Wow, you two are...never mind. Consider me nonexistent.

Thanks.

Min Jun does have an interesting face. I didn't particularly like it at first, but as with many faces I end up finding perfectly beautiful, his grew on me with each episode. I love the shape of his nose.

No, honey, THAT is a symptom of obsession. A person can be obsessive AND depressed at the same time.

Oh dear. Another psycho...never mind.

Hi Psycho Cindy. Please take your meds and stop replying to me.

Exactly. I don't get why MDL BL members have such a hard time using the points below 7 on a 1-10 scale. They are there for a reason.

Blueming is my number one fave BL. I thought I was the only one...I don't even want to think about how the hell this is supposed to be a "parent story." wth? I wish they'd make an actual sequel to Blueming.

omg...lol I almost slashed my wrists over the awfulness that is Ocean Likes Me. That bleach blonde, anorexic singer whose mouth hangs open drove me nuts. And the other guy is actually a fair actor, or so I thought previously.

NO! Especially this last episode when they stood facing each other outside the library. I prayed they would say together "Oh...f**k DBW...let's you and I hook up!" Then, they would go off to the dorm and bang like bunnies, and we would get to watch.

lol Well said.

Episode 8/Epilogue: lol Terrible/kill me now bad.

No human being who has been in love with another person for years, has spent each day pining and longing for them, could stand looking into that person's face, hear them say the words you've longed to hear and then kiss you (with THOSE lips), without falling to pieces, embracing them back and kissing them with all your heart, your tongue in their stomach. That's just a fact.
This show is:
Boring.
Stupid.
Boring.
Poorly written.
Boring.
Poorly directed.
Boring.

What has happened to KBL?

I kept watching only for Ji Hun's sparkly personality, laugh, smile, and especially, those LIPS.

6/10 Every point is for Ji Hun.

Awesome! Your comment is so inviting now. :) I'm going to read it again.

Psst...watch out, this Cynthia person is a whack job.
The number of exclamation points used is always a give-away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Episode 7: lol
The old BL saw, "I finally get the love I wanted from you, but YOU ONLY PITY ME, isn't that true?!!!!" trope. hahaha Lame af.

There is no reason, none, that these two handsome, intelligent, sweet young men would both be in love with the odd-duck, personality-free Do Ba Wu.

I said: This is a 3/10 at best.

Oh man...you're a nut. Please pretend I never replied to you.
Thanks.

Anyone else here lusting after Jin Su, the office intern?
I kept hoping he and MJ would hook up.

I'm of two minds about what you said. Yes, he can be dull to look at, but consider: When he see him looking that way, he is almost always looking at JH, with whom he is always on-guard for reasons we know. Secondly, he is a depressed person. A common symptom of depression is a lack of affect, the very monotonous, flat expression you speak of.

ooh...well put.
Maybe more like a light snack without salt or pepper.
Costumes/sets were bland, too; everything shades of beige, gray, off-white.
I'll assume that was deliberate, but it only emphasized that there wasn't anything flavorful going on in the story.

"Do we not deserve BLs with actual plot? Thrillers? Detectives, action? Hell, medical dramas? "

I don't disagree that this show was a failure. However, if what you're after is thrillers/detectives/action/Yakuza/murder/etc., and I like those things too, wouldn't it be wise to seek them out in feature films that have the budget to do them justice? BL is not, by its traditional nature, equipped to handle the elements you mention. Almost everyone I've seen try to do so came off as silly and low-rate.

I know of several good-quality, gay-themed feature films that include the elements you're seeking. Let me know if you want the suggestions.

"Boys Love" has the words Boys and Love in it because that is what it is primarily about.

Just my view, take it or leave it. All best to you.

I enjoyed reading your comment. I found much within it to agree with and to ponder. I too, am ambivalent about this show. It addressed some intriguing issues surrounding memory, but in my view, the writers/director made a mess of it.

I have a suggestion. Please know this is offered in the best possible spirit of friendliness. I do not wish to offend you. But...please consider breaking your comment up into paragraphs where the thought transitions...it would be so much easier to read and do justice to what you have written here. Also, a lot of people skip over comments written in a block like this. Hell, a lot of commenters here skip over anything more than two or three sentences. lol

Anyway, thought I'd throw that out there. Thanks again for your wise and thoughtful post.
