I have to throw out my plot proposal; perhaps the show-makers will see it and re-shoot the second half of the…
😂🤣 i hope now creators will consider reshooting the other half. This transition to Mouse vibe all of the sudden would create a non forgettable piece which equals sudden success
Who's "we?" I like toxic as hell female characters in BL too. They cause great drama sometime. Toxic male characters…
"people are gravitating towards non-toxic shows" What do you mean by toxic exactly? If you mean morally grey characters in morally grey environment, then for example latest success of KP proves that people are literally hungry for stories and characters with depth and whose actions are questionable, it generates this thrill that fluffy shows just don't deliver.
Why do you think there will be a time jump? Why would that be necessary? Shin's remaining time in school? Off…
Considering how Minato is constantly fighting with himself not to be physical with Shin (cause in his mind he's too young), I guess time jump is the only way for them to finally be together and for us to witness this 😅
But ofc I'd prefer for it to happen in this timeline
I really love this series, one of the few ones I don't feel the urge to skip any scene at all, even one minute. I could watch it and watch it... and don't get bored. We're halfway into the story and I really hope they had some great idea to fill the remaining time, I bet there'll be a time jump, let's just hope that events in the future will take more than half of the last episode
This trope is used a lot in Korean and Thai shows, now I see Japanese use it, too. They use it not just in BL,…
exactly, it's used in hetero romance too so i guess it's about adding extra emotions and simply more content to the story when there's no other idea to fill the remaining time (scenes with crying / thinking characters, then whole drama build around it, they can have emotional interactions etc), while in reality it just feels too unrealistic and overused
seeing GMMTV as a producer is really starting to be a red flag for me now... half of this show is ads, the other half weird forced fanservicelike romance gmmtv's bls are going downwards in the speed of light at this point
Omg I'm so excited, I admired Leo for a long time and I stumbled across this upcoming drama just now. Hope it will be good cause Korean bls tend not to disappoint (with a few exceptions) ♥️
Omg where have I been all this time, I missed the coronation of our cult leader and the official gathering of cult members! Can I at least be your pet if all roles are reserved? I can be a dog or a hedgehog, whatever is available 🥺 But cult needs to have rallies to perform the rituals - hey cult management, we need time and place!
I love this comment section, you are all cuties, my day was made.
Wow this review matches my feelings about the show so well that I could write every word you written without even changing anything. Without Vegas' character and VP appearing in later episodes this show would be just above average for me - still better than most bl's but nothing particularly great. I just cannot cope with the fact how poorly they treated VP - the most promising, captivating, emotional, dark and sexy couple here. Their screentime is a joke. I feel irritation everytime I think about it. I just need more dark and disturbed Vegas, more VP, more real mafia business. And I agree about Kinn's character - at the beginning KP relationship was promising but then all went downwards.
Finally I decided to try watching it until the end (I tried before but I dropped it). Unfortunately it didn't get better. The leading couple is just unwatchable for me, they are so awkward and as story progresses they become more and more boring, so the latter episode the more skipping. Every time Pharm is close to Dean his facial expression tells us that he'd be most pleased if he could run away, it looked like In being inside of Pharm is forcing him somehow to be with Dean (aka Korn). The kisses are so awkward, it takes ages for them to meet their lips, we just watch their heads getting closer and closer to each other for 15 mins while listening to cringy music. The couple from the past has way better chemistry and at least we can feel that they really WANT to be with each other. The pacing of the story is sooooo sloooow it could just fit in like 5 eps without all the unnecessary scenes and pauses between sentences. For me music during kiss scenes was unbearable - that almost acapella wailing was so cringe that I was just muting it to watch in peace. Which didn't help cause scenes itself were cringy too.
I won't be original if I say that I watched it only for side characters and WinTeam; their story wasnt perfectly written tho. I still don't understand why Team just went to Win's room all of a sudden to sleep with him, cause he couldn't fall asleep alone, like wtf? Their past interactions weren't too intimate for it to happen, where are all in between scenes? Although they had great chemistry and I really like Boun's character, a little witty and naughty, quite intersting, especially compared to dull and expresionless Dean and always crying and displeased Pharm. And I like Boun as an actor and his appearance too (for me his face is just perfect, but it's unrelated to the show).
Sorry for harsh review, but this bl is just a waste of time imo. Good plot idea but very badly executed.
I'm waiting for Between Us to air and I really hope they will not ruin it. Although I have some doubts about it :<
