So what are you doing watching LGBTQ content?

I saw this movie 2-3 times and I didn't notice?...remember? that Lee Je Hoon was in the cast 🥲🤦🤦 😂
Now I want to see him in a well produced BL/LGBTQ movie or drama😅 Also Yeon Woo Jin is his partner!! So another movie/drama with them?
Just Kidding😂 I know it'll never happen. They're both popular.

Anyways I love their chemistry. The story was really cute. And the kisses...😳🫣

For me it was obvious they loved each other. Not much reading between the line needed.
Also for me BL don't need to have kisses or NC scenes to be a good BL.

I liked this series💕
The main couple had good chemistry and their love was cute. I've been a sucker for "friends to lover" lately more than "enemies to lovers". So I enjoyed it a lot. And I don't mind low budget work.

You mean a story about the LOVE between Ye Yuwei and He Cheng😌

I have a question for people who watched this drama: Is there any romance in this? If so, is it big or just hinted at? And between who?

Just asking because I don't want romance.

You're right.

I agree😔

Even the writing was problematic. I think a good writer could handle this better, even if it's a short series.

Started pretty good. Loved the dark theme, the supernatural and the mystery. Got me really intrigued. But then the writing became weak. The solved mystery wasn't so interesting. The supernatural part was solved too quickly. Plus there we got guitar and singing🫠

Overall a promising plot that would have been amazing with better writing. And no singing or guitar (Except if it's Jeff🤭).

A 7/10 for me.

When I talked about the harsh reality, it was mostly because of the rare BL that broach a subject without going any deeper. I just think it would create a better drama than the tired love triangle or cheating trope (especially in seasons 2. That don't exist for me).
The kind I'm thinking about is Love is beautiful (2010) with Kyungsoo/Taesub's families reactions.

In general I prefer when BL aren't focused on the coming out (what I hate in American gay stories). However I wish BL had more depth to them with heavy emotions and interesting dialogues.

For example if the characters feel hopeless, sad, angry, etc. I want to feel their emotions. Most of the time, I feel nothing while watching BL. It's worse when I see the potential for it, but the writers and directors didn't do their job.

It's the same for the dialogues. They're often meaningless and empty. Like a teenager writing for the first time. I don't know if you understand what kind of dialogues I'm talking about? I often see those kind in -non BL- Asian dramas.

This series' plot is too heavy for only 6 episodes/21 minutes. If it was only about Iwanaga-sensei trying to win over Myata-kun for the 6 episode then it would be an okay series. However, with the added family drama, it should be way longer (12-14 episodes) to allow for excellent plot development. And a more emotional story. That will make me feel every single emotion of the characters!

As it is, the series was lacking too many things. Especially the depth in dialogues and emotions. Also, I didn't feel any chemistry in the beginning, mostly because of Iwanaga-sensei's facial expression. It felt like he wasn't serious about his love. I preferred him in the last 2 episodes. When he became more serious. He gained charisma and attractiveness.

Shiraishi was my favorite character. I wish for a spin-off story for him. I loved his sassiness, even if it's against Myata-kun. His "you bitch🥰" was priceless🤣. I would have loved to see a confrontation him against Sugimoto.

Yes

In my case, I noticed that MDL's reviews aren't always accurate. I enjoyed (and even loved some) series with bad reviews + low rating while I disliked some series with good reviews + high rating.

That's why I often try not to read reviews or look at the rating before watching a series (Except to know if there is romance or not).

Before watching this series, you must be aware of 4 things:

1. it's a Chinese web series BL from 2020

2. which means low budget. Very low budget

3. don't watch expecting an amazing plot.

4. watch this if you want a BL story without any other criteria. And you want to laugh. Because this is so ridiculous that it's funny. At least the main have great chemistry.

Anyways you have to be in the mood to enjoy this series. I myself enjoyed it. The main reason is the nostalgia. The series feels like old BL from earlier 2010. I felt like I was in 2015, discovering BL series. As well as the main couple chemistry.

P.S: Jiang Zhi Hao reminds me of Farm from Together with me.

Where did you watch it?

Ikr. I liked that episode until that ending. It would have been better if Chalee either left the relationship or accepted the polyamory and also fell for the other guy.

I'm still traumatized by what happened to the side couple at the end. So gruesome!! It has been 1 year.

Agree. It's even better than some BL with high budget.

I agree. The series would have been so much better if they did that. Unfortunately I feel like producers are afraid of writing other than a cute romance in BL. They can't write about the reality of gay people in this society. Or any heavy topic. And not just homophobia, but any heavy or intelligent topic that would make the viewers think and show them a harsh reality.

Sometimes it's good to show cute romance because love between 2 men is just love and it's normal. However sometimes they should make BL about the harsh reality of gay people in a homophobic society + non- supportive parents. Both themes are important.

Also they should make more BL not focused on romance. So there would be more variety in the topics covered.
