I hope there's a special episode with their domestic life full of lovey dovey moments because that ending is good…
You and I are from different planets: I hope the special episode is with their domestic life spent banging the daylights out of each other, with me getting to watch every moment.
Did they just round up with no kiss? And Jakai seems to be the top, Color me surprised 😮
hmmm...how do you conclude that Jakai has top energy...? Really...? I was thinking the opposite earlier on, but as it turned out, no one had top OR bottom energy... 😧
Their chemistry was fun and I loved the concept for the show. I do think the first half of the series was the…
I thought about that afterward, too: Despite clear sexual chemistry and the living-together portion setting up sexual tension, their only kiss was the result of booze and nothing hot came of it. 😭
Hmm, cute but rather unremarkable which is unfortunate cos the concept was really so interesting. But the threads…
Agree about the threads, which going in, I feared would be a stupid thing, but which I found myself captivated by, getting sidelined as an afterthought.
You're too immature for a story about multilayered humans with flaws.
So, you're against people learning from their mistakes and having a change of heart, then? You'd prefer people keep repeating their mistakes, not learning from them, and not having a change of heart, then?
Cute, often sweet, but not nearly as good as it could have been. The ending was a dud; there was no feeling of revelation/conclusion/climax...it just...ended with some heart-shaped fireworks...meh.
The leads have great chemistry. Bruce Chiu is inarguably adorable, but for me, Liu Yu Ren is the standout here. His acting is subtle and authentic-feeling. I loved watching his face/eyes/body indicate that he was thinking/deliberating/reacting instead of leaping to his next line; I saw a lot of this in the show, actually and it must be credited to the director. For the most part, characters act and speak quite naturally, something I appreciate, as nothing takes me out of a plot faster than bad line delivery/lack of inner thought/etc. (I'm looking at you, Thailand)
Am I to conclude that Chia Kai is somewhere on the Autism spectrum? He seemed occasionally childlike and frequently walked in an odd, baby-step fashion I wasn't sure what to make of.
As Chiang Chao Nan, Lin Da Her had me lol-ing throughout the series. What an original character and funny actor he is. Which moves me to compliment much of the comedic writing, which was welcome as the rest of the script was often wanting.
As is too often the case with 12-episode BLs, eight tight episodes would have been better.
Recommended for a sweet, brainless watch and for two leads who I look forward to seeing more of. 7.5/10
As Ga Min, Hwang Min Hyun is seriously impressive at switching personas back-and-forth from mild-mannered nerd to badass superhero. This show is cathartic af. I need to watch ten more like this to heal the trauma I've sustained watching high school bully dramas/flicks (that I love for god knows what reason).
Episodes 5 & 6: Damn...even in close-ups, DoHyeon looks like a Manhwa illustration. Great casting.
This is a great example of emotional blackmail: "If you don't give me exactly what I want, I won't just back off from pushing romance and treat you neutrally; I will openly treat you as a non-entity for all to see."
I really like the gay friend. He has been an open ear for Eunho, hasn't pushed him to return feelings, and is reliably kind to him. So, naturally, Eunho pines for the emotional abuse he is used to from DH. This is codependency, not love.
I'm actually sad to see that reunion; it's not good for Eunho. But, I'm happy to see characters in a Korean BL kiss with believable passion.
This has the melancholy tension I'm often drawn to in Korean BLs.
Yes, the Koreans are the undisputed kings of pop (closely followed by excellent J-pop), but they're a total flop…
Coming from someone who sees badly dubbed, over-the-top Chinese BL melodramas starring lipstick Lesbians in male leads as the peak of the genre's perfection, your low opinion of Korea's efforts becomes a compliment.
Episode 5: Hell, they're taking this development better than I am...after that much time to be freely intimate in every way, in and out of bed, separation would be traumatic. I was already doing the same with my couch pillows when Sui attacked the giant Teddy Bear. 😭 Sui's tantrums are adorable.
Episode 6: I very much like that the plot/writers tackled the issue that beautiful/handsome people often encounter: that of their looks being the only/primary thing about them that other people see and judge them by, often assuming them to be less than bright.
My best friend in college had this problem, and it was a real thing. He was smart, funny, and sweet, but what people noticed and judged him by was how handsome he was. He would readily have traded some of his exterior beauty for the opportunity to be taken as seriously as anyone else.
Other than that, the only memorable, above-average aspect of this show is Gennosuke's screen presence, acting talent, and commitment to kissing another dude. The other lead not so much. Other than Mayama's generosity of spirit, which isn't THAT overwhelming; I mean, he's not out healing the sick and feeding the poor, I've seen nothing to explain why Asamiya is falling at his feet. The attraction feels entirely forced as a plot device.

Child, you too are immature.
Good for you! 😂🤣

THE MOM KIX ASS! 😮😧🫨
And it feels a tad insulting to get one ep per week.
I haven't read the web novel this is based on.
What, was I afraid of catching it from my ghost passengers..? 😂

Were the people in your dreams not social-distancing? 😁(Sorry, I had to.)
