I'm wondering tho, it's the same day of the final episode, will they air back to back? I saw a japanese comment saying they want to recover from the finale first and they wish they could air these specials on a weekly basis so we can enjoy it for a longer time and I kinda agree lol

I can't believe we're getting all of this! CM is truly the gift that keeps on giving I'm so happy T__T

Check the discussion board on AIB page. I think we're doing it on the 11th tho I'm not sure if this schedule is confirmed

I loved reading your thoughts here. You put everything so clearly so it's easy to follow and understand and I mostly agree with your theories. I'm just slightly anxious about this final unknown incident and what it might mean even tho I'm sure the show will resolve it and give us the HEA we all want >.<

As for the topic of intimacy, I don't know why some people think Kurodachi are lacking in this department. I personally understand intimacy in its broader meaning, not just its physical aspect. When they simply look into each other and get lost in their own world, that is intimacy. When they hold hands and it gives them the biggest smile and makes their hearts soar, that is intimacy. When they eat together, when they walk side by side, when simply being in each other's company feels comfortable and familiar and gives them contentment, that is also intimacy. Sex and heavy skinship are just one of many many ways of showing and portraying intimacy and CM not relying on it doesnt mean it's not doing it right.

Honestly that would be realistic. I imagine myself in his place and learning someone has been reading my inner, most private thoughts would make me freak out, no matter who they are and even if it wasn't intentional. That's not easy to take in.

Is there a translation? What does it say exactly? :(

I went to check and the King's Game question gives you 2 points so now eveything makes sense '^_^

The show doesn't need a hot scene. A tender kiss would be more than enough and even without it, the show remains perfect imo.

Got 10/13, I need to study harder :(

I'm kinda confused tho because there are 12 questions?

Just how we were wondering and analyzing the goat picture and machida was like eh? I don't know lol

I'm probably one of 5 people on earth who don't have ig but y'all are making me wanna create an account just to do this T__T

Yes defining the line is indeed difficult because it's all very subjective and I agree that a compromise can still be found despite that if we talk it out calmly. The community here started very small and we all practically watch together so maybe it explains why we're more carefree with the spoiler tag compared to other comment sections. I just hope we can keep this discussion (that's important to have) civil because the main reason most of us like coming here is that it's a wholesome space and it would be a shame to have the nice atmosphere suddenly ruined.

Should I put this under a spoiler? lol
I also think ep10 will be about Adachi's dilemma about whether to tell Kurosawa or not. I expect him to tell him towards the end too and ep11 is the one where they work on this conflict and hopefully it gets resolved by the end of it.

I understand textual spoilers with detailed descriptions of scenes and events but I'm genuinely curious, how is a profile picture different from, say, a preview at the end of an episode? What about updates from the drama official accounts on twitter and other platforms? Would you tell them to stop posting them because they're spoilers? I'm genuinely curious, where do we draw the line?

This made me emo again ;__;

Korea is progressively starting to take on the BL genre which is why many people are excited despite it having low production quality and inexperienced actors, and might rate it subjectively higher than what it actually deserves, more like to encourage the trend and I understand it. I saw WYEL which was not bad for a start and Mr Heart not so much. I have yet to check the new one (I think it has an ex-kpop idol too? EDIT : I was wrong, he's in the upcoming BL called Color Rush) but I expect it to be similar to the previous dramas, maybe cute but not spectacular.

Does the individual rating for each episode affect the overall/average rating for the whole drama?

Same, I love that the show is self-aware about its cheesiness (Adachi himself thinks it's mushy) but it also embraces it and doesn't make fun of it, it's rather shown to be endearing.

I really do. Listening to it while reading and going about my day, I like its diversity, different genres and languages, CM love goes beyond all barriers ^_^

Finally listening to the spotify playlist and it's so nice! You guys have A+ taste ♡
