I just really hope the friendship between the 2 male leads is as deep, layered and beautiful as it was in the original, because there was a certain scene with them that made me cry more than I've maybe ever cried at during a drama. It's just one thing I really hope they carry over from the original - the 3 leads have a confusing relationship, but at its core its this really powerful and wonderful friendship - I just hope that's built and its not just the romantic drama they deliver on here.
WOAH! In my opinion that first episode was INCREDIBLE! I love the enemies-lovers trope and this is serious enemies-lovers - I'm thrilled! I've always thought Perth a good actor, but I've never seen him in a role like this and he was really intimidating here - I am so excited to see how this series continues from here! My most anticipated GMMTV series never end up being my favourites, but this is my favourite beginning to a GMMTV drama so far this year!
I have been wanting to watch this for ages, but after hearing how bad the subs are I decided to wait a bit, but it looks unlikely the subs will ever improve - are they really that bad?
In my opinion as far as direction and cohesive storytelling goes My Only 12% was by far New’s best series yet. But the teasers for this are looking really really beautiful - they could be coming for My Only 12%’s spot! New can create seriously average series, but every now and then he makes something so special!
personally I feel like you officially cannot call this a bromance anymore! Episodes 21 & 22. The things that were done and said!!! so romantic and beautiful!
I feel like episode 3 really changed things for me. In my opinion episodes 1 & 2 really weren’t that special and were quite messy - and looking back this series was really just finding it’s footing in those first 2 episodes, but from episode 3 onwards JoongDunks chemistry has been shining and there have been so many seriously adorable moments between Joke and Zo. I’m really a fan of this now!
I thought there’s still a danmei adaptation filming ban in China? But maybe they ended that and it’s just that they’re illegal to air in China? Or maybe they could film season 2 in Taiwan! I don’t know! so much new info has come out suddenly.
It’s very sweet that SeungHo shared that tomorrow it’ll be their 200th day officially dating! crazy that they’ve been dating for over 6 months! But he also shared that him and JunSeung feel uncomfortable posting couple photo’s because of the prejudice that is still very present in Korea - so people really really need to understand their choice to not post. If you’re a fan just be happy that they are happy, travelling and living their everyday together - that’s all fans of them could hope for!
this was such a beautiful film. the only actors I knew of beforehand were Andy Huang and Esther Huang - the majority of the cast aren’t professional actors, but I loved this film the family was so beautifully portrayed. And the middle section of the film - when Andy Huangs character showed up - was probably my favourite, that was the funniest section of the film - him only speaking English and the family trying to communicate with him and bond with him was hilarious - the whole audience was cracking up!
So beautiful and heartbreaking. The chemistry between the two leads is insane. You know how it’s going to end from the moment the film starts, but that doesn’t make the journey any less impactful. In the Q&A today director also told a cute story about the “young” versions of the leads. In the call back auditions they asked the boy to completely improvise a speech to convince the girl (auditioning for young Nora) to not leave Korea and he did so well the girl in the audition started crying and begged the writer/director to not let Nora leave. They obviously cast them but told the girl Nora has to leave Korea - so sweet! Also that Yoo Teo did such an incredible job throughout the shoot portraying this very shy, quiet, sensitive character that at the wrap party when he completely dropped the character they were all shocked how different his personality was.
I forgot that Taiwanese dramas can sometimes take almost as long as cdramas to air after they’ve been filmed - About Youth took literally over a year. Really hope that’s not the case with this one!
just binged the first 4 episodes - really didn’t want to stop, but it’s 3am! So good so far. The leads relationship is so adorable and feels real - I love their chemistry! Excited to see where this goes!
one of the actors said there could be a season 2? And that there will be a happy ending and that their kiss will be “according to emotion” - what does according to emotion mean!?!?
wow! this film emotionally destroyed me. I was crying non-stop through out the final part - and I continued to cry for about an hour after. But that final section also had some of the most adorable and sweet moments too. It’s a very very dark and tough watch, but it’s worth watching to see these rare beautiful moments that our characters share - but those beautiful moments also make it even more painful! I’m in love with this film. I wish I could watch it again right now!
woah! he’s joined GMMTV! Didn’t expect that. I wonder if he’ll become part of the bl crew or not? really interested to see who they’ll partner him up with girl or guy.
I really thought Khaotung and First’s story was going to be a very small part of this series in comparison to ForceBooks and I wasnt too excited by the dynamic of ForceBooks relationship in this. So I wasn’t really looking forward to it, but surprisingly Khaotung and First were the stars of that trailer. I still like my series to be a little sweeter and I hate seeing First play another character going through so much emotional pain, BUT I am a little excited for this now.
the rating for this changes so drastically each week. clearly at the beginning a lot of people were upset thinking it would just be your typical censored bromance, but also it seems like everyone seems to agree that it gets better and better every week.
Yay! I can’t believe we have been confirmed a GeminiFourth 2024 series in July of 2023! So many of GMMTVs 2023 series are currently filming meaning that 23.5 which has just started filming is slated to be released in 2024. So if Gemini and Fourth are going into preproduction preparations in August their series will definitely be announced in GMMTVs 2024 lineup, but it’ll be already filmed meaning that in December we will get the official trailer rather than pilot trailer and it’ll probably be the first project in GMMTVs 2024 lineup to air. And the fact Gemini has revealed it’s a really well known novel! The rumoured novel sounds AMAZING!
