No problem! If there's another part of the BTS which you really want a translation for, just tell me! 🤗

Omg the cheek tapping thanks for pointing that out, soo cuute 🥹❤️

Hahaha and yes, Myeongcheol suddenly became an English teacher while not knowing better himself either (actually in their shorttime English speaking clip, Hyeonseo sounded a bit more confident in his English but who knows)🤣
But to be fair, here it's not really about English but about Korean romanization. There are different systems and especially when it comes to names, it's all over the place. Like here on MDL their names are Haejun and Jaehun, but it could also be romanized as Haejoon/Jaehoon 😵‍💫
But the funniest thing is that he tried to get back into his dominant character after that and kept asking what he should do with Haejun who made a spelling mistake🤣 You cannot fool us Myeongcheol, you're too whipped for him to do anything to him 🤭

My pleasure, glad that you found those suit pics of our precious 🐶!❤️

I put the on-screen captions in those brackets -> [ ] , even if its dialogue but they played music over it
The star* and (*..) is just my remarks. Sorry but I couldnt help myself to comment once or twice 😂

SUB BTS EP. 8

[Day on set]
0:08 [Haejun having fun playing with the seagull]
0:16 [discovers camera] Myeongcheol: Look at the camera
0:31 [Pls send us all the selfies]

[Haejun’s Self-introduction in Japanese]
0:45 Myeoncheol: Aren’t you Kim Haejun?
0:46 Hyeonseo: Ah Kim Haejun.
(In Japanese) I’m Kim Haejun, nice to meet you.

[Game of Remembering Names]
0:53 MC: Should we go for a walk?
0:55 HS (in high pitched voice): I like walks. I’m busy~*
(*not sure, the subtitle says "busy". But it doesn’t sound like that to me. It sounds like he’s suddenly saying f* you in English hahaha is it just me??😂 and why the high pitched voice? I thought Myeongcheol asked about the walk bcs Hyeonseo will be acting like a dog in that scene😂 )
1:02 [MC: Try writing in English too.]
1:10 [HS: Is this right? But that’s not hoon it’s heung. It should be written like this.]
1:18 HS: But that’s hyeon. Han Jehun…
1:24 MC: He wrote my name in English with a G instead of a J, what should I do?
1:27 HS: How do I write hoon?
1:28 MC: H-O-N *
(*uhm.. Myeongcheol that’s still wrong, but bless your heart 😂)
MC: I’m looking for someone to teach him English.
1:35 HS: Han Jaehun. What’s my name again?
[MC evading (the question)]
1:44 HS: Seems like he forgot. That’s why he is acting like that. A 100% sure.
Ah, it’s the character of course.
1:49 MC: He got my name wrong, what should I do? I’ll show you today!
1:53 MC: Turn of the camera [(threat)]
1:57 HS: See you later.

Hahaha I'm making a list of questions, I rlly wanna ask Hyeonseo to release the selfies 🤳during the live (if I dare to ask sth at all😅😂). Pls our puppy don't keep them for yourself 🥺
Oh no subs again? Auto-subs/trans is working for me, but it seems to be really off this time. Wait I'll translate the BTS with time-stamps and put it in the next reply down below! 🤗

Omg thanks for the link to the shorttime clip! Their English is so freaking cute and Hyeonseo's "I Love You" had me squealing 🫠❤️
And yeah.. Myeongcheol's hairstyle... *sigh* Idk I guess I'm used to it already bcs I looked through all his insta and this other site* he linked in his bio, and he never looks as good as with his TOL hair (finally something praiseworthy in TOL, stylist you're doing a great job 🔥)
*That's the links to the website (I guess its some sort of paid chatting service, where he also shares pics which are somehow better than the ones on insta? 😂 ) :
https://jungmyeongcheol.chattie.us/channels/L2NoYW5uZWxzLzIwNDg0/A00001/posts

And I noticed by chance... if you scroll down, you'll find a post from 4 months ago, where posted a picture of him taking photos of orange flowers on the side of a street. Hyeonseo has a picture of the same flowers on his insta feed on August 8th. I guess they were still working on Sweetheart Service together back then. They even had a mini fanmeeting (look at Hyeonseo's insta post July 26th. He looks so frking good in that suit 🔥 Our puppy is growing up 🐶🫠).
Okay, I'll stop before I sound too stalkerish 😅 I really just noticed by chance 😂😂

