Everytime those food shots come, I have a meeting with my fridge next =_=. The dessert ones were deadly =_=

How can you tell it is admiration ?
PS : so those stares are not really blank then if you say it feels like admiration ?

What has no meaning ? The stares ? But if they are attracted to each other ? They like to look at each other, no ?

You speak not a long time ago about the stares....so...?????

It can happen in real life ? People flirting right away and feeling strong attraction ? Sorry but I still don't understand what is really bothering you. It's like you've never felt love at first sight or a strong attraction with someone you've just met. It can happen. If you've never felt like that, well, I understand why you feel like this is not possible already at the beginning. But really it is possible.

They are more than good looking since they are good actors too...Well the problem comes from you then (as you say : you feel detached). As for story depth, well it is another matter. I think it is too soon since we have 12 episodes. It has barely started. But I really don't understand your remark about those stares since it seems quite obvious for me. They are anything but blank ? Oh well, this is just not your series then.

"They're just staring at each other for a long time.. It has no meaning. what's the point ?"
to flirt maybe ? and because they are mesmerized with each other I think...and they don't know what to do with the "information" while enjoying the ride...

I feel the same thing with the secondary couple (and their not very good acting doesn't help too). Fortunately I love too much the main couple, so I will ignore the second one lol

Yes, people are weird. Sometimes you don't understand why they judge harshly one series and are really magnanimous with another one which is not really I would say a masterpiece. I don't know. it's like some series personally offend them on a subconscious level lol

I'm not sure because in the novel, it was clearly not admiration since the beginning but strong attraction. He's really flirting with him.

The stares ! The damn stares ! Great chemistry (and tension) between the main couple ! What a lovely series !
PS : for those who think it is too slow and boring, better stop watching now. This is slice of life kind of series so it won't be as fast as you want it too be. It just means you don't like the genre, I think.

Great episode 2 ! The acting scene at the end was heartbreaking and so well-acted ! I like the fact that the food shots are not for nothing, but linked to the feelings of the characters (frustration, passion etc.) and the progression of the story (the usual work routine, the childhood memory, the "conflict" etc.) ...so no, it is not only "food porn" (well...)lol There is a meaning behind all of this (except for those annoying ads you find in Thai BL unfortunately).

I like a lot the first episode, very beautiful and with a contemplative feel ! It's nice and relaxing. The only thing I don't like is that I'll need a padlock on my fridge now lol

Thank you for the rec. I have watched it some time ago and I never finish it though. I quite like it but I don't know why I stop watching it at one point. Maybe one day. But I've heard the covid situation make the series feels rushed at the end ?

Thank you for the rec but I've already tried Light on me. Daon character and struggle was interesting but the main couple doesn't grab my interest that much so I drop it. But it is nice that we have now longer BL kdrama.

Looks interesting !

I wish I have another BL series like this I can watch nowadays. unfortunately, none are really grabbing my attention like this one -sigh- I hope one day we'll have another series like this, of this quality.

In fact by clues I was more talking about clues about why he was mean to him in the beginning (and thus having his point of view for this). And yes, it's not hard to see that he has a crush on him.

You're wrong because I've been there though. I won't talk much about it since this is my personal life but I've never acted like Shin Woo. And I say this is a trope because you find this in a lot of kdrama and jdrama too (the tsundere trend...). You just have to look into it. I have nothing against tropes and I quite like them if they are done well : they have to make sense in the plot, otherwise the story can lose its credibility.
However I've found one explanation given by one user and it makes a lot more sense now. So I understand now a little better his character.

Yes but I hope they will show a little more Shinwoo's point of view but especially why he was acting like this at the beginning, etc. Not necessarily saying everything but giving a little more clues.
