This series is a prime example of what a solid, conclusive happy ending can mean to BL fans. By avoiding an open ending for the main characters and leaving the possibility of sequels for the supporting characters, they even lock in the potential for a franchise.
And now hundreds of us will be recommending this series to friends and family, and rewatching it ourselves. That will be noticed in the industry. Future Kdrama BLs will have something to live up to because LOM is going to become the series they'll be compared to.
I fall off from my bed when they kissed. I was screaming like this is the end of the world and i got what i wanted…
Not just one but two kisses ... and it came across as their first kiss, or maybe they were just aware that their friends were standing nearby. But it was like the series wanted to leave us with something truly memorable after putting us through the wringer. :)
Kudos to the screenwriter for creating a love triangle that was the hardest to predict of any I've seen. And for giving us with a finale of fluff from start to finish! The choice was made within the first few seconds and we even got a couple of kisses. I feel rewarded and grateful.
I will enjoy rewatching this, and who knows, maybe somebody on here with mad internet skillz could organize a weekend marathon watch party someday so we can all do that together.
If this list was based on talent instead of popularity some of these guys would be out and others would go right to the top (*cough cough* Singto *cough cough*)!
If Da On ends up with TK then I don't expect a Season Two. The series is about TK's first love. If Shinwoo doesn't prevail then Da On is the first love and that's that.
And do we really want to wait months only to have expectations crushed again? Because every Season Two is about a couple breaking up then getting back together again. If Season One of this series ends badly then I'm done with it, period.
As the series reaches its final episode your article should be required reading for the Jae Eon apologists and romanticizers on the drama's MDL page. For me at this point whenever he appears on screen I shrink back as though the campus vampire has just showed up at the blood bank.
Will the series stay true to Jae Eon's amoral nature, or will it attempt to convince us of the ultimate cliche, that a person so selfish and uncaring would suddenly be transformed by love?
This is one of the very first kdramas I watched after subscribing to Viki, and having recently revisited it I have to say that lightning really did strike with this one -- perfect cast, fantastic script, just funny and sweet from start to finish. Years from now we'll look back on this one as one of the great classics of Asian drama.
Leon ... what can I say ... his visuals are off the charts. When he's onscreen he's the only one I want to look at.
It's going to take me a while to realize that James, the actor who plays Pod, is *not* Louis Thanalin, who played Meen in "Fish Upon the Sky". They look so alike to me. However, Louis gave one of the most dismal performances of the year in FUTS, so I expect that James will quickly distinguish himself by not delivering his lines like a mentally challenged robot.
This episode had more Satha and Nut than any so far. I still don't know why they suddenly started to get along but this was one of the better weeks.
I guess nobody thought that naming a series "My Boy" and then including a character named Boy would be confusing, especially when that character turns out to be a villain (although a hot villain to be sure.)
I guess it's hard to keep track when you're busy leaving hater comments in every comment section lol.

It's always a fun debate though!
Thank you... that is all. :)
Did they think we'd be touched by Shiwoon giving her flowers? The feeling was more like seeing that she'd gotten away with murder.

If the way this ends is with Shinwoo all alone while that wicked creature So Hee gets rewarded with Shiwoon then this series is truly messed up.
