I think Earn might have been lurking outside the gym and did hear the confessions.

Perfect weekend entertainment. Some really funny stuff! Nice to see the GMMTV veterans mixing it up with the new crop.

I hated TMS2 as much as anyone, and wrote a review to prove it, so this director gets no free pass from me ....

However, my main beef with TMS2 is how she totally rewrote a beloved main character and made him into a monster. Here she is starting with a clean slate, and since there are countless dramas out there with heavy angst and situations that strain credulity I'm not going to get worked up over this one. I think we're going to get a happy ending no matter what.

(What would be typical for her, though, would be to bring us a Season 2 of this series and make Sin Ju into a monster.)

Wow. Now I don't have to bother to watch. Please use the Spoiler tag before giving away the whole plot.

That was quite a kiss but the boys awkwardly kept the rest of their bodies apart. That's not how real people kiss.

We never got the sight of Pond kissing Nike in "180 Degree Longitude" ... now, THAT kiss would have been one for the BL highlight reel.

Whenever Maxky (Johan) is on screen I think of the wacky character he played in "Why You ... Y Me" and the transformation amazes me every time.

I just love Bas's character in this series -- so much spark. I've never liked the low-energy characters he played before, and I wrongly wrote off those duds as him lacking talent. Now it's clear to me he was underutilized in those roles.

You're saying it better than I could. It's like a comedy of the absurd, these drop-dead handsome MEN (including Junior in Ep 4) fussing over this limp-noodle whining KID who'd get dramatic over a ham sandwich.

Sammy is long overdue for her own romance. She had a taste of one in "Between Us" but sadly that hasn't resulted in a new direction for her career. And even there she was the same madcap girl as always.

The way that nothing happened in this episode other than setting up a stereotypical love triangle, it just shows how this series is such weak sauce.

The director will put us through the wringer but her signature flourish is always a happy ending.

Omg how did this ever get past the censors.

Remember when the BL trailers would always cut away just before a kiss? 😅😅😅

If it follows the original then everyone gets a HEA.

I'm starting to lose count of all the side couples they're setting up. 😄

You got outraged over nothing. The series was a snoozefest.

I don't give a rat's ass what happens next in this story. I think the team behind this production was counting on the pedigree of its source material to win an audience. They were wrong.

What kind of dingbat remarries then hangs a huge portrait of his dead first wife on the wall of the living room?

I also planned to hate it but it's amazing.

The use of music is exceptionally good. I like that they gave Phun and Noh their own "love theme", and that the love theme has a touch of Old Hollywood schmaltz. The way it builds during that almost-kiss ... my god, my heart really was pounding, even knowing that a complete kiss was impossible.

I can't wait to see how they build the Ohm-Mick storyline. All of the cast is excellent, but aside from the leads I think Ohm is my favorite.

Wow, you caught some nuanced differences. I remember Easter unfollowing the IG but the scene was otherwise so much the same that it didn't register as new footage. And I ff'ed the NC scene at the beginning of the uncut version, mainly because I didn't want to reexperience Easter's screams as he woke up.

I guess I was too focused on finding whole new scenes.

I watched both the YouTube version and the "uncut" version of Ep01 and there was absolutely no difference.
