memorable, are pleasant enough, and they allow Eurwin to show that he has the voice for the job.

As with "My Day" it looks like they've put a lot of money into the production, but also like "My Day" they probably should have spent more time workshopping with the cast. But with that said, once I adjusted to the level of acting I was able to sit back and enjoy it. There have been much worse series over the last couple of years.

I wasn't sure where that scene was going when Art undressed Mikey on the bed and straddled him. I guess when you're royalty you just assume you can indulge yourself with the common folk. :)

Will we eventually get a love scene between Art and Mikey? Be still my heart!

Sandee's machinations are the only thing worth watching this season.

Wayu and Thanu .. total snoozefest. The only upside is that Wayu isn't crying every episode. It looks like the conflict for the upcoming episodes will be Thanu wondering if he should be with Phai. (So I should probably prepare for a weeping Wayu after all.)

Pok and Tong have fizzled out after being one of the highlights of Season 1.

Mark and Kit ... it's all very cute but it's on a repeat loop and there's only so much cute I can stand.

And why didn't Padbok come back this season? He and Sandee would be a hot pairing.

I think it's referring to the broken gate. It happened later in the episode and ended up in an embrace that felt a little more affectionate than we'd seen so far.

Multiple accusers kinda put this one in the "True" column anyway. His statement addresses only one of them though.

Bullying someone with a disability is the worst. If that really happened then he's a terrible, terrible person.

Truly awesome. I appreciate all the BOF scholars on this page but this is next level. Great job.

Sounds like my experience on the "Game Boys" page last year..

The breakup was completely out of left field. I was like, "what???" After putting up with so much, they give up with barely a whimper.

During production I imagine a story conference where Episode 11 is discussed and they realize they have to do *something* to create a crisis of some sort. God forbid they just let the boys go home and have the final episode be a celebration of their friends and two families that slowly start to reconcile. What better testimony to the PP relationship would there be than that?

Alas, we will probably get a time jump so that once again we can go through the tension of them meeting and falling in love again. It's the first time in the series that I've felt manipulated.

Precisely.

Hyun Ho didn't fall for Ahra's antics in Season 2 and it looks like he's going to stand up to Se Hee in this season too.

While Se Hee was trying to get him to agree to work together to get their exes back, I was thinking that it was a crucial moment for Hyun Ho's character. If he had gone along with Se Hee and decided to start messing with Yeon Doo's friendship with Ye Seok it would have marked a major change in his decency and likeability. I'm so glad he didn't fall for it!

The writers have a challenge with Yeon Doo's character. From the very beginning she's been 100% kind and good, and this mysterious breakup with Hyun Ho could eventually cast a shadow over that. If she's going to continue to have that angelic image she will need to have a really, really good reason to be putting Hyun Ho through all this pain. After all, he's also trying to do well in school, and the opportunity to attend a university didn't come easily to him.

It happens a lot in these dramas. "Best Mistake" is not alone by any means.

For this season Jin Se Hee is the evil character but I guarantee that by the last episode she will see the error of her ways and bask in forgiveness.

And like you say, Ahra was the evil force in Season 2, but people might forget that it was Ryu Sul who had that role in Season 1. She tried to hurt Yeon Doo after her friends started to accept her. And look at Ryu Sul now, just another one of the girls who we're clearly meant to be cheering for.

These episodes are stuffed full of plot developments. I appreciate that. It's all so deliciously messy, with constant little twists and turns.

Sandee is one fierce mofo. I love it whenever he shows up in a scene. He sure knows how to stir the pot.

I liked how it showed how real bystanders would react to a fight breaking out in an otherwise placid place.

Too often in dramas, characters are yelling at each other or getting rough in public while all the actor-extras just keep going about their business, eating or studying or whatever.

She's definitely the flat tire of this drama. I differ from you in that I felt that way starting with her very first scene.

The story didn't move forward at all. Episode 6 just spun its wheels in the beach sand and went nowhere.

Only four episodes to go and Luke and Calix are still in a standoff. I hope we won't have to wait until the final episode to see that change. The preview for Episode 7 shows Calix pushing Luke against a wall and getting up close but I'm betting that's just a tease.

Don't shoot me for saying this, but to me it has an ITSAY vibe that I really like. I already get the sense that a lot of work and care went into this series.

Excellent first episode!
