Ugh. That's probably because of COVID complications and the like, which means we might never see the conclusion ... or we'll see a conclusion where everybody talks on the phone. Phooey. :(

omg that sucks the big D

Are Valen and Kaitoon really going to end up as the main couple? I've watched only through Episode 4 but according to GagaOoLala there's only two episodes left, and there still seems to be so much distance between them. I really hope there's ten episodes otherwise I can't imagine how they can become a couple in a believable way.

Is Kaitoon really that much of a catch? He seems a little airheaded and aloof. Cute as the devil but despite all of the attention directed his way he doesn't project anything back toward anyone else other than the same pleasant but non-committal personality.

And as @jpny01 commented, for him not to be there for Valen's performance -- and then to tell him that the brief appearance that he *did* make was for someone else -- is simply thoughtless.

Wow! Just dropped by to browse the comments, but I'm sold!

I know what you mean about Earth. He is now getting typecast as the whiny kid and for his next project he should insist on a role like the one you suggest.

The bullying seemed to take things only up to a certain point and stop short of getting to the level of cruelty I've seen in other series, like in "Who Are You" (both the Kdrama and Thai versions). For example, instead of pouring water over Ozone's head they'd be dumping his lunch on him, or shoving his face into the bathing water. And when they stripped him down in the bathhouse they let him keep is boxers on instead of going for the full humiliation of nakedness. For me that's why locking him in a utility closet seemed especially lame. He wasn't even in the dark in there. So, I've seen much worse in other series.

As for Santa, he's just "wow". Eye candy from head to toe and clearly ready for stardom. I'm not one to replay kiss scenes but that's one I've watched a few times. I think you called it right: he's not afraid of intimacy. That full-body press is rare in BL, and avoidance of it is usually the tell-tale sign that one or both actors wishes he didn't have to do it. (Another tipoff is when two boys stand side-by-side with their arms around each other's shoulders while keeping their hips six inches apart.)

Earth's reaction as Ozone was also just right -- eyes at first wide with surprise, then closed as he takes advantage of the moment. That whole scene was very well done.

The abrupt shift to the graduation party was odd. I can't tell how much of a time jump that was in the context of the story, but if it was more than a week or two then it would be surprising that the two boys wouldn't have finally talked it out by then.

I don't know the manga so the differences aren't an issue. I'm reacting only to the series.

You seem to be willing yourself to see what you want to see in pursuit of another HEA.

What can I say. It's brilliant. The acting, direction, cinematography -- rather typical for a good Kdrama, but it's nice to see our Thai favorites starring in such a classy production.

I figured something eerie would be involved since it started out a bit like "The Shining". (Tommy's character would fit right in with that movie.)

Peach is too fussy and borderline annoying. Only a person who's seen little strife in life could keep nagging a guy about reconciling with the mother he's been in a mutual hate relationship with since he was a toddler. When a compulsive do-gooder keeps pushing like that it starts to become more about them than the person they're trying to "help". Hey, Peach: Shut yer yap and try listening to what your friend is telling you.

Choi Jae Hyun -- talk about a star-making performance! The beginnings are there already. Based on "Run On" I knew he had a spark but this is a role he can sink his teeth into.

My guess about the direction this will go is that Peach will somehow help Yoon Oh to make peace with his mom (hopefully not by nagging him to a second death) as well as cope with the other sadnesses in his life, so that he can pass over to the other side in peace. He'll probably do the same for Tommy's character but I don't think that will feel as momentous -- maybe it will be played a little as a comedic element.

To enjoy this I suspect you'll need to set aside the hope for a typical BL romance that makes your heart flutter. If we can adjust our expectations I think we'll be blown away by this.

I agree with you 100%. Lots of complaints about the pacing and realism, but not from me. Sometimes I think people on here will never be satisfied, or feel a need to equivocate so that their opinion seems more sophisticated.

As for the title, I guess we should be glad they didn't go with "Eat Me" or "Taste Me". But puerile is the right word to describe it.

"My Huckleberry Friends" .... It's a reverse of "Our Secrets" because the FL is the smart one and the ML is the one who will do anything for her. And one of the best endings of any drama.

Easily one of the best first episodes of anything, ever.

I'm excited for this one too. The actor who plays the Korean ML was a supporting character in the Kdrama "Run On", where I was so sure he would end up as a BL side story with another character -- a competitive runner who had a sweet personality and needed someone to love him.

I can't believe I'm going to see him in a BL after all!

I agree. This is also the only nit that I would pick.

Some here have speculated that Shin Woo had been attracted to TK well before TK joined the Council. From there (keeping with your theory) Shin Woo freaked out when TK showed up as a potential Council member because his feelings had got him in trouble before.

Still, even if that's the case I think they should have softened Shin Woo's personality a little.

I guess I'm odd man out. I agree with everyone about the hot bodies of both leads, but otherwise I thought the story was hum-drum and predictable. Some of the humor fell flat too, and that includes all the histrionics and commentary by the resort hostess. An actual luxury resort would fire such a nosy creature asap.

The episode does get credit, though, for introducing me to the gorgeous OST "Our Song" by Adelyn Paik, which I immediately bought from iTunes.

I'll certainly "check out" the main series once it starts (if only to keep seeing Best with no shirt) and hopefully it will make a better impression.

Yes! I'd been hoping his storyline there would turn out to be BL. Now I get my reward. :)

They've already started revising the past by saying that Fiat really did want to steal Type away from Tharn in TT2, whereas in the big confession scene after the kidnapping it was all about how Fiat was just desperate to get Leo's attention.

They need to stop with this nonsense lol.

This is the best BL series running right now.

I also like "Love Area" a lot but I give DSN the edge (for now.)

I'm holding off on the last few episodes of "The Yearbook" until I know whether anyone gets killed off at the end.

Whatever the reason Pob has for being interested in Leo, I hope it's not amorous. Please let it be a false alarm on Leon's part.

I also hope that the series won't be trying to rewrite Fiat's slutty past by making it seem like he was sleeping around out of kindness, rescuing others from their bad relationships. They might be afraid to ruin the vibe of the new Fiat in DSN by reminding us too much of the Fiat from TT2. I say bring it on!

I couldn't get past Episode 7. The FL is just too annoying. ML is super handsome. I hope this disaster doesn't tank his career before it gets started.

Darn. Based on comments here the ending looks really up in the air, maybe until the last episode.

I fell in love with the series by Episode 3 but have held off since then. I hope I'll have a wonderful reason to finish it.

I googled him and just about any other pic that turns up is better than the one they used here. But I know the MDL rules for actor portraits: no take-backs!
