ok this is so hot, i'm rewatching their scenes like crazy
i'm glad i started it after 7 eps went out and now ep 8 is waiting for me tomorrow 🤩
i'm curious if we will witness some kooky things in later eps, like some of you are hinting in the comments (i didn't read the novel)
recently i'm more and more amazed by chinese bls, they're cooking. cook some more pretty please!

honestly? I'm only looking forward for their hot scenes, because everything else is just boring, I'm fast forwarding or speeding up. Every flaw was already listed below in the comments, not much to add. Boat is hot, but their chemistry is not chemistrying like in My Stubborn so... well, i'm looking forward to fast forwarding next eps and enjoying Boat's delicious chest xddd

this series has no logical sense at all and the only way to enjoy it is by overlooking those holes and just going with the flow. The fights, characters, actors, story, those are great. And I'm going to read the webtoon now, since a lot of people recommended it here

I didn't see them studying in this school even once, not mentioning any person that could be a potential teacher stopping kids from beating each other to death

It looks more like a facility where juvenile offenders gather every day

This series was awesome

my thought exactly

something similar? with this level of maturity, professionalism, acting - honestly i don't know. I've watched tons of bls and can't think of anything. A bit of a stretch, but maybe: I told sunset about you, My beautiful man, Where your eyes linger, My Personal weatherman, Advance Bravely (but its not a bl per se).
Maybe someone will have better recommendations

And special thanks to the king of Thailand Vajiralongkorn, and his whole family and friends, and to the people of Thailand

This is just so professionaly shot and every scene is deliberate, I couldn't breath half of this episode... Literally. But at the same time I kept appreciating how carefully thought out it all is. It's so rare in BL's and I'm so so happy to be able to experience this masterpiece from gmmtv, it's their best show by far (though we’ll see what the next episodes bring). The actors perform with their eyes, gazes, faces. And they do it brilliantly. The dialogue is restrained, and the characters don’t talk just for the sake of talking - words are used here as a complement to the emotions conveyed through the visuals, not as a tool to explain the plot or what's going on in characters' heads - we know what they feel because we see it. I'm still confused and in shock because the brilliance of it took me off guard, I totally didn't expect it to be THIS GOOD.

Producers, directors - watch this masterpiece and learn.

Ur right, i didn't notice it... I guess it's one of the things that make it more artsy

"Every word and image is intentional" - on point. We humans feel intentionality rather than see it, because we are great at recognizing patterns. I think that intentional movie/series leaves u thinking: "That couldn’t have been any other way". It feels like it was designed rather than just assembled.

Yeah I've watched Moonlight Chicken and Not Me and I agree that those were great, but this one ep in my opinion is even better when it comes to things I described. I genuinely felt like I was watching some art movie project, not another bl from gmmtv. If it's the same director - hands down, because she's definitely getting better and better at her job and has the urge to constantly learn and improve and be inspired by different kinds of cinema.

Is it possible that GMMTV is actually improving?
The cinematography in here is top notch. Long shots in which the characters actually do something (and it's also meaningful), long shots of the eyes/gazes (which is very powerful for us viewers, eyes are what connects us and draws our attention the most), very well chosen angles, lighting, music that is chosen wisely and boldly... things that are present in a high standard movies. I'm suspecting some really talented production team worked on this. It's different from their previous works and I'm loving it so much.
Also I noticed their bold decisions - like the screaming scene or showing what Jira saw not by showing it directly but through his drawing = through his mind. Those small but impactful decisions create what we call art in cinematography. Everything in this opening episode is so well directed and subtle. I'm proud of GMMTV right now.
Can't wait for the next episode...

Ok this is one of the best BL series I've watched in a while and I'm so happy it exists... Love horror themes mixed with romance. I don't care if anyone here lacks acting skills or not - I'm enjoying it so much.
It's painful to wait for another episode just give it to me NOW

And now I have to wait a whole week?! I felt like this ep wasn't even real. That's how short it was.

I actually didn't realise it until their conversation on a bridge while looking at an ad xd

i know what u mean. wanted to watch it but was put off by the ml, idk, this fake punk doesnt even suit him in the slightest

I didn't expect to like it this much 😂 can't wait for the next ep!
Give us a proper Jet x bodyguard romance, pretty please? 🙏

are you some official marketer of this show or something? because I see u defending it under every comment xd

You know what the irony is? When characters are too realistic they often feel flat. we viewers love over-the-top personalities and strong contrasts in shows - that’s what makes them engaging and entertaining. It’s like with makeup: subtle details disappear under stage lights or on screen, so everything has to be stronger, just as characters in film are often more exaggerated and contrasted to be truly visible to the audience

I said that the games were creative and good this season. When it comes to the characters, no, it's not that the old ones should come back but rather those new ones should be more deep and interesting. But apart from that this season shouldn't happen in the first place. S2 ending was complete
