The violence served no narrative purpose. If it did, it'd be fine.

Didn't he specifically say he was going to do that? And then didn't. Makes no sense lol

If you could erase Episodes 6-11, and just had a series with Episodes 1-5 and 12, this would be an incredible drama.

What is this show's obsession with blood splattering on faces? Is that like a euphemism or something?

Also about the intimate scene, I think an increasing number of BL fans just want every Korean or Japanese BL series to basically be "Heated Rivalry" in terms of sex scenes and making out. Which I think completely ignores the culture of the series they're actually watching.

What a wonderful, comforting series. I really enjoyed it.

I think for a series, the finale was fine. I read about what they left out from the novel, and I think that would have been unnecessarily dragging out the ending. The way the finale played out, it works better this way since it brings about the resolution to their story in a more impactful and immediate way. For a six episode series, the finale fits and works well.

Right! I was just surprised to see that now. So basically a two and a half hour movie. 😢

Im sorry. But that "Touchdown" song was the most annoying thing while watching the show. I muted the TV every time it started playing.

Okay, that makes more sense. Because I can't imagine how they could stretch it out much longer. Hehe.

Yeah i just watched episodes 36-40 thinking it was the finale week.but it wasnt so i was surprised.

70 episodes?! Really? 😬

So far, the best aspect is definitely the production. Very cinematic quality. It's really like a movie and not a series. Viva's other TV series don't look as good as this.
Story wise, pacing is a bit awkward. I haven't seen the original so I don't know if it's adapted line-for-line. But it's still okay.
Acting is hit or miss, but not so horrible. What takes me out of the series more is the obvious ADR/dubbing of lines for the actors who aren't fluent in Tagalog. Many times their mouths don't match the audio. It can be distracting.

But overall, three episodes so far are solid watches.

I mean, is this March's first BL drama?

Is this March's first BL drama? (Not first BL story of course hehe)

My spidey senses for my hopeless romantic BL-crazed self totally went off when Euigyeom's mom asked him if had a girlfriend and then immediately asked if Yoongi had one. 🤭

I hope not. 40 episodes is good enough. That's basically 20 Korean TV episodes, which parang K-drama ang atake ng show so far anyway. Hindi na kailangan paikot-ikot.

Thank goodness it is only 40 episodes. That gives me hope they have a tight story like Slay was. (The Viu version that is. The GMA edit dragged it out too much)

Just one, like, sweet couple. Any other couple is toxic and problematic lol

Yes actually. Not a major plot thread, but theres a series-long little romance.
