It's certainly not a drama for everyone. First of all, there's way less fanservice in comparison to modern BL dramas and you'll have to wait a long time before the relationship starts. However, SOTUS just carried something special to it and was one of the important series in Thai BL history. If you like the ''haters to lovers'' trope enough (and the gay confusion) then you'll be able to watch this since they stretch that out a lot more than usual. This means less fanservice but more emotional scenes where characters rethink their whole lives and make some decisions with a lot of emotional weight to them.

The name of the drama is a bit weird but ok. I haven't seen the trailer but I can just imagine some single catlady is living her best life and I fully support that. It's still a cat though.. Kinda unsure how any romance would work between them/if there is romance.

You certainly aren't alone in celebrating that fact.

Oldest son (Korean dude) is also my fav. I think he is a bit rough at first which I would normally dislike for a love interest but the way he suddenly gets shy sometimes really completed the picture for me. It also helpes that he goes into full ''hyung''-mode and takes care of this dude he barely knows while everyone else knows him as a cold person. He's already planning to make this dude his sworn brother which is basically the point in C-dramas/K-dramas where they illustrate that the love is incredibly strong between them but 1 of them doesn't want to start a real relationship (yet).

Well its either girl-phobia or mysophobia. Luckily there's always ONE girl in the world that is the exception. But yea it's just the unfortunate case that most rich dudes would never go for a common girl. So might as well give the guy some trauma to induce the potential of love thanks to mental illness.
You can only watch a few rich guys get easily cured from mental illness through the power of love before it gets old. Unfortunately, I'll still be the one watching it at the end of the day. Habits die hard.

Well there's lots of dramas with a rich dude who has either girl-phobia or mysophobia so that's difficult to find out. If the perceived similarity is about the seeing memories power then it might narrow things down.

Can't find the English sub but the movie itself still exists on the internet. Follow the link I posted.

I'll be writing this comment here for people interested in this BL movie. The movie is from China which (some backstory for newcomers) has a very bad reputation regarding the boy love genre (as in, censorship). This movie used to be available through lots of different media (facebook,dailymotion ect..) but has been systematically eliminated from most sites. So I definitely recommend any BL collectors to download this movie and keep it safe from erasure.

Most comments for this page confirm that it has been disappearing, all links posted are dead. I was unable to find an English sub/uncut version but through research I discovered a Brazilian translator that did a sub for this movie. So if you can kinda read Spanish/Portuegese/Chinese then it's sorta possible to watch it. Besides, the BL scenes don't need language to convey certain things. Still hoping someone makes an English sub and posts it somewhere else.

Now for what I thought about the movie myself. It's a fun ride, begins kinda weird but you get attached to it. I personally could never take the fight scenes seriously because of their faces but it gave me a good laugh. There's this one scene where a vampire turns his nail into a key and I'm still wondering what that was about. I kinda understood the general storyline despite the language barrier. The ending is fun but difficult to talk about without spoilers.

I wanted to watch this to find out the social views of that time in Hongkong but couldn't find it with subs. It's on Youtube but not with English subs so I gave up watching it.

Edit: Well, they removed it now.

I actually kinda like the mixture of Korean and Taiwanese spoken in this BL drama. I recognise some Chinese words and some Korean words so it was like a little game to recognise when a switch to another language was made. Anyway, episodes are pretty short but most couples are already pretty established (the younger brothers) so they don't need much screentime. Is it unrealistic that all of this fathers offspring are gay? A little bit but I've seen worse cases, most people don't watch BL for realism.

Yea I think we all know the reputation of Chinese BL. Taiwanese BL is a lot safer.

Has anyone been able to track this one down? It seems unavailable everywhere which makes me curious about the show and what it was exactly. There's 1 rating of 10/10, no discussion, no reviews and no recommendations. Just seems interesting to me, the only reason I found this was through an actors page.

Alright so I would recommend you watch this if you can stand the wellknown yaoi tropes and if you don't mind a comedy. It's a typical Japanese comedy with some BL scenes. The guys don't act like real people but are like the manga ''prince'' characters. Their relationship does actually develop though but the characters themselves don't.

Watched first episode and I honestly feel so empathic with Green, sure he is clingy but the MC honestly does creepier stuff than him. Oh well, its the beginning and perceptions can rapidly change. Love all the actors though!

Happy Birthday Mew!

I've honestly seen worse in some other Asian dramas. Ever seen the Thai drama Sung Tong (2018)? I think you'll agree with me on this one. I liked that it was some mythological tale but parts of the story wouldn't be done the same in other countries. I think there's a lot more dramas like that which just fly under the radar because no one outside of the Asian country itself is watching it.

I don't think the destruction of the second lead couple should make you give the whole show a low rating. I think it's sad too but I completely understand why it had to happen.
Reason 1:
The amount of chemistry.
The second leads were never meant to have much time dedicated to them in the first place and never would've hit the same chemistry as the first leads. Yes they learned to love each other but it was clearly not as magical of a lovestory as the main leads.

Seo Dan was not a woman that would've easily given into romance, while she did open up in the last episodes they would've had to give them much more time after the wounding in order to achieve a similar level of the first leads. What would be more memorable? A heartwrenching scene of loss and coping or the second leads meeting again while the main leads have the exact same plotpoint? Seeing the same thing happen twice will lessen the effect and make people take the lives of the characters less seriously.

Reason 2:
Realism. A lot of other characters survive and the drama still wants to be a serious one at times. So ending it with an important death is the perfect way of stating the seriousness of the situation for all characters and the risks they all took.

Reason 3:
The amount of storyteling needed to finish the drama.
Sure they could've ended it with the guy alive but then they would've had to explain how he would be able to live with Seo Dan in NK despite being in a dangerous position. That takes time and they had to show a LOT of other characters as well.

So basically, the second leads got unlucky because they couldn't get the same plotpoint as the main leads, the show needed to set a mood and they didn't get enough screentime to develop a unique happy ending for them.

I miss them already... Especially all the North Korean characters since their interactions were just so human and their curiosity was boundless.

I think they did want to add some realism into the drama since almost every other character escapes death multiple times. Besides, Seo Dan definitely picked up her life as an independent person while for example the character of Se Ri would never be able to do that. I was happy to see Seo Dan develop and her knowing that she was loved.

Everyone here is very enthusiastic for good reason but I also feel a bit sad. I will miss every character from this drama now that it's over.... Watching this series will make you overwhelmed with emotions. Crying, adoration, laughing, anger I think everyone has felt that while watching this. This isn't your regular kdrama love story. It communicates longing, distance and eternal love very well.
Thank you Se Ri, for descending into the lives of kdrama fans.

Also, I think Switzerland is definitely going to be a more popular destination for kdrama fans in the future.
