A simple BL... clichéd plot and ending, yes... but it works very well.

No love rival, no crazy screaming female character, no cartoon villain, no parents who oppose the couple or who cheer them annoyingly, no under-developed secondary BL or GL couple that takes screen time from the main couple, no complicated plots/storylines that end nowhere and leave us with 100 questions... and we even got a kiss that is not a fish kiss... a rarity for a Japanese BL.

Simple but done well (or even done decently enough) is always better than all those new BL stories out there that end up as a disappointment.

Oh surprise surprise! Domundi can actually produce good series and not just fan service like some their previous ones.

Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinions...
Not even worth starting an argument about it.

Why NuNew's characters and Zee's characters are always nearly identical except for the setting? One is always sassy, bossy and behaves mostly like a spoiled kid... the other is cold (on the outside), well-mannered and does everything "by the book"... fairly similar character behavior to the ones they had on "Cutie Pie" and "Naughty Babe". So far, the only novelty is the storyline of the 4 kingdoms (kinda like the Harry Potter houses... minus all the magic of course), the fencing competition and Ramil's life (clearly abused by his father but then becomes "Fifty Shades of Grey" with Ohm).

And speaking of Ramil and Ohm... without much background of how they got to this point (even after 6 episodes), their master-slave with a dog collar storyline is just weird. Plus, I know Khanin's dad lost his wife and one is not married and has no children... but, where are Ramil's and Ava's mothers?

There are so many different storylines but they aren't really focusing on a single one so, we get bits and pieces of everything.

Thanks! Finally I can watch the correct episodes... the series remains a bad one in my opinion, but at least I might not be as confused as before

Same here... I know the show is a mess but this makes it more confusing.

What is everyone talking about in the finale?
Starting from episode 5 all I got were repeated scenes from previous episodes... for example, in the last episode, it ends with the same scene as the end of episode 7... no idea what is happening or if I'm the only one facing this issue but I definitely did not see the things people are commenting on in here... so confusing...

Abandonment issues? I understand his parents died when he was young but as far as I remember they did not abandon him. I would understand the sense of abandonment if the parents gave him up for adoption, never paid attention to him or just neglected him.

I think he lacks someone who can love him as a son, brother, boyfriend and clings to Ming as he shows Joe any type of love and Joe responds to that little love and affection he receives from Ming just as much as he enjoys having the other Joe's mother as his own. I know persons in an abusive relationship have a hard time getting out of it. But Sol, ends up confessing to Joe and P'Wut tries (half-assed but tried) to help and yet...

The nonsensical part that bothered me most is when he reappears as the new Joe and, for whatever reason that the shaman in episode 12 tried to explain, the cycle keeps repeating itself. There is no apparent connection between both Joes and yet the original one ends up in the new ones body and experiencing the same things again.

I think "All Table Tennis!" worked because it showcased all the strategy that goes into a table tennis game, which many of us didn't know. The only problem was that the cast members were always getting COVID, so the teams were not complete for several episodes.

At the same time, we got to see the more serious side of Kang Ho Dong and Eun Ji Won and many different unexpected faces like Son Tae Jin, Lee Jin Ho, etc...

My MVP was LUCY's Shin Ye Chan, not only he was a good player, he was surprisingly charismatic.

I also enjoyed "Handsome Tigers" that had a similar vibe to "Unnies are Running".

So, a series created after the bogus show that "The Hidden Character" was (an excuse to find Ta's new BL partner, who ended up being Copper), ends up being ok, but nothing worth re-watching. It had an intriguing plot but the show transformed from a mystery/thriller to a typical high school series with bullies everywhere.

A lot of overacting with Us and Jet showing us why one was a secondary character in "Kinn Porsche" (if not for all the flashbacks, Us would have spent more time as a dead body than actually talking... and I'm still not 100% sure he had that many talking scenes) and the other was also a support character in all the series he worked for Star Hunter Entertainment.
Mio showed some promise but him and Barcode kinda over did it a bit in the scenes they had to scream and portray they were crazy. Copper has that fake grin that was annoying in "The Hidden Character" and remains annoying now. The others were decent at times but unconvincing when they had to portray some specific emotion.

