Thanks for that! But I already watched it. Will be good for those in the future though.

Me too. I agree with you and I want the second season so bad. But the rating for this is 7.2. I think that's quite fair cuz the drama was not the best, but I certainly enjoyed some parts and want season 2.

I think Ped's character is kind of confusing. But I was really touched by Oi's character. Talking bout "I didn't do anything. I don't even know how." The love he had in his heart was so pure. It is something to aspire to.
Also the way Kai and Ped treated each other shocked me too. So much RESPECT between the two. APPLAUSE!

Loved the movie. The love between the two was really special. And the girl, Kai, I love the speech she gave at the end. All 3 are great characters.

My only complaints is that there was no scene that showed Ped expressing his overwhelming love to Oi in front of Oi! They do not even hold hands. There is no kiss scene, but I wish we'd at least got to see them stare into each other's eyes longer in a more loving way. The last scene was so sweet but it was a bit of a pity.

Also their acting wasn't the best in certain parts, but I have never been one that needs astounding acting or video quality. I care about the content more. And the movie delivered. It did. I quite enjoyed it.

Thank you!! Took me a second because I'm on my phone and had to unzip the file, but this def works!

Don't think the link works anymore.

Def will watch after I finish Rupthong.

I think this is a really well done prequel! However I do not support Kido and Kijima's relationship in anyway. Kido's character seems unsure of himself the whole drama until the very end. I'm just as confused as him!
The best part of this drama was seeing Kijima's past. We finally get to understand why he is the way he is. We also get closure with Kuzumi-kun. Kijima has a golden heart. I find his character beautiful in many ways.
There is one single (maybe 2) inconsistency I found with this drama and the original. In the original Kido said that Kijima was led by girls by the nose in college meaning full of lust. But in this one he tells to his sensei that he never felt true desire and it was all biological/ physiogical (?) reactions.. That's a little inconsistent.
Then also the way he treated Kuzumi in the original and here is a 180! Here Kijima is the most vulnerable we've seen. But in the original he is so cold. I guess that's because he finally opened himself up. But how did he get over the pain from Kido, his dad, and his failed career so fast... I still love him and Kuzumi but feel a little weird about that. This obviously takes place not too long after they started dating.

This like barely qualifies as BL. I am confused if it is or isn't, but I enjoyed it. The plot was weird and in the end the girl is my favorite character so I don't know what that says?

I can't be 100% sure you know. Every crew is different. Some actually don't give updates. It's hard to trust that with BL series after so many have been cancelled though. So it could be either. I just hate to see another one die before it's even born. I rather say it'll happen until it's confirmed cancelled.

Mmm. I agree with you that it is not anything new. Yeah. I get it.

Also I looked at your profile, and I may have to use it to find some new stuff to watch. It seems you got some good stuff. Hahah. It's really impressive how much stuff you got up there. In the past when I watched Korean dramas, if I put them all on here I'm sure I'd have as much as you. But I am too lazy for that and don't watch them that much anymore. So. Really cool profile though.

Oh yeah. That's exactly what I was saying. We don't have to accept -- no. But what else can you do? It's either watch it or don't. I personally am sick in the head and nothing can stop me from watching BL. I think many of us just look over it.

LOLOL. I stopped watching LBC because I didn't like it. Why do you say Pete is a disaster though? Because he was so timid and Ae always stood up for him?

After seeing trailer.. not sure what it is. Maybe it's more in the middle but it has to be leaning more towards one side. Still banking on light-hearted.

I don't think that's true. During filming the crew often doesn't communicate with fans. I think the mose sure fire way is to check the actor's social media.

Everyone knows the most homophobic people are gay or like the same-gender themselves. It's kind of sad. Internalized Oppression.
This drama can be made two different ways. In a light-hearted way. This way teaches less lessons but is cuter to watch. Or in a serious way where the main character struggles a lot and so do the people around him because of his hatred. This way is better for education but can be less fun for people who are watching if they don't care for such a horrible situation. I bank the drama's gonna be the first one.

So many BL movies and dramas have rape or relationships that seem started off on some rape-type situation. I feel like it's just can you handle it or not? It's kind of weird to overlook such a thing that can't be supported. But I dunno. Welcome to the BL World?

So in my opinion the first one is better. Love the song they used though. One of my favorite songs.

I think it's a good movie that lacks substance. The relationship had barely any development. All the sudden they got together out of nowhere. What happened to watching them fall in love? Otherwise it was good. The plot was good and the first half is pretty funny.
