He certainly doesn't hold anything back, does he? Can't blame YuXiGu for being mind-boggled.

Everybody hates on Viki but it's thanks to them that we get series like this. I'm happy to reward them with my business.

I'm 10 episodes in and enjoying it the whole way. All these terrible reviews on here make me doubt my sanity, though. I like both male leads and at this point wouldn't mind if either one of them ends up with the girl (although I'm already certain which one eventually does.)

Great song soundtrack.

Your perspective is interesting. By Episode 10 I was pretty much done with Kang Doo's sulking and the way he treated Moon Soo. I also didn't like how she just kept coming back for more, like a character from a 1950's movie where the woman always stands by her man no matter what. I haven't gotten to the part where she just stands there after he kisses her, but given how cold he was to her for two or three episodes maybe she was just feeling a little bit skeptical.

I can't stand when a drama resorts to "I've decided I'm not good enough for you so I'm going to drive you away by treating you like shit." And it's no better when the other person just takes the abuse and keeps coming back for more, "in the name of love" of course. Everybody seems to worship the Kang Doo character but I think he's way too into his own melodrama to deserve Moon Soo, who (by the way) suffered in the same accident as he did, but in a different way. Get over yourself, buddy.

So there's a nice twin and an evil twin. The nice twin looks to be the conscience of that mob of misfits and clearly has sympathy for YXG. I'm curious to see if anything interesting comes of that. :)

... although as I've watched it a couple of times, in addition to feeling excited I felt some worry and sadness as well. There's a definite hint that the story might take a tragic turn.

Never knew about this video - thank you!

I agree that the notion that he's super attractive is played up too much in the first episode. When the script has so many characters referring to something like that, there should be little question on the part of the audience or it will backfire. Plus I don't think it's even necessary for him to be a gorgeous-looking guy for the story to work.

I think it's more than a third wheel situation - it's more like a romantic rivalry. The question for me is whether the rival is sincere or just trying to get on Pete's nerves.

I love Viki too.

When he dropped to his knees my heart went right to my throat and I had to catch my breath.

5-minute trailer? Please link me! :)

When I watch on Viki the episodes are 45 minutes each...

Haha - I had a feeling that Yu Xi Gu's new job would be at a gay club, and I figured that Xiang Hao Ting would somehow see him there. Looks like things really get rolling next week!

Two unforgettable scenes are when Golf realizes it's Bank's birthday (as well as the anniversary of Bank's father's death) and goes to find him, and when Golf completely loses it over Tom's interest in Bank, and Bank texts him, and Golf rushes to find him. Everything about these scenes - the setting, the acting, and the music - is perfect.

"Thank you for loving someone as awful as me." Oh how that line always moves me so much.

I love this comment. Really insightful!

The way they film people eating in this show is just gross.

I'm a gay guy too. I've tried to get some of my friends into BL but haven't had much luck. As for me, Asian drama is all I watch these days. No joke.

For BL I too started with Sotus. I then watched the three seasons of Hormones, followed by Love By Chance, Make It Right, and Lovesick 1 and 2. I believe that HIStory 2 and 3 are masterpieces of the genre, but I didn't like Theory of Love at all -- I basically hate-watched it to the end. The unbalanced and abusive nature of the main couple's relationship just upset me too much, and Kai's sudden redemption at the end felt unearned and unconvincing. (And it left me never wanting to watch anything else starring Off, so I guess that means he's a talented actor at least.)

Lovesick and Crossing the Boundary are my two favorite series so far. Lovesick feels groundbreaking and iconic both in terms of storyline and its music soundtrack. ("Shake" has turned up in so many other shows, from the Waterboyy movie to Reminders, that I've lost count.) As for that notorious party scene in the first episode, at first it confused the hell out of me and even made me drop the show for a few weeks, but after I finally finished Season 1 and went back to rewatch the first episode it was amazing to spot the clues in the party scene about what was to come over the course of the series.

As for HIStory 1, I wasn't nearly as disturbed by the relationship between Jin Teng and Li Chen in Obsessed as I was by the one between Kai and Third in Theory of Love. It puzzles me that more people weren't as upset by Theory of Love as I was. I'd be curious to read an analysis of that series that's as comprehensive and insightful as the ones provided by the wonderful KearaMH for the HIStory shows.

I was going to post this exact same question. Can't stand her. The other three roommates are so much more grounded and mature. I'm not sure why they'd want to drag around this useless piece of excess baggage.
