The Penelope character is just awful. Way too much time is spent on it - is it intended to be funny, because sustained and obviously deeply unwanted sexual harassment is not funny.

I'm happy the actors don't have a problem with kissing, and the one at the end was hot, but it came out of nowhere - if there's some backstory that makes it comprehensible, we really needed to see it. Gameplay's character is really unappealing, and he appears to feel that way too, because he's clearly not into it. I didn't feel any chemistry between anyone. Think about Gameplay with Jeff Satur or Best's on-fire chemistry with Chahub in Check Out. The direction and cinematography are also profoundly uninspired.

Wow, Mike in a lead BL role - it's about time. I'm curious to hear Krist's explanation. I guess the career in straight roles didn't work out as hoped, eh? I'm glad this is a more interesting plot than many of the other upcoming series.

In the USA, a lot of people who are successful on TV quit to become movie stars. That rarely works out, and they all come back. Something similar here, I'll bet.

Wow, finally something different! I'm excited for this one - and I love the cast.

They probably have several series that were interrupted by COVID, so there's a backlog.

I call this "BL Plot #3" - an heir to a criminal empire is assigned a bodyguard by a parent. They fall in love, which is unacceptable to the parent, and the bodyguard is shot protecting heir-boy. But don't worry, he won't die. Starting to get very old, very fast, but still fresher than BL Plot #1 (boy trips and is caught by other boy - they stare at each other until they turn gay, but it takes 11.5 eps to get rid of one or both of their evil girlfriends.) and BL Plot #3 (Boy opens food establishment. Other boy shows up to work there. They fall in love.)

Was this pairing so compelling that it needed to be repeated? I would rather see Pond with someone else, but I'll watch it just for him.

What, no chefs? With no chefs, engineers, or medical students I can't tell what genre this is. Is it a BL? :) Anyway, this looks like something different and interesting. BL has been missing the classic soap opera evil twin trope,

I guess chefs are the new engineers. I wonder what it is about BL that makes more imitative than Holly wood. The trip and fall made me have zero interest in watching this. That trope is so horrendously overused that it's become a reliable indicator that a series will be bad.

That's interesting. What struck me is that many characters keep SAYING the owner is creepy, but to me he's not at all and is very charming and attractive, whereas Weir is the stuck up creep. As for the murder plot, it's in the source material, and sort of IS the plot, so I think you're stuck with it. unless they take a radically different approach to the story, which would be nice since I've already seen it twice. (There are Japanese and Korean versions.)

This is unwatchably terrible - it's just a checklist of tired cliches and everything about it is 100% predictable. Did anyone doubt for even one second who would be the occupant of the room when Nathee got there? Is there anyone who didn't know what would happen the moment Prin said "Get out" and pushed Nathee?

How does garbage like this get made? There are so many talented writers in the world - can't we go with one of them every once in a while?

I watched it on PH?

Am I the only one who watched this? There must be at least one more because I haven't rate it. TBH, I was a little disappointed. It wasn't bad, but it was a little dull, except for Rocky's post-shower appearance. Something is missing from the original - the energy level was lower, and the COVID theme is getting a little worn out.

I am fairly certain that will be a dream Judah has or a flashback.

This was different - a more realistic BL with the real life problems LGBTQ+ people face in conservative societies. The acting and dialog were very natural and authentic.

Same here - more interested in the side couple, but what else is new? Singto's suits were awesome, and Yoon's too. Tae looked good in his as well. Being tall and in great shape seems to correlate well with looking good in suits. Who knew?

The music during the cockroach scene (Flight of the Bumblebee by Rimsky-Korsakov) was funny too - the under-chair shot of it flying was great - they must have done that with a drone.

I think that's a bad translation. It's more like "yuck", which is very mild. You might say that if someone says something embarassingly nice.

That was intensely boring. It was a challenge to stay awake.

I'm not sure what I think. I like the subject matter, I love the soundtrack ("updated" classical), I love Yoon and Yacht, Tae has great comedic chops, the wardrobe is spectacular, and the cinematography is really good - the cockroach shots were well-done.

But I liked it, didn't love it. I think the editing needs to be sharper - this is largely comedy, so it needs to be a bit snappier - but it's still off to a good start - you can already feel the spark between Yacht & Yun, and Tae is a bit of a dish. And no f#$%ing engineers and no school setting!!! A+ just for that!

I understand what you're saying - I liked it, but it was lacking a little energy, which I think was a problem with editing - it needed to be a little sharper.

It did have good kisses, but it still felt a little like friends to me - there wasn't the same raw longing that Nanon and Ohm were able to convey. In MoD I was actually more taken by Bhu and Putter - I loved the way That's "happy place" when he was being tortured was imagining just riding his bike with Sorawit. That was one of the most moving things ever.
