Thank you for the link! It's the first episode I saw in HD. It looks much less low budget now LOL.

But nobody is saying it here. Don't start a drama.

Did you follow the instructions (second link)? It worked for me. No need to disable the adblocker.

I think Chris Wu does an even better job, because he is completely different in real life. Cute and funny, while in the series he is so serious and stiff.

The police officer is growing on me ...

This isn't bad. With good image quality, good subs and easy to access links this could be quite popular.

I don't know ... I feel like this has potential, but it could have been so much better. The storytelling in the first episode didn't draw me in at all. And the police officer's acting is so cringy. I don't know if it's on purpose and he will change over time (hopefully we get some character development!) or if he is simply a bad actor. The other guy surprised me though. He seemed so stiff in the preview, but it seems he is surprisingly charismatic. The whole side cast is pretty nice. I just feel they could have done a better job by changing a few things.

Did someone watch it? Is it any good? Because the preview I have seen is horrible. In every scene where there was something going on between the main pairing one guy always had the eyes wide open, shocked. It reminds me of those terrible K-drama kisses. I‘m too old for this cheesy and childish shit.

Not my favorite episode. Korn being a coward until the very end. Jesus ...
The acting was good (better than expected seeing the preview; their tears could reach me), the music didn't fit the scenes sometimes ... and all those coincidences. How Pete knows WanWan ... um. And the father arriving at the most unfortunate moment. They must all live in the neighborhood I guess. Korn's father always gets me, the actor is great, but breaking down in front of them? That must be an asian thing. Everyone seems weak on their feet. I also expected a stronger reaction of their groups of friends. They were like "shit happens".
And now Knock&Pete?
No idea how they will overcome this though it was nice that they talked so openly about the situation (Cho accusing Korn of being paranoid and now he was the one who cheats; Knock saying he was doing something good for "them" while Korn was cheating).

I cried a lot. I don't remember crying watching BR and TWM. The whole production in this episode and the acting was great. They played some epic music in the background. Really, really well done. Not a boring second.

I feel bad for the actors and the team. Their great work gets not the acknowledgement it deserves. If Max&Tul would be all over each other, everyone would love it. Imagine you have to play the same role, the same character, which cannot be that challenging, and now you try something else, to step up the game, and people are hating it. Even if this is a BL series, it feels like they are breaking out from the genre and deliver something pretty atypical - and it doesn't get any approval.

I will admit it, I'm triggered. I always say, I'm not a writer, I'm a whore of the market. You have to please your audience, that's the first rule. But along the way you lose yourself, because you have to deliver the same old stuff over and over again. You cannot take any risk, you cannot dig really deep, writing your heart out, presenting unpleasant storylines that are putting yourself in a deep emotional breakdown - because people will not understand it and just look in a different direction, bored.

@Pedro: You blocked me? What a child you are ...
Your comment. "They have absolutely ruined Knock, Korn and Farm beyond the point of no return. None of these three characters have shown at any point this season why they deserve any sympathy. They are not even good anti-heroes, because while they are all stupid, self-centred and selfish, they are not having fun with it and relishing in villany. It's just bad."

In life things go wrong if you like it or not. And that has not necessarily to do with being stupid, self-centered and selfish. And even if it does, that's human nature. Don't trash a series and be happy instead that life never told you that lessen. I experienced it the hard way. Some things just don't work out the way you want it. You can do your f*cking best, the result will be the same.

Btw: this was the most emotional episode until now (BR and TWM included).

After watching the new episode we know Knock was scared too. He thought his parents would be embarrassed and kick him out. Korn messed this up BIG TIME. Jesus, no idea how they will make this work again ...

I don't see many. I counted only two (me included).

They know how to shock us that's for sure. My heart is still racing ...

The plot isn't bad if you're willing to think about it and get more into it. In fact it's incredible intriguing, but I agree that the decision to let them not have any good moment was not that smart. I guess they will break up in episode 8 and then? Only five more episodes to come. If they decide for a last minute happy end, then we only get one (!) good scene between them where they are happy and in love. That's honestly frustrating and I wonder why they writers thought that's a good idea.

I wouldn't be surprised if after that kiss (or in the worst case more than a kiss ) many people would stop watching. The writers are really crossing the line with this LOL. We still don't know what will happen, but imagine ... after BR where Korn was constantly accusing Knock of cheating, he was behaving like a possessive lover, all this jealousy, even in TWM he was pretty demanding if you think about it. He stole the boyfriend of a girl and wasn't concerned about it at all. We all rooted for him (me too), because he was so in love and he knew exactly what he wanted. He forced Knock to make a decision when now he himself isn't able to move forward and tell his parents about the relationship - and now, after all this, he cheats on Knock? This is just insane. I always said Knock's best quality is his loyalty and how faithful he is. I really hope they keep that until the end. Knock is aware of his flaws, but Korn seem to think he is always right. It's now his turn to change something about himself.

