I actually enjoy the straight couple. Some people say it is boring but I think they do have chemistry. So I disagree with this idea that BL fans are "scared" of straight scenes (maybe some...not everyone). I have a bit of an issue with this archetype of the BL fan that some people are using left and right....

Even if I like the straight couple, I think the show is giving FAR too much space to Chan Yeong himself. On top of the love storyline, there's also the whole tennis thing. And that's definitely boring.

And where you see subtlety in the relationship development...I *feel* nothing of the sort. Not from a cinematography standpoint (sorry, after watching ITSAY for e.g., you can't help but be picky about these things). We can *think*, *analyze*, *intellectualize* the whole thing and say "yes, there are subtle hints". But that's not something that we (I and others) have *felt*.

I was so frustrated at the end of ep 4. Reading comments that confirm my thoughts healed me a tiny bit. I'll keep watching because I know we'll get there eventually but the lack of meaningful interactions between Heesu and Seung Won is criminal.

Thanks!

So I have a question that may raise controversy. I had tried to watch Perfect Ten Liners when it started but didn't get into it. But I keep hearing good things about it so I tried again with ep 1 today. And...news just in...I really CAN'T with the first couple. So should I:
Option 1 - keep watching the episodes with the first couple because ep 2 will be better
Option 2 - skip to the next couple
Option 3 - abandon altogether because if I'm not into the first story I won't like the rest
Sorry for being so needy...😇

That is your interpretation. I decided to focus on the systemic element of this story in my comment. You interpret that as a defense of the man accused.

I'll try to show you how your logic is flawed (and then I'll stop): "Me Too" was a movement that led to the recognition of systemic issues AS WELL AS Harvey Weinstein going on trial and being convicted.

Recognizing the systemic issue does not negate the guilt of the man.

"their excuse"? I've NEVER said that I excused him. And I've also NEVER said SK is a "Third World Country" (???). Acknowledging that the environment is toxic and allows for these men to do what they do is not "dangerous"...it's the FIRST thing you should do to avoid this happening again. Hope that clarified my message.

It's usually not great to be on the side of the "villagers with forks". Then again, you mention SK's former laws + dating culture and how they are (were) lenient on these topics. I personally think THIS is the real issue.

This man is not pure evil: he. is .the. product. of. his. environment.

And if this scandal allows SK to have debates and discussions on those issues, at least something good could come out of all this terrible mess.

BUABIN SUPREMACY! PERIOD. 💅🏼

I think it was just a very K-drama way of showing that they had met before. But I think he's just helping him as a stranger seeing someone collapsing in the street. Ju Seong Hyeon has "saved" him 3 times is total 😂

It's a good show but it's SO over the top. It's giving DRAMA seasoned with DRAMA and a pinch of DRAMA, with a bit of DRAMA on top and served with DRAMA on the side!!!

this show is reducing my life expectancy...and I'm here for it! 😱😵😭💖

And just after Cir casually swapped his life with his brother...that made NO sense whatsoever to include an NC scene at that point

Bro the brothers swapping was so messed-up???

I'm fairly certain this show is an exception to MANY rules in the BL game (but I do hope it revolutionizes the game somehow?). The only other show that I can compare it to is I Told Sunset About You. Not that the vibes are similar. But it's the only other show that stands out in terms of having its own style and for the quality of the production.

I swear this show is a fucking rollercoaster and I'm never ready for it... I change fave pairings every scene. Or I end up thinking no one should be together because GUYS, STAHP IT NOW, BE NICE OKAY?!

I want to hug Baabin 🥹🩵

The last episode is really awful. I'm not against the concept of 2 leads not ending up together. But it has to be done well. Obviously, it's not the case here.

First, I absolutely hate when the plot is "abandoned": why are we showed that the grandma is connected to Shi Wen for it to be absolutely not used in the plot later on? The whole glowing necklace business is never explained...OK

Second, this was simply boring: a full episode of flashbacks and writing letters which bring absolutely nothing to the story. The idea that he has to relive the moments to accept his fate is something that can be expressed through one / two scenes. Here, it was more than half of the episode.

Last but not least...what on earth is the message of this show? At best, it's absolutely empty, there was no intention to express anything and it's just a series of random tropes that were very clumsily used. At worst, it's basically saying that we have no control whatsoever over anything in our life and that happiness is unattainable for completely random reasons. Considering that it is representing a gay couple, it's even more distressing: "be careful gay people, if you insist on dating someone your own sex, the person you love will die!" I'm sorry WHAT? I actually think it's the first option (i.e. completely empty of reflexion) but I can't help but overthink this. 😂

I'm still happy to find Chinese productions exploring BL stories. Next one will be better!

I agree but that's also what makes this show realistic (which is something that tends to lack in the world of BL)

To me, this is one of those rare BL that enters an elite category, alongside I Told Sunset About You. Because the plot, the actors, the cinematography NEVER failed us. ありがとうございました <3
