Watching mold grow is a way better watch than Check Out, so I'm not sure that's much of a recommendation.

I think it was a teacher with the friend who liked gardening. A teacher being attracted to a high school kid but not acting on it is quite a bit far down on the list of Objectionable Things about BL. Like non-consensual relations, casual violence, homophobia, fem-shaming, feishization, misogyny, and failure to teach children how to swim. (That last isn't serious, but if one more person drowns in 10 seconds in 3 feet of water with 20 people standing around I'll scream.)

Fantasy means more than one thing. In the manga "Anda" has fantasies about Lala. But in the sense of genre, the manga is not attempting to be realistic - someone like Anda isn't really possible, nor is the set up, plot, or world of the story.

Now that you mention it, I have been suspicious that my cardiologist is trying to kill me.

Wow, I was in a mood when I wrote that. I think I'd blocked out ths series, but I remember it now. Unfortunately.

I remember watching UWMA and thinking "Wow, how did they make Ja look that unattractive?" By peeling up something that had been run over on the highway and stacking it on his head.

Anyway, thanks for commenting!

For him to be that healthy, he must have come out of the coma a while ago, especially if considerable time passed. That would mean Tol hasn't checked on him, which is not credible - and for Tin or his family not to notify his place of employment is even less credible. You'd have to deal with them to collect any insurance or injury pay, and it means that nobody in his life could be bothered to check. I didn't hate the series or anything, I just tohught the last three episodes were markedly inferior to the rest - in the writing. Everything else was still first-rate.

Africanbarbie mentioned this is a new username - what was the old one?

It's not bad by any means - I'm just warning it won't be the ending you were hoping for. There's plenty in the middle to satisfy anyone, the acting is superb, and Tae & Tee have some of the best chemistry I've seen, so while I felt let down by the ending, this is still better than 95% of BL series and it's defintely worth watching. It doesn't have a sad ending - that's the main thing.

I think it's hard to say based on the subtitles. They were referring to him in the past tense, which implied he was dead, and I find it very hard to believe that Tol would have stopped checking on him or that his own colleagues would be unaware that he'd woken, so my conclusion was that he died and came back somehow, which makes even less sense. Either way, it was a bad ending for an otherwise stellar series. I thought it took a downward turn when the perspective switched to Tol, but the acting was still really good - and I'm being critical but in comparison to most BLs... well, there's no comparison.

He can be my houseboy. Or I'd pay him to just stand around and look pretty. Actually, I've always really liked the actor playing Sing - he was what kept me watching The Yearbook. And I can never get enough Tae 7 Tee, together or separate, I don't care.

In a week or two my memory of the last chunk will fade and I'll keep my positive feelings for the series, because when it was good, it was good, and there was that love scene - and the superb acting. Sak Jr.'s character was cartoonish, but even there he acted it well.

I don't disagree with any of that.

The ending was nonsensical. Did Tin die, or was he just in a coma? They were referring to him in the past tense, which implies dead. If he was in a coma and woke up, and recovered to the point that he looked good and was walking around, are you tellimg me that in all that time nobody called Tol, or he didn't check, or that his two colleagues that he just had lunch with wouldn't tell him?

Good. Can you explain it to me?

They were referring to him in the past tense - wasn't he dead? Then he wasn't. Or if he had been in a coma, I think someone would have called Tol when he woke up. He had just been with two of his colleagues for lunch - wouldn't they know?

Mmm - I don't think it's clear-cut - It's sort of let's-meet-after-death but only for one of them. It's worth watching, but for me the first 10 eps are fantastic then it falls apart a bit.

They needed proof before calling the police, but yes, that should hav been a lot sooner - an explanation was needed for not doing that, like the chief was corrupt of something.

For me it was the cheats and the messy last few epsiodes that demoted the series for me out of the top rank. It was still really good, but after such wonderful writing for the first 10 episodes, it was a real letdown how lazy the last few were.

That's why I said "a little" :) I enjoyed watching them in it - they still have good chemistry.

Triage is the only place where you get any real BL between them, and it's fairly limited here, too.

He's too stupid to be a doctor - his character was pointless. Very, very cute, but pointless.

I thought the series never recovered from shifting the perspective from Tin to Tol. It threw out all the character realizatio of the first 10 eps, Tin suddenly became awful, all th dramatic tension deflated, and there wre too many lazy magic solutions, like non-consensual kisses restoring memories of past time loops or magic notebooks that you can give to someone when you're dead.

The ending made no sense - they just wanted to kill someone off and then handwave it away. I would have rated this a 10 until ep 10 when the remaining eps were unenjoyable for me, but I'd still give it an 8 for all its earlier quality and the excellent acting.

Kind of. It depends if you want one that makes any sense.
