It's just kind of dated now. But I'm sure it could be modernized.

That's the only Nanon I could think of and he has nothing to do with this series.

I live in California so it airs when I'm asleep. But on the bright side it's there when i wake up and I get to enjoy it and coffee at the same time!

Ohm wears muscle shirts in almost every scene.

Oh, that's right - that was bad. It's not that hard a detail to get right! But I guess in the end it's not really a deal-killer.

I also felt no chemistry. Occassionally I got a little from Jang Eui Soo, but barely. The writing was awful - it felt like no effort went into it at all. This should never have been made.

That was really poor. There wasn't really a plot, and what there was made no sense. Jang Eui Soo is beautiful, but it's not enough.

Everyone keeps talking about length. Length does not matter. All films are this long, and actually usually shorter, yet countless films have had no diificulty drawing characters and giving them backstories and context. In fact, 30 minutes is enough if the writing is good.

The writing here was terrible.

I thought it was too long.

Thanks. I didn't see the resemblance and "Jimmy" made me think of Jimmy Karn. Maybe this Jimmy is more the love child of Tommy and Zee.

This is unusual, though, in that it's been trending upwards. It's possible that people were put off by the fighting in the first two eps (I was - I rated it a 6 until this ep when it became a 9).

But Kdramas will usually get rated like that because there are lots of Koreans watching it and they'll all give it 10s,

I wasn't very keen on all the fighting, but after this ep I see that it was necessary for the plot and they didn't carry it past its usefulness - this is really a perfect series so far.

It was actually in pretty good tune considering it had been sitting in a closet for years and he only pretended to adjust one string. :)

This isn't the best BL of all time, but it's certainly one of the most enjoyable. Finally, we have equally able actors playing the main couple - NOTE TO GMM: Look what happens when you put experienced actors in the main roles instead of pretty boys you drag in off the street. It would be hard to find anyone to top these two in looks anyway.

The chemistry between these two is stellar, and the way they look at each other is burning with love, but also subtle and not OTT.

And finally, a romance between boys, and not an uke and a seme! They even played with that with the busstop scene and when Ohm cornered Nanon butt-to-crotch in the elevator.

The writing is sharp and witty, the dialog is natural, and the pacing is perfect. I love this series.

There is room for it to be BL, so it depends on the direction they take it The story was written 25 years ago and needs updating, so we'll see. IIRC only two of the male characters were straight.

i actually thought 1000 Stars was ruined by the really stu;pid drama introduced near the end. Maybe not ruined, but lowered from a 10 to an 8. I hope they don't do that here.

If there's anything we''ve learned, it's the GMM can ruin anything. ANYTHING. But there's a first for everything, and maybe they'll let this one live. So far it has none of the usual red flags. If Nanon suddenly starts acting like a 12-year old girl later on, you'll know it's taking an unfortunate direction into formula and cliche.

But I love it so far.

I'm not sure I would characterize spitting out food as romantic, but I know what you mean - those were two of the best fliring scenes I've ever seen in BL.

It's one of the best things about this - I've really been pining for a BL where the guys are just guys, and not a man and a 12-year old Victorian-era virgin. I love their interaction. It's so natural and well-written.

It's so good. Maybe the best BL of all time. All the cuteness and flirting, and Ohm in muscle shirts, and super-good acting, and the stellar chemistry. Are you sure you don't want to watch it yet? :)

I don't understand.
