People in this comment section complaining about the season finale proves exactly what is wrong with the "bl" genre in general. "They could have at least given us" "the least they could have done for us" "they gave us nothing" -- who's us? Who are you to demand anything when the it's so obvious that the way you engage with the media you consume is shallow at best and fetishizing at worst? People in here acting like the only way queer relationships can be portrayed is if it satisfies fangirls who want to see guys kiss and that's it. Like the only bounds this genre can exist within without excessive criticism is if it follows the expectations of those who watch mlm content solely because they want to sexualize them. Like the way this show has engaged so mindfully with issues like family, friendship, communication and internalized homophobia is not worthy in and of itself if there's not "enough" fan service. So disgusted with most of this community.

Oh true! Forgot about Love for love's sake. The only kbl that I've really liked in the past year. The ending was a bit rushed and there were some plot holes, but loved it overall.

It's a little bit cheesy, but I actually loved the reveal that Jack has actually been putting up a front and has been secretly paying off his debtors' debts. The "circumstances made him turn bad" trope is overused imo and rarely ever executed well or even explained, so this was quite refreshing. And I know a lot of people are complaining about how unrealistic some things are, especially with the action scenes, but... does it really matter lmao come on, it's not meant to be realistic at all. This is one of those dramas that is so much more enjoyable if you stop caring/complaining about these aspects of it.

Blueming is one of my top 3 BLs of all time, I still think about the beach scene on like a weekly basis lol. So if this is anything like that (same director, right?), I'm going to be so freaking happyyyyyy. No kbl has really delivered for me since The Eighth Sense so !!!! here's to hoping

I find myself looking forward to this one the most out of all the ongoing dramas I'm currently following. This is a light drama that manages to be refreshing, funny, sweet and deep at the same time. I've seen some people mention that Kim Youngdae's acting is stiff at times, but I don't find this to be the case at all. I think he's quite consistent with the way he portrays Jiuk, who is a stiff person in general. I can see how some of his facial expressions could seem unnatural, but I genuinely know people who react to things like that, lol. Imo, the way he brings the character to life is great.

Ohh I'll definitely check that one out then, thanks :)

Loved Baek Sungchul in Once Upon a Small Town and I've been waiting for him to get another bigger role so I'm super stoked for this, even if I wish he'd finally get ML in a drama.

I'm on episode 5 and this drama is giving me MAJOR second lead syndrome. Haven't experienced something this severe since True Beauty. My heart already hurts for him. Sigh
