After watching the final episodes with Eng Sub I think they did a great job with the main pairing. It wasn't rushed at all. You can always tell a longer story, yes, but what they did (with the low budget) was great. The brother's story on the other hand ... they could have left that out - problem solved! Just my 2 cents, nobody has to agree with me.

In general there is (for me) no need to explore the sexuality of every character in every detail. Watching ep8 I was afraid Yuhao would ask Xuan if he doesn't accept him because he is a man. I'm really glad he didn't. I just think it's irritating if everyone is suddenly gay and it's considered something completely normal. I would have liked it better if Xuan's sister would have gotten together with the younger brother. Wasn't Yuhao fighting because the younger brother asked him to help the girl? At the beginning it looked like the brother had feelings for Xuan's sister. But they had to include a second BL pairing, because apparently one is not enough :P

The way they ended it, I can image a sequel. Both couples are at the beginning of their relationship, the volleyball storyline can be developed too, we don't know yet what caused the injury of Xuan (or did I miss it?), more competitions to come, more relationship drama ... It could work. I'm not a fan of the brothers relationship (it was too rushed), but I would love to see how it plays out in the future.

I'm pretty sure everyone will be happy with this ending ;) Didn't understand a word, but it looked well done.

I must say I don't "feel" the brothers relationship. Maybe because a relationship between brothers (even though they are not blood related) is very complicated. There was just no time to develop it. It would have been nice to see how they behave at home, what kind of relationship they have to the other parent, how they felt when the parents remarried etc. Such a complex topic needs an own series. Otherwise why making them brothers in the first place? And, even though that's an unpopular opinion, why including this pairing into the story? It is not needed. I'm annoyed by those "BL rules" any series seems to follow like not including hetero pairings because people don't want to see that (I'm looking at you TWM, where Knock had a girlfriend and didn't kiss her even once!!) or that there must be more than one BL pairing (people can drool over) and so suddenly it looks like being gay is pretty common and completely normal. I still wonder if the brothers are bisexual or it's just the typical I'm-only-gay-for-you. From the main pairing I get a bisexual vibe, but who knows? It's a very good series but I wonder if they can ever step out of that typical BL storytelling and try a more realistic approach. How they included volleyball and how the relationship of the main couple developed was very nice. I had high hopes.

I see you're OBSESSED ;)

Rating 9.0? If they don't mess up the end, it will be the highest rated BL series on this site ;)

I love the tune they played when they kissed! The brothers story is really rushed, I honestly wonder whey they even included it in the series. Imagine it wouldn't be there, nobody would miss it. I like the brothers and they deserve an own series, but it really isn't needed and just takes the screen time from the main couple which could have a bit more development too considering the series ends in two episodes and seeing the preview it looks like Junior is crying again. This will be a last-minute-happy-end.

Yeah, I have seen it. Don't know what to think about it. This looks like a last minute happy end. Maybe it's an open end and we get a season 2 :P A girl can dream ...

"Never crossed outside the friend zone"?
Really? When Xuan was half naked and Yuhao messaged his leg, there was some eye contact I interpreted as awakening feelings from Xuan's part. Maybe it was just me? Also Xuan seemed to be most upset about the timing (before the competition) not really about the kiss itself. Who knows? I'm too lazy to go back and watch it again.

I saw a trailer of the last episodes today (didn't understand a word though, there were no subs). It seems like Junior is crying again :( His last tears didn't reach my heart, to be honest. The story lacks a bit of depth, his feelings seem superficial. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. He is young and his hormones are crazy. He is the kind of guy who falls head over heels for someone. But well ... the drama feels a bit forced. Also the brother's relationship had almost no development. If they confess their love in the next episodes, that will be ... strange.

I just wished they would have made it longer and took their time. Despite my criticism this series is really nice. I'm excited for the happy end. The low budget is at fault. Hopefully this series will be very popular (I think it already is) and Taiwan contiunes making nice BL.

I was expecting it though. They need a conflict before the big happy end. I just wonder how Xuan's (bad) reaction will be explained. Despite the countless cliche situations in this series, until now they always managed to make it look very real, funny, entertaining, emotional - and not stupid. So I hope the last two episodes will be no exception and we get a understandable reason why Xuan was so angry about a little kiss.

What I found so strange about the revelation of his feelings: why was glasses guy there? Such a secret is not easy to tell your best friend, why telling him while the other guy you barely know or have any relationship with is listening? I would have liked it more if he had confessed it only to Yu Hao.

The older brother has a very nice face. Such a soft expression ... but (for me) it's obvious that he is younger then his supposedly younger broher. They should have changed the roles. But yaoi logic works like this: taller = older = seme.

I don't know about Godt's visual though ... I found his face very distracting, but not in a good way. The whole series felt a bit childish to me.

not blood related, their parents married

Very poetic ;)

I coudn't care less about seme or uke, but it's really funny that the audience has no clue. I don't recall any other BL series where the roles are so unclear. It's refreshing! I like it.

The production is really good. I especially love the tune they played when they kissed through the net. It was also played when the brothers had a moment and in ep3 when glasses guy tried serving. Really, really beautiful. It gets me every time.

@Gabsssxo: That's genius. It would explain his reaction very well.

My eyes got a bit watery when glasses guy talked about his love for volleyball and about the "real athlete". It's refreshing that the series is not only about boys falling in love, their insecurities, or love rivals. This is about accomplishing your dream and not giving up.

So hopefully the discussion who is seme and who is uke will now finally end :P

I guess the softness and innocence of 2moons is attracting many viewers. Who knows?

Regarding Boundary Crossing: I feel like the brothers story was a bit rushed, the rest is nicely paced. It's just ... they could do so much more with this series. The volleyball, the side characters, the upcoming competition, some relationship drama, this could easily be a 1h long series with at least 15 episodes. I love TWM, but let's be honest, the story was a bit ... meh. There is much more going on in Boundary Crossing. We still don't know why and how glasses guy got injured. The brothers story needs more development too. There is a lot material they can work with.
