You missed my point. You have the right to feel that "it was very lackluster with too many storyline gaps, filler scenes and disturbing storytelling", it's your personal opinion and you can give any rating you want. After that, the consensus in MDL is that this show deserve a 8.5 based on MDL's users opinions that bothered to rate this one.

You are just one of the few that really didn't appreciate this show.

It's not "overrated". You didn't like it as much as others and it's totally fine. It's also why it "only" get 8.5 because if everyone liked it it would be much closer to 10, don't you think so ? ^^

Don't get your hope up. "Season 2 topic" are most likely just clickbait. Nothing from official source indicate that Season 2 is even a thing.

I don't know if it's the case here, but sometime buying the right to adapt their manga can really be high.

God I think I'm blessed with poor observation skills. xD

Because -again- I didn't see any of that. It was the same mess with others shows I have seen recently (My Love Mix-Up "cinematography & light" and Only Boo "changing hair cut" for example).

So yeah, all those little detail going right upside my head, I'm totally fine with that. I'm just here enjoying those shows innocently without a care. :P

The body of Gwi-Ju was never found because he was saved by his future son. He never died in the first place. They share a deep connection, so it's probably why it was possible.

His power is to find lost thing and bring them back to him, like a summon. He lost his ball yesterday and summoned it. Do Da-Hae said she lost her father, the kid just summoned him when he was lost 18y ago when he saved teenager Do Da-Hae before the lab blew up. I found this quite lovely. :)

For the son's power: I don't think we can really understand how it works completely but to me it works this way. His power is to find "lost thing" and bring them back to his present self. So it find is dad when he was "lost", 18y ago when he save teenager Do Da-Hae just before the lab blew up. Seeing him completely fine, I don't think he went to the past per se. More like a summon ?

It's also why Gwi-Joo "disappeared". For him, being with his son his like it was yesterday when he saved Do Da-Hae. Time travel logic here.

Really loved it! It was such a unique story with lot of twist & lovable grey characters. I personally really like Do Da-Hae, Bok Gwi-Ju, the ML's Sister, FL's Sister & Uncle and Bok I-Na. They are flawed but in a lovely manner.

Not everything was perfect of course. If I would point something, for me it was the romance between FL & ML. It was good but... it missed something somehow. I cannot really explain. Maybe the main plot overshadowed too much the romance ? I was really captivated by the plot that the romance seemed a bit... lackluster even if it was good ? It doesn't make sense even for me, but it's what I felt.

And maybe it's because I'm greedy but I wanted more. I wanted to fully explore the backstory of their family's power. Even the story of the scammer family. Who was Grace and where did she come from ? How did they "adopted" her ? Same with the Uncle. Even the mum story and her lost daughter. I also wanted to see more about the relationship between ML's Sister and FL's Uncle that was hinted near the end. I wanted to know more about how I-Na evolved in the last 5 years. Even some life moment of No-Ri. And lastly, a full episode of fluffy moments when ML come back. Yes, I'm that greedy.

Nonetheless, the ending is still one of the most beautiful I've seen. I really didn't expect that. Overall, this show will linger in my mind. 9/10

All of that is somewhat related to the budget they can alloy to such projects. BL content will always have inferior budget because it's more niche.

It can still evolve in the future with bigger and bigger one (like it did happen in the last few years) but they could never reach "traditional" projects for obvious reasons. It's a reality that need to be acknowledged.

So no, I don't see as a problem to have "pink googles" and having lower expectation when it come to them. That just my opinion.

It was good. I didn't know we had so many expert in cinematography here. Personally, I didn't catch on any of their claims before reading this here. I'm probably just that easy when it come to BL. I liked the vibes, both actor are cute, the storyline will be good because it's an adaptation of a manga I liked, so I already know I will enjoy myself. :D

Having a boner isn't "hard" (haha) when you are young. Simple touch, some vibration (like being on a bus) and just the situation itself can get you one. So yeah, it happen and it's no big deal.

Oh yeah, I remember "YYY", it was so chaotic near the end (really, a spaceship ? xD). I didn't seem to have watched "Rak Diao" so thanks for the input!

It could be also a lost in translation thing. But to be fair, I don't know if it's a "french" thing, but we talk about trauma for every phobia that are triggered by an event. Like with a dog bite -> fear of dog. Stuck in a closeted space -> Claustrophobia. They are all trauma and they can be mild (or extreme for some).

Not really. All we know is that the ceiling collapse and they hold a funeral with an empty coffin. The fact that the coffin is empty is a huge hint that he isn't dead.

No it's a loop. If she is alive, it mean his future self did save her. He still don't know how & when but it "already" did happen. If you didn't notice yet, every "time travel" he did so far that should change the timeline actually didn't, the past & present already have them included. They don't have multiple timeline here but one and only. Meaning, that it's 100% bond to happen and she will never "disappear" if he don't go back to the past because he already somewhat did it and cannot not go back in the past to save her - again we just don't know the how & when.

It's why they insist on saying that her past is his future.

Trauma can be an irrational fear of something triggered by a bad event or something you cannot overcome making you struggle when you experience it again. His first time being filmed seems to be a very bad experience for him. Leading him to fear, panic or being overly stressed after that in front of camera/peoples when acting.

Saying that, trauma can be really serious that need help from your acquaintances or even professional. But it can also be "manageable" on your own if it's something "light" like it seems to be the case here.

Wandee Goodday check the "Light comedy bl" as my fav of currently airing. You can also check "Knock Knock, Boys!" if you want a more chaotic vibe (only 3 episodes are released yet).

On a side note, if you aren't just loving BL, "Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale" is worth to check out if it's your jam (but again, only 2 episodes are released yet). "Lovely Runner" is also really funny (but with "heavy moment" from time to time) but I'm pretty sure you should already have heard of that one.

I was kinda prepared but the final twist really was a bit... uncomfortable for me. First, even though I have saw it miles away, his "female friend" seeking for him was already stretching my limit. Like I said, I saw it coming so it wasn't that bad.

But the last one, with the daughter-mother sex scene ? I wasn't prepared for that, AT ALL. The fact that he love the mother but do it with her daughter WHILE the mother watch them ? Just because they cannot make love together (I could argue with that but it's her choice in the end, I can understand that), they are using her daughter -who clearly have romantic feeling for him- as a substitute ? And it's finally portrayed as a fulfilling experience that completely fine with them & make everyone "happy" (like in the letter, the mother saying "I hope we could the three of us live happily together in the future.") was really beyond my understanding.

No, it was too twisted for me and I think I'm pretty open minded. So yeah, except for that, it's a great movie. Maybe a bit sugarcoated but I wasn't really here for a documentary to be honest. :)

Yeah, the empty coffin is clearly a hint that he isn't dead. It's either for scamming Do Da-hae's Mother (even if I don't really see why they would do that yet) or him be enable to go back to them (Trap in the past ? Lost with amnesia ?). Then they just assumed he was dead. He will then come back after the "Time skip from Dramaland©" that always appear in the last episode.
