Episode 3:This show is a hoot.There's this dark sister/brother love triangle brewing underneath, but overhead,…
🥰 I agree... totally a 70s/80s vibe with the light-hearted parents, dog, older sister annoying younger brother... I'm enjoying it as a break from the darker ones I've watched lately.

It's not chinese, it's taiwanese... you know the first asian country to have same sex marriage and have adoption…
Yes.. excellent point
Also, I'm watching over a dozen Asian dramas right now (BL and others) so that's my excuse for the error 🤪
I'm trying to get in as much as I can before the semester starts 😂😂

🙏🏼You're right...my mistake...even more reason why this was really bad overall.
Mixing up Taiwanese v Chinese is something I really should have not missed. My students will give me heck since some of them are on here.
Thanks for the correction

It wasn't really all that sad but just a few tragedian that weren't acted well because I really didn't feel anything…
I agree with a character that has that as their back-story I could totally understand and be sympathetic.
However, for me, I didn't feel any of that from the actor.
I think there was potential for this to be portrayed in a better way, but the actor either didn't have enough experience to convey this, or the direction was not great.
However, since the director for this series has a great track record from their past BL works that have had tragic characters and storylines, I feel the series lacked conveying the different layers of emotions the ML1 needed to embody and convince me this was his journey.
Typically, I'm a complete crybaby with characters like this, but in this case, I just didn't feel it.
However, some have given this series better reviews, so it probably just didn't vibe with me for whatever reason.

I was wondering how I even found out about this drama lol. Then I remembered  the director, Chiang Ping Chen,…
ITA about "See Your Love"... not sure how or why this got produced.
As one comment stated, they thought it was a vehicle to promote the boy band since China is attempting to globally market boy bands.
I think this might be valid since everyone in the band struggled with acting but legit played instruments.
Maybe the director got roped in because of his name recognition?
Definitely not of the same caliber as SYL.
If they wanted to promote the band to BL audiences, which is understandable since we are a formidable group, there could have been better ways.
I wish the band luck but will definitely not recommend this nor rewatch.

I should have read the synopsis before watching this. I hate the sad ones. 😫
It wasn't really all that sad but just a few tragedian that weren't acted well because I really didn't feel anything except frustration.
Usually I am a crybaby when tragedy occurs in BLs, but in this one I did 🙄(eye rolls) more than anything.

Spoiler: It is an open ending. 2ML confesses, but the MC is still trying to get over the passing of ML, so nothing…
Definitely... I was hoping throughout that something would get better, but nope.
We suffered through so you don't have to 😂

Review Smile after Tears Spoiler
I completely agree!
This was a BL, but only because lead characters were guys...this could have been a sweet ML/FL teenage love story.
I kept getting angry at BF1 being a bit selfish. And what was with that scene where Plus One confessed he "fell for him" in the rain but BF1 said "I'll get back to with an answer" when we all know he likes Plus One. Seriously?
The basketball/child-hood friend got cheated on all levels. Granted, a lot is on him for not confessing, which I assume he was reluctant because he felt anything is better than nothing with Plus One.

Overall, very tepid series that could have been better, even for China.

The lack of kissing is odd and I feel the actors possibly didn't agree to it? IDK
This was not a standard BL, but with the barely lukewarm performances, I feel it's a stretch to call it a BL, and simply a teenage bromance (which for me, personally, is not the same).

I agree... this could have been a 12-episode... really would have liked a bit slower ending putting everything…
Really? 🤗
I guess I need to try and find the novel.🥰
Is it titled the same as the series?

IKR?!
I wanted to see Ju Taeson character stupidly puppy dog clingy to Chaeha... because I can totally see it from him in private when it's just the two of them. 🥰

If I'm going to be honest, the ending was a little rushed. I feel like they should've showed us how life was after…
I agree... this could have been a 12-episode... really would have liked a bit slower ending putting everything together. Also, would have liked a scene of them together in either of their abodes 'connecting' as lovers after their confessions to each other. I realize this is selfish and I'm not talking NC, but just something stupidly romantic.

Awesome review and I could not have said it better myself!
I agree...best Korean BL ever...so far. Let's hope this can set the bar that others hope to surpass. I would hope future K-BL directors to glean from this as to what is perfection in mature BL storytelling.
We need more mature KBLs... there's a place for the others as well, and I enjoy them, but being an older viewer I am hungry for more like TPP.
The chemistry between the actors is amazing. I realize that historically KBL and JBL production companies don't 'pair' up actors for repeat productions, but I would welcome another BL with these two actors. It wouldn't need to be a thriller, but could be another mature storyline. I think they have potential together or even apart...
This is definitely on my rewatch list.

First of, really love this series. But It got me wondering. Any ideas on what's going on and why we suddenly get…
I'm hoping it's the latter...that K BL is looking at all the popularity and revenue Th BL bringing in.
A lot of entertainment artists straddle Korea and Thailand for work in music and mainstream dramas...so hopefully we'll see BLs get better attention from Korea.

Cho Seung-woo brought me to this series and I stayed because of the entire cast and story!
I hope there's a season 2

I just finished it and am planning to rewatch it!

I hope there's a season 2, but not holding my breath. Netflix has tricked me with this in the past.

And Gu Cheon must have infinity blood! 😭

Title ChermChey
I just finished this and I love it! I will definitely rewatch in the future.
This series was mature and sweet. I liked that we saw a relationship between two people who are unique in their own way and found each other, as well as accepted each other for who they are.
It's unfortunate that many complain they were too freaky or there wasn't enough nc. Seriously?
I feel this is the point...this couple are seen as outliers and they're ok with that because they have each other.
As they often spoke at the end of each episode during their journal entries... they felt so lucky that their partner didn't berate them when they were being different or imperfect.
This series has become a favorite for me.
Eurng often comments how his relationships ended because his partners found him too fat or too weird.
Intha said he had difficulty with partners because of his religiosity and coarse language.
But they both accepted each other because of the love they shared and their being on the same wavelength.
Totally committed and done perfectly!
