My last comment when the upcoming episode was ep.7, about my intention to watch this series, And today, finally... watched ep.1. Haha! So far so good, will look how it will progress. Oh... also learn that creator of this story also same with Only Boo! which also in my plan to watch list. So maybe will watch it subsequently or concurrently with this show.

I watched it but still unable to comprehend. That's why I ask did he trick or persuade them (that he could help them make more money)? I didn't write in full to avoid spoiler.

A bit confusing with the ending. Did Chusan persuade or trick Fei Qi's subordinates to release him?
Btw, overall, I think the show is good. I know from the beginning, with gangster elements there, will be a bit hard for me to understand. The structures and interactions on how those gangs operate, there are a lot of names but I didn't know how those names are related. Still not too hard to understand overall storylines, fortunately they not skew too much from Liuyi and Chusan. I just focus much on them, that preserve much of my understanding about this show. Opening and ending OST also good. It's worth to be on playlist.
But obviously, based on the ending, I think the production show their intention for S2. I hope it's really like that and everything will go smooth. Also, if there are S2, focus on Liuyi and Chusan will continue, maybe after Liuyi released and try to rebuild his life without gangster's world with help from Chusan. About 2nd pair, I'm more favour to keep them as 2nd pair or if want to focus much on them, then spin-off show.
Touch a bit about Chang Xi and Yan Zhao interactions outside the series, really nice to see despite keep reminding myself "I'm no longer do that (shipping). I'm not young anymore". Haha! Also while look like this series help them become more popular, but hopefully not at the expense of the calmness of their life.
Well, I'm looking for next developments. Hope there will be good news.

Just scrolling and found there will be ep. 6 😆
But I think my review will remain, as it's just a general review.

Well, I think it's done. Actually, this is second series I watched from the studio. The first one is My Key Chain, a few years ago. I enjoy their shows, although seem amateur and low budget, but it's not bad. Somehow, I'm prefer this kind of show than from certain big names of production, maybe suit with my age now. When new episode release, can just casually watch it without feeling heavy or lazy. It's relax, not intense, didn't have any expectation, just watch it 'organically' like our own real life.

There are episode 4 and it's good, feel better conclusion than just at episode 3. But didn't know either it's final episode or not.

First, I'm feel funny. That's easiest and common feeling to have for short series. Then, I'm feel Yoon Su got bullied. But from then, everything just escalated to something that I didn't expect for short series especially 'those scenes'. Even some full series didn't have that. Feel like POV of Yoon Su when he watch 'that kind of stuff' from his phone and laptop.
I think it's worth to watch. At first just want to give 7.0, but feel it's okay for 7.5 as well. For improvements, I think they should add more expressions, either facial or tonal. But more than that, really recommending for at least another one episode, just to show finally Yoon Su move out and stay together with Ha Jin. I think that's good conclusion for the show.

I'm among viewers who gave S1 full ratings 10/10. As this S2, the most honest I could give was 8/10. For ep. 1 to 6, not bad, but feel just too day-to-day, routines scenes and too focus on their career than relationship. For some, it's realistic, but as a show, I think should be entertaining. During airing of those episodes, feel like dragging my feet to keep going. I didn't know how much other viewers "fallen" between ep.1 to 6, unable to continue. But good side of ep.1 to 6 showed their supportiveness to each other in countering every challange of their career.
For me, this S2 start from ep.7 and above. From there, dynamics of the story just get interesting, focus again on their relationship, not on the sideline. Feel delighted as this S2 seem make a comeback from there, last 4 episodes showed Touma and Natsume familiar characters, just like S1. Presence of Touma's dad and brother really enhancing plots there.
Overall, S2 still a good show. If I could give a suggestion, those career centric scenes from ep. 1 to 6 limited to 2-3 episodes only, will be better and later make it as a background or sidelines scenes only, just like ep.7 and above. As a subtitute, they could make Riku closeness to Natsume (due to unconfident as the beginning of Riku's career) be misunderstood to Touma. Well, as mention previously, I even hope Harukawa still there for this S2. I will give 8.5 if he's there. I assumed Riku as a spiritual successor to Harukawa.
Actually I didn't expect for S2, but it's good to have it. If they think about S3, if any, hope they will take ep.7 and above as a reference and foundation. That's all my cents.

