I liked this better than the first season. At first I had doubts about it because of the angst but when it wrapped up, I really thought it was very, very well played out. People who keep hating it are looking for fluff and didn't get what they want, let them go bitch about it. I'm 100% sure that in the following years when BLs have become dime a dozen, I'd look back to this series as one of the best this genre has ever produced.
But please, I have to bow out of season 3 prospects... I couldn't imagine how they could possibly extend this series further without introducing conflict that TMS haters would later pick on.
if MaxHao wasn't real -- which is what many people seem to think -- I wonder why they are going this far? A potential S2 maybe? I'm sorry but they are no AaronHank, those two didn't even need to be lovey-dovey with each other to get the audience wet
couldn't get the hang of this unfortunately. i am still on EP 2 and I am already getting bored. Was this produced by the same people who made Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice But to Kiss? Because that one was also boring as fuck
So, the ex girlfriend did she know that Kang seo joon is jiwoo's ex?? What about the mother and daughter? Do they…
That woman's intuition is very strong. She probably read it in Jiwoo's and Seojun's expressions when they were communicating. To be honest if I was in her place, I would have figured out something was going on between them as well. I am just not so sure about Jiwoo's neighbor and her daughter if they know anything.
What was the reason for the kiss? I know he loves him bug his conning meeee
I don't think Jiwoo's love for Seojoon disappeared. He left for other reasons, and we'll have to manage to stay alive for the next few weeks to find out. Jiwoo kissed Seojoon out of yearning.
I find it so hilarious that Be Loved in House was rated higher than this one lmao. No hate on Be Loved in House because I admittedly enjoyed it but it was several levels below this one.
Well first, there were many people angry at the time jumps in Bad Buddy. But there always are. The difference…
I guess we have different definitions of time skips. A time skip is when the story leaps forward a significant amount of time, and in YMS, it only happened twice (at least from what I've seen, I am still at ep. 10). Among your list,
- the vacation between Aii and San (which skipped over how they wound up on that trip, and when Aii finally accepted his feelings to himself) -- I believe this was explained but it wasn't clear, presumably because of bad subtitling. Aii and Saen had to do travel outside the city for a class report. And how was him accepting his feelings for Saen a time skip? They even had a whole conversation about that in the bathroom when Aii asked Saen if his feelings are sincere and when he realized he was being a total asshole to Saen. The fact that he became jealous when Saen studied with other (female) juniors instead of him gives a hint that he too actually likes Saen.
- the surgery, Dom break-up, and presumably when the team let Thorn and Fah know they knew about the relationship -- Agree with the surgery, there was really a time skip in that part. For Dome and Pah, I took it that their relationship has been rocky for a long time now and Pah just realized that Dome's feelings for her have gone and just quietly accepted that. Remember that ep where the expression on Pah's face abruptly changed when Dome subtly brushed her off after taking their selfie? That's her moment of realization. For the team realizing Thorn and Fah's relationship, Fah and Thorn were not exactly hiding their affections for each other during their practice and their teammates just picked up the pieces. Fluke even caught on earlier than the rest of the team when she directly told Fah to stop giving Thorn the ball all the time and asked him if there was something going on between the two.
- the move-in, Vee and Dom starting to talk again, and Aii planning his departure and making his decision not to leave -- for the move-in, this was shown at the end of ep 9. are people expecting something similar to that cheesy move in scene in 2gether? YMS is the last serie I'd expect to show us that level of cheesiness. Vee and Dome starting to talk again: in episode 9 Dome caught Vee at a very convenient time by that pool. Vee was under the influence and you know what happens when you are under that state. Vee started talking to him because he was not himself and after that kiss, he finally realized there was nothing to be angry at Dome for because they are attracted to each other, plain and simple. Aii has planned his departure to Japan since episode 2, even asking for advice from his professor. This "plan" was even mentioned several times from ep. 3 to ep. 9. In eps. 9-10, it was clear to see that he is hesitant to leave because that will hurt Saen and he did not want that to happen.
- and Thorn approaching Tuan, doing PT, moving out, and Fah finding out he left. (and I think i'm missing one, but I can't be sure) -- this I cannot answer because I haven't watched ep. 11 yet
People are still bitching about FahThorn and the basketball stuff huh. They got the most beautiful development among the three characters. How hard is it to understand that they are the main characters in this show lmao
The time skip is a pretty common storytelling device though. Bad Buddy did it and you guys didn't even complain. There was no problem with the narrative, eps. 1 to 8 made it clear where the drama was going, so clear that any attentive member of the audience would be able to fill in the time gaps. Not everything needs to be served to you on a silver platter you know.
Despite a few standout scenes (like the bunk bed scene a couple episodes ago), and a great performance by Suar…
I find those actors with big eyes, like Suar, tend to be more expressive. And the fact that he's playing against type here (he's an incredibly goofy guy irl) makes his performance even more impressive.
I still love this drama a lot but I would say Episode 9 was the weakest so far after the first Ep.
I feel the same way but for an entirely different reason. I love Fah and Thorn more than the other gays in this series, but Ep. 9 seemed meandering. And I absolutely hate how they pull the jealousy/third party trope when the series is just about to end (Thai BLs should really stop doing this...)
But please, I have to bow out of season 3 prospects... I couldn't imagine how they could possibly extend this series further without introducing conflict that TMS haters would later pick on.
