Why did I trust the high reviews?!? This is a drama that you watch and then regret you spent the 16 hours finishing…
That's why I read the reviews and ratings together and watch first few episodes and drop it when the first couple of episodes fail to impress me, which this did. I usually have good instincts and rarely do I watch dramas that it gets better after a few episodes except maybe one or two. If not, I usually skip episodes and watch 1 middle episode and watch the final episode to see if I like the ending, if not, I will drop it. I also read the drama recaps to see if I want to pursue wasting 16 hrs of my life (if I'm on the fence whether to continue watching or not).

because he's more concerned what people will think of him if he admits he's gay. So basically runs away - out…
Think of it this way, at least it is a better path than a lot of the Chinese BL movies take which ends up in death.

Heard of a new "BL", comes here to see the cast and see 2 of my least-liked actors in a drama: Pass.

Title The Novelist Spoiler
Check out Adam Uni's FB page
Not sure why you want to sub when it's already subbed. But as long as you don't post it anywhere or upload it on the web without his permission, I guess it is okay if the files are only yours to view.

By the way, Strongberry and Matchbox are different production companies, right? If so, glad that you are supporting each other's works. Although Strongberry have fewer titles than Matchbox, I personally am a fan of Strongberry, but I will try a few titles of Matchbox.

Title Yandai Byway No.10 Spoiler
Thanks very much! :)
The special episodes show only cut scenes in the middle and is not a reconciliation. The series ends when they broke up as LZ just wants to be friends.

It's not totally realistic as three couples (all friends) being involved in cheating is ridiculous, it is not…
I agree with all your comments on this thread, despite being a fan of TWM, I can still objectively see that this next chapter pretty much suck balls.

That's really harsh. I mean, 20% rate with 1? The series makes a lot of mistakes, that's true, but it's not that…
Likewise the 25% rating 10 must be sniffing MaxTul's armpit hair. Sad to say that even as a big fan of TWM and the boys, I am not delusional to see the second season as a slice of heaven.

“Pardon me, but do you mind if we assassinate your character just a little bit?”— The Agony Booth, Star…
@bakaao, you hit the nail on the head. Despite TWM being one of my all time favorites, this season is just being bastardized. I have stopped at episode 2 not even wanting to go further to sully the memory that is TWM. I for one were not one of the fans to ask for second seasons. I always let sleeping dogs lie. Sequels never really had a track record for being better or being as equally good as the first except for maybe some popular (but mostly Western) shows. Sotus S didn't live up to the first season but it wasn't horrible either. So I'm really wary of watching sequels of anything unless somebody proves it to me otherwise. It's like the upcoming My Bromance 2. Why "resurrect" a guy who's thought to be dead? Sounds flaky to me. If it's just money to be made because of the Popularity of the first season, then it is the wrong motivation to produce a sequel. If there is unfinished business or a story to be told, then maybe a second season is warranted but not when TWM ended neat and tidy. It should have been left alone.

Title My Dream Spoiler
I don't usually watch a series that is airing and will wait until reviews and ratings to watch a show. And I must say I should have stuck to my usually strategy. I wanted to drop it after the first 3 episodes but maybe I was getting impatient so I gave it more chances and watched it to ep5 but Runway stringing Tanaka along is just not right. As Guide already told him that being given hope is far worse than being rejected. Let Tanaka move on and don't use him as a convenient ride to your house. I could not connect to any of the characters or couples as I did with some other BL series. I guess the dream like State of the series is just not working for me. But at least it is not like the disaster that is the sequel to one of my fave BL shows, TWM.

I have yet to see a drama sequel that is as good or better than the first season....for example, Sotus S wasn't as good as Sotus....I think somethimes it's because we have high expectations after viewing the first season that you think that they will try to do an equally good drama or a better production.....granted that it is only a few episodes in as of this writing, there is still a chance that the show will redeem itself. So far though, the rinse repeat cycle of "Bad Romance" is not working. And the comedic cues where they expect people to laugh is like an " Applause" sign in the studio: clapping when you are told and not when you want to.

I am not too sure if it is Yihwa and Cho's trying-too-hard relationship that is detracting from the show. Heck, Korn x Knock's kissing scenes are way better than theirs. I like Yihwa's character better in TWM as a supporive best friend to Korn. Not so much in "Bad Romance." Also, they do not need to rehash old problems and can focus instead on introducing new characters and/or new angles. The first TWM spoiled me as the scenes were hot and the plot was heavy...but so far TWM2 is lukewarm. Hope they turn on the heat within the next few episodes as MaxTul's on-screen chemistry shouldn't be put to waste.

Title Love by Chance Spoiler
I’d rather die than watch something so messy lol. I’m good. Being part of the LGBT+ community brings some…
I think the problem with the step-brother story is that it started as an off-hand comment without any proper introduction - it was when Type was telling Tum about being in love with his own brother and something about his boyfriend....a few times I had to consult the chart to see who Type was talking about.....so it came out of left-field and did not prepare anybody with a backstory like they afforded the main couple, or even Tin-can though we will eventually find out later....but at least everybody had a proper introduction..........Not against step-bro relationships, as we can see that a lot of BL use this also a a popular trope...it is just they try to pack a lot of relationships in one series almost at the same time.....seeing there could be a potential 12 pairings...they can limit maybe like to 3 pairings per season or just concentrate on a few and leave the rest for later. Hopefully as the series progresses, they will give a little bit more weight to other characters who so far see very little screen time.
