Grooming!! That's what it is!! No, but seriously. I can understand the robot character as he was programmed to be liked by the professor guy - even though, kissing him out of the blue was kind of weird and the oppa scene traumatised me for life (who on hell programmed him to say that!) - but the prof is creepy. Also, he seems to be acted this way because his dog died at one point (that's what I understood with all those flashbacks) and, even though I can understand that losing a pet that is part of your family can be hard, I don't understand the trauma he seems to be having...

I rarely drop shows but I couldn't watch this drama anymore. It's boring from the start and... weird... The two guys seem already in love from the first episode and I hate those scenes where they look into each other's eyes for far too long (and there are a LOT of them). Also, the professor guy is a pervert... I'm sorry but he just met the robot and he's already touching his lips in a really perverted way. I could almost hear his thoughts about what he could do with them. And the scene where the robot washes the guy's hair not too long after confirmed my thoughts: he's a pervert... The last show (VIP Only) was also very boring and I almost dropped it (but I didn't because I con't like judging shows that I haven't finished). However, I can't waste my time with sh*tty shows anymore. These are really not my type of shows and I'm wondering if Taiwan lost its touch in BL dramas because I haven't liked a Taiwanese BL for a long time now... The only drama that I liked from this production was You Are Mine.

Boring... I can't say anything more about this film. I was bored from beginning to end.

It was a very nice adaptation, I really liked following the story of Achi and Karan. I'm just a bit disappointed that they haven't added more of the story of Jinta and Min because, contrary to the Japanese version in which I didn't really like Tsuge, I absolutely adored Jinta ! He was fun and a great friend for Achi. So, I'm a bit sad not to be able to see the end of his magic (even though, their last scene was really cute).

Very cute drama that shows the overworking culture in Japan. I think it was well executed, I really liked it.

On the contrary! I was very suprised but in a good way! Especially because I've seen that we finished this series at the same time 😂

You again 🤣
I agree. The Doc was a good villain at least. Tharn was a poor protagonist...

After having missed two episodes live in a row, I've finally remembered that Cherry Magic was on today! And the episode was very cute as always. I'm just wondering if it's normal that we can't hear Karan's thoughts at the end. I was kind of frustrated to hear the sound effect when we're supposed to hear people's mind but not hearing anything.
Anyway, I can't believe next week we'll be the end of this series already...

It was way too short and I don't like the open ending (well, I like it but I prefer when things are clear). They could've done a really good series with more budget but I understand the struggle. That's a shame because the actors were good!

Oh, yes!!! I forgot about Babe ignoring Way's question when he was literaly dying!! It was so funny (and sad, at the same time). He only answered the question when Way was already gone 😂
Added to that, Tony's Marion Cotillard's death from Batman was also hilarious. And I like Nut's acting but his death in this series was really funny. I don't know if you noticed but, in the background, Pete's crying face was really comical.

Also, I'm going to talk about Charlie but... This guy approached Babe in the very first episode to ask for a car for a race that he wants to take part in. But... it is proven later that he doesn't know how to race at all!!! And then, he's chosen to replace Babe in a race just because he has talent?! And the racing thing is never brought up again after Charlie's accident. Can we agree that the racing plot (that is supposed to be important because it's in the poster and the summary) is just an excuse for this crap?...

Anyway... We should move on from this crappy thing and hope it will never happen again (but as we know, it won't stop). I'm waiting for Sign that was supposed to end on the 11th but apparently the last episode is on the 24th...

Women are just here to hold umbrellas for the boys when it's time for them to race... And you don't need women in a world where men can get pregnant... 🙄
And you talking about the little boy reminded me something that I totally forgot to mention in my comment while I was so shocked to see that in the series: none of the boys cared about the kids... They are supposed to interrupt Tony's fake charity auction to save the children but when Alan came to save Jeff, they left without the kids!!!! Jeff wanted to bring them with them but Alan refused!!!! And when Charlie suddenly appear to save Babe, he wants him to run away before Babe refused!!!! That was so egotistical that it was hilarious and it reminded me of them leaving Kim behind when they came to save him. I mean we don't know what happens to the kids that were supposed to be sold and I'm pretty sure that the ones already sold are still under the ownership of the billionaires at this point. That's hilarious and at the same time very disappointing the little care they have for those poor children...

And I'm glad I'm not crazy for thinking there was something going on between Way and Pete. But then, they showed us that kiss which was - as you said - totally random to go back in the present day and not only kill Way in a stupid way (so no Pete/Way for sure) but also totally ignoring Pete and Kenta at the end (so no Pete/Kenta too). I don't understand anything about what they tried to do with them...

I'm really disappointed that these kind of shows are still very much liked because people will continue making them and we will continue being fooled by the ratings. I mean, shows need to be different to please a large part of the audience but at least, even if Love In the Air was very bad - and I still don't understand the hype for Payu and Rain's ship -, the second couple was more interesting to watch. Here, none of the couples and characters were interesting, the story was all over the place and there was absolutely no chemistry at all between the two main leads.
I've rated it a 2 only because of Pavel and Nut's chemistry. They should've been the end game.

Yes, I finally ended the suffering!!
For Way's part, you're absolutely right. Him being the Enigma is weird. Especially because, as you mentioned, he wasted so much time and there are no freaking reasons why Tony did nothing to him all these years when he easily slaps Kenta for the slightest mistake. But the story is so all over the place that I'm not even surprised now...

