I also agree with the comment(s) about the [final episode] being a bit underwhelming. It doesn’t really seem like Kyosuke closed that friendship to lover distance emotionally like Isumi did. It’s like he chose to be in a relationship with Isumi, not because he authentically liked him romantically, but because if he didn’t, he feared Isumi would leave and Kyosuke wouldn’t see him anymore or get his cooking. Knowing more of his thoughts would have helped, but that means 10 episodes at least, plus one more for the relationship build.
And while I don’t need passionate kisses for this, they needed more than the barely there lip touch if they were going to kiss. I could actually see their heads shaking a little to keep themselves from pressing too much, like they were forcing themselves to touch lips until the director said “cut” and no more. To me, it was the most “scripted” feeling part of the series.
As I said, I don’t need deep kissing. The series Takara-kun and Amagi-kun (high school setting) and Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice but to Kiss (college setting) are pecks too but they are more believable (and I have rewatched these two series countless times) than a college student and worker, who should be more mature.
The series needed more episodes. Ah well. Still cute up to this last episode.
I will always enjoy Japanese BLs, but this one was a bit underwhelming for me Let me add a few things....1. the…
I also agree with you about it being a bit underwhelming. That was the ending for me.

Knowing more of his thoughts would definitely have helped, but that means 10 episodes at least, plus one more for the relationship build. The series needed more episodes. Ah well.
You need to re-read more carefully. I was commenting on the suggested age of the CHARACTERS not the actors. Attention to detail can save time. Life skills.
Wrong country hon. This is based in Thailand with Thai actors... Kids are minors UNTIL they are 20 there. Same for Taiwan, South Korea, and some other countries around the world. Yes, 19 is still a minor.
I think the issue is short episode and weekly waiting. They should have released 2 episodes weekly. This short…
I agree. Why make us wait a whole week for 20+ minutes? It’s like eating one skittle a week. I wish I would have waited to watch until it was done airing. Lesson learned (maybe…Idk because I’m impulsive 🤷🏽♀️)
Doesn’t have me as hooked as IFYLITA. Some of the story feels like it’s dragging while other parts feel rushed. It feels like a mystery that’s trying too hard to be both horror and mystery. The horror scenes aren’t scary and the mystery isn’t that mysterious…just jumbled storytelling so far with weird scenes. Even the actors aren’t bought in on the fear factor. They also don’t really seem that interested in solving the “mystery”. Way too calm for being stuck in a haunted house and unable to leave. If this is all Khen’s lucid dream, then it makes a “kind” of sense. Not sure how they’re gonna drag this for 7 more episodes though. Maybe the “plot” thickens next episode? Honestly? I’m really just staying to see how they’ll bring the two mains together like in IFYLITA. I may have to put it on hold until it’s done so I can fastrack through. We shall see after episode 4.
Just watched the official pilot. If they were going to have students and teacher plots (meaning minors with adults- even trainee teachers are adults), they should have set this in college at least. I love Lee but this series is giving creepy. If the kids are seniors in Thailand, they’re still minors. Plus there are ethics to consider between teachers and students. If you’re getting romantically involved with your students as a trainee? Not the job for you.
This is nothing against any of these actors, but I need casting directors to stop casting 20-year-olds as managers…
OMG I didn’t even pay attention to their ages. Why is our badass CEO only 21? He looks hella young too. I’m not buying the badass “I’m a secretly sensitive and caring alpha male” vibe their trying to sell us. Khim is 29. He would have been better casted as the CEO. The inherent maturity that comes with age is missing as you said.
I hope whatever the director saw in casting between these two MLs shows up soon. Because this gives OhmFluke and MaxNat flatlined chemistry IMO. No zingers or butterflies. They were pretty awkward with each other, even if they were secretly in love but kept it professional for 5 years- you’d be way less awkward than these two. I didn’t even feel chemistry between Ellis and Kim. I actually forwarded through most of that part with no regrets. This series (so far) feels like these guys are all new actors who met each other the night before filming and were just given the script the next morning and discovered that they’re gonna have to get sexually intimate on camera.
But I’ll give it one more episode before I move on with my life.
I enjoyed this series. I have enjoyed the perks my membership gives me and can’t wait for part 2 or Sukfilm’s next BL series. I hope it’s soon!!! Pretty please?!💗💗💗
