My term exactly! It is flawless, and that is not an exaggeration.

After countless rewatches (since this is one of my favorite BLs of all time), I finally understand the 'Jiu Jitsu' reference in the last scene.

In 'Where Your Eyes Linger' (which takes place in the same universe), Tae Joo and Gook work through their suppressed desires by sparring with Jiu Jitsu.

Cute!

This is the Kdrama BL that makes up for all the shy kisses of the earlier ones haha.

You have to love a story about two lonely people who find hope and happiness in one another.

Welcome to the fan club!

Those twins crack me up. The delivery guy is an awesome addition to the cast. Maybe they're in the process of setting up Season Two.

You say everything so well. I was thinking about how wholesome this episode was. We even got to see Chon apologize to Prab in the most sincere way possible. It's like he learned an important lesson when his brother apologized to him about that earlier misunderstanding.

When you say that Prab has so much love and is almost desperate to give it ... so true! So far he has proven to be something of an angelic character. I can't think of any flaws. His approach to Chon is unfailingly supportive and caring, even when Chon treats him badly. (And he is quick to forgive.) Ordinarily such a 'perfect' character would elicit a few eye rolls, but Folk is so damn cute that the idea of perfection fits him perfectly, so to speak. ^_^

That bit about the AC breaking again, and the brothers looking at each other with a grin as they recognized the opportunity .. that was hilarious.

If Chon is age 17, though, I don't think they'll kiss, at least not within sight of the camera. Yet we did get the classic 'Asian drama eye lock' that clearly predicts their couplehood. So who knows.

I have to comment on that swim team lol. They can't dive properly and their swimming form is terrible.

For me this is always the problem when a "Season Two" follows an outstanding Season One. It's so rare that a sequel is up to the standard of the original.

For this series, the behavior exhibited by the characters here retroactively denigrates what they had in Season One.

Agreed! I just think of all the dreck that has been released lately -- those quickie series that are just cashing in on BL -- and I'm grateful for what this series brings.

Junior ('Padbok') appears in 'Bad Roommate' ... a mini-BL where he's paired with Bon ('Phai').

More importantly, we hit the 'Shirtless Tae' jackpot today.

Is Mr. One-Night-Stand actually Nite in human guise?

I'm confused too, obviously .... lol

Just joking ^_^

I'm sorry I made you feel that you had to apologize. You just chose a really bad example lol.

Toward the end I watched for the unintended comedy, like when Heart said that the video where she stuffed her face non-stop, ugly-crying with her mouth hanging open as it overflowed with half-chewed food, got a positive response that made her popularity soar.

You're saying that everybody is hating on the series and then attacking that, whereas there isn't that much hate here, just disappointment based on the previous standard set by the HIStory franchise.

You're falsely characterizing everyone's opinions so that you can stomp on them.

I thought 'Win Jaime's Heart' was one of the worst BL series ever. Jaime was creepy from start to finish, and I honestly think the intent there was to get viewers mainly by upping the sexual content while claiming it was all meant to be thought-provoking.

I'd cite that series as an example of a double standard only because it got so much admiration and so many apologists while better series got criticized for much less.

I think any concerns about the writer's previous work went out the window when I saw how rom-com silly this series is going to be. I don't think a character death is in the cards here.

So, I disagree that we're biased because of MODC. This one will be judged good or bad on its own merits (or lack thereof).

It is funny, though, how standards differ between one series and another. In the past year so many awful series have won an audience. This one at least shows that some care was given to the production and direction. It's no 'Trapped' or 'Crossing the Boundary', but those are celebrated fora reason.

How does that Voltaire saying go? 'Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good'.

I won't be on the edge of my seat waiting for each new episode but I'll enjoy watching it.

Replying to my own post lol .... it's possible that the stalker scene was a consensual role-play between the two guys.

Ok. I'll delete mine. :)

So it was a role-play fantasy between the two guys? That would be a relief!
