“Although the title includes the word ‘romance,’ the main story is really about people going through growing pains,” the director said. “It captures various emotions and happenings beyond the BL theme — from friendships and conflicts to a student’s innocent crush on a teacher. I don’t think romantic feelings dominate the narrative,” he added.

i've read the press conference articles and he said that there will be crush on their teachers.

Humint cast episode was so fun. Been a long time since JIS in variety and PJM is really competitive.

love the ending credits where they show entire casts. it reminds me of hollywood rom-com credits.

so the music produser isn't GY then because the conflict starts with her old clients, right?

Oh? Because I saw Netflix news page, they said Gong Yoo entered this contract marriage due to preserve his previous marriage. That's why in the teaser you can hear GY said "Is this how this works?" references to the manual book of contract marriage.

FL will be having contract marriage with different men. The ML is her 5th client.

True

does it have more BLs plot?

Ikr I also thought this looks vague and they focused to Doctor Climax identity. Thank you.

Anyone care to explain what happening to Linda and Tukta in the end of episode?

It's different. The trans one is Lee Joo Young in Broker movie.

kinda frustrated with this lakorn which on its 9th episode yet liu seems not sense anything wrong with faye smh

Thank you! :)

Anyone knows who sing Beyond The Wall?

agree. but i see sa ra feels suspicious of her in the first place. hope it would turn something for sara.

they're ex lovers

ah you should check out FL's a acting from her iconic Hospital Playlist or her filmography (she really did a great job in this). both ML and FL in this drama has this warm positive aura.

HAHAHA thank you, my favorite food!

Can't believe I binge-watched these 6 episodes in one day. I think I'm getting hooked to Moeun - Jinwoo's story but twas unexpected for her confessing. Also there is no preview for next episode haaah.

They could've wrapped it in 12th episode. Why bother giving it all to 16th episode? and everytime I feel bad for Sang Su, he's the real tortured one. (But they're great portraying this character).
