The same way, I guess, that people must be blind if they didn’t see Ji Woo overtly chasing Yu Na and favoring her over Ro A. There was no subtext needed — he was dedicated to her to the point of ignoring Ro A’s texts, and even begged Ro A not to report the assault after Ro A fought off Ji Woo’s attacker and broke his arm. Why?Because Yu Na might feel bad about it. (Telling the doctor that Ro A got injured because he was falling-down drunk was also a nice touch.)

Ji Woo also gulped down that huge alcoholic drink on Yu Na’s behalf, and at that point all he had done was stare at *her* without even being introduced.

If this series hadn’t been touted as a BL then I wonder if you would have discounted all these overt behaviors so readily, instead looking hard for any sign of m/m plot development that one could argue was not really there.

I think you nailed it. Ji Woo didn’t like being paired with another guy. He also chased Yu Na. For three episodes.

I must be. I don’t see it.

Oh please. Feel free to disagree but personal attacks are unnecessary.

The series in the “Recommendations” section on this page is called Dating Class and based on the description by the person who posted it, it sounds like it could be the original version of Love Class, with Love Class now highlighting the m/m couple a little more. That other series also has a class about dating, a BL side story, and apparently a girl who gets harassed by men.

It’s too bad the listing for Love Class doesn’t say who the screenwriter is because it would be interesting if it turned out to be the same person for both.

It would also explain the weak BL factor in Love Class.

Yes, we saw them be bros and even go on a date with the girls. So far this is not a BL, but it looks like we’ll get some breadcrumbs in the last episode.

Because they lied and I hate liars.

There is another series that is really short where the two leads confess to each other only in the final seconds of the last episode — “HIS - I didn’t think I’d fall in love”. The difference there is that the entire series is about the two boys coming to terms with their feelings. They interact with girls who are romantically interested in them, but it’s clear throughout that their minds are only on each other. There are moments of approach, withdrawal and confusion, and moments where only we, the audience, get to be alone with each boy and witness how he has been truly affected by the other.

We get none of that here. There hasn’t been one iota of proof that Ji Woo has been attracted to Ro A at any point. (Okay, yes, he reacted to seeing Ro A shirtless, but that could just as easily have been a moment of embarrassment.)

The romantic outcome will not have been earned. People here who are sentimentally inclined will still be moved by it, but if you are like me and prefer that a series tell a believable story before playing the confession card then you will probably just roll your eyes and say “On to the next.”

Well, so far five out of six episodes of m/f flirting and confessing. I dislike this series more and more.

Looks like they might throw us some BL breadcrumbs in the finale. but there has been ZERO development of the relationship between the main leads so why should we believe anything could really happen?

Such a waste. I bet the two girls use up 2/3 of the time in the finale before that scene on the beach.

2/10. Biggest disappointment of 2022.

Still feels more like a bromance than BL. Ji Woo shows no signs of romantic interest in Ro A. I don't know how believable it's going to be if he suddenly develops feelings.

I think Nam Jun the aggressive lovestruck roommate is a diversion. The real stalker is probably someone like the professor.

It's funny how we all perceive things our own way, and often quite differently.

For me Ji Woo is no prize. The scene in the doctor's office showed what a selfish jerk he is. Not only for telling the doctor that Ro A got hurt because he fell while drunk, but for begging Ro A (begging him!) not to report Ro A's own assault to the police. Why? Because poor little Yu Na might blame herself. Now, there's a guy who has his priorities straight.

In tomorrow's episode I'm interested to see if he throws Ro A to the wolves in reaction to the rumors about them. Vegas odds say yes.

Maybe GagaOoLala didn't screen the series before they licensed it.

Two out of six episodes so far, and zero chemistry between the two guys. The two of them are hardly ever in the same scene together and one of them is girl crazy.

Also, I hate people who ignore texts, especially when they're sent with a feeling of concern. Ji Woo is no prize.

Dear GagaOoLala, if I want to watch girls flirt with guys and vice versa there's about 1,000 other streaming services I can watch (and often do).

If this is an attempt at some kind of hybrid "crossover" content, please stop. Your platform is no place for a hetero series that throws in a BL side couple. This was a boring, shitty episode and it doesn't bode well for the rest of them.

Not only did you waste precious time on one of the male leads chasing a girl, you included another m/f pair made up of a ditzy student who won't take "no" for an answer as she keeps stalking her male professor. NOT INTERESTED!

And amongst all the clutter I guess the meager BL plotline we're going to get is the alleged straight guy who falls in love with another guy because the other guy came to his rescue. Where's my barf bag.

I love the series overall but that finale was meh.

Joong isn't getting the credit he deserves, mainly because the character he plays is reserved and repressed. Cha Eun-woo got the same criticism for "My ID is Gangnam Beauty" and Wang Junkai is getting it right now for "Be Reborn".

In this episode Nuea lost a lot of his charm, and I'm disappointed that Phoon's character turned out to be such a jerk.

From the way Kluen took that call from Gia, how the hell can Nuea think it had anything to do with romance?

Nuea's a brat. I hope he's the one to apologize first in the next episode and not Kluen, because if it ends up being Kluen then this series will have officially lost its way. I'm caring less and less about their relationship and I'm starting to roll my eyes whenever Nuea starts to cry for the 327th time.

At this point I'm ready for Part 1 to be over so we can get to Part 2.

Yeah, weak sauce.

I wish someone would do a psychological study that tells what your choice of favorite couple reveals about your personality and what it says about what you look for in love. Because I think there could be some interesting distinctions there.

But are Saint and Mon friends again by the end?

Maybe his entire history of bad luck was simply fate steering him to Shinomiya. Which, like you say, makes him quite lucky in some respects.
