This is actually really shaping up, great second ep. I liked the fish tank scenes, the very first one especially, I thought it was a good moment to show a different side of Day (even if there was a lame continuity error because that eyedrop bottle fell down OPEN, but Mhok found it closed). I also like that this show isn't drowning in over make up'd and over dressed characters, although Mhok's hair started to look more 'styled' halfway through the ep and that's a bit of a loss, it looked better without that overdone middle parting. Also, also, is it just me or is the actress who plays Phojai really pretty? Good stuff, keen for ep 3.

Hm, yeah I kinda see that. Like he turned into an a-hole because he feels like life is screwing him over sort of vibe. It's a pretty good start though, I like the pacing and the narrative so far.

You may regret learning about Omegaverse, because that sh*t is messy (did I intend this as a pun or not? Yes). OR you may discover you like it and you'll be down the rabbithole, good luck friend. My advice is Google it to get a basic understanding. Don't let the show explain it, I'm pretty sure the show is aimed at people who already know about it.

Ep 1: ngl, I don't like Day so far. Maybe he's supposed to come across that way. I'll see. Def not put off from watching, Mhok is a hilarious mess. Also, Phojai is hot.

Well, I can't say I totally disagree. I think my estimation is based on how much of it I actually read, which is not a lot. 😂

A/B/O is 90% dodgy ick though imo. The fact someone decided to adapt it in any form of media outside written fiction is like, wow, what are you doing. I'm not sure I trust BL's, which already have so many bad questionable tropes, to fall into the 10% that is decent A/B/O fiction. It is true that I won't know if the comments are right unless I try it though, so maybe when I've got nothing else to do, I'll try the first ep.

I'm reading omegaverse in the comments and thinking 'are you serious with this ish rn?' They really went there??? Yeah so, thinking of giving this a miss.

Yep.

I'm always confused by how emotional people can be. The stuff they were talking about at dinner all seemed pretty commonplace to me, nothing to cry about imo. And to get so attached to people in a few days is wild. But that's just me. All the same, Eri and Bobo are the highlight here, good people, good friends. Love it.
The elimination thing seemed out of left field to begin with for a dating show, but I'm not surprised about the one eliminated, I wouldn't be surprised if he told the producers he wanted to leave after his first day there, and they decided to write it into the show so it didn't look random or give bad vibes to the other contestants. He didn't seem keen from the moment he showed up.

It sounds like hard cringe from start to finish 😂 and yes, indeed, MaxTul® are SPOT ON. Even retired as a BL couple, to me they're unrivaled.

I'ma just gonna' go ahead and believe you and not waste my time, because I was already preeeeeetty sure I was gonna' ditch this show after the first ep or less. Trailer looked like sex-shock-factor trashmash and that's a hard sell for me on a good day. Also, you seem to appreciate the quality that was MaxTul® and it makes me trust your opinion here 😂

It's almost 2024 and my comment is vague anyway😂whatchu talking about bruh, you didn't want to know the tap was dripping?

Hm, I struggle in general with watching Japanese BL tbh because the story lines are always very, I mean, asinine, but that's just my opinion. As for the angel, can't say I was curious. I was more distracted by the fact that his wings are so unrealistically small. Cheap CGI would have been better. I think I probably should drop it. Thanks for the answer.

Does it get more interesting after ep 1? I'm struggling to watch more.

Trailer for this is INSANELY good. Keen AF.

HAH! I watched ONE ep and I had to check the director because I thought something about the humor and edits of this felt pleasantly familiar and BOOM, same director of Together With Me and Bad Romance! TWM is still my fave Thai BL after all these years so this is a pleasant surprise for me. I just felt something in the way the cuts were done felt VERY familiar and I was laughing a lot. Same director, same energy. The director definitely makes a dif sometimes.

Not sure why the rating for this is so low. Tropey as it tended to be in certain places, not one of the tropes grated on my nerves as they generally would. Even the scene with Shunyu running out of his apartment, for a second I was about to role my eyes that he was just gonna' start running like an idiot, but then he actually stopped and logically tried calling and hailing a taxi FIRST. I mean, that's progressing past the base of an annoying trope imo. They took a very tropey story and did a good job here, and ep 10's actions and dialogue made up for a lot of the tropey-ness, Shunyu even explained his behaviour, which again, progress. The actors also carried this through successfully. These dorks are adorable actually. Also, that post credit kiss scene instantly made it into my top 10 BL kiss scenes. I don't often replay kiss scenes, but if I do, it's generally because they are 🤌

Reviewed.

Trailer is too revealing and long, cut it off early, but this looks a bit interesting. I'm hoping though, that moving forward, BL's will make a change. I'd like to see the application of the fact that a multi episodal story should have a plot first, and then, yes, a plot can have a love story, and that love story can have sex, nothing wrong with it. But the plot doesn't have to be overly focused on the sex. BL's are improving every year though, so.

Managed to find the time to review. Great show.

Ep04: Eri and Bobo as friends is just the best thing.
