6 hours ago the drama had an Imdb rating of 9.1... Some people probably didn't think it was that great and rated…
Let’s be upfront: assigning a drama a rating of 1 is a pretty extreme move, and it requires a well-founded and comprehensive critique to back it up. A 1 is the lowest possible score, so you need to clearly explain why you believe the show has absolutely no redeeming qualities. I haven’t come across any reviews that convincingly justify giving this show such a low rating.
Common criticisms like “the actors are too old” or “the actors are unattractive” are highly subjective and don’t provide a solid basis for a 1. These personal opinions might influence your rating, but they don’t necessarily reflect the overall quality of the show. And also, saying “it’s too different from the book” is another weak point. Adaptations often need to make changes to fit different formats or creative visions. I’ve read the book myself and, aside from a few modifications, the show remains quite faithful to the original story. Expecting an adaptation to match every detail point-for-point is unrealistic.
I have so much I want to say, but my mind feels so scattered that I'm worried I'll end up confusing things and…
How could I ever forget? Your comments always made my day, hehe. But I’m glad you still remember my love for Bible, lmao. They’re still around, just lurking and hiding on discord instead of commenting now.
Bible said he doesn’t like the ending, and Jes said he loves it—I honestly don’t know who to trust,CRIES.

Haha, I love how you totally get that I'm all about Bible! As for the characters, I really love Tyme and Great, but I'm also a huge fan of Tonkla and Korn. I just can't stand Win, though—he annoys me so bad.
It’s so good, though! I’m honestly so sad it only has 8 episodes.

Tell me both—the actors and the characters, hehe.
And oh my gosh, the way the show shifts between timelines is absolutely crazy and incredibly captivating. The attention to detail is so impressive; it really struck a chord with me when I watched ep 6
I am in the middle of episode 5 but I had to stop to organize my thoughts.So for the ones who are already way…
I have so much I want to say, but my mind feels so scattered that I'm worried I'll end up confusing things and spoil you. So, I'll hold off until you reach episode 7, haha. I do agree that the actors are doing an amazing job. Who are your favorites so far?
can someone who have read the novel spoil me the rest of the plot please?

When they finally reunite, they stand up for themselves and assert their right to live their own lives. This time, they face the future together with a happy ending.
You can read the novel here, this is not mtl and it is accurate.
Ohm is seriously reminding us why he’s crowned the BL King—this man can generate chemistry with literally anyone on screen. I wasn’t really worried about it, but this episode just wiped away any lingering doubts. The way he connects with Leng is absolutely magnetic, you can feel the chemistry radiating off of them. It’s not forced or awkward—it’s natural, and it draws you in effortlessly.
Now, Leng. For someone who’s essentially stepping into the spotlight for the first time, he completely holds his own. You’d think with Ohm’s presence, he might lean on him for support, but no Leng stands tall and proves he belongs here. His performance felt powerful, like he has this natural presence that commands attention. Sure, there were moments where I cringed, like when he was shouting “let go” repeatedly. But that honestly felt like more of a hiccup in the writing or editing rather than a reflection of his talent. In fact, despite those moments, he shines through with his intense, piercing gazes that leave such a strong impression. There’s a depth to his acting that makes you stop and take notice. He’s clearly got a lot of raw talent, and I’m excited to see how he evolves throughout the series.
What really caught my attention in this episode, though, was the scene with Q at the mall. It might seem simple on the surface, but it says so much about who he is. You can sense he’s avoiding something—probably home, probably loneliness—but there’s more than that. I get the feeling he might be an only child and he’s grown so used to being by himself that it’s second nature now. He’s lonely, sure, but it’s more complex than just physical isolation. There’s this emotional distance in him, like he’s spent years keeping people at arm’s length, and I’m so intrigued to see how this will play out as the story unfolds. His character feels layered, and I’m drawn to finding out what’s beneath that surface.
This episode had its moments of brilliance. Yes, there were small flaws, but nothing major that took away from the overall experience. The dynamic between Ohm and Leng is already captivating, and I can’t wait to see how it deepens. The writing has potential, and with these performances, I’m definitely invested. This is a show worth watching, and I’m excited to see where it goes from here.
second season confirmed but they did not announce the airing period.
I’ve read the novel, and while it's not that long, it seems like they're stretching it by including every little detail from the book. I already know what cliffhanger they’ll likely use to end season 1, and trust me, it won’t be fun if we don’t get a season 2 after that. From what’s been said, the script for season 2 apparently includes 8 kisses and intimate scenes, which makes sense since most of the explicit stuff happens after that cliffhanger in the book. But if they stick to the novel, they’ll definitely kiss in season 1 as well.

It's not confirmed yet. I think people are getting confused because the director mentioned that the script for season 2 is ready, but they’ll only move forward with filming if season 1 gets enough fan engagement. If it doesn't connect well with the target audience, season 2 probably won’t happen.

This is childish from them.
