Hmm. Well, if a boy tells a friend that he has just fallen in love, hugs and cries with a boy as a way of thanking him for being in his life, accepts a ring from the boy, holds that boy's hand while standing together with their friends, and declares that that boy is his 'special someone', then I think your standard for what constitutes friendship is very different from mine. ;)

Those two are a couple at the end. I don't know what else anyone would need in order to see that. Yes, they use the term 'best friend' in the subtitles but what people do counts more than what they say, and what those two do only screams 'boyfriends'. And there's nobody else who Sea could have 'just' fallen in love with other than Tin.

In some ways 'Friends Forever' was a disaster, but with a series like this I rate on a curve and am more forgiving then I am with something from, say, GMMTV.

Even so, the finale was a little strange. During the scenes where Tan was trying to get Oil to come home with him, Tan's clothes changed three times and the continuity was bad in other ways too. For example, at one point Oil is leaving with Tan, then suddenly he's sitting and sharing a cold drink with Khun.

The 'director's cut' scene of Tan's confession and Tan and Oil kissing has been uploaded to YouTube and it is a must-see. Leo actually has a lot of potential as an actor. It doesn't hurt that he has a kind of 'bad boy' charisma too -- that especially comes through on his Instagram. When he did one of his live videos on Instagram I'm pretty sure he was stoned. :)

The It-Voice situation was bungled. In fact, I wish they'd spent less time with Tan chasing after Oil and given more time to It and Voice, because it was actually pretty funny that It suddenly showed up with the rest of the boys at the end, thanking Voice to helping him to change.

It's interesting that so many people think that Sea and Tin didn't end up as a couple. I'm not so sure about that. :) Yes, the English subs say 'best friend' but every other aspect of their interaction in the finale screamed 'boyfriend'. Sea tells Tan that the has fallen in love, then he and Tin hugged and cried, Tin gave Sea a ring, and they're holding hands in that final scene where the main cast is standing together.

What more do people want? I don't think a kiss would have been feasible since Bank (Sea) is only 17.

I've made a separate post to micro-analyze the finale and make my case that at the end Sea and Tin are a couple.

This page is why it can be a lot of fun to watch a series as it airs, as frustrating as it can be to wait every week for new episodes. The comment section is overflowing with enthusiasm and gives the feeling that you're watching the series with several hundred of your friends, even if you don't comment a lot yourself.

Does anyone have a link to the song in the third segment of Episode 3? Or know the title?

Thanks!

I agree. You know, part of me wonders if the delay in seeing the last episode was so that the production company could re-edit it and address concerns that were being voiced here and on YouTube, worrying that there wouldn't be closure for the Tin/Sea or It/Voice couples. Both of their endings were rushed, and like you say, It's transformation was inexplicable. Not only did he mellow out, but he *asked* for a hug from another boy.

If the actor wasn't underage then It might have asked Voice for a kiss instead of a hug - which would have been stranger still! haha

That said, the original version of the last episode might not have even included that much.

I think Voice also kissed It on the belly. I wonder if that was improvised because I can't imagine the director telling him to do that.

I'm going to guess that Soojin and Seojun are endgame. She seems like the only woman who could truly tame him haha.

Yeah her mother is trash.

You say it better than I could, but I feel the same. I didn't expect a lot from this series but it's turned out to be a highlight of my week. It delivers on every level.

Enough of Wayu and Pha ... please! It's gotten to where these interruptions just disrupt the series. When it comes to Pha, NOBODY CARES. I get the joke of not showing his face, but it's been done to death now -- time to move on.

This is a really, really charming series, provided they ditch the Pha-Wayu angst.

Exactly. All he could see was that she was wearing glasses. Her mystique is intact, but now Seojun will start getting close to her just to annoy Suho, and then start to fall for her for real. A favorite trope of mine if there ever was one.

Well, at least it's not six days .. which will be our fate tomorrow :(

Moon Ga Young is simply a phenomenal actress.

In one single episode, to do such broad comedy (and nail it) and then come through in that scene ... amazing.

I'm a guy and I've been wondering too lmao

Every new episode is better than the ones before it.

I'm euphoric!

Just from sampling the first episode I can tell that the FL is insufferable, so I dropped immediately.

The only positive impression I got was that this is a Cdrama that wasn't dubbed. Hallelujah!

You are missing:

- Gen Y
- Friends Forever
- Manner of Death
- SaifahZon Story
- Hormones (at least Season 1, but depending on your standard for inclusion possibly Seasons 2 and 3 as well)
- Great Men Academy (might qualify as pseudo-BL, though)
- The Stranded

Nice list!

Gawd, the dubbing is so poorly done. When it comes to the words matching the movement of the lips it's like the voice actors simply read the script without looking at the screen.

You might have already noticed, but in case you didn't .. the series has been edited together as a movie and now has a conclusion.
