i didn’t like ji hun in the first episode but since then he is by far the best

but maybe because he enables the mc so much. both of them are the issue. the mc refuses to adjust his language for the person he’s loved and known since childhood. its laughable.

i know the synopsis makes you root for the second male love interest but in the show itself he is obnoxious

i agree. i related to ba u too but at a certain point it felt like he was just messing with hun’s head/heart

it was frustrating to have ji hun be blamed for being exactly the person do ba u fell for. i mean, if you know your friend struggles with ambiguity why are you speaking and expressing yourself in ambiguous ways?!

its not dub con, its rape!! ffs. he was roofied before!! and if you cannot understand why rape shouldn’t be depicted as smut you are too far gone, im done engaging.

certainly there are many portrayals that are responsible and do it not to titillate but to show the gravity. that would be a good portrayal. this spit in the face of any gravity, and did it entirely to shock/titillate. otherwise it wouldnt have been filmed like you film a smut scene! its absurd what you are trying to defend here. this is a good series otherwise must we defend its one obvious flaw?

i think i would rate it higher if it was what i was signing up for. but this is not a romance, this is a drama slice of life with romantic subplots. and because of those misplaced expectations i felt it grew very very tedious. i did like the characters, but the main character was dragged against his will tward some character development and it was so darn tedious.


its a high quality ensemble drama. its not a very good bl romance.

if august has no haters, im dead

good thing Wayne Song is giving it his all because Yu Xigu’s actor is a very weak actor.

i avoid tragedy endings like the plague but this comment made me watch this. the on1ly one has no ending and still i couldn’t stop thinking about the way their love for eachother was tangible and swoonier than any sex-forward bl ive seen thus far. i want to find more depictions of love like that so you sold this to me!

does this have a conclusive ending?

i think the on1y one opened me up to being sympathetic about step siblings in love(it was my first with that dynamic) but this, THIS is all the way wrong. i guess theres a reason i see people memeing about and dreading this trope. it seems done horribly 99% of the time.

im in it for the main couple now.

i gave this a 9.5 cos we get an open ending, BUT I CANT GET OVER IT. nothing will ever compare to the way these two love eachother.

so … 10/10

and i totally still believe if that was their first kiss instead of the rape scene, you couldnve had almost all scenes after and instead of a laughable and insulting portrayal of post rape suffering you could’ve had porsche staying up all night and everything after because he was kissed without consent and discovered he has some feelings for a man he thought he hated. because yeah, thats how “seriously” it was taken, not rape serious.

ok we have different opinions, but i doubt even you would call this a good portrayal of rape(and all it entails). its not good for the story, its not good in the messages that get imparted to viewers.

good but very underdeveloped

this is simply adorable, the cover image represents it perfectly

after finishing s1 and reading the synopsis here, im out. I struggled with teh the first time, but i cannot stand love triangle plots where the person is genuinely swayed. its a pet peeve.

i hope someone can help me if i have the wrong idea or something.

its getting hard to root for teh
