They won’t. I’m pretty sure the “love at first spike” is with the female lead since she’s listed second on this page.

If this is indeed a bromance then giving it a title that implies “love” is just a shitty tactic. I for one will review bomb it to hell.

Plus when Yo woke up in that scene there were suddenly lit candles in the room. Definitely a dream. :)

Ohh, I like this!

Totally disagree.

Never would have expected March back in a BL!

Hugs really are the missing element in so many series! And here they hug with the whole body, the way real people in love really do. They don't just press their chests together while holding their crotches apart.

Ironically, there's a whole subset of BL fans who don't like seeing two men have sex. For them, BL is about crushing on cute guys and getting the tummies when they snuggle.

I think this is one reason a series like "Boys In Love", populated by adolescents who lack a sex drive, can get such a high rating. It's set in an alternate universe where teen boys don't get horny.

Plus, he went to work with his hair down (finally). 😂

His ragged appearance was sprung on us almost as a sight gag. It certainly got a chuckle out of me!

This episode was so cathartic, with Oat proving himself to be one of the best actors in all of Thai drama, let alone BL.

What thrill to see Jun finally give Sorn what he deserves, and even better is that the writers didn't contain the hurt and rage to just this one episode. Any other series would have had the two of them reconcile before the final credits.

Mon's mom is the absolute worst.

I'm giddy. A series hasn't given me a rush like this in a long time.

And to think that only a week ago I didn't know it existed!

Hallelujah!

I watched both episodes twice and I don't remember a flashback scene. Or is there a third episode out there somewhere? 🤔

I'm glad they didn't know each other before!

Well said!

There's a lot of backstory missing. Like, we don't know why Ji Won retired from professional gymnastics. Since it's mentioned so much I suspect there's going to be something to that.

I sure hope they didn't know each other in the past. It's such a tired trope. Plus, they already set it up that Jeong's buddy went to elementary school with Ji Won. They should stop there lol.

On the other hand, Asian dramas seem to love that "long-forgotten childhood connection" stuff, so you might have picked up on something.

I'm blown away. Never heard of this series, and discovered it only because it showed up on iQIYI when I was browsing the site.

The two leads are perfectly cast. I'm especially impressed by Yeom Min Hyeok. He captures Ji Won's shyness so well. (The remaining question is whether he's got a gymnast's body. I'm inclined to think not, since they've got him constantly wearing baggy sweatshirts.) 😉

And I do wonder how someone as shy as Ji Won could have been so successful an international-level gymnast. Not impossible, just hard to imagine.

All the pieces are in place for a terrific "opposites attract" story.

The lack of chemistry is a big problem. I like Poom too, and I'll stay with this because of him, but for anyone saying "the chemistry is chemistrying" (one of the cringiest phrases in the English language) I wonder if they're watching the same series. To me there's a big-brother/little-brother dynamic at best.

It's strange that the series went to the trouble of building up Jom as a paradigm of honor then had him pull that stunt on Yo. Was that really all they could come up with to show that Jom wanted Yo to stay? So amateurish and lazy.

I like the series overall and love seeing Saint again but the chemistry between him and Poom isn't the best.

Poom without a shirt, though? ... "more, please!"

For once the little sound effects actually add to the scenes, especially when Sorn and Jun are bantering.

And while Boat seems to get all the attention I think Oat is fantastic. I can't imagine anyone else playing Jun. The way he pulls off that "banana" scene is comedy gold.
