The difference is that they didn't choose to end season 1 at an uncomfortable place in the series. We left on a high feeling satisfied, even if there were no follow-up season.

Exactly. There’s no way they can get together tonight. I feel a bit robbed and scammed, but… I wasn’t. It was a good adaptation and they stuck to the source material (minor unnecessary scenes aside). I’m just a bit miffed that we won’t see them together and are left with a big IF / Maybe around season 2. Wait… do you think today will end with the move to B? Surely not…

y9uve rewatched 5 times… before it’s finished airing?

Why...why would they possibly think to seperate this into 2? My only hope is that We Best Love was seperated into 2 parts and they both aired...but... the Chinese actor...I know, I know someone said it was a non-issue, but...
So what? Tomorrow is B and training? Or B, training and Qi Jiahao? Oh wait... we need the performance... we're not gonna make it to the jump are we? We haven't seen the parents in how long...
No-one who's mentioned a season 2 has said anything about filming nor contract negotiations.

First episode

Irrelevant. Most especially after the honesty agreement and regret over the five years confession.

Oh thank heavens. I thought I was just being overly critical. He ACTUALLY is a new actor… Why do they keep giving new actors lead roles?
I wish they’d make them side characters for a few projects.

He had so many chances. So many.

Adult love

He’s not as skilled. It was most noticeable in the first episode, but unbearable is pushing it. He’s good when he’s not leading the scene, but reacting. It seems he’ll do well with softer scenes.

They're just not paired together. Fans are remarkably toxic and demanding. Were they to stay paired, they'd only be able to do BL roles together. That's incredibly limiting. Now, they can do straight roles or other queer roles with a different partner.
Besides, Ohm had always been paired with a new partner for his projects in the past. New project, new partner- that's how it was. However, Bad Buddy was too successful and the fans and their expectations came with that success..

Novel? Is there an official translation? ….. *whispers* unofficial?

Your welcome? But…..like… the novel is still fresh in my mind, so…..

*fingers crossed*

I think… JT fell first and harder, whilst SW loves louder. We saw from the first JT’s perspective how he basically fell at first sight when he saw SW enter the school on that first day. We saw him instigate truth or dare so SW could make friends and then listen to the game and intentionally (?) walk by… but… SW has always been more open and expressive…
I’m disheartened they’ve split it into two seasons. CAN SW’s actor DO season 2? Will they recast? This is set in and airing in Taiwan, but… my dude is Chinese. We kinda want to see him in future projects and not get cancelled.

Are they hating on HER or that one seemingly scene? I think that was more of a ZhaoLin scene and further explanation that JiaHao is self victimising….. it was an odd scene, though.

The 9th episode was important and useful, though (except Jenny). It showed us Tian’s willingness to be played by Wang, verbalised JiaHao’s headspace, showed Tian’s animosity towards his dad (set up), solidified closeness of the boys’ group of friends… but most importantly, we sprained Wang’s ankle.

There’s really not enough time. Let’s say the do ZhaoLin tomorrow and maybe squeeze in birthday 1… That’s school festival and MAYBE birthday 2 in 11. Can that work? They’ve been doing events one at a time… I’m hoping they’ll do two at a time or there won’t be time. I need 12 to be AFTER.

It’s slice of life. The source material is mostly “filler” with big moments every three chapters or so.

Yeah….. as a friend/colleague. My parents or older sibling bringing it up to their friends and colleagues read differently.
Context is important. He didn’t say it to a random person for no reason.
