No pachinko s3??! 🥺
I just assumed it would happen... I guess I have to finish the book now 😓

I love how the popularity polls and news have no source... even the kbizoom article, which I guess this article is citing, doesn't indicate where it's getting the popularity stats from . What is this? 😂

It's actually quite clever. Each house is based on one of the four guardian deities from Korean mythology, which are often associated with the 4 cardinal directions, 4 seasons, and 4 of the Obangsaek colors.
BWS's character is in the blue Azure Dragon house (Cheongryong), which represents East/Spring, as well as power, strength, and benevolence.
IU's character is in the red Vermilion Bird house (Jujak), which represents South/Summer, as well as prosperity, enlightenment, and passion.
Also, I have no idea why I am writing out an explanation in this comment section, knowing it will get buried, but 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

😂 loving the hogwarts style houses of this school.

Woke up, thinking I could enjoy my breakfast over EP. 2, but it isn't available yet 😭. MDL's calendar lied to me.

Yep. They are all represented by nnekorea.

Comments further down go into it. I don't think an official reason was released, but people speculate it had to do with him being set to star in a BL (Sammy's Children's Day), or that he had some paparazzi pics come out where he was kind of being hugged/held by another male actor at a private residence. Either way, the powers that be are not very cool for replacing him...

Oof.. this whole time I've been wondering why they did the AI face swap in Pursuit of Jade. I know the actor from The Untamed is teeny tiny, so I thought maybe they used another actor for the boys to make him taller... but I just found out the truth on r/boyslove of all places. China, stop being so homophobic 😭

I'm so glad they didn't romanticize that "you are mine" line. Rarely, for example in toxic BLs, it works. Here, it sadly didn't Xie Zheng... You deserved that slap boy.

Haha this was very informative. My main exposure so far (apart from ABO) has been lots of manwhas. Somehow, I haven't run into a d*ick falling off yet-- looking forward to that day 😂

To compete with the "Northwest Pig Butcher Squad", he is going to have a tough job coming up with a good improv troupe name.

Bruh, I never thought I would catch up to a Cdrama while it was still airing... But let me tell you, one 45m ep/day is not enough for me.

Also, that bait at the end of today's ep, only for xie zheng to literally become a playwright instead of revealing his identity... It was *chefs kiss*, but also "wtf man" 😂

Boyfriend on Demand reminded me that he has yet to be a ML in a romance drama 😢

Link to the kiss, for those in need of some relief while waiting:

The new donghua shows their underwater kiss (albeit-- still censored), so why can't this show be edited and pass censorship??
Darn you China.

I'm only on episode 1 of part 2, and idk why, but this blind chick just gives off stalker vibes. My theory was maybe she was a classmate who had a crush on ML, so she got plastic surgery to look like FL, plus the tattoo/similar food tastes, etc.-- we never got confirmation on who sent the photo of them 'dating' on the roof, so I thought maybe that was her.... Plus, her being blind is not very convincing. Why the hell would a blind person's first question to a stranger on the street be "hey were you that guy from that one time?" after hearing him say 2 words.

But then... I slightly spoiled things by reading comments here, so I know that's not who she is.

Maybe I'm just being protective because ML is finally doing okay at the start of p2, and I just want to save him and give him love before he dates this blind girl and inevitably murders everyone. 💔😭

Update & Spoiler:
Apparently NOBODY died in part 1?!
Welp, guess I have to binge part 2 now...

Bro... I'm at the end of ep9, and I'm almost to the point of throwing something at my tv.

Tbh, I'd be okay with everyone (kids, police officer, parents, etc.) being offed at this point. I don't blame Jen Yao at all for crashing out.

Only at ep5...
But sometimes I get pulled out of the realism of a drama when pretty privilege isn't acknowledged. Like how is the dorky, pudgy kid part of the popular boy group, while the hottest guy in school is the outcast??
Does anyone else think this way?

His tan, freckles, and bushy eyebrows are everything. 😍
