A little slow in parts, but overall it is a good series and worth watching until the end.

I wasn't sure I was going to like this Korean version but I was pleasantly surprised. it is not perfect and is a little different than the Thai version, but is enjoyable and actually good. Unlike the Thai version it is not using any big name BL stars to play any of the characters and I think it works in their favor. For many of the lead characters this is their 1st series and I feel they have a lot of potential and hope to see them in future series. There is some chemistry between the lead characters. This series is about half the length of the Thai version and I like how the Korean BL series cut out a lot of the B.S. drama that you find in series from Thailand.

Bad writing and directing.

After waiting 6 years for this series, I was greatly dissappointed. Fluke (Bank) is a very good actor, he is good at playing characters that tug at your heartstrings, but it felt like he and most of the other actors were just going through the motions. The series felt rushed and does not do justice to the original movie. Bank just decides to dump his Boyfriend, Arm who has been with him for 2 years. Why they felt they had to kill him off a month after Bank broke up with him, I can't imagine. To have Tar move away because.of his job, just as he and Nuea were getting close and starting to build a relationship was bad, but to have Tar totally ignore him is horrible Especually since he new about Nuea's problens at home. It is a shame that this was the best they could do after waiting 6 years to film it. They would have been better not making the sequel.

Second Couple

Whoever did the casting for this series and the Director deserves a large bonus. They did an amazing job. When tis series originally aired the Censors in Mainland China had it cancelled after only 4 of the 12 episodes aired. The streaming service GaGaOOLaLa pulled off a miracle and was allowed to buy the rights to broadcast all 12 episodes.
The 2nd couple of Tan Lin and Lau Lu are amazing. Tan Lin has a hearing problem and can not hear people speak. He communicates through sign language They met in a bar. Tan Lin was pouring drinks and lining up the empty bottles. Someone offered him a drink, but had emptied a bag of white powder into when he thought no one was watching. Lau Lu was sitting at a table drinking and saw it happening. He called to Tan Lin a few times, telling him not to drink it. When Tan Lin was getting ready to drink it Lau Lu rushed over and grabbed the drink. Lau Lu walked Lin home. So began their relationship.Lau Lu's kindness and gentleness with Tan Lin is what makes you fall in love with them.
The Main Couple are both studying art at the same school.

Weak storyline

I was greatly disappointed in this series. It seemed to me to be a cheap continuation of 2 Moons, with just slight changes to the names of some characters For example Wayo-Wayu; Pha-Pa; Ming-Mark. The same actors from 2 Moons are playing similar similar characters. I don't like is in Episode 1 Oa breaks up with Wayu, with no explanation, but you have to wait until the final episode to actually see the character. Everyone including Wayu's Brother, his best friend and everyone else. Not once does anyone bother to ask Wayu what he wants or work through his feelings about Pa.

Character Develolment

I really liked this series. I wish it was longer. The 2 male leads worked well together. i liked how the relationship between X and Q developed. Maybe because the series was only 4 episodes long, they avoided most of the usual tropes you find in BL series and the few they didn't avoid were very short lived. You can see and feel their relationship grow. It may have helped Q accept that he liked Boys because his Uncle Man is gay and he lived with Q and his Mom. I am just curious as to why Q's Mother was afraid or even thought Q might be Gay. Until he met X he did not seem to give any hint that he liked boys. He liked Toy and Frank, but only as friends, they hada normal friendship. I hope they make a Season 2.

Part 1 is ok, but Part 2 ruins it.

Part 1 was good and has good pitential. instead of having the main couple and just 1or 2 side couples, there was at least 4 side couples. By Part 2 there was still too much unresolved with all the characters. They took too long to build the relationship between Kaitoon and Valen, the main Couple. They also shoud have ended the relationship between King and Pete alot sooner and done more to build the King/Ink relationship. They could do a spinoff with them.
From what they say in the description about the series Valen was born on Valentines Day, but has never known love, even from his parents. He is working in his Sister Nisa's restaurant and she seems to care about and straighten out his life. The only time they mention Valen's Birthday is in the final episode, while Valen is having a temper tantrum. I think Kaitoon and Valen have the potential to be a good couple, but Valen needs to go for counseling because of his temper and jealousy. Valen has a tendency to get a little violent when he is angry. They needed to spend less time on flashbacks to previous episodes and more time concentrating on character development.

Needs more character development.

Seheon is the youngest son of a Music Professor and his older Brother is gifted when it comes to music. His Father is prejudiced about music. He feels that only Classical Music is worth playing. Seheon plate the Piano and he loves Jazz Music. His Father has him practicing playing Classical almost every waking hour. With the exception of School Work, eating and sleep. He transfers to a special High School, in his Sophomore year, after being home schooled. There he eventually meets Seyi, who also loves Jazz. Things between the two of them don't start off well. Seyi tells Seheon that if he ever finds Seheon playing the Piano in that room again he will kill him.
A little while later we meet Juha. He is 1-2 years ahead of Seheon and Seyi in School. He has an axe to grind with Seyi. After noticing Seyi seems to care about Seheon he decides he will get "friendly" with Seheon to get even with Seyi. As time goes on Seyi stops being antagonistic towards Seheon. Seheon starts to develop feelings for Seyi due to his kindness. One day after Seyi takes care of a cut on Seheon's hand, Seheon leans over and kisses Seyi. Seyi wipes off his mouth and walks out. After sometime and introspection Seyi comes to realize he does like Seheon.
Personally, while I feel this a good Drama and definitely worth watching, I feel it was too short and they need to spend some more time on character development. After Seheon returns home after running away from home, his Father is furious with him and starts a fight. You can see that his Father does love him and was worried about him but can't express it properly. I would like to have seen what made him that way. Seheon's older cares about him and tries to always act as a go between with Dad and Seheon. I would also like to have seen why his Father lets him practice Jazz and enter the Festival. I would also liked to it if they showed a little of Juha 's background and why originally a bully. I feel that they should have added about 2 more episodes. To flesh out the characters. It felt a little rushed towards the end. It is worth rewatching and hopefully they will make a season 2 to give us a little more backstory for the characters and maybe give us more time with the 2nd Couple, Doyoon and Juha.

This was the very first BL I watched. I.have watched it a few times since. It is set in a high school.The average age.of the characters is 15-16. Many people prefer the secondary couple.of Frame and Book to the main couple of Tee and Fuse. I was not happy that both couples started their relationships through rape. Tee is openly gay but Fuse is currently in a relationship.with a girl, but starts to develop feelings for Tee and.is confused by them. They go through the usual process of Fuse seeing both.of them and trying to figure out who he truly wants.to be with. His girlfriend is cheating on him. Book is gay,but is still somewhat in the closet. He is traumatized by his ex boyfriend.filming them having sex in what appears to be a stairwell and is frightened that he will release it on the internet. When the video does somehow get out Book tries to kill himself. They way Frame stands by him and supports him is what makes them alot of fans favorite couple.
