I stumbled upon this and decided to watch a second time . I was reminded of why I loved this series. I think it is actually one of the most underrated BLs.
It deals with real issues in
a very positive way. There is accountability and
consequences. I also like
how the female characters
are portrayed. In a lot of BLs there is the bitter echo
who is bent on revenge…or
the females are so scatter
brained. Here the females
are actually advocates and
very supportive. I also like how the parents are depicted. Again, no verbal
or physical tirade or
shameful rankings. The issue each couple deals with seem very realistic
and the pain is reflective
of their inner grappling
and coming to terms with
who they are and who
they want to be. Even the
teacher was a ray of wisdom. I would put this
right up there with Cherry
Magic and He’s Coming to Me . This goes on my
rewatch list.

I have watched this three times already. It is just
mesmerizing to
watch as these
two souls come
together. The scene where they
are bathing reflects
the simplicity and
purity of their
growing friendship
and eventual love
for one another.
No scene feels
rushed. I have said
it before and I say
it again. The
Japanese are
masters at telling
a story and they
take the bl genre
in a direction
that incorporates
the reality of
life without being
pretentious or
naive. Another
Japanese bl gem is
His.

I started to give this a pass but then I remembered that the Japanese bl is like
no other. They are the
masters of subtlety and
storytelling. I am looking
forward to seeing how
the miscues are handled
and the couples finally get
on the same page.

I agree. So far I am enjoying it.

So far I am loving this. I’ve looked at over 50 BLs and this falls in the category of just a sweet story about
two people who prove
that opposites do attract.
It’s only eight episodes and
we are half way through so
the conflict should come
soon and then the final
resolution which I hope
will find our mls together. This is one of those BLs that one could binge watch
in a few hours. It reminds me of Cravings and You Make Me Dance. Really I don’t even need subtitles. I can just watch the two mls.

I agree. I have never seen such intrusion into the personal life of an
entertainer as I have seen in the lives of Asian
entertainers. They
are human
and to me
their private life is their
business
unless they are
committing a crime.
Couples
fight. Couples
break up.
That should not
destroy a
person’s
career.

I loved Ohm in Make It Right and He’s Coming to Me. Looking forward to seeing him again.

What a very nice thoughtful analysis…. Now if only the production team could have projected the same on camera. I’m still watching but I still feel the
viewers have been let down.

I just completed ep 9 and I really cannot understand
what just happened. It just seems like it’s all out of synch. First we get the
wanna be girlfriend and then the scene with the
intrusive chef wanna be
heir to rich daddy’s empire. It just seems like
the writers just threw
anything and everything
they had into the pot just to see how it would turn
out. And I am so over Aek. I was trying to understand and be empathetic but my
goodness….all Aue did was
kiss him. Why have they
turned him into a little wuss. Aek may be younger
but he’s still an adult. I just kept saying…stop whining.
And who spills his deepest
feelings to a stranger..the
person he should have been talking to is Aue. The best parts of this for me
was the part with Aek’s
friends and Aue’s staff. And what was that lovey
dovey commercial at the
very end. Lol..it just made
the episode before seem
like a comedy of errors…
which it was. I will still
continue watching but
with little enthusiasm.
I know we haven’t seen the
last of the intrusive wanna
be gf or Aek’s new suitor.
I love a good stew but this
is not it! Too bad because
this started off really good.

I agree. I’m hanging with it hoping for a quick turn of events to get our mls back on track.

Or die like the jealous, spiteful,
sister.

If you are a bl groupie like I am I say watch it or at least give it a try. Personally I liked it but I happen to be a sucker for a happy ending . I do have issues with the writer Mame. I personally think a few sessions with a good therapist
might help her but what do I know. I say try it…that’s what the stop button is for and I have plenty of BLs
which I discarded before the first
episode was over.
Take care.

Oh you had to go there but that’s ok.
I actually love LBC and LBC2….probably because I just adore Perth, Saint, Plan and Mean and Yacht too. I have rewatched each at least three times. I also am a huge fan of Tharntype. I just rewatched that this week. I watched TT2 but it
just never resonated with me. I think that’s
partly because I was so invested in the cast from TT1. I really missed Techno. But I have
really enjoyed Don’t Say No(excluding ep 11) and will put it on my list to rewatch. Take care.

Ok I finished Ep 12 and it
surpassed my expectations. Even when I
think of Ep11 and started
reflecting it reminded me
that life and love can get
real crazy and messy….I’ve seen it and experienced it but if the love is really true
somehow the couples will
find their way back to one
another. That’s why I’m not
even upset about Pob and
Leon. Their separation is
all about the two of them. There is no obstructive third party from the past,
no family pressure, no life
threatening illness or
accident. They love each
other but they also understand each other. This is actually the first real test of their love and
I’m putting my money on
the two of them eventually
being reunited. I look
forward to the special on the 29th. Until then stay
safe everyone.

The young hairstylist.

I loved the ending. No cliff-hangers…all three couples
got a happy ending. So glad to see the growth in each
relationship. I was so proud of Mark. He did not
let his parents stand in his
way and clearly he has a
healthy perspective when it comes to Joanna. Also, the older couple dealt with
their situation perfectly.
Loved how the mil was
able to stand down and let
her boyfriend follow his
path with her as support. And what a great friend
Mark was to choose helping his friend over
Taipei. I needed a feel
good ending and this was it for me.

Never thought a man could look so pretty and masculine at the same time.

It’s as if the original writer went on hiatus and said let the new intern write ep 8 and see if the viewers can recognize the difference. At this point I’ll probably wait until the last
episode and read the comments. That will let me know if I’ll watch
9-12. I hate doing that because I thought the shots of the food and the two mls in the
kitchen together was awesome. What a waste of good talent.

Vich gets my vote…I’ve been telling people that for years…which is why I’m getting burgers and onion rings now and washing it down with a can of coke.

That’s what I don’t get about bl writers. Why do they insist on throwing a female in there when the guy is clearly gay. It’s as if they think being with a female will wash the gay away. From what I’ve seen it
doesn’t work that way . This just seems to be unnecessary and
actually an insult
to the gay community. If I’m
wrong please
enlighten me. I was
enjoying this series up to the last episode.
