(let me breathe for a minute after seeing your ning profile pic...just finished it so i'm still emotional about him!) who were the parallels? I didn't catch it.

for the rest of the series i skipped any of that weird hetero mess (because it was a hot mess) and the rest felt very wholesome. i kept waiting for the main couple to have a dramatic break-up like every other damn BL series...but they were committed and supportive until the end! The trope rich/controlling dad or the typical throwing a girl in for a jealousy storyline barely touched the couple and that is...so rare in any series I've seen!

It should come with a disclaimer that if you enjoyed the first season DON'T WATCH THIS ONE!

In season one, the chemistry between the main couple + budding romance with the second couple + their amazing friendship as a group...the synergy (not sure what word to use...maybe just chemistry again)...made me feel so good and truly light-hearted. I have watched again when I needed a serotonin boost.

In the second season...they decided to tear them all apart so all the magic was lost. Only thing I liked about second season was very end of last episode when they were all back together again in the movie theater and parking garage....because BIG SURPRISE...they gave us what we came for from season one. It was so disappointing.

I felt way too attached to this drama because of how amazing Ram and King's storyline developed with so much depth, especially with Ram's home life. Like you said about the sister and the meta fan girls/BL tropes, not a highlight, but didn't take away from the sincerity of the couple for me.

I shied away from Mek and Boss' storyline because I thought it would be a cliqued one boy pining for another in a relationship and thought there is no way they would have more than two couples...and I was so wrong. I really enjoyed them after the big twist because they were a serotonin boost.

Was there another couple? The main couple who? Now that was a cliqued mess. If you take away all the jealousy plots...like seriously more than one is ridiculous...maybe redeemable. Jealousy plots are like the bargain bin trope to throw in conflict...and then two!? Bohn was creating drama on purpose, too, like when he would pretend to be upset and then wonder what the hell is wrong with Duen. They could not stand up to the other couples and felt like a harsh contrast.

Yes! I agree with all of this. I started watching for the main couple but ended up skipping through all their scenes for the second couple (which I felt kind of so-so about...like maybe something was missing even though I enjoyed them).

Calling this "bromance" is 100% accurate! Love all your points in your review.

I thought I had more time to adequately prepare myself!!! Can't wait for this to air though!

Oh man. I feel really bad for the filming crew & actors who put all those long hours in.

All these years after watching - even though it's a great drama overall - I mostly think about when Hakyeon (VIXX N) "accidentally" spilled his milk on a mean girl lol.

OMG! I didn't know by the description kind of burying his role. This is so exciting <3

They are debuting as actors and bringing the whole squad! I love them.

Based on the description I had no idea he was the second lead?! So excited for him to shine :) And I heard Jongho is funny role? I'm happy for anything!

They're making their acting debut as a whole squad!

Wow I'm excited to see this! (Especially for ATEEZ)
