Sorry I have tried but I have been spoiled by The Boyfriend. I am stuck on this find love in seven days format. Seven days to me is just so much pressure especially if you are an introvert. I feel the intense emotional pressure it is having on everyone but especially the introverts. Even if they walk away with someone it wont last because it truly takes more than seven days. Hopefully I am wrong but I will just wait until it is over to find out the results. It just seems too forced and too orchestrated. I am happy to see some people enjoying it. I like reading their comments.
Pavel and Pooh have done it again. From start to finish they had me on the edge of my seat. Kudos to the entire cast and crew. Whether you believe in the supernatural or not this was so well done. The visuals were just awesome. Loved the ending. All my favorites were left alive and standing. This is definitely on my rewatch list. I cant wait to see Grim Lover.
Love ep 9. Perfect example of what happens when you fall for an egotistical, self centered narcissist. They can be so seductive and charming but it is just a mask. Poor Jira…he took the bait and fell for Koh. I really hope he does not end up with Koh. One of my favorite sayings is I can do bad all by myself. Koh is the textbook example for a toxic personality. Run Jira run. Of course, he probably won’t listen.
This is the only reality show that I watch. I loved Season 1 and now I am in love with Season 3. It seems so much more authentic than the other shows. No silly game fillers. The contestants actually get the chance to voice their opinions and it is not just about hooking up. We really get to see the personal challenges that being a gay man in an Asian country presents. It is heartbreaking to listen to their personal struggles but it has also given me a new insight into the gay world. This is not a bl fictional series. This is real. Kudos to the cast and all involved. The more I watched Kazuyuki the more I kept saying he needed to go back and try to make things right with his ex. It was clear that he was not over his ex. And I hope Ryubi has found the support group that he needs to be able to eventually live his truth. He is so young . I would like to see him back for a season three . I was also glad that they let Izaya and William leave. It was obvious that they were at the point where they just wanted to be together. I also love the panel. They offer insightful comments but are not at all intrusive. Again for me this is the best. I thought I loved His Man the best but no season they have will ever top Season 2 in my book. Sung Ho and Seong are still going strong. See you next week. Hope Bomi and Huwei seal the deal.
I'm sorry that happened to you. I cried during that part of the show. it was heartbreaking! it does show we should…
I can empathize with you and you make a logical argument. It reminds me of the funeral of a close relative. When it was time for remarks from family and friends a young man stepped forward and intoduced himself. Apparently my deceased relative was his father and this was his first time seeing him. I sat there in amazement. There was no bitterness or anger in his tone. In fact he extended an olive branch to his half siblings. What was the point of being angry? They could not undo the past. Instead they embraced him. I did not read the book that this series is based on but from a comment I read the writers of the screenplay have followed the book .
I have rewatched ep 8 for a second time and I am so sorry about all the negative reactions. I too was disappointed at Don dying but it is such a well done and beautiful episode about love and life. Maybe I feel this way because I am old enough to have experienced that life and love is not linear or logical. Maybe I feel this way because I was happily preparing to see the man I loved when I got that fateful call from the hospital. Like Pond I rushed to the hospital but it was too late. I had been talking to my husband less than an hour before and now he was gone. I will always regret that I had not said I love you before we hung up. I loved the part where the office team does the exercise about love. Now whenever I end a conversation with my friends or loved ones I always say I love you. Funny how it has now become a beautiful habit. And for those who say things could have been cleared up so easily I say yes in a perfect world that is how it would be. But again speaking from experience it does not always work that way. Maybe I am one of the few people in the world whose family tree is overloaded with secrets and hidden truths. If anyone has been kind enough to read my long tirade I thank you. I do not take your criticism lightly but I stand as probably the only one who actually appreciates the overall symbolism and message .
I am really loving this. Fah is so patient and supportive of Phoon. The scene with his parents is in such a direct contrast to what was portrayed in earlier bls. And it felt so good to finally see the toxic and abusive parent get what he deserved.
Why did Don have to die? He and Pond kept me coming back. I was really rooting for them. However, it is very realistic and ties in with the storyline….Every day is important…if you love someone tell them…and dont let past misunderstandings get in the way. Finally, we got the answer we wanted. I know people feel things could have been cleared up much sooner. I agree but that is not how life always works.
Loved episode 5. For me it had the right balance of drama and levity. How many more have to die? Sorry, but the real world is not kind. It reminds me of a former student who kept pushing another student about his affiliations. He tried to ignore her. Finally, he had had enough. He told her if he answered her questions he would have to kill her. He asked if I would change his seat. I did. Apparently, she didnt get the message. Two weeks later she was laying in a hospital bed with a brain concussion. He was in a jail cell. This series is fiction and entertaining as it walks that fine line between what is real and what is not. I am really getting a kick out of Joong and Dunk. And seeing Boom and Aou is always a treat . Next week should be fun.
To the haters : the rating on this series will not go down, it will only go up, no matter if you keep coming here…
Yes, you are so right. Everything about this was so awesome i.e. the cast, the directing, the editing, the music, the cinematography. Everyone understood their assignment.
I just rewatched this series for the second time and I loved it from start to finish. The entire cast was great but there is one area where I have to give praise to and that is the way the female characters are portrayed. In too many bls the female characters either served as window dressing or desperate foils. I loved each of the female characters portrayed…. No bitter homophobic mother, no deadbeat jealous sister, no bitter, conniving exgf. What a breathe of fresh air. I can say the same about the bl Heated Rivalry. Watching female characters who are supportive, smart and a positive element is so encouraging . I even loved the way Plub and Mim were dressed. …stylish without being over the top.
I hate cats but I love Khao and First. They never disappoint. I am in it until the end. A bit of comedy intertwined with drama. No one does it better than these two.
This is still one of my two favorite dating series. His Man is the other one. I actually like the format and the slow burn. It feels more realistic to me. It reminds me of when I was in college and active in my sorority. Of course we interacted with the other sororities and fraternities alot. So there was always this jockeying back and forth. Who liked you? Who did you like? There were matches and mismatches. Cheers one week and tears the next. I am rooting for Bomi and Huwei and for William and Izayka. But I know in reality once they leave this bubble and return to the real world things may not remain the same. But still I dont think anyone will regret the experiences because it helps a person get a deeper understanding of who they are and what they really want in a partner. That is what I love about this series. It is more than just hooking up with someone. It is not playing mindless games. I like each one in the cast.
Even if they walk away with someone it wont last because it truly takes more than seven days. Hopefully I am wrong but I will just wait until it is over to find out the results. It just seems too forced and too orchestrated. I am happy to see some people enjoying it. I like reading their comments.
positive element is so encouraging . I even loved the way Plub and Mim were dressed. …stylish without being over the top.
