I know what you mean and I felt the same. But June already met someone who is looking very young too, so I guess, that*s the path he will follow...

Maybe it is because I've watched the cut version?

Not really impressed, sorry. Yeah, the boys are cute. But, again a ghost story? Okay, after a billion engineer plots this is probably still something new, but I had to fight through the first episode. The flow was too slow. And then again, those stereotypical actions. It is too early to dismiss this, it's just the first episode, but I hope it gets a bit better. The filmography and acting was okay, it's just the story seems uninspired. Or maybe I have watched too many Thai series lately. The series looks okay, in fact, but this just did not rock me.

And a good singer too...

If episode 8 is the third volleyball game, I go into boycotting Filipino series until end of time (or Corona, which is probably the same).

So, episode 7, no development. 2 episodes to go? Is this one of those plots where the characters hate each other until 10 seconds before the end and then just decide being good and become happy bf? Okay, it is a masculinity thing in the Philippines, I guess. But there is nothing attracting me here. Why would I "ship" them. They behave unmature and illogical, so my interest in seeing them getting closer is 0. If they hate each other, okay. Just take someone else from the boy pool. I mean, there are quite some handsome guys hanging up there. No need to torture us with that 0-content plot.

Yes, that is what I wanted to say. Ok, I was a bit provoking. There are some BL with real plots :)

It means that I felt refreshed to watch something which somehow had content and made even a bit of sense to me. The "plot" in BL is mostly totally irrational, if even existant. I totally understand that it is due to being BL. There is no need to be logical, because the concept is illogical by itself. Like SciFi or Fantasy.

I have commented it once before and will do again: My opinion is that it is mostly ignored because it is not a BL story. I guess there are not - globally seen - many people into Thai series. Most Western viewers tend to be fans of BL. For instance, while World of BL gives data to The Player - also not a BL series - it totally ignores 55:15. I usually watch BL and I stumbled accidentally over this series now.

What's the relation to the scriptwriters? Is it the Thai word you criticise or the translation? I am a translator, these dramas are in 99% not translated by professionals, but fans. If you want to blame someone, then blame the translator.

Looks quite nice. Refreshing that it is in the Sports faculty, though I really would love to see some more mature dramas, wouldn't even mind to have some mid-thirties playing. At least it's not school children. The plot seems simple and the hints for upcoming problems and quarrels are already laid. The filming seems to be high quality and so far the subtitles even made total sense. This might not be a masterpiece, but I am sure it is enjoyable.

Thank you. It is not that important, but I only wondered. Apparently, the focus is more on the relationships of the characters. No one has addressed it so far in the series, just that Eun-ho comes from far away.

Anyone here, who can enlighten me, when this is playing? I mean the time. It says "feudal past", which does not say anything to me. No need for an exact date, just is it 200 years, 500...1000y back?

Why does it suddenly have just two episodes? I have already watched 5????

Yes, I agree with you. But Baker Boys was never really a BL drama as such. And most people were thinking that it is because of Singto. But 55:15 is definitely not a BL because there are 5 stories running aside of which Songpol's is just one. I am sure we will get to see more of him and Piphu and maybe others, but what I meant above is: We should not just reduce it to a BL story. Because it isn't. And it would be unfair to judge it just about that.
As I have said: For me this is one of the best dramas of the (past) and recent year.

I totally agree. I didn't want to compare those series. It is just the fact that the scores of Baker Boys fell when people realised there won't be a couple, nor a kiss. Hope I won't spoil now.

Ah, ok. So the child murder story was also there? And no BL? I wonder why people then complain so much about these if it already was in the Korean (and maybe even already in Japanese) version. I will watch the Korean one first and later the Japanese to get my own opinion of those series as well. Thank you :)

I think, the correct English would be "a few gay...characters".

I haven't watched. Neither the Korean, nor the Japanese version. Was there a similar plot, and was it BL or not? At the moment, I am watching too many series already, but if I'll put the Korean and Japanese versions on my future to-watch list.
