I agree with what you are saying, but I do not think Earth is a very good actor. He was okay in Until We Meet Again, but in all other series he not a good enough actor to make me believe anyone would love the character he plays because he is always so whiny and his facial expressions are super annoying. Maybe if he actually got to play a grown-ass man his acting would improve, but for now I am not a fan. From here on out, I will fast forward all his scenes.

Also we can start a drinking game every time he introduces himself as Easter, but I go by Ter. He even does that after someone already introduced him as Ter. Ugh, sooooo annoying!!!

Pond is not enough to keep this series afloat. Earth is totally miscast as a male lead for Pond, there is zero chemistry and their flashback story could of been told in one episode and not dragged out for the last 4. Earth is too old to be playing the innocent high school/college guy and his facial expressions are super annoying. I will give it one more episode and hopefully they will start incorporating other couples, because the Earth/Pond ship is not working (in my opinion).

I am enjoying this series for what it is and I am disregarding the plot holes and the fight scenes that should put someone in the hospital for more than a few hours. I swear I want the name of that miracle cream they are putting on those bruises and broken bones so I can invest in that stock, but all kidding aside, I actually like this series a lot. It's different and the acting (Ohm never disappoints) is good, as is the chemistry between the leads.

I try not to say anything too mean about an actor, but what happened to Earth's cute face? He looks like he had work done, where no work was needed and it is distracting to look at him now, like his lips are weird and the area around his eyes looks droopy. I cannot put my finger on it, but something looks very off on his face and it is hard to pay attention to what his character is saying (or rather whining about) because of it. I am not enjoying the show when the camera is centered on him. Let's move on to other couples because Pond deserves a better pairing than with Earth. I also really like Samantha, but her character is even more over the top than usual. This show is getting worse and worse with each episode. The sound effects and music is much too exaggerated as well.

I really liked this series, but the character of Mew was miscast and honestly, I could not figure out why Top or Ray liked him. The character was judgmental, frigid, smug and hypocritical. I could not feel any chemistry between Force and Book or between Book and Khaotung . I am unsure why Book became a leading man, his acting is not very good and he does not give off any sexual vibes at all. The rest of the cast was great as were the story lines and the music was awesome!

I just finished re-watching this show and it is really good from start to finish even the second time around. It is different from all the BL's out there. I might some day read the book that this is based off of, but for me, this series stands on its own. and maybe by not reading the book, I enjoyed it for what it was. I gave it 10/10.

There are moments I really like in this series, but there are also moments that I find super boring especially watching someone get beat up over and over again and not wind up in the hospital, but here let me dab a little ointment on your wounds and you will heal by the next day. That ointment is gold! hahaha Also, even though Tattoo is an assh*le I am curious if the Aran/Tattoo story line will develop more because I am feeling a little something-something between them. It's episode 5 lets get the couple story lines moving along already.

This show exceeded all my expectations. I LOVED it!!!

The first episode was not very good and Earth is not great or convincing as the main lead in this series. Pond on the other hand is worth watching and giving this show another chance, but I am just not sure Pond alone can save this series from all the whiny characters and those annoying sound effects and bad background music.

I have been watching the whole series on Gagaoolala.

I agree with miri kai and you should watch Make Our Days Count, but only up until episode 9 and live in happy denial bliss!!! The series is really good!!

I liked this series a lot and I am glad for the ending. I know it was a bit of a cop out, but for me I will take a happy ending over a depressing, heartbreaking ending any day.I do not watch series/movies to be heartbroken/depressed nor am I the person who has to re-watch a sad scene because I just did not get depressed enough or cried enough, I get enough of that in real life. I say bring on the happy endings, I will take them every time!!!

I am sorry about your friend and for you not knowing what happened to her must still haunt you from time to time. This series is very good and the acting is of a high caliber. Like you I do not see a happy ending. Like in "Make Our Days Count" the title pretty much said it all. I fear the title in this one "Happy of the End" might mean that someone does die and they are finally at peace and happy. I am hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. Thanks for your comment, it touched my heart.

I am watching it on Gagaoolala

Truthfully, I was hoping for a better partner than Earth (I do not find him lead man material) for Pond. I am with you on not expecting much from this BL. It looks like the same old, same old college plot of one sided love meets years later in college and the other couple "Is there another way I can pay this debt?" Looks straight out of We Are. Like you, I will watch this, but it will most likely play in the background while I do other things. I have very low expectations on this series.

What makes this series work, is that in so many countries all over the world, there are people living on the fringe who are like the characters in this show and that is both (as in the character of Maya) horrifying and (as in the characters of Keito and Chihiro) heartbreaking at the same time. I am absolutely amazed that Keito / Haoran and Chihiro are still alive. I also cringe in horror when I see those girls in Maya's place and think of the horrors they have had to endure (the suit case scene was super disturbing) and will anyone come rescue them. This show is raw in its depiction of life on the street for the most vulnerable and those who take advantage of them. We all would like to think "Oh, I would have run away" or "I would have just got a job" or, or, or......but in reality, until we are in a situation like either of the main characters, it is hard to say what we would do to survive. I am impressed with both characters that they made it this far, they are survivors and hopefully find some peace and contentment in the end.

I agree with a lot of the comments that say the concept was good, but the execution fell short. I think the reason is this series tries to be film noir in the style it was filmed in, but there was no true anti-hero to make it work. There was, to me, a lack of chemistry with the lead actors as well and a bit of a cop out in regards to the ending. The series started off really well, but went downhill in the last few episodes. Two more things, the character of Tonkla should have been listed as a main character and not a support role and I hope to see Bas and Fuaiz in another series together. 7/10 from me.

I agree with you 100%

I agree with everything you just wrote.
