I only know that Seungho is born in 2006.

Loved the first 2 eps! they all seem to get along great and have fun, which is nice.

I gotta admit, I don't get the side couple. First they disliked each other (for basically no reason), then they kissed each other (while one of them was super drunk btw, not a fan of that), and now they're acting like they have feeling for each other even though they barely know each other??

"(b) because one of the actors is an idol, there will be no intimacy or kiss between the actors" That only applies to new idols though, Taecyeon debuted in 2008, is barely active as an idol and even got married this year, it would be very normal for him to have a kissing scene in a tv-show.

i appreciate the long explanation, thanks! i might give it a chance soon and see for myself.

okay, thanks for your reply!

I'm considering starting this, but can anyone tell me about the romance so far? Because I'm worried I'm gonna think the romance is too fast/insta love, since I saw a gif on tumblr of Wayu already giggling and kicking his feet over Krit in ep 1 or 2, so I was like "aren't they moving a bit fast..." (I prefer slowburn). But maybe it's just attraction/infatuation so far in the show? which is fine.

How about you learn about media in other cultures instead of complaining and forcing your Western lens on other cultures. Plenty of romance shows in Japan, whether gay or straight, don't have any kissing scenes, and that doesn't make them any less romantic. Weird of you to think that people can only tell a queer story if it includes physicality, like what about gay asexuals for example? How ignorant that just because someone who is in love/a couple doesn't behave the way you see as normal, then suddenly that's wrong. Also, it's not a movie, it's a series.

That was the initial vibe I got but the synopsis calls it a romance.

Silent, The Way of the Househusband, Umi no Hajimari, to mention a few. Also, why are you making so many assumptions only based on a trailer? Why would they spoil a kiss scene in a trailer?

What a weird and harmful take. What about gay asexuals? Gay people who are sex repulsed? Are they suddenly not queer anymore?

It happens often in hetero series in Japan. Maybe learn about other cultures instead of only looking at the world through a Western lens.

The official synopsis under the trailer on Youtube literally says it's a romance between two men.

The official synopsis says it's a romance between two men. Idk how much clearer they can get.

Idk where you're getting that from when the official synopsis literally says it's a romance between two men.

the synopsis calls it a romance between two men.

many people do call this one a BL though? but the reason why it's not called that by the production/Netflix is probably just because they don't want it to be put in a box, they probably want people to go into it with an open mind, maybe even having the love story aspect be a surprise to some people, which I think is kinda cool. There are also some people who think the BL label can only be used for romance shows centered on the romance, whereas I feel like this one is more about their individual lives and struggles as well, so maybe by calling it a BL, people would go into it with wrong expectations. I agree though, that way too many BL fans care too much about kissing and sex scenes.

In the dating show, Love (X), they all had to reveal their sexuality in the 2nd last episode.

Junsu? He is, but what does his sexuality have to do with him acting in a BL?

Is it stated how old he is/what year he's in?
