From your comments it appears that some people have cancelled the series . I did not cancel the series but when…
Thank you for your comment. I understand your point. That's is why I mentioned it is not everyone's cup of tea. And we have too many series/dramas available to cater to each of our preferences. I think I haven't elaborated much with regards to the cancelation. People could stop watching and drop the show whenever they chose. That's their right. What is not acceptable is when people branded the plot ruined or the negative aspect showed is what destroy the essence of the show. Which is absolutely not. If it is not your cup of tea it doesn't mean it was poorly done. Negative and real-life issues in a series don't make it a bad series. It felt like when people cancel it under those grounds... the effort of the production and the actors are being discredited. This will make the creators and actors in the future shy away to portray with these real-life topics because of people canceling/ hating the shows on the wrong grounds. And the sad thing is the hate is even being channel up to the real-life actors themselves and not just the characters.
And I've seen a lot has been complaining also about gay couples are being subjected most of the times with this trope. Which I find not really accurate for it happens in a lot of couples in every drama. If we wanted BL to be seen equally as we claim 'Love is love... regardless of anything." Then we have to man up and accept both the good and the bad of the word 'Love'. Irrespective if it is a straight couple or not.
It's fine to criticize, it's fine to not watch when you don't like it. But when people start to project their ideals and because those ideals/wants are not in line with what the show is narrating start to 'hate watch' and branded the series as a failure that is where wrong enters. For I believe only those who watched from start to finish and understand the essence and point of the plot are the ones who can judge the series if it is a failure or not. And by the way, good day/night to you too.
I just can't understand why when something negative was being presented in a series, people start to jump up like they were burned by the sun and cancel the show faster than lightning. I know movies and series are supposed to be people's escape from harsh and boring reality... but if people wanted to watch fluff and the perfect type of relationship then there are too many movies/series available out there to satisfy their desire for utopia scenarios.
If this type of series that showcases the ugly part of life/relationship is not your cup of tea, it doesn't mean there is something wrong with how the series is written. It only means it caters to specific types of people who could appreciate and relate to it.
Let me reiterate, if a character commits unforgivable or hateful things in a movie, it doesn't mean the plot was destroyed or something like that. It only means the series, actors, and the director are not shying away to show the audience how flawed people are and how imperfect reality is. CHEATING was never to be considered as correct/valid/understandable in any way. However, it does happen. Power celebrity couples and even couples that we grew up with that look so perfect together sometimes end up ruined by things like this. It was painful, it was hateful... but it is what it is.
Why don't we start normalizing seeing negative things being portrayed in any drama? BL lovers like me have to keep on wanting to normalize seeing same-sex people in a drama and not be brand as BL, but only be called and branded as Romance. If we wanted to be normalized like that, then all the issues/problems Het couple are being put under in all dramas should also be accepted in BL. Because whether we like it or not... every couple whether straight or not experience similar things. In my entire life watching dramas and movies, I don't think I could count the number of Het dramas with cheating in it and many other adult negative things. The audience gets angry, yes, while watching it but I don't see them canceling the show. If we BL lovers/watchers wanted the mainstream(majority) of people to fully accept this genre as just plainly Romance... we should change our selective mindset also.
Because this is not the first time this happened. When adult negative things are beings showed, it gets to blow up so hot and started to brand the series as a failure without really understanding why the characters chose to do what they do. As long as the series is not trying to play the bad issue like it was fine, I don't see any problem if they try to use them as part of the plot. We, real-life people, are not even close to perfection. We commit mistakes, we turn into idiots sometimes when we fell in love and we hurt the people we care about... if we are like that then fictional characters can be like that too, after all, they are based on real people right?
The Episode 3 exude all the needed feels. What a lovely episode. The lap hug of TT was heartbreakingly sweet. It was done so tenderly yet can twinge the heart of the viewers.
At that moment, it felt like Type is reassuring himself more than Tharn. That they are contented on what they already have... yet I think deep inside he also wanted to give the marriage Tharn wants. Because deep down Type wants it too. But he still not ready to acknowledge that fact for now.
Tharn's eyes while he reminds Type of the event for tom (Thorn's proposal) on the bed... so glassy and full of love. Tharn slightly hesitant response "I think so too." on the lap hug scene felt so painful. He was hurting inside but Tharn knows it is what Type's wanted to hear for now.
These two are really the other half of each other. Type knows what's going in his man's head without Tharn saying anything. And Tharn knows when to give in and let Type take things at his pace. I don't know where the hate for this couple and the boring comments are coming from. These two complex characters really complimented each other.
Not to mention the endless complaints about the cinematography and editing. TT scenes are shot and taken in a domestic like setting (Example: Condo, mall, bar) we can't expect an outstanding seaside kind of vibes in it. (Be realistic please)
We are watching free episodes with almost instant English subs, yet some don't even appreciate that fact. Not to mention, this might be the last time both MewGulf will star in a series for an unforeseeable future (until a new project together was officially announced). We should enjoy and support them as this series was specially done upon the massive request of the fans.
Those who don't like the Season 1 and not a fan, there is a huge probability you won't connect with the story, so for the sake of your own selves and the fans, don't push yourself to hate watch. I presume there are tons of series that suit your taste after all.
People just know how to nitpick in every single little thing just so they can hate.
So far, Episode 3 is the best. But it still feels like an introduction to what was to come. The pot was just placed on the stove, the water is yet to boil.
