I'm going to be *that* homosexual and ask if there's any actual BL going on here?
Well, there's a definite gay element. Even though nothing has happened yet (sexually), there has been a fair amount of flirting and feel relatively sure that it will turn into BL fairly soon. I like it.
Second episode was also strong. I love Pluem - I remember thinking he had "it" in Dear Loser, but now he has a…
We are on the same page here. I can't understand why they have put Singto (Weir) in about as unflattering a haircut as possible. He can look hot with a different hairstyle, but this? VERY difficult to imagine this character -- with this look -- being the irresistible hottie he's supposed to be.
And, on the flipside, they are making Lee (Punn) out to be some creepy, old (!), unattractive weirdo... when he is super hot! Pluem (Krating) is just drool worthy no matter how you slice it.
But I am enjoying this and I like the mystery element.
If it isn't a bother to you, May i ask why you find bad buddy disappointing?
Sure, thanks for asking! I don't hate it, but I honestly feel that Ohm and Nanon are far too good of actors for that series. For me, I love a good comedy but the story is kind of silly with all the in-school fighting... it seems more like middle school than a university. Along with that, there are so many BL tropes that it feels like we're going backwards instead of forward. I'll continue to watch, because I do like the actors, and maybe I will like it better as it goes along.
At the end of the day, Bad Buddy is okay for me, but it's not something that I'm on pins and needles all week waiting for the next episode. (Just my opinion, of course!)
I think I kind of love this! It's a good contrast to Bad Buddy (which I find somewhat disappointing, too juvenile), this story is off to a great start. Here's hoping it continues!
This was cute and it wrapped up nicely enough. Disappointed they didn't go the poly route, but they did leave it a little bit open ended.
To be picky, I did feel that Mix (while very cute) seemed quite forced with his smiles... they came across as fake to me. But I give him credit for winning me over to his side as the series came to a conclusion. I thought Ryu was great, while Match came across as... well, kind of wimpy and naive. Other than wanting to be chosen to live there, I wasn't really sold on why either Mix or Ryu would fall for him so hard.
But kudos to the production team for keeping the gay feelings real on all sides and not introducing some toxic girlfriend into the series!
Let me say I completely love this show but I understand where you're coming from. The plot could definitely be…
I love that one, it's Chinese and from 2014. Very dramatic but also very funny. Addresses the issue with parents and family not accepting gay relationships.

4/10 for me.
Just came to the comment section to see what was up, and -- thank you -- your comments have confirmed that I made the right decision.
