What a gut punch of emotions. I feel that I am going to love this. And then it will break me. But hopefully fix me in the end. And the only thing left broken will be the curse of taekwondo. Let them be free!

This show is just strangely addicting. It can totally be seen as just yet another Thai BL in the college/uni setting. Which sounds typical, but it's somehow not just “that”. The chemistry is fire and the kisses should be considered far above par. There isn’t any singular thing that I can put my finger on as to why I believe this to be a good or worth-the-watch show, but it just is.

Nothing but a bummer. I can’t figure out what the ultimate take-away message of this whole thing was supposed to be.
I want to scream and cuss out the whole system, but it wouldn’t matter, cuz nobody’s listening. The story was fruitless. I’ve left feeling useless.

If they want me to demand a season 2 and the ultimate vindication that should be given, then I will gladly shake my fist in the air and yell at the top of my lungs for what is fair and right! But if this is another Jdrama doling out life lessons that are unjust and telling me to instead just suck it up, well shit. I was hoping for more.

I’m left feeling unfulfilled. This is a great show and I will forever recommend it, but the ending could’ve been better. I’m so done with ambiguous / make-you-figure-it-out type of endings. Is it too much to ask for how a story should end? I beg of show writers to stop leaving it to our imaginations. Just give an ending to your story, that’s why I’m watching it.
I just want a narrative that concludes with a meaning to my feelings, instead of a question mark with a “you decide” ending. That’s so 2000 and late.
Just tell your story and finish your story, don’t make me do it.

I can’t say what exactly it is that I like about this so much, but I’m hooked and on board for this ride. Let’s go.

Hi and hello! If I may, I’ve got a couple thoughts for you. The timeline is so screwed up, and I almost think that maybe it’s done intentionally? It’s possibly meant to keep us on our toes? We sort of know there is this mysterious past, but their past feels in about complete opposition to whatever it is that is happening in the present. It’s like the art of misdirection, but regardless of that, there is still a magnetic pull between the characters that we see draws them together. Their whole relationship seems both misdirected and miscommunicated, but they’ve got an appreciation for one another that possibly neither wants to extend into a romantic relationship because it would effect the bedrock of their foundation. Or that’s just the blind-sided romantic in me talking.

The timeline is messin’ with me, but other than that, I liked the first episode. The storyline, characters, and actors have me intrigued. I’m anticipating the next one. It’s off to a good start.

I don’t get it. What did the Director cut differently? I say this having rewatched the show version a couple of times. What were the differences? Still a worthwhile watch, but I don’t see why a “director’s cut” was necessary, could have just relabeled as the movie version.

I’m so in for this. Bring it.

Forever a favorite. The best of the best.

I just love seeing Jimin & Jungkook being themselves. No matter the amount of cameras pointed at them, the members of BTS always seem to show a bit of who they truly are, which is also true of seeing JK and Jimin on this show as well. Experiencing them through a travel vlog or anything else they’ve done in front of the filter of a camera and editing can never paint the true picture of the complexity of who they are as a person, but you get glimpses of their true selves, and that’s what I’ll forever love. These young men grew up in constant scrutiny in the public eye but yet somehow have a sense of self that is just like anyone else. I miss them. Can’t wait to see everyone together again. And back on point, this show is just a lot of fun to watch.

What. Is. Going. On?! You know what though, it doesn’t even matter. I’m tuned in and turned on and enjoying this ride where I never know what’s coming around the next curve. Bring it. Whatever comes next, I’m here for it.

and deserves a much higher rating.

Ever so randomly I often find myself just wanting to watch LTNS. The literal only fault I have with this show/movie is that it’s too short. But that’s probably a crappy thing to say, because what they had and what they did with it, it’s just phenomenal.
I like thinking about how this was made years before KinnPorshe, but as a part of the BL gangster-land dramas, it rivals for the best

Here’s the thing about TLDHLB, it delivered.
I ordered something delicious and fun, and it showed up right at my door.

After my second time watching, this is still a solid 8/10, I upped it to 8.5 just because it still brought them feels the second go around. Those times when Togawa literally made my chest tighten and I could feel his want and need. But this will always be my one and only fault with this show, the only kiss you get to see is forced, and after that, it’s only missed opportunities. Granted, they’re not going to go about kissing in public, and understandably so. But we never get to see that private moment of a shared kiss that feels fulfilling and equally reciprocated. I swear I’m not trying to make it about the kissing and nothing more, it was just a let down when I craved to see that shared connection between them.

This is an incredibly acted drama with a good story, I’m sure I’ll come back and watch yet again, but I’ll forever feel robbed of getting that little extra sweetness.

I really liked this weeks’s episode.

Love is better the second time around - which is also completely true of my second time around viewing this. As a binge watch it really packs a punch and leaves you fulfilled. I remember when watching while it was airing, and each week the episode felt like it held so much but also was never enough, but as a binge watch, this is chef’s kiss perfection. I’ve got nothing but love for this show and it stands at the upper echelons of Japanese yaoi, imo.

For real though!
