this was perfect and this is the first K-BL where the ending was flawless, loved every moment of this and smiled from start to finish - this whole drama was just a cut above most of the K-BL's i've seen and its not the rest have been that bad - its just the ending has Always! sucked and left me bewildered as to WTH was this sloppy wrap-up job... here it was just right!
nothing was forced or rushed - a load of common sense like with Da On not being picked and his reaction to it - or his conclusion... ugh this was a balm to the soul and a great job by all - inexperienced actors, production and all. for sure a rewatch!!! loved every moment - but this a bittersweet moment as no more so a big Thank You for a real gem that i shall for sure revisit from time to time

until ep 2? i'm at ep 13 now, and Kim Nam Gil still around - reading ur comment was sure (cause he a gangster) he got killed early on - he still alive and kicking ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ just saying...

well i didn't like the hurt look on Kuzumi's face, cause he understood that smile - which btw considering how Kido treated Kajima afterwards - what he got to smile about? or was it just remembering that instance, then i get it i guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

this was so short - heck miniscule, that it's left me with a "WTF was the point even of making this" feel - if this was a set-up for a 2nd season yippy! but it doesn't seem so, and we kinda get from the ending of Mood Indigo, that these 2 end up together - as in cohabitate.
so i ask again, why?!? yeah it u got a lot of bang for a buck, and totally happy to see Kuzumi's smiling, happy face, also happy to see a less manipulative Kijima - but left me a bit miffed, as i know this is it - the end (¬‿¬)(¬_¬ ) meeh

this was depressingly, interesting and yet confusing - as is half-way through i had a feeling this gonna get a sad/bad ending for all involved - so maybe the fact that the ending was not "bad" (as in no one died or got hurt) should've elevated this feeling of dread - but considering Ryu more or less got a price on his head, and he still in Japan is worrying - cause he doesn't seem like he has anyone to rely on and the only way to support himself, is by selling his body - so how hard will it be to find him?!? kinda discouraging - doesn't leave u with a "it can be a positive end" type of feel -

but was wondering why Bae Hwan decided not to take Ryu along? did he feel (especially when u see him coming out of his hotel room and almost knocking on Ryu's room) that he wanted more and considering the wife and child back home, he changed his mind and decide not to test fate?!?

donno about attacking him - but him sending the pic to Bae Hwan, was showing him "this is who Ryu is" - as Bae Hwan didn't know they slept together already - he just though when he walked in on them kissing that was the first time...

pretty grim, but in that day and age nowhere was "great" to be gay, let alone a country like China - so this wasn't shocking, just sad. as i doubt the MC was into pain and S&M, he just got used to it, as he though being in a relationship with a man entailed getting beaten up and abused, used as a punching-bag to vent their frustrations in life. so looking for love meant not only the joy, but the pain that logically came with - basically sad

wait if this has only 7 ep's and the 7th has already aired - why the countdown?!? confused

seeing as this is only one ep i'm guessing - hoping, that this is a preexist to season 3?? anyone have more info??

the description made me click and beginning credits made me break out in a extreme smile (had to stop and come write this) so Meow Meow Boss is Ray Chang - u know Pei Shou Yi [School doctor] from We Best Love: No. 1 For You. like is there anyone more fitting?!? come on!! dude was the personification of a pissed-off pussy hmmm cat (¬‿¬)(¬_¬ ) in WBL and i didn't even get it (for 2 seasons) until this sec. me thinks i'ma enjoy the pants off this

in the J-version there r no kids

thanx for the inadvertent recommend, like u loved the first ep of this drama - but waiting for the 2nd ep to be subbed is (⊙_⊙;)... so cause of ur comment, found Nishiogikubo Mitsuboshi Youshudou - which watching the 1st ep already know got something new to binge on - that i'm totally enjoying - so TY again (*°▽°*)╯

thank u for this - been searching and couldn't find it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

for someone who couldn't finish the 1st ep of "Tale of the Nine-Tailed" and is still curious about this - should i Even give this a go? as in - do i need to watch Tale of the Nine-Tailed for back info so this will be understandable? **** anyone???

