Oh man the condescending accusatory tone Zeke had when he asked if Fifth was gonna break up with him. He’s lucky the cake ended up on the floor and not in his face.

They haven’t even brought up the fact that Zeke lied about his past and issue with Kevin.

Oh and Fifth’s instinct to lie to Zeke because he doesn’t want to upset Zeke… that’s an unhealthy relationship babe.

Yes this episode was the first time I admitted to myself that these characters shouldn’t be together.

I’m looking forward to how they fix that. lol

If Zeke doesn’t find himself on his knees groveling at Fifth’s feet, apologizing for not only lying and cheating but gaslighting Fifth and being overall toxic and machismo, then he’s going right out into the dumpster fire with the rest of the series.

I’m so glad I stuck through the first series and made it to the movie. I really really enjoyed this one.

THANK YOU! I just added it.

Yeah the pilot trailer isn’t giving me much either (not that it needs to being an upfront pilot and all) but I trust this screenwriter and director implicitly and the source material (School 2013) is one of the best kdramas of all time. So I’m gonna be seated for this when it airs. The bromantic chemistry needs to be just right (and the queer subtext is a must) in order to remotely live up to Jongsuk and Woobin.

… that we know of yet. 😆 There is still time for Shun Yu to somehow also be kidnapped with Shang to provide that classic childhood connection trope.

It’s because it’s not officially available internationally with eng subs, so impatient ninnies give it a bad rating rather than wait for official release or fan subs. Also most BLs get an immediate 7-range rating and slowly increase or decrease over time because no one has learned to grade on a curve.

The writer used his personal religious upbringing and conflict with his sexuality to make some art. It’s absolutely not ok to limit self expression because of how it may make others uncomfortable. If it’s triggering to someone, it’s better they just don’t watch it.

Does anyone wanna play a drinking game? Take a drink every time a plot point is lifted from what’s wrong with Secretary Kim?

Perth and Chimon have fantastic platonic chemistry but they are proving that platonic chemistry cant always translate into romantic chemistry (not everyone can be firstkhao lol). Although Perth is really giving it his all (as always).

They explain the timeline in episode 1 but it could be confusing to some due to the snappy somewhat chaotic editing style. The events of this series take place approximately three years after the events of Cutie Pie 2 You.

I know y’all love to rag on wigs in BL series of late, but what in tragic root spray are they doing to Sky’s hairline???

Is it too much root color touch up spray or just a bad hair piece? I can’t tell anymore.

No. It’s a spin off. The ML and FL from SWDBS will make an appearance and may be referenced, but you could watch it as a standalone. However, SWDBS still ranks as one of top kdramas of all time, so if you haven’t watched it, I urge you to do so. It was part of the circa 2017 Korean Wave (when kdramas and kpop first started to gain widespread attention particularly in Europe and North America) and it also marks the significant rise of the nice male leads trend, which has thankfully carried on to today.

Hesitating to start this. SWDBS was one of my first kdramas and lives very well and comfortably in my heart to this day.

She could play sisters with Jamie Juthapich.

He did his own dubbing which is better than if someone else’s voice were used, but the dubbing doesn’t match his mouth and that bothers me so much. It’s why I usually cannot make it through dubbed cdramas. I also dislike the audio quality of dubbing. It sounds too fake. I often can’t watch anime (in original dub nor English dub) for the same reasons. Once in awhile I’m able to get used to the dubbing (Love Between Fairy and Devil is one example), but other times I find the line delivery from the dubbing actor to be so monotone or emotionless or conversely over-acted that I can’t finish the series despite enjoying everything else (The Kings Avatar for instance).

The hero we deserve!
