I think as the older one, by more than a few years, Sorn should know that Juin doesn’t have the experience to handle the type of relationship Sorn is willing to give atp. It was Sorn’s own greed that made him suggest it, using that inexperience against Juin. He wants Juin but is afraid committed just in case bring with someone younger bites him in the ass again. I think he cares too much for Juin that he’s genuinely afraid that if it doesn’t work out-especially because of a betrayal, he won’t recover from it. At the same time, I think he’s expecting it to fail, and badly, for him. Sorn has been drawn to Juin for years but denies his feelings because he’s younger and younger equals potentially serious consequences for Sorn.

People brushed this series off as soft porn because of the Nc scenes (I mean…they are heated so I get it), but it’s really more about two sexually healthy young men pursuing a physical relationship while navigating complex issues. Sorn and his commitment issues and fears, and Juin figuring out who he is and what he wants in a romantic relationship while finding his balance between dependence and independence. They’ve both fallen for each other, which makes a FwB relationship more hurtful as they try to hide or bury those growing feelings, hurting each other in the process. I get Sorn’s actions- I don’t agree with them, but I get them. Juin is too young to get what Sorn is going through. Poor baby. But P’Tia is there to protect him- late but that’s better than never.

I’m curious about the deal Sorn and Penny had though. Because it’s gotta be something where a fake relationship benefits them- mostly Sorn. Probably to keep Mali away. (The audacity of that little viper greeting Sorn all cheerfully after what she did to him is craziness.)

Also, I’m lowkey glad that Thanu isn’t into guys. I can’t take more love shapes. The issues between Sorn and Juin by themselves is quite enough.

Episode 9 is coming… 10 will be them apart, 11 them overcoming their issues, and 12 them together. Typical formula (if they follow it).

I think as the older one, by more than a few years, he should know that Juin doesn’t have the experience to handle such a relationship to begin with. It was Sorn’s own greed that made him suggest it, using that inexperience against him. He wants Juin but is afraid committed just in case bring with someone younger bites him in the ass again. I think he cares too much for Juin that he’s genuinely afraid that if it doesn’t work out-especially because of a betrayal, he won’t recover from it.

OMG ME TOO!!!

There are a couple but they’re support roles and only appear for a bit. But yeah, men killing each other, headed by one John Wick style badass.

That was fucking crazy and I loved every minute of it. Very Korean John Wick. I did have to skip some of the splurting scenes because…yeah. Othwewise, the ending couldn’t have been different. I really do love Korean revenge dramas.

Not free. I read it on Lezhin. It’s ongoing.

Episode 1 did not come to play but to SERVE! I’m hooked.

I’ve rewatched this SO many times. It’s my comfort drama.

Everyone has their own views. I think he’s cute.

I have read all available episodes for this webtoon and can’t wait for the live adaptation. The trailer looks promising. 😊

I just started ep 4 and I feel like Minami’s Sawako reminds me so much of Hagiwara’s Hira in My Beautiful Man in terms of demeanor and character, also in the social awkwardness that comes from being misunderstood by peers as a teen.

Just a thought. I’m really enjoying this cute little slice of Japanese High School (my first non-BL one) I stumbled upon.

There are more than 2:

To My Star, but also Color Rush had an S2, and Love Class. Kissable Lips has a S2 coming, Unintentional Love Story had a prequel or backstory on the 2nd couple with the spinoff movie with A Time of Fever. Choco Milk Shake is coming with a S2, as well. Granted, many Japanese, Korean, and even Thai BLs don’t get second seasons, but there are more KBLs with S2s released and in production, as the country gradually becomes more accepting of LGBT+. If you haven’t watched them, give them a go. Now, I’m REALLY wanting a S2 for Love for Love’s Sake (MC), Jazz for Two (focusing on the SC), and Semantic Error. I’m not holding my breath though.

The hopes were high and the letdown was significant. Even the trailer made us think we’d see WAY more of our HeeSu and SeongWon together than this straight couple no one who is a fan of the webtoon cares about. So disappointing. I hope everyone involved in the production regrets butchering this after the reviews came out. They can only make it right by doing a S2 with 95% SeongWon and HeeSu’s dating era.

Actually, probably not. Maybe Japan should just take a shot at it as a FULL BL. They’d probably do it better. Or even Thailand at this point (not GMMTV though- even though I’d love to see Barcode play Seongwon opposite Lego maybe? 😉)

This is my second watch and it’s as disturbing and heartbreaking as the first watch. Yes, you need to read between the lines a lot. I wish it had been a series instead of a movie- plot holes and character/story development would have had more time with 8-12 episodes instead of an hour. The relationship between SeJun and Yun Jae would have had more time to develop and we’d see why SeJun became the way he was, and the same for YunJae- the story with his “father” and mother was left very open. Still, the last scene of the movie, after everything happens- I wish it were longer and had more time to fully develop. 5 minutes is not enough. There was a comment on the YouTube English translated one where the poster talks about what happens after, though they don’t say where they got that information from. Maybe there’s a special or after credits not shown in the YouTube version?

I’m sure I’ll be back in a year or so, when I’ve forgotten most of what makes this so disturbing, like I did this time to make me rewatch it. I first watched it because I wanted to see more of Choi TaeJoon after seeing him in So I Married an Anti-Fan. Color me surprised by the vast difference in content.

So far, it’s only being released on Wavve. Here in the US, it’s not an available app. That means even if you manage to get the website to create a login (it doesn’t like me for some reason), you will struggle watching if you don’t understand Korean. I don’t know. The site may have subtitles but it won’t let me get past the login screen. ☹️

I’m done with the first 12 episodes. Now I’m eagerly waiting for the second half.

OMG this is hilarious! it gets even more so with each episode. Seriously. I’m only at ep6 but I’m cracking up with each scheme planned and thwarted. The two MLs are truly matched. Tgd only way this would be better is if it really were a BL instead of friendship bromance. At least, for my BL loving heart. This drama is silly and unserious in a delightful way; I can’t help but enjoy it! The key is to go into this drama with this expectation of watching something unserious and just for fun. It’s obviously unbelievable, which makes it even more amusing.

They released 1-12 already, and it looks like the last 12 will be released by Friday. I’m looking forward to it. 😊

I need THAT ending

Just finished a rewatch. I need a season 2 with Tane a little older. Just a revisit 2-3 episodes…maybe 6. 😉 Maybe Tane is in high school and dad is retired and enjoying having 3 sons around. I don’t know. I just wish for more.

I so want to see this, but it looks like it’s not available in the US. Yet, anyway. I hope Viki picks it up.
