I saw that, but really really soon could mean anything, lol. For me really really soon is next month, but I highly doubt that's what *he* means. I think they're all aware of the hype surrounding the show for sure, but I definitely don't want them to rush because of it!

I think trailers usually drop a couple weeks before the premier, yes? So if we re getting early August for OF expect a mid/late July trailer. Same for Dangerous Romance.

Maybe he'll choose to really go different and pair Ray/Mew :D Take that, shippers (this is a joke I swear). I know that Jojo is a fan of happy endings but that doesn't necessarily mean that all of them will wind up together.

I have to admit I might be starting to look forward to Boston/Nick the most. But yeah, I can't see them ending happily. It would be interesting if no one ended up together, since you rarely see that. I could get behind it if it's satisfying.

My thoughts upon first watch (because yes this has become one that I tend to watch several times, who knew):

1. I have never seen Krist serve good kiss before. Good for him.
2. Not continues to be the worst, I see. Thank goodness Pear shut him down immediately when he started talking about Kawi. What a prick.
3. I don't care what Kawi says, the fact that it's Pisaeng he keeps turning to and confiding in says *something*, As does the fact that he keeps ditching Pear the supposed love of his life for him.
4. Dammit, I don't want to wait a whole week for the next ep!

Yeah I think someone in the cast said that might be the case. But if they have 24Q (Qs? I am unsure how to put it as I barely get the whole Q thing as it is), and they're only on...I think 8 or 9? I just feel like it might be a little longer. Dangerous Romance seems to be filming a tad more briskly.

Then again it's all speculation, and theoretically OF could come out first or they could be released together, just on different dates. My assumption from everything that people have said is that OF is gonna get a "late night TV" spot for sure, but don't know if this one is gonna be that risqué.

Nowhere official, unless you count a vibe I get (which really you should not!). I seem to recall reading something somewhere where someone said something to that effect but it might just be my own random suspicions manifesting, lol.

I don't think they're allowed to say stuff like that, are they? I honestly don't know how it works.

So...Ray/San(d) furious, Top/Mew sugary, and Nick/Boston dead drunk?

Although I suppose the first and last could be switched...everything we've seen so far definitely point to Top/Mew sugar though.

Only Friends seems to be filming fairly slowly. I think we'll get this first, and then Only Friends in the final quarter of the year.

Yep, but honestly I'd rather they go slowly and get something good than have them rushing and then it shows.

I already feel like I've been waiting forever, what's another month or two, really (torture, is what it is, but I know I'll live)

I'll admit, TopMew is my least anticipated couple, but that's because I really didn't love ABAAB. Maybe this show will change my mind (and since it's been hinted before that they're the only ones who will be endgame, goodness I hope so lol)

This is what I think. I think that Dangerous Romance will be first. Only Friends I expect in late August/early Sept at the earliest.

You can not like a character - people dislike all kinds. What gets my personal goat (so to speak) is the insistence that she's being underhanded and manipulative for simply seeing where things might go with a guy she knows likes her. It's this need to paint her as a villain when so far she's been nothing but decent.

I say again, I really really hope you're wrong.

I have to say that I really hope you're wrong. That faen fatale crap from the female LI in some BLs is old and tired. There is literally nothing wrong with what she is doing right now, nothing. She's free, Kawi is free, and she knows he likes her so why not see if there can be something there? To me that seems like a normal reaction - they call it a rebound for a reason, and tons of people do it. It doesn't make them inherently shady.

Also, as to your assertations that she's using Kawi to get close to Piseang...as of this episode they are definitely not being reflected in canon. The one time Pisaeng and Kawi interact around her it's awkward as hell, and aside from asking them both to eat when they're sitting together she never asks Kawi to bring Pisaeng along, etc. Whatever her motivations or feelings, her focus is clearly on Kawi.

I love Pear, and I have to say that your reaction to her very human reaction at being rejected bothers me a lot. I can't help but feel like if Kawi decided to chase Pisaeng after Pear rejected him he would not be getting the same amount of weird hate and accusations of shadiness.

Well I am liking it quite a bit so far. I don't know what to expect because I've not read the manga and I will try to avoid spoilers, but it's definitely got that melancholy feel that Japan does so well, and with a former illness that hospitalized Kazuma for a month I'm not going to be feeling secure in a happy ending. Japan does love their tragedies.

Curious about the big secret that Hide is badly hiding - whatever it is both sent him sobbing *and* has Ren being withdrawn, so it's gotta be something good (by which I mean angsty).

Definitely looking forward to next week.

It makes perfect sense to me. She just got rejected by someone she really likes, and she knows Kawi really likes *her*, so why not give him a chance and try to let him heal the hurt caused by Pisaeng's rejection?

It feels very relatable to me.

I'm done pretending that FirstKhao aren't the reason that I am interested - I have only seen ForceBook in ABAAB and I didn't finish it, and of course MarkNeo are an unknown (that I was admittedly not that into until the latest BTS pic). That said, while I do trust Jojo to give me an authentic, engaging show, I do *not* trust him to give me what my heart truly craves (and that's for San(d) and Ray to end up together at the end).

I do know it'll be a lot of fun, though. Especially if I can remove myself from getting too invested in any character but especially San(d), ha (but he's played by First so that might be a lost cause).

oooh okay if that happens then my messy cravings will be sated.

Thank you for the info, I won't expect it because I don't know how much they're adapting but it's nice to know that in some universe it happens.

I am trying! I do trust P'Jojo! Honestly I wouldn't be half as jazzed if it wasn't that cast with P'Jojo at the helm. I trust him to give me an authentic experience (if not necessarily the endgame my heart desires 😭)

I'd agree...if Only Friends were currently airing. As it is I want mess and I have no mess. Boo, I say!

Wait wait wait you can't just *say* that and then not explain. Come back here and explain!

All jokes aside, this show really said "kindness doesn't cost you anything, stop being mean" and my goodness, people listened. I don't think that we've seen the end of Not being the worst, but I like that Kwan being so decent to him rippled outward. Because she's not wrong - it's easy to tear people down, sure, but why? Kindness doesn't cost anything more, and you get the added boost of making someone's day a little bit brighter. And genuinely, I love that it was Not she did it for, because he's arguably one of the people who deserves it the least, The show really said *everyone* deserves encouragement, even you. And I love that. I love it.

Max is my favorite character in this drama, my goodness. He's decent but he doesn't mince words. Honestly everyone should have someone like that in their life. Kawi is very lucky.
