I love this so so much and it’s definitely one of my new comfort watches, but the length let this drama down a bit! The first 6 episodes were perfect and took their time, but the final 2eps had to wrap so much up it felt rushed. And there were several scenes in the trailers that were cut, like in the trailer after Qi Zhangs confession, Ye Guangs response was that he only likes him as a friend, but in the final version they clearly had to cut that for time and have them become “official” over text. this could’ve been a 10/10 for me if the last 2 eps held up the standard of the previous episodes, but that being said I still really love this and Qi Zhang and Ye Guang are definitely going to be one of my favourite ships of the year for just being adorable, wholesome and healthy. Also my favourite bl soundtrack ever! I hope someone gives this director the funding/episode count she deserves, because I truly love everything she’s done - and hopefully after this they will let us see more Taiwanese bl novels turned into series!
this isn’t that relevant to this series or important, but I just realised that Off Jumpol is only 2 years younger than Nike and Off played a university student this year whereas Nike played a 40yr old - I guess it shows having a younger and older face has different upsides in the acting industry!
I know it doesn’t really matter because it’s so early, but having Boom as a supporting character is really…
my mistake - looking at the actual series promotions rather than just MDL has Boom with the other 2 leads all the time - why do I always overthink MDL cast lists! haha! I’m happy!
I know it doesn’t really matter because it’s so early, but having Boom as a supporting character is really confusing me - because surely if Din (Kut) becomes Cheng (Boom) in someway then surely the majority of the series would be spent with Haii and Boom in the lead roles or it would be split evenly between Kut and Boom - my brain is already creating so many theories around this series - it should be an interesting watch! also this may just be hopeful thinking because I’ve wanted to see Boom in bigger roles since he was in my first ever Thai series Bad Romance - I have a bias for him!
this has all the usual mdl bl comment section negativity! personally I love this a ridiculous amount! the leads are so unbelievably adorable, their interactions are all butterfly inducing! this feels like it could be my new comfort drama (even with the evil parents) the leads are just that cute and wholesome. I’m also so in love with the music - I’ve been playing it on repeat the past few weeks! this drama is just perfect to me!
what just happened!? up until now I’ve been feeling that this series is seriously average, but I just finished episode 9 and I cried three times! It had some seriously lovely moments! They are finally actually starting to use that they’ve travelled to a new universe in the plot!!! and it’s got me so invested! Learning about who Puen is was so interesting to watch, I fianlly understand his character, especially his earlier actions. And Talays conversations with his friend and with Paeng had some really heartbreaking and beautiful bits of dialogue! Also on a side note I’m LOVING Boss’s little side romance with Aou - I’m manifesting for a while that Boss gets a BL lead role soon and this is making me want it even more! I’m annoyed that it took them so long to utilise the fantasy element and that it still relies so much on cameos/callbacks to other BLs, because what they did in ep9 was so original and JimmySeas chemistry was the best it’s been! (although I did love seeing Perth back in a BL and seeing Mix playing a vet did make me chuckle) Anyway my POV on this series has done a full 180 - I’m sooo invested!
oh my goodness! I love this so so much! The leads are so unbelievably adorable. I love that they became close because they were there for each other at hard times, and now they are clearly already crazy about each other, but idont know if Ye Guang realises yet! the glimpses we’ve gotten of the second couple also make me so excited to see more of their story. Also I’m just so obsessed with the music, the theme songs been on repeat all week for me and I really want slow motion amd the song at the end of ep4 to be available now!
I’m not a fan of nearly all of News series, so I literally started the first episode, just because I was bored and remember thinking “I’m probably going to hate this so much I won’t make it past part 1 of ep1” but here I am 3 weeks later completely obsessed with this beautiful, warm and real series. I don’t have enough words to express how much this series means to me - and were only on ep4! I literally missed the characters this week - Cake is everything - but Eiw in that final scene of ep4, it was almost too real for me! Their friendship is one of the most natural and real feeling friendships I’ve seen on screen for a long time! And I feel so lost in the story when watching it, then so annoyed when the episodes end. And I’m enjoying these younger years, but am also excited to see what happens after the eventual time jump! also I just love Afterday - writing this book and Bad Buddy and then acting in this series- she’s awesome! I can’t believe it took me6 years of watching News series until I finally found 1 I love this much!
LOL…i love it too. I’m surprised the rating for this show is not higher. Could it be that fewer viewers connect…
It’s true for all jdramas on here - not just the BLs - I tend to usually only watch kdramas or cdramas with ratings over 8.0 , but jdramas rated over 7.5 are usually so good they would have at least an 8.5 rating if they were from china or Korea - it’s kind of become a joke how low rated jdramas are on mdl. I really don’t understand why- the only thing I can think of is that a lot of them seem to have a lower budget
all of my favourite dramas always have the most unhappy mdl comment sections - when it comes to BLs I can honestly say I never agree with the comment sections on here - on Twitter and tumblr everyone loves this! I like mdl for its kdrama/cdrama comment sections, but BLs are held to some crazy high standard weirdly.anyway I love this with my whole entire heart!
that ending was almost too meta for me 😂- but I absolutely lost my mind at the little shout out to My Only 12% - it’s one of my favourite dramas airing at the moment and just hearing Earth call Santa Cake made me so excited for the next episode! also can Tee please actually do what his character said here and cast Billy and Seng in a series of his, they are so talented and I need to see them in a good full length series!
I wish that mdl would separate this series into its different 5episode stories, I feel like the ratings for each of them are going to vary quite a bit, the first one was incredible, but some of the others I don’t think are gonna be that interesting to me. but maybe I’m wrong and they’ll all be fantastic!
I feel like this will for ever be my favourite piece of Thai media, BUT can Boss please make a new series, or film or anything! He did these 5 incredible episodes and hasn’t really done anything longer than 15mins since! This was his project, and I understand he put his heart and soul into this (even though I’m still sad he wasn’t really part of ipytm I get it) but it’s been 2 years, can’t he make something new now!? I just think he’s a creative genius and he’s only 31 - he’s got to make something else soon! it’s such a shame Nadao shut down because it seemed like such a free and creative sector of gmmtv, but Boss please comeback and make something at least over an hour!
I don’t know if this is just because I grew up watching a lot of English and American soaps, but has anyone else been noticing Eiws eating habits? Literally from the first scene of ep1, Cake says that he eats so little. And Eiw often says that he’s already eaten or he’s not hungry. I wouldn’t think that they’re going in an “eating disorder” direction, but they do bring up food and particularly Eiws relationship with it so much - but then i guess him not eating could be significant in other ways in those scenes too! As I said it could just be my brain thinking this because I used to watched so many soaps!
