Same here! I started on the 29th and watched over 20 episodes straight throughout the entire weekend. I was so immersed that I didn’t even step outside my house. 🥳

That was one of the most intense and beautifully executed love scenes I’ve seen in a series. The combination of passionate kisses, intimate touches, and sensual dialogue—especially “Punish me until you’re satisfied”—created an incredibly powerful moment. Phu’s moaning added to the depth of the scene, making it even more captivating. I only wish it had lasted longer.

I’m genuinely surprised by how much I enjoy this series—it has exceeded my expectations. I started this show late due to the overwhelming 24 episodes, but I’ve already binge-watched the first six and will likely reach episode 22 by the end of the weekend. I find ForceBook even more compelling in this series, but the couple I’m most excited about is PerthSanta. I loved Santa in My Only 12% and am thrilled that he joined GMMTV and was paired with Perth.

It seems that GMMTV has a fetish for rooftop scenes, as well as an obsession with featuring engineering facilities in all their BL series 🤣

All four male leads are absolutely gorgeous—even the additional support cast - Ian with his blonde hair looks amazing. But the story is moving far too slowly. We’re already at episode 9, with only four episodes left, and it feels like there has been little progress.

The two main leads clearly have feelings for each other, yet they keep playing this endless game of cat and mouse. Even the secondary couple is frustrating—despite admitting they like each other, one of them is still going through with a marriage. What is going on?

It also feels like many Taiwanese BL dramas follow the same formula: two main leads, a secondary couple, and some tragic past event, whether it’s a car accident or the loss of a parent.

I really hope they can turn things around in the last four episodes. It would be such a waste of a stunning cast.

Thank you for the clarification. I’m currently watching another Korean drama called Weak Hero Class 1, and its upcoming sequel is titled Weak Hero Class 2, so I was a bit confused with this one.

Regarding Squid Game, Didn’t he got shot in the head and died in season 2, I’m so confused as he got casted for season 3?

I haven’t read the manhwa yet. Is Heesu in Class 2 the first installment, or is there a preceding series, such as Heesu in Class 1? Or is ‘2’ just part of the title?

I thoroughly enjoyed this show as well; however, I believe a rating of 7.4 is fair. Given its relatively low budget and limited cast—primarily consisting of only the three main leads—the rating seems justified. If you observe, the majority of the scenes take place in only a few locations, such as a bar, a coffee shop, or a home, which further supports the moderate rating. Rating this show above an 8 would not seem fair, especially when compared to other series, such as Secret Relationship, which holds an 8.3 rating. Secret Relationship kept me fully engaged throughout, with every episode offering thrilling moments, exciting plot twists, and well-placed flashbacks. The performances from the actors were exceptional, the male leads were particularly captivating, the cinematography was outstanding, and the overall plot was gripping.

Thank you for this. I attempted to search for it, and the result indicates 179 cm, which is certainly not accurate. He is definitely taller than that.

Could someone kindly explain why, after being happy together in Season 1, they broke up in Season 2? What was the primary reason for their separation?

Does anyone know his height? I’m loving him from both Blossom Campus and Checkered Shirt.

JJ was supposed to be higher but the special episode left me in tears for a few day 😭

Thank you for your detailed response. I will begin this evening and am truly excited to get started. I will be sure to update you on my progress once I have completed it.

I enjoy all genres; however, I am currently somewhat tired of themes centered around high school or university.

It seems we have similar tastes. Could you share some other dramas you enjoy so that I can add them to my watchlist? 🥳

For me, best series for 2025 is Secret Relationship (Korean)

Sing My Crush (Korean) is the cutest couple ever 10/10

Could anyone please advise me on whether this series is worth starting? I’m starting to tire of the high school/university BL theme. Also, I’d be interested to know which shows it is similar to.

I have watched over 100 BL series, primarily from Thailand, Korea, and Taiwan. This is my second Japanese BL, and I would highly recommend it.

While the production quality—such as the graphics, color, and cinematography—may not be as high as that of Korean dramas, I thoroughly enjoyed this series. I binge-watched all 11 episodes in one sitting. The chemistry between the two male leads was captivating, evolving from friendship to a deeper connection, progressing to their first kiss, and ultimately culminating in them falling in love with each other. I felt a sense of relief when Haruki's father passed away, as he was portrayed as an abusive alcoholic. It was difficult to believe that Japanese law does not provide more protection for children in such situations. Had this been in Australia, Haruki would have received extensive support, including free accommodation, food, and a safe home. I am, however, grateful that Jin was there to support him.

My only criticism is that it seems unrealistic that, after loving each other and being separated for over five years, they could not contact each other through platforms like Instagram or Facebook. While Jin lost his phone in America, in reality, they could easily have reached out to one another if they truly wanted to.

Overall, I would rate this drama 9 out of 10. I appreciated how each episode beautifully developed their relationship, from high school to adulthood, allowing us to see their love grow with each passing moment. My favorite part was the ending, where Haruki mentions that, although Japan does not have legal gay marriage, he will always be there for Jin. This was a deeply realistic and emotional sentiment, and I could see myself in Haruki's position one day.

I look forward to watching more Japanese BL series in the future.
