Yeah, it's surreal. It's like they suddenly dropped in an episode from a different series.

I actually think it would be better if you didn't see Season One, since this season turns one of the characters into a different person for the sake of angst. For me this long slog ruined Season One, which until then I'd returned to regularly. I haven't gone near it since.

I envy you being able to see this without experiencing the ways it commits murder on Season One.

Instantly forgettable trailer that did little to get me interested. And I'm not feeling the main couple. Tin's "secret love" for Park seems pretty obvious even in the brief clips they show us, but of course the dreaded female rival lurks at the sidelines -- another tired plot device.

I'll watch because of Lee Long Shi and hope his storyline has more pizazz.

The best fiction will depict a transformation of the main characters over the course of the story, and that is happening for both of the guys. Plus, for a love relationship to work you need two people who want to encourage each other and offer support when needed. Also happening for both guys.

In it's own subversive way this series is modeling how a good couple should communicate and work together.

Wow. After this ordeal time to rewatch "I Will Knock You".

I found myself looking away from the screen when Win and Team started to kiss, and your comment tells me why -- it's that father-son dynamic.

Their relationship is remarkably joyless. What could Win possibly get from it aside from the chance to be a parent to a waif? That's not a good foundation to build upon.

This is definitely four "special episodes" stretched to 12 for a full series. I can't stand Cutie Pie but I give them credit for limiting their Season 2 to four.

Nuer and Syn ... I think they got 3 minutes of air time in Episode 2?

I skipped everything else so I was done in a jiffy. 😂😂😂

The flow is just perfect. I thought I'd become jaded from too many romance stories but this gives me so many butterflies I feel like I might float away.

My guess is that eventually Ben will face another decision point where Neung's fate hangs in the balance. Since this is a happy story, he'll make the right decision, but if it's life or death then it will make no sense because just to avoid his father's anger he was okay with throwing Neung under the bus. If a life is at stake I would expect him to be equally self-serving.

Scenes like the one in the principal's office REVEAL TRUE CHARACTER. We now know who Ben is, and it's fascinating to see so many apologists commenting here.

As for his Judas moment, he could have said that nobody initiated the kiss and that they both went in for it together, or that the question of who initiated is irrelevant. Personally, as a gay person who was bullied when I was in high school, I don't yield even an inch of ground to Ben or forgive him in the least. His decision pushed Neung into an even deeper circle of hell in that school.

In this episode Ben revealed his truest self, and I think Chimon was directed to act the part with a hint of sleaze just so moments like the one in the principal's office have more impact.

We haven't seen the last of Ben. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.

Yeah, that plot conceit has bothered me from the beginning. A rich kid like Neung would be the king of the school, and he'd be able to put that principal in her place without fear of retribution.

Agreed. And that look on his face when Ben said he'd go after the perpetrator confirms it as well.

Oh, that's good! I like it.

I think the side couples are important because they provide a break from the endless angst of Win-Team, which frankly is a bit exhausting.

I think you both have the context all wrong. Prince was wary of springing the word "gay" on Bee right away and wanted to test the waters first.

No other aspect of the character suggests there's any self-loathing involved. He's simply aware of the straight culture he grew up in.

As a gay guy who grew up surrounded by malignant Christians I can relate entirely.

I think Prince was just being cautious in breaking the news to Bee.

Kinda like, "I'm glad you like me, but I should let you know that I have this 'little proclivity' that you should be aware of ... "

If you're gay and you're about to reveal it that to someone you're unsure about, the word "gay" itself might seem too strong to use right away. And, given Prince's generally reticent personality, I think he'd be the kind of person to feel that way, and resort to such a euphemism.

Not for a second did I feel there was any homophobia involved.

This review is a masterpiece!

I take a more cynical view. They thought it would be cute to end the series with that final shot of Name almost telling us what his real name is.

Or producing a show that he also acts in. This was a vanity production for him, which might be why his role in particular was so sentimental and fake.

... and why were Em, Champ, and Name essentially celibate through their adolescence and young adulthood?

Boys that age think about sex about 100 times a day. Those guys didn't even talk about girls (or boys), let alone date.

In a work of fiction you want to feel that the characters have some kind of life outside of the scenes they appear in. In this regard as well as in lots of others, "Remember Me" couldn't make the characters real.

When the guy sitting in front of Champ started to take off his mask I was hoping we'd see that he was played by the actor who was Cir in TT2.
