@RayDefender ... you don't have to block me, I wouldn't reply to insults/Rude people anyway... ~~

Also, don't you know that if you blocked someone they won't see your comment🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦 so it's kinda useless what you just did 🤣🤣 🤣🤣

I know the reasons, you don't have to explain all that, I still stand my ground about this~

I am, thank you for stating the obvious, tell me something I don't know ~

I feel like we keep dragging this away from the main focus so I'll try to keep it short.😅

Look I'm fine with Chinese censored BL, the untamed, Advanced bravely and Guardian etc... All are censored adaptations yet were liked, and my opinion about them aside, but open any of the Chinese BL pages, everyone is treating them as Bromance, because they are... that's basically what China do to BL materials, they censor it, their "version" of BL if you wanna call it so ~~

So that makes this drama also "a censored BL" *throw the word bromance away* now we are clear.
Now please look at others' comments and tell me if you are a BL watcher, what would you expect if you haven't seen SWM yet??.... personally , I expected something else, or more than what China usually shows... or is it just me?, if it's just me then no problem, all I'm saying is, I expected more, I didn't get what I expected, it's not any "Bolder" than the others, it's exactly the same, that's it, that's my whole comment ~~

Now I wanna stop here but my fingers are getting itchy because I need to say something about the advertising thing 😂 I don't know how this was advertised inside China, but this is a BL book, if you take away the BL then whatever left isn't the main focus of the story, it's like writing about Jane Eyre but focusing about her interactions with Mrs. Fairfax and totally ignoring Mr. Rochester. I mean, I like Mrs Fairfax but she is a side character. Got me? It's a great story -in your opinion- but still it's the side story. If you throw away the heart of the book the rest won't fill out the missing part, because say whatever, but people come to watch this because it's a BL not because it's a family drama~

Ok, other adaptations!? We disagree here, I'm not saying this "should" have other adaptations nor that they gonna be "better". I said that long time ago, immediately after the announcement of this remake, I said if we gonna have a remake, it's better be a Taiwanese -not even Thai - because this would be the closest to the book with respect to it's mature content. And IMO that'll be an improvement, because ANOTHER Chinese one would means more censorship because the first didn't survive a couple of forced kisses, So this point is for it's time, I'm not even looking for the Thai version that is announced ~~

I think I need to clarify something first, I'm not disappointed that this is what it is, I'm saying is this is not how the comments here shows, and if you read the first thing I say, I put it on hold the first time because I thought "ok they probably gonna cut it down to the basic things and make it a bromance" but then I saw people's reactions and how this is a great BL so I thought " ok, maybe I'm wrong" and i started it again with this mentality!!

So you see I'm not complaining here, I'm just stating that this, for a BL watcher, not a BL, because I see comments saying this has kisses and strong romance in it, and I'm saying "bish where 😂😂" and I'm not judging anyone's taste Nor am I saying I need kisses and sex to enjoy a series, I'm simply saying, this is not what it advertise for, this is not what comments shows, am I surprised!? Not really, totally expected and respected too, -hello China, earth says hellooo-
do I think the remake is necessary!? This pushes back to my old comment when I first saw the remake announcement, I clearly said, it's gonna be a bromance and it's better to have a Taiwanese version instead because while they may show some of the nasty thing from the book, they won't go fully wacko and show everything, and it'd be the closest to the source material that all of us here on this page came to look for ~~

Now for the two points you stated, 1- the actors could get banned... Johnny and Timmy were banned from appearing "together" and from advertising the show I think but they still could work and that didn't stop Johnny from later winning prices for his acting career. My point is it's not a career killing thing.

but you actually proved my point, they didn't show anything because they are afraid of getting banned, means they censored everything, then how can we call it a BL!? We call a censored BL, a bromance... that's my whole point~~

2- this is a good family drama... Ok great!! Fantastic I'm glad you liked it, I genuinely am no kidding, then advertise it as a family drama, slice of life, not as an adaptation for famous BL novel... don't take the whole flesh out of the book and use just the crust then advertise it as a remake, for me i understand your POV but I won't talk much about the details.

