Acting, cinematography, and plot were absolutely amazing! The emotional development of both lead characters had depth and the romantic payoff was well worth it. A slow burn love with great chemistry. I especially loved how the opening changes subtly with each episode. It’s kinda sad to see it’s going to be another underrated JBL but seeing as Thai BLs are popular on this site it’s easy to understand.

Well I’m glad I ignored the comments and took a chance on this series. Plot is very well done exploring unrequited love and how to move on. I really like the “Miricale” message too. The chemistry between the leads is cute and I really don’t understand why others dislike it other than the obvious and quite frankly tiring critique of NC scenes/kissing. It’s wild just how many people will write off good dramas for not sexualizing the romantic relationship between two males or not having a weird toxic relationship fetish. I still have three episodes left but I’m taking it slow and enjoying the story.

Awesome! I’ve watched the fansubs and I can’t wait. Unfortunately its on Gaga, I really dislike their app. Really buggy.

Well, I’m glad they’re taking creative liberties and giving plot for the story. Like I know the manga is a yaoi oneshot but man it wasn’t that compelling and neither were the pay gorn scenes.

I will have to check out that one! The plot sounds interesting, and it's sad how many great shows get lower ratings or are even labeled as bromance because of no NC scenes or just one kiss.

Can’t tell you how many Thai BLs I dropped because all they had going for them is the NC scenes but are somehow rated higher than Korean or Japanese BLs with better acting, plot, and character development. On here it seems users should just watch Pay Gorn lmao.

Yeah, I agree. I felt like that older coworker was stepping way over the line and I'm glad Kanade stood up for himself somewhat. Still can't believe she told him to be more “considerate” and didn't even eat the sandwich! At least the conversation with the other coworker helped strengthen his feelings for Mashiro.

It’s crazy how a lot of great BL Dramas are “hated” or labeled “Bromance” because of little to no hot scenes/kisses when they have amazing chemistry, emotional/character development, and engaging plot. I prefer a good romance story over NC scenes and I can’t tell you how many Thai dramas I dropped.

Second this, such an amazing and well written drama. Made you love and hate and then love characters in the end. I get a little teary eyes listening to the OST.

Got to episode 4 and I totally get what you are saying. I didn’t like the set up of “slave” with “benefits” but I could not stop watching it. Mainly because its like watching a car accident, you just can’t look away, and I was hoping the relationship dynamic would improve as it went on. But as you say they just keep “solving” the problems in the worse way and they way the manga artist gives off “Stockholm syndrome” does not sit well with me. Knowing it doesn’t really have a good closure with meaningful growth makes it easier to drop it. Great acting and production but the story isn’t for me.
