Angry Jin is hawt. That neck grab.... ❤️ Jin is right to be upset (yes he is, eat dust if you don’t agree).…
"He's confused as he was blackout drunk and woke up next to Johnny naked tho I don’t think went further than the hickeys."
Don't forget that when Akin was looking at his phone and saw the 136 missed calls from Jin, scenes from the bedroom kept flashing in his head...... including him waking up naked next to Johnny, the hickey, etc.
But the worst was him remembering the open condom wrapper. :(
Just a pet peeve of mine, but I CAN'T STAND how much alcohol consumption there is in these dramas. GEEZUS, can't ANYONE solve problems and deal with emotional issues without drinking ALL THE DAMNED TIME????
To me it's hypocritical as hell when the characters talk about "being healthy" and "making sure they eat and rest well" and it shows them exercising......and yet every few scenes they're getting drunk at a dinner, at a meeting, in their own apartments......
And in this show it's the same. Just a few examples from the series:
The ML having such an alcohol problem that he ends up in the hospital......the FL getting drunk in the seating area of a convenience store.........
Unfortunately, I can't help but feel this series is not a great representation of Parker Mao's acting skills. He's done much better series than this, and I hope more projects like those come his way. I like him a lot as an actor.
But......am I the only one who didn't like the choppiness and directing in Ep 6?
Everything felt rushed and things happened so abruptly, it took away from the scene at the end. I just didn't feel the emotional impact the way I did in the roof scene from the previous Ep.
I posted this in the comments on the page for the original series, and I'm posting the links here on this page for those who didn't see the other one.

Here are the episodes in order (a couple of the main screens are mislabeled with the wrong episode number. Even so, the links are correct, and are in order. I double checked.): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL (EXTRA) SERIES (same couple, and a continuation of the original story - there will be 13 episodes of THIS series, and so far, they seem to be about 6 1/2 minutes per episode. But future episodes in this series may be different lengths. Not sure.)

The director is uploading NEW, related episodes as part of a "special series." Not the same as the original one, but a continuation of the same couple with a different series name. They're more like "special episodes" and I think there will be 13 of them.

I'm still enjoying this series very much. It feels SO different from other BLs. I get the feeling something dark is coming, though. I hate that I have to wait so long for the next Ep.
In addition to “The Best Thing”, there’s also “Fake It Till You Make It” (2023), “Begin Again” (2024),…
I like Esther Yu a lot, so it kills me that I cannot deal with listening to her voice. I'm sure I've missed out on some great series because of that. :(

WTH?????
It's SUCH a huge freaking turn off.

Not the best series and the plot is silly, but I'm enjoying it so far.
I love the chemistry between the two MLs. The kiss halfway through the episode was *very* nice.
I'd rather see more screen time for them and less of the weird "missions."

Look at the very bottom of the video as it's playing. You'll have to expand the screen to its largest size in order to see them well enough.

I know some of the non-BL series coming out this year have actors that are usually BL (but aren't in those series).
I'm still enjoying this series very much. It feels SO different from other BLs. I get the feeling something dark is coming, though. I hate that I have to wait so long for the next Ep.
I'm enjoying this series, so far. The cast is great, and the story (currently being told in flashback) is developing well.
