if you’re not holding a grudge against Chanyoung and Jiyoo for being straight, you’ll notice that this was…
What grudge? Do you read the comments? You clearly don’t understand why fans are upset with this series and the couple Chanyeong/Jiyu. Go read the manwha- even just the first couple of episodes of the manwha, and you’ll understand. Or look at the trailer, which advertises this series as a BL with a BL couple, not this dual main lead with equal BL and straight (while giving more screen time for the past 6 episodes to the straight couple). In a drama advertised and classified as a BL, the straight couple should be the secondary couple and get less screen time. Period.
They have the straight couple as mains as well, which means they’ll share equal airtime (unfortunately). This series was advertised as a BL and is a BL in the manwha. Why they needed to add a straight couple and give them so much airtime is beyond me. I fast forward through Chanyeong and Jiyu solo scenes because I could care less about their boringly predictable plot line. I really want to know what kind of crazy conversation happened between the scriptwriters, producer, and director… Also, what kind of marketing surveys/analyses they did to decide this was the right direction to go.
As I fast forward through solo scenes with Juyi and Chanyeong… (I get that they’re also mains, but this was advertised as a BL, so that should have been the main and dominant storyline- that and Chanyeong is so unlikable and their storyline is SO boring- the few minutes I watched before I started skipping through their scenes).
But really, for someone who is supposed to be Heesu’s best friend, Chanyeong is unforgivably inconsiderate and oblivious to Heesu and doesn’t seem to be close to him at all. It’s a very shallow relationship, at least on Chanyeon’s part. He definitely takes Heesu and his loyalty to Chanyeong for granted. I feel like Jiyu is a better friend to him than Chanyeong- whose focus is on his own world. I really felt that didn’t care much about Heesu from the second episode. If they turn it around and have him sitting there being a sounding board for Heesu, I won’t believe this sudden character change.
Meanwhile, I understand Seungwon. It’s difficult to confess for someone with his “I” personality. He knows Heesu likes Chanyeong, which means he needs Heesu to break away a bit from Chanyeong in order to even see him as a potential love interest. It looks like the tides are turning though. We probably won’t get a confession until episode 8 or 9. Even with Jiyu setting him up every time (she’s actually a great best friend, unlike Chanyeong).
It’ll be interesting to see what happens next week with the dynamics between the 3 boys. And maybe Jiyu will become a confidant to Heesu? Who knows at this point. Definitely won’t be Chanyeong (not believably anyway).
An opinion that’s mixed, based on the comments and show rating. People should be considerate. It should be something I choose by clicking on someone’s covered spoiler comment, right? That’s what it’s for. ijs
I don’t care how the m/f couple progresses. The majority of the screen time should be the m/m couple. I found myself 10-second skipping past the m/f parts as it is, shortening an already short episode. 6 more episodes to go. Here’s to hoping Heesu and Seungwon get more. I would have preferred chicken over a guitar. Very clear this episode was about Jiyu and Chanyeong. 6-day wait, here we go…
Oh man. This was one of those amazingly good movies I’ll never watch again. 💔Both Gong Yoo and Park Bo Gum were amazing as always. I really wanted a different (unrealistic) ending because SeoBok is such a sad character. Bo Gum did amazingly well with this role.
OMG this series and S1 were SO good! I need a season 3. I hope we get it. The emotional roller coaster they put me through…I love everything about this and S1. Of course I don’t like how people go missing, but the message of hope and justice is what I mean. With how it ended, S3 seams highly likely. I hope we don’t stay on the edge of the cliff due to lack of funding or whatever.
Perhaps u wanna try Taxi driver.. it has the same vibe, and it has 2 seasons, already..or Bloodhounds.. enjoy…
Thank you for the suggestions! I just finished watching Missing:The Other Side and will be diving into its second season, but after that, Taxi Driver it is! Followed by Bloodhounds. 😊 I’m a binge watcher so I’m sure I’ll get these all or mostly done before Monday 😊 I want to tackle Mouse, but the episode count and run time is a lot.
Funny how you talk about the quality of My Golden Blood and gave high marks to Bed Friend, Ameiro Paradox and…
Thank you. I’m still watching Golden Blood so it isn’t that it’s bad, it’s just that it didn’t meet the expectations I had- so far. But we have many more episodes to go so there’s still time for it to deliver. Thanks for getting what I was saying. 😊

I watched Cutie Pie and Bed Friend a over a year ago I believe, so my scale was much different then. I’m more discerning with so many more series under my belt. Now, I think I’d give them 7 at the very MAX. Though I did enjoy Ameiro Paradox and rewatch quite frequently, so I’d leave it’s rating as is. I take series with the intention of the director when I rate. I ask: was I entertained? Did the actors make me believe their characters? How cringe was it? LITA Thai vs LITA Japan rate WAY different for me. Same storyline but WAY different delivery.
But to each their own. I don’t judge others for their rating because they’re OPINION-based. Crazy, right?
This adaptation really is doing Dakaichi justice. It has all the elements of the manga and Jin and Akin’s characters are spot on. I’m in love with this series. After E4, I’m hooked with no escape. It really was mischievous Jin all the way. The honey y’all. Who knew honey could be a main character?!
On a side: I really can’t help but think about how they felt filming that NC scene and REALLY want to see the BTS 🤭They’re giving BossNoeul/FortPeat in terms of “IDGAF let’s do this as real as possible” and the willingness to go next level really makes it more believable than scenes when the couples just roll around and neck kiss tbh. Like who just kisses necks when hormones are raging?! And who deep kisses with no tongue? It’s always been a thing for me, though I understand why directors don’t insist their actors do so- the intimacy has the potential to blur lines.
