This may seem silly, but can someone please tell me what Jaabs actual job is? Because I think he works for a production company, but its almost like he's a creative that's designing the ads, but I thought that was what Jeng's team was for? Or is he a director - I know its such a silly thing to get hung up on, but I just can't stop thinking about it!

I was really excited for this, but if I have to pick between this and 23.5 I am WAY more excited for that!

I’m pretty sure they were - but maybe my hopeful thinking made me delusional 😂

I really wasn’t feeling that excited for Bad Buddy, after all these rumours about OhmNanon not getting along anymore, but that little trailer changed everything - all my nostalgia for that series came back and I’m now so excited! They still feel like PratPran and I can’t wait for them to be back on my screen.

People are saying they think that (like Akaso Eiji in Cherry Magic) Inukai Atsuhiro has a "no kiss clause" in his BL contracts. If that is true - to be honest this drama would be one of the cases I'm ok with that, because it is such a gorgeous and wonderful drama. Yes, the kiss is a beautiful moment in the manga, but as long as the emotions are right for the scene I'll be okay with no kiss. And as I said it's just people speculating - who knows? There could be a kiss - anyway the angle of the kiss in ep7 is exactly how it was drawn in the manga!

Japanese BLs may not always have the highest budget or production quality, but one thing they consistently do better than any other country is their characters. And I have to say the characters in this drama are the most beautiful characters I've watched so far. I truly love every single one of them and their interactions with each other are so special. I'm so attached to them and care so much about them. There's no way this isn't going to be one of my favourite Japanese BLs.

Thank you so much for your reply! You’ve made me even more intrigued and excited!

Woah! Ahn Bo Hyun lost 17 pounds for this role - really changes his appearance - is there a reason for that referenced in the manhwa or is it just a character choice?

I always drop Cdramas around episode 15-20 - I always find they start to get boring. I’ve been watching dramas for 5 years now and I’ve only managed to finish 5 cdramas in that time! But this is the only one I didn’t want it to end! it’s such a fun story, with a lead couple overflowing with chemistry! I hope one day I’ll find other cdramas I love as much as this one!

I think you are right. But I’d almost be more excited to see Gemini and Fourth starring in a new BL as new characters together in 2024 - I’ll be keeping my fingerscrossed in December when they announce all their upcoming series - considering how popular they are it would be a shame not to use them in a new series, but it is GMMTV and as we are all aware they’re known for sometimes not using their most popular pairings for some strange reason. Atleast we definitely have them in 23.5!

I’m kind of obsessed that they really said - every single theory that fans had that didn’t end up being canon is now true in this universe! Like Gun being the first to have feelings and tiwpor secretly dating the whole times - it’s like they took notes and are giving us everything we asked for…not a continuation of the story, but I’m actually surprisingly happy with this!

A summary for a drama hasn’t intrigued me this much for a while. Definitely will be adding this to my list!

kinda prefer Ho Yeon for Seung Jun! their relationship seems better developed than the leads in my opinion and he seems to genuinely be there for him as a supporting and helpful person in his life - im just not a fan of this weird instantly obsessive behaviour that Jae Hyun is doing.

I wasn’t going to watch this because towards the end I lost a bit of interest in the first series, but am I hearing that Lee Rang gets a proper and developed romance arc this series!?…I may justhave to watch it now!!!

yes! he was so charming in the Be My Favourite trailer- I feel like they were letting Gawin actually shine and show all his strengths. it also looks like quite a raw and emotional performance which we already know he can really do from Not Me. So proud of my GMMTV bias!

oh my goodness! that trailer was so beautiful! Gawin was so so charming - like he always is! I’m so happy after so many years he’s the lead in a series - he seems to be doing killing it from the trailer. And I have no strong opinions on Krist - I didn’t like his character in SOTUS back in the day and I’ve not seen him in anything since, but to me he seems really likeable in this role. I’m surprised that they actually have chemistry too! And the direction looks to be at the brilliant standard we are used to from this director. I’ve been a little excited for this since finding out who the director is but after that trailer my excitement is through the roof!
Also just look at that poster! It’s so so pretty!

Yes! That’s exactly who I’m thinking of - as I said I don’t think he’s a bad actor, but he is a newer actor and in my opinion this role doesn’t really suit him.

This is just so beautiful, perfect, amazing and wonderful. I love this so much. It’s such a special drama where every single aspect works together to create this beautiful warm and healing drama! I was a little unsure of it after episode 1 but after that these characters have completely stolen my heart. As I’ve already said: I LOVE THIS!

it’s weird I feel like this drama could be good - but I just think that there’s been so much time and attention on other characters/storylines that the lead couples story doesn’t really work - especially when this drama has such a short run time - I know it’s an adaptation but maybe cut a character if you don’t have time left to explore the growth of the leads relationship. I also feel like the casting just doesn’t fit (that’s not to say that these leads are bad actors at all) but sometime actors just don’t fit certain roles and the character ends up feeling a bit strained or awkward because it just doesn’t fit the actor - I personally feel that’s what’s happened here with the leads which contributes to why I don’t really get their characters or feel their chemistry- this drama isn’t working for me for a mixture of reasons but I feel those may be the big ones. In my opinion it’s not terrible, but it’s also not good.

I have a feeling this will be dead fish kissing BUT I also feel that the story, acting and chemistry will be so good I won’t care and it’ll still be amazing anyway!
