BL Compilations

Yes, please do watch it. After seeing it I actually think it wasn't a bad ending but I don't want to spoil you too much.

it's a bittersweet ending which is honestly probably for the best for Wang

bittersweet ending which I'm actually fine with because In doesn't deserve Wang, highly recommend watching this series

It's not tragic but it's not a typical happily ever after, I'd label it as bittersweet

For those who were waiting to know the type of ending...

Thank you for the kind words. I do try my best to point out what I think went well and what did not work for me. My goal for my reviews is that it helps others know if it might be something they'd enjoy watching or not. My goal for videos is to spread laughter and my love of BL. Happy BL Watching!

👍

Thanks for the explanation about the 'brother' and 'sister' thing. I've frequently seen friend relationships translated into 'brother' and 'sister' which is confusing because where I live, people only use 'brother' and 'sister' for those who are biological siblings (guys might sometimes use 'bro' for a close friend, but not 'brother').

Glad I'm not the only person puzzled about where the water came from.

There was no/little skinship in Skinship, I'd skip it unless you really have nothing left to watch. It's sponsored by a skin health place if I remember correctly.

When he said he hadn't been hugged in a long time, my heart broke in two. Hope he finds an amazing boyfriend in the future.

I added a content warning and also added more thoughts about it, Ple did call him out on it but yes the whole conversation they had was strange/bad.

I think it might be airing on TV in Thailand but they needed to cut it so scenes didn't overlap since the commercial breaks were removed. I emailed them, perhaps in future episodes they'll edit this part better.

Something we all need to keep in mind is "reality" series are rarely reality. 1. The editing can be extremely misleading from changing the order of things to taking phrases/conversations out of context to not showing us things that are happening. 2. Things can be scripted. Producers might have told Chang Min to take the double and who to choose as his roommate for example. 3. Their contracts might include that they won't talk about if editing was misleading or they were told to do things, so we'll never know.

I appreciate that none of them seem to be intentionally mean as we see on many other reality series. I'd like some to communicate more/better but I don't see any villains.

My goals for the guys in this series were for them to have fun, maybe make a friend, and for being in the series to be neutral or be beneficial to their personal & professional lives. As much as I'd love 4 happy couples at the end, I was not expecting that to happen.

1 - Hyuk Jun (Eun Chan), he says he doesn't want a sweet date but wants to tell him something, I wonder if he's going to lay everything out although he doesn't think it's reciprocated; (Hokeep) says he's a mystery and wants to get to know him better; (Seon Yul) or it was mailbox 2 and Chan Kyu

either 1 Hyuk Jun or ??? Jeong Hyun (Chang Min) he said he wants to date again so it's either Hyuk Jun or Jeong Hyun

6 - Chang Min (Jeong Hyun) he's sad but I think he's still determined; (Lee Hyun) just admitted Chang Min was his first choice; (Hyuk Jun) also clearly likes Chang Min

8 - Hokeep, could be Seon Yul but I'm hoping it's Hokeep (Chan Kyu)

Possible Match - Chang Min and Jeon Hyun OR Chang Min and Hyuk Jun

My next comment is who I think is the owner of each mailbox (1 to 8 from left to right, parentheses are who wrote the letter)

Thank you so much for the additional information. I deleted the content warning and included your info in my review in case others were confused. I thought the character had traveled to another country and then they were wearing outfits that was not a part of their own culture (and I thought the clothes might be cultural appreciation but I know headdresses in some cultures have spiritual connections and it is considered appropriation to wear if you are not part of that culture). However that is not the case and I'm happy to correct my initial review. Thanks again!

Open ending - no one dies or anything tragic at the end, but we aren't really sure that they are going to end up together.

Definitely, Changyu noped out of there and I would have done the exact same thing if that had happened to me. I want Changyu and the new guy Hokeep to go on a date. Hokeep is looking for a serious relationship (he mentioned marriage is a top priority) and I think Changyu is too. Plus Changyu said he wanted someone who can dress well and Hokeep does.

I re-watched. Yes, Seon Yul says that it's too fast/early but I think that Seon Yul doesn't want it to look like he's been taken. He wants to still pursue other people. I could be totally wrong but my gut is telling me Seon Yul is not romantically interested in Chang Gyu. (and even if Seon Yul is romantically interested in Chang Gyu I think Chang Gyu is no longer interested in Seon Yul, he talked about the weather and how he was tired then they immediately returned to the house...)

Chang Gyu is a flirty cinnamon roll, I'm sad he was described as "spoiled". I felt that he was flirting because he was genuinely romantically interested in Seon Yul, who does not seem to feel the same way. Chang Gyu already knows he doesn't match with Jeong Hyeon romantically so 2 down, 5 more possibilities!
