I'm not convinced Duang is autistic. In my opinion, Doung is simply an oddball. His behavior stems more from the childish treatment he receives from those around him, which is why he expresses himself in this way, and also from the fact that artists (which he is; he paints and draws) are often just oddballs. I know this from personal experience. LOL
To be honest, I'm both surprised and disappointed by Qinn's behavior. The guy arranges with Duang to be his romantic flirt, initiates a shared shower, provokes Duang with a conversation about their sexual preferences, and seemingly explains their role in the situation. But he can't send his former admirer to hell, so he drags things out, causing Duang pain. Seriously, what kind of behavior is this? Could Qinn have feelings for Tiw after all, and that's why he doesn't want to quickly and decisively end this situation? I really wonder why Duang didn't pack his things and go back to his place, giving Qinn time to think and decide what he really wants? I don't think Qinn is in love with Duang. I think he enjoys his adoration and presence more. No, I don't like this situation at all. I should point out that I haven't read the novella and don't know what will happen next or if this story even has a happy ending, but for now, I'm dissatisfied because I really dislike triangles in BL, and they're so often used to dramatize the plot. Duang didn't deserve it.
PS. The series is great and the actors too; they're incredibly well-matched in every way. Yay!
It started childishly and innocently, and now, with each episode, it's getting more and more passionate and intense. This is what love feels like. I can almost feel how much Duang adores and loves Qinn. He'd love to devour him whole, but respect and concern make him wait. The wait is worth it! ...because you could see and feel Qinn falling in love with Duang. But since Qinn is very reserved and distrustful, he needed time to open his heart and let Duang in. I think in the next episodes we'll find out why the series is rated 18+, because the ending of the last episode hints at it. I don't know if I'm right, since I haven't read the novel, but the hand that Qinn holds out at the end of the teaser for the next episode probably belongs to the "pink teddy bear," Qinn's former love. I'm very curious to see what happens next.
P.S. I absolutely must add that the main couple has incredible chemistry and immense acting talent. They're a perfect match, open, and have that special look in their eyes that tells the viewer everything is real and exactly as it should be. A fantastic series! I'm totally captivated by Duang and Qinn.
I love this couple, I love them, but somehow this series isn't what I thought it would be. Maybe it will pick up, but I was hoping for an adult series, meaning one not about high school students. We already had that with them. Now they're adults, and I was hoping for something more age-appropriate.
Let's put it this way: I like this little fishing village, the view of the sea and the sunrises and sunsets, the drone shots of the sea with its windmills, and the atmosphere there. It's all the nicer that, after years of learning Chinese, I occasionally pick up familiar words and understand the dialogue, but… but I could easily live without this series. I simply couldn't care less about it. I watch it for the scenery, not the plot. I really don't need to know if they end up together or if the actor You is an idiot. Yes, the actor You is very attractive, but as I said, I couldn't care less about him. Hmm?…
OMG, this series is not good! No, that's an understatement; in my personal opinion, this show is hopeless in every way! I understand that brothers care and worry about each other, but this brotherhood has gone too far; Teh's biggest concern in life is that Tod be happy, which I understand, but... Teh is Tod's younger brother, not the other way around! Tod is a sleepy, unconscious, characterless, anemic guy who could tranquilize an elephant, so I don't know what fun-loving Jimmy sees in him that made him fall so deeply in love that he drank all the beer from the local store and littered his apartment with cans.
Besides, there's Freeze, Fah, Jimmy's ex-lover; they all live Tod's life, with a break for sex in the bathtub. Even the NC scenes were boring and could have easily been omitted, but I understand; they were just there to get viewers to watch the show. Despite everything, I've seen every episode... LMAO!
Not all relationships are all touchy feely. If you want some fetishizy bl content you won’t find it here. Love…
Hello? It's not about any fetish, not at all, but about reality. The relationship shown in this series could just as easily be "just" a close friendship, and that would probably better explain the strange behavior of two men living together, sleeping in the same bed, in the prime of life and health.
After a fantastic first episode, unfortunately, it's gotten weaker with each episode. This series is a huge disappointment for me on every level; I thought Mark and Junior would be the main couple in this drama, and North and Yu would just be supporting characters, as is often the case with the second couple in other series. Unfortunately, from the second episode on, it became clear that the opposite was true, and North and Yu were the main characters.
Besides, you can see and feel that Mark and Junior are still a bit stiff, which disappointed me. I was so happy to get an adult BL couple, because lately everything seems to revolve around students.
Besides, North and Yu are completely unsuitable for each other, in my personal opinion; they have no chemistry at all, nothing, zero, nothing.
I know it's just a Japanese BL series, so don't expect too much, but...is this what love looks like? After all, these two guys are supposedly deeply in love, they live together, sleep in the same bed, tell each other all their worries and thoughts, both professional and personal, and on top of that, they know that at some point they'll have to be apart for a while, and it looks like this??? Excuse me? Of course, I'm not expecting any raunchy love scenes, but at least a little intimacy? How can we even treat this second part of the series as a BL romance? What kind of romance is it if the characters don't have any romance? Just because they live together doesn't mean they're lovers... Toma had one drink and clearly wanted a little "ramba camba," but Mamiya treated it as a loss of control, as if such an act hadn't been a natural way of showing affection since the dawn of humanity and was one of the reasons people form couples? After all, it's to live together, sleep together, have sex together, etc. However, it's clear that this series shows the life of a couple who theorize about the love that unites them without even physically showing it. I don't know, maybe they're both asexual and sexuality only appears in Tom, and only after having a drink. In any case, this story is becoming terribly boring and tedious to watch and it shows everything, including the secrets of a make-up artist's work, but it does not show what it was supposed to show, namely BL.
