If you're okay with it, enjoy. Him or any actor, playing such kind of role when they are way older than it is ridiculous, because it doesn't look realistic at all for me.

"A character having to juggle two identities will always be interesting." For sure, but not when it's an actor who play a role that is much more younger (or older) than himself, and thus makes it totally unrealistic. At least for me.
Him or any other actor, I found this ridiculous, but good for you if you're okay with it, enjoy.

I'm still not okay with the idea of Kang Joon playing an undercover high school student, that makes no sense. With his skills he could surely find a more interesting character to play seriously.

Oh my God, such a disappointment.
They still don’t understand what viewers want after all these years of producing BLs, seriously. Because considering all the comments that are shared for all BLs every year everywhere, it’s obvious people are sick of that kind of stories. It's always the same. I don’t understand why they keep building their stories around stupid misunderstandings and miscommunications, overreacting about nothing and ignoring other things that are obviously important, then there is always the two characters being apart when one of them want to confess his feelings, or one that hear things that he takes to heart and makes him distance to the other, etc., before being reunited and finally ending together. It's just frustrating.
They had everything for a great show: really great young actors, interesting characters, nice set-up, a straightforward confession at the beginning but then they ruined everything until episode 7 with all the bad elements they could find. And once again everything will be « solved » in the last minutes with the last episode. That’s always the same annoying pattern.
The only thing that makes us (at least me) keep watching these kind of dramas is the charisma and appeal of the actors they smartly choose, and for Japanese ones the overall setting and atmosphere that I like, because the stories themselves are mostly boring, only a few are really original over the years.
I’m really not happy about this one because episode 1 and 2 gave me great expectations. Such a waste.

Such a gem. I wanted to watch it for Yu Shi at first, and the Kazakh setting made me even more interested, but I never expected it to be this good. It's such an heartwarming and beautiful story, simple and profound at the same time, with a very nice poetical and philosophical side. The production is very good and needless to mention that the sceneries are stunning.
Yu Shi definitely didn't disappointed as Batay (he is really promised to a brilliant acting career), but all the cast was great actually. Every character was interesting, especially because they were not just simply good or bad people but all had their good and bad sides portrayed, it increased the realism. This series is one of the best surprised I ever had and I'm glad I'm watched it. It really felt good to watch this story. Higly recommended.

That "three-way couple" is probably the worst thing in this series. It ruined what was interesting between Seiji and Japan at first, As you described, it doesn't make sense at all that Seiji suddenly has the same feelings for Ken when they have shown from the start that he had only eyes for Japan and always view Ken more like a brother and not a lover. Even for Japan or Ken, it just looks forced the way they suddenly think they should equally love each others. It just look like two idiots pitying a third, and not a genuine relationship where three people have the same feelings all for each others (which I believe is impossible nonetheless, whatever some people say).
That's the problem with Thai productions, they want to be so inclusive and portray so many possibilities that it becomes ridiculous. No wonder the overall quality is so low, but the crazy fans still support these things so they won't stop.

The production is a little bit messy for this one. Transitions especially are not well made, thus it feels like the overall quality is lacking a bit for me. That's too bad because the dynamic between Kazuhito and Ryota is interesting. And it's a little bit disappointing that next week episode will focus on their high school days, based on the preview. Considering the quick confession I expected something different. It's not bad, but not quite where I thought it would go after five episodes.

I guess he was clever, or his entourage, from the start for choosing good projects (meaning the ones who will be popular at a certain time and thus makes more money), that's why he quickly became one of the highest paid Korean actors.
People nowadays can't really make the difference between quality and popularity, especially when it comes to actors and singers/artists, but if you ask them in ten or twenty years, or more, about an average actor/singer that was very popular at the moment, they will barely remember the person or what he did. That's the difference. If you are still popular generation after generation, it's far from different than a shooting star kind of popularity.
I'm sure Chang Wook will be an actor that will remain very popular until the end and even after if he keeps acting all his life, even if his movies/dramas aren't the most populars.

I'm rubbing salt on a wound fore sure. ^^ The well deserved Best Director award for Han Dong Wook at the 59th Baeksang Arts Awards and his special thanks to Chang Wook for his help through the production of the drama during his acceptance speech is validating that he was really robbed from a nomination, at least, in the Best Actor category this year.
Hopefully his next roles will make him have more recognition through a nomination or an award next year. Not that he needs it, but I think it's a recognition from his peers that he plenty deserves.

Yes finally ! That's funny how this TV series became Ba Tai's story because of Yu Shi's fans, when he is only a "small" character in the original story. ^^

That's a good news !

Oh I missed the raws then, thank you !

Well, of course everybody is different so others might have different opinions or experiences. The first time is not indifferent though, with a man or woman, but depending on the person, and if both have their first time together at the same time in particular, being active can be as mentally tough as being passive, but physically it's quite "easy" for the active one I think, that's why it can be less "special" in a way.

That was confusing, why use another actor when he woke up in the body of the other Joe but after it's the original actor again ? That was unnecessary in my opinion. And overall I'm not hooked by this story and the acting. I watched because Poom's handsomeness caught me but I'll probably pass.

For a man to be passive for the first time with another man, it takes a lot of preparation, both mentally and physically (unless you're totally drunk or high and don't even remember what happened, though the pain will make you remember...), so I don't see this happening casually with an unknown hook-up. At least I don't know a single man around me for whom it happened. That's really different than a man loosing is virginity with a woman, or active with another man, which is less "special" for most men than it is for women I guess.

This looks quite funny, liked the trailer.

There is only a file with subtitles on DO, no ? So it needs to be synced with a raw video ?

I like it very much when a drama gets better episode after episode. And how refreshing to have two characters that are honest both to themselves and between them. Ryota is still confused and Kazuhito will probably have a hard time, but that's much more interesting than the usual stupid misunderstandings and self-pity. Hopefully it will stay as good as episode 3 until the end.

Kim Kyung Nam is finally back in a drama after 3 years !I'm looking forward to watching it, especially with this cast, and the plot seems interesting.

Utterly stupid. It was okay at first and I was watching for the cute romance between Seiji and Japan, but what they did in the end with Ken totally ruined it. Thai productions are really so stupid and low quality sometimes. I keep thinking I should stay away from it, but I can't resist an handsome face like
Seagames.
