Didn't expect people to like this. That kind of plot is normally not popular. Glad to see their efforts are appreciated, though.

What's the trauma even about? I don't really recall it.

Are we now supposed to root for an abusive relationship? I will watch this to the bitter end just to see how the writers try to fix this mess.

I really don't know what to think about this anymore. Sometimes people hurt others without being aware of it. But since Ji Woo experienced a similar devastating break-up, how could he do the same to Seo Joon? He knew exactly how much it will hurt him. That's honestly terrible. There is no excuse for it.

I don't know how Ji Woo can redeem himself at this point. He most likely will. But I have the feeling it will only happen in the very last episode. That's just lazy writing.

Okay, I rewatched the talk with the ex-girlfriend. This was really the last nail in the coffin.

Oh, if Ep 1 is too depressing for you, then better stop now. Ep 1 and 2 were rather slow, confusing and depressing with all the flashbacks. Ep 3 and Ep 4 were more enjoyable, but now we are back to the suffering.

I'm pretty sure they will save it at the end. I just don't know if it's worth to suffer so much until that happens.

Ji Woo was similar annoying in season 1, but he was also very cute. He had undenieable charms. Can't see that in season 2. It's not good if as a viewer you ask yourself why someone would fall in love with that guy.

Same.
The writers got it wrong. They developed a nice and round story (so it seems at least) with many different and new character who fit smoothly into the whole picture, but then they forget to make one of the main leads appealing. Ji Woo was also difficult in season 1, but he was a bit more expressive and pretty cute. In season 2 he looks like he is dead inside.

I'm very understanding when it comes to characters who hurt others because they have a problem with themselves. Sometimes you just can't get over your own issues. That doesn't mean you're a bad person. But here they are going a tiny bit too far. Ji Woo was the same dramaqueen in the first series, but it's really hard to watch this time, because everything gets dragged out more since the season is longer. Not sure how they can save it at this point. Nothing was resolved. The girlfriend-plot obviously was introduced for a purpose, but everything is just getting worse because of it. Even if Ji Woo finally opens up, I think it's too late. To make the viewer suffer for so long, it's just not a good decision storytelling-wise. People will get tired of it.

Yin improved so much. What happened? I think his acting is better than War's, and we all know War can act. I'm honestly baffled. Didn't expect the series to turn out like this: such great cinematography, nice acting, nothing cringy, good music, no stupid sound effects, complex plot, and then even 18+?

Didn't expect that quality.

No offense, but how people misinterpret the whole child-disappears-plot is mind boggling. A CHILD WENT MISSING. Not an adult. I don't have children my own, but I had to care for my nieces and nephews. Imagine my niece went missing! That's not the same an adult went missing. This just showed how Seo Joon cared, and what sincere person he was. I could feel the desperation. You will never overcome it in your entire lifetime if a child can't be found anymore, because YOU didn't pay attention. Somone could have got her, raped her, killed her. There are enough psycho pedophiles out there. Sure, he was desperate when Ji Woo went missing too, but that's something completely different.

It seems the filming locations are the same. Beyond Evil is a different genre, but with a strong bromance. The atmosphere created by those ordinary people in that small town is similar.

Why do you know the previous episodes (1-4?) were 12+? It says here on MDL 15+ for the whole series. Same with s1.
@Aroma66: 15+ just means a kiss like we saw it in Ep 4 I think.

That must be the worst first episode of any BL I have ever watched in my life. Nothing happend.

People were excited, because the love scenes were pretty nice. I never managed to watch Ep 0 without skipping parts, but for some stupid reason I thought the series would be better. The actors have charisma and good chemistry. I thought they would use that well and give us a decent story. But nope.

In WYEL they didn't dare to kiss so much. It was the first Korean BL back then. They were just testing out the waters. People tend to forget that. We are still at the beginning of discovering the potential of Korean BL.

People are so harsh on this series! Since it's Korea, I don't expect them to talk so explicitly about sexuality. The first season was one of the first Korean BL after Where Your Eyes Linger and Mr. Heart.

I thought it was pretty clear that Seo Joon was gay. Ji Woo seems to be pansexual.

But who cares at this point? At least not everyone and their dog is gay like in so many Thai BL series like My Secret Love where everyone from friend group 1 is falling in love with a guy from friend group 2.
