this drama is not just a bl, its so much more.

every character of this drama has some type of pain and trauma that P’Aof showed beautiful through each character one at a time.

saleng, (please leave there are spoilers ahead, youve been warned) both his parents pasted away. alankaipa are both heartbroken and lost someone very dear to them in different ways. jim lost his loved one/got cheated on. heart became deaf and his parents are ashamed of him. wen fell out of love. limings parents left him and the fighting with his uncle and the falling outs.

P’Aof directed this beautifully in every way possible.
the cinematography and colors in the whole drama tells a story you might not catch the first time, but you can still feel it.

the cool and warm tones. in hearts house and alan/wens apartment. you can feel the sadness and pain with the blueish cool tone colors and the warms tones around jims house, you always are on edge because of the reds and orange warm tone colors.

its not just about the fire needing to be rekindled, but when the waiter asked won said “no, we’re done here” when wen and alan were having dinner to settle things, meaning so many ways to so many people, which you can take it any way.

and the sticky-notes around hearts desk, showing that hes boxed in and isnt allowed out. thats his world. through those paper with words.

at the end of ep7 i completely forgot i was watching a bl, the pain the characters takes the viewers through can also be shared, where we can relate very well too.

How many of these cases are true stories?

Trigger Warnings
the ending of the last episode starts " one year later" with a new segment where a woman in the military ended her life from the hands of her male military workers who wronged her in everyway possible. as Kim Do Gi is seen entering a military base.

I remember a case from Rotten Mango Podcast covering Lee Yeram where her coworkers on the military base abusing her and r wording after work. she reported it but officials ignored her claims since the coworkers who violated her were above her and after all that she sadly ended her life. I'm not sure if this case will be in season 3 but i would love to see more cases in this show be true stories.

the first case I remember that was true was the u-data(wedisk) episode in season one, Rotten Mango podcast also covered that case! the story matched up pretty well seeing most of it but after hearing the podcast that covered it a lot was changed as well.

the third one I remember was the BlackSun cast (Burning Sun) we know it was a club in the heart of Seoul that had Trafficking, Drugs, and many illegal things that also involved many Korean pop idols(only showed one in the show), the list goes on. I'm sure many people have heard before if you're big into K-pop. it was interesting seeing the case as a whole was a real story but implemented their own story line as well.

as a whole, I wonder how many are real cases and what aspects of it were real and what just was there to fit the storyline. I'm sure many don't know about these real cases in the show and it makes it a lot more interesting seeing the cases they do that are real and what's going to be in the third season.

what are your thoughts on these real cases that is implemented in the show and how do you feel about them?

very realistic

i loved this drama a lot. it shows everything in a teenage love story, like crushing over then in secret, cheesy love song, writing in the notebook about feelings, snapping pictures. you can tell best is so head over heels like all of us were in middle/high school at times! they dont hang out often but you can see a very strong connection and feelings popping out of the screen and it really captures you in all the good places. just enough to make you cry at the saddening parts. best friends hyping him up and ultimately taking care of a sad best when he couldnt tell dew his feelings. it really grabs all your attention and gives us that connection to the viewers feelings because weve been in bests shoes before somewhat. when best wrote “กูชอ…” (i li…) then seeings ferns confession absolutely broke my heart! and dont get me started on fern!!! that honestly angers me a lot how she betrayed dew like “if i cant have you no one can” .. i wanted to reach through the screen and fight her 555555 but anyways this is a very beautiful realistic story that also gives the viewers a connection to both the characters. i honestly wish it was a lot longer!

The shock factor was there!!!!

i wanted to watch something small and happy before i went to bed and it was on my watch list so i did that. right off the bat i felt the worst feeling in my gut. i connected the dots why the main character was narrating from the future so immediately i thoughht things were gonna get bad, i didnt read the description because its what i dont do often, but i cried 90% of it and the main i felt for shin is a pain i can not describe anything ever. the actors did amazing and i truly want to give both the actor shin (james) the biggest warming hug ever because he deserves it. the shock factor was there, it was all there. you never really see any dramas or shows in general showcase mental illness like depression, self harm, and so on. i indeed was right feeling the gut grenching bad feelings from the start but i did not know it was going to be this bad. i can tell most of the time or infer what may happen but oh my god. i just had to express my feelings on here about it. the ending absolutely broke me (again!) and i love when dramas end right where you have to fill all the gaps by yourself but this one. it felt, i honestly dont know how to describe. im just putting words together and such because its almost 4am but i just need to talk about this.
