I'm thinking along the same lines. When I look at the situation through YXG's eyes, where the experience he had with XHT just before XHT's courtship campaign had been so bad, I can understand why he'd be suspicious of XHT's sudden ardor. I think it would help XHT's case a lot if he were to come up with a simple and sincere apology for making YXG miss his exam. The ending of this episode has me hopeful that the stage might now be set for such an apology.

I also agree it's probably XHT's first time having feelings about someone that are more than just recreational. (His surprised reaction to YXG making his heart beat faster -- was that due to the fact that it was YXG causing it, or was it because he'd never had that kind of reaction to anyone before, female or male?) And it says something about his self-confidence that he doesn't seem to pause to wonder if YXG is even capable of liking other boys, let alone him in particular. Perhaps his success with the girls has made him believe that nobody can resist his charms.

I loved little details like XHT doing the push-ups in the medical room before YXG showed up, to burn off nervous energy and bulk up his "alpha male" muscles. And it was cute how "Earring" twin referred to "Nice Guy" twin as his younger brother, and how "Nice Guy" twin is beginning his own tentative friendship with YXG.

When he takes off his shirt it's absolute male beauty at its finest. Damn.

This week my interest in the "second couple" went up a bit, probably because Sun Bo Xiang is showing a little more self control lol.

No but they purchased the broadcast or distribution rights and gave it an audience. We wouldn't get many more shows if the production companies couldn't get a return on their investment.

I think this one might be doing well since the actors recorded that "Thank you" video that was posted this week.

He certainly doesn't hold anything back, does he? Can't blame YuXiGu for being mind-boggled.

Everybody hates on Viki but it's thanks to them that we get series like this. I'm happy to reward them with my business.

I'm 10 episodes in and enjoying it the whole way. All these terrible reviews on here make me doubt my sanity, though. I like both male leads and at this point wouldn't mind if either one of them ends up with the girl (although I'm already certain which one eventually does.)

Great song soundtrack.

Your perspective is interesting. By Episode 10 I was pretty much done with Kang Doo's sulking and the way he treated Moon Soo. I also didn't like how she just kept coming back for more, like a character from a 1950's movie where the woman always stands by her man no matter what. I haven't gotten to the part where she just stands there after he kisses her, but given how cold he was to her for two or three episodes maybe she was just feeling a little bit skeptical.

I can't stand when a drama resorts to "I've decided I'm not good enough for you so I'm going to drive you away by treating you like shit." And it's no better when the other person just takes the abuse and keeps coming back for more, "in the name of love" of course. Everybody seems to worship the Kang Doo character but I think he's way too into his own melodrama to deserve Moon Soo, who (by the way) suffered in the same accident as he did, but in a different way. Get over yourself, buddy.

So there's a nice twin and an evil twin. The nice twin looks to be the conscience of that mob of misfits and clearly has sympathy for YXG. I'm curious to see if anything interesting comes of that. :)

... although as I've watched it a couple of times, in addition to feeling excited I felt some worry and sadness as well. There's a definite hint that the story might take a tragic turn.

Never knew about this video - thank you!

I agree that the notion that he's super attractive is played up too much in the first episode. When the script has so many characters referring to something like that, there should be little question on the part of the audience or it will backfire. Plus I don't think it's even necessary for him to be a gorgeous-looking guy for the story to work.

I think it's more than a third wheel situation - it's more like a romantic rivalry. The question for me is whether the rival is sincere or just trying to get on Pete's nerves.

I love Viki too.

When he dropped to his knees my heart went right to my throat and I had to catch my breath.

5-minute trailer? Please link me! :)

When I watch on Viki the episodes are 45 minutes each...

Haha - I had a feeling that Yu Xi Gu's new job would be at a gay club, and I figured that Xiang Hao Ting would somehow see him there. Looks like things really get rolling next week!

Two unforgettable scenes are when Golf realizes it's Bank's birthday (as well as the anniversary of Bank's father's death) and goes to find him, and when Golf completely loses it over Tom's interest in Bank, and Bank texts him, and Golf rushes to find him. Everything about these scenes - the setting, the acting, and the music - is perfect.

"Thank you for loving someone as awful as me." Oh how that line always moves me so much.
