Episodes 1-3: "Lu Fan, grow a spine, will you?" THANK YOU. I've been thinking those very words since ten minutes into episode 1.
What is it with these willowy, breathless, uber-feminine Chinese bottoms? This is like watching Double Helix all over again. Can anyone recommend Chinese BLs with masculine bottoms, or are they all this way.
You seem lost and don't understand the story. Maybe you're skipping too many parts. It's simple: he withdrew for…
It is written in the 10 Commandments of BL that when you want to protect your beloved from harm by leaving, you MUST inflict the maximum trauma by not telling them what's going on and simply vanish.
Episode 2: No, no, no, boys...it's much too early for that. Driving in neutral for a whole year, then lurching to 100 miles per hour overnight is a recipe for disaster.
Episode 1: The idea that two young gay men, or a straight couple for that matter, would date for an entire year without so much as a kiss is absurd. Unless both are asexual, I suppose, but that's unlikely.
Have the MDL scolds shown up here yet to freak out over the age gap?
Episode 3: When episodes are being released weekly, ones in which not all that much happens are frustrating. I know some important developments took place, but nothing exciting. If I could go on immediately to 4 I wouldn't mind. I know...I can choose to binge.
Take as long as you need. I'm just glad you responded. It's a melancholy flick, that's for sure, and no one comes out unscathed. But I like that the ending is open, and I can surely imagine Wataru showing up again.
After all, he's somewhat of a masochist. He knew the mess he was getting into from the start, and just kept relentlessly pursuing Kiyochi. By film's end, I had decided both were massively messed up in the head and no way would this work without major therapy for both, too.
Overall, I like this flick a lot. Angst, suffering, cheating, deception, all those juicy things and more, are my fave movie behaviors. :) Of course, as with anything else, the key is HOW the story is told. Because, as the old saying goes, nothing is original and every story has already been told.
because of limited budget that's why the story is summarized and compressed. by reading the novel, i get to understand…
I'm sorry. You're right; I am hotheaded, and I apologize.
That said, I see comments like that all the time on MDL. People will write, "Here's what's going to happen next. I know because I read the Manhwa" or whatever. Drives me nuts. :P
There was a commenters' cult on the page of BL "KinnPorsche" that traumatized me. They were led by their queen, some b***h named "Mimi" something. She would go on and on about how this that and the other thing were going to happen because she'd read the novel. Her minions would swarm around her in comments, eating up every word, but then most of the stuff she predicted did not come to pass. I pointed this out to her, she and I went at it, then she blocked me. lol

Are you one of the MDLers who believe adaptations should be line-by-line recreations of their source material? If material in the adaptation is not understandable from other material provided in the adaptation, the writers and director have failed at their job.
Otherwise, there should be an announcement at the beginning of every drama and film based on another source saying, "Do not watch this production until after you have read the play/book/Manhwa on which it is based. If you fail to do so, your inability to understand this story is on YOU."
75-90% of film/drama adaptation audiences have NOT read the source material. This is true even in cases such as the Harry Potter or Hunger Games films and sequels.
P.S. Do you freak out when changes and cuts are made to an adaptation of which you have read the source material?
These episodes were so good! The preview for the next episode 👀 I’m so excited for them to talk and see what…
Everything you said times ten. :) They are well-cast and are doing a great job under excellent direction.
In the shower scene, did you catch Chaeha's foot inching its way on top of Taeseon's? I love director's touches like that that take things to another level.
Chaeha is reacting intensely for both reasons, but primarily for the second. In light of how their relationship has developed he probably suspects Taeseon has been playing him for the romance just to torture and humiliate him more when he inevitably found out.

Handsome brother coming up in 4.
I was teasing them. :)
Goodbye and take care.
