I think too many people mistake chemistry with sexual tension. Imo there are different types of chemistry (sexual chemistry, cute & warm chemistry, emotional chemistry...). Not every couple need to have sexual chemistry like KinnPorsche.

I think he started being uncomfortable after he took care of TeaJoon. He didn't care about the bs his boss was telling him.

Fr it's so distracting! There's no need to whiten these guys this much. This is something I really dislike in chinese and korean dramas.

Oh, I agree with you. I'm not a fan of candy girl, I often drop series because of this trope. But as I said I believe the directing is also at fault. I think he's not a bad actor (he's not overdoing it, he just lacks sincerity in some situations) so I'm guessing it's how they told him to play the character. Cause I've noticed he's more real during soft scenes with his co-star: he conveys his interest, shyness and confusion correctly. And then it's back to faking cause the character doesn't give him room to do more (the "little, faux-energetic skip, baby-step running thing" you mentioned).
Anyway, I've not seen his other works, so maybe I'm totally wrong about this.

I'm not seeing what's wrong with GongChan's acting. Imo the issue lies with the character and the directing. Won Young is a candy girl : wide eyes, naive, cheerful, hardworking... We've seen this character in every kdrama since forever, and it's always been acted this way (no nuance) so I don't see why it's now a problem when a guy is doing it. I'm not saying GongChan is great, but he's doing good, he emotes correctly and he's not stiff so it works for me.

On another note, DongHee was so pretty in ep4!

Thanks for the info.

Exactly. And it was also foreshadowing that Ian couldn't answer Eddy's question.

Please, BL God, don't let them fck this up. This series is so perfect right now!! It gives me so many feels I'm almost crying.

Edit: question for those speaking korean, on their date, did KT really say "him" when talking about his past lover or did they take liberties with the translation?

I think it's the guy with whom he interviewed before for a camp abroad. He might have a free spot for Ian, which means Ian would have to leave SK.

"Little HJY has so many little body-language and facial quirks that I find beyond adorable. "
Yes! He's adorable, a good actor. I hope we'll see him soon in another series.

Yes, and so?

I'm a sucker for the enemies-to-lovers trope but I don't like this series. Cause what is likeable about TaeHyun? Using the infamous tropes "he's a bully cause he's got trauma" and "poor soul, I understand him, I can love him now" doesn't excuse TaeHyun's behavior. And it shouldn't be a reason for the boys to be friends and lovers.

Yeah, just a bit better. That's what bothering me: he is into it but he's barely moving his lips. Suzuki is doing all the work here.
First NC scene I thought ok, it's their first time, he's shy. But in ep5 they've been together for a while so what is it?
Well, I guess there are people like that in real life, so I shouldn't judge.

Last 2 episodes are not subtitled. Do you know why?

I love this series, but I've one complaint: why isn't Honda moving his lips?! I ignored it the first time but come on. They have chemistry, you can feel desire but he's removing the realism of the scene by not participating in the kiss.

Yeah the premise doesn't make sense, and the way WonYoung approched TaeJoon was stupid (harassing him for a part-time job). I was ready to drop it but somehow episode 2 was better and reeled me in. I like TaeJoon and the MCs interaction, and the secondary couple is interesting.

I love it! I stan a straightforward ML. No time to waste playing games. I appreciate they didn't drag the misunderstanding. Also, the chemistry is great! The ending scenes are everything.

I'm already liking this too much! TaeJoon is giving Daddy vibes and I love it! Mature looking MLs are rare in BLs, even more so in kbls. The MCs have good chemistry and the second leads' story seems interesting too.
As a pottery student, I really appreciate that we got a potter ML instead of the usual business/doctor/engineer man.

He's a mix of Chimon and Mew Suppasit

I really like it! The MCs have chemistry and act well together. Plus, Kim Jun Hyung is so very cute! He really can sell the shy and flirty act.
