It's like it was written by an 18-year old with no experience of actual trauma or bullying. It's infuriating. At least it's not as bad as some other BLs I've seen that tried to add trauma for the sake of "drama" and then mishandled it grossly. But yeah, trauma and the sense of betrayal doesn't go away that easily, trust isn't won back that effortlessly.
The drunk kiss was grating on me too. I was thinking "but what about Warm?" the whole time. I mean, Warm seems to be a bit of a d**k, but technically Ice is still seeing him (though I can't for the life of me fathom why)

This is very very very cute
Watarai: "Your hair is a mess, Hioki" *proceeds to move exactly two hairs two millimetres to the side* 😂

This is ... Uni BL done right

JJ always plays the same character in every BL 😂
The third-wheeling comic relief

I didn't watch Pitbabe, but I found Pavel a much better actor than Pooh in this.

He's not producing this one, he's just acting in it, so it's not up to him

Unfortunately it's common that different platforms will only have the airing license for some regions, because some other platform already bought the license for the other regions. Buying a license for the same regions as another platform would mean less viewers and less views. Only more obscure dramas would get licensed in all regions by Gaga, or really popular, hype dramas would be on multiple platforms in the same regions. It sucks when it's not the platform you have a paid subscription for in your region, though ;_;

The solution is of course to get a VPN...

But the censorship board don't go around checking film crews. They only censor films and dramas that are already filmed and edited and submitted to them for review. (And if you don't submit it for review, they can't ban it—you just can't air it in the Chinese mainland.)

It's not prohibited to be gay in China. It just can't be shown in dramas or movies

That's my main gripe with the plot: Why oh why does Ice go back to the same school? Are there no other schools in his city? If that were me I'd even move to another part of the country, start anew, far far from where I was violated and had my life destroyed.

It's a good thing we don't all like the same things, or there'd be very little variation. I hope you find something that gives you pleasure to watch!

I dropped STGD as well, but not because it was similar to P10L. It was because it was objectively terrible.

How was STGD similar to P10L except for having a college setting?
School themed BL has always been a staple for GMMTV, I agree that it gets very samey, but it definitely didn't start with P10L

I think he has always looked good, but not in the way he looks good now, if you see what I mean

It's really underrated

I think Jinn has been aware that he's gay all along (he seems to be fully out), but Jerome hasn't been aware of his own orientation, or he was just too set on bullying Jinn at that time that he immediately used it to put Jinn down. I can imagine him being bisexual but claiming to be straight just to set himself apart from Jinn and make it even more infuriating that he keeps stealing Jinn's crushes, even if to me it's super clear that he just has an intense dislike of the idea of seeing Jinn with someone else, for reasons that are currently still unclear to himself 😏

He looks like he had some work done, yeah. Seems to be a common thing these days

Agreed, this is very much a "best frenemies" thing with a super strong connection. If they really hated eo, why do they keep getting in each other's way at every single moment of their day 😂 They just can't stay away from each other but neither of them is currently aware of *why*

They're so good. I hope this is the series that makes them go big, because they deserve it.

Yay they gave Sea and Keen some fun roles! Even though they were rookies in Only Boo I could tell they had something special. That series was so underrated. Glad to see Sea play an extroverted tease of a character and doing it so well! And Keen is just so natural. Good start to the series.
