This is a typically slick Chinese production, full of cute, goodlooking young men, lovely settings and has a good premise for a BL romcom. Chi Chen is rich, tall, arrogant, gay and always dresses in black. Suo Wei, who is shorter, cute, quick-witted, poor, straight and is miffed that his golddigger of a girlfriend ditched him for Chi Weng, has gone from grabbing the attention of Chi Chen to becoming someone he's friends with, his ultimate intention being to make Chi Chen fall for him, though how that will make the awful girlfriend return to him is unclear and most unlikely. It will never happen because the two guys unexpectedly develop feelings for each other. It's lighthearted, amiable, has its funny moments and easy to watch, featuring 24 full-length episodes to keep us entertained for quite a while, very different in tone and style from what we get from Thailand and other Asian countries. I'm glad the Chinese are now making shows for the international market so they don't have to worry about Chinese censorship. They're not as 'spicy' as many Thai shows, but given time, I'm sure they'll get there.

Agreed.

Nup! It's 30 episodes.

Pity there's no drug test for performance enhancing drugs. Yut's score with the punching ball was higher than Thun's so he doesn't really need to use steroids. I think there's something else going on with his use that we're not aware of yet. Thun is not the sort of sportsman that would even think of cheating like that.

Yut as a character fills the same position as Willy does in Pit Babe S2, however, he has no intent of breaking up Keen and Thun even though he made a play for Keen. His close interactions with Keen since they first met at the bar certainly rile Thun but Keen, like Charlie, is immensely loyal to his boyfriend so there's no chance of anything developing.

The best KBL I've seen for a long time and the main couple are totally adorable. It's no wonder Jeong U is so taken with JiWon - the cuteness, sweetness of character, those puppy eyes - he's irresistible. For his part, Joeng U is tall, charming, handsome, thoughtful and has indicated he's falling for JiWon, so by the time they were together in the gym, he could not hold himself back and kissed JiWon. It took him a little by surprise, but then he leaned in and kissed back... perfection, after which came the confession. I couldn't be happier the way this is progressing.

No, Tharn was Blue's close friend and was not the head of the music club, who is the tall guy in the white shirt. I think his name is Time.

There's an iconic portrait of Queen Alexandra, the Danish wife of King Edward VII, wearing strands of pearls around her neck (https://www.antiquejewellerycompany.com/princess-alexandra-of-denmark/ - it features other pictures and a short biography; definitely worth checking out). I mention this because each little scene is like a precious pearl. Each has something pertinent to say or has a situation that arises which always manages to get resolved to the satisfaction of those involved, and every time they never fail to capture the essence of a scene and make it special, in most cases bringing another smile to one's face as it concludes. For this, I congratulate the writers who possess an uncanny ability with dialogue, a terrific script, and a really talented bunch of young actors, all combined with flawless videography and direction, to produce this BL masterpiece. In my estimation, it is one. GMMTV have perfected this genre like no other company. Over the years, they've given us countless series to watch, some memorable, some forgettable, but this one, in its modest way, is as precious as the jewels worn by Queen Alexandra.

They're deliberately concealing what happened to Blue the day he died and who possibly caused it. Cia is doing his best to find out but he won't ask that direct question. Blue's sister won't talk about it, we just found out his friend Tharn stole money but the most suspicious person remains the head of the music club.

The continuing storyline in Ep. 7 was not conducive to BL content. Peace knows Sun has warm feelings for him, however, for his safety, Peace has to be extremely careful in his interactions with Sun, especially showing affection, in order not to trigger his father to do something drastic. But don't despair, we'll see them kissing properly soon enough.

Finally, a kbl that has something going for it - a shy, cute, short boy (Ji Won) and a handsome, charming, taller boy (Jungwoo). Both have something in common: Ji Won is a former Olympic basketball player and Jungwoo is a star campus basketball player. Their lives at university suddenly become intertwined and unexpectedly, Ji Won falls for Jungwoo after he breaks up with his girlfriend. It has a slight feel of jbl, principally because of the frequent audible thoughts from Ji Won, which are important. From the start, Jungwoo treats Ji Won in a way that looks like a slightly amused indifference but masks a warm and friendly attitude that draws Ji Won to him. This accounts for why he drives Ji Won home when he's drunk in the first episode and in the second, having noticed Ji Woo has cut his finger, he not only proffers a bandaid but applies it as well. Both are drawn to each other as if a magnet is pulling them together. I look forward to the imminent and ensuing romance as it unfolds.

The way this is going, I don't see a romance developing between Jom and Yo, as much as some of the forced close-ups we see would suggest, principally because Jom is the Chief of the village and Yo is a schoolboy, albeit a bit older than the others in his class. I'm probably wrong and it's going to be forced somehow. Sigh. I doubt the chemistry is there to make it work as it should. Otherwise, I'm enjoying this series because it's different and original, there's the delightful trio of young boys who are always entertaining, the feisty grandma and finally, having not seen Saint in a starring role since Love by Chance from 2018(!), his appearance in this role shows how much he's developed as an actor, one that is a world apart from that series, and he's nailing it.

According to MDL, it's 18.

Officially, Ep. 5 doesn't air till next week. It appears some viewers saw a Fast Track version with iffy subtitles. They couldn't wait? I just saw Ep. 4 which saw Chain get messed up by Jorn and his gang, the reason, it seems, is that he's trying to steal Nu away from Sun. For a university setting, I suggest that's taking matters too far but according to what I just read, Ep. 5 will be even worse. What I did learn from Ep. 4, however, is how the schoolkids and the university are connected: Sun's younger sister is part of the girl clique trying to elect Frong as school president. This boy, who is a nerd, is helping a traditionally handsome boy to become president, and after having enough of the girls, he goes to find him and they end up kissing. This is one unorthodox series.

This series is not about the storyline; it's about boys in love. Most of them are navigating it for the first time and it's not always easy but on the whole, they're doing it rather well. There might be the occasional misstep but it soon passes. Why? Because these boys are thoughtful and caring, they want their relationships to work, and the two main pairs are very different - Kim doing his best to pacify Mon's mother and the outgoing Kit nurturing the introspective Shane. Even with the two teachers there is a similar dynamic and look how far they've got. The boys are juggling their school lives with their love lives and it's entrancing and adorable. That's enough to keep one absorbed and it's all we need.

Both Nankrai and Victor find Tontae rather adorable (indeed, he is) and certainly have developing romantic feelings towards him. The big question is who will be the one he falls in love with. Nankrai has a head start but Victor is quickly catching up.

While watching from afar with his binoculars? That wasn't Jun-ho. - it was a younger Korean. He then says, "Circle back and pick up Jun-ho and the others.".

The romance between Sun and Peace got off to a rocky start because of their individual circumstances. They know they like each other and also know they have to be very circumspect concealing their love as much as possible, especially to Joe and the son he's nominated to keep an eye on them. Peace chose an odd time to kiss Sun; good thing the Korean with the binoculars decided not to report it. At present, there is much 'business' to attend to and until things settle down, they have little chance to develop their relationship. Be patient. I'm sure the steamy kissing scenes (and possibly more) will be on our screens in due course.

That climate-controlled garden and bird sanctuary is so beautiful, it's enough to make me want to make it a priority to visit if and when I go to Japan.