Okay, let's analyze this situation, which has been unfolding before our eyes for seven episodes now, and so far we haven't even taken it a step further, because after all, this "touching of lips" can't be considered a kiss.
Mianto is definitely as romantic as a broomstick, and Wataru, from the way I saw his disappointment after that "kiss," would like to experience romantic moments to convince himself that being lovers is better than just being "best friends." Lovers can be, and even should be, each other's best friends, but only friends can't be each other's lovebirds.... That changes a lot, right?
Mianto realized he loved Watarau after five years of separation, and suddenly, upon returning (for professional reasons), he realized it would be nice to live together again because he loved Watarau. Seriously, if you truly loved Watarau, you wouldn't have cut off contact with him for five years and moved to another city. Long-distance relationships exist, not to mention friendships that can be maintained throughout life, even if you rarely see each other for various reasons. Minato touched Watarau's lips to his, then crawled under the covers and fell asleep. Maybe Japanese/Asians have a different sense of intimacy, love, and desire (although in heterosexual dramas, this seems to be no different from our Western behaviors), and he thought that after this "erotic act," Watarau was already his boyfriend, those five years apart would be forgotten, and now they would live together like boyfriends. I'm not surprised Wataru doesn't want to fall into this "Minato channel of coldness," and although he loves the stiff Mianato, his sense of reality definitely hampers his decisions. Minato is good with words, but they're just words, words, words... I believe they both have feelings for each other, but Minato definitely needs time to realize the situation (even if only in the example of his grandparents' relationship) and show at least a little tenderness towards the thirsty Wataru. I wonder if we'll continue to go in circles in the next episodes, or if the action will pick up a bit. I only watched this episode because I was hoping something would finally happen that would give this series some life and reality... but we know how it is, it won't happen. Minato fell asleep, and I almost fell asleep with him.
I really, really didn't like the moment when Toh agreed to be the doctor's boyfriend only because he lost hope of being with Jimmy after overhearing Jimmy's conversation with his friends. After all, he felt cheated on by someone he loved, and he did the same to someone else. Very ugly, phew.
Yes, of course, but since the last three episodes, it's all revolved around North and Ohm, and the couple I'm most interested in has been completely pushed into the background. Besides, while some might find North's naivety appealing, it just annoys me. In my opinion, Ohm is a loner/solo actor, and I never liked him in any of his previous ships, and this time he doesn't suit North either, in my personal opinion! ...I'm happy for you if you like the series
After the first episode, I was thrilled because I thought Junior and Mark were a brilliant and incredibly beautiful couple. My enthusiasm quickly faded, however, when the series shifted to a second couple that didn't interest me at all. Pond continues to play the naive little boy, no matter which partner he's working with. I don't like this dynamic – the small, naive Poon and the tall, strong, cunning Ohm. Furthermore, the love story has devolved into a cheesy comedy, which really disappointed me. I expected more… a better story, better acting, and above all, I wanted to see Junior and Mark as the main couple. Meh !
Pond and Peterpan, on the other hand, are a perfect match. They are both incredibly attractive and hot, and I would love to see them as a BL couple/ship.
I wonder what happened to this series in the second season? Is it still a BL, or more of an instructional guide on how to become a good visagiusta and how the rules of work and promotion work in this industry? Did the cosmetics industry pay for this series and treat it as an advertisement for recruiting new employees or a training program? It's become boring and devoid of any emotion. I also don't know why they included this boy in the series? Is he supposed to play some kind of rival, because I don't understand his role. Overall, they just ruined everything. It's so sad because I liked this couple and their romance.
Wait a minute... Toh is Teh's older brother, and Teh is Plaifah's boyfriend. Jimmy, on the other hand, was Toh's lover, is Teh's friend, and the guy Plaifah wanted. Teh and Plaifah devote all their time to babysitting Toh and intensely concern themselves with his emotional life, as if they didn't have their own. There's something I don't understand: Why is Plaifah so keen on Toh permanently breaking up with Jimmy, and why is Teh so keen on Toh staying with Jimmy? Could it be that Teh and Plaifah really have nothing to say to each other, and Plaifah is so invested in this to finally get to Jimmy and make sure Tod doesn't come back to him? And Teh keeps Jimmy away from Plaifah in this way, knowing that Plaifah won't get Jimmy? I can't explain it any other way but this. I would also add that I don't understand Jimmy; why would such a fun-loving guy want to be in a relationship with the most boring and helpless guy on earth like Toh? This show is kind of pointless and, as a result, boring as hell.
This entire plot could have been squeezed into three episodes because we're just going in circles.
Every episode is like this, except maybe the scenery changes, but that's not a problem.
Wataru doesn't know what he wants because he's not consistent in his decision, and everything revolves around the issue of "being just best friends or being something more." It bores me, just like that passionless kiss. That kiss had as much energy and emotion as the entire series, which is to say, none.
I don't understand why Jimmy mourns Toh? This guy, despite being significantly older than Jimmy, is emotionally immature, is mothered by his younger brother and his boyfriend, and is also incredibly boring and characterless. Being around someone like that seems exhausting and draining. On the other hand, I don't understand why Toh mourns Jimmy when he caused him so much pain and simply deceived him.
I don't understand this show, and the entire psychological construct of the characters is illogical in my eyes. Besides, I feel like Pleif and Teh's relationship isn't sincere, because I feel like Pfei is protecting Toh and pulling him away from Jimmy , wanting to punish Jimmy for being with someone else and not fighting for him. Maybe I'm wrong...

This show is basically a good sleep aid; watching it in the evening doesn't require sleeping pills. BORING!

It's a shame, because this one had great promise.
Toma had one drink and clearly wanted a little "ramba camba," but Mamiya treated it as a loss of control, as if such an act hadn't been a natural way of showing affection since the dawn of humanity and was one of the reasons people form couples?
