The Stud Complex meets Naivete and Low Self Esteem
Am I often irritated with this series? Definitely
Am I surprised by this dynamic? Absolutely Not
This is Bad Guy My Boss in a different setting. The tall handsome guy not wanting to commit but needs his needs met. In Bad Guy My Boss James played Elyes or something a CEO with a secretary he clearly wanted but he let him down more times than an adaptation series from GMMTV (by that I mean series adaptations not book adaptations it's just my opinion)
Like Elyes, Jimmy has a God complex thinking anyone and everyone wants him or something from him so he can treat people like servants and they'll always be there for Round 2 and Beyond. He's giving BD Energy (iykyk)
Toh like Pat before him is under Jimmy's spell and he's very sensitive so when Jimmy charmed him out of his fruit of the looms it was for keeps in his mind. No matter how much Jimmy emotionally abused him Toh kept running back. Toh may be older but experience wise Jimmy has the upper hand.
Now Jimmy is not a bad guy per se but I feel he's witness or felt hurt before by giving one person too much power over his feelings so he uses or hurts someone before they can do it to him. He kept Toh at arms length using him for sex and revenge but as his heart got involved fear made him hurt Toh before Toh could hurt him.
Jimmy initially wants Fah. Fah was a guy Jimmy saw as another conquest maybe even love but when his best friend and Toh's younger brother Teh swooped in and f'ed Fah right after Jimmy laid out his plan to woo Fah, Jimmy's animal instinct of an eye for an eye went after Teh's brother purely for vengeance and to have something to bargain with.
Jimmy is the king of getting in his own way but this series perpetuates the half of the story model. Jimmy realizes he loves Toh and Toh realizes he loves Jimmy but when Toh goes to tell Jimmy he finds him bragging to his buddies that he doesn't beg or love anyone. As Toh leaves destroyed once again by Jimmy we see Jimmy say But with P'Toh it's different I do love and miss him.
But taking a page from Jimmy's book, Toh is off to use Dr. Freeze by accepting his dating request even though he doesn't love Dr. Freeze.
As a write this incoherent review there are 2 unaired episodes. My prediction Toh and Jimmy are end game and Dr. Freeze is collateral damage. It's Jimmy redemption arch time.
