I understand this show is not for everyone, but I adored it and it made me cry just as much as 'Eternal Yesterday'. For what essentially feels like a slice-of-life show where "nothing happens", they really came through with a heartfelt and touching ending. This show is so unique in its tone and style, I was not expecting the ending to be so moving. I will miss this each week! If you enjoyed 'I Will Knock You', this is the show for you!
I really liked this series. It was giving yearning, passion, desire and was well told through flashbacks. It wavered a little in the second half when it focused too much on Ji's job, but at it's core this love story was really solid and a great watch for those who are fans of slow burn/friends-to-lovers. Their high school hook-up flashback was giving ITSAY vibes, in that the desire was palpable. Very well acted overall. Because the show was shorter, I would have omitted the second couple altogether, since there was not enough time to do them justice. I always like when a high school romance has a break and they reconnect years later. For me it gives it a bit more weight, that yes, they really are in love with each other and are meant to be together. They were able to be their own people and live their own lives for 10 years, only to realize that they still only had each other in their hearts. For me this is a 10/10.
It's a real shame that the English subtitles were not better. Otherwise I think this would score higher. It wasn't giving us anything new, but it was not the worst show, and had some charming moments (6/10 for me). My heart really breaks for the cast after watching the special at the end of Ep 10. They all seem so sincere and like they were having a good time together. All that work and effort just for the show to be dismissed as bad, it must be so difficult being an actor!
ahh this is helpful so I’m guess no hea on either side?
In terms of a classic romance, no, there is no hea on either side. It ends on a positive note, with some bittersweet elements that you can read into how you'd like. I really enjoyed this show and liked the finale.
This show would have been much better served being labelled as "Coming-of-Age" rather than BL/GL/Romance. Anyone watching for romance will be disappointed, but it's a very competent show about friendship, change, and figuring out who you are.
I'm really enjoying this how but Episode 4 missed a huge opportunity to do something unexpected and different regarding the sudden and intense jealousy in Khem. Rather than do the same jealous boyfriend routine, what if instead they had made it so that Khem enjoyed watching Wela with the clients? Hear me out - he's such a confident guy, he knows he's (secretly) the only one who truly gets to enjoy all that Wela has to offer, so what if we got lots of playful eyes from across the room? Wela purposefully showing himself off for Khem to enjoy from afar? Sounds fun to me! The one thing this series makes clear is that Khem and Wela definitely desire each other, so I would love to see that explored more through Wela's job. I feel like we got a little taste of that in Ep 3. Can't the drama just be their secret relationship? Why also the gross jealousy?
They need to make a season of this show every few years until Japan has same-sex marriage, so the grand finale can be their wedding. In the meantime, at least give us a S3 where Shiro finally comes out at work. Love this show so much!
As it wound its way towards the end, the writing and story became messy and confusing. That Night and Dream would…
I almost wish it had a bittersweet ending, rather than the "happy" ending it gave us. They should have reconnected in another 5 years, to come together as ex-almost-lovers to acknowledge/reminisce/reconcile their past feelings. We'd get to see how they moved on and found happiness in their own way, with Dream being in an established happy long-term relationship and Night confident in his life choices, with his novel and no longer looking for his fathers approval. I think that would have worked well with the nostalgic vibes the first episodes were giving.
I love it! Earth and Win are great together! I'm still hoping for a 2nd season. 🥺 I discovered LAZ1 because…
For me, Offroad was the best part of Our Days! I really enjoyed it, it had a more mature/dramatic tone to it, and was a bit understated in a way you don't typically see in Thai BLs.
And I'd definitely recommend checking out Rak Diao - the payoff is worth getting used to the over-the-top comedy, laugh track, and sound effects. Earth & Win's chemistry is no joke! The show delivered some real emotion with phenomenal performances, while being entertaining the entire time. A critically under appreciated show! Still hoping for S2.
Can I watch season 3 without having watched seasons 1 and 2?
Season 3 doesn't provide a lot of backstory, so I think you might be lost. It would be worthwhile watching S1 & S2. They are quite short, so not a big commitment, and best enjoyed in a binge viewing.
