There's a lot about this series that I really love. The writing for one has been really good, I'm impressed with where they're taking the storyline, and while yes, it is a drama so you do have to suspend disbelief at some points, there are a lot of real-world takeaways that keep blowing away my expectations. I hope they take this all the way through and really depict the three leads as a poly couple (or throuple as I like to call them lol), but even if they don't it was a good effort. Still in love with the dynamic of the three of them together, for me they balance each other out so it totally makes sense that they'd be in this together, relationship or not. Still think Miw is f'ing awesome and I love her. Not surprised to see her getting a bad rap since strong female characters tend to get the short end of the stick but she's a complete badass and I so love that they're showing a woman who is strong, capable, knows what she wants and is completely comfortable with who she is and her sexuality. She's not taking any BS from any man lol I think Neo is also pretty misunderstood but more than anything I think people checked out with the poly element. We'll have to see how this plays out, but so far one of my favorite series released this year.

Do we have to put labels on everything? Just saying...I don't know that just kind of bothers me. I think sexuality is way more fluid than people care to realize. You can be gay (primarily attracted to the same sex) or straight (primarily attracted to the opposite sex) and find that you have an emotional and physical connection to a person you may never have thought you could feel that way about. That doesn't necessarily change how you identify.

I agree. I think people more have a problem with the poly-amorous relationship, so they're projecting.

MingKit remain the superior couple. I'm glad I finally got some closure after waiting so long to see their storyline play out. There were things about the series I enjoyed and things I didn't enjoy but overall they did a good job! All I know is that after being introduced to Phoom, he better be getting his own series after this.

let's all pray this into reality

So so so good. If anyone can pull of being a throuple it's these three, I love all of their dynamic together lol Miw is a total badass, I love her. Neo is (not only hot, jesus) a solid guy, I think he'd be a good foundation for both Miw and Shin to lean on (when they need it, Miw can handle her shit lol). And Shin is such a sweetheart, he just wants someone to love and care about him. I can't wait until the next episode airs. The writing is fantastic, so much truth being told in this series. I really love how they're highlighting stories and realities that aren't always told. And can I also say how much I love Jennie's role, I wish we had been able to see more aspects of Mae's relationship to Phon but another strong character. The writers are really showing a variety of people from different backgrounds, and the lives they live, good and bad. GMMTV is killing it this year.

Does anyone know where to watch this with subs?

I think this is a little different though. A cast change isn't that big of a deal because nobody has ever seen this series, so no one is attached to an actor playing a specific character, which was the problem in 2Moons. It's hard to connect a character with a new actor, once it's already been developed by someone else. In this case, I think the concern is more that they're going to run out of funding before they get the project off the ground, this is I'm pretty sure the third or fourth time they've changed the cast so there's definitely some internal issues.

LazySubber said more than half of the book centers primarily around SunMork so I'm even more excited. Hopefully the series is reflective of that. Not that, of course, I mind PeteKao but I don't want them to mess with their relationship too much.

This was so great! Super heartwarming, but also hilarious. I loved all the characters, and was so impressed/happy with all the themes and issues that were brought up throughout the series. 100% would recommend, so worth watching.

This was lovely, I love Strongberry films.

According to a LazySubber trans, they just changed the cast AGAIN. So...apparently this is still in the works, which is a good thing since I'm intrigued by the story-line, on the other hand...who knows when this will release. At least we know they're still dedicated to try and make this series happen lol

Short, cute, very slice of life. I liked it, though if I'm being honest I was feeling Kiko and David a bit more haha

I'm excited to see SBFive in a series together again (KimCop, need I say more?), the trailer looked funny and well produced! I hope the storyline is great, and if they are going to portray BL that they do it justice.

It was confirmed in the interview with the director the series will debut on 33HD Channel and Mellow in October. (seems like a pretty quick turn-around which is interesting...)

My main concern in any portrayal of romantic relationships, is that the relationship between the two people meant to be in love, or be falling in love, feel NATURAL. There doesn't have to be kissing, bed scenes, etc. In 99% of relationships there is absolutely nothing natural about two people who supposedly love each other, not showing any affection toward each other at all. I'll use an example the director used in his interview...while Love Sick will always hold a special place in my heart, that was a massive problem in the second season and why so many people were turned off. I think the first season really beautifully portrayed a young couple falling in love, it was sweet, and there was nothing about it that was overtly in your face when it came to PDA or the like. I remember binge watching the entire first season because I liked it so much. And my favorite scene? The scene where they hold hands unbeknownst to the two girls with them in the store. There was something so poignant, heartfelt and intimate about that scene, and guess what? No kiss! Season two that feeling was lost, and what made it twice as awkward were the very obvious fake kisses. I'd rather there not be a kiss, then a fake or worse a kiss that looks uncomfortable or forced. When you have a couple that looks like they can't stand to kiss each other, it's the worst. There is absolutely nothing wrong in portraying BL couples just as normally as non-BL couples. If you can't get actors who can play the role, or the director doesn't want to portray that side of relationships, just don't make a series about romantic relationships, period. Sorry, that was my rant, but it's super frustrating. Real couples hold hands, hug, are affectionate with each other and yes, do kiss so I hope the director keeps that in mind. If directors think there is something wrong, or obscene, about showing a natural relationship between two male characters they shouldn't be filming a BL series sorry.

Great ending. I was so happy with this series! It was very well written, rich in emotion and didn't shy away from showing that people and relationships aren't perfect. In fact, they're often a complicated, convoluted mess. I was also glad, that while they showed unsavory character traits, I wouldn't necessarily say the characters were beyond redemption which is great. I'm so happy they showed the characters growing and working through the hangups that come from being young, dumb and in love haha. I think I related to Third's character the most, and I loved that he went from a character used to giving everything of himself with very little in return, to a character that could stand up for what he deserved. He was so fiesty! I also loved that he was so tough on Khai when it would have been much easier (and probably satisfactory to some viewers) to have him just give in.

I was really impressed with the acting this series; there were so many familiar faces but you can see how much they've rounded out their acting over the years. This drama could easily have been over-acted but the subtleties were so well portrayed there were multiple times I found myself in tears, or cracking up or feeling my gut churn in anger on behalf of a character. I think the dialogue between the characters was so important, particularly in these last episodes, so I'm glad I waited until they were subbed before watching (I often spoil myself by watching without subs first haha). All around great series, one of the top this year for me right now.

Personally I felt like there was a good mix of realism vs contrived drama which was surprising to me since most "dramas" are usually chock full of unrealistic scenarios, especially in BL. Maybe because I've lived through a similar relationship, and been a "Third." Some people might find a character like that unbelievable but there are people out who are very much a Third and very much a Khai. I don't know, the characters felt very human to me, and I appreciated the flaws. I was fully engaged and entertained, there was humor without heavy cringe (looking at you Best Twins), I was moved emotionally and I could relate to a lot of the situations and emotions portrayed; but there were also moments where I wanted to tear my hair out and scream at the characters, which is I think pretty typical in an angsty series (if anyone has ever seen a Korean drama you'll know exactly what I mean haha). I don't think everything was meant to be completely believable, it is a piece of romantic fiction after all. But I think they did an excellent job at riding that fine line. Definitely one of the better series released this year I would think. Though for sure people's tastes vary, not everyone is going to like or agree on things and that's ok :)

I agree, I've always liked their dynamic together, even as friends. The variety show they have together is hilarious.

Yeah, definitely. Our Skyy was cute, but I was left feeling a little unsatisfied. Though I have to admit that both of them playing each other was pretty priceless lol they did a really good job with that.

lol I knew it. I can't believe it took me this long to get it too haha
