acting & the kiss scene were spectacular.the story was promising, however it just hopped on a train & decided…
I saw an additional layer to why Donghee didn't want anything to happen: "The reason was in the main story where DongHee has expressed that he didn't want to be involved with Hotae because he felt so much gratitude to HoTae's mum, he thinks being in a r/s with her son is an "ungrateful" behaviour (with the stigma and Hotae being the only son and all)."
Absolutely loved it otherwise, but the ending was disappointing. I needed something more than that.And, there…
That's why it's so great that we already have Unintentional Love Story (ULS), where we can see how their love story plays out after Donghee gets back and starts working again. Highly recommend. I think they have a lovely story. I could watch their scenes from ULS again and a gain (i.e. I have watched them again and again and they get better after you've watched Time of Fever. It adds more context to things that were referenced in ULS, but you didn't know the significance until ToF. SO GREAT)

Donghee's father kicked him out and that's why he was living in Ho Tae's house. He goes to visit his mother on his birthday because I think she said his father is out, but the father must get back and beat him up. That's why he comes home to Ho Tae all bruised and bloody. Also, Donghee thinks that Hotae is being influenced by Donghee's own love for Hotae, and hotae is mistaking friendship for love, so he leaves to put a distance between them. He's seen Hotae date women so he has data to support the supposition that Hotae is only interested in kissing him out of adolescent curiosity and horniness (see the lines from Unintentional Love Story when they're fighting in the allie for more evidence). He also wants to protect Hotae from what it would be like to live as a gay man. He's experienced abuse first hand because of it and wouldn't wish it upon the person he loves, especially if there was any doubt that it could be his "influence" that Hotae was exploring gayness/considering a gay lifestyle you could say. The ending flashes from Donghee leaving to go to college in Seoul to the future when Donghee gets back from college and Hotae is working in the restaurant that he works in during Unintentional Love Story (you can tell it's aligning with the timeline of ULS because they zoom in on the tattoo on his neck that he has during ULS which is brought up during some of their conversations in ULS). Donghee is giving off an air that he's over Hotae, which makes sense knowing the storyline of ULS)
i will not even pretend i liked this bl.cute moments, yesone of the best bl kiss scenes, yesnice little story,…
That's why we have Unintentional Love story! It's a continuation of this and there's a resolution that's happy in it (IMO and I've rewatched both multiple times since this came out). If you combine this show with ULS, then it is a spectacular story <3
this is like the uncut version with NC scenes. some scenes will be missing in original version and more completed…
Thank you. I was hoping it was the former and not the latter, but I had to be sure. Much appreciation for your comprehension regarding my ignorance and hesitation.
Is this story/the ML also toxic like the Kdrama? (I assume yes to some extent b/c it's based on the same story, so if so, how toxic? If I squirmed so uncomfortably that I had to stop watching the kdrama, should I not watch this? ) ALSO, is the lesbian couple still included?!?!!!!!!!??????????????? That's the more important question.
what is a niece-in-law? I'm trying to picture it in my head and I have no idea how they are related
Exactly. He's in love with his nephew's wife. So he's in love with 1. a married woman, 2. someone probably a generation younger than him, and 3. a literal family member. Help!
