Ywa

I don't mind at all that there was no kiss scene but the last two episodes were really rushed. Time jumps felt much too jarring and there was no chemistry between them, especially in episode 7 like there was in the first 5 episodes. Some longing looks would've expressed how they felt and no kiss was needed. A hug can do wonders as well. But in the last episode, they were hella awkward with each other. The first 5 episodes were spectacular and then it was like somebody else entirely made 6 & 7 and the acting was less believable too.

The first two episodes are chef's kiss. Beautifully shot and acted.

I don't know why but the last two episodes felt a little rushed. Something was missing. Maybe because I've read the manhwa. Still sweet but the first 5 were better for me for some reason.

I love it so much that I watched the release episodes twice and also read the manhwa.

I read spoilers that there are no kiss scenes whatsoever.

Yup, I agree.

The eye contact between Lue and Ken is on point which is why I haven't dropped it yet. There's so much mystery and angst there. The plot is just confusion and the weekly strangulation of Ken. And don't come for me but I couldn't care less about Hin and the other guy.

I'm glad I'm not the only feeling this way.

I feel the same. This series is just Uea being molested over and over by gross men and him throwing himself into purely sexual relationships that pile on the trauma. There's barely any character development, Uea and King are not fleshed out, they're 2 dimensional. And the sex scenes are weird, at least for me. There are so many of them and fetishistic. They're not realistic at all. The one in episode 6 cleared it up for me that this is not the series for me. It''s just soft porn with badly written script and characters.

And you're right, since like in the past 2 years a lot of new BLs just have explicit scenes galore but no plot or characters to care about.

Same, which is I've decided to drop this after seeing episode 6.

The FL is too much in this series. No backbone, no self-respect. Her low self-esteem is super triggering. The ML is so insecure in the shadow of his brother it's painful to watch. Then the SL is just manipulative in slimy. It's so messy I don't care for any of these people.

Same.

I see. They're really committed to this plot 'twist' then. I'll just have to work harder to suspend my disbelief then.

Watched the first episode, this is going to be a hard pass for me, yikes!

The leads are really handsome but the story is 'eh'. I'm also finding it hard to believe Mr. Leather Gloves is Din because no plastic surgery can be that good, even his skin tone is completely different. And what about the voice? The voice should be the same but it's not. I can also spot a height difference. It better not turn out that he's Din because it's too much.

When it comes to BLs I ignore the rating unless it's a 5 ore something and just go with the feeling a few episodes give me. I would have missed gems because a lot of BLs I really like are rated below 8.

Also, can they just stop with the plots where they first met when one of them was a grown man and the other was a BOY, it freaking creepy. I can't believe the only country in Asia where same sex is legal is producing some of the most offensive gay stories out there that perpetuate really damaging stereotypes. It's enough that we still have major issue with consent (I'm looking at you Thai series) but Taiwan takes the cake with "beware of your gay son he might just fell in love with his brother" or "I've been looking after you since you were a boy and now I'm in love with you". Just stop it Taiwan!

This season was terrible, y'all. Besides the completely stupid, bland, and boring storyline, the actors did such a poor job. The second couple, eh, a little better, but the actors in the first couple - atrocious acting right there. I finished the season because I kept hoping by some miracle it would become better but to add insult to injury they shoved down our throats the incesty-rapey couple from H4. There hasn't been a decent BL from Taiwan since We best love and H3. At this point, I'm not even going to try to watch these anymore.

Exactly. I just skipped over their scenes because they were making me want to gag.
