when will we move on from the "completely innocent male lead who's terrified of small affection gestures" trope...

nah be fr all their cheek kisses feel forced af... and every time they get close you'll notice Book's arm closest to the camera being down while the opposite arm is grabbing Force's neck, most likely as instructed by the director to prevent obstructing their faces but it makes the whole thing stiff and unnatural

must be the director's..? idk it throws me off so much it never fits the mood of the scene lmao

S3 is confirmed and should air next year...

most storylines are incredibly stupid and hard to believe (enough with GoEun's "hacking", it feels so much like a 2005 episode of CSI), and JeHoon does overact some bits which gets so cringy i found it hard to look at... but i still give it an 8 because the drama is incredibly entertaining and Jehoon's fight scenes are so cathartic they make you forget all the plot holes (and he's hot, that helps)

could someone explain to me the countless mouth close ups? especially when they are eating food or drinks… it always lasts a bit too long to look sensual (if thats even what they’re going for) pretty odd

oh well ..

this series still gives me nightmares

i can't find it on gmmtv's channel is it geoblocked?? ㅠㅠ

just watched the trailer and my hopes are up

hopefully the reason we got all the crappy shows this year is because GMMTV put all their money into this one

Ended up watching the first 5 eps today... Lacking a bit of steam in ep 5 imo (why do they always need a sad backstory? it was never hinted at the whole time they were flirting so it felt a bit out of place tbh)
But I guess the "short" format of this series makes up for it (no more than 8 eps focused on one couple right??)
Overall a great series so far, although I'm a bit worried for what's to come... BookForce seems to be the strongest pairing in terms of chemistry/acting so i'm a bit apprehensive of the other couples. I know Perth is great, but I'm not entirely sold on Santa (seems to be doing a bit too much) and I couldn't see the chemistry between MarkJunior during the midnight dinner scene...

I didn’t add We Are to my watchlist because I disliked quite a bit PondPhuwin’s acting in Never Let Me Go (which had terrible writing so the fault is not entirely on them) but if you’re telling me they improved I might give it a chance… Overall which do you think is best, We Are or Perfect 10 Liners?

Is this show good? Or at least promising? With recent questionable releases by GMMTV like Kidnap and The Trainee I’m a bit wary of starting yet another show with bad writing and bad acting…

I'm watching this alongside rewatching the OG and altough the cast here is not bad at all the acting in the first season was much more natural and raw... I think the writing is more to blame than the actors themselves because there's so many pauses where they just look awkwardly at each other which could've been filled with some more dialogue... There's even some plot details that are lost which I was only reminded while watching the OG. For example the reason Phun puts the hoodie on Noh is to hide his school uniform since they're going out at night, not just because... It's these little details that if mentioned make the story flow better! Anyways just venting a little, overall the show is not bad at all

Ah I see... Then the added SA in the series was a weird choice if it didn't exist in the story to begin with smh

I don't want you to get into too much details, maybe I'll try to read it but thanks!

Yeah for some reason the SA scenes screamed manhwa thanks for confirming!

Btw was the breakup scene explained better in the manhwa? I have a hard time understanding Seheon’s reasoning there…

Does this series come from a manhwa?

someone on letterboxd said that the plot moved faster than a car crash and i couldnt agree more
absolutely no substance to this movie, felt like they just wanted to film some erotic scenes and composed the most basic and rushed plot to make it happen

i don't get the praise here the acting was bad and the music choices are weird.. overall very amateur realization

The original is a classic and everyone like me who watched it around the time of release would tell you how fond they are of it, but honestly starting it now could be pretty disappointing... It has clichés, sexism and lgbt phobia, and I remember how frustrating it was back in the days when the story asked for skinship and they just couldn't deliver most likely due to homophobic guidelines at the time. However both main leads where great in their roles so maybe I'd recommend watching their cuts only to get the feel of it without the frustration!
