Absolutely morally bankrupt.

Lol, something to look forward to. Yeah, strangely, I think this might be the singular Chinese BL that isn't a walking parade of red and black flags.

It's all about what you're into. Sounds like you're more into the sort of toxic red flag vibes, which is a totally valid taste, but if that's what you're into, then this isn't going to scratch the itch for you. This one is definitely more slow paced. It kind of has more of that European indie film vibe than a traditional BL vibe. If you go into it with that kind of perspective you might enjoy it, but if you're waiting for some kind of explosive melodrama, I don't think you're going to find what you're looking for.

I went into this one with an open mind. I absolutely adored Bas in 4minutes and the premise was intriguing. But I'll admit, there's something about the tonal whiplash of this show that I can't get into. Maybe I'll wait for all the episodes to come out and then do a binge.

I'm going to need to make at least ten fan videos to process my feelings about what happens to Way.

You know things are getting bad when you can find the plot threads of Playboyy easier to follow than you can with this show.

Agreed. It's always best not to feed the trolls.

I just thought I'd pop in and say everyone on this series is a ridiculous level of attractive.

How the hell am I suppose to root for or against anyone when they have the evil minions out here looking so fine, the evil racers out here looking so fine, the shady best friends out here looking so fine and the protagonists out here looking so fine?

At this point, it doesn't even matter who's on my screen. I'm winning.

That is all,
Have a nice day.

I kind of agree. I actually think Pooh is good at playing cute, but the second he toggles back into his "real" personality I just don't buy it.

I'm interested in how the show is going to change those dynamics, because there's no way all of that will make it into the show. But if all that is the truth, than there's even less of a justification for the lack of chemistry.

I'm most interested in Way & Pete. The dynamic between Nut and Ping during Boys Journey was so adorable and I'm dying to see how that translates onscreen.

I would agree, except they are already showing signs that Babe is supposed to be developing romantic feelings for Charlie. Like the scene when he let him kiss him on the lips when he said before that this was off limits. Or the fact that he was so jealous over Charlie and Jeff talking. I feel like the show wants us to feel like they're starting to fall for each other- or at the very least that Babe is starting to fall for Charlie, but I'm just not seeing that chemistry yet. It's only episode two, things may develop as the story changes. But right now, it's just not there for me.

I just think back to that pilot trailer and think that there's an alternate reality of this show where the leads would've been Pavel and Nut. I find myself wondering if I would have enjoyed that coupling better. No offense to Pooh, I don't really think it's his fault but he's just not selling the character of Charlie for me. He can pull off the I'm so cute and innocent part, but the minute he has to be more intense, I just don't buy it. Pooh's young and I just think he doesn't have enough experience to pull off this role. I'm still into the show. Just not really feeling the main couple, sadly.

16 episodes altogether.

It's on Youtube. It has English subs and everything.

Boys' Journey was a variety series featuring the cast of Pit Babe prior to it airing, sort of as a get to know the cast sort of thing. It was on that show that the cast found out which parts they were going to play. After getting to know the whole cast through that series, I've become way too emotionally invested in this series. I may need psychological help, no lie.

I think with this show in particular the mistake I made is that I watched Boys' Journey first. That show made me way too attached to all twelve actors on this show. I guess I'm finding shifting from an ensemble variety show to the actual show which is mostly just about the main couple to be surprisingly jarring to me for some reason.

For me it depends on how it's written. A show like Between Us for example, I felt like the side couples were an unnecessary hindrance. But a show like Only Friends managed to balance 3 couples without anyone feeling like they were getting the short end of the stick. Same thing for KinnPorsche. I think if all of the couples are interwoven into the plot seamlessly, it won't feel like anyone is taking up unnecessary space.

I kind of wish this show was more of an ensemble. I like the whole cast, but right now I have the feeling that this is going to be one of those shows where the main couple take up most of the show space. I get it, and that's how the original is probably written. My fundamental problem with this is that I am invested in the show, and in the cast, but I am not really invested in the main couple as of right now. I hope the show manages to give everyone decent screen time.

This show is working to cure me of my irrational love for every HIStory production.
