Ah I only mentioned it to prove a point about incomplete judgement. I've never seen it so I can't share any opinions (agree/disagree with you) about it. And just a note, you're already comparing BB as a whole with ITSAY despite it only being 2 episodes. Of course, not directly, but when you talk about another show in its entirety, wouldn't you need the base show to be in entirety as well? Furthermore, based on what people are saying about the novel, I think this does have potential to be more. Right now it's quite comedic and has little sense of seriousness, but in the future they will be dealing with angst topics (at least, what novel folks are saying?) so that's one potential way to boost this comedy into engaging in more serious topics. Shows that can balance the cute and comedy with angst topics, if done right, can be rather enjoyable.

Yes, I hope so too. I'm not into these first two episodes as much as I'd like to but I am hopeful and I hope other people who feel the same stay tuned for more episodes. It's also too early to leave now and give it a bad review/rating, imo.

Yes definitely you can but only if with other series's first 2 episodes as well. That would be a fair comparison. But if you were to say "wow these 2 episodes show that BB is in a league of its own compared to ITSAY as an overall series", you'd definitely be having a biased and incomplete judgement. Again, you can, but doesn't make it fair.
Ah noticed you edited your earlier comment. I'll keep mine the same since the main point is to encourage fair comparisons.

The acting and chemistry is definitely the highlight but since it's only 2 episodes, I think it's a little too early to give it a "class apart from the rest". We don't really have the material/content to even compare to already completed series/dramas.

Not really? Numbers are simply being calculated. Idk what you mean when you say "weigh more" but if, I assume, you mean how low scores "have more value than" high scores, (that's why the rating is so low) then there's very little chance of favoritism over scores if all they're doing is combining and getting the average. After all, the average is everyone's score, not just the 20 people.

No problem. Also I think the overall rating we see on the main page doesn't have anything to do with the episode ratings. Because we see that over 1000+ have already voted for the overall while in the episode ratings only have around 100 total if we count both episodes, 70 for the first ep and 38 for the second ep. Everyone can only vote once, both for the overall and for episode ratings. Whoever is intent on manipulating the overall rating won't have much luck, unless they make multiple fake accounts.

Considering that it's already completed, that could just be its rating? Ratings drop quick because low ratings are supposed to affect the overall. For example, if out of 100 ratings there are 80 people that gave it a 10, if just 20 are 1 rating, the rating automatically becomes 8.2 even if there are 80 people that gave a 10/10. Majority gave it a high rating so why is the rating so low? It's just simple math. Idk how MDL calculates, but when they used to still show the stats and the number of people's votes, the numbers are pretty much like that. Majority give 8.5 and over, but with just a couple in the below 5 can drastically affect the overall.

Interesting. I've seen shows increase overtime and shows decrease overtime but the rating remains relatively constant once the shows are over. Not sure how true it is that ratings gets stuck but I would have to agree too that no one should take any show by their rating alone. Always go for the review section and comments section.

you can also click on the "episode guide" up in the header, click on the episode, and add "new reaction"

not to mention cringy english lines lol those lines felt so robotic

Yea based on what everyone has been saying and revealing based on novel, I'm looking forward to the later parts. These intro parts just aren't as engaging.

based on his personality in interviews, yilong gives off such a positive aura. i feel cleansed when listening to him talk

Really? I actually think people are easy to please nowadays. I feel like as long as the mains are good looking, the show is pretty much set. Most of the comments praising the show have been about Ohm and Nanon, while most of the complaints have been about the show itself.

NEW and updated: Episode 9 curse lololol

imo if people can already say this story is 10/10 just based on 2 episodes then people should also be able to say this show is 0/10 based on 2 episodes too. i think giving thoughts about the show shouldn't be limited to only those who like and give good scores. just as people see the good points and emphasize it, others see the bad points and emphasize those. some may dislike but will stick around to see if it's better giving the show a chance, some will stay and complain all throughout 12 episodes, but hey, that's another person adding to engagement and views, and some will drop completely and focus on other things, which is good for them.

most of the time, aside from the dress-code and setting, not much a difference between college and hs. but of course, i think there's a difference between college freshmen vs hs senior and college junior/senior vs hs senior.

they don't have the score stats yet but considering 1000+ already voted and probably more incoming, i think the ratings probably reflect what those voters are thinking. so far there's been an increase in critique along side praises, so it makes complete sense the ratings have gone down. Hopefully future episodes manage to change people's minds, if they continue watching.

So the fighting was stupid. I skipped it. As others have said, Pat's friends are literal trash. They belong in the garbage. Unless there is character development in the future, I don't think I will ever have an once of affection for these individuals. Pran's friends are slightly better. But regardless, they all still engage in school violence. I also hope the fighting ceases soon so we can focus on more important matters. Pat at least has some decency as a human being but he's hanging out with trash. Looks like his gang is tainting the little moral he has left. If they don't get character development, I hope he ditches them. He clearly doesn't vibe with some of their toxic behaviors.

I thought some of the best moments in this episode was when it's just Pat and Pran. The chemistry is cute. I wholeheartedly wait for the day when all this wasteful fighting goes away and we get some actual story telling.

Japanese BL stories and rooftop scenes go hand in hand lol

I'd like to thank y'all in the comments for sharing info. Let's keep sharing the goods because I started watching Kieta Hatsukoi cuz y'all were talking about it. Amen. Another good one onto the list.
