USA - The half of it that hates Donald Trump as much as you do.

So... Is it BL or not? Those tags say it’s a gay romance and LGBTQ+ but I’m really not interested in bromance…
Thanks.
I think I've seen the last two and dropped them.
I'll check out the other three.

LOL, I have it 1/2 star, it could not go lower 😂This is the second work by the same director that is homophobic…
Ahhh...I will check out the director, and leave an abusive message about how shitty this show is. :D

Yep, I gave it a 1/10 here, too. I don't fuck around with this kind of trash anymore.

Why would they kiss? The hockey player's not even gay.
"They gave a few hints about Johan being gay, but I don't know any gay man who'd wait around for years for some guy to figure out his own thing (especially if he looked like Taecyeon)."
THIS!

Thank you for reassuring me there is at least one other non-delulu person on MDL.

Do you mind sharing where you read about the show, reshoots, etc? That would explain why the thing is such a mess in the end.
I am sick to death of Korean idols taking gay roles but not wanting to play gay.

It didn't work for me at all because it was pretending to be something it isn't willing to be out in the open. Also, the plot, aside from the lack of the GAY, is absurd, what with the nonstop coincidences and massive improbabilities.

I can't believe NF ran with this. Tons of openly gay plots and characters have appeared on netflix, what do they need with this censored bromance shit?

This is 100% BL. The people complaining in the comments don’t know how to read subtext. The charecters regularly…
...and that was the end of that.
What did he mean by "the same?"
When did Ryu clearly indicate he was gay.
Be precise.

It offends me to see that this drama has a bad grade because there is no real proof that it is a BL so no kissing…
Holy shit, what a load of nonsense.

They are together…
In your dreams. lol
In the series, one is straight, and the other one is dead.

Your AI-written BS is at least worth a chuckle.

Is there some reason it couldn't focus on all the above?

The romance isn’t overt which is why a lot of people are upset. They were hoping for something a long the lines…
The romance is nonexistent and one of the MCs is not ever confirmed as gay, the other only obliquely.

With all the gay content available in 2026, why make excuses for this 1950s garbage?

All these comments about crying makes me want to skip it… is it a sad ending?
It's a BS censored bromance ending.
How sad can it be?

Ignore the haters already! It is a Stunning story that packs an emotional punch (see what I did there 👀🫶🤛!)…
The boxer is gay.
What makes you think the hockey player is gay?
What you see in your imagination doesn't count.

The delusional MDLers are out again.

I'm liking this, but the boxing is so offffff, the camera directing is really good, but they can't box for shit,…
It's not nitpicking to expect an actor/director to present a boxer character as believably a boxer.

You have to be delusional to think it is gay.
Stop using "queer."
Would you use "n****r" in discussing Black content?

You are pathetic.
He said "I love you" in the last 2 seconds of a six-hour series.
Friends love each other, too.
They barely hug, they never confess in a romantic sense, they never kiss, they never sleep together, they never unambiguously are presented as being a gay couple.

It's all in your head.

There's almost nothing gay about it, other than some very familiar tropes regarding what happens to gay people because they deserve it.

Yes the series lost focus in the middle. At least one episode worth content could be cut and given to the leads…
How about some content given to the leads' current stories? That would have been nice.

We didn't get clarity in the last 15 minutes, either.
Unless you mean The Untamed type of clarity, which is none at all.
