Proud found her closure with Tac and was finally hesitantly about to move on with Jaidee, which was indicated by her accepting Jaidees call.

I’ve seen episodes 1 and 3 so far and I liked them. I know that many here seem to be disappointed in the GL storyline and I can see why but I myself quite liked it. I think the twist of the story is interesting and could’ve beautifully worked as a longer series. It would’ve been nice to see the psychological effect of the „twist“ on each character in detail, especially Proud and Jaidee. I don’t think that the ending was sad. It was open, sure, but it heavily indicated a happy ending to come.

Ngl, I only watched one episode. I simply couldn’t take it anymore, it was so incredibly boring and made little to no sense. The dialogue felt like it was written by a person who’s never ever touched a pen in their life.
You’re right, „So Much in Love“ was at least entertaining lol Reminded me if the earlier days of Google Translate

Bas should’ve been the protagonist hands down. He is the most complicated character of the bunch and with an incredibly important story to tell too. I can’t believe they instead chose two one dimensional characters with barely any chemistry and zero substance to their „love story“ as the main protagonists.
I wonder if it was done because somehow they (the makers? The producers?) thought that the story might be too dark otherwise. Or maybe, because it’s a BL, there needs to be a conventional love story instead of an actually important topic at the forefront of this drama.
I‘m still gonna watch season 2 and just hope that Bas‘ll finally become a protagonist there. Micheal acting was great.

I realized that he somehow reminds me of Kimmon Warodom

I swear! I didn’t get it either. Right up until that moment I could get behind what was happening in the story (to a degree) but that conversation was kind of a mess and didn’t feel complete. The acting in that particular scene wasn’t great either imo. I don’t understand why Sine refused Tan, especially after Tan openly confessed to him. Even disregarding the acting and only listening to the dialogue it still doesn’t make any sense to me..
And ep 6 continued trying to build something on that senseless mess of conflict

I can totally understand that feelings are complicated and it’s scary to pursue someone you like, especially if you’re unsure about their feeling towards you. It’s scary bc you need to open up to them and thus become vulnerable and vulnerability is scary. I felt it in this series. Both boys were too scared to approach each other directly but they still tried to gauge each other’s feeling in a subtle way by hiding behind the ”I’m kidding” facade. Tan was a bit bolder than Sine and Sine was actually reading Tans signs correctly. That is until the fourth episode where the story introduced a girl, Lin. The birthday moment was pretty awkward and I still can get behind what’s happened. Neither Sine nor Tan seemed to have any experience concerning love and relationships and Tans actions could be interpreted as being overwhelmed or flustered by the situation. He kept most of his attention on Lin and kind of disregarded Sine. I’ve known people like Tan in my life, who behave one way and then suddenly another and it’s hard to make sense of it unless they directly explain to you what’s going on in their head.

And because Sine and Tan weren’t together yet, it was easy for Sine to misunderstand the situation as Tan flirting with the girl. I would’ve probably felt the same way. I also understand why Sine felt like he couldn’t ask Tan about it directly as he was maybe scared to show that he misunderstood Tans feelings for him. Again, till now I can get behind all of these characters’ actions and emotions.
The conversation at the end of the 5th episode should’ve been quite important and emotional but it was acted out so badly that I was confused. Until that moment the acting was decent but in that scene it felt lifeless, emotionless and straight up off. The dialogue was mostly fine, it’s just that the acting sucked.
90% of the 6th episode was completely unnecessary. At that point both boys lost me somewhere around the end of ep 5. After that messy conversation I couldn’t understand why Sine was so against a relationship with Tan and why he suddenly changed his mind so quickly.
I wish they’d have cut the 6 ep completely and instead prolonged the conversation at the end of ep 5. Imo it would’ve been better if they talked it out, resolved their misunderstandings and ended up together.

Im gonna mention that I’m not a big fan of mathematics and most if the stuff they talked about confused me. Maybe it’s bc I don’t understand mathe but it felt kind of pretentious to me. But it’s probably bc I really felt lost most of the time they talked about trigonometry and stuff lol

A bit of an awkward mess but I still enjoyed it, at least till the end of the 5th episode. Notwithstanding the nearly incomprehensible editing I was mostly on board with what happened till the end of the 5th episode.

It took me a century to finish this. I couldn’t connect with any of the characters at all. I felt nothing. I honestly don’t know which was more boring, this or Oxygen.

I do feel kinda bad for Kane’s actor though. He seems promising and deserves a better series

Still excited for the series but Gameplay leaving really put a damper on the whole thing for me. What a bummer...

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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...

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
