I really like how the relationships are being handled. The way the second couple is dealing with the emotions…
"They may just put things on hold until Hui graduates from high school and starts college." Why would they do this? The student is already 18 and about to graduate.
I have seen some strange comments here and elsewhere about the speed with which Xing and Lu Hui fall in love,…
BRAVO. Well-said as always, B. I haven't read the comments below yet, but now I'm looking forward to them. We both know MDL is populated by a wildly prudish SJWs, desperate to be offended by all things sexual; it's that sad, retrograde pre-1960s sexual hypocrisy coming back, apparently. Sad.
If my normal friends asked me to show them a couple of shows to help them get an idea of why I love BL so much, this would not be one of them. It is becoming increasingly juvenile and stupid. The I'm -rushing-home-to-take-care-of-my-cat-as-though-it-were-a-human-being-and-I'll-forget-my-phone-so-as-to-cause-miscommunication-and-angst plot line is beyond stupid. Not calling the little BF immediately is even stupider. How is this coffee shop going to survive, considering it's not located on a sidewalk, and is nowhere near a street with any foot traffic? How does the girl not know the teacher is gay? Hello? The acting has become more wooden with each episode; also it seems they're delivering their lines more stiffly and with ten-second pauses between lines of conversation, in the familiar Thai style of BL dialogue delivery. The teacher pedophile and nine-year-old student couple kiss like their lips are super-glued shut when they are standing up, but in the earlier bed scene, there was some actual, open-mouthed kissing...I guess the prone/naked thing got them loosened up and carried away.
The only semi-good acting has come from the coffee dude and his dead wife.
Oveall, my rating-to-come is lowering as the number of episodes goes up. Time for the creation of a new BL category to got with TOOT (Turd Out Of Thailand) and TOOK (Turd Out of Korea): TOOTW (Turd Out Of TaiWan).
Terrible movie. Started out possibly intriguing, then went to implausible, then to stupid, then to hilariously bad. If you are given the choice of watching this thing or killing yourself, take the latter option. The young mistress actress apparently attended the same academy of acting as did IU. Like IU, this one has one, dead expression 95% of the time.
More plot holes and stupidities than you can imagine.
Meh. Dropping at about 35 minutes. I was forcing myself to stick with it...not a good sign. Maybe more interested in the way it is telling the story than in the story itself: Repeated flashbacks, black and white to color and back again, etc. Bored. Your mileage may differ.
Lol, you say the guy who is abusive, neglectful, controlling and just an ass to Sei is actually loving him? Only…
Sure, Bora, whatever you say, Baby. If you could read you'd know that I have never insisted anyone HAS to share my opinion. I am not on MDL to gain your or anyone else's "respect."
It's funny though, that almost every time I get in an extended discussion with someone like you I receive a new sprinkling of friend requests. So please keep the replies coming. It's fun watching my MDL friends total go up and up. :)
What an uplifting, enjoyable ride with a cast of wonderful young actors doing their best.
The film has its faults and could have been improved in quite a few ways. However, and I am pretty damn picky, this movie has what a lot of much more technically proficient and somewhat better-acted movies do not, and that is HEART. Despite its shortcomings, I cared about these kids and their coach and that makes all the difference.
Park Hee Soon is his awesome self, though it was cool to see him enjoy himself in a markedly un-glamorous role. He's great. Ko Chang Seok is his usual rock of Korea too.
I'm bummed that the film ended where it did without taking us through the entire tournament, but whatever...

Please let me know.
I'd like to shoot for 100%.
A lot of MDLers hate me, so it's nice to hear from one who doesn't. :D