The plot left some holes and the ending was quite disappointing. White had no real reason to die but he was used as a way of punishing Tee. Tan/New's plan really went overboard with all the blood thirsty revenge moments only for them to end with Phee and Jin questioning if they really left the mansion alive or not... I mean, I guess the possibility of a second season is there, but with most of the characters dead, they will have to come up with a weird solution to bring them back.

So, yeah, it was nice to see Ta get a lead role compared to how his previous role in "Kinn Porsche" and it was nice to see Barcode start exploring a new role with NC scenes and a deeper character. But, those two things can't save the series from being another one who had potential but fizzled around the mid-point.

Ratings might have dropped because South Korea played Jordan in the semifinal of the AFC Asian Cup (soccer) and the game had over 20% ratings on tvN.

Sorry, I'm Mexican and this story definitely doesn't compare... telenovelas has a very standard plot and you know the good character and the bad character right away... in here, I can't decide whether I truly hate Taw/Vit or they are hiding something, especially Taw. Chopin is a useless character so far and episode 7 just ended and I still have no clue as to why the brother and the homophobic sister-in-law are so decided to make Koon's life a living hell. And yes, I'm aware both complain about Koon not helping them out of the fire but he tried to. Now we added Thanwa's death but the scene after that made it sound it was all Koon's dream. Telenovelas might have poor writing and questionable acting (just like this series) but at least are so predictable, you know where things are going... in this series, I still can't find a cohesive pattern because the only constant are Koon's visions and considering there are only 3 episodes left... well, I'm not sure what to expect.

What a trainwreck of a show!
The writing couldn't do anything interesting to save the 8 episodes... bad directing, bad editing, very questionable acting from some of the cast members. Mawin and Mangkorn did not even appear in the final 2 episodes. Tonnam attempted suicide and 2 seconds later all is forgotten. The twins storyline was a waste of time. Kiat competing and trying to sabotage Araya only to join forces after they separated. Kita and his storyline with Namo and his current bf was sent to the backburner. Kiat stealing Kita's song and Kawi claiming he is "going to take Kiat's company down" but nothing happened. So many storylines that ended up being "solved" in like 2 minutes of the last episode. And apparently, the actors who played Kiat and Araya are listed as the producers... sadly, this was mostly a disaster.

I know they can't put a brand like Nike or Adidas but putting the logo of the producing company seems a bit odd. No military uniform or police officer uniform that I know of has sponsors. As for how they should look like... well, like they've actually gone training to make an elite force. Something like the cast of "Pit Babe" faces in the pre-series show (see the YT video for reference at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZr4PVSGC_E). I know is not the same type of military training but still, these guys are just too pretty coming out of something that is supposed to be tough.

There is no logo abbreviated as IDF in the jacket... the one in the front says "Investigation Detective Force" without any abbreviations and the one in one of the sleeves clearly says "Idol Factory" (see part 3 of the episode in IdolFactory's YT page at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSRj913Jc9E, at the 5:41 mark). That is the one I'm referring to.

So far, episode 2 was ok for me. The only negatives are the jackets they get when they officially pass the training and the makeup. If you are trying to convince me these guys are going through some of the toughest training exercises to become part of the special investigation team, why do they look like they just stepped out of a magazine photoshoot almost every single time?
And those jackets looked nice, until I noticed the silly "Idol Factory" patch on one of the sleeves... just so ridiculous that a training force in the Thai army will have that.

Glad it helped :)

I don't recall ever seeing subs for full episodes... I've seen clips on Youtube provided by the show itself. And in the dramacool or kisstvshow websites there are only the un-subbed episodes I'm afraid

Check the twitter account I mentioned a few comments ago...

She used to sub them before Viu began providing the subtitles... now, I let her know about it and she decided to do them again... https://twitter.com/dareumi1
She just posted episode 277 yesterday... she is not as fast as Viu but she was very detailed in the past... so I'm sure she'll be super efficient again
