I don’t see this when I’m watching on Gaga… My quality was fine.

GagaOOLala has it

It was supposed to be a BL with Heesu and Seungwon as the main (and only) couple. That is not what it ended up being. So it was very disappointing for a lot of BL fans who had read the series and many who hadn’t because of how it was labeled verses what we got. The series’ comment section here is full of comments in more detail about it.

I’m hoping Soul Mate is not like Heesu- labeled as a BL but not really being one.

I didn’t mention kissing making a love story authentic or not. You obviously didn’t really read my comment and came to troll. If you had watched Heesu as a BL fan, you should know what my comment meant. But while we are on the topic you started: What authentic love story doesn’t have kissing?

Don’t judge me. You don’t know me. Or do. I don’t really care past this reply comment to you because I don’t know you.

Nice.

Yeah, they’re definitely gonna give us the breakup tomorrow and then make us wait until Monday for any new developments. Makes sense. The ending scene was bittersweet. The stills they posted have a scene with Chi Cheng and Wang Shuo- I am actually looking forward to it because of its healing power in one sense for Chi Cheng. He finally gets what he needs from this crazy guy. Those who read the novel know what I’m alluding to. I wonder if we get it tomorrow or next week?

This show has my full attention. Like, it has my attention in a chokehold ong. I can’t even. It’s about to blow up tomorrow. 23 more hours to go.

Edit: Just watched the preview. Definitely looks like breakup tomorrow, as expected.

"(I'm obviously not counting WWI, that was very uncool.)" 😂
I'm not quite that old, either, but I have seen a few *ahem* decades *cough cough*

Good points made about the era. I can appreciate even hetero men caring for themselves and their appearance. It seems to have significantly fallen off with today's men in many cultures, especially Western ones.

Your comment made me think of when Shuai points it out and SuoWei realizes he cares more about his appearance after he starts falling for Chi Cheng. He didn't care when he was "straight", but now that he's "bending" for Chi Cheng, he's more conscientious of his appearance when getting ready for the day.

So true! I loved Blue Complex and wish they had made it full length. But I think that's the only reel drama I really enjoyed.

I hear you! For me, it's a century 😂 I can't with the 1900s. But that hippie era is the winner in cringe for me. First place for sure.

The one I read is also gone. They keep being deleted. You have to read one quickly whenever you find it. I just kept searching up the name until I found a new one.

The 1-10 NC scene was like, okay... People were so sprung it. Yeah, it was well acted, especially for Thomas, but it was a no for me. Too "gay" Thai Brady Bunch for me.

Now Chi Cheng? Bro was horny af for SuoWei from D1 and not ashamed, like you said. The build up kept going until the explosion.

Be it 1969 or 1970, to me there is little difference. It's the "hippie" vibe of the era I find ick. I will likely wait several episodes before I watch, if I don't end up waiting for it to be done. I will need to be able to freely fast forward when I need to. I do know that BOC produces pretty good dramas, so it'll probably have more of a Not Me vibe. I have to get over my issues with the hippie /late 60s-70s vibe to watch it.

More like a long episode or short movie.

Super cute episodes. I'm looking forward to watching this play out. 😊

As escobs said, The Boyfriend is where we all know him from. If you watch it, you will fall in love with him, too. I strongly suggest watching it. SO GOOD! And since it's concluded, you don't have to wait every week in angst as we did for each episode. 😊

Sometimes MDL does that, but Netflix Japan has never had an actual date, I don't believe. Netflix Japan only listed it as part of their 2025 lineup. I think people were just speculating up to this point. And it still may be released this month. It is entirely plausible for Netflix to drop the trailer next week and follow up with a release date the week after. Though with a well-known figure like Taecyeon, they may give us a little more notice than that. Who knows, really. We do know it is "Coming Soon" though, so likely we won't have to wait too long. It is more likely that it will still air this month.

You're real fort that. Taecyeon did say he wanted to challenge himself with this role and do it authentically, so I have hope.

This trend toward reels, especially in Korean BLs, really needs to stop.

I agree. Especially with RL. I doubt they'd be able to have as many projects following this series if their scenes were more explicit than they are. The BTS are definitely more explicit, though. I think that's part of why the BTS are so popular.

Thailand is still pretty split on how they want to represent passionate romance in their BL dramas. On one side we have Playboyy and 4Minutes, and the other we have the very cutesy Your Sky (I thought this one was cringy af, even with some more daring NC scenes) and Boys In Love. Gems like Manner of Death and Not Me (easily one of my all-time favorite Thailand BLs for both acting, storyline, and real political awareness) are hard to come by . But I digress...

I didn't watch Together with me as I'm not really a MaxTul fan, though I absolutely loved them in Manner of Death. Even Shine doesn't really interest me. Though that's mostly because I'm not interested in the '70s setting (or anything in the 1900s) or Mile with long hair. The '70s gives me ick vibes, no matter what for some reason I can't really explain, no matter the genre.

With Netflix, they could wait another month or decide “Surprise MFs!” and drop it in a week. You never know with them.

Nope. Netflix has said nothing but that it’s “Coming Soon”. With Netflix, they can drop all episodes with a week notice or space it out. We won’t know until they decide we get to know. Ah, Netflix. The streaming service that gives no Fs.
