the kidnapper, contrary to his rather humble demeanor/conduct, also has a high IQ presumably since he was chosen.

I was expecting a bit more from the twist that [spoiler below], but turned out to be insignificant (or perhaps a red-herring).

There are like 3-4 brain surgeries, a bit bloody.

Brainstem glioma

Emi's "More Than Words" is one of my favorite OSTs in GL alongside Pink Theory and Tilt.

But it does! The more often you check, the sooner it'll be released. We're all counting on you 🙏

According to 7 strangers, having only watched 1/8 of the show. Wouldn't put too much weight on it.

In episode 3 part 1, it is interesting that the siblings provide different responses to when Pam says that she has nothing [to offer].

Kawi tells her that he'll do whatever it takes for his family to accept her. This implicitly accepts that she indeed has nothing to offer. Then, when asked if he would defy his father if it came to it, he gives a noncommittal answer.

Rak, on the other hand, assures Pam that she has many good traits and that anyone who gets to know her will definitely fall for her charm.

They have different personalities, sure, and Pam says it in different (slightly) contexts. She indeed has nothing to offer in terms of wealth and connections. But how can she not fall in love with Rak?

The guy with the pellet gun was simply too cute

Yes, kinda. Both are action dramas set in high school, but the tone here is lighter and comedic.

If you mean the Weak Hero manhwa, then they are very similar.

Additional accessories in profile pictures are quite rare indeed. The most popular example is Chae Soo Bin for having a headband. Otherwise, it's usually directors/screenwriters or lesser-known actors who have hats or other accessories.

(Yes, I'm unemployed; how did you guess)

Thank you! I think the whole agency has a thing against the top of their models' head because every profile picture on that website is like that!

The representing agency's website has better images of the model: https://www.modeldirectors.com/global_artist/model_view.php?md_idx=203; I tried updating the cover image on here, but it was rejected as the face is not centered.

Good GLs are rare in itself, highschool GLs are rarer. If you don't mind reading/anime:

Adachi to Shimamura
Bloom into you
Futari Monologue (jdrama)
I favor the villainess
Koi Yori Aoku
Kimi to Tsuzuru Utakata
Sora & Haena
Whispering you a love song

I completed the manhua (s1; no news of s2) just today. If they stick to the source material, there's not much to censor I'm afraid.

I've watched Couple of Mirrors and I think yuri in this manhua is slightly more pronounced.

Slow but really good; would recommend

The previous cover image was better

I kinda had the same feeling watching the trailer

I had guessed it somehow, but I hadn't expected it to be revealed so soon. Perhaps premature.

Probably Teleparty (aka Netflix Party). But I have neither Netflix nor friends to confirm. Actually, it could also be UI they custom made for this drama (like the search engine and webpage in S1E7). Shows typically use fictional brands like WcDonald's to avoid trademark issues.
