Hi guys, Still watching this one but it's not what I was hoping for (yet!) Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for series like this one, but where the leads/characters work together instead of fall apart? Even if they start out in conflict but end up working together, or have ups an downs, because they both believe in something big, like justice, or in each other? Examples that I think are more like this that i have enjoyed are good manager, devil judge, beyond evil, the guest etc. I would really love more like this if anyone has any recs <3
Enjoying this short series a lot so far. The skill behind and in front of the camera is very good.
Some of the writing is a bit heavy handed – it gave me a giggle when they were talking about fixing the rice cooker. Reminded me a lot of the 'real life vs move life' shorts on Instagram that I think are by some of the same people on this show.
While very stylised (in a good way), this series is much more 'realistic' than a lot of the studio produced series that are targeted toward a BL audience. I would say it leans towards queer film and tv rather than the BL genre, so I hope that people can attempt to meet it there and critique it from that angle.
As a brief snapshot into these people's lives, and the ways in which they intersect over a period of time, this show is very satisfying. Although, I don't know if there is enough time left to receive a really comprehensive picture of how all 3 couples have their stories known to each other. But sometimes really clear endings just aren't the point.
so okay in the special episode did anyone else have to stop and re-read what was written on the classroom board? briefly thought we were going to get a surprise horror short.
Okay first up thank you everyone who posted links in these comments you guys are doing the lords work fr, literal lifesavers. second up this show somehow managed to pull off satisfactory wrap-ups for everyone in one episode, which i am thankful for. i gotta admit i was doubtful after episode 15 for a minute. Could i have done with some more in depth exploration of how characters struggled to change over time? Uh, yes. but im glad they pulled it off, if only for my mental health. and i guess it fits in with the light atmosphere this show (generally) stuck with. Plus now they've got room for growth in our main characters in season 2 if, indeed, we get one and it explores ... what we all think it might. anyway, thanks to this comment section xxx love you
So, i have binged up to episode 15 and I am: 1. frustrated that a love triangle has lasted this long 2. convinced that the only way we get narrative satisfaction is through TK and SW ending up together - but mainly because this helps to bring SW's backstory full circle, and is the only way i can see his story having some kind of resolution 3. Hoping for some satisfactory wrap up to da on's character development over the series, which has been well done but really needs some time to sink in and there is only ONE EPISODE LEFT 4. At a loss when it come to TK, because boy, you seem to be getting lost in this love triangle and your honesty and forthrightness has been sacrificed on the altar of cliffhangers, to the gods of drawing this out to the point of breaking. 5. in love with the real mvp NAMGOONG. clearly he's been chatting to the teacher off screen all season about his love woes to get such great advice to pass on to everyone else. and yet, so good to everyone! so pure! a joy to watch! will care, will help, will not overly meddle. all knowing and the most beautiful.
literally going to watch the 20 hour countdown now for the last episode. god what if its a cliffhanger for season two- ill have to do this all over again.
