Not with these directors and producers the way this was handled was just appalling! I say instead of a second season the cast should be under a new production team (ones that are actually non homophobic & don’t use queer baiting) and redo the whole thing to be a more faithful adaptation

Episode three was the cutest so far I just wish that it was slightly longer episodes so that there’s more time to focus on the current and developing ships

It’s really not I’m not gonna devote time for a rewatch to a very straight washed series that sidelines the couple who should’ve been the primary focus and the god awful tennis drama no thanks

The ZeeNu Magic is magicing so hard not to mention the budget!!! Even the end credits are so beautiful😭 only a couple things the first fight’s choreo is a bit off and the time period isn’t clearly defined at first so it was confusing but that fixed itself so that’s ok

Problem is that this was marketed for a solid year as a “BL” series but then shelved for three years until this year and just serves as a very loose adaption only in name; Straight washed, overshadowed LGBTQIA couple, characters personalities overhauled, and just general homophobia

End of this series and overall very meh I mean BL’s out of Taiwan used to be top tier before this year what happened?! I prefered Parker’s character in Your Mine more to this one as well

Very disappointing this series had so much potential but we just end up with a straight-washed tennis drama for the most part. Also to anyone trying to defend this mess shame on you; this could’ve been beautiful but no it’s just an wasted version of what an actual adaption could’ve been (and no I did not read the original manwha yet I plan to but I’m not gonna use that as an excuse for this like some do)

It’s a matter of legality set in realistic age laws/requirement’s (defined by said country) No he was still a minor at the time this was filmed and production finished while his character (fictional) may or may have not became of legal aged in a fictionalized 2023

This is so frustrating 8/10 episodes in and it’s like main couple who should be main couple in this supposed BL series gets a little more character development then it 360’s it’s way back to all of its attention on the straight couple with an emphasis on how much of we see of Chang On’s stupid tennis storyline (no one came here for either of these things) then we get our main couple again but it’s like just say you like each other always it’s called communication and understanding come on there’s two episodes left for Pete’s sake

Basically this show is like if Blueming and Semantic Error came together and had a baby omg it’s amazing so far. All the characters are so clueless but adorable about it

The biggest problem(s) I have is that if your gonna adapt a BL story into a series keep it BL fully and not just in name like seriously if the production and writers were gonna take it in this direction they could’ve just created an entirely different story with similarly named characters and similar personalities and slapped its own unique title on to that than just seemingly taking the characters from a well known beloved manwha and just straight washing all over the place and giving less focus the always intended gay couple like it’s infuriating and no should’ve been two separate series

2 episodes in and I actually really do enjoy this series more (I don’t like to compare series) than Chan Yeong in class 2 I mean Heesu in Class 2 which in the first five episodes decided to straight wash itself entirely. Business as Usual is cute and the fact it may just stem from a misunderstanding between the two leads feels more real and impactful

I mean your comment is like a grammatical error ride from hell also your basically insulting the actors looks where it’s not even remotely relevant to the overall bad bad bad adaption so far

Don’t get me wrong I’m glad there finally was the kiss and confession but it’s episode 9 out of 12 and it’s so so so slow it’s almost patronizingly slow. Also that dance scene followed up by the sudden blackmail was the cringiest cringe to ever cringe

I’m gonna save my review for later but I don’t understand how is this a BL at this point don’t get me wrong I haven’t read the original manwha (I plan to at some point) but this just seems so straight washed to the point that they added a straight couple who’s relationship doesn’t even seem to exist in the original source material and made most of the focus on them. Especially in episodes 3 and 4 (4 barely giving more than 2 mins between Heesu and Su Wong who should be the primary focus) First two episodes amazing these last two episodes complete disappointment now I’m sad

The start of the latest episode is confusing how long are they in that manor for? Also generally enjoying Yi Qing and Jing He’s story more than the main couple’s (the addition of Ian added is a nice mix) still there was really a lack of conflict this episode

Korn* sorry
