Does someone know how successful this series was? I have no idea where to look for this information. On Viki it has 70k followers which I guess is pretty good. But I don't see the views ...

This was a movie cut into 8 parts. It seems a director's cut version will be released in theaters. And it really was an experiment. They wanted to test how viewers react to that type of content.

I'm not digging the humor

It's a Korean drama kiss, though. So be prepared.

Is this a joke? 10 years?

You mean the typical Korean lip-pressing-kiss? LOL

Thai BLs are based on badly written fan fictions. That's the whole problem. It's a certain "genre" with genre rules. It's all about pleasing an audience with copy-and-past-stories. Cute boys falling in love and being cute and dramatic and having silly love problems. I don't know in what direction Korea is going and if they plan to do more BL. It would be really exciting, though. "Where your eyes linger" was a good start, but there is room for improvement

All my favorite BLs are Thai BLs, but let's be honest, I sometimes feel like loosing brain cells watching those stories.

It's on YouTube, I watched it there.

Korean storytelling is just on another level. There is something deep and emotional about it, you don't find anywhere else. I'm European and not even that familiar with Asian culture, but those stories speak to me a lot. That said, I must admit, I'm not crazy about this series either. I like it and I enjoyed watching it, but I'm not smiling happily and feeling all fuzzy.

Popular shows get sequels. Teacher Kim is also an example. "Where your eyes linger" was a movie cut into 8 parts. It really didn't feel like a series at all.

Episode 7 EN only 1% ... lol ...

I didn't expect them to kiss for the reasons you mentioned. I was really surprised they did it. But yeah, I'm not crazy about that kiss. But it's not like they are doing a better job in straight dramas. I think Korean dramas are pretty famous for their closed-lip-kissing.

When I talk about BL I mean the series with the "gay relationship" tag. But that's just me.

So you think a BL ending with a high five is similar terrible as a BL where one of the guys dies at the end? Made me laugh. People are really traumatized because of 2gether :D

8.8 is pretty solid. The highest rated BL on this site is Trapped with 8.9, then comes TharnType, Boundary Crossing, Sotus etc. Hopefully the rating will stay like this or even going up.

Seriously, that kiss wasn't great. Kang Gook didn't even move his lips. But that's just the Korean way of kissing. I mean, I'm not mad at it.

We even got a kiss. I watched it at 5am (my time zone) just to see if they will have the balls to do it ...

I have mixed feelings about this. Looking back I think it was overly complicated and I'm normally a sucker for mind games, complex characters and lots of tension. I thought some of their dialogues were very cryptic (maybe the bad translation is at fault). The kiss was underwhelming too, but that's not surprising for a Korean drama. The word "timid" comes to my mind when describing this series. I felt like they were just beating around the bush most of the time. It was very well made, though. The actors were great, the music - everything. I mean, this is Korea after all. And they put a lot of story into those 80 minutes.

I don't think you know about life at the age of 25
