hmmm idk what to think about the finale. everything was resolved rather quickly and i can't say i loved the screen time they spared on the newly-introduced couple. i wish they progressed the story of alex and RJ (we were all waiting!), but it is what it is.
my biggest beef with the show is the 'abusive dad' trope that they introduced in the second-to-last ep and lowkey swept under the rug in the finale. like what was the point? i wish they never introduced this. i wish the dad was just against it, rather than full-on abusive. i absolutely refuse to forgive him or accept this development. like oh, he beat the shit out of xun an? no prob as long as he accepts the boyfriend. wtf??
it was an overall good show - mature, great acting and not too predictable (they really avoided some of the more cliche tropes which i appreciated). however, some of the new story threads were a bit unnecessary and others were not handled well. maybe this just sets the scene for s2? hope so!
bruh a het wedding in the finale THE ENDING DANCE ALL THIS TIME WAS FOR THIS HET WEDDINGthey put the family pics…
it's very difficult to make a het wedding work as a finale to a BL show (although not an unpopular trope for some reason) and this one wasn't an exception - it was a bit out of place. considering they left us hanging with the already introduced side-couples that many fans loved, focusing on a newly-established het couple just wasn't it. i think we all wanted more screen time for alex and RJ instead.
not sure how to rate something that i know is objectively a masterpiece but caused me so much pain and frustration, as i relate to one of the characters on a personal level. idk, it feels like all the turmoil this drama caused me was not in a nice way, so i'll leave it unrated for now. i feel like what i'd rate it won't match what it should be rated.
How sad is it? Does it have a sad end?Please reply with a spoiler tag.
the last ep made me cry like a baby and i'm usually not a crier. i'd say it was a pretty tragic ending but the conclusion was filled with a lot of love and wrapped up nicely. i wish it had a happy ending.
i'm kind of annoyed they treated the driver who killed koichi so kindly... i know it was an accident but there is a reason why accidents that result in killing people are also punished. koichi was so young - these two could have had a lifetime together, it's so unfair. i didn't think the last ep will hit me so hard but boy, did i cry... every time i think that the outro is what they could have had, my heart breaks more and more. man, i'm really not meant for tragedy dramas, this one will haunt me for a long time.
Just finished the first episode and I did not like it at all. Boring, dragged on, the exposition was so unnatural…
i feel you - i dropped it at ep 3. i thought it was boring and way too insta-love-y for me. i didn't see what everyone saw in terms if chemistry or good acting if i need to be super honest. i really wish i enjoyed it.
this is a very mature and realistic BL, compared to many more and the loving, tender moments at the beginning of this ep were lovely but... WTF @ the rest? why did they have to traumatise the second MC as well? why even include such a complex issue in the ep just before the finale? why introduce a new couple in the preview that had literally 0 foreshadowing? make it make sense?
idk how a high school BL is turning out to be one of my favs but here we are - this is absolutely adorable, from the cast to the acting and the OST, it's all perfect!
omg, why is everyone so angry :D the miscommunication trope (although a bit annoying at times) is soooo common. we all know it's gonna get resolved anyway. i think this drama is cute - i kind of even like it more than the webtoon which dragged out the frustrating moments more. the cast here is pretty good which significantly increases the enjoyment. just not sure how they're gonna wrap it up in only 2 eps left...
