The information available in eps 1-4 never pointed to "only gay for you" trope. You would have to make a lot of…
"The characters' same-sex attraction seemed to be an isolated incident. It didn't seem to be a genuine expression of "queerness" And this is where your argumentation is wrong. At no point the drama told us the characters were straight. KiSub wanted JinWoo to ask him out, so he could accept him. Meaning he's not straight... JinWoo never questioned his love for a guy; he just doesn't want KiSub to be his crush. So we can guess that JinWoo isn't straight... Balgeum and In Ho were literally boyfriends in high school. We didn't see them question their sexual orientation. And we don't know if they went out with women or men since then. So, given all this, why would you assume the characters are "only gay for you"?! Why not conclude they're queer ? Does someone need to put on a label to validate their sexuality ? Why not just accept the facts the series presents us instead of making assumptions based on your value judgment ? You could have said you prefer when a character's sexual orientation is explicitely stated, cause maybe you need that in order to relate to them, but your criticism of the series is biaised and therefore unfounded.
Excellent acting from the male leads! Poom's Joe is so sweet, kind and naive. I hurt for him. And Up is wonderful as Ming, he's able to portray a toxic and manipulative jerk but a vulnerable one.
The scream I screamed when they kissed, even though it's Kang's imagination! And on episode 4 on top of that. This series keeps giving. I do not approve of Shone going after Kang. I didn't sign up for this mess. I'm not fond of Potae. It seems like he doesn't know what he's doing but something is off, I think he's aware of Payos's feelings, even subconsciously. Don't like this kind of baiting behavior.
A body swap is a storytelling device seen in a variety of science fiction and supernatural fiction, in which two…
Thank you! I've read several articles about the subject and often they use the terms body swap and transmigration without distinction, it was confusing. I get it now.
Can someone explain the difference between body swap and transmigration ? For some viewers, what happened to Joe isn't body swap but they don't explain their thoughts. Isn't body swap a form of transmigration ?
Excellent first episode. Engaging, great acting from the MCs, good directing. I'm impressed. It's already painful to see Joe giving his all for Ming cause it's obvious Ming is toxic. Can't wait for the angst. On another note, I love that they addressed the top/versatile subject. We don't see that enough in bl. It helps deconstruct stereoptypes.
Kicking my feet and giggling! These boys are killing me with their cuteness. I'm surprised by the chemistry and the heavy flirting. With Moo being a highschooler I was expecting something tame like MSP. Moo's boldness is refreshing, he obviously went to Kongpob's school of flirt and sass.
The way they talked about the NC scene you all thought we were getting something like MODC's locker room scene right lol. But I knew they would "sanitize" it. Even worse, they fucked up by adding flashbacks to such an important scene. They should have put them just before Qian accepted Yuan's love and they went upstairs.
They milked the angst until ep 11 but the pay off was so damn good (I absolutely love the acting intensity in ep10 and 11). However, I'm left a bit... disappointed ? I feel like we didn't see enough of YuanQian's happiness. They got together, we got Lili's drama and the series ended just like that. Like, it's missing something.
Thanks god the actors were excellent because the editing was bad (weird choices were made especially in ep 1 and 11, the BGM was overused), and the storyline was a bit wonky (no mention of Yuan's early life, the gangsters reappearance in ep10, Dr Lin and Le interaction in ep11, Lili's career and her relationship with Sa Pang...).
It was good but the storyline was quite confusing and became convoluted as it progressed. Tbh I kept watching for the characters and comedy. I'm not sure I'll watch season 2.
There's literally no bl out there without a shortcoming. At episode 9, the great acting is still there, the well-made…
How is OP's pov ruining your mood ? Please... Everyone is entitled to their opinions. You telling them they're wrong and negating their experience doesn't make you right.
Unfortunately, this is getting disappointing as the series shows more and more its shortcomings. The "plot" grows…
I agree. I didn't like this week episode. The whole gangster plot wasn't needed to make Qian understands his feelings, especially since next week is about his illness. The fear of dying could have been enough and make him want to experience love with Yuan. The gave us two tropes back to back. So dramatic...

8.5/10 for Chris & Kurt's phenomenal acting.
