Was it really that bad? It was a bit crazy and stupid, but the result was pretty nice.

"Because sometimes I do the 5 sec skip when they're just breathing -.-" Hahahahaha ...
They are just sitting, thinking, breathing ... who knows? And they always make the same faces. I honestly would root for a Non&Kao plot. That would spice things up.

Very good episode. Sweet, romantic, funny, sad ... and that kiss at the end was the cherry on the cake.

There will be intimate scenes. They said that several times in interviews.

The decision to not add kiss scenes is the biggest fail. Even if the plot and dialogues are slow and cringy, with some well delivered cute and romantic scenes it could still be an entertaining watch. Imagine they would have kissed in all those scenes where the director decided NOT to make them kiss, like in the pool, in the bedroom, in the car ... We would have at least 4 kisses by now. Just imagine ... it's so sad. I really loved the kiss in Our Skyy. It was nothing big, nothing passionate, but it was so sweet, the dialogue was cute, the scenery was beautiful. No need to make it sexual and erotic. I just don't get what kind of message they want to deliver by not showing us those scenes. Apparently the director said he wants to concentrate on the story and acting. Neither the story nor the acting is convincing. Make a powerful and convincing story and I'm sold. But this is not intriguing at all.

On a side note: I watch it at speed 1,25. No problem following the subtitles. You aren't even aware that's speeded up. I mean, that's proof how SLOOOOW this is. How they make big pauses while they are talking, how slow everything happens.

I think a realistic drama is much, much better than some kind of fairy tale plot, because you can learn something from it, identify with the characters etc. But in this case I doubt this is realistic. Do people out there really have such boring lives? The dialogue is the worst. It's just so slow.

Did you watch Kiss The Series? They reinvented Kao 3 (!!!) times now. And this kind of plot (coming out anxiety) is pretty cliche and ALWAYS the next step if there is an established relationship. They did the same in Together With Me. Making Kao the one who is in the closet makes no sense to me.

LOL, I'm saying this since ep2: they changed Kao's character and I'm not forgiving them. He was the sole reason why this couple worked so well (for me). He was so bold, didn't take Pete's BS and was the one in control in this relationship. Him fighting off Pete when he wanted to cuddle etc. was fitting the "you're playing hard to get" theme. It was cute and funny. Now it's just irritating. In KMA he gave in after all, in DBK it just seems like the director is avoiding kiss scenes at all cost.
It's so stupid.

They changed the storyline/characters. As far as I remember in KMA Pete was unsure about being gay and afraid of what would happen when those photos his girlfriend made of them kissing would leak. Kao said something like "You cannot take a decision if it's getting difficult" which Pete took to heart, so he didn't try to hide the relationship. Now suddenly Kao is the one who is afraid of coming out? Kao was a completely different character in KMA. He became that kind of "bottom" I honestly don't enjoy watching. But other people may like it.

In Love Beyond Frontier he was unbearable to watch. The same in Dark Blue Kiss. I don't like his acting at all. In KMA he was my favorite though. Strange. Maybe I'm just not into those whiny/cute roles. In KMA he had some balls.

Don't listen to the negative comments. Don't take it personal. This is just the way it is on this site. You cannot expect everyone to love a series.

There are only 4 episodes (length ca. 45 minutes). They cut them in two parts, that's all. You can find the episodes on Kissasian.sh

Btw: I liked Stay away from me. It was solid BL with cute actors. Better than Obssesed (the story was a mess) and My Hero (never understood why this even was considered BL in the first place). HIStory series are in general a hit or miss. I wonder why there is such a big following and such high expectations as if EVERY series has to be great. The quality was always very inconsistent.

You’re so arrogant and rude and then you want to lecture others?

Imagine almost half of the series is over and that’s what we got until now.

Pete&Kao bore the hell out of me. I have also zero interest in Sun&Mork for whatever reason. But objectively speaking it’s really not that bad. It’s pretty solid. The script is the biggest issue, that’s for sure. But for people who enjoy this kind of plot and/or are new to genre, this is a decent watch. It’s just a shame that they couldn’t come up with something more interesting and exciting. My support is over though. I have better things to do with my time.

I don't think the acting is bad, it's just the way the characters are written (over the top) which I'm not a fan of either. But the acting itself ... Hao Ting's girlfriend crying was more emotional than back then Fandy crying in Boundary Crossing. Also HJZ as Yu Xi Gu plays the miserable boy excellent. There was not a single second until now where I thought his acting is anything else than great. They just overdo it with the humor. I feel if they would give Hao Ting's character a bit more depth, the whole series would feel differently.

It seems With Love and Thank God It's Friday isn't getting much attention. Maybe I will try it out. Same for I'm your King, though I didn't like the first season. In general the season has a lot of different series to offer (which is always a good thing), but personally I'm just not very excited.

The main couple has also a very nice chemistry, but I don't see it in the series yet. Hopefully that will change.

"So happy there are so many others airing bl and ones coming"
Which one? Dark Blue Kiss is a big disappointment, TharnType (well, no need to go there AGAIN, but it's at least more entertaining than DBK), then there is a series with an incarnation plot coming up (not a fan of incarnation stories) ... what else? The Effect is somehow hard to get into it ... This BL season isn't as exciting as I hoped.

I'm still pretty excited for this series, but the childish behavior of Hao Ting is getting problematic. I'm okay with the crazy Sun Bo Xiang, but TWO such characters? Shouting out the name of the guy you're in love? Who does that? I honestly don't think their behavior will change either, because the characters are written like this. Hao Ting behaves like a girl in love, giggling over the photos from the boy he likes ... sigh ... it's the kind of humor that isn't working well for me. It's also a mystery how he felt in love so suddenly. That he isn't bothered by it is typical for HIStory series where they always deliver the message: "I don't care boy or girl". Many people seem to like that there is no "gay panic", but well ... it just happened out of the blue. I also have a hard time believing Hao Ting is into Yu Xi Gu. There is chemistry between the actors, the acting is good, maybe the script is holding them back? I just don't "feel" that those guys are into each other. The same with the second couple. Still this series has a certain atmosphere I really enjoy. So hopefully it will get better.
