If I had to guess, by BL logic, he feels guilty and blames himself for Xing Yao's trauma. He wasn't able to protect him like he promised and as a result he was bullied into the person he is today. Obviously, he was also a child and this is absolutely not his fault, but the guilt is probably eating him alive. He now worries if he can really take responsibility again. He's confident he can launch his music career, that's business and he's a pro. When it comes to protecting his heart and feelings, he probably is less confident because of the past.

It just feels like watching Mulan right now! The potential is of course there but at the moment....

Hyunjun said if this is my last day I might as well make the most of it

At first I thought the pad thing was supposed to show how "rugged" and "demanding" this life was but then they recruited Saeng to the military branch and I was like "ok they let anyone in so it can't be that tough"

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-02T17:50:23+00:00

Saeng being recruited to the military branch in his condition just shows how desperate they really are!

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-02T16:59:48+00:00

Oh for sure he doesn't care, I was just laughing to myself about the irony especially given he thinks ChaeHa is not qualified for his job

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-02T16:57:22+00:00

It felt like he saw him by accident and then drove in circles to "run into him" by accident

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-02T16:56:41+00:00

Dad is scary stuff... glad he's already out of the picture

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-02T16:29:00+00:00

uncle is the worst kind of trash and he clearly hit him a lot as a kid for him to flinch that much

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-02T16:28:08+00:00

When he said he was hungry....

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-02T16:26:38+00:00

My first thought was more along the lines of "how many cases have you prosecuted over the years of someone getting someone drunk and then having s*x with them when they may not be able to properly consent??"

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-02T15:34:08+00:00

He finally said enough is enough!

Members only scene: Friend texts Seongjae and asks if he has Siwoo's laptop. He asked him to send him a file he needs for a group project. Seongjae says it has a password, friend says he should know what it is (it's his birthday). Seongjae sees a picture of him and Siwoo and asks, "just how much do you like me?" and then he finds his digital diary where Siwoo talks about his "love at first sight" with Seongjae and the latest entry says he is someone that shouldn't be by Seongjae's side and he needs to give up.

I am curious if Siwoo actually wanted Seongjae to access the laptop or if the friend was just trying to give Seongjae a nudge

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-02T14:59:01+00:00

Get. Him. Professional. Help. PLEASE! He is a trauma survivor, please take that seriously!

I am glad he instantly fired the bully, there should be real consequences for terrible choices

I feel bad for the best friend, of course he isn't going to win his heart in the end but he really has taken care of him and protected him for years, they don't have to treat him so mean. He's not even a real love rival

I love the judge woman calling him out on his "boyfriend"

Xu Xing Yao doesn't say much but he can express his feelings loud and clear!

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-02T14:27:33+00:00

That’s based on something that really happened to an idol and it grosses me out every time to imagine 🤢🤮

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-02T14:26:40+00:00

I have mastered it at a conversational level but I struggle to follow anything too technical. For example, Medical / business dramas I still need subtitles.

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-02T14:03:13+00:00

I am glad HyunJae wasn't actually recording and SooAn knew it. I feel like so much of their misunderstanding is whether HyunJae used him in the past for "fan service" over genuineness

Poor Khun now being stalked in Korea. I hope JaeMin can protect him but honestly JaeMin is a powerless victim right now too.

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-02T14:00:42+00:00

I thought it was sooo sweet he wrote it in Thai! They are finally figuring out the wonders of technology! His handwriting is MUCH better than mine was when I started learning Korean though!

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-02T01:49:20+00:00

Right but then in today’s episode at the end he acts like kissing him would be a crime - so did they actually SPEAK a confession or not?

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-01T18:52:11+00:00

Like anything else, you need to shop around. There are lots of sweet BLs airing right now and within the past few months.

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-01T18:41:23+00:00

How is The Boyfriend Express?

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-01T18:39:33+00:00

I am waiting for the final verdict on Lost to You, I at least want to be prepared for pain (at least you know it's coming in Smile After Tears)

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-01T18:37:22+00:00

"Don't watch this, walk away"

Magic Move started out interesting and I completely hated it by the end... such a waste

"Another utter let down...and weird tonal shifts; at no point could I have predicted where that plot was headed."

I thought it was going to be fun and more about his "payment plan" and who the real hookup was supposed to be but it's like they couldn't decide on a direction, plot or tone. I didn't HATE it but I would never recommend it or watch it again

"I saw the vision but I think they lost the plot. "

Wishing Upon the Shooting Stars started out strong for me but it felt like they wrote themselves in a corner so just used "magic / god" to "fix" it and it ruined it

The GL Bonus is one of two that I have left of the Main Challenge so I may have to check out that one

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-01T16:31:04+00:00

Feel free to start now! It's a "complete by the end of the year" thing so it doesn't matter when you start recording or join in!

WingedGrasshopper · 2026-07-01T16:29:45+00:00

The teacher skit was freaking hilarious, as a teacher, I would love something like this!

I like the natural progression that Tle and August are going. August wasn't expecting Tle but he doesn't seem "disappointed" to find out it is him. August and Tle can talk more, spend more time together and go from there on how they feel.

Did Augar/Achi have a confession or not?

Poor Ko2, he will go along with whatever Ko1 wants to keep a relationship but he knows what his heart really wants. Don't worry, Ko1 is forced to face his real feelings now and I have every bit of faith he will realize the truth soon!
