it's actually intense,like they carry so much love, regret and hope with each gaze you can actually feel their older versions of themselves

The writters of this show really sat down and said how do we get thousands of people to lose their shit every week,top tier fucking writing right there. I'm on TikTok watching people go neck and neck each week,week one for Team MDL and week two for Team SDL now the people are blaming the writers for ruining their favorites it's so awesome.choas baby

Anyway I'm team watch it burn these two need to leave the country for each other and fucking heal and meet new people damn.

Honestly A lot of Dramas feel this way but like a concert or an event it's mostly a you had to be there moment,they had nothing but a dream going for them,we hadn't had a proper Chinese BL in what seemed like forever and the ones we did have either got cancelled, covered with the bromance tag or damned into nonexistence. From the first episode with fat suit you knew exactly what this was but everyone took a risk including the actors and we saw the BTS give us so much reality it felt like we were struggling with them all that jumbled together gave this more intensity also we watched them get dragged and bullied and we didn't know the outcome which honestly fueled the love even more, it's not for everyone definitely but the work,heart and effort put into it made it one of the best summer BL and at the time it felt like an affair which was exciting, thrilling and fun and honestly the fans are a big reason it feels "overrated",it's not the best but was a good feeling to have.

after 1 episode?

I honestly thought the same thing, the characters have such different auras it's insane took looking through his past work to notice,had to rewatch cause I was like no way.

The scene in episode 4 just made me realize like a lot of things we never truly understand it and the impact on people that actually get to experience it IRL,yes times have changed but somewhere in the world is a teenage boy or girl struggling to comprehend their sexuality while being made to feel like an abomination or worse a pervert. I imagine their freedom is limited and every action no matter how harmless is seen as a guise to be weird especially in public spaces and they're either confident and strong enough to handle it or they stay closed off,as much as I want sui to have better friends in reality most people you to just adjust too so you can survive otherwise it gets lonely and more depressing also the awkwardness just elevates their youth for me.

You actually rock for this,thanks

Honestly sometimes we just get what we get and that's okay,I'm the type of person who likes satisfying revenge plot The glory and marry my husband hit that sweet spot for me so I'm okay with the japanese version spreading it's wings and it would have been on the same level even more loved if it had just let things play out ,I also got a sense they tried doing a 360 for people who watched and already knew what was to come to surprise them ina way but even for new audience who never saw the Korean version they robbed them of that satisfaction too.

I honestly wished I started commenting to your post when I started,this types of conversation really make me feel less lonely and gives more thrill to whatever show I'm watching.Thank you

its not rambling I genuinely understand the frustration,they did well no doubt and I just finished it but I'm a bit underwhelmed they tried making it their own but took the Cherry's on top of certain moments,the BTS part was sweet and it would have been so good to see them do their own version,the friend having so much power pissed me off and them being so careless about so much was a bit upsetting and she not being on the cancer issue from day one considering It was to late when she got a hold of it in her future was not good making the ex almost redeemable pissed me off too mostly because now in my eyes she's the bad guy justified yes but getting punished for a crime he hadn't done yet was vile especially knowing it wasn't completely his fault the Korean version let him walk into the trap and every decision leading to his death was his fault here he seems like a victim the apology was stupid IMO because in the future it was made clear he married her for how easy and naive she was there was not enough love or care for that car scene also dude didn't call his mother wtf not,she leaving him in the snow was cruel, honestly the last three episode felt displaced and Misa killing her self is out of character mostly because she's too much of a narcissistic pathological lying phyco and a psychotic break from not having her way seemed much likely for her also the sister romance was so sidelined the confession was meh.The ferris wheel jeez.

And as for the start I'll still defend it on the newness of it all and how their brain was still processing but I so understand your POV

Honestly it didn't feel stupid,if you had the opportunity to go back in time everyone feels they'll be composed and cool about it but honestly your brain isn't from that time so it makes sense you loose your cool once in a while even when she was drunk you could see her be less guarded it expected and her stupidity was her just coming to terms with an unrealistic situation.Me too am in episode 7 I can wait for the BTS moment I wonder what theirs will be or if there'll be any he seems to have a hunch.One thing I wasn't a fan of in both versions is how little the ML pushed towards her

Honestly to go through traumatic things in life and still be the best version of yourself is something to commend cause this lady was crazy and even the reason behind it was lost in translation.
I gotta say I love when people do art in good taste especially an adaptation of an adaptation if that makes sense.The actress men am I in awe of her she did such a good job so did everyone but she made me feel all the feels and I love how every line delivery was with so much pain and emotion and nuance it felt real.

Love the Korean version no comparison both are beautiful individually and done so freaking well.The 10 episode was a sweet spot honestly cause even though I grew with the 16/24 episodes I'm older now and I've outgrown unnecessary staring and lingering stretch out,it was brief and sweet and honestly I almost had it out for the fashion but it was very japanese styled and I got the hang of it eventually.

And James will think of ken blushing and ken will think of choking James out 🤣🤣🤣....I've watched enough edits to not make this joke

I'm just starting but why is he giving so much intervals between his death attempts,also did this beauty just try to washing machine himself to death Tf😂😂😂😂

This is happening a lot I fear and it's very worrisome usually when ppl post comments you exchange opinions and differencs without hostility now it's just aggressive and weird,this feels less intrusive because of the no reply but some go as far as to curse and insult you.but your question is valid and honestly based on resent events I don't think we are,the world is weird now.

Did you finish it already,what did you think about it overall?

okay I was wrong they do kiss and it's not dead fish kiss thank God, episode 9 it's looking better.......

4 episodes in and I've slept off three times now,is it me? also I ran so fast towards this show cause of the chemistry everyone was talking about but it's giving bromance I don't mind it but it is also just reading the comments and they don't kiss damn I feel like I fumbled starting this one there's a state of mind for this show and apparently I don't have it right now watching A winter wakes completely different I know but the chemistry had me sat immediately my only reason to finish this is depression and my stupid list also the comedy feels forced? I pray the ending is worth it,amen.

is North dumb😂😂😂

Honestly I thought the same thing but as someone who goes out of there way to keep the peace for there own sake I understood a bit, his friend has complex and envy so every decision he made was based on how he limited himself and treated Jae won,but making up means they'll get to spend there time in the university without holding a grudge or their time in the surfing club or any other club without bad blood and after graduation there will be a limit to their relationship, he'll never know Jae Won's personal life,or be close enough into the real world and eventually they'll end up leading different lifes that's guaranteed

They really do,if it's has no NC scenes or swoon worthy moment it's low or trash my love for MDL declines because of this I remember what a couple of years ago when the vibe was so different now it's all hate and ads
