That’s exactly what I mean. He was totally nonchalant about it. haha

Yeah, it's really kind of embarrassing how well they outperformed the others.

Agreed. They should definitely do more comedy because they're hilarious IRL. Their YT series EarthMix Space is evidence.

I don't think I've been this excited for a BL in a while.

I'm loving this series so much. I don't want it to end. I'm getting the same feelings I had during the Japanese one. Both series are unique my level of gushing at the sweetness of all the couples is the exact same. 😂

I really liked the ending of this one. All the warmest feelings in the world. ☺️

". the Queen and honglim had forceful sex, hd overwhelming lust which developed into love"
I fundamentally disagree with this notion as deeply you as you disagree with notion that whatever the King and Hong Lim had was love. Hong Lim was actively and (as far as we see until AFTER sex with the queen) willingly having sex with the king. They shot daggers at each other when they walked past each other in the palace.

The king was crazy. The Queen was an incredibly difficult situation. Hong Lim was also in a difficult situation, but not one that we can say was alleviated by being with the Queen. Being an attendant to the King in every capacity was essentially what the Queen was too. The differences are that Hong Lim was there first and that Hong Lim and the Queen had a deeper relationship that the King and Queen didn't.

"Those who loved BL thougth that this a BL story and so disappointed that it was not true love ( as "inlove") between the King and Honglim."
Interpreting characters in a movie is ok, but don't speak for people. BL's are fantasy. Many of them are toxic fantasies that don't have a happy ending. That you would think people who are actually interested in BLs would feel negatively about this movie because it ended badly for the two male leads is really weird.

"This movie reinforces the belief that it is harder to find true love in LBQTA community."
The LGB and A are sexual preferences. The Q and T are gender identities. This movie focuses on a romance and the complications thereof between two men and opens a window on what that *may* have looked like in 13th century Korea among royalty/aristocracy. If you're well read at all on this period or those before it in this region, you'd know sometimes it goes much better or much worse. Either way, it's not reinforcing any stereotypes, primarily because it isn't dealing with any modern stereotypes at all.

I don't even have time to hate on August. I'm too busy swimming in the Jimmy Sea of Love. 😇
((terrible joke, yes, I know))

I'm a long-time fan of TayNew and Cherry Magic is one my most favorite BLs of all time, so I'd be really surprised if I don't end up loving this.

To be honest, if this ends up being one of the "underrated" BLs, I'm gonna blame it on Vice Versa. That drama just doesn't showcase Jimmy and Sea's skills the way this one does. It's very possible a lot of people won't even give this one a chance just because they didn't like Jimmy and Sea in Vice Versa...

I second this! Despite 'twilight' being in the name, they're shining like the sun at high noon in that series.

Tell me about it. Sea's doing so well and he's not even making eye contact.

I feel like they must have had it in mind when making that scene.

Maybe it's because not enough time has passed since Only Friends, but every time I see Night look at Day, I simultaneously see both pity for his brother and a longing to meet with Boston.

Maybe somewhere in between? Song Weilong's character is a little too stiff for the first, so you don't really feel the passion of their relationship until later. However, the relationship between Jing Boran's character and Hong Yao's character is pretty intense and more like typical Chinese bromances like Word of Honor or The Untamed. The show overall isn't as good as either of those (imo), but it's still good and if you liked The Untamed, you'll like this too.

I forgot this BL even existed for about five weeks because I got distracted by Only Friends.

I really enjoyed this one. I was going to give it an 8.5, but I'm pushing it up to 10 because this show conquered two things we rarely see in dramas and those are having a peaceful breakup that allows both parties leave having learned something that can better their future and the peaceful end of a friendship. I can't stress enough how much I appreciated how Nick/Boston and Mew/Boston ended. Relationships can and will end, but they don't always have to go up in flames.

Also, the last 10 seconds of the last episode! 😍 PLEASE let there be a season 2.

This along with Addicted were my first BLs too. lol There's lots of red flags in this one, but it still has a lot of nostalgia for me. Though I'm not as bold as you are. I couldn't go back and rewatch it at this point. I think it'd be completely ruined. lmao

Thank you! 🥰

The original was hilarious. I’ve been following EarthMix for a while and I’ve never seen them act as silly as the the leads of the Japanese version do, so my guess is that while the Thai version may still be a comedy, it might lean a bit more into the romantic side of it than the Japanese one did. We’ll see.

I’d say watch the Thai one directly if you’re more into Thai BL, but if you’re open to it, the Japanese one is very good.
