I’M EATING MY WORDS!!!! MAY 14 LET’S GO!!!!

Even the synopsis has been removed from Netflix😭 I wonder if they’re doing a lot of internal changes to plot and editing…

I doubt Netflix Japan would be behind an intentional delay (since as you mentioned Japan barely has problems with BL in mainstream media) however the pessimist in me fears it has something to do with Taecyeon’s management or Korean producers on the show, since SK is more conservative on that part🥲 I could imagine that’s why they marketed the drama as LGBTQ at first, but now are ambigious about the whole thing

OK but that bit in the end of EP2 where they cut to the Physical: Asia credits was genuinly so funny😭

My thoughts exactly!! For the first time ever, I am suddenly craving a season 2🥹

One thing I appreciated was how good Dom was at remembering nearly everybody’s name!! Most contestants would say “the big guy” or “the judoka” but he would always mention contestants by name and hype them up🫶🏼

It’s so crazy how well the actors played both high school and adult versions of their characters! Despite all being in their mid 20s, they all looked so realistic as teens😳

Netflix released their 2026 lineup, Soul Mate is not in sight🥲 https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/new-shows-on-netflix-2026

The second half of the season is listed as a different show on MDL called “Your Turn to Kill: Counterattack”🫶🏼

Now that the translation of the Webtoon has come further along, the biggest difference between that and the drama is that Minju doesn’t exist, and Minhyuk seems to start falling for Jihun👀

I definitely recommend it!! It can be read on the official Webtoon app/website🫶🏼

This also bums me out as a Webtoon reader!! All the chapters released so far seem to be about how Yunjae learns how to care for Jieun, no matter her body, but I guess the drama kind of ruined that whole message by introducing Minju’s character…

One of my favorite things that never gets acknowledged is that Minhyeok doesn’t know about Jieun’s body swap, he just thinks that Yunjae and Jihun are gay and wants to protect them ahahah

The show is so much better than this hell of a comment section please believe me😭 I don’t know why everybody is so angry about everything🥲

OMG all my opinions on Minju will change if she ends up catching feelings for Jihun LMAOOOOO

I agree omg, this might be one of the hardest love triangles I’ve ever seen in a drama, and they’re not even main characters😭😭

They NEED to give Kang Min-ju some redeeming qualities because otherwise she’s just insufferable😭😭

I AGREE!! At first that’s what I thought it was ahahaha, and was surprised it wasn’t the case

I’m reading its English release on the Webtoon app, and it’s still ongoing there, so whether or not FL turns back is unknown to me, BUT I’m all caught up on the released chapters (the free ones, so I’m like 5 episodes behind the paid ones), and it already seems like the K-drama is changing a lot of the original plot! For starters, Chuu’s character is original to the drama and doesn’t exist at all, making it much more bromancey will-they-won’t-they in the Webtoon. The comic IS tagged LGBTQ+ on the app, so I must assume it will delve into that more in future chapters. Also, there’s no “family gene” that turns Ji-eun into a man, it just kinda happens lol. Most of the comic is comedy-“romance” about how to navigate life now that Ji-eun has become Ji-hun. Since Ji-hun is still completely in love with Yun-jae after the transformation, she is willing to stay friends to not let him completely out of her life, and Yun-jae also doesn’t want to completely break-up since he still loves his girlfriend. That’s kinda it so far!

Though this doesn’t seem to be a BL, I’m currently reading the Webtoon and it IS tagged as LGBTQ+ content on the app!! So far I really enjoy the comic, so I’m very excited for the drama, regardless of the direction they’re going with🥹🥲
