When I first started watching bl's, I cried a lot. Then I became kind of desensitized. I just watched the final three episodes of Only Boo and cried several times. Wow. They really put us through it. This series was a lot better than I expected it to be when I first started watching it. They did a great job. I wonder if we'll see more of these two in the future. I hope so! Also, all the singing in this was great!
Almost everything about this show is stellar. I can't get past the weak premise because it keeps coming back to bite us. "It was your back I fell in love with..." okay. right. But, somehow, this is an A-class series anyway. The acting, directing, music is all awesome.
I don't understand why Sun lied like that. I mean, I wonder if we'll get more of an explanation. Was he afraid Lin wouldn't like him for himself, so he lied for that one date, knowing they'll meet the next day at the office? And now the brother's going to have the same problem with both his intern friends and the one wants to pursue. I'm glad, at least, that there won't be a long, drawn-out lie between Sun and Lin.
This is in the series.If you read the novel, it is about a trailer of one of Tong's movies - Joe's first job as…
I am glad that the author somehow made it believable. I had a feeling it must be that way. But it isn't being conveyed in the show, which is too bad. I'm sure they felt the fight scene would be easier, and it might have worked, only they didn't give us enough Ming back story. All we saw was him standing there staring at that one fight scene and what he thought was the actor's back. It's difficult to go from that to his being in love with Tong (whom he thought the back belonged to.) Then, they take this unbelievable thing even further and we are supposed to believe that New Joe's back ALSO looks like original Joe's back, which makes it easy enough for Ming to use him as a stand-in as long as they do it from the back , just like it was when he used Joe to stand in for Tong. Sad since the actors are doing a phenomenal job.)
I get the feeling that New Joe is just supposed to be so much like Old Joe. Probably in mannerisms and stuff,…
I definitely don't hate the show. I kind of love it. I'm just annoyed that the premise is so ridiculous. I'm just not sure how Ming can look that the New Joe guy and think of the old Joe. (I mean, disregarding his doppleganger back, of course.)
The angst is strong with this one, and oh, how I love it. "Take my bleeding heart and trample it even more....…
The do so well with a really sh*tty concept. How interesting that there are 3 guys who have the same backs and that two of them are named Joe. Wonder what's happened to New Joe's soul? Maybe it slammed into Old Joe's body as he he somehow landed on a huge pile of feathers then wandered off somewhere with amnesia and is living a life in Bangkok.
And it's not just the fact that Ming fell in love with Joe's back---it's that while he's crying and apologizing, he's hugging New Joe's back. It's so ridiculous. And at the same time, it's effing touching, because Up does a wonderful job with that scene.

It's because of his BACK. (lol) That premise is so stupid and ruins an otherwise great show. Ming fell in love with what he thought was Tong's back. Joe's back looked the same, so Ming used him as a stand in, thinking of Tong while he was looking at Joe's back. Then, when Joe died, he sees New Joe's back and it reminds him of Joe's back. Then Ming finds out it was Joe's back all along because he did the fight scene that Ming saw and just didn't get credit for it. It is literally so stupid.
Just watched episode 7. The actors are phenomenal. They're still doing a great job from everything I've seen so far. The direction, etc., seems pretty good. I'm not a good judge of that, but I haven't seen anything glaring. Overall background music seems good and appropriate. I mean, nothing major stands out that makes it feel like it was done in a hurry, like some series I've watched. But it definitely isn't perfect. I still can't get past "the back" thing, especially as it's just a major part of the plot. My God, who falls in love with a back? Maybe if they'd shown Ming as a younger boy watching and rewatching the scene at home, so into "Tong's" back...but even that sounds ridiculous. Or maybe if he'd gone on and on about how he loves the moves, etc. I don't know! For such a major part of the plot, it ought to make sense! The "attack" scene before Tong knocked on the hotel room door was so good. I really felt for Joe.