AHH DID U SEE? THE BTS FINALLY DROPPED!! (the title is wrong it says ep 7 but whatever🤦‍♀️)
Haha this times it's reversed Myeongcheol askes Hyeonseo to look at the camera and of course he does with the cutest expression ever 😝✌️ Can we plsss get all the selfies they took? 🥹🙏🏻 Aand did you catch Myeongcheol's hand resting on Hyeonseo's shoulder while he's writing his name ?? 🤭

" (waiting for 10 minutes disaster every freaking week is no joke 😅 just to see my babies 🫠) " HAHAHAHA this made me LOL bcs it's so true. Same, the BTS helped me to continue the drama and not turn crazy while watching this mess. Also, 2nd biggest reason is you, honestly if not for you, I'd have noone to talk about the BTS and it would be a kinda sad experience overall🥹

Hahahaha honestly, I just suggested that you ask that during the live because I'm way to introverted too. But maybe I can muster up my courage if write the question down in advance 🤣

The prequel to this series called "First Page" is airing right now. It shows how they met. I don't think it has a MDL page yet, so here's the link for anyone interested:

"But alas, here we are left with a premise, the delivery and the acting. And those are great."
Thank you for saying that! 🥹 I'm so happy that more people are defending the actors now. At first, there were only comments bashing everything. I mean I get it they're disappointed that we were given such a great premise and were left hanging when it comes to the execution. And I make fun of the production and directing, too, bcs those makes some scenes really hard to watch tbh, but I'd never bash the acting! They're really trying their best to save this drama!

OMG they're exchanging clothing now?? 🫠You should ask that question during the live, whether it's the same shirt (though we already know a 100% that it is. Just want to tease them🤣🤣🤣), you'll definitely get the award for the most attentive viewer 🏆👏
I bet it's not scripted (what script?🤣), but who knows, maybe the one responsible for the styling is the only one using their brain 🤷‍♀️ I mean makes sense. Especially, noticing that Haejun only wore tshirt and training jacket/pullover in the beginning and then in ep3 starts wearing the same white shirt Jaehun still wore earlier in the same ep. So, right after they enlongated the contract(!) he got clothes from Jaehun and started wearing dress shirts and the more expensive looking pullover, as well. (Not me skipping through all eps again to see what Haejun wears and you're right he is basically living in that white shirt...but I don't blame him, who wouldn't if it's from Jaehun 🤲🤣) I should definitely become more attentive like you 🧐👏

Just rewatching ep1 made realize I had totally forgotten how much tension there was. Ep1 started out so strong, even the sound and everything was still coherent...wtf happened afterward?🥲 When everything's finished I'll rewatch in one go from start to finish (maybe turn of the annoying music here and there) just to enjoy the scenes of our babies once more 😍

Btw did you notice in the 2nd part of 4 ep BTS, at 1:39 the way Myeongcheol looked at Hyeonseo like he's gonna eat him, while biting his lip? (They just cut that part in the drama of course 🤦‍♀️)
But that's not actually my point, what I wanted to say is that the part that follows when they come out of character afterwards is one of my favorite in the BTS 🤭 How Myeoncheol smirks and then laughs at 1:44 and the way they both laugh at 2:00 and Hyeonseo covering his mouth after the kiss. I just love it when they get all shy 🤭❤️

Oh yeah I noticed that too. Normally the auto-subs and auto-translation works for me but strangely, not for that BTS and if there is nothing said but only on-screen text it doesn't help anyway🫤 If you want anything translated let me know, I can definitely try to translate some of the BTS, they're not that long anyway 🤗

Hahahhaha OMG I just rewatch that scene at 10:25 like 5 times and only catched that pout on the third time or sth 🤣 How did you even see that, it's really just a millisecond and hard to see next to that wiggling blanket and in that angle😳 But I must admit I might have been a bit too distracted by Jaehun's wide smile and the dangly perl on his chain necklace (which I really love on him and i don't even know why)😍🤣
But now that I saw that pout, let me rewatch a few times more. Ur so right, it's definitely Hyeonseo himself, our cutest 🐶! He looks exactly like in the ep 3 BTS 😚..ahh my heart 🫠 (now i'm even more convinced that he was actually asking for a kiss. Seems like their usual rhythm - Hyeonseo pouts, Jaehun fights the pouting with a kiss 😘🤭)
Give us the BTS of the last ep already 🥲

Ohh I can imagine that you love your Bonsai, they always look so cute 😍
Unfortunately, I dont have that much space for plants and neither much light in my appartment. But I'm happy about my one Christmas cactus and my many UFO-plants (not sure if they're called the same in English). They striving so well that they make so many babies, my windows sill is overflowing 😅😂

