I've been watching only the scenes with Nuea and Jean and even that pair is proving to be a disappointment. They're certainly more compelling than the main leads, but the same would be true of watching paint dry.
I swear, when Jean was cheering up Nuea their dialog had to have been improvised, or they forgot their lines and the director just kept filming anyway.
Surely i am not the only one thinking somethings is totally not right ......and what would be ....did rain know…
The scene with the family piling into the car had an air of foreboding to it. The bg music seemed to support that, as did the sudden appearance of the woman who had no luggage, just something mysterious in her handbag.
Kim's exchange with his dad right before they left was also surprisingly cordial -- for me another warning sign.
I feel bad for Shun. Let's remember that Rain gave Shun false hope a couple of episodes ago by flirting with him…
Rain was a bad boy in that scene!
I rewatched yesterday and also noticed him flirting with Shun. He also played dirty after the girl who's crushing on Payu pouted over him not attending her performance (concert?). Rain overheard and made a point of walking over to thank Payu for coming to watch his game, at which point she turned tail and left the room.
You would think I would dislike this series, but I don't. There are a few things going for it, other than the…
I gawk at the villain boy every time he's on camera. I hope they don't make him so bad that he cheats in the election.
I'd like to think that the slightly dim-witted member of his posse could be a wild card and become part of a third BL couple, but he's probably there just for comic relief.
With Episodes 3 and 4, the series starts to show how it was constructed using familiar parts of many other BLs. I try not to get too hung up on tropes because I like to think of them as Easter Eggs that playfully send a signal to viewers, confirming that we're all part of a niche community that appreciates a special genre.
But, nonetheless! Once the wound-dressing scene started I could have practically scripted it myself, so my attention wandered and I got impatient for them to just get past it.
I think Qi Zhang needs to cool his jets a bit. He's coming on really strong. Maybe Ye Guang is okay with that and by now even expects people to react to him that way, but I would have liked it if Qi Zhang had distinguished himself from all the fangirls by not being so besotted in his presence. I was dumbfounded when he gave Ye Guang the expensive earbuds that he said he'd saved up to buy. (And equally dumbfounded that rich kid Ye Guang accepted them.)
In his own way, Qi Zhang has just as much going for him as Ye Guang does. Now and then it would be nice to see a little bit of Ye Guang being besotted.
Is the second couple truly two other leading roles, or are they supporting players? We're halfway through the series and they've gotten barely any air time.
The band needs to learn a new song... STAT.
And I know I sound like I hate this thing, but I really don't. I just expected a little more given the pedigree and the adorable cast.
Speaking of the cast, just how tall is actor Li Zhen Hao (Ye Guang)? In a couple of scenes he towers like a giant! It was a cute detail that the borrowed pants from Qi Zhang were indeed way too short, exposing his ankles.
Welp, Rain and Phayu finally closed the deal in Episode 10. 🎉✨💞💦
When I saw Phayu in the shower and Rain walked up behind him, I was sure it was another dream sequence, but no! But for them to literally have "sex on the beach" was a bit reckless. The two spurned pursuers each got an eyeful!
I'm troubled by the departure scene with Rain and his family, and the "friend" who has no luggage, especially given Kim's nightmare from earlier in the episode. Is there a bomb in her bag? Will they kill off that entire family except for Kim? That would make "MODC" look like a kiddie cartoon in comparison.
I'm pretty sure "Mr. Heart" is also set in the same universe as "Where Your Eyes Linger" ....
As for "Best Mistake", I liked the first season a lot! For me things went progressively downhill with Seasons Two and Three. In Season Three they have Yeon Doo behaving in ways that I think are way out of character. For me it's also an eye roll that for each season they will take the chief villain(s) from the previous one and turn them into supportive friends who just hang out as members of the gang. In real life these people would be shunned. (I'm looking at you, Ahra and Yuna...) Gotta love Kdrama and its insistence on a redemption for even the most despicable characters. 😄😄😄
I'm starting to worry about the cast - I think the producers may have abducted their families and threatened to…
For me it's a "glass half empty/half full" situation. Watching today almost felt like an obligation, and when the episode started I didn't think their new film project was anything more than an annoying attempt at killing time. But, to the contrary, things started to happen and I was glad to see that the story was moving forward.
I think Perth's character is too pivotal to be a last-minute addition, but Tay's .... well, since he's credited on here only for Episode 8 I think you might have a point. To be fair, though, the series has featured cameos beginning with the very first episode.
I'm grateful that they let the big kiss ride out the ending of the episode without a dramatic interruption like the lights coming back on to reveal Mek watching from across the room. (Then again, where is Mek during that scene? I suppose they might be waiting for the start of Episode 10 to throw that wrench into the works.)
So glad I stuck with this. That episode was very moving.
I think the series does a nice job of capturing how boys that age interact. The water fight was hilarious, the way it kept escalating until it was an all-out war.
I like Sand ... so far. I hope his story about his family's situation isn't a ploy.
I'm opposite from most here in that I find Takara to be the more interesting character. I hope we'll get his backstory and learn why he is always suppressing his emotions. He is clearly *feeling* things, he just makes a big effort to keep those feelings hidden, and I think it is causing him a lot of loneliness and stress.
His lack of affect makes the moments all the more compelling when emotion finally breaks through. After the first episode there was debate over whether the final scene, where Takara is in tears over the possibility of losing Amagi, was a flash-forward or if it was set in the same timeframe as the episode itself. Takara's outburst was so out of character compared to the person we'd seen up until then that many people here thought it couldn't be the same Takara we'd met in Episode One.
Well, it was. And to me it was evidence that he's just dying to love someone and to be loved. He was in tears, for chrissake. The series has a long way to go, so I'm sure the two boys will be tested in many ways. If, by the final episode, Takara has transformed into a more typical teenager then I will feel it has been worth the journey.

The big revelation at the end of Episode 14 is all conveyed in on-screen text, and there are no subtitles for it!!!!!
Is anyone able to give us the gist? Thank you!

For me Da Ra is an excruciating character. A series built around her would be torture.
Yup. Sure seems to be going a certain way ... 😁
