There are only 9 of 12 episodes released, so I can't give a complete reaction without knowing the ending. However,…
You said, " it's totally fine to respond by giving our opinion about it. There is no need to mention others in the process."

Nowhere did I mention any opinions other than my own, I did not mention others in the process aside from when I said, "However, *In My Opinion* the people who think it's bad are probably shallow and are looking for NC scenes and not paying attention to what this show is trying to tell us." But I also made it very clear that I was speaking about my opinion based on my experiences and I did not call any specific someone's views into question.

As I mentioned above, I've seen people post (here, facebook, twitter, etc) on how many shows, this one included, isn't good because there are no NC scenes.

Along similar lines, I actually saw someone ask, just yesterday, which BL shows could they watch where the actors actually have sex!! I chose not to respond, but my first thought was, "Good grief, if you want to see actors actually have sex then go find p0rn, because BL is *NOT* the place to be looking for that kind of content."

I just don't understand why the two of you took my response so personally.... but, whatever.

I'm afraid I never once used the word stupid in my post, you made that one up on your own. As for shallow, I wouldn't have a clue. However, I'm not sure why you took my review of the show so personally. I made it very clear at the beginning of the second line ... "However, *In My Opinion* ...."
As I told the person above you, you are welcome to your own opinions, but wouldn't they be better addressed to the original person asking for reviews than trying to argue with my own personal opinion?

Furthermore, there is nothing "shallow" about generalizing groups of people with similar opinions. For reference, here is the definition of being a shallow person:
What does being a shallow person mean?
Someone who has a shallow personality is superficial and doesn't think very deeply about important things. Shallow people are often materialistic or overly concerned with physical appearances, and tend to get into a lot of drama.

Next point you were trying to make by saying "we all should care less about other people's opinion on a show." I'd love to hear why you think it's a bad idea to share opinions and engage in discourse, especially when in this case the initial poster was specifically asking for opinions on why some people enjoy the show. Obviously, they care about what others think.

If you don't agree with my personal opinion that's fine, just respond to the initial poster giving them your own opinion.

First why are you taking it so personally? I made it VERY clear right up front that it was my opinion. Furthermore, I'm in more than one BL group and the complaint that I keep seeing is directly related to the show not having intimate scenes. I've seen people go so far as to say that this can't qualify as a BL because no one is in a physical relationship. From what I'm seeing in many places on the internet these days if shows are not either action packed or racy then they get poor ratings.

There is nothing stopping you from responding to the original poster with your own opinions explaining why you don't like the show. I have my opinions, you have yours, but I'd recommend you address the person asking the questions instead of trying to "prove" why my personal opinion is incorrect

Title 7 Days Before Valentine Spoiler
I sooo rarely comment so don't hate me butAccording to mdl people who like it. Its artsy. But I don't understand…
Ultimately, I suspect that the whole point of this is going to be for Sunshine to realize his own worth and what he has to offer the world.

This is on my PTW list. But I haven't heard anything good about it. But to be fair, the people who spoke to me…
There are only 9 of 12 episodes released, so I can't give a complete reaction without knowing the ending.

However, *In My Opinion* the people who think it's bad are probably shallow and are looking for NC scenes and not paying attention to what this show is trying to tell us.

So, a semi-spoiler, but it's practically spelled out in the synopsis anyway...
Sunshine is dating Rain. On Valentine's Day Rain breaks up with Sunshine. Then a Cupid-Reaper called Q shows up and tells Sunshine that time has gone backwards and he has 7 days to get Rain back. The way he can do that is by erasing one person from the world so they never existed each day, and Sunshine is instructed to erase the person that if they were gone would be why Rain would come back to him.

Sunshine tries a different person each day with various results. The world around Sunshine changes based on who he picks. It's a story that shows "the butterfly effect" in all things good and bad.

So far we haven't had any NC scenes, but the show powerfully teaches lessons and makes you feel all kinds of emotions of you're really paying attention to how the world is changing around Sunshine and why everything happens.

There are a couple mysterious characters that don't quite fit into the puzzle yet ... but we're slowly learning more about them as well.

I think if you're good with shows that evoke a deeper thought and you're fine without NC scenes, then this is absolutely worth a try.

I just finish the first book and it is rape for the three couple (Night/Gear, Day/Brick, Neil/Nick) there is no…
I agree with everything you've said, it was said perfectly!!

I too have tried to explain it to others, but as soon as they see the word "rape" their minds just close and they are incapable of hearing anything else. They just shut down and use that ONE word as their entire defense as to why the evite story must be horrible and wrong.

When in truth, every single one of those guys **could** walk away from their relationships, but they've realized that they enjoy the relationship they're in, they enjoy the dynamics and they love their partners completely. (the good and the bad) None of them would willingly leave the love of their life. Things may have started out rocky and non-consensual, but they didn't remain that way and true love bloomed beautifully.

I don't condone their initial methods, but the stories, the love, the trust and the beauty they found in each other is wonderful. I'm so glad I read them.

Oh good!! As long as she gets the truth then I'll keep watching! I was going to be so irritated. Thank you, you made me want to continue the show.

Can't say that I have much of an opinion on the way of like or dislike -- I just don't understand the reasoning behind saying it in a way that appears to be disparaging. That's all.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I prefer him in Sweet Home. Just me though.

Title 18 Again
People may really love this show but the real legends knows this is an remake of 17 Again
I think everyone is aware of that -- but does it really matter??

One is a movie, one is a 16 episode series. They're similar, but not the same. There's merit to both.

Title 18 Again
Where can I watch it in US?
Get a VPN, connect to a server in Korea, Thailand, etc and watch it on Viu.

VPN's can be very cheap and they're 100% worth every penny of you enjoy watching Asian dramas from the US. If you use services such as GagaOOLala, iQIYI, Viki, etc then connecting via VPN can change the whole catalog of available shows. I highly recommend.

Title 18 Again
I think the director of 'Twinkling Watermelon' exposed the reality of Eungyeol to Yi Chan due to the dissatisfaction…
Flower of Evil is my all time favorite Kdrama to date. I've watched it more than once, and it never gets old for me.

I also loved Tomorrow and Move to Heaven. Those three are in my to 5.

Title 18 Again
So far I'm enjoying this, but it really is so very slow that I think I'll have to watch a few episodes then watch something else and come back to this for a few episodes and keep spreading it out. I don't want to get bored with it, but maybe 16 episodes is too many.

whats the difference between this and the other one?
There can be Uncut versions that just have extended scenes as well. Because the cut version must for into a TV slot and can not exceed however minutes are in their slot. Whereas, an uncut version on a streaming platform can be longer because there are no restrictions or time slot constraints. So, sometimes, you just get a better / more complete story. That seems to be the case here. The uncut version just includes the scenes that they didn't want to cut out, but needed to in order to fit in their TV time slot.

Any reason why there is an uncut version?

What is NC and I heard it’s money 💴
NC is short for Not for Children -- usually it refers to rated-R type scenes.

Are you taking about characters in The Sign?? Because in The Sign Namami is the cat ....The girls are:"Nee" Pharanee…
Okay, I was just making sure that you didn't accidentally think that either Fay or May's characters in the show were Namami.

But your explanation makes so much more sense!
