Eps. 3 & 4: so much angst, such dramatic music, only to find out there was nothing to worry about. Wonderfully executed.

What's annoying me about Sant's dental appointment is that Jay does it all himself without the help of a dental technician who first fits a bib around his neck and then hands him special sunglasses for when the bright overhead lights are turned on which here are not provided. When performing dental work, the technician inserts a mouth vacuum to extract the built-up saliva and excess water from the treatment which the dentist can't do while working on the teeth. Finally, his mouth is supposed to be numb after treatment, but there he is going to a cafe and eating a croissant.

Aside from that, whoever heard of a mother leaving an 8yo kid abandoned during a trip to the dentist. Then there's his fainting in the chair looking at an electric toothbrush wizz. It's all a bit much. I'll be glad when Sant's root canal procedure is done with so the proper romance can get underway.

Even though it works out well for everyone, it still doesn't redeem how bad most of this series was. One other thing, the description mentioned a box; there wasn't one, Arm saw inscriptions he'd hung with Ryu among many others but it didn't lead anywhere.

Yes, it concentrates on Ryu and Arm and makes up for the awfulness of the previous episode.

For most of Ep. 4, Akin looked miserable, constipated and unsmiling. Compare him to the adorable, angelic-faced Jin, with his silken, long blond hair and sweet nature. Nevertheless, Jin is keen to win over Akin and does so, resulting in the extraordinary honey scene enhanced with Debussy's rippling piano music, Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum, from Children's Corner. Perfection.

Hmm. The way it ended, I wonder if there'll be a second season.

Lee and Glai are too cute and adorable for words. I want to see more of them.

This new series is entertaining and delightful. It's light, a little bit playful and the MLs are cute and charming, especially Xiao Bai, who offered himself as Da Hei's boyfriend instead of being the supposed girlfriend Grandma thought he was living with. As one does. Who could resist such an offer?

Nom Jued and Phra Aek were an odd coupling but somehow it worked. By the end of the series, I even recognised the kissing music. I quite liked it on the whole.

The entirety of Ep. 7 was about secondary characters. Arm and Ryu made fleeting appearances. And this is the penultimate episode. What was forecast in the description hasn't even occurred yet. It began with some promise but has degenerated into one of the worst BL series ever.

The traumatic accident that killed Du Zhi's parents and seriously maimed his brother is an episode in his life, on his birthday no less, that he cannot overcome and somehow feels it is his fault that it happened, despite the fact it was a speeding truck driver who should have stopped at the intersection but instead ploughed forward and crashed into his family's car. To take on this guilt personally seems wrong to me but that is what he has chosen. The other two don't realise this and can't understand Du Zhi's behaviour, so when Wang Zhan decides he wants to celebrate his birthday and solicits Ian's help, nothing goes as planned and it becomes a fiasco, with Ian attacking Du Zhi for his behaviour and leaving Wang Zhan dejected. Ian, a good friend of Wang Zhan, is a really nice guy and he's also super cute. There's something very appealing about cute Asian boys who change their hair colour to platinum blonde. Coupled with their pale complexions, it really suits them. I just had to mention this.

When a bead of Tong's sweat dripped from the bridge of his nose onto Mark's face (end of Ep. 2), he instantly recovered from all his injuries. That's a new addition to the lore of vampires, notwithstanding how this human excrescence from someone with golden blood could perform such a miracle as the two substances, blood and sweat, are entirely unrelated. Wonders never cease to happen.

You missed the bit when a label fell off one of the food containers. Nevertheless, with all the others labelled, it's difficult to see how he could have got the wrong one.

I was surprised to see Tor show up, I thought he was going to be a character heard about but not seen, but as he finally appeared in the flesh, I'm very pleased they chose an A grade star like Ohm to play him.

So much angst before the four of them finally sorted themselves out. I'm happy with the outcome.

These 'short shorts', as one reviewer called it - a vertically filmed story of many minuscule length episodes compiled into a single video - are becoming tiresome. I suppose it's done to save money but their choppy nature interrupts the flow and make them harder to watch and understand what's going on. This one was no exception. The story, the acting and the cute actors were all fine, but with a little more effort, a better budget and slightly longer script it could have been much better.

Both boys are cute. One is more attracted to the other boy, and there's an underlying sexual tension that is never realised. The cinematography is beautiful.

I was so wrong about Jaemin (deliberate false flags on the part of the director, especially in Ep. 7). He's more of a deranged psychopath than Su Hyeon who, after all the drama in the cabin, has a redemptive scene with Daon (though he still needs anger management treatment). As everyone hoped, Daon and Seong Hyeon finally achieve happiness together. It is one of the finest K-dramas ever made and those two are the cutest couple.

Daon was incredibly naive and stupid to go to the carpark alone from where he was kidnapped. Before then, we heard Su Hyeon ring someone and say the plan was on, then a bit later we saw him sitting in his car in the carpark, after which Daon got the text from Jaemin to meet him there - but was it from Jaemin? Prior to that, he'd told Su Hyeon he would no longer be involved with Daon and later we saw him with his bags packed and walking out of his apartment to go wherever. I don't know how, but I think Su Hyeon used Jaemin's phone to text him, had his thugs kidnap Daon and take him to the cabin where he is muffled with tape and tied up with rope in a chair. Even if in the manhwa Jaemin did kidnap Daon, it doesn't necessarily mean he does it in the live adaption. It makes much more sense for Su Hyeon to be behind it as he's obsessed with Daon, won't take no for an answer and as an out-of-control psychopath with money and power, he's more than capable.
