The good: -eye candy, 6 out of 7 of the main and supporting male actors are hot...especially Ja and Puth -intimacy, I love a very physically romantic couple and I liked that about this show, but I also didn't like it because I felt it was too stiff in delivery -fashion, I loved all the man-cleavage, tight pants and basketball uniforms lol
The bad: -the story, the writing seemed lazy -lack of accountability, it seems like Manner of Death is the only BL in which criminals go to jail...
I enjoyed it but never really got invested in the relationship between the two main characters. And as the final…
I think he looks reminiscent of New. Like if he and a taller, tanner, skinny friend of his went to a BL cosplay party wearing swim shorts, I'd totally know they were Earth/New in Waterboyy, but aside from their mouth shape (I guess) and very particular angles, I don't see it. lol

My ranking of Korean BLs I've seen and liked to the point of being able to rank them: 1.Light On Me 2. Where Your Eyes Linger 3. Color Rush (this one's actually tied at 2nd place) 4. You Make Me Dance 5. Mr. Heart 6. Nobleman Ryu's Wedding 7. The Tasty Florida
Special mentions (in no particular order) as this list is made of movies/shorts -No Regret* -Night Flight* -White Night* -A First Love Story -Step For You -The Depths*
*these movies occupy a special place in my heart because they're from a time when what defined Korean BL was: when dark reality meets artistic expression. They're explicit and sometimes hard to understand, but I really liked them. Polar opposite to now. I think Where Your Eyes Linger was really the turning point for Korean BL. It's all more typical BL now. I don't think we'll be seeing much gritty stuff anymore.
I really liked Cha Woo Min. Something about him just seems relatable and sweet. I also love restaurant setting romances and especially the fact that jajangmyeon features so much (it's one of my favorite Chinese-Korean foods). As stereotypically sweet as it was though, I still wanted more fluff and cuteness (sue me). Not bad. Very easy watch.
Who is the girl that bends over backwards to get a gay guy or to get a gay guy to break up with his bf? Where is she? Does she exist anywhere outside BL? I feel like the scenes of accidentally falling into your crush's arms occur more in reality than does the spiteful girl who won't let gay men be gay. This is such a bizarre trope to me.
Strongberry strikes again. I loved it with my only complaint is that it wasn't longer (which I totally understand). Very real, very sweet, and very well done. Keep the good work!
I don't know who casted In/earth but they destroyed this show. He is simply bad at acting, not good looking at…
I don't think I feel as strongly as you do about it and I did like all the cast generally, buuuut if I *had* to pick my least favorite out of the six of them that made up the two couples, I'd have to say Earth.
