Destined to be a classic. Watched my favorite parts of this again last night and boy, this is so on the money it's crazy. Extra points for a unique storyline.
I dropped this weeks ago, but I saw today that the series ended and I’m too curious not to ask: in the series do the two leads ever kiss? Like, really kiss? And if they do kiss, is it one of those camera angle cop-outs? Thanks, fam!
Notable differences between the cut and uncut versions:
- The series as a whole is a flashback to 2018. The uncut version starts in the year 2024, with the adult Hero walking poolside for some kind of corporate event where he is addressed as "boss". He learns that an urgent wedding is about to take place inside the event hall, and this has forced his corporate event to move from the hall to the poolside location outdoors. Hero then encounters someone whose face isn't shown but who is (almost certainly) Poppy. Hero starts off pissed that Poppy had disappeared for a while, "pretending to be dead", but then Hero tries to kiss him. In struggling to avoid the kiss, Poppy ends up pulling Hero into the swimming pool with him.
- After shifting the action to 2018, the scene where Hero goes to deface the poster for his dad's wedding includes someone who gets there before him. (We're later shown that this is Poppy, who of course had tried to obliterate his mom's face on the poster.) Hero gives chase but after a struggle Poppy gets away without Hero seeing his face.
Otherwise it looks like the uncut version had more dialog in some of the other scenes but there was nothing that seemed too important.
I dont understand why this is way much more underated comapared to his man and they boyfriend , this is more entertaining…
I think on this show everyone is "on" all the time, most likely because they're encouraged by the producers to keep upping the energy. In fact I suspect that the producers for this show are much more interventionist than on the other two shows (with the ones for 'His Man' not far behind -- but those producers are nasty little instigators for whom I've lost a lot of respect.)
Also, I suspect that culturally the Koreans and Japanese are inclined to be more reserved. I certainly can't imagine any of the guys on those other shows being as festive as the ones here.
Martin is my favourite in this show so far ,but i like everyone else except for Zuher
My feelings exactly.
Zuher is full of himself and likes to make people squirm and "beg for it". If he's like that after just a couple of days with new people, imagine actually dating him.
It's annoying how the subtitles don't stick to just the dialog -- instead they insist on telling us what we're already seeing or hearing for ourselves.
In episode 9, a scene change shows that Myeongkyun and Minseon are in the pool together. The subtitle helpfully tells us: "Myeongkyun and Minseon change into swimsuits." (Gosh, it's a good thing you clarified that, otherwise I'd have thought they jumped in fully clothed!)
After we watch them goof off in the pool a while, the subtitle reassures us: "The two are having a happy time in the pool."
We watch Myeongkyun and Minseon make lunch, and after they finish eating they agree it was tasty. Subtitle: "Myeongkyn and Minseon enjoyed the lunch they made together."
Myeongkyun shows Minseon the notebook he brought and explains that it contains recipes. Subtitle: "Myeongkun brought his recipe book filled with dishes he'll make at Men's House."
It's relentless, with hundreds of examples per episode, as though the subtitler was paid based on word count.
Shun craves connection yet has a crippling fear of vulnerability. he associates love and attachment with pain.…
I really like this take. You've made me feel more charitable toward Shun. I can see how his behavior with Dai is a longform test of Dai's commitment. Unfortunately it includes Shun saying "let's be friends" when deep down he just wants the other guy to keep wanting more while not smothering him.
What a tightrope for Dai to walk! I mean, is there anything more confusing than having someone lay their head on your lap but then push your hand away when you just lightly touch them with it?
But I think if Dai is patient (perhaps superhumanly so) he could prevail in the end.
I had high hopes for this show, but unfortunately, it hasn't really lived up to my expectations. The pacing feels…
I wouldn't rank them quite the same except for putting Alan last. I'm sure he's a lot of fun at parties, though, and maybe pretty good in bed, but he doesn't strike me as "husband" material. I wonder if he's not looking for Mr. Right so much as Mr. Right Now.

Minseong … what is the attraction there?