I'm -again- talking about what people say Vs what it actually is.
And Damn! That was a long comment, I'm sorry about that 😂😂

Well, for me it's not about consent age, the problem is intentionally exposing these kids to such materials, worse even let them act in it ~
Rape and sexual assault for a 15YO kid!? No, thank you. 😂

Probably not well, but let's hope for a cast change, and for these kids to be casted in something else more suitable for their ages~

Yea, sure I wasn't expecting anything crazy like holding hands from a Chinese series, but I also can't call this a "BL" if it is not clearly implied that the leads are in a relationship. You see my point!?
I'm mainly addressing how everyone is talking about this as if it's a BL while it's obviously not ~~

I personally don't watch for sex, if that was the case, then I'd be an idiot if i expect anything from a Chinese production. But the drama itself isn't that grand.
So if it isn't BL, nor a great drama then what are everyone impressed with!?

Also, I definitely not gonna watch the Thai version that casts teenagers for these roles, sorry but I'm not a sick person 😂 ~

I wonder if they made this drama just to piss me off lol but seriously this was so annoying, it wasn't simply a miscommunication problem, it was no communication at all between the leads ~~

The FL was just in her head trying to figure out the ML and here I am in the corner ... screaming ... HELLOOOO!! ... hi yes, uh 3 years!! ... you know.... those freaking 3 years with your EX ?? ... who you imagined marrying and have kids with, you simply gonna forget him as if he was nothing!? ...
She didn't give a tinker's damn about him!!!
I could relate to her because I also had plans that got fucked up but I could not understand her approach after her break up~~
The ML lacks some social skills so I understand his way of thinking and behaving a little, as a socially awkward person I usually give different reactions and emotions than I intend to show, so I won't be judgy ~~

The drama doesn't show anything besides the two leads relationship so I don't know what to say TBH beside that they both were exasperating characters, on the other hand, Genta was EXTREMELY handsome,, and Sakurako was so cute and I like how she dresses here ~~

I started this drama before it was fully released and I put it on hold at ep3 because I thought it's not gonna beat the original adaptation, but lately I rewatched "Addicted"/"Heroin" and I read all those comments here about how they can't forget this series and how it was amazing so I thought "well, here goes nothing" and I watched it.~~

I have to say that it wasn't bad but I didn't like it that much, first I'll address the elephant in the room, for me it was a bromance, not BL, you can literally watch the first 19 episodes of this and think of them as brothers and it won't feel weird, they just threw hints here and there and you have to pick those tiny traces or just read between the very narrow lines to get that they are together, we have big hint on ep20 and a couple of pecks in later episodes to show that they are together. But besides that we have nothing, they didn't even held hands, not even one normal kiss, and I'm sorry if I didn't agree with everyone here but this wasn't satisfying for a BL fan, and I'm not saying I wanna see the book as it is but I just need them to admit being in relationship and address that freely to fully accept that they are together ~~

Now if I have to judge it as a series without debating whether it is BL or bromance, it was just a simple school drama, nothing great about it and nothing stands out, as an adaptation this was sieved and generously filtered with characters being omitted or altered to fit the censorship rules. Because this WuBi isn't GuHai, he is more like the "Vanilla" version of him and thank god for that, because while this isn't really the best nor honest adaptation, this is by far the most acceptable and watchable one ~~

Wow! Totally forgot about this drama~~ I still don't understand what is the "story" is about ~~

I watched the first 5mins of this and I immediately knew that I'm going to hate this drama, the FL was too much, she cares about everyone's feelings and notice the smallest things but somehow miraculously didn't notice the ML feelings for her nor cared and refused him when he confessed lol 😂 she even cared for his Ex's feelings more than him.
And the idea that everyone is in love with the ML or the FL is annoying, putting about 4 rivals in this drama is a tad too much.
I'm trying to not be prejudiced towards the drama but i just spent the whole time clicking my tongue and giving annoying glances at the FL behaviour.

