i think i would rate it higher if it was what i was signing up for. but this is not a romance, this is a drama slice of life with romantic subplots. and because of those misplaced expectations i felt it grew very very tedious. i did like the characters, but the main character was dragged against his will tward some character development and it was so darn tedious.


its a high quality ensemble drama. its not a very good bl romance.

if august has no haters, im dead

good thing Wayne Song is giving it his all because Yu Xigu’s actor is a very weak actor.

i avoid tragedy endings like the plague but this comment made me watch this. the on1ly one has no ending and still i couldn’t stop thinking about the way their love for eachother was tangible and swoonier than any sex-forward bl ive seen thus far. i want to find more depictions of love like that so you sold this to me!

does this have a conclusive ending?

i think the on1y one opened me up to being sympathetic about step siblings in love(it was my first with that dynamic) but this, THIS is all the way wrong. i guess theres a reason i see people memeing about and dreading this trope. it seems done horribly 99% of the time.

im in it for the main couple now.

i gave this a 9.5 cos we get an open ending, BUT I CANT GET OVER IT. nothing will ever compare to the way these two love eachother.

so … 10/10

and i totally still believe if that was their first kiss instead of the rape scene, you couldnve had almost all scenes after and instead of a laughable and insulting portrayal of post rape suffering you could’ve had porsche staying up all night and everything after because he was kissed without consent and discovered he has some feelings for a man he thought he hated. because yeah, thats how “seriously” it was taken, not rape serious.

ok we have different opinions, but i doubt even you would call this a good portrayal of rape(and all it entails). its not good for the story, its not good in the messages that get imparted to viewers.

good but very underdeveloped

this is simply adorable, the cover image represents it perfectly

after finishing s1 and reading the synopsis here, im out. I struggled with teh the first time, but i cannot stand love triangle plots where the person is genuinely swayed. its a pet peeve.

i hope someone can help me if i have the wrong idea or something.

its getting hard to root for teh

man i feel so bad for oh throughout most of this

i think it was handled in the same way as if only a kiss without consent had happened.

not watching season 2 cos the plot is open ended and unfinished

i liked everything that was there, but it wasn’t enough of any of it.

this would have been fantastic if Hae Won wasnt treated like just an object to be liked by the narrative. as is, its cute

this is cute BUT whyyyyy does it entirely forgoe transitional scenes??? the teleportation happening here is so disorienting

this would be a great series for anyone able to amputate that grape scene from their minds. but its quite reprehensible to include it and then use it in such a way. you could literally make an edit where you cut it out and nothing would be affected. this is sending horrible messages about it, about victims, about perpetrators… sigh what a fuck up