Day to day, in silent, hoping and waiting, there are announcement for S2. I'm keep thinking about it...

I think this is the most "JDM" from all Japanese series that I ever watch until now. While the story is simple, but storytelling's elements and contexts there can be quite challenging to be understand especially for international viewers. Hard to find good translation also could excerbating the situation. All those deliquents culture, Japanese history and literature, might consume a bit of focus and energy to understand. As for comedic elements, I think this is unique to this series despite it's hit and miss for me. It's hit especially Toru's monoloque voice when encountered Kishi, I like the tone of his voice there. But it's miss especially when Toru and his gang's exaggerated actions and talks whenever it's related with deliquency. It's not bad, but a bit confusing to understand. I even think those deliquencies things are the hardest to understand. About Japanese history and literature, I'm learned a bit back in my school time, so I got a bit of the idea of those things.
Overall, it's decent series. Interactions between Toru and Kishi either during or outside tutor sessions are the precious and main focus of this series. I'm waiting for special episode(s) if any. This is second series played by Tanaka Koki for me, first one is Sugar Dog Life. I'm also surprised that Toru is him as I unable to realised it beforehand. This also first series played by Rei Sawamura for me. I think for quite a long time, whenever I hear his voice, will associated him with Kishi Naito.

Thanks to all replies of clarifications. I'm never experiencing these as most of time, those short web series shows already ended for a some time before I get know about it. This is first time when it's still ongoing.

This just 17 minutes but I'm experiencing waves of emotions, from shock to excited, then sad and finally relief. I think if they make it 30 minutes, story plots will be better especially during Riku and his mom talk to each other, revealing relationship. I think excitement and nervousness could be add there. Also, can add some flashback at the early of the show, like when Keita confess to Riku, giving audiences some clue that they already in relationship because I'm clueless for a while that they already in relationship since the beginning. Overall, I think this show is good.

I'm assuming ep.7 last week as a transition for more balanced story plot. Ep. 8 this week make excitement return for the series. Hope the last two episodes will be great.

Hopefully like that. I'm feel bizarre as never encounter any situation like this. If membership for entire series or only ep.1 with general availability, that's still common.

Did they set ep.3 just for member? So how I could complete this show? I thought that's their pattern, but I saw they didn't do that for previous series, just for uncut version, that's okay.
Didn't feel necessary to become member just for 8 minutes single episode. Now I'm stuck unable to complete it. Maybe will move to on-hold until any other resource available.

I'm curious about high rating of this series as it's still in my plan to watch list. Quite hesitate to start as last time watch full fledge Thai BL series was TharnType, back to 2019. I'm still 20's back then, still high in energy and excitement to consume full fledge series. Now in 30's, feel partially retired. Haha! Will watch it later when ready. But first to thanks Thi Thirati (Tong) as I'm learn about this series through him.

Scrolling YT at 3.30 AM and found Be Mine, heard it... just so nostalgic. Already 7 years but still fresh in my mind. I think will just remain my profile pic. like this. Haha!

I think this series like a sandwich at convenience store, it's simple, light, fast and easy to consume. Perfect as an interlude show while waiting for next episode of the main series or as a "detox" if the main series just too intense or complicated. Pace of plots and storyline also good despite very short time frame, didn't feel "jumping" that create confusion and no unecessary scene too. Perfectly packed within compact space. There are no any plot twist or surprise, but that's the strength, just evoking calmness. Overall, it's good, proving that short series also can be done decently.

Ep. 7 is a sigh of relief for me. Bright and shine as their summer vacation, it's like myself joining them as well. Finally, there are episode that didn't have intense about works and more focus on their relationship, make me realize that this is still BL series.

Know about this series from IG which many says this series very underrated. I didn't know as not watch it yet. But when looking at my watchlist, there are only two series from Taiwan, both from History franchise, back to 2018 and 2019. That make me curious is that many Taiwanese series actually underrated or it's just for me only? Btw, I'm keen to watch this, finally third Taiwanese series after 7 years. Will give my review later.