*high5* XD I was slightly caught up in the moment 🤣
I'm glad to find someone who shares the same experience as me 👍👍

Duuuuude!!!! Careful what you wish for 😂😂😂😂😂

Uhmmm ... nope!!
The novel is fucked up enough to even adapt it and cast REAL teenagers... even if it would take some time before it is out, from what I hear about Thai BL productions and how actors were treated and fan services and things they are forced to do, just leave those children alone, if you wanna help them reach their dreams and debut, please pick a suitable roles for them, because as a person who came for the "novel adaptation" I'm done watching a chopped or changed adaptation, I want the real thing but I won't be comfortable watching kids doing it, you have a billion baby-faced adult actors who can do these roles.
I mean, look at their faces, my maternal instinct kicks in when I see them 😂 just give them a glass of milk and let them sleep early for school, they are just kids xD

I came across this drama that I've watched twice before, long time ago, so I decided to rewatch it, and I do not remember what I wrote about it except that I loved it so much but the end was bad.
My opinion remains the same, the last 5-7 EPs were oddly written, the whole series was amazing, and with little to no plot holes, and that's something for Chinese dramas to have a consistent story, but the end for me could be better. My favourite part was the past, the younger leads were super adorable and their story was so good.
I also loved the two old leads and despite having odd feelings towards Johnny -i seriously feel unsettled in a bad way when I see him, dunno why lol- but the role becomes him, and I love Vic, although acting isn't her forte but she did her best here ~

I don't know the book/story it was based on but I'd definitely read it if I came across it, just to know how it ended there~
I highly recommend the drama because it was a nice watch, but keep low expectations for the end ~~

That was ..... good?
I'm actually surprised, this was a decent watch!
It's just one special EP but the story fits in it perfectly, I didn't expect much since the whole thing is one hour. But I could watch a whole series with those two leads because they actually CAN act, not in a flawless amazing way, but compared to other actors In the Thai BL industry they are considered very good.
I knew boat from the infamous series "Check out" but this is the first time I saw Chang, he looks slightly like Bible from KP.
Overall not great but watchable and IMO as simple as it is, it's better than many other Thai BL out there ~~

I usually watch dramas for the story and acting, and Japanese dramas never fail to impress -or surprise, depends on what you watch- but let's be honest here, this one has absolutely no story, no meaning, just a bunch of ridiculous moments between the leads who are already in relationship since the first season, and the second season promises nothing at all, BUT this wasn't meant to be meaningful anyway lol
I watched this because of the two couples here, I just enjoy watching them together and despite barely having any romantic moments between the leads they only held hand during the whole thing till the very last EP, it still was lovely and fluffy.
Minato is so cute, aggravating maybe and stupid for sure but still adorkable and sweet, Shin calm and relentless demeanor and Akira awkward and shy behaviour is so enjoyable to watch.
My point is, if you are looking for a solid script with good acting then look elsewhere, but if you liked the first season and want to see a very meaningless day to day life of the couple, then watch this.

Oh my god!
This is the first BL I've ever watched, or as far as I remember this was the first.
And to have a remake brings back good old memories!! I remember when BL wasn't even known that much and I used to secretly watch these movies, and gets shy and swoon whenever the two leads get close or their lips just touch, oh old times of innocence!!, now I watch shit like "dangerous drugs of sex" and "shortest distance is round" without even blinking 😂
Anyway, can't wait for this, come what may I'm sure I'm going to enjoy it ~~~

I liked the first two episodes, actually I loved them and I was so invested in the drama despite the lack of logic. Because I thought they have to prepare the settings for the main story etcetera etcetera.... but from the 3rd EP onwards, I started to hate it because it wasn't just one or even two illogic things in the story, the whole thing went Swoosh!!! Down the Mariana trench of inconsequence and stupidity. It's just too messy with too unreasonable things happening ~~
All I could say is how? And sometimes why! So I'm putting this on hold, I'm definitely trying to keep the last 2 brain cells I have left alive after burning the rest watching about half of this ~~
