I don't know if anyone had this take but this story - consciously or not - is actually a fierce indictment against…
In my country it is known as conservative religious fanaticism…..I know of at least one mother who was a prime example. Under the banner of religion and devotion to the will of God all three of sons obeyed her without hesitation and married her handpicked spouses. What appeared on the surface to be bliss was anything but that. Two ended in divorce only after her death. The third one was masked in self deprivation and emotional bondage. Thank you for your sharp awareness.
I think I'm gonna stop watching until the series is finished so I can have a happy ending for a bit. I'll come…
I have come to the same decision. I have little or no tolerance for thirsty females who are so desperate for a man they will sink to any level. I feel the same way about these homophobic and caustic, malicious parents. This is depicted in so many Asian films. Are the parents actually that controlling and domineering. I can understand wanting the best for your child. I have three myself. But in the end it is their lives and they should feel free to choose their own path to happiness. See you after ep 12.
I am loving this but dreading what is to come. This reminds me too much of Life: Love on the Line. So many wasted years spent trying to conform and go against one’s true self. Lol. ..I think I will stop at this point and wait until it is over and the two couples are happily together. Personally I never find the interjection of a female third party in bls at all entertaining. Of course I will depend on your spoilers to fill me in on the angst and despair. Take care.
I just finished watching and this definitely goes on my rewatch list. I do not consider the ending a sad one because it is evident that whatever time Jo han has he will die looking at the person he loves the much and Ryu will grieve his loss but he too will find consolation in knowing they were together at the end. Jo han loved Ryu so much he did not want to be a burden but at the same time he wanted Ryu with him at the end and his wish came true. This was truly a beautiful story of love between two gay men.
This is so much better than the ratings. If you are looking for a romantic story filled with loving acceptance and a bright rainbow full of bliss this may not be for you. But if you can face the heartwretching truth and deal with the raw reality of the physical and emotional trauma that being gay means for still so many than join me in watching this awesome tale. If you can bear to watch it to the end maybe you can join me in having more empathy and compassion for those who are born different. They want the same as you and I…to be treated equally, to be free to live a life free of malice and hatred, to be free to love who they choose without fear of being ostracized and demonized. Somewhere in the world is my gay cousin. He has been estranged from the family since he came out. This movie is dedicated to those like him. I hope he is somewhere happy and safe. I hope he is living his truth. Kudos to everyone connected with this beautiful tale of love in its purest form.
Ok that’s a wrap….I got the ending I wanted. This has been a thrill from start to wonderful finish. Loved the aftercredits tidbit. When I saw Great from Wandee Goodday my heart started to flutter. Is this a way of setting us up for the next Only Friends? I need more Boston and Khao and First….
This is giving me Secret Relationships and Addicted vibes. The good news is we get two episodes a week. This is giving me chills already. I know this is going to be a bumpy ride but I am putting my seat belt on ! I love the main leads !
I just binge watched and despite the gaps in the storyline it was really a cute love story. I would love to see the mls in another series together. They both are so gorgeous.
This last episode was so good….old loves coming back…new loves…so messy….a walk down memory lane for me…oh the mess and the chaos that comes with living life… so many great scenes but the one with Boston and Nick was the icing on the cake for me….I was so glad when Nick walked away. We need an Only Friends part 3 with Boston, Nick and Ohm…
Well it is over and I can say that overall I really enjoyed it. It was not the usual romantic storyline that one might expect but there were so many parts that I could personally relate to. I know there have been some criticism of Mi Yu but having been in the corporate world for over 25 years I can tell you what she experienced was very realistic. When you enter that world you really think that high work ethics, intelligence and perseverance is all you need. I had to learn the hard way too. And once you get a benefactor like she had in Ji Feng people really take out their knives and daggers. But to balance it out if you continue to take the high ground as she did you will find yourself surrounded by allies you never imagined you would have. I am so glad that karma is real! But the one I feel the most sorry for is the baby. Imagine having a mother and a father who are both slimeballs. It was a good ride. 8/10 for me.
Overall I loved it but I am tired of Tan and the Influencer. I dont like groveling weak men and that is what Tan is turning into. I also hate ex gfs who return after being away so long and resort to lying and manipulation instead of accepting reality. If he had wanted her back he would have jumped at the chance when he saw her again. From the start it has only been about business. Have some pride. That is why I love Miyu. When she realized her marriage was indeed over she wiped her eyes, put on her big girl panties and handled her business. Even with the Influencer her attitude has been if you two are meant to be so be it!
Personally I am tired of Nan and the Influencer ex gf. Enough of them. Neither one stands a chance. When Nan said he wanted Mi Yu to just stay by his side I cringed at the thought. She is over being someone’s eye candy. She has ambitions of her own now. And the Influencer just looks more and more pitiful. Girl, that ship has sailed. Move on! Next to our main couple I am really enjoying watching our cute chef and the rival playboy banter back and forth.
