People aren't "lying" about the series when they express their opinions. It's very dangerous why people start claiming their opinions are objective truth.

If people are just saying "this sucks", that's one thing. If they're giving critiques, that's different. Also, can you explain to me how criticising something is "insulting" to people who like it? Since it's impossible to find an two people who like all the same things, you would have to spend a lot of time feeling insulted. And why does this keeping coming up in discussions about Korean BLs?

He spent the night in a classroom chair just so someone else wouldn't sit there. Then he was sleeping through class, so the face drawing was a merited retaliation. He didn't even use a permnent marker. You have an extremely low bar for bullying.

The writing wasn't stellar either. That's one pair that mytifies me. Did nobody notice they hate touching each other in the workshops?

Buying up all the drinks, blocking his door with boxes, following him around even though he's asked him not to, an generally harassing him is mild bullying, but none of it adds to 10% of what Sang Woo did to him. Let's be honest, he is stalking him. Not to rape or murder him, so who cares? Are people complaining? I swear, half this audience is so puritanitcal about expecting moral perfection in the characters that they should confine themselves to watching bunnies hopping around. Except they sometimes eat their young. But if it's natural, is it wrong?

That means the actor is doing a good job, though, right? You're supposed to dislike him at this point. At least he's not a vampire with a bunch of silly rules that keep getting adde to.

If you don't like someone's opinion then give your own opinion, explain why you disagree, or ignore it - dob't make childish commensts like this. It's a discussion forum - people are supposed to give their opinions, positive and negative. If somene having an opinion that's different from your is too much for you to bear, why are you here?

I watched the trailer again to see if I had a different reaction to it. It was actually les favorable. Once you're not struggling to figure out the plot like on the first viewing, you notice this is a long checklist of BL tropes. The 17-hour stare followed by the trip/fall/catch, childhood friends who separate despite promises, heart inserted into new body that is compelled to love a total stranger for some reason, pinning hands to the wall to kiss. I'm sure there will be piggy-back rides, an evil girfriend, hair drying, screeching trans/fem gays, injury while attempting to use a sharp object, injury from even looking at a sports field... oh, and lip dabbing with a gross yellow q-tip

I don't think that was transphobic at all. His fear is what was portrayed as ridiculous, not the character, and I don't think it's unreasonable for someone to be suprised. Acceptance comes from familiarity, not condemning people for being surprised. Another character got plastered and cried for a whole episode because she was shocked her crush was gay. Is that homophobic? (If that sounded angry, it's not.)

I'm not sure what in there was transphobic - the guy was shocked, was obviously coming around to the idea, and his fear was what was made out to be ridiculous, not the trans character. They referred to the character as "he", but given the ID listed "Mr", any other pronouns would be making assumptions. I don't think it's fair to expect people to view it as irrelevant or non-suprising, and ignorance is a learning opportunity and not the same thing as bigotry or hostility.

By BL standards, that was a trans pride parade. Usually trans characters are pathetic screeching predators, which is supposed to be funny for some reason.

It looks like they renamed most of the characters as well - Bank in the Mork role, Pak->Tawan and Big-> Dr. Por, I guess?

I like this - mostly for the cast.. Tawan acting like a young teen with Dr Por was tiresome and ridiculous for someone in his 20s. If I were Dr. Por, I'd break up with him and just want to be friends. They are at different points in their lives and not compatible as a couple if one wants to be physica and the other doesn't.

And other than that not-so-successful mustache, coffee guy is hot AF. Does anyone know the actor's name?

EDIT: I guess it's Oat Sumethee - โอ๊ตสุเมธี

There was a lot of recasting for this series - Dr Por was originally played by Big Thanakorn (Pha in Gen Y and Luck in Something In My Room), among others.

Until this episode, I would have said the cut version was actually better - some of the deleted scenes were really tiresome, like Dream's extremely long story about her family.

But the deletion from Ben's play in this ep was fairly unbelievable - without that scene the meaning of the play is the opposite!

That's the cut version.

This is really too silly. Is the acting good? Maybe, but it's hard to tell because the actors aren't given any material. And another rear hug as someone is walking away - let's never skip an opporunity to throw in a tired cliche.

This ep we had almost zero interaction between the main pairing, late introdcution of a new character, who is in addition cartoonishly evil, which brings up the question, why did Mi Ran call some psycho to save her friend, when she must know he's going to do evil stuff?

And as for all the silly vampire rules, why don't they just take a little of Min Hyun's blood every few days, save it up, then use it when there's enough? If that can't work, then they shouldn't have shown Mi Ran giving our saved blood.

The problem is that Jun Ho is a boring character (that's not a criticism of the actor), and the new guy is 2D (again not a criticism of the actor), so without Min Hyun, this episode felt like dull filler.

I love the idea of a supernatural-themed BL, but this isn't the way to do it.

Length an budget have nothing to do with it. Strongberry has a hefty arsenal of effective low-bujdget shorts. To me this feels like a 15-minute story dragged out to an hour with filler, and that's not an effective use of time. Shorts have to be structured differently than long series.

I am supporting it in the Viki app, and I don't care that the budget is low - but I do care that the writing is terrible.

Ben was so dark and evil in Phob's dream that it's hard to believe he's a good guy. Also, if you haven't seen the uncut version, there was an additional scene in Ben's play - they had broken up due to somethng Phob had done and Ben wouldn't forgive him and said they would have nothing more to do with each other after the play was over - and then they immediately went into the wedding scene. I can believe they did that - it changes the hole meaning of the play.

Well THAT was different. Having a story within a story within a story was clever and well-done.

Note that there is a very important deleted scene - I've summarized it above. It's the last missing scene for Ep. 5.

I don't know how they could have left it out, because it almost reverses the meaning of the play. This is the first missing scene in the series that I think was a real mistake to delete.

And now the question is, who is the landlady? Is she Dan's mother, or Phob's? Or neither?

Yes, it's very good. I didn't like Nut at all, but I love this. Nut's acting has improved hugely. I can imagine it's not for everyone, but I really don't get the hostility below - first time I've heard any, and this isn't as show to hate - it's pacing is not the same as the usual BL (slow at times), but the worst you can get from it is bored. It's one of my favorite BLs airing right now.

Those are some good-looking boys. So far it's looking petty good - it has a visual sense that a lot of BLs lack.
