Literally, nothing happens in Nitiman LOL

Oh man, i miss my Ou Wen giving spoken slaps to Mark (and the audience) about his misconceptions and stereotypes about gay guys. It stoped at the best part : (

Hmm... so we the ones outside japan should forget in in a corner till early 2022

This hits me in my Haruma Muira fan heart : /

Yes, i did watch this season. When Rebeca enters the class the first ep i really gasped. I'm on the opposite of being a puritan or thinking that i have any say on how anyone should dress or present themselves, but as a show, is clearly objectification.
I do see that usually girls are more forward with fashion and customization as a way of expressing ourselves than guys, is in the way we are raised, cultural and social gender stereotypes, but that is reaching here. This is about women being objectified in media, from back then when i cannot even remember how many movie posters i have seen where there's a woman body without a head or faceless (and what that implies) till now, shows there's still a long way to go and this show is still inside the "male gaze" in that sense.
The ray of hope for me is that it pass the Bechdel test (includes more than 2 women, who have at least 1 conversation between them about something other than a man) but barely and happened because they explore a lesbian couple, and even there the main issues are Reb accepting a new person in her life AFTER A GUY BROKE HER HEART, her mom issues (those coversations about the mom drug trafficking, and wanting to change for her are barely the ones that give hope, pass the test and solidify their bond) AND THE SUGAR DADDY.
Is so nice to hear that you are talking about this with your daughters!! I believe that educating next generations on this issues early on istead of having to deconstruct us when we are older is key.

Sorry to interrupt and intrud in the conversation haha. I'm not comming to fight guys, just to share my two cents ^^ As a girl that went to a private high school in Spain, the nuns would have set me on fire if i did wear that. They already looked at me like i was going to hell for being a redhead feminist and non believer LOL Anyways, Elite is your typical teen show that aligns with the culture and freedom of sexuality, gender and so on that teens experience in a big part of Europe. It doesn't pretend to be groundbreaking or deep, but entertaining, what surely is. If someone thinks for a sec that Nitiman is more entertaining, they have issues.
Oh, i very much enjoy the sex scenes too, and the touches, the kisses, and everything in between. Yes, for some can be too graphic and prefere other type of sex scenes, more intimate in the love and tenderness department (i do like me both and i do feel like i need and want more in betweens, dramas that give us both, more mature but still passion and love) but hot teens do stuff like this and usually is more like the hot rather than the profound love. What it's weird is spooning every night with someone that you have loved for a while, at least that person reciprocates but there are barely moments of hotness or sexual tension between them. And the romance isn't even that heavy either, a couple of luke warm moments. They can take time with sex, but (excuse my realism for a sec) if you tell me that at this point they haven't even touch each others ds... no way.
Then again, i know where i'm at, and where bl is at this moment (luckily flourising in some aspects, thank you Nadao, some Taiwanese shows...) so i never came to Nitiman expecting a lot on the exploring sexuality thing, but i did expected more from the conection, romance and little things, and SPECIALLY i did expected more from the story, a bit more meat. I don't hate it, but to me feels like another good oportunity that it's gone.
They don't need to show explicit, but give us sensual and sexual tension, intimacy and connection scenes, is important for me, and this series and plenty of bl romances lack. Same as i come to bl because plenty of european and american queer shows lack on the cute romance department.

LOL I'll blame them for all the extra snacks i ate in order to endure watching this show

Looks like the will come out next ep and put an end to the series. Honestly, they could have done the same in half of the episodes.

Indeed haha The first half of eps were about them continously having leg casts and now about Jin being drunk and Bbom taking him to his room to hug while sleeping. I just need for something MAJOR to happen. Oh and i want them to have better friends too, like, wtf.

I think i saw Jin being drunk and taken home by Bbom at least 4 or 5 times.

Wetv yes. But wanted to support on YouTube as well and it's blocked there. Only the episode tho, you can see the short clips and all. Anyways, maybe they'll fix it later on.

I'm currently in Spain so maybe is blocked in Europe. Idk, i think is weird, never happened to me with any other bl on youtube : /

My bad, i mean that is blocked on YouTube for my country. I guess the vpn extensions are our best friends!

They should throw a party with Saint to celebrate that they are free LOL

I didn't came expecting a super deep heart wrenching and introspective series, so this is totally doing it for me. If you compare it to everything else that it's currently airing bl wise, this is in my top as of now. The tropes are quite well done and not too cringy, thought the interest for the girls would be the biggest turn off but so far is not doing that. The romance department is progresing at a perfect pace and the main couple have good chemistry. I like how they look together and props for using a very manly actor with beard included that deep inside is a softy, that's already quite groundbreaking in thai bl. Also, The more cute and "feminine" actor that comonly is a bottom (let's see here) looks like is less shy than the other and will take the initiative more, reminds me of one of the good points of the Fighter x Tutor dinamic (if they make them versatile as well i will be happier because i love when they break those stereotypes).
The action scenes are not perfect but definitely good level if you compare it to any past bl (Kinporsche, we are hyped). And one of my favorite things is definitely the house used as the set. Is really tasteful, sometimes i have to rewind because i got too focused on the background. Super aesthetically pleasing.
So far i'm just rolling my eyes a bit with the father and the enemy, some of those scenes and the plot behind lack.

Agree, the least we can do is stream it on youtube, it's free!!!

I don't recall scenes from them as couple after their eps, Puth is in a few scenes but just with the gang of friends. We had that special ep on youtube (10 mins) and now they are going to have scenes next week in the last ep (the only reason that i'm going to watch it lol), witch it would be for all the couples.

Haven't enjoy a kdrama this much for the longest time.

True, in My Engineer i don't have that many issues with the acting. The plot should be heavy and heart wrenching, but it's so terrible handle, visually and written... I don't blame the actors if the couldn't get into character and portray it well, but i also think that they have to grow as actors. Everything was a mess.

Puth x Kaeng reing supreme, the only story and couple who did something decent. Give them another project!!
