So hear you. Your instinct was spot on. Watch EP 0 of Check Out, which can be viewed as a standalone.

I adore the BL genre, but I have rules. You’ve got to have chemistry. You’ve got to show to me the true reality and perception of a relationship.
I won’t accept no kissing or shit childish kisses - that’s not reality for me. And, I absolutely won’t accept a shit script which makes no sense, irrespective of the fact the actors are seriously hot. Can’t do it. Just massively pisses me off!

I absolutely adored Semantic Error, have re-watched it many times. Beautiful writing, as well as Blueming and others.

Me too. I just don’t get the comments about them not having chemistry, I think they do. I think the comments boil down to the hideous ageism thing which I hate.

Me and you both bestie! Adore how they’ve showcased their evolving characters and all because of LOVE 💕

I’m really enjoying Love Mechanics. It’s much better than the first En-love series 👍🏿

🤣🤣🤣🤣You do make me chuckle. Honestly it’s the biggest shit show disappointment ever! Basically, you need to watch on Dramacool EP 0, which was the teaser to this launch. So good. Basic but lovely. 1 million views that episode got on YouTube. So we waited for months beyond excited, only for them to drop 4 episodes to date at 1 hour 10 minutes each of utter and complete shit! If I say it’s worse than Physical Therapy, I think you’ll get my gist!

And then Seo Joon: "Are you threatening me?"
Ji Woo: "I'm begging you."
That was strong, really. Got me the chills. OH YES, those lines will indeed remain with me. From Ji Woo it felt raw. From Seo Joon I felt he was admitting I’ve already taken you back and looking to our future.

You’re so right. I adored Seo Joon’s capacity to love, not many humans could do this!

I HAVE watched ep1 3 atleast 5 times now!!!!! i am ruined babes!!!! I start from EP 3, that’s for me where the story really starts to come into its own. I absolutely love the bar scenes and anything involving Tankhun - he just has me in stitches!

Yes, I agree. The book is seriously dark and for all the reasons you mentioned. If I’m honest, having read the book, I couldn’t understand prior to the episodes releasing all the love for the Vegas/Pete ship, which I found seriously difficult reading.

However, as you do rightly say oh wise one, at least the drama doesn’t depict any of this.

You’re so right! I already have a massive list as to what I’m currently watching. Please tell me you’re not watching the other totally disappointing shit show that is Check Out?

Yes, I’d be delighted for us to be friends - please do add me x

I definitely believe that opposites do indeed attract. I’m an extrovert, but am hugely attracted to introverts by way of a partner, so can so feel their dynamic, something which came across beautifully in S1.

Also, they say in a relationship, there will always be one that loves more. I agree. So had huge respect for Ji Woo when he said he wouldn’t be able to chase Seo Joon like he did for him. Loved this.

Indeed. Indeed. And I absolutely loved the part where Seo Joon kept asking Ji Woo to tell him that he loved him and he did. Huge, huge for Ji Woo.

I so got and did empathise with Ji Woo’s issues, I just hated the way it was dealt with and delivered in the drama. But hey, as we know, every bloody K-drama is based on a lack of communication! I’m so bored of this trope and narrative!

I am indeed lovely one. Actually, I awoke at 5am and I’m currently rewatching all the episodes (well my fave parts), currently up to 8.

I have a question for you…. Have you read the book? I have and also the Vegas/Pete story!

Have also just posted my thoughts on Why Her, EP 10.

I love the way your thoughts absolutely mirror my thinking. Why a damn female? Makes no utter sense. The whole “I was never lonely with her but I was with you”. Again, makes no fucking sense, as the final episodes portrayed, he was never lonely, only loved.

I’m so aligned with you. I watch dramas to be entertained- it’s my escapism from reality. This drama, the one I was so looking forward to, just hugely disappointed. Oh well, by Monday, I’m sure I’ll have moved on and forgotten - such is life! #Snigger

Damn, EP 10. So much to get your head around. Quite a complex and head fuck episode in terms of all the shit the bad boys are planning - I’ll admit, it lost and bored me at times.

Unlike some, I actually really like the chemistry between FL and ML . He’s mature, intelligent and confident in his love, whilst also having her back. He totally understands how her brain works and what she needs. I find their interactions and conversations natural, believable and quite sweet viewing.

Ep11, she knows his true self. Now this is going to be interesting!! You can just imagine what’s going through her mind!

You’ve nailed it. “Too much angst and drama when there wasn’t even a real problem.” And, this is why this drama massively failed for me. Too much utter shit for 8 episodes, only to realise nothing was actually wrong with the relationship??!! #Sigh #ShakesHead #SoDisappointed

“For me, they just took everything I loved about the first series and threw it out the window. “ Absolutely, for me too. Do you remember when they were playing basketball and Seo Joon agreed that Ji Woo did in fact have more than one lover. Why do we then get a S2 that dominates the narrative with a female ex? Just didn’t make sense.

I’m just going to pretend it didn’t happen!

Hahaha soulmate, we knows it woman 👊🏿👍🏿👌🏾

So hear you. Of all the routes they could have taken with S2, this for me was so spectacularly wrong!

Totally agree with your thought process. A shedload of angsty nonsense which just didn’t make sense.

I so hear you. And, I respect that relationships are all about compromise, but not at the detriment of losing yourself. Something I feel Seo Joon was at the cusp of doing. The angst to love ratio for me was just massively off and just didn’t mirror in any way S1. Quite honestly, I just didn’t enjoy the ride.
