A lot of posters have complained about Toh's "stalker" personality. And sure, it's kind of creepy but, as a gay guy, I have to jump in and say that I myself WAS Toh for one year when I was in high school.
When I was 15, I had a major crush on a guy who was two years older. He was my Nuea and, at first, I worshipped him from afar. Pretty sure he wasn't gay -- and I was struggling to accept my own sexuality (while still being in the closet) -- but he was nice to me. So, without realizing what I was doing, I stalked him. I signed up for a class he was in. Then, when he dropped the class, I dropped it too. If he left a candy wrapper, I'd pick it up and save it. I would walk by his house and just stare at it. I did everything I could to be around him, I even befriended his younger brother so that I could be around him more.
Now, I look back on my behavior and cringe! But, while we never ended up in a physical relationship, he was always friendly with me, and that somehow satisfied my youthful lust for him. Fortunately, he graduated and went to college after that year, so I didn't embarrass myself any further. Never saw him again, which was for the best.
I'm not for one second condoning Toh's behavior, but I do empathize with it.
I've binge watched the first 5 episodes and I have to say I'm loving it! I could keep myself up for another three hours to watch more but I absolutely need to go to bed, so I'm forcing myself to stop for the time being, haha.
YALL ITS NOT THAT DEEP, JUST ENJOY THE DAMN SERIES.I've read some comments talking about fanservice and stuff…
We have to remember that MDL is a discussion board, NOT a fan page. If people truly hate the show (or any show) and feel the need to come here and vent about what they don't like, that's just as valid as those who come here to praise it.
There is no use in telling someone to stop watching... some people actually enjoy watching a series that they don't like which, in itself, can be a type of entertainment. (Let's see how bad it can get!) And I have certainly enjoyed BLs that others thought were total trash (and vice versa).
I enjoy reading both love and hate comments, because it opens up my perspective as to how people can feel so differently about the same thing.

Just binge watched this over a year after it aired. The only reason I started watching is because more than one poster on MDL referred to it as "the worst BL ever" so, of course, I had to watch at least one episode, lol.
I ended up liking it! It kept my attention, the story was unique and interesting, I had no problem with it. Lots of eye candy, acting was good enough for what it was.
Okay... as a gay man, I was very suspicious as to where this was going, but...
I do know what it feels like when the man of your dreams has sex with you, tells you he loves you, and.. you're still suspicious, is he really telling the truth?
Watched the first episode and liked it. I'll be honest, I've had a little problem with Joong, ever since he made homophobic comments while 2 Moons 2 was airing. But I'm going to try and get past that and just enjoy the series for what it is.
Kuea is such a whiny little baby I'm not sure what Lian sees in him. And the other couple has had too little screen for me to get invested in them.

Really looking forward to the rest of this!
Since there's only 3 episodes left I watch until the end. Hope it gets better.

I'm giving it 7.5.

I love Yi/Diao.
I couldn't care less about the third couple.
