looks really good! looking forward to it

i am really hoping it does not go down the route alot of Korean Dramas go and basically just queerbait the whole thing but then its a small company and the episodes are 10 minutes long, so i hold out hope

That's why I put "interested" instead of excited. I am hopeful it will be good.

I hope this starts off a BL trend in Korea so we aren't basically limited to BL shows from Thailand (and sometimes Taiwan)

[antistatic]

Watched the first two episodes and have to say I'm liking this a lot already. The set-up is good and the chemistry between the two main guys is tangible. I'm really feeling the undercurrent of sexual tension between them.




Small shout-out to the mother of the girl who has taken a fancy to one of the lads, and is low key trying to put her daughter off because she is already quietly shipping the two boys together herself.

It's a shame this didn't get fleshed out into more substantial series because like the Tiawan BL's it has a more gritty feel to it than the Thai shows.

I really enjoyed them to - though they are too short.

[dmagiclight]

i wish the episodes were full episodes

[cybersparky]

me too i watched the first 2 and they really could have done with being longer.

[jblaze018]

I finally watched this and I agree with everyone else. They should've been longer but at least we got this considering where it's coming from.

Apparently this has already been shown as a one off TV movie in Korea and has only been sliced into minisodes as part of the online streaming agreement with Rakuten Viki.

that would make alot of sense tbh, and here i was expecting a breakthrough in Korean TV shows oh well.

so trawling through the comments on mydramalist i found this article which may explain somethings if is in fact a true article, its in japanese but google translates it to just about understandable, its an interview with the producers

Piggybacking off this article I hope more Korean BL's make their way onto our screens.

Episodes 3 and 4 have been released on Viki TV with English Subtitles.

[mikacs]

Are all of you watching on Viki TV? I could only watch episode 1 :/

edit: nevermind, google helped me lol

[cybersparky]

i have viki pass, so that might be the thing, if i remember you can episodes earlier than others with the pass

Well that ended well - hopefully they come up with a second series. Both looked quite handsome at the end by the river - especially Gookie!

[cybersparky]

OMG IT ENDED WELL!!!! I am shook, i didn't think they had it in them, hopefully it will bode well for full length, full series BL to come out of Korea now or at least them to actually include characters and story lines in the normal series without them being bromances!

[jblaze018]

I was genuinely surprised. I'm so used to it ending with a character death or heartbreak that I just didn't expect a kiss to end the series. Hopefully, they see the popularity of this and start working on other BL series out of Korea.

Interview with the guys:

haven't had a chance to watch it yet - so no idea if there are spoilers or a season 2 announcement.

Edited to add - no season 2 announcement

[cybersparky]

hopefully it will be slightly longer episodes this time round

BLDramaGalore posted a picture of the cast from Mr. Heart and some light spoilers/speculation:

Here is the cast for this series ! The two mains will be played by Lee Se Jin (24) who has appeared as a trainee on Produce X 101 and Cheon Seung Ho (23) who is a rapper in the boy group The Man BLK, he also guest starred in Where your eyes linger as one of Pil Hyun’s friend. The girl at their side is Lara from the girl group Dreamnote who will also appear in the show.

As for story, it seems to be centered around sports as the two main characters will be marathon runners.

Since the show has not even been filmed yet - I decided to not make a separate thread for it, but will do so once it is further along.

I like that they are using idols that are in groups and what not. It helps to give their respective groups exposure. I did a quick search on them and if they weren't big before they will be if this BL is a success. I know my fair share of idol groups and I never heard of The Man BLK or Dreamnote( I thought was a typo at first cause I initially was like I know Dreamcatcher but not Dreamnote). I wonder if they will just go off the Produce X 101 roster for any future BL series?

I think BLDramagalore posted that Man BLK sang one of the sound track songs for Where your Eyes Linger, I think this one:
