Where did the video we see ChanGyu viewing at the beginning come from? Did the ex send it to him? Did he stumble across it some other way? So Min Cheol was a call boy, yes? Or maybe still is? If not, why isn't he picking up the phone in front of CG? The back of the caricature...do I understand that MC originally had it made for somebody else and was regifting it to CG? If "meet me at the church" means MC was once banging someone else at the church in the military... But that doesn't make sense if they're both going off to the military. You're only in for one time around...I don't get it. Or is only CG going off to the military?
Annoying as fuck when subbers don't sub texts, emails, or other written materials like the back of the caricature...
This is well acted, though of course, melancholy if I'm reading this correctly. Except that it is annoying af…

If someone better understands than I all that went down here, please fill me in, ok? :)
Are you f**king kidding me? This looks to be completely awesome. lol
I've only watched eps 1-3 on YT with eng subs. The versions that supposedly have stitched together all eps 1-10 are an audio/playback nightmare, completely unwatchable. The total of ten minutes I was able to watch are OFF THE CHART funny, witty, sexy (without anything the least bit sexual having happened yet...I can just feel it in the air though), beautifully directed, and well-produced.
The two leads are excellent in their portrayals...this needs to be fast-tracked as a full-blown series ASAP. The baby Yakuza hard-ass is a young version of one of Japan's best actors, Ayano Go, with fuller lips, which is a good thing. The wimpy corporate guy somehow pulls off nerdy/weak/hot.
omg...this so very deeply sucks. Terrible. Juvenile.
It's Thai-like, the worst of all possible BL things a show can be. I'm currently watching "See Our Love," and while it is out of Taiwan; it too showed Thai-like tendencies in episode 1. But it quickly shook them off and has become a truly great BL, unlike this monstrosity.
All of Japan should be on its knees, arms extended, head to the bamboo mat in shame, begging forgiveness for this dorky flop. I hate to see anything out of Korea, Japan, or Taiwan suck because with Thailand and the Philippines producing only crap, they are our only combined hope for decent BLs.
It isn't. This is the doctrine of the left, Kamala said it so many times you believe it. Without an us and them…
I'm American and a huge fan of Korean movies and cinema, and you're 100% correct that it is weird af to randomly bring up Kamala Harris here as if she or this Trumper's paranoid fantasies have anything to do with this issue.
That said, I wish the original actor, a fave of mine, had not withdrawn; though we have no way of knowing if his doing so had anything at all to do with the content of the adaptation. Actors pull out of projects (and people) all the time.
Kim Nam Gil as one of your long lasting foreign fans who absolutely adores you, since your debut. Thank you for…
You have no idea why he withdrew. Likely because he just didn't want the hassle of dealing with people like you.
He played the closeted gay, engaged to a woman, lover of a male prostitute in my second fave film of all time, "No Regret." I assume you're aware of that. So in your tiny universe, does that mean he APPROVES/SANCTIONS/PROMOTES/CONDONES gay men getting engaged to women, then falling in love with and f**king male hustlers?
Idea: The entire Korean entertainment industry, in all forms, media, whatever; and all the artists, producers, staff, crew, of all kinds anywhere, should draw up a unified statement consisting of one sentence: "WE APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE." All signing parties would be legally obligated to provide no other response to complaints of any kind.
Every movie, drama, painting, song, dance, whatever would attach a link to this statement online.
Episodes 6-8: Unbelievable, how I've gone from eye-rolling the first ep to completely engrossed, teary-eyed, and gut-laughing at this thing. Perhaps more so than any BL I've seen before.
Just excellent acting from Sean, SP, the assistant, the parents, freaking everyone. I'm even happy to see an honest-to-god evil fiance' show up. :)
Funniest line of the show: The assistant: "Prettier than me?" lol I think I woke the neighbors with my reaction to that one. :)
Episode 5: Man, this show sneaks up on my emotions over and over. The cute, clueless, harmless Yakuza boy is killing it. lol Loved it when, after his pathetic attempt to ambush the assistant in the parking lot, he flipped him off and ran away. hahaha Also love how all the boys are coming to the assistant's yard for his milkshake. :D SP's shoulders are as wide as he is tall.
The KinnPorsche silliness can be annoying but there is much to like here. I have laughed out loud numerous times. I have teared up several times, almost all for different reasons, which means the feels are coming from all directions: The developing MC relationship, the parents' care for their son, their care for each other, Sean's valid loneliness issues, and SP's combo of tenderness/vulnerability/toughness. A lot to like here.
Prior to episode 4, I was fantasizing a four-way with Sean, SP, and the assistant. However, now that's become a five-way with the cute, drunken, little Yakuza wannabe. :D
Good god, sometimes SP appears to be seven feet tall, as when he was carrying Sean on his shoulders. I checked actor Kim Yun's height out of curiosity; he's just six feet tall (I'm American, so that isn't unusual) but he towers over his fellow actors. I'm so used to Asian films, and to seeing Asian actors only in relation to one another, that I forget the difference in average height from East to West. lol I'll take a 4-foot Asian hottie over a 6-foot white guy any day, but it's funny how my perspective has changed in the four years I've been immersed in Asian cinema and series.
Recently, I watched a Korean flick with a lot of American characters and was shocked to see one of my fave Asian film actors, who I'd come to think of as roughly six feet tall, standing a head shorter than the Americans. :)
I don't think I've ever gone so quickly from rolling my eyes at a show in the first ep to oohing and aahing and laughing my ass off in the second. lol
I wet myself a little every time Sean says anything in English. He is charming af. I like that he talks like a douche but is so obviously not one. Defense mechanism developed during a lifetime of being the "useless second generation?" :D SP's height also causes moisture formation. The assistant has me wearing diapers. I have a thing for strong noses. The CEO assistant who wants SP but also lives at his house but is not his sister or cousin...that arrangement has me going "hmmm...."
Episode 1: Two things had me initially thinking I'd end up dropping this: 1. The overbearingly obnoxious, Thai BL-style OST with its never-ending melodramatic (think KinnPorsche) action movie music and its tinkling, cutesy (it's time to laugh everyone!) music underscoring every move intended to be amusing, and its schmaltzy music underlying each allegedly tender moment. Hey director, how about letting the script and the action speak for itself and stop cueing us to every emotion you want us to feel? 2. The everybody-is-gay from the beginning, living in an everybody-loves-gays candy-colored world thing.
Seven things made me change my mind: 1. The hotness/sexiness of the assistant. 2. The beauty and vibe of Sean. 3. The gentle/kickass vibe of Shao Peng. 4. The tallness of Shao Peng. 5. The sweetness, support, and hilarious interaction of SP's parents. 6. The height difference between SP and his dad. 7. Sean's intriguing bisexual (?) leanings and his amusing, smart-ass, entitled personality. I get the feeling he's in on the joke regarding his entitledness. 8. That last scene, which was intriguingly...odd/sexy. Why did SP ring the doorbell, then next second was in the shower, then next second was in the living room with Sean leering at him? Is he there as for a job interview as a caretaker or a call boy? Why did he take a shower at all? I'm not complaining either way, but...oh well, on to ep. 2 where hopefully I'll get an answer to that.

So Min Cheol was a call boy, yes?
Or maybe still is?
If not, why isn't he picking up the phone in front of CG?
The back of the caricature...do I understand that MC originally had it made for somebody else and was regifting it to CG? If "meet me at the church" means MC was once banging someone else at the church in the military...
But that doesn't make sense if they're both going off to the military. You're only in for one time around...I don't get it. Or is only CG going off to the military?
