I see the noocheeatiing yammering choir has already started their usual tune. Sigh.

I think the different methods of coaching will be a substantial part of this drama. Look at the preview and what the track and running team coach says: "A relay race needs synchronization. Like our coach always says, the relationship is the most important".

It was a fantastic start. Good storytelling, promising and layered characters, neat performances and superb cinematography. I have expected something like this, the trailers were very good.

He was not sick 3 years ago, but he is now. He returned to say farewell to his parents and Mario.

Neither I have but I am quite sure not this way.

ITSAY was different, because Teh decided about his own scholarship. But here I am expected to believe that a teacher makes their decision about a third person's scholarship by what her friend told them. It is not a little bit tall.

Episode 10 was clearly the best so far. A rollercoaster of emotions, brilliantly acted by all the talents involved.

But... am I the only one thinking the revelation of the source of their feud is a bit slackly written and not too persuasive? I mean how is that possible to take a scholarship away like this? Her classmate and friend tells the teacher she does not want to go to university and the teacher just acts accordingly? Sorry but I cannot really buy this.

So whether this is going to end up as a fascinating poetic allegory or a hot mess - fat chance for either at this stage - one thing is sure, this series keeps using heavy symbolism, metaphors, ambiguous allusions, unusual twists, hidden meanings, cross references and deliberately baffling and complex narrative turns. So those who cannot live without linear storytelling and spoon-feeding scripts are better to drop it rather than repeatedly making "wtf was that" remarks and being pissed that a show apparently determined to be a confusing puzzle piece actually confuses and puzzles. And that is totally irrespective of quality.

A fair amount of BL fans - more precisely a fair amount of straight female BL fans - only like boys being cute and lovey-dovey to each other up to the point of kissing and suggesting some erotic love-making, but they are repulsed when being confronted with more queer-like presentation where guys actually fuck. Reasonably hypocritic.

I have come across his comments on several occasions and that is just what I expected from him. He is one of those typical BL viewers who cannot stand any character flaws.

Am I the only one who does not quite get what happened between Yeong Woo and Hwang Yi Bin in the past? Was the former who deceived/ hurt the latter? If so, why Yeong Woo was crying? Is that because he could not accept his sexual orientation back then? Because he apologized in the car. I am sure the ring must mean something important.

It is.

I have no time for deranged psychopats. Wipe your foaming mouth and consult your anger management therapist. Farewell.

Practice your reading and comprehension skills. The purpose of the review is not that, it is way too early. That is why we have the comment section, and after 1 or 2 episodes it is way more appropriate to write their negative or positive views here. I am not alone with this opinion, you could come across that under different shows as well. The person I mentioned is regularly doing that, even if their review is entirely positive and I find those equally distorting as I said above. ("I would say the same if was a more thoughtful and less superficial review or if it was an entirely positive one for exactly the same reason." ) As for why you suspect whatever you suspect about me I have no idea and honestly I couldn't care less.

I am in the UK as well. My GagaOOLala subscription costs me less than £7 a month. The price of two cappucinos in any regular cafés. How is that expensive? A moderate MacDonalds menu costs more.

Yes, there is something seriously wrong about early reviews and I pointed out why. I would say the same if was a more thoughtful and less superficial review or if it was an entirely positive one for exactly the same reason. I stand by what I said.

Seriously it is beyond ridiculous that mydramalist makes it possible to leave review after the first episodes. That BL Compilations someone has again made their usual numbingly superficial and cluelessly shallow review of the whole show after two episodes when 7 more are still coming, and we don't know shit about this series so far. And now this affects the rating and it is likely to drive people away. It is so infuriating.

It is a Japanese thing that even the closest friends or male couples call each other by surnames. Hira and Kiyoi are their surnames too. I don't know if you have noticed but that is how it is in almost every Japanese BL. Even if they have been living together as a couple for many years (Ai no Kotodama) they still call each other by surnames. Kinou Nani Tabeta?, Life: Senjou no Bokura and the Takumi-kun series are probably the only exceptions, and Junjou/Pure Heart where the couple switches to the other names by the end of the movie.

So far this is quite fascinating and intriguing. A bit artificial but compelling and with good characterizations as well as several graphic sex scenes.

Any news about the special episode in which they are dating?
