This show seems to have struck a lot of us the same way, in so far as we wanted to like it more because it had potential, but we were let down by the ending with Ji Woo's confession to A-Ro coming out of nowhere. If it only had one more episode it could have filled that gap between Ji Woo liking the girl to realizing, no, he actually has feelings for the guy. It is already a short show that had given us a lot of big feelings in a condensed way, so just one more condensed 20 minute episode would've filled that gap nicely.
I wonder why they felt compelled to have it be only 6 episodes. Is it that much more expensive to have another episode? Frankly, it felt as if they did have another episode between 5 and 6 because the actors were reciting lines as if they were continuing them from another episode that we, the audience, simply never got to see. Indeed, when I pretend that there was another episode in there, I find that suddenly the show works.
he also doesn’t literally say “you have no friends”, he says “you’re a loner”. This distinction may…
Yes, 'loner" makes much more sense. See, this goes to show how vital proper subtitles are for understanding a show. The subtitles on the version I had seen definitely had A-Ro say he "had no friends," and it was odd. So thx for clarification.
Also, maybe it's just me, but it felt like the online post about them eating and the reaction from the *entire*…
Do you live in a Muslim country? I know being gay is tantamount to a death sentence in Islamic countries like Iran or Afghanistan. South Korea is not as bad as that, but when it comes to gay rights they lag far behind America and Europe

The K-BL series make it seem like it's easy to be gay (eg, Semantic Error), but if you watch feature films set in Korea, such as "Night Flight," and "Eclipse," you'll see that homophobia is still rampant and that young people are terrified of being exposed. The K-BL series, however, are made for a more tolerant audience of Western viewers and, of course, for BL fans, so they portray homosexuality the way their target audience wants to see it, rather than what it's really like.
In episode one, Ji Woo thanks A Ro for a fun day and adds that he's never done things like this with a friend before because he has no friends. I didn't get it when he said this in episode one, and now I have watched 5 episodes and still do not get it. He's a handsome, pleasant kid, so why would a character like this have no friends? Is this based on a manhua and if so, does that explain what the deal is with his having no friends???
There's a scene at the end of episode 5 wherein Ro A is talking to Yu Na, and she suddenly gets a text. Ro A grabs her phone to read the text, which said, "I only wanted to scare him. Did I do alright?" As soon as Ro A reads that text, he exclaims, "That bastard" and runs off. So, here's the question: Who the hell sent that text?
lmao i completely agree ik a lot of people are used to thai bls w bigger budgets/quicker paced plots but this…
I agree that 2 more episodes of 20 min each does not seem like enough time to resolve all the plot points this show raised. However, "My Beautiful Man" also had only 6 episodes of 20 min each, and that show pulled it off beautifully. I am hoping we'll get the same result with the final 2 episodes of "Love Class."
I thought of History Trapped as soon as I saw 2 guys lost in the woods because they had just escaped kidnappers . Moreover, the characters in both shows started off as enemies. And in both shows the 2 guys bonded while lost in the woods. Such similarities are so striking that I am wondering which came first -- the novel "KinnPorsche" or the screenplay for History Trapped?
I finally saw ep 5, which I think of as "The Aftermath." So, ok, I do not want to see people go to prison when they have sex with someone who's under the influence of drugs or booze. But even if there are no legal consequences to exploiting somebody's inebriated state for sex, there must be moral consequences.
At first, I thought the show was doing a good job with this because it depicted Kinn as racked with guilt and squirming in his own skin (because, hey, the memory of what he'd done SHOULD make a man squirm). Alas, the show only depicted Kinn squirming for a couple of days, and then -- poof! -- he and Porsche are tossed into a situation so severe that it very tidily relegates Kinn's sexual behavior to the sidelines. Sorry, but I want to see that guy squirm a bit longer.
So, do we ever get to know why, exactly, those 2 kids were running around the restaurant without adult supervision? Or how, exactly, the kids found the chef's living quarters ups?
They've just... Completely lost focus.Like at this point what is the storyline? Stuff seems to simply happen for…
The show is in desperate need of film editor because it lacks cohesion and, as you say, "lost its focus." I agree with you on all points. However, I'm confused by your last sentence -- what do you mean by "robbed us of emotional getting together"?
Do you mean that kiss at the end of episode 5? I am watching it on my phone and cannot even tell if the kiss actually happened, or if it's his fantasy.
Am I the only one who thinks Big is cute? I realize he does not have the male model handsomeness of the other guys in the cast (Apo actually was a model). And he probably couldn't strike a pose like Zoolander's "Blue Steel." But, dang, I am just drawn to his face nonetheless. He has such a unique, interesting look.
Wow. There's a lot of generalizations and assumptions here. Did you conduct a consensus on the percentage of number…
Tim, I commend you on your restraint in not schooling these girls who've accused you of homophobia when, in fact, you've been an out-and-proud gay man for years, if not decades.

QUESTION :
There's a scene at the end of episode 5 wherein Ro A is talking to Yu Na, and she suddenly gets a text. Ro A grabs her phone to read the text, which said, "I only wanted to scare him.

But it's a testament to the actors and the director that those 4 brief episodes had me dying to know what's coming next.
