not sure but this happens to all korean BL's so there has to be a reason for it. Blueming has a 8.1 / To My Star has a 8.1 as well.. and I do agree that MSP and Moonlight Chicken deserve high ratings over 8.0 but I do think thai BL fans are more rabid than KBL fans the fan service industry in both countries are miles apart so the dedicated fanbase would clearly have more power to push the thai shows ahead of MDL

viki ratings are ridiculously high because most of the people on there are general consumers and not rabid fans... so I think they more rate series between a 8 to 10... most low rated series would have a 8 rating and the good ones will have 9.5 and over. I've never seen one with a 9.9 though.. but yes... MDL ratings are very important for fan clubs especially those with active ships and big fanbases like fourthgemini and earthmix.. there fans have discords and private telegram groups where they spam vote and do a lot of stuff... it's part of the gmmtv mold so it's not surprising.

yes there are two directors.. one german and one korean

The Eight Sense has a 9.9 rating on IMDB and a 9.9 rating on Viki. really happy to see the international audience giving this critical acclaim.

This having a 9.9 rating on VIKI but a 8.1 on here says all we need to know about the toxic thai fans who like to downvote korean BL's to give ''thailand '' on top... our dating sim has a 8.1. shoulder to cry on has a 7.8 but my school president has a 8.6 and moonlight chicken has a 8.4 lol

oh I agree... I do think thai BL FANS spam dislike to keep korean shows low... but thank God MDL isn't respected for ratings.. because how could moonlight chicken has a 8.4 but this have a 8.1 ? my school president has a 8.6. it makes no sense. it has a 9.9 rating on viki though.. don't think I ever saw a BL that high on viki

I would say the major part of why this is shining so much is because there is European input rather than a solely korean director. There are heavy european elements in this show that pulls references from shows like Skam and Skins. the intricacies of European filmmaking is quite evident in this show.

would we say the quality is better because there is european input rather than a korean director alone ? the intricacies of european filmmaking is quite evident in this show.

for WORRIED FANS : there was indeed a movie released only in Korea but those who watched the movie has confirmed there is a happy ending.... the only way the drama could not be a happy ending is if they filmed alternate ending scenes after the movie.. which doesn't make much sense.. but we shall see I guess. those who watched the movie already confirmed he almost drowned and went to the ICU and recovered in the end and they ended up together after. his trauma was from his brother who I think died from drowning and he reminds him a lot of his brother. not sure how u can switch that to a sad ending unless u end the show with the drowning and never show him recovering lol

he literally just dropped this to cause chaos and then disappeared even though he has commented on other post after this lol... and he is right that there was indeed a movie released only in Korea but those who watched the movie has confirmed there is a happy ending.... the only way to drama could not be a happy ending is if they filmed alternate ending scenes after the movie.. which doesn't make much sense.. but we shall see I guess. those who watched the movie already confirmed he almost drowned and went to the ICU and recovered in the end and they ended up together after. his trauma was from his brother who I think died from drowning and he reminds him a lot of his brother. not sure how u can switch that to a sad ending unless u end the show with the drowning and never show him recovering lol

the latter half of episode 3 was STELLAR.. exceptional... barely any dialogue.. just longing stares that truly needed no words and we understood everything that was happening.

how are these actors ACTING without even speaking...they don't even need dialogue and it's so powerful between them.

the acting.. the cinematography. the subtle looks and glances that says it all without even having to speak.. I've not been captivated like this in such a long time.

ok I'm about to watch the first two episodes yet again in preparation for today's two episodes.

you had enough patience to write this essay.. are you triggered ? only one person in this convo is calling people ignorant :) and I guess that's the wise person :)

because I can be concerned.. freedom of speech is a beautiful thing and seeing people try to stifle free speech is also interesting as well. :) be blessed on your spiritual journey.

thank you for this. I can feel at peace now.. the plot sounds amazing

This is ACTING.. this is CINEMATOGRAPHY. this is chemistry without PUSHING it in our face.. it's subtle. it's unspoken. I grew up watching shows like skam and skins and despite me loving the fluff of Thai BL's... I love gritty lgbtq stories and I believe shows like this will open the door and kick it wide open for more asian countries to do more lgbtq esque shows like this and what 180 degree longitude did a while ago as well.

People that have watched the movie version, which this series is based on, have confirmed the movie version has a happy ending. this is what people on reddit have been saying... hopefully it's true

Lue stalking Ken is not sexy in the slightest.. it's bordering on creepy and odd.. and especially the way he is dressed to ''walk the streets'' in a full on dress suit and gloves is so confusing to me
