NICE STORY AND SUPER NICE ACTING
I am surprised to find so many negative reviews of shocked people who are part of this BL world... It's like listening to religious fundamentalists ... Stepbrothers have nothing to do with their parents love life. One day, they move with their Mom/Dad to their step-dad/mom. They have nothing to do with this new step-family. There are no common genes ... so what's the fuss about that??? Obviously this is a new theme in the BL dramas (the wonderful Addicted, the so-so Brothers, etc ...). If I had been Fu Yong Jie I would have been at Ye Xing Si's feet. He is so damn cute!All he actors are handsome and good, especially Charles Tu (Xiao Li Cheng): he is so lively, so funny and SO charming...
I have still some episodes to watch but so far this series is excellent.

SO SO BAD ... you want to cry
OMG, GagaOOlala, don't do that anymore ... This BL drama was so dumb, so vulgar, I think we've reached the bottom of the genre... In fact, it's a porn movie scenario without the sex part: a little gigolo, not even handsome, chubby, with two false teeth on his front, coming from 'a broken family, responds to the ad of a gay old man looking for a "servant" ... he is hired and of course, they have sex on the first day ... Arrives the son of the man, young and pretty cute, the man goes on a business trip and needless to say, the son and the servant sleep together the same evening and fall madly in love with each other 🙄... It's not a fairy tale but a nightmare. It's very badly played, it's ridiculous, it's so stupid you want to cry. We know that Pinoy BL/gay films are not subtle, but with this one, one can't do worse...What a disappointment Gaga! You have accustomed us to funny, subtle, sexy Japanese, Taiwanese or Thai series ...

Simply remarkable
Finally an intelligent series/drama! With a real story. With real dialogues. With an exceptional acting, Nam Yoon Su in particular. When he smiles, all of Seoul lights up. Love is the permanent quest but the extraordinary faithful friendship is there. And on the top of all these emotions, there is the humor. We laugh often. but never at the expense of certain characters like in Thai or Filipino series. There are no caricatures, just the real life of a young queer man in Seoul, Just the real life of a son facing his dying mother but still reluctant to accept the life of his only son. And the emotion that underlies the whole episode 7, the escapade with a passing lover, totally highjacked by the imperishable and joyful memory, in love with his story with his great love, Gyu Ho and their stay in this same city.Addictive and deep, brilliant, radiant and funny.
I will now read Sang Toung Park's novel and wait for the film to come out on American screens... It's hard to leave this character of Ko Yeong.
