Oh yeah, that’s true. Love Stage was horrendously dull. Turbo was badly miscast… he acted so fakely cute and baby-like that it was uncomfortable to watch and he got so much screen time too… I liked the manga itself and I understand that this type of almost random and over the top comedy ist probably very hard to translate onto the screen in a live Action Setting but they didn’t even try. The only one I liked was the older brother. He acted campy and funny and I thought it suited the tone of the manga but he was literally the only one who acted that way, which made everything even weirder.
Well…yeah maybe. But even in 2005 and 2007 jap bl had better kisses than this, so I really can’t forgive it. People say that Korea ist super homophobic (and it’s true) but other East Asian aren’t very lgbtq welcoming either and they still manage to deliver for the most part. There are a couple of points where I have to disagree. I do feel like the WYEL completely papered over the problem. The conflict with the dad was completely ignored and never mentioned again. The dad sent his son abroad, then he came back after having no contact with his crush, they awkwardly kissed and suddenly it’s a happy ever after? I don’t know man…seems a bit weird to me. What happened with the dad? Did he suddenly approve or what? Did the son cut ties with him? It’s just never mention again…

I liked WYEL right up until the last couple of episodes and that embarrassing press of lips at the end. The pacing and drama in the last 2 episodes became so over the top and whack that it canceled out any positive feeling that I might‘ve developed before. The time skip too, was like a rotten cherry on a cake that’s already past its expiration date.
Interesting… might be worth checking out the manhwa version, thank you. It seems they completely reinterpreted the story and made an almost pretentious slice of life out of an obvious comedy.

That’s so true. I feel like k-BLs receive generally a much better average rating on mdl than BLs from other countries. I for once seem to struggle quite a bit with kbls even though I do like and watch some mainstream k dramas. There are only two kbls that I genuinely like and that’s Semantic error and To My Star 1. Every other kbl seems to pass me by, emotionally or otherwise (apart from strongberry‘s works maybe). Blueming was another where I just couldn’t understand the hype. It wasn’t bad by any stretch but it was mediocre and kind of bland. I usually check out the reviews before I start a series (that’s why I’m here) but now I’m not excited about TMS 2 :( I‘m sorry, I just needed to get it off my chest. I just feel so alone in my inability to connect to most k-BLs…
I’m super excited for this! Finally so happy for Fiat bc he absolutely deserves a main role! I don’t even care what this story is about, I’ll watch it for Fiat alone.
I don't know the link for iqiyi but you can look it with sub on kisskh.me
It’s not available in my region either. Do you mind telling me what region you’re using to watch it? Same with “Dear Doctor I’m coming for Souls” I can’t find it either..
I enjoyed it much more than it’s predecessor. Granted, the story is very simple and riddled with cliches but at least it wasn’t as dull and confusing as it’s prequel. The last two episodes felt weirdly out of place but it’s ok. I like Mek a lot, he seems to be the better actor out of all his co-stars in this .
It’s a bit messy but still a better watch than Gen Y. The only thing I got from this show is that Boss is hot. Is it shallow? Yes but there was barely anything else that kept my attention otherwise. The chemistry between the main guys was lukewarm at best and while Bank and Bonus are cute it just…wasn’t enough.
I love this show so much! I’m rewatching it right now and I’ll be rewatching it some more. It’s a such feel-good series and a true gem! All the characters have such unique personalities and are incredibly well- written. This is one of the instances where I like the main couple the most but the side couples are also very unique and cute!
Haven’t see something as horrendously contrived as this for a very long time or maybe ever. Cutie Pie felt more fun than this and that’s saying a lot. I like Fah though.
It’s not good but I liked Tommy’s quirkiness. Han Gi Chan is a good actor and Holland did pretty ok as well but I wish they had made Tommy into a supernatural being. Judging by his make up a zombie would be the most fitting but I’d settle for any other non-human entity. His quirky behaviour and extravagant clothes could be explained with his non-human background. It would also give this show an edge that it sorely needs! Because the plot is sh*-!
I completed this because of Boss (BadPennyGirl) and the rest of the community who were watching this despite the…
I feel pretty much the same way. It wasn’t the most tiring bl drama I’ve ever watched but it got extremely draggy especially in the second half of the show. Another thing is I expected Kuea to become more sassy and open towards Lian but he never did? Even at the end when everything was said and done (whatever that means) he still behaved like the meek, plain doll that Lian was so against marrying. The power dynamic felt off as well. Lian came off as more of a dad (daddy if you will) instead of an actual equal partner to Kuea. I would’ve even enjoyed their manipulation game if they both had an equal amount of power in the relationship but alas, they did not.
Lol they really managed to shoehorn almost every bl trope that’s under the sun into this mini series. It was funny though. Not gonna lie, it feels more like an 8-part suit commercial than anything else. I don’t want to sound cheap but the only good parts were the chemistry and the make out sessions.
The only reason I gave it a 7.5 was bc I was still kind of entertained throughout the first 7 episodes. Unironically the best moment in the show was the vampire joke, it was somehow the most memorable part for me. Also, they did try to convey some good messages about marriage inequality but that’s it.
I liked the manga itself and I understand that this type of almost random and over the top comedy ist probably very hard to translate onto the screen in a live Action Setting but they didn’t even try.
