he is supposed to be but honestly I did not really notice him so I can't tell. there are too many friends at times in the show so it's hard for me to know who is who.

Looking forward to the return of OHM FLUKE. I did not really consider Close Friends 2 their return but this is.

this show could have been something special if it was fleshed out more.

Is Call My Name coming after this ? which tells the story of Mark's best friend with Vee's older brother ?

Kimmon and Copter really need to learn their worth and stop accepting any and every job thrown at them.

Episode 4 was SO GOOD.. this deserves 12 episodes

the texting scene reminded me a lot of the scene in I promised you the moon when he went back and checked all the texts he sent him while they were broken up.

Is it bad that I didn't feel sorry for Ji Woo one bit in the last 2 minutes of episode 8 ?

I'm confused.. did we get a legitimate reason why he left ? I really thought we would get a health plot or that he had a mental problem possibly... but this ? ok

The editing of this episode is sloppy and really sporadic. I'm really confused half of the time... it's reminding me of Physical Therapy the series lol

How did they manage to do 12 almost 1 hour episodes of this show that has no plot whatsoever confuses me ? It's so bad and it has now tainted the beauty of the special episode.

I hope this series continues after this season.. would love a proper story telling of Nuea as well when he meets his love interest.

Why are they making Ploy out to be this bad person ? when Mark and Vee literally had sex with each other lol.. I'm enjoying them together a lot though.. their chemistry is undeniable.

they are definitely setting up season 2 at this point.. that kitchen scene is definitely setting up the timetaytem storyline for season 2.

did they renovate the inside of Porsche's house ? lol

Not me paying for IQIYI and it's not working for my all day. smh

Half of the year is gone and I've re-watched this 5 times and this remains my favorite BL of 2022 :
My Top 5 are
Blueming
Semantic Error
Dear Doctor
Triage
Cherry Blossom

you do ? I always consider any show that doesn't reach 10k as having flopped. Love Stage wasn't promoted internationally or had a proper release and still only have 8k viewers. but I guess there isn't much of other shows to compare it to.. I can only compare it to other shows that were promoted properly. that's the only metric to use.

Wow this is now up to a 8.5 !! amazing ! sad part is the amount of watchers is extremely low for a show with only 2 episodes left.. my metric of success is :
10,000 - solid viewership
15,000 - successful
20,000 - smash hit .
This only having 5600 watchers is really concerning when Manner of Death has 27,000 as of now.. I hope this can eventually reach 10,000 but doesn't seem likely

I love that it was like a reunion as the lead guy who plays LI GONG was also in MODC. felt like a full circle moment.
