I also found, Give a Reward When It Can Do ‘Wait.’ It's a sweet comedy and Gennosuke's personality is completely different, as he portrays a bit of a goofball.

I was able to locate Gennosuke's vertical series, Dangerously Sweet, in a stitched together format. I enjoyed that one a lot.

Based on what's listed on this site, you have their ages incorrect. Folk just turned 30 (born on August 4th) and Jame Jame is 22.

As the series progressed, I grew to appreciate Joong's acting and his character, Joke, very much. The very opposite can be said about Dunk's acting, which remained thoroughly mediocre (did he even understand what his character's emotional motivations were supposed to be?). And do I need to even bother to mention his character Zo? I really grew to dislike that dude, who proved to be as wishy-washy as a dishrag.

Since the beginning, I held that thought in, because I wanted to give the series more time to unfold; but, after 6 episodes, the story simply grew more stilted and artificial. Moments within scenes are disjointed, what are supposed to be emotional moments are spoken out loud instead of acted and filmed believably, and NC scenes are transitioned into with the same subtlety as an 80s p*rno film. It's all weird.

OK. Was this series written by AI? It's so lazily constructed, and it's as though the concept of "show, don't tell," has never been learned by any member of the cast and crew.

The fact that this series has retained an 8.0 rating is laughable. There has to be some score fixing happening, because this series isn't even deserving of a 6.0, in my opinion.

OK. Let's go with "analysis".

Your analysis reveals specific details of the plot as the series has unfolded. If someone were watching the first few episodes and encountered your comment, whether you intended to do so or not, you would have spoiled many of the moments that occur in later episodes.

Maybe.

Also, can you place your comment under a spoiler tag?

You're providing details about the characters that aren't shown in the series, which makes them irrelevant in this context.

Also, can you please tag your comment as SPOILER.

The plan was always to shift to only 1 episode per week, staring at episode 9. Now, there will only be 1 episode released per week, on Friday, through the conclusion of the series.

Ditto! 💃

OK. Enough joking and word playing, I chose to be an a$$hat , in text, for myriad reasons. Did I have to do that? No.

Have a good day.

Are you right about this? Maybe. 😄

You and I tangoed. Thanks for the dance, internet stranger.

Is your tone not snarky? Maybe. Should I take your words at face value? Maybe.

Am I a snark monster in all instances? Hmmm... you'll never know for sure. Should I defend myself from the accusation? Nah.

I am curious, though, that you didn't take any issue with the other party's responses to me. I entered into a good faith dialogue, yet the first arrow was directed at me. Is, "The joke went right over your head, stranger," meant to be nice? I merely lobbed it back, but the person you take umbrage with is me. Why is that? Has that level of impolite online discourse become so commonplace that it's merely background noise?

Hmmm... I was mildly annoyed that @Poolpik didn't decide to write something to the effect of, "Hey, internet stranger, I was being facetious. Of course I know that the series isn't complete." Which, of course, would have ended the bandying then and there. Since they didn't do that, and instead continued their antics, I decided to have a little snarky fun of my own.

As for you, my thanks for joining this ever redundant discourse. Maybe you can reply to me, and then @Poolpik can pop back in and reply to you replying to me, and we can all enjoy a round or two of annoying each other with snark and diving ever deeper into each other's navel lint. Or, stay with me here, maybe we can all just decide to leave each other alone and go about our own business, as I am sure we all have something better to do with our precious time.

Are we going to suffer through a game of snark ping-pong? I wait, with bated breath, to see what you decide on doing.

Brilliant comment!! Thank you for wading into BL dramas with an open, yet discerning mind.

KinnPorsche was also my first real BL, after mostly being fascinated by South Korean and Chinese dramas. I enjoy a lot of Thai BLs for what they are, but most of the time, I find them lacking for the same reasons you listed. Along with some of the Chinese BLs that have been dropping like hot cakes since mid-2025, my preferences are South Korean BLs, Taiwanese, and Japanese. My recommendations are below.

CHINA
• Addicted (2016)
This had a truncated season, as it's the primary cause for China placing the extreme ban on BL releases within mainland China. It was such a good series that its popularity ended up causing a huge stir in the country, and the main leads were banned from appearing together publicly by Chinese authorities. The series' acting, writing, and directing are top-notch.

• To My Shore (2025)
One of the main leads is a red/black/nuclear flag level character; so, prepare yourself. The Hua Yong character from ABO Desire can only dream of being this level of obsessed and controlling.

• Bittersweet Love (2026, currently airing)
Prepare yourself to likely want to pull your hair out while watching this one. There's a sub-dominant dynamic between the main leads and, if you're not tempted to want to reach through the screen and slap the majority of the characters, you're a better person than I am. Still, it's well written, directed and acted, and despite how agitated I feel while watching it, I really want to know how the story resolves itself.

• Double Helix (2026)
Full warning: This one goes very dark before the light breaks through.

SINGAPORE (Really, this is a Chinese drama)
• Kill to Love (2025)
Historical BL. Well done, all around.

Episode 10:
You know things are serious when someone snatches off their own wig! Drama!!! 😂

Oh, you were joking? Is that what you were attempting to do? Oh dear, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but you're not very good at it. Keep trying, though, as every great or even passable comedian started somewhere. Keep fighting!!

What show are you watching, internet stranger? At this time, only 6 episodes have aired of what's an 11 episode series. There are 5 episodes that have yet to air.

You consider disregard as "hateful rage"? A bit high-strung, are you?

I reiterate, I am grateful that you and I never have cause to meet in reality. Even more so, now.