"(And about the cheating thing, i didn't think they would go for that cuz of fanservice. Korn cheating at this point is no surprise, cuz Knock is rejecting every advance Korn makes towards him, Knock isn't being affectionate. Now he found out that Knock hides stuff from him, I could see Korn at least thinking about someone else.Bu we don;t know for sure what happened so let's just wait)
All in all it's really admirable they risked popularity of the series for a realistic storyline. Whew! This is the longest review i have ever wrote haha"

I think they tried to do something different form the beginning. Two muscular guys like Knock&Korn aren't really the typical main actors of BL series. Still to this day I wonder why they decided to pair those two up. Also, in every other season it was the same: they had problems, did fight, and solved them at the end. It was never lovey-dovey to begin with, never soft or cute. They also took a risk with the Farm/Bright relationship. I think many overlooked it in TWM, because Max&Tul were so hot ;) But Farm and Bright ... Jesus ... that's controversial.

Well, that said, about the cheating: I don't think Korn is doing it out of sexual frustration (if that's your point). Those previews are always somehow misleading. No idea what they will come up with. Can it be too much alcohol? Korn was never drunk before. He also doesn't seem to be interested in the boss to begin with. Even though he is angry and treats Knock badly at the moment, I'm sure he is not doubting his feelings for a second. So I really cannot wait to discover what will lead to that kiss ...

@Freya Harold: I don't think that the chemistry is gone, but I will admit I felt like that at the beginning too. It's just different. In BR the way they looked at each other ... for some reason it was pretty emotional. It seems many people saw the chemistry between those two, otherwise they wouldn't have gotten their own series in the first place. In TWM, well, we all know how hot Max&Tul were. In Next Chapter they are acting more like a couple that's together for a long time. I honestly like it a lot. I see the spark and everyone else would too if Knock would be a bit more responsive. Max is acting very cute in this season (the scene when they were talking at the phone, the scene in ep 6 when he was cuddling and kissing Tul on the cheek, the kiss on the shoulder in ep 5). I really enjoy those scenes A LOT. It's beautiful to see them being at ease, touching each other like real boyfriends. Yeah, there is no crazy kissing going on, but I prefer this over some long stares in each other's eyes and slow motion touching which at the end of the day is just awkward and nothing else. That's the reason why I enjoy this series. They kept it real from the beginning and their chemistry is still the best of all BL couples out there.
Because of the more dramatic storyline they cannot jump each other constantly, yes, but I also think, the writers should have given us more such scenes. I don't think they will break up in ep 7, maybe it will be in ep8 - and then? I'm extremely curious what will happen next. There is not much time left to make up. I don't care about a last minute happy end, but it would have been smarter to show us more romantic scenes between them - just to satisfy the fans. Even on YouTube now everyone starts whining ...

I'm on the edge of my seat ... Korn kissing someone else is HUUUUUGE! I'm pretty sure if Knock would cheat on him, most people would be like "Yeah, Knock is a jerk, poor Korn." But Korn? How will they be able to overcome this? Like ... seriously? I want to see that BADLY! There are some real problems and real issues to solve. Not like in TWM where we all knew that it was just a matter of time until Pleng's evil personality was discovered and they can live happily ever after.
Also Yihwa and Art ... both guys are gorgeous! Yihwa and Art are good together. He is such a funny, nice and caring guy. The chemistry is on point! But Cho ... such a good buddy. He doesn't deserve to lose her ... I'm really excited for what's to come. Nobody knows how this will going, that's what makes it so good.

This isn't bad AT ALL. Knock was always too dependable of others which explains why some crazy girl like Pleng could manipulate him so easily. Now he revealed he only works there because he wanted to follow Cho and Korn (especially Korn). That fits his character and is a problem they hopefully address and solve later on. So lets take a look at Knock's situation: He works at a place where he doesn't want to work, he has to hide his relationship like i't something to be ashamed of, he has to play the boyfriend of some stupid fangirl who constantly annoys him and seem to have an interest in him. And Korn? He doesn't care.
So what about Korn? He wants to make Knock's life as easy as possible (waking him up, preparing his clothes etc.) He is loving, flirting - but Knock doesn't respond.
Yes, it's all a communication issue. Many relationships are going downhill for far less. They both have to grow. But this is not done in one episode. All that problems were there before, they don't vanish miraculously. How they took the characters and brought out their strengths and weaknesses in this new season is pretty well done. It's like you really understand all their past struggles much better. But wait! - it's depressing and there is no lovey-dovey going on and - OH GOD! - maybe there will be cheating - so it's bad, of course.
