I really wonder why so many people are always looking for puppy love stories. I mean, it's cute, but there is nothing better than some ANGST. Lol, I guess that's just me. But seriously, I got into BL because of the angst. I like seeing the boys all vulnerable and struggeling. That makes the happy scenes even better and more meaningful.

Korn&Knock are not couple goals. I agree with that. Watching the new season there was a moment where I asked myself WHY are they even together. In BR it was for me pretty clear they loved each other, but were insecure and unable to talk to each other properly. That's not that terrible, you can learn and grow. In TWM on the other hand I never understood why Knock coudn't leave Pleng and I didn't like how they made her evil and had to reveal to him her bad side, otherwise he would still be with her, I guess. No idea. Those two characters can both grow and change over time (there is a lot of potential), but I doubt it will go down this route. The storytelling in the whole series was always a bit weak to begin with. I enjoy it the way it is though. I mean, it's a series and not real life. If I feel entertained that's all I want from it. A relationship that's healthy, happy and perfect is not necessarily more entertaining (at least not for me). I enjoy more controversial things.
Farm&Brigth ... well ... I don't think I will ever be head over heels for them, but for me their storyline is more intriguing than TWM. This time they are at least at the same level somehow.
Yihwa and Cho ... I'm biased. Yihwa is my girl. I love her too much to be able to say something negative ;)

I wonder if it has to do with thai culture. There is no other country with so many sex reassignment surgeries. I would even say Thailand is pretty famous worldwide for their beautiful Ladyboys (not in a good way though, many are prostitutes).

LOL. If I would wake up in a man's body I would be bisexual for sure. I like girls, but I don't like being one if that makes sense. Maybe time is the cure? I started reading BL 18 years ago LOL. I still enjoy it occasionally, but my obsession is gone :(

I honestly think this can be better storywise.
I love TWM, but let's be honest ... The Farm&Bright relationship was absusive and hard to swallow, the teacher (Korn's sister) and young guy relationship wasn't that intriguing either. The only good thing about TWM (and it was reaaaaaly good) was Max&Tul acting and chemistry. There were many good written scenes and they always delivered. It was extremly exciting.
In Next Chapter Yihwa gets more screentime which is always a good thing. Cho is playing his role pretty well too. The guy is more charming than I thought. Farm&Bright is getting interesting, I mean, it's really getting interesting. I never thought I would say that, but I look forward to it.
Then the parents ... it's entertaining and the humor works for me.
The only problem I see: Max&Tul. Funny thing: seeing the trailer I thought this sequel would be bad, but Max&Tul would save it for sure. Now I feel like those two are the only ones who don't deliver. Especially Tul seem to struggle playing his role. The chemistry is good, but It's different. I don't know ... it's not that exciting. I must say I loved their chemistry in TWM and even BR (!) much more. Something feels off, but we will see. As strange as it may sound: I feel like they are just too comfortable with each other, so the excitement gets lost.

You're one of those hardcore BL lovers, aren't you? :P Brings back memories. I once wrote BL stories and was part of that community ;)

No interest in hetero couples? Then there is not much entertainment you can enjoy in this world :P Every f*cking story has a hetero relationship.

Well, I guess it's supposed to be funny and cute. Also, it's Yihwa. She is making a fuss about everything. I'm not bothered by it at all, It's not as akward as Sotus 2.

I'm not a fan of Farm's transformation, but it works. His relationship with the doctor is now much more intriguing.

The subs are really bad. I'm no native speaker and my English is far from perfect, but even I am aware that there are many mistakes. Also, like you said, it seems they translate some parts literally, without taking in consideration that it doesn't make much sense in English. Lazy Subber always added an explanation.

I just love Yihwa. They could pair that girl with anybody and she would make it work. I never enjoyed Farm&Bright, but since Farm became the "cool" rabbit this relationship is intriguing.

I really liked episode 1. That scene were they exchanged rings was beautiful. Also, Yihwa and Cho are nice together. And the intro scene ... LMAO. Not a fan of those fangirls, but that was really funny seeing what reality looks like compared to what they imagined.

I don't really know what's "in" character or "out" of character anymore. Their characters in TWM were pretty different from BR. I really enjoy Knock in this new series, but it's somehow hard to tell how they will react or how their characters will develop. Maybe you're right and Korn's behaviour wasn't out of character at all :)

Yeah, this time it's obvious that Korn is wrong. In BR everyone just hated on Knock ... nobody was on his side.

As far as I know getting a sex change in Thailand is as easy as getting a double lid surgery in Korea :( I'm European, but I have seen a lot of documentaries about the so called "ladyboys". So I think it's not only confusion about gender and sexuality that plays a role here. But I like the parents a lot. The humor works for me. Farm telling Korn he is not a child anymore was pretty straight forward. What is he afraid of? Watching Bad Romance I always thought he would be the kid of rich parents and inherit their company or something like that. But that's not the case. Well, we will see ...
It's funny to see how Knock's parents are supportive though ;)

Ep 2 looked like they would just repeat the plot of BR. I liked their story in BR, but I don't want so see the exact same thing again. Knock was childisch and Korn was jaelous for no reason. As far as we know Knock never cheated on him, so why is Korn so insecure and obsessive? They never talk about their feelings which I don't dislike, but well ... not again.
Then the scenes where the whole group was together ... the timing was off ... the dialouge strange. The acting was weak in ep 2. The humor wasn't my cup of tea. Korn trying to seduce Knock felt out of character. Also, Knock only thinking about his video game ... sigh.
It felt like they would go around in circles without real progress. Ep 3 changed that for me. I liked how Knock was thinking Korn wouldn't be sad. They are both insecure about the feelings of the other one (like in BR), but the way they show us that emotional conflict was pretty good in ep 3. They were both pretty honest to each other. I mean it's obvious that Knock is unhappy about Korn's behaviour. The group of friends is also on Knock's side. It's more straight forward this time. Just my two cents. Everyone can disagree.

There was a lot to like about this episode:
First, Yihwa. The actress is highly entertaining. I like her with Cho, I like her with that new guy too, I like her scenes with Fai. It's always a pleasure watching her acting all sassy.
Second, Korn&Knock had some nice scenes. The conflict remains the same like in BR, but it feels like they are finally moving forward.
Third, Fai. I love that character. I loved her in TWM and always thought I would like to see her in a romantic plot. But no, I'm happy she is that tomboy, the comic relief, the good friend. Not even Korn, who is jaelous of every girl and boy Knock looks at, is bothered by her sharing the bed with him. Such a character is refreshing.
Forth, the parents. I really like the humor. It works for me. It's somehow charming and I really appreciate that they move forward with the story that quick. All four of them know about the relationship.
Fifth, Farm&Bright are growing on me for some strange reason.
So, hopefully the next episode will be as entertaining as this one and I'm happy.

Ep 2 was a big disappointment for me for several reasons, but I liked ep 1 a lot and ep 3 was very entertaining. I didn't skip a single scene.

A positive comment, finally! Didn't she say she was sad? That's the most normal reaction you can have. I was really digging this episode and didn't skip a scene. Even the Farm/Bright relationship is growing on me. I'm glad they are so straight forward when it comes to the parents. I thought Knock&Korn would try to hide their relatinonship until the last episode. But now we're at ep 3 and eyeryone knows about it.

7.4???? Even worse than Bad Romance?
