The living room discussion about the accident was art! I was so engaged, they did a really good job. Now, it makes…
Agreed, that scene was mesmerizing. I agree that it seems like Siam and In had a thing. And it seems like Wang's mom knew it, or at least understood that her husband had given his heart to someone else.
The fact that almost the entirety of episode 2 was in real-time felt so much like a stage play. The acting here is incredible. As others have mentioned, the mom is annoying. But it serves a purpose. Her drinking, fanciful imagination, and wild mood swings serve to show that she is still struggling with the death of her husband. Also taking into account that she feels somewhat responsible for his death, the way she acts makes sense. I could probably write several paragraphs analyzing everyone's characters and it's only been 2 episodes. Really looking forward to ep 3.
if you want romance and a good storyline then you probably should skip it. every week I swear I'm dropping it,…
IDK, Checkout really bored me but although UN is not well written, it makes me laugh and I still enjoy watching it each week. So maybe it depends on personal preference.
The new trailer is a bit disjointed but for some reason I feel like I have a better sense of the show now. I'm cautiously optimistic. I like shows that have two couples to focus on rather than just one...it helps keep the plot from dragging. I'm hoping this one will be good but I guess we'll just wait and see lol
waitt does that mean kinn and porsche are related??
I didn't read the book for myself but I think I remember someone saying that Kinn's dad and Porsche's mom were adoptive siblings? someone please correct me if I'm wrong
Aw, this was cute. I get wanting it to be longer, or a full series, but I feel like the length was perfect to tell the story they wanted to tell. It was cute, short, and had a nice message. Overall very worth a watch.
Oof, this was not good. If you're going to portray a bdsm relationship at least commit to it! There was no prior discussion of what they were going to do, no safe word was discussed. Kamol is a terrible dom. And even putting that aside, there was no chemistry. Someone else down below said it - if we had gotten this show a few years ago it would have been taken more seriously. But there have been so many high quality BLs lately that we have come to expect a bit better.

me too 😁 - but those starving after petexvegas might come, as i see it,it will be a good pass-time in between…
so true. I also feel like this show would have been taken more seriously if it had come out before KinnPorsche. So I'm just going to try to enjoy it for what it is lol
Such a beautiful movie. I cried a lot at the end, but I think that was what I needed at the time. It felt cathartic. And that little quirk at the very end was such a nice touch. I get what everyone's saying in relation to the fact that Tomo's mom is abusive and should not have custody of her. In reality, that would 100% be the case. But from a story telling perspective, it made sense to me that Tomo would give her mom another chance.
At the beginning of the movie, Tomo seemed to be living on autopilot, just surviving. She's numbed her emotions a lot due to the lack of any kind of warmth or care from her mom. But living with Makio and Rinko helped her see what having a real mom can be like. It gave her the strength to confront her mom and demand better. The film shows Tomo's mom visiting her own mother, as if finally facing some of the mother/daughter issues she has that have informed her relationship with her own daughter.
When she goes home, the film makes a point at showing that things are different - they are clean and orderly. It's a small but reassuring bit of foreshadowing that tells viewers that this time, things may be different. At this point Tomo doesn't really need a new mother...she needs the one she has to step up to the plate.
And this whole experience has also helped Rinko. I wondered throughout the movie why Rinko had yet to change her family registry from male to female. She said that she wanted to make 108 knitted ... well you know, lol. But taking care of Tomo seemed to give her more confidence in herself as a woman. She sped up the process because she wanted to possibly adopt Tomo, but also because she finally felt ready.
Breasts were a reoccurring theme throughout the movie. Rinko talks about how much she paid for hers, and asks if Tomo wants to touch them. Rinko's mom asks Tomo repeatedly if she's started developing them yet, and we see a poignant flashback of Rinko's mom making Rinko's first pair of false breasts. Lastly, Rinko makes Tomo a pair to take home with her. In my opinion, for Rinko breasts represent not only womanhood but also motherhood. For Rinko, breasts were something identity-affirming that her mom in essence passed down to her. By knitting the pair of breasts for Tomo, I think Rinko was in a small way staking a claim and also telling Tomo that she will always be there for her.
Sorry for the rambling, but this movie really made me think. :)