this drama was made for a 70th anniversary celebration of something - shouldn't it be more - i donno - lighthearted, uplifting, hope filled - anything but this depressing, disheartening mess - and with All due respect to realism and being true to life - who doesn't know that real life sucks-ass?!??? anyone??? that's why we freakin lose ourselves in dramas and movies, to keep reality at bay (•_•) aish
this is down right horrendous - even the miniscule hope we had at the start of this has died and turned into dust a while back... this is just beating a dead horse ( ´･･)ﾉ(._.`) 2 more ep's to go, 2 more (T_T)

well thank u for checking :) and ok - i will agree that Ko was hurt and also agree that it is hard for anyone to stay close to the person they love and can't have - especially when they in a new relationship - that just unnecessary pain, so i get the realism in that plot - but as i mentioned (somewhere) Teng didn't befriend Ko with an ulterior motives and he was genuinely confused why his friend ghosted him - that hurt and mattered to him, so much so he was doing everything to confront Ko so they could clear the air and get back to being friends - the least Ko should've done as he did have an ulterior motive from the word go, was to be up-front with Teng.
at least then Teng would back off and also get his own head-on-straight (as i also mentioned somewhere) had a feeling Teng was in the closet and just not ready to come out, and maybe an adult conversation - a confession - explanation would start him thinking about what he really wanted, let alone whom.

about the sex - maybe the word force was over-kill, but Teng acted totally passive towards a drunk Ko's "pushing" and yeah it was a bad, moronic move on a couple of levels - it shouldn't have happened and i blame more the writing then the character's - as Thai BL writers love their "...he was drunk, so that's basically an invite for sex.."

well, like u (kinda lol) started watching this cause of XWZ (saw him in addicted) and unlike u, aint a sports fan - but this was interesting and made well enough, that for the majority of it connected with the character's and how hard they were working towards their goals...

for me this started to fall short, when they introduced the girls - and i get they were trying to show every aspect of a players life, which includes romance - but it was boring and just took away from the story - for me.

i'm sticking out of curiosity, cause i kinda fell out of love with almost all of the character at one ep or the other - and lately just spend time fast-forwarding anything with any of the gf's in it - so every ep is pretty short.

this could've been so much more and its a bit of a let down - them wanting this drama to be too real, is kinda destroying it - but there r always some bits that redeem the ep - like in the last one, where Su Chun matured enough to get that Tan aint his enemy or that his brother should stay away from Jia Yu. or his brother own break-down and realization, at how when he wasn't even on top, he looked down on Tan and now where each one is in their lives.. that's what's keeping me watching -

no - Ko got angry at Teng cause the potion didn't work and then just ghosted him, even though Teng didn't get why he was ghosted and tried to find out - when he did, he still tried to keep the friendship going. but Ko wasn't interested.
he got drunk and his friends called Teng and - sorry but how watching that ep u can say that Teng had sex with him (as if he planed it, is beyond me) when it was obvious that Ko more or less forced Teng - who just went along with it (yeah not a stellar move - but not calculated).
yeah sorry i don't get how u can come to the conclusions u did, after watching what i did - so lets agree to disagree, cause i can't see what ur seeing.

haven't read the others answers to ur Q, but here my two bits... as someone who doesn't like any of the character's Earth has portrayed to date - this is much better. as i tend to drop every drama of his, i was skeptical and the 1st ep was shaky - but stuck it out and binged until ep 6 and i'm enjoying this - looks like he's matured and his character isn't grating - but enjoyable - and the plot is interesting so if u got time to kill yeah.. as its only 10eps not that big of an investment ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
edited add on: just finished and the last 3 ep's killed this for me - so if i have to answer again honestly, i wouldn't watch this

obvious and redundant as they started this off with him suffering from a debilitating, knee injury that made Lei give him resignation papers - so get were r supposed to see the up-hill-battle... still angering and annoying to watch - and for sure hard not to comment on
