Also, the irony of preaching about the moral ickyness of going gay for views in a series by a group that literally does that as a concept was not lost on me either. And this is something that deserved more fleshing out, or they shouldn't even bother mentioning it, imo.

I'm sorry, but what was this thing even about? I feel like the OOO "be" mvs had more plot in them that this entire series. And better acting. I don't know, I guess I was expecting something more after the music videos, they were so well produced, and the series was awkward and stiff (not in a good way), it was paiful to watch at times.

my bad, I assumed the manga was first and didn't check properly. but this is good news for me, more to read ❤️

I have to say, I wasn't expecting anything quite as good as this turned out to be. I saw the anime first, then I read what's available in English of the manga, and I wasn't sure either could translate well into a live action. But boy, was I wrong xd

I do wish they turned it into a series, knowing the source material the story felt a little rushed and shallow at moments. But I was so impressed with the visuals from the first scene and thoughout the whole movie, they handled it really well - both the cgi and overall cinematography, it was simply beautiful. And this story needed visual beauty to be really complete.

The acting was great as well, with the anime I had moments of annoyance at how much of a delicate damsel in distress Miyo was, to the point where even her voice was so weak it seemed like she would collapse dead at any moment (I know, it's the trope, but still). I really like what the actress did with the character, made it much more balanced and realistic and likeable. Both of the leads were excellent at balancing out their characters to keep them faithful to the manga but not too much of a manga, if you know what I mean. And I liked how they both were quite understated in their performance, it would've been so easy to go overboard.

I wish they didn't skip the Kudo's sister story line, but I understand the time was limited and it would've been more confusing, probably. I hope she might appear in the sequel, if there ever is one. Fingers crossed :)

It's finally on kissasian

I feel like I briefly had a thought about incest when I was trying to figure out the relationship dynamics between Jang Uk and Naksu. One of the possible configurations I entertained in my head was somehow that they had the same father (it was early on in the show, maybe someone got the same impression and hurried too much with their comment?). I can't remember exactly right now, but there was a line from the Jin father that Bu Yeon wasn't really his daughter, which triggered some suspicions for me, which then turned out to be fake.

I'm still trying to understand why this season made me so annoyed for the most part. It's not the actress swap, alhough I do feel the old fl was a bit better (but that could also be the script/directing, there wasn't really that much of a range for the character in S2). Even in S1 I thought that Naksu was treated badly, the super powerful mage got stuck in a frail body and had to sacrifice herself to teach the future hero. She only got to shine very briefly at the beginning and at the end. My hope for s2 was that she would somehow regain her agency or build on the development of s1 in some other way, but she got stuck again, this time without even having her memories for the most part. She deserved better. And I'm really confused about the logic behind Master Lee's decision to bring her back from the lake and squash Naksu to give Lady Jin a version of her daughter back. This is the driving force of the entire plot and I am so confused as to why he would put his (for a lack of a better word) lotalty in her over Naksu, or even Jang Uk.
Even though this part was half the size of the first one, it felt like they tried to squeeze even more in, and in my opinion none of the story lines were resolved in a satisfactory way. Ugh.

I wish this drama was available with translation into my native language, so I could buy it and educate people around me. Show it to my mum, my sister, everyone I know who's been telling me I haven't found the right person yet. It's not a perfect series, the middle episodes with focus on the Kazu storyline were not my cup of tea at all, but overall representation of the ace/aro experience felt very accurate and real from my perspective. And I really appreciate that we got both main characters to be on the spectrum, showing that it's not just one thing.

I don't think it's the wrong way, so far it's very accurate for me, considering my own experiences. There's more than just one way to interpret ace/aro people, it's a very diverse spectrum. I do hhate the side characters tho, why couldn't they just let the two leads be and leave them alone :(

same! I couldn't NOT look at them xd

Ok, so the final drama arc was sooo unnecessary, I can't even. But still, it was a lovely story, the boys were adorable, and Namjun deserved better in all this, I swear. He should be compensated for all that emotional damage. But overall, the series wasn't as bad as some comments made me believe (and made me put off watching it), so just give it a try and find out for yourselves, if you're not sure about seeing it.

It makes me so sad, this looks like a lovely series 😭

I don't know, this Director's previous series with two seasons (To My Star) focused on the same couple in both, so this could go either way... I'll remain hopeful until anything is confirmed, I think these characters have much more to tell when it comes to their story :)

And the soundtrack? AMAZING.

It's like I felt every punch they took, oh my god. I cried pretty much for the entire last two episodes, I kid you not. I knew it would be painful, that's why I had it on my list and kept watching other stuff instead. And now I need fluff fanfics. Or something, I don't know. It was amazing but also scarred me for life, probably.

dude, why would you not put that under spoiler ;_______;

I'm trying to understand why I like this series so much. It has all the things I ususally hate - the "perfect" god-like ML, who is just mean and smoldering 05% of the time and yet people are madly in love with him; the quirky and down right stalkery FL who is so optimistic your teeth hurt; their so very unequal and full of red flags relationship... It should all be annoying as hell, and yet, for some reason, I keep coming back to this series because it makes me feel good. I don't understand it at all xd

Ugh. The amount of pining and emotional constipation was too much for me. It would've been such a lovely series, were it not for the total lack of communication between people. I'm all for angst, but it has to make sense, and it really didn't here. Also, the amount of potential hinted relationships introduced just to make the lead characters think the other one will be with someone else was ridiculous and a bit tiring to watch. Does it have a pulse? Let's make one of the leads jealous of it! I'm really disappointed, I expected a better story out of this.

Just finished ep. 7 and now I'm afraid to get to the last three eps, with that ending and having seen the comments ;____;

I'm not crying, you're crying!
I had such high expectations for this series and I was not disappointed. It's 2am, I just finished binging the whole thing, my heart is about three sizes bigger from all the cuteness, what even are my emotions right now? I see zero flaws in this thing, other than the fact I'm sooo damn hungry right now ;_____;
I will definitely be coming back to this series, it earned a place in my heart <3
