Shannigans

Watched this randomly because I recognize most of these guys as actors vs. idols, but really enjoyed it despite not being a wannable.

I'm still kind of confused though... Did they just get together to make this TV show and 1-2 songs for funsees, or are they officially reuniting as a k-pop group with a full-album, tour, etc. in the future?

Everyone complaining about the love triangle in the comments, and I'm just over here grossed out by the oozing abscess/ulcer foot. 🤢

I just enjoy his smile tbh 🤭.
That's why I was hesitant about starting blood river because it does seem like a more serious role.

Suggestions for someone who wants to watch another drama with him, after only seeing him in Word of Honor? Maybe another role where he is flirtatious/unserious like Wen Ke Xing?

Okay, so for me, the plot was not interesting at first, but the chemistry between MLs kept me going (or maybe it was just Gong Jun's smile, who knows 🙃). However, starting around EP 30, I was actually really getting into the plot outside of the couple... It made me want to raise my initial gut rating for sure!! And then... that ending... like wtf?? Even with the short epilogue, I have too many questions.

I'm now off to see if I can pick up the novel towards the end and feel a bit more satisfaction.

I can see why the untamed is the goat, but I did appreciate that this censored BL was a lot more outwardly gay.

I wa wondering this too, since they both have marks on their chest.

Well after EP 5, I clearly retract this statement. 🫢😂🥵

Okay after finishing EP 4, I really hope we get to see some better kisses between these two. I'd rather have no kisses then dead fish kisses tbh.

I think I've watched too many k-dramas at this point 🥲. I immediately clocked the radio DJ in episode 1 as one of two actresses (based on just her voice)-- came here and confirmed I was right.

Regardless, the title itself "absolute value" implies that the ending will not be negative. Even if they don't end up together (personally, I hope they don't), they will have gained something positive from the romantic escapades of the show. At least that is my interruption -- or they just named it that way because he is a math teacher and it's not that deep, who knows 🙃

Okay, so Mr. Yoon and Mr. Jung actually have a backstory that could make a BL ship sail. It probably won't happen, but I'll hold out delulu hope.

Holy run on sentence.

For some reason I thought this was the last week, maybe because I expect every show to only be 12 episodes now... Happy we still have 2 more weeks 🥹

The ending can be happy without a romantic relationship 🤦🏻‍♀️

Someone like me? I love being told who I am by an internet stranger, despite the fact that I don't even use Instagram or tiktok. Hope you have a nice day love... It seems like you need more positivity in your life to counterbalance whatever this reaction is...

... it was just edited out 😂

😂 I feel like this comment is just getting hate from weird fanatics because it actually gives a very detailed review of why the show was disappointing. I'm with @zamperx... Your comment was very helpful/informative and made me decide to not give this a watch right away, because given the marketing, I too was expecting at least some BL aspects, which it sounds like there are none.

100% her crush is normal. If he reciprocates, then it's an issue. It's not only age, but a power imbalance.

It's not clear yet. It just ends with ML saying (via math metaphor) that he wants to understand her, but then it freeze frames, which to me felt like they were implying romance between the two. Plus, the preview makes it clear FL at least is crushing on him (personally I think it's fine for a teenage girl to crush on an older adult, but I don't want him to reciprocate, because that would be predatory).

Still the funniest K-drama I've watched in a while. However, the weird romance vibes at the end of EP 8 gave me the ick. Still hoping it doesn't go down that route.
