YES it is!

Respect must be earned.

I don't give s**t what can you're listening to or how loud it is. And if you're hearing voices from your screen while reading comments, see a shrink.

Beyond that, I'll write what I want when I want, as many times as I want.
Another thing I don't give a s**t about is what you think of that.

Consider deleting these two most recent comments along with the other ones from earlier. You sound dumber with each comment you leave.

You deleted your other comments, making this one irrelevant.

What about it is "weird," the incest or the age gap?

I boycott China across the board. Screw them and their gay-bans. Their "censored BLs" are moronic and insulting.

Don't you think it's a bit much to assume because LiLi wears shorts to go out, she's also going to do crack and turn tricks before she goes home? Being wise and protective is one thing. Irrationally projecting your psycho mom's behavior onto your adorable little sister is another.

Don't forget...WBL: Fighting Mr. 2nd was an abortion.

I'm of the opinion one should wait until the end of a series to rate it, or MDL should make it possible to rate individual episodes. How does one rate a series one has seen three out of 12 episodes of?

Because it's MDL, the home of prudery, PC, SJWs, and American LGs with bad taste.

Now THIS is quality BL.
Top-tier so far.
Excellent acting/direction across the board.
Great cinematography/lighting set design.
It's nice to have Taiwan back in the winner's circle, after its last few stinkers.

Plus, I'm always on board for a good age-gap/incest drama! :)

Someone's a little cranky.
I'll write what I want as many times as I want.
Thanks though.

One of my top ten favorite gay-themed, Asian films.
Beautiful and heartbreaking.
Hwang Jung Min is extraordinary.
Considering this was made 21 years ago, his taking on this role was a brave thing to do.
Jung Chan is perfection too, just not quite as much the focus as HJM.
Their interaction/chemistry/commitment to the characters is remarkable.
Bravo!

Endings like this to gay films often piss me off. Not sure why this one doesn't.

9.5/10

I would have rated it a C but the + was for Kai's sweetness, calm demeanor, and wide shoulders.

I gave it a 7.5/10 or C+. I'll forget about it in a couple of weeks too.

I will never understand why so many BL watchers are satisfied with plots that meander. No extremes one way or the other, just mild, low-key drama stuck in the middle spaces.

lol

Very cute/sweet ending.
That might be the best Japanese BL smooch I've seen.
Kai is sweet.
This is another good one for all the BL fans who are scared of sex.
Overall, I can't say I'll remember this series in a couple of weeks or ever rewatch it.
I would recommend it, but only mildly.
The very last 30 seconds were kind of odd. Felt like a lame way to tie things up, them just sitting on the back of the couch waiting for the director to yell "cut!"

7.5/10

Looks aside, Soga is awkward, hesitant, dorky, nerdy, etc. And there really is NO chemistry.

Beautifully said. I would only disagree in that I found this episode to be the worst so far.

Soga has had 8 of 10 episodes for his character to "develop." If that's not enough, it ain't gonna happen.
