Theyre one of the healthiest couples out there, and the writers developed them out really well (unlike several other series with BL side couples). They get more screentime as the series goes on.
I personally would recommend watching the whole thing (not just the cuts), or at least giving it a try. Each couple has their own dynamic, story, and message. Plus, the cuts are often missing situational scenes that are providing context and/or personality to the BL couple characters.
Some people on this platform seem to love on the straight couples (and they can be aggravating at times), but they're actually pretty cute. Especially the other side couple.

Admittedly, I haven't gotten to IPYTM yet - but from what I know about the show Siew Sum Noi might be up your alley.

Try to support on Viki if its in your area - that way the production team knows there's support. Most shows you should be able to watch free with ads even without a subscription.

Prolonged food advert... I can see it. Maybe that would help me moving forward. I actually haven't finished Ingredients, but haven't felt that anxiety with it yet due to how short the episodes are.

Lol, they do all seem to do a lot of staring and slow talking - but I don't blame the actors at all. Their body language is all pretty strong.

Yes, I would love it to be this fluffy the whole show through. But all stories need rising and falling action, and since this does not appear to be sitcom-like/episodic in nature, the show needs a larger rising and falling action - especially with 12 episodes. But all of the problems/dilemmas that could have been that big over-arching plot are getting resolved really quickly. It makes me worried for how bad that the overarching conflict may be.

I hope i'm wrong, but every time a potentially major conflict (not as in an argument, but a plot conflict) gets resolved within the same episode, it makes me increasingly more worried.

I could also just be being paranoid from watching so many complex dramas. So *fingers crossed*

Is anyone else constantly waiting for an axe to fall? I love the fluffiness of the show, but I feel like they get over conflicts and dilemmas super easily and quickly. Anyone else?

You can find english subs fully on BL Paradise. Most other places still haven't finished subbing the last few episodes.

You can find all episodes with english subs on BL Paradise.

That's what I've been saying since it aired! I really don't think it's in her character to do that. And with how explicit it was made that she did not want to marry - I don't think she would do such a thing. Just because a trope exists doesn't mean they have to follow through with every example of it.

Exactly, just because they started an overused subplot/trope that we've been disappointed in with other series, it doesn't mean that they're going to follow the exact lines of other shows who've used it. I've been pleasantly surprised by the team thus far, so I'm not too worried yet. In fact, I would love to see some of the possibilities I've thought of on the screen.

Viki is free (with ads) and official. Please see if you can watch it there (if you are interested in trying the whole thing). Heads up though, there is usually a delay by a few days as they get all the subtitles in.

Well Joanna isn't in the intro or outro segments or promotions as potentially part of an endgame couple (like Piggy's girlfriend in the beginning is). So I don't think we really have anything to worry about.

Aek has so much potential that I've even been able to get the image of him as Kla out of my head. Mark really is a good actor - I hope to see him in more stuff.

I can agree. I feel sad that some people haven't even tried to give the other couples a shot (and it's not just this show). I liked all the couples so much in the beginning. They all have their own appeals and obstacles to get around. However, as is the trend, the writers have put in too many overused tropes to add unnecessary drama- so I am currently annoyed with them. It seems like many BL couples don't have as many plots that get in the way, as the whole identity, coming out, and peer pressure plots make up the bulk of their troubles usually. Sometimes simpler is better (at least for me anyway - I like to enjoy the moment instead of worrying about what shoe is going to drop and how permanent it will be).

There was already the standard love triangle in the beginning with him. And there's already enough potential drama as she figures out how to change her image of him, they figure out how to be a couple, winning over her mom, and figuring out the whole match score/percentage thing. They really did not need to bring the ex husband in at all. Now I'm just annoyed with her.

I don't think it's that out of character. She couldn't decide anything in her consultation either. It seems like she's super repressed and is doing anything she can to postpone, ruin, or otherwise hinder these dates that her family is very clearly setting her up on via the dating program.

It's possible she is tricking Mark because she knows he's the type who would stick around (in stark contrast to every other guy she's been with). It also might be a possibility that they have a non-typical family dynamic with Mark and Ou Wen together (not married to Joanna) and a part of the baby's life.

Please support officially via Viki. It's free even without a subscription. There is a slight delay by a few days while they get all the subtitles in, but it's a good site and helps to show support to the producers.
