Just a few words from Sae Ro Yi and Geun Soo is cut back down to boysize. Sae Ro Yi is the true father figure in his life. I hope we'll get to see Geun Soo beg for Hyun Yi and Sae Ro Yi's forgiveness somewhere down the road. (And when he does, I hope Sae Ro Yi won't say something soft like "You did what you had to do", which he always does with Soo Ah.)

One low point for me was when someone commented saying that the series had made them cry a lot, the reply was along the lines of "I cried too -- over how bad it was!" Hardy har har.

Negative comments like this are from attention-seekers who for some reason feel a need to keep coming back here to bash the series, even after you'd think they would have moved on after such a traumatic experience as watching something so "boring", "poorly directed", and "badly acted".

We get it. They didn't like it. Now I wish they'd just own it and move on. When people keep coming back to argue about something they dislike so much, it makes me think their negative reaction says more about them.

What's most annoying for me is that now that I know who they are, I've started to notice them doing the same thing in other comment sections.

I think that the final shot during the opening credits will be the final shot of the series: hyung and his new love in a big kiss on a rock by the ocean.

Maybe I'm too optimistic after MDOC but I expect a happy ending for all three couples.

It sounds like somebody is recording the sound while it's being broadcast into the room where they're watching on TV.

It's good you're here to keep the fires burning.

The hyung has spent his whole life getting his way. I enjoy watching him strut and preen like a peacock because I know it's only a matter of time before he's knocked on his ass by love. :)

I think it's all bravado. He says stuff like that to reassure himself and keep his own feelings at a distance. Eventually he's going to realize that his family "training" to never fall in love was all in vain. ;)

YouTube ... and it's the official channel:

Right. At the beginning of the first episode it says it's set in March 2006.

Yes, very.

Maybe he had his nose done? It was the first thing I thought when he first appeared in the series. His nose is "too perfect" (if that makes sense) and, as handsome as he is, it doesn't look like it quite belongs with the rest of his features.

I actually visited this page with that thought in mind. Imagine my surprise to find that the only comment here is on the same topic! Glad I'm not an oddball for thinking that.

Nothing overtly gay in this movie but you have to wonder about swimming stud Nan presenting himself as an expert on women and giving Zhe all sorts of advice about getting a gf, while he himself never dates anyone.

Yup. I just didn’t want to editorialize. ;)

I think you nailed it: people want to ship the co-stars together and get upset when they can't. It results in the weeks between episodes having less of a fan frenzy than with, say, Why R U.

Based on interviews it seems clear to me that both Bright and Win are straight, and they way they interact as "bros" off-screen only goes to confirm it. I think it would be dumb for them to pretend otherwise.

I hope it will go up, otherwise my faith in MDL will be severely damaged.

I love your review.

Thank you for mentioning the music score. With each new project I think Boy Sompob's songs get better and better, and the ones he wrote for this production are my favorites from him so far. His vocals have a yearning quality that is so expressive.

I really liked how the music underscoring the opening credits varied from week to week. There was one rendition by a female vocalist (was it Sammy?) that was especially tender and beautiful, and I've been hoping it will be released as a single.

The version of "Luckiest Boy" sung by the cast members is also incredibly sweet. The MV is really cute too.

I'm much the same, that's why I empathized and tried to answer the best I could. :)

I read somewhere that the more children that a mother has, the more likely that a newly born son will turn out gay. The mother here is the common factor among the Yuan boys, so ....

And the brothers kept those fingercuffs on him for such a long time!

No rivals or triangles. So far, the conflict is between the guys overcoming issues in their relationships.