What a funny coincidence that you reocmmended the Marino Ball, bcs even before I finished reading your sentence I knew you mean those from that drama bcs I only watched that like 2 months ago 🤣 and actually I was really close to getting those bcs it would be the perfect plant for me. You know, I'm rather the over-carer, in the sense of overwatering everything 🤣 I only meant well but I've killed plants before 🫢😅

Ohh sounds like the perfect start of a drama plot, talking to your local plant guy about plants from a drama where the plants are absolutely not related to the absent plot 🤣🤣🤣
🗣️ Drama script writers write that down!!
(Not me shipping you with your local plant guy (ok, I am but pssh🤫))

Hahah we going crazy, but at least together 💃💃 Tbh I'm kinda scared of the live... if I maanage to watch it live, I'll be a giggling mess 🤣

OMG thanks for reminding me!! I completely forgot that cuddling scene. Or now that I just rewatched it, I guess I erased that from my mind because they absolutely ruined it with the sound of the kissing of the night before continuing . I couldn't focus on them at all🤦‍♀️
Now when I rewatched it, I just turned the sound off and it was actually soo cute? 🤭Ahh the way they smile and I never noticed that they already interlaced fingers here like in the ep7 BTS??? 🫠💓
Btw.. idk if its the lighting or something but they both look so damn handsome in that scene 😍
You're right. Why didn't they include the BTS... 😭😭 But I guess the BTS were already too long bcs they included that "interview"/monologue by Myeongcheol which was fun too.. but I'd still prefer the BTS of them cuddling 😔
But did you see that in the 2nd part of the ep 3 BTS at 1:38? The part where the written remarks added on-screen made it seem like Hyeonseo nudged Myeongcheol to look at the camera with his eyes and then sulked bcs Myeoncheol just refused by shaking his head?
But I'm not sure that's whats happening bcs Hyeonseo actually saw a second before that Myeongcheol was looking at the camera already, then turned to him with puckered lips 😗 and only when their eyes met in that moment, Myeongcheol looked down and shook his head while secretely smiling ? Make of that what you will, but my imagination is working overtime 🤭 Is our puppy asking for a kiss and Myeongcheol is refusing bcs of the camera or what?🤭 Okay, I'll see myself out ... 🤣

Ohh thanks for the heads-up! Or else I would have kept waiting, I've already started wondering whether my YT notifications werent working properly.
😅
Kinda sad about the BTS, but also excited 😆💓
I set an alarm, I hope I'll be free at that time to catch them live 🥹🙏🏻
I'll definitely help you with the translation 🤗 (as long as I understand everything myself that is 🤣)

Not me searching up the plant names you mentioned. Thanks to you I'm at least learning sth bcs of this drama🙌 🤣

Also, when they showed the room full of plants (with a picture of a plant on the wall behind Jaehun btw🤣), my mind went straight to you - "the one who bought 2 new plants since the beginning of this drama will love this scene" 🙂

And you're so right! They should have put some holiday lights on the plants and played that "feliz never there"-sound that's been going around on insta and tiktok as bgm 🤣 (idk if u know that but its a woman singing feliz navidad which sounds exactly like that🤣🤣)

okk thank you for the infos! Then lets hope together 🙏🕯️ That special ep would be the best christmas gift 🥹

OMG special clip?? 🥹No, I dont use it and havent before either. If it says "fan-only", do we have to pay to become a "fan"?
I cant check it out rn, bcs my phone is full to the brim, 🫠and I cant, download another app 😂 But if it's for our babies I'll try make some space till then, if i know I dont have to pay 😅

(Sorry in the advance, for the long reply that somehow turned into an essay. I guess I'm just trying to make sense of my own and the other viewers' frustration 😪)
I partially agree with you. If people are calling this trash out of those reasons, that's really brainless. But I mostly see criticism over the missing plot? 🤔
And I guess the problem is that they promoted this drama in their trailer as this break-through first Korean BDSM BL and that just set the expectations too high and is attracting the wrong audience. 😅 Also some know the actors from Sweetheart Service and had high expectations for this pairing because of their chemistry. But chemistry can't save a plotless drama.

