Thanks for your interesting viewpoints!I think Taekyung shows signs of autism, the way he responds to others.…
I'm thinking the writers/producers probably based the Taekyung character on an autistic person, without coming out and making it part of the storyline. They may not have wanted to cross that line, for fear of offending people with autism (as there are different types of autistic people)... I don't know.
I think Taekyung shows signs of autism, the way he responds to others. I also think he is cute and kind of charming and, at least for me, I find his candor refreshing. Taekyung says exactly what's on his mind, no secrets or playing games. So I can understand how that would attract someone.
Thank you so much. I really did not like this. It had taken me over two months to finish it, having repeatedly…
Thank you for your comments! I guess we're in the minority, as many viewers claim to have loved this series. For me, it was frustrating to watch and a big disappointment.
It ended well for me. I didn't feel much chemistry between them. Reb seems to need someone more dominant and fun, while JM just needs... I don't know, maybe a girl.
Don't understand why you think JM decide to try boy after his break-up. It seems more logical he was bi all along…
Thanks for your comment! For me, if JM was bi all along, I think it would have been great for that to be explored as part of the story. Bisexuals stories rarely get told in BL... it's usually "I'm actually straight, but I'm just gay for you," which is so unrealistic.
Aaliyah told JM she was breaking up because he didn't pay enough attention to her. I think it would have been interesting to know more about that.
This series has a very "Quarantines" vibe to it, although I like the actors/characters better than in the former series.
Ep 7 was pretty good: I found myself taking JM's side over Reb's. Reb really had no right to go through JM's private belongings, especially when the box was clearly marked not to open. Even understanding that Reb is in love and feeling confused, that was just wrong of him and JM had every reason to be pissed.
The kiss was, honestly, stupid. "I hate you." "Fuck you." Then a spontaneous kiss. That can be effective with more mature characters, but these two barely know one another and the "angry sex" trope just didn't work, IMO. (I know, they didn't have sex, but you know what I mean.)
I was hoping that JM's separation with Aaliyah was because JM was gay and she realized it. But, from what they're giving us, we're supposed to believe that JM had this hot, hetero relationship with her and, once she broke up with him, JM decided to "try" guys. Whatever. With just one episode left, I'd venture to guess that the two guys will settle their differences and head into a relationship. Or maybe not. Either way, I doubt that we're going to get any answers that make any real sense. Reb is a naive, romantic virgin with fairy tale feelings. JM is a much more complex character that could have (should have) been explored with more depth.
I think we can guess that she will end up with Shi Woon but, honestly, I wish she would end up with nobody. That beyotch is toxic and doesn't deserve to be in any relationship until she goes through some major therapy sessions.
Seriously, you just had to go there?? Sky: "Toktaeng and I are just friends, but we might become something more."
After he has shown absolutely zero interest in her? Yeah yeah, I get it... Sky is questioning his feelings for Sun and so he has to act straight. That's the kind of thing that happens to a gay kid when he's 14, not so much as an adult.
If this series goes the route of "I'm actually straight, I'm just gay for you," I swear imma cut a bitch.
yeah i was wondering the same thing :( the trailer looks promising so i hope its not as messy as ttts tbh
Yes, I swore off any series based on a MAME novel after TT S1. There's just something creepy about her writing... she objectifies gay sex and seems to get off on young guys being raped, as if she gets sexually aroused from it. No more MAME for me.
Okay... does anyone really care what happens with these two? Because there's no actual story.
I'll say this: I think that people have been unnecessarily mean towards Nut. He's not drop dead gorgeous, but he's perfectly decent looking. Posters have been acting like he's 50 or something. I'm guessing he's around 30, and he's a nice enough looking 30 year old. Satha, on the other hand, is a fairly average looking college aged guy. He's not the "hot" guy the series is trying to make him out to be.
I have no problem with the age difference. It's the story that's lacking.
Yes, I will watch until the end, as I'm curious how they will wrap this up. Doubtful that I will ever rewatch.

I guess we'll see what happens in the finale!
And what's with the weird "old-fashioned" teacher? When she walks her her steps are so tiny she looks like she has to pee or something.

Disappointing, overall.
