I loved it. The way the actors brought the characters to life, the dynamics, the portrayal of different perspectives and personalities... it was all so true to life and for me, personally, relatable on so many levels. It truly could've been a masterpiece if only there were a few more episodes. The social mobility experienced by Dohoe and how that changed him, for example -- I really wish that had been explored more, because that was one of the main things, I think, that affected his dynamics with Juyeong as they tried to pick up their relationship 12 years later. I also wish we could've learned more about Juyeong's family background, which I think would've served as a partial explanation for why the two of them looked at life so differently. Nevertheless, beautiful story and characters full of life, true to Hwang Daseul's previous works. ♡
The difference between BLs where you can see all the way from the other side of the screen that the actors don't want to be there vs the devotion Yinwar have toward their roles....... their chemistry, their screen presence, the yearning that seemed so genuine from the little spark that ignited the moment they met to the desperation of their first kiss.... they really are on another level.
Paying for premium account but not being able to watch this on iqiyi 😒😒
I couldn't either but I figured out it works with Windscribe (VPN extension on Chrome). I still have to type each exact episode name into Google and click it from there because otherwise it doesn't show up but it works this way
I use the Windscribe extension on Chrome. If I go to the IQ website, it still won't show me the episodes this way, but strangely, if I type the exact episode name into Google, the IQ link comes up and I can watch it.
Like I'm so sorry your brain has been fried beyond salvation by only ever consuming media where the storyline…
Posting your actual THOUGHTS, emphasizing that they're just your thoughts and not an objective judgment of a drama is okay, even if they're negative. Saying you want to "punch" a character - someone whose entire storyline is based on physical and mental abuse by his father - because you're unable to grasp the fact that, like in real life, people have experiences that shape them into flawed individuals, is another thing. Saying that a drama sucks just because it doesn't follow the happy-go-lucky, two-dimensional formula of scripts written by underpaid and underskilled writers is a third thing. My problem is NOT that people have a different opinion than me, it's the complete lack of nuance and understanding of text in every single negative opinion I saw expressed on here.
Seeing a lot of people saying this isn't BL just because it's lacking "romantic scenes" or they haven't kissed…
I'm going to print out this comment and mail it to every fried-brain commenter that has difficulty grasping the concept of a show having an actual plot with a purpose other than fulfilling the average fetishizing bl watchers' desires.
Like I'm so sorry your brain has been fried beyond salvation by only ever consuming media where the storyline and the characters could have been written by 12-year-olds so you've lost the ability to grasp complex characters and subtext. But can you go write about it in your journals or something instead because this comment page is genuinely embarrassing
an eight sense and blueming fan ? wow both shows are in my top 3 kbls of all time and top 10 bls ever... taste…
I loved Love for love's sake. But the last few eps were a bit too rushed for me, I wish it had just been a bit longer and some loose ends could've been tied up better. The ending of Time of Fever didn't bother me because I went in expecting it, having seen the original.

High five for good taste lol. Semantic Error is my third one, nothing came close to these 3 for a long time for me. But The Time of Fever recently, wow, it's a tough fight for that 3rd spot now lol (and now this one too, I can already feel it's going to be up there).
Oh... where do I start. You know when you start watching a new drama, and within the first two minutes, you start having this giddy feeling in your belly like you already know you're bound to fall in love with it all? The characters, the story, the development, the cinematography --- wow. And by the end of episode 2, I know that feeling was right. Can't wait for next week.
Blueming is one of my fav too.but I thought "time of fever " was a also pretty good kbl this year
We literally have the same taste it seems hahaha it's my BL of the year. I was writing essays defending it in the comments after the last ep. Seriously the best show I've seen lately and I can't wait for s2
Blueming is one of my fav too.but I thought "time of fever " was a also pretty good kbl this year
Watched it last week and loved it SO much. Didn't care much for the original, but this one was so good! I wish their getting together story as adults had also been done by the same director.
The scene with the English didn't have to go so hard what?? Joker's face when Jack says "I like you" and his little "what" likeeee War is so adorable I can't. And his "yes, no, thank you, you're welcome, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10" i love him sm. Yin too -- their acting is on another level. Probably my fav episode so far 🔥
Jack confessing: "I want to see you happy with a decent job and a good life. That's enough for me"
God. When is it my fucking turn
