Wow you expressed pretty much everything I wanted to say concerning this drama. This felt like the most Shojo-ish BL ever. Nothing‘s wrong with that per say but TK felt like a placeholder for the audience. I didn’t completely understand why Da On as well as Shin Woo fell for him. And it bothered me so much that, yeah especially TK, literally looked like a painted porcelain doll 99% of the time. I almost had a feeling of Uncanny Valley while watching him trying to emote.
i too was like 'huh?' b/c his character was the king of mixed signals, it really seemed like the writer couldnt…
Well, I hope there’s a season 2. The ending felt like they showed the audience the middle finger. They sprinkled throughout the drama all these little clues as to who likes whom but then decided to make the audience imagine the rest lol

I swear! Lol His end goal, based on the ending scene, seemed to be Ball. But wth was everything else then? I haven’t read the novel so I don’t know Keam’s original storyline but his indecisiveness in the drama seems to be consciously written that way and that makes me super confused. To top it all off the drama never even touched upon his problems in any way
yea and he kind of just did it for his own sake, to feel less guilty...
Yeah and that’s the cherry on top. If he wanted to apologize he could’ve done it without being overly ambiguous lol Just apologize and be transparent. Why did he make it seem like he’s flirting with both of them? Weirdest writing decision if I’ve ever seen one.
That depends on what your expectations are tbh. It has its problems, especially the script. It isn’t good. Some…
Well, I very much like WBL as well as Cherry Magic and I get the high ratings (I myself rated these shows pretty high) but I totally get that everybody has their own preferences
That depends on what your expectations are tbh. It has its problems, especially the script. It isn’t good. Some…
Yeah it’s easy to binge, that’s what I did lol.
I loved WBL but mainly bc of the actors and how natural they seemed in their roles. The story itself was pretty basic, I agree. I feel like if WBL had less capable actors it wouldn’t be nearly as popular.
I want to watch it, it this worth? Like i dont watch any bl chinese drama expect we Best love
That depends on what your expectations are tbh. It has its problems, especially the script. It isn’t good. Some scenes were a little cringy as well but the series does certainly have some enjoyable moments too and I personally really liked Hank. It surely isn’t on the same level as WBL but you can give it a try? It’s not that long anyway...
Ok i liked this quite a bit and for once it was not a typical villain who meddled instead was the demons n possessiveness…
I totally agree with you on Keam! What the hell was going on? It was never explained either. Some times he would be super nice and forthcoming and other times he would be super sulky. His love problems received barely any screen time and it seemed like he had the most serious problems out of them all lol He really seemed to struggle a lot. I don’t even know WHAT his exact problems were? I love Keam. He’s my favorite character but the script did him kinda dirty lol At the end it looked like Ball was his end goal but didn’t Keam have a girlfriend already ?! What happened o_O
Boringly average and averagely boring. The only reason I finished it, is Keam. He was Jin’s only decent friend and most importantly the best actor in the series (maybe with the exception of Kaownah who barely got any screentime anyway). But Keams storyline was a hot mess. What even was going on there? He had a steady girlfriend while seemingly pining for Jin and simultaneously making googly eyes at Ball. And just generally giving mixed signals to low key all the boys lol. Not sure what to think of this so I’m just gonna hope for a second season. Everything else was pretty strange too. Bomb was very frustrating in his behavior towards Jin, he came off as arrogant and unrespectful of Jins boundaries. Them getting together didn’t make the least bit of sense. Why and when did Jin start having feelings for Bmob? Another problem was the so called group of ‘friends’. They would’ve been good friends if it wasn’t for their weird and nonsensical plan to get Bomb and Jin together. They kept secretly meddling,meddling,meddling until they made their relationship worse by lying, manipulating and drugging their friends. What the hell. U at least seemed like the only friend with some conscience but it didn’t really help the situation either. All in all kind of a mess. It felt like a bit less boring version of Oxygen, not that the story was similar but more like it had a similar vibe and pacing and directing. Probably bc it’s the same director.
The return of the meddlesome ex was completely unnecessary. Shi Lei and Yu Zhen would’ve gotten together eventually, they were well on their way there. The ex only managed set them back, for no reason too. Even weirder as he supposedly only wanted to help. ‘Help’ lol Dude only managed to make everything worse
Miko just signed the contract in a livestream at youtube, he will also be co-producing the series. Aki wasn't…
I haven’t seen LBC tbh. After the whole SaintPerth management-fiasco I put it on the back burner and after reading the reviews on LBC2 I decided that probably won’t watch the whole thing at all. They seemed to have butchered the story anyway..
Apart from the non-existent budget, bad camera work, atrocious editing and unintelligible subs the story actually had potential. It could’ve benefited from better, tighter and smoother storytelling but all the milestones were there. It had some interesting concepts like the homophobic director wanting to disband a queer valley ball team and then there was a ghost story (technically two) and stories of different couples getting together. If only the makers could’ve turned all of it into a storyline that coherently connected all these milestones, with preferably one main conflict and a couple of less intense side conflicts. For example we never got closure for Andas story even though the series loved to pretend that we did lol Anda was clearly murdered and nobody even cared to inform the police? Why was she murdered even? Who murdered her? How is this connected to any other conflicts in the story? I also wish all the couples had more depth to them and a more coherent relationship development, especially Mai and Wan. It also didn’t make sense for the director to suddenly do a 180, I get that it happened bc of her son but still it was way to quick. I hope the second season’ll be better.
I’ve heard that a couple of LBC actors, Mean being one of them, heavily bullied Earth for being gay. After it…
Thank you. It’s not always easy to be civil on the internet so thank you for your understanding. As mentioned before I kinda lost my head too haha. I’m glad we got this misunderstanding sorted. And I agree that some of the most interesting comments can be the ones we don’t necessarily agree with. I myself do enjoy some nice comment debates.
Same here lol I don’t even have FB. More like only IG and latety I haven’t been active on there either. I completely understand where you’re coming from and I agree (for the most part) that works should speak for themselves. Sometimes it’s a little hard for me personally to separate the work from the artist but I do try to do that. Not to mention that it’s usually not just one but many people that are involved in the makings and all of them do deserve fair treatment by the audience. For what it’s worth I do have the Yearbook on my Plan-to-watch list.
I get it. I myself have come across these types of rumors and I agree that it’s important to have some kind of proof to back up your claims. Now at least the link is up there thanks to you :D

Okay, let me backtrack a little. When I responded to you first it was a hot-tempered reaction and I apologize for that. I didn’t mean it. Your response wasn’t necessarily nice and my reaction wasn’t either. My second response too wasn’t worded nicely. I would’ve gladly provided you with the link if you’d asked politely. In case you’re wondering why I didn’t provide the link before, it was bc I honestly thought that most people here already knew about the situation as the links can be found on LBC and Means page (here on MDL). Because of that I didn’t really think of providing the link and you’re right I should’ve. I’m normally not a hot-tempered person and don’t want to escalate the situation further. I hope you understand that me not posting the link wasn’t done out of bad intentions. I also hope that you understand that my responses to your comments were mostly knee-jerk reactions

Curb your temper. It’s you who started accusing me instead of asking politely for a link like a adequate person would do. So no need to act up now. And it seems to be you who should cut back on media consumption.
