Honestly I remember Lukmo because of the Lukmaew joke. I remember Phob because Phob (I'm not ridiculing his name but like come on). And I remember MaiEak because I thought it was a Thai food. Other than that I draw a blank. I also remember Both and Newyear because they're going with their real names, otherwise I wouldn't remember them either.

Yeah but like Harry Potter getting adapted into a drama–it would be a riot. I imagine the profits would be more than enough to hire the cast ten times over

Of course, don't give it up easily if the day arrives. The quotes made the article extra special :)

This was really pretty, i don't know about the actors but it would be fun if something like this actually came out >•<

@muimui94 already said it but let me chime in. The actors became famous only after the shows became famous. They rose to popularity because of it. Top shot actors don't participate in bromance projects which are adapted from bls since the CCP has been nefarious for banning actors for periods of time for being associated with such projects

That insta sharing really irked me

What IPYTM did in two hours 30 minutes: showing a wholesome relationship

In most series we'd be thankful if we managed to get an ending which was as touching as the ending scene of episode 2, what I am wondering now is how much more heartbreak they're going to deliver in the next 3 episodes

If there was sxt then the teacher student tag would be there :)
Also, Pi is gay. Like he has a rainbow themed phone cover and everything

If only the scriptwriters had showed that Pi was someone who had been bullied in the past then the audience would sympathize more with him. I personally love Pi as a character

I always watch these movies thinking that there will be additional scenes but nah, it's just the episodes clumped together. But I think that the original episodes had weird filters which were especially noticeable at the kiss scenes and these were removed in the movie

I need more omg, I watch lots of bl/gl romances from several countries but Korean dramas make me feel so fuzzy~~~

Read the novel:

Copy paste it into Google translator and there you go!

Do you need to watch Kinematics Theory before this?
No. I watched TAF before KT and I didn't even realize there was a sequel until I came to mdl. So no, you don't need to watch KT to understand this story.
In fact, watching KT was a shocker because the prequel and sequel are so different. KT was about them before they were in a full fledged relationship. It showed them in college navigating their feelings for each other. If you watch TAF you'll see clips of them as students which has a significantly more cute and light vibe and that's exactly what is delivered in KT

Regarding the ending, it was a happy ending. Both Nan and Zhe meet on a bridge and walk towards each other like they would on a marriage altar and smile at each other and call each other's names lovingly. It's pretty clearly a happy ending but an open one

The reason why this and shows like Honey Sir were not banned in China is because these are shows with a small target demographic. Whether or not lgbt content is allowed in China depends on the medium through which being offered and who's actually consuming it.
These are shows are lgbt shows, not bl or danmei directed at the larger fujoshi populace. These attract lesser attention and are independently created by small productions.

Some points I want to clear up

Yes they do have a happy ending. At the end of the story they're not shown married or on a relationship but the way they smile at each other makes it certain that they will get their happy ending

A pretty mediocre production, there were two moments I felt seriously hyped during episode 3:
First, when Phob sent that message to Eak accidentally
Second, when the the younger dude of the third couple (the engineering printing couple) said: Your lips are good at scolding, I'm wondering whether they are food at something else

I watched the 3rd episode on 2× speed and skipped thrice. Also, when I don't remember the names of the characters that speaks volumes about how I feel about the shoe because I normally remember names pretty well

It's winter so–i thought it was a cool change of clothing

In Hindi we have the same thing. There are pronouns but it's the verb form which determines whether the subject is male or female. Thanks for the reply though