Personally, I'm not mad about the lack of sex scenes, I even prefer their sweet "vanilla" scenes from the later eps. (I've watched dramas where you wait for one kiss the whole drama - that's fine too if done right!)
Here I'm rather disappointed in the lack of direction (including in the bad BDSM scenes) and lack of overall vision what this drama is supposed to be about. Also, the sound and editing is just lackluster as well. Even a small budget doesn't excuse that many careless inconsistencies between scenes/cuts and the music/sounds being twice as loud as the dialogue. Even the BTS are more enjoyable to watch though, or rather because, they're less edited.
This all just angers me because, as you said, the acting is decent and the actors are doing their best to save this and people keep projecting the bad production onto the actors.
Having seen Sweetheart Service, I know if given a decent script and some direction on what their characters are actually supoposed to do they can so so much better. Atp this show is just a waste of the actors talent and chemistry.

OMG yes I totally forgot about the carrying scene that was really sweet 🤭🥰 I'm waiting for the director ask again if Myeongcheol can carry Hyeonseo a few times 🤭 😂 I dont even care anymore if they break character I just want to see them smile 😂💛

Ah and the scene right before that, did you see Jaehun/Myeongcheol 's baffled smile after Haejun wiped his finger on his shirt?? That made me cackle. One of the funniest scenes in the whole drama 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤣🤣🤣 and then he ran from him, just to turn around like the sweet puppy he is when Jaehun said he has sth for him 😂🐶💕

Hahahaha and yees I noticed him sitting way too close to his crotch too 😏 love how we both noticed it 🤣 I need the BTS of that like right now, no actually better yesterday 😂🤲🏻

Yes, just finished. Posted my usual "recap"-comment just now too 😉 this weeks ep is so nonsensical again 😮‍💨

I hate whenever that random classmate girl appears. Nobody cares about you or your random confession!! We only have 10 minutes and the first 40sec were already wasted on scenes of last weeks ep (that where even glitching on top of that, where I watched at least )🤦‍♀️

Even though Jaehun wasn't present to hear that confession, he didn't only treat Haejun like a puppy... he treated him like a mail box, that took me out 🤣🤣🤣 what was that??🤣 I get the whole puppy, kneeling thing ok, but folding the paper putting it into his shirt... it's giving slapstick comedy 🤣

The ONLY good thing this ep was the cuddling... 🫠 but the directing was so bad kinda taking me out of it 🥲 Why did they basically show two different takes back to back? I still have hopes that the BTS are better again...
but tbh they looked kinda uncomfortable in their position, they were so far apart on the bed (Jaehun's knee a bit too close to Haejun's crotch btw 🤣 ) until they entangled their legs and feet and then it looked like Jaehun wanted to move but couldn't. Where's the director doing his job when you really need him? 😭😭

Ep. 8 Idk what am I even expecting atp...😮‍💨
I hope the director steps on a lego, a really big, pointy one at that 🙂

- The flashbacks are so random, we have no way to know when or in which order those happened, how much time has passed or how their relationship is actually developing. But who still cares right?🤷‍♀️
- Jaehun suddenly being scared to lose Haejun without any reason or context is the weirdest attempt at some sort of plot ever.
Jaehun (on his knees): Do you know why I'm like this?
Haejun: Why?
[Me (internally screaming ): YEES WHYY ?? EXPLAIN IT TO ME]
Jaehun: Because I'm scared... Scared of losing you.
[Me: Ah, makes sense.... ABSOLUTELY F*ING NOOOT ]
Haejun: Hyung, I won't leave.
[Me: NO, PLS RUUUN, RUN FROM THE PRODUCTOIN TEAM PLS BOTH OF YOU. IF YOU NEED HELP BLINK TWICE]
- Who comes up with ideas like Jaehun folding the paper and putting it into Haejun's shirt as if he's a mail box. WHO does that?? 📬 You've got mail!! Its my letter of complaint demanding an explanation who directed this mess🤦‍♀️
- What's up with that hugging scene? Why do they first get closer until they hug, then they're suddenly apart and it starts over again. You should make a frking decision which take you choose and not include every take you shot. Who am I even explaining this to??💆‍♀️
- "You're like family to me..." - Haejun to the most random ass character that we've seen twice, maybe thrice for like 2 minutes in total?? Love her 🙂
- What is that whole diaologue about making memories while holding a random picture under the blanket and why does Jaehun make Haejun kiss a picture of himself?? And who or what is holding the blanket for them and why is it shaking that damn much?? 🤣
I have so many questions, after this ep my brains basically fried 💀

Gosh you made me laugh with tears 😂😂😂 This is the most hilarious but at the same time most plausible explanation for the missing BDSM I've seen here in the comment section.
I love and hate this show so damn much, if it's not self-torture watching this, what else am I even doing? 😂
