For real! That series was such a disappointment. It sucks because the two had such amazing chemistry. I loved every minute of their brief time together on screen- especially as Heesu came to realize his feelings. That whole production did us fans of the series so dirty.

Not really a spoiler, but since I mention the webtoon. I thought I’d play it safe. 😉

I wish this was 10 episodes. While I adore what we have, it feels super rushed compared to the webtoon (which is still ongoing on Lezhin Comics). I wish Korea was in a place to really support longer and more episodes for BLs. To My Star 1&2 had so much character and story development. I even enjoyed the hell out of Love for Love’s Sake (I’ve watched both series countless times…seriously). There’s too much to flesh out for 1 hour. Why Jiwoon is so shy and cautious. The extremely slow burn of their relationship. The hella cute awkward moments. Even how he was injured doing the favor for his senior- that part needed more to show why there was so much concern from Jungwoo. I absolutely love that Ki Hyun Woo from Jun & Jun makes an appearance here. 🥰

However, the actors and the director have given us a good series so I know they’ll make something happen. Ep 7 will make us sad, but Ep 8 will likely end well. It’s supposed to be that kind of story: love is love and full acceptance by society (unfortunately unrealistic but it’s a drama so who cares).

That being said, next week needs to hurry up! Regardless of my concerns, I’ll likely rewatch this series many times. It’ll be nice to be able to binge watch it. 😊I do love KBLs, even if they can be frustratingly short. KBLs and JBLs have my heart (except for Heesu in Class 2- which is not really a BL, but a baiting tactic to rope in unsuspecting BL fans and have us watch a straight couple get together- I know y’all share my frustrations with that piece of what-the -fuckery that was. I felt so swindled- the whole production did us dirty).

Yes! Love him sm😍

What a train wreck that was. And the ending? WTF was that? Seriously. It’s like the production team and everyone involved gave up on the series. I don’t blame them though.

They could have done so much more with this movie, but they fell short, especially at the end.

I love this show so much! I wish I could see next week’s episodes already. I need an episode a day!

Perhaps. I can only speak for the US.

GagaOOLala says S2 is airing June 19th. Sadness.

I’m back for my rewatch…again. I love this drama and JiHoon’s acting is top tier. His ability to convey so many emotions without speaking is a natural talent that should have scripts pouring in like a flood. I hope to see him in SO many more dramas. He gifted us with WHC2 recently, but I’m greedy and need MORE of this man’s gift. Of course he can’t do it alone…the cast for this series was good, as well. I really love the growing friendship Joon has with Soo Hyun. I love how they wrote and handled the sensitive topic of DV, poverty, and parent abandonment. I’ll be back soon!

It’s a wrap but what do we do? The release schedule says an episode every day M-F, so it’s OnLy a 6 mOnTh CoMmItMeNt😵‍💫 😉

I’ve read the novel. ☺️The English translation is a bit…difficult to understand. But I agree; it was helpful- the parts I understood, that is 😉

ONG I was ready until I saw that. 120 35min episodes?! I usually stay away from the dramas because they’re usually 40 30 min episodes and I avild dramas over 16 episodes usually. 120 may be too much. But I am drawn to the synopsis! 😭😭😭

I think as the older one, by more than a few years, Sorn should know that Juin doesn’t have the experience to handle the type of relationship Sorn is willing to give atp. It was Sorn’s own greed that made him suggest it, using that inexperience against Juin. He wants Juin but is afraid committed just in case bring with someone younger bites him in the ass again. I think he cares too much for Juin that he’s genuinely afraid that if it doesn’t work out-especially because of a betrayal, he won’t recover from it. At the same time, I think he’s expecting it to fail, and badly, for him. Sorn has been drawn to Juin for years but denies his feelings because he’s younger and younger equals potentially serious consequences for Sorn.

People brushed this series off as soft porn because of the Nc scenes (I mean…they are heated so I get it), but it’s really more about two sexually healthy young men pursuing a physical relationship while navigating complex issues. Sorn and his commitment issues and fears, and Juin figuring out who he is and what he wants in a romantic relationship while finding his balance between dependence and independence. They’ve both fallen for each other, which makes a FwB relationship more hurtful as they try to hide or bury those growing feelings, hurting each other in the process. I get Sorn’s actions- I don’t agree with them, but I get them. Juin is too young to get what Sorn is going through. Poor baby. But P’Tia is there to protect him- late but that’s better than never.

I’m curious about the deal Sorn and Penny had though. Because it’s gotta be something where a fake relationship benefits them- mostly Sorn. Probably to keep Mali away. (The audacity of that little viper greeting Sorn all cheerfully after what she did to him is craziness.)

Also, I’m lowkey glad that Thanu isn’t into guys. I can’t take more love shapes. The issues between Sorn and Juin by themselves is quite enough.

Episode 9 is coming… 10 will be them apart, 11 them overcoming their issues, and 12 them together. Typical formula (if they follow it).

I think as the older one, by more than a few years, he should know that Juin doesn’t have the experience to handle such a relationship to begin with. It was Sorn’s own greed that made him suggest it, using that inexperience against him. He wants Juin but is afraid committed just in case bring with someone younger bites him in the ass again. I think he cares too much for Juin that he’s genuinely afraid that if it doesn’t work out-especially because of a betrayal, he won’t recover from it.

OMG ME TOO!!!

There are a couple but they’re support roles and only appear for a bit. But yeah, men killing each other, headed by one John Wick style badass.

That was fucking crazy and I loved every minute of it. Very Korean John Wick. I did have to skip some of the splurting scenes because…yeah. Othwewise, the ending couldn’t have been different. I really do love Korean revenge dramas.

Not free. I read it on Lezhin. It’s ongoing.

Episode 1 did not come to play but to SERVE! I’m hooked.

I’ve rewatched this SO many times. It’s my comfort drama.
