I wish they had gone deeper with some parts. Like the fact that he was given HIV and it doesn't seem like he went to some LGBT clinic where maybe they would have some counselor/someone to talk to. Join a support group. Instead, he basically I assume became undetectable by taking his medicine and never disclosed his status except to GH. Mi Ae seemed to not be so close to him. Like she wasn't part of his big life events after she got married. Like I assume they communicated but it wasn't ever fully shown. We didn't get internal monologues of other characters or even more of their stories just bits. But it's the writing in some points but also the fact that we have 8 episodes. I think if they did 16, they would have dragged some things longer unless the writer(s) could flesh out characters better, give us additional story and give us an end instead of an open ending.

He seemed like the closeted type that only does "discreet" and on the DL relationships. But seemed like he didn't see it as a relationship and would be the type to say "it is what it is" and basically be unlabeled/undefined. Like neither were like this is what I'm looking for. They were going with the flow until Go Young was like aren't we dating but it's more a non-boyfriend boyfriend. Do all the things couples do but aren't a couple type situation. I assume he didn't tell him that he was Hiv + because I don't think he would have reacted kindly.

They are "conversion camps/conversion therapy". I've only heard of overly religious/ Evangelical/Mormon Christians. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_therapy
There's also documentaries about the horrors.

I wonder if it's intact from the original 4 episodes or if they edited things down.

Hopefully Viki can pick it up after airing. Maybe Netflix?

Maybe that depicted real life? Maybe we can hope the characters story continued and it happened later on? That's my hope at least. I've known people who reunited 1 to 8 years later and things worked out. Sometimes you meet the right one at the wrong time and later you may meet again when its the right time. We can be realistic yet optimistic. Although an extra scene to give hope, would have been nice.

Kocowa has it with Eng Subs right now.

Can this series go into more unhinged comedy because I rather them focus on that than romance or drama. At times, I felt like I can turn off my brain.

He's in what feels like an 18+ BL movie called "Double Exposure" (이중노출 ) it's still not listed in MDL but machine translated subs are out.

Why was I shipping ShuMo and Yue Quin? 😆😆😆

Why is Miss Girl Luo Mei wearing Douyin/Xiaohongshu makeup? While everyone else has a similar style LOL She takes me out of the drama every time I see her makeup

When I saw the anime trailer before the live action, I dreamcast Ranmaru as someone tall and much more muscular. Someone like Furukawa Yuuta, Machida Keita, Fukushi Sota, or even Yokohama Ryusei. This seems like a fun ride though.

They keep focusing on Audrey and FL's potato dad and the mean girl adjummas antics LOL why is Audrey giving amnesia, plastic surgery, and is secretly ML's mom vibes!? What was up with the low budget club throwaway golddigger?

I wonder if Alen was filming other dramas during the second half. I've only seen them reduce main main screen time when second or third leads/ support are nepo/have connections/big investors or the main mains were filming one or two other dramas or movies.

The Double was so popular that it ended up doing that epilogue that was filmed way after the series was filmed and edited and it was airing. Then they quickly edited that epilogue and was ready to stream when the series was ending. Not sure how production and Youku got around the censor board to do that.

Surprised this drama didn't take to the last episode for ML

Her hair is miles better than Matsumoto Marika's unblended extensions and then uneven hair style for most of the drama "Until I Destroy My Husband's Family" (Otto no Katei wo Kowasu made).

to meet FL's sister or know of her even though they work at the same company (other family dramas have taken forever to reach that point LOL)

English subs are up on KOCOWA.