You'll be happy because, yes, the third couple that I mentioned was Pete and Kenta. But you'll also be disappointed because the only thing we see of them is just a kiss. Nothing more happen between them. I don't even know if the writers wanted us to ship Pete with Way or with Kenta because I felt that there was a weird connection between Pete and Way but then, they showed Pete and Kenta kissing so I was very confused. But I'm not going to spoil more, I don't want to ruin all the fun of discovering this mess 😆

And I was wondering exactly the same about Alan! I'm as confused as you concerning his age because him being refered as "uncle" makes no sense. To me, he's no more than in his early 30s so why are they calling him "uncle" when most of them are in their late 20s... But it's not the only thing that doesn't make sense in this show...

Thanks to your explanation, I understand better now the Alpha/Enigma thing. I never heard about this novel before and I'm not the kind of person to look for information about the series beforehand (unless, I'm really interested in watching the series). So, I was really lost since the first episode with the Alpha term, and then, they introduced Enigma, which lost me even more...

I'm on episode 11 now, so I'm not going to spoil but I agree with you on the plot not making a lot of sense. I just want to correct you on the fact that Tony didn't send Charlie to Babe but Charlie did it on his own (for whatever reasons). Tony was even mad at Kenta for not knowing that before. But I agree that Charlie should have been an Enigma. I would even improve the story by making Tony sending Charlie flirting with Babe and they SLOWLY (because they don't know that word) fall in love with each other. And then, Babe discovers the truth and so on... It would have probably been a thousand times better if it happened like this...

Anyway, it seems that there's a third couple (or fourth if you count North and Sonic) and I couldn't care less... The only thing I'm caring about is that I still have 2 episodes to watch and I'm free!!! To be honest, episode 10 and 11 are quite easy to watch because we don't see Charlie much (that was a relief!) and even Babe in episode 11. But they are compensating with Alan and Jeff... At least, they are more likable that the former couple.

And I made a mistake in my previous comment with Kim's name. I called him Win 😅 I care so less about the characters that I can't even remember their names properly 🤣

Is them calling each other "Mama" and "Papa" one of the pet peeves you were talking about? Because I'm absolutely disgusted everytime they call each other that...
I've just finished episode 8 and I'm not giving up but I'm skipping all the kisses and s*x scenes from Babe and Charlie for now. I can't see them together anymore...
I understand the feeling you have towards the characters, I feel the same. I don't feel invested in any of the characters from this series. And that's a shame because there are good actors in there, they are just not in the right series... And I was even saying to myself when watching those episodes that if Babe and Way would have ended up together instead of Charlie, it would have been much better! Because, I don't know if you agree with me or not, but Pavel and Nut have so much chemistry compared with Pooh, that it's a shame they didn't use that to their advantage to make a good show (I know it's based from a book, but why not improve the source material!).
I'm really lost with the terms Alpha and Enigma (they didn't even dare to explain to us what it was exactly). I feel that Enigma is Way but that would make things even weirder... Because Charlie explained to Babe that Tony wants to force Babe and Enigma to have a child for him to own a sort of superhero but... are they living in another universe where two men can conceive?... Because if not, that's not possible for obvious reasons...
Anyway, the end of episode 8 was so comical that I thought I was watching a comedy. Sonic and North followed Winner to save Win and, at the end, they left him alone with Winner. That was hilarious!!

I'm laughing my a** off reading your comment. At least, there's something that I enjoy and keeps me motivated to keep watching!

I just finished episode 3 and I want to kill myself... It's ONLY episode 3 and Babe's already kissing Charlie. There are 10 more episodes so what are they even going to show us at this point because Babe is already in love (which feels so out of character...). He even added a heart to Charlie's name in his contact. That's ridiculous!
And I understand your feelings for the second couple now that they introduced Jeff, I don't feel them either... I don't really mind Jeff but I feel like Alan is a bit too intrusive when Jeff clearly specified that he doesn't like being touched. But at least, I'm okay watching their scenes compared to Babe and Charlie's.
Also, is it me or the series turned a bit into sci-fi?... It became X-Men all of a sudden with children having powers and a weird guy using them for a unknown purpose... I don't know where they're going with that but it doesn't fit the genre of the series...
Let's go watch episode 4! (And I've seen that you've already on episode 8! Is it any better?)

Yeah, I'm going to continue watching. I hate dropping shows, even if I don't like them, because I can't properly judge them. And sometimes (very rarely), the show got better by the end so we never know!
My taste has also definitely changed. I know that if I were to rewatch some shows that I loved in the past nowadays, I would probably not like them as much or at all. But, unlike you, I've become less tolerant with all the clichés and tropes that they still use in some of the BL today. Sometimes, when it's well done, I accept them, but in this one, I can't...

I'm also glad to have found someone with the same taste as me. Sometimes, I wonder if I'm not too old for this type of shows... Maybe if I was younger I would've liked them but now, I've matured enough not to like dumb characters with innocent looks who only knows how to whine to get what they want...
I don't know who is Jeff but I'll see if I like the second couple better. It was the case for LITA so... I'll see (if I have the courage to continue the series, of course!).

In that case, I don't know why... I don't like judging actors by their looks but the guy is not great looking and he has no charms at all (just my opinion, of course).
I've had the displeasure to watch LINA before and the premise looks the same. So if you like PayuxRain, you're probably gonna like this one. I personnally hated this ship.

Oh, my God, THANK YOU!!! But you're scaring me because if you've already watched 4 episodes and still think that way, I don't think I will be able to continue watching...
It's very true that Babe's feelings make no freaking sense. The guy is supposed to use people to his advantage and just because the guy smells good (which is also a very weird approach...), he accepts to let him use his cars...
Also, I forgot to write it in my first comment but I really dislike the s*x scenes right from the first episode... I didn't even have the time to get attached to the characters that I have to see them f**k (and I don't even like one of the guy). I'm not a prude but s*x scenes should have a purpose. Here, they are used just to please a certain audience...
Anyway, I would even rate Charlie a 0 for now. He's not doing it for me.
