WowThey all tie for first place in the worst category imo.Wooju Bakery was so sad because Jeff Satur deserves better. Echo's AI usage is driving me crazy.Sin & Love could have been better if a high school film club took over. Seeing shadows of the camera and boom people, along with background sounds from film personnel moving was irritating. It could have been interesting even on a low budget but it's like nobody cared.

You're right! And I'm ok with that! 🥰

Same! I was also laughing, giggling, and sighing over Jin's care for Podduang. OMG...And Namna is amazingly beautiful! I hope we'll see more dark-skinned BL leads

I agree!

Yeah! I noticed that too! Those dark walls are very memorable

That's what I was thinking too!

I enjoyed this as a binge. A tad low budget but everything clicked. Was it perfect? No. Was it a drama worth bingeing in a day, yeah. I liked that the leads were mature adults, not perfect, and realized the world is often ambiguous when it comes to moral issues.

I agree! It's beyond weird the wardrobe choices their giving Jam. The last few episodes were worse than the beginning of the series. Now that it's over I doubt I'll watch it again. However, I hope to see them in other things a bit more serious or with better story writing. AAAAANNNDD a better wardrobe budget.

Started watching this for the first time after I discovered Xu Kai from Spring of the Blade. It's cute so far and I agree with others, this is one of those series I will watch and rewatch when I'm wanting to switch off from reality.

For the criticism about it not being realistic regarding E-sports, 😆😆 this is fiction! If they were making it realistic then it wouldn't be a rom-com.

So far I'm enjoying the team work/chosen family theme that's underlying. I recognize a few of the supporting actors from other C-dramas, so that's been a plus as well.

It might depend on your stress threshold...angsty in the beginning, but I finished Ep. 4 and I'm feeling some stress.

It goes down some topics that are currently discussed in Korea today... school bullying, workplace bullying, suicide, financial issues young people are faced with if they have aging guardians, the systematic child abuse among middle and upper- middle class that's being addressed... finally, and the student/teacher dynamic to put on top.

The teacher is teaching a sociology class and I'm a Sociology professor with emphasis on Asian culture.
So while I'm vibing with some of this and applaud how the show's creators are showcasing these issues, it's also testing my threshold for stress and anxiety. However, again, everyone is different with these types of shows.
I would definitely say keep watching but walk away if you need to. Honestly, I can see myself putting new episodes on hold until I'm in the right frame of mind for it.

OMG!Literally laughed out loud at "What the F$&k" when P'Ing was scoping Yok's clothes. I actually rewinded it twice. Then when Pete was drooling over Yok... again, laughed out loud!
P'Ing was falling for Yok even deeper with each outfit change!

Thanks for the list!
I've watched about a third of these, this gives me more to look for.
Where your Eyes Linger is one of my cozies I have rewatched. I love the mom-cafe owner!
🙏🏼

The ritual of putting rice in the bowls is part of Theravada Buddhist weddings. The couple is merit making. After the ritual, the bowls will be filled with more food, usually vegetarian sides, and given to their local monks.

I agree, Nat's clothing is either way too big or childish looking in so many of the scenes.

Ok...the mom redeemed herself a bit.

This was a good JBL! I really like the messaging in the final scene when Sui says he's happy he can be himself and Harutora says that's how life should be for everyone.

This was well done, imo.
I definitely see myself watching it again when I'm wanting something cozy

I agree!I found the last few episodes very disappointing with the lack of FL/ML scenes. I also felt cinematography, costumes, makeup, OST, etc was well done. The acting was truly up there, in my opinion, but final episodes were a disappointment.I agree it was a worthy watch and I am glad I watched it. I had not seen this ML before, so I'm going to look for other things he's done. He does a great job conveying emotions and carrying a scene with facial expressions. The supporting cast were all fine actors as well; some of the older actors I have seen in older productions, so I enjoyed their performances.It's a 9/10 for me, even with the poorly executed ending.

Same... dropped it...very disappointed. Was looking forward to this all because of Alen. However, it's too annoying

Yes! I was thinking the same. Different vibe from HMH but still nice to look at

They're his wives/consorts and he married them so they could be respectable and pursue their interests. One of the women was pregnant so he married her so her son wouldn't be illegitimate.

Thanks for the recommendation!
I saw it has Liu Xue Li! I'll definitely check it out!

😂 I'm not skipping but I'm cursing him out 😂😂
