Thank you. I had really stopped watching kdramas because to me they had become so toxic. Adultery, deception, verbal
abuse, physical abuse, overbearing
male characters,
unscrupulous friends, jealous and thirsty females, spiteful
mothers and hateful fathers just became too much for me . This was
actual fun to watch and entertaining.

I loved this series. For me it was a breathe of fresh air. There will be obstacles in life and challenges but there can also be love, forgiveness, reconciliation, mutual respect , true friendship, and redemption. I was so glad to see all three friends happy at the end. Yes, the one husband was lazy and ditzy but it was great seeing how his daughter and wife kept him in line. You dont have to like it or even understand it but there is genuine love between them. Even the scene with the sister and her son. When her son
identified the older woman as his grandmother she said nothing to deny it. Being in a blended family myself I can appreciate this scene. For my sake the adults around me put aside any dislikes or personal differences for my happiness. So for me this hit all the right buttons and will go on my rewatch list.

Seriously I am being sincere. That is what I enjoy about this site. People can freely voice their opinion. I dont expect everyone to agree with me. I just hope people do not attack me personally. I try not to make assumptions about people because I dont know their circumstances. Right now my main priority has been to stay cool and not have a heatstroke.The temperatures where I live have been in the hundreds. Anyway I do mean it when I say take care. You havenot done anything to me for me to feel any other way.

This is the resukt of having a well written script, an outstanding cast and a talented director. I feel the bl audience is expanding. Some of us want more than scenes in the shower , toxic
relationships,
and mindless romps in the bed. If its relevant to the storyline and the development of the storyline ok.

Sorry friends but I may have to stop here….I love this series so much. The thought of either of these beautiful souls getting hurt is just too much…I still cannot rewatch Make Every Day Count! That ending destroyed me! Even in real life such things happen…you are filled with so much joy and you are consumed with love and happiness….when in a moment all that is shattered! Keep watching please…I know I am a coward….my daughter says I am a drama queen! I will count on your spoilers to see me through to the end. Four episodes of pure joy and love.

Lol..I kept trying to remember when the slapping occurred. Then it hit me…if you are referring to the mother watching her future son-in-law making out with a man in the midst of a formal traditional ceremony leading up to the wedding I can assure you if my mom had witnessed such she would have exploded too. And lets just suppose it had been a female he was making out with…same results. Sorry folks but the scene felt very realistic to me given the circumstances.

I did not hate it. I have seen much worst. I applaud the effort. I actually like the cast. The guys are so hot and i thought the mls looked good together. I am glad the farce was uncovered. One of the best scenes for me was seeing the groom’s mother slap the bride’s mom. I was like nobody slaps my son. That privilege is reserved for mommas only. There were some issues addressed and the inclusion of the transgender character was handled well in my opinion. Of course there were missteps but there were enough positives for me to give this a 7.5. I had given up on Filipino bls but this week I watched The Day I Loved You and Tie the Not. They give me hope.

What a perfectly beautiful episode. Of course Kawi and Pisaeng
were awesome.
Both Krist and Fluke continue to own their characters. And I am so thrilled whenever I see female characters in bls being shown in a strong, positive light. Kudos to Pear and Kwan . I even have to compliment how Fluke’s mother was shown. As a mother of a son who dared to step outside his cultural and religious upbringing I could certainly relate to his mom. But like her my love for my son and desire for his happiness outweighed
any fears/concerns I harbored. Even Kawi’s talk with Max was right on point. Only two more episodes to go. My fingers are crossed for a happy ending with Kawi and Pisaeng together.

What can I say but this is plot development and character development at its best. Not a frame is wasted. Each scene has meaning and provides more insight into the inner most motives of the character. The way the subject of crossdressing and gender identity was woven into the storyline shows how dedicated and strategic the writer is in
making a statement but still being conscious of the restraints imposed on the
industry. Kudos to all involved in this work of art. I am still holding my breathe. I am relishing this moment because I know a storm is still looming over our heads. The other great news is the rating has gone up to a 8.3. Wonderful!

Go ahead….it’s a realistic reflection of love and relationship. It touches every emotion. This series is also one that I personally use as a yardstick to measure against other series. It is a gem. Another plus is its length….only five episodes is
bingeworthy.

I really am trying hard to like this but something is off and I know what it is…..Mame is the screenwriter and the director too. Is there anyone that dares to tell her when something makes absolutely no sense . She seems to rely on pretty/handsome faces and is milking the inclusion of a lesbian couple . I have watched some farfetched bls but with great writing and editing alongwith a good cast they were at least entertaining. These are two grown ass adults and neither one has what it takes to even put on a good fake. The bride refuses to get involved at all and is just seems to be in la la land. And her gf is just going along for the ride…,at least show some real angst. Again, I hate to see potentially good actors doing the best they can with something that just falls flat. I think if this was a period piece set in another time and place it would be fun to watch..,,but this is the 21st century . Time out for just thinking because it includes a gay male couple and a lesbian couple that your audience will just forgive and forget. Please let it get better . I will give it one more episode but only because I really really like the mls.

I generally do not find Filipino bls enjoyable but this one was really really so good. I found the storyline intriguing and the mls did an awesome job in portraying the inner emotions of the characters. I also love the diversity of the cast which I also find encouraging. As a former educator it is so refreshing to see a guidance counselor as a character who is actually providing guidance and compassion. The handling
of a teenage student who is gay and has a physical problem was handled with compassion without being patronizing. I understand there is a season 2 coming with the same cast. I can’t wait. This bl actually deserves more than a 7.8 in my book. It definitely goes on my rewatch list.

Loved Chinese Killer and Healer.

Not really. In my opinion despite similarities they offer distinct differences which puts each in a category of its own.

Trying to fill up the time until the next episodes. Rewatching Addicted…my take on the two:
Addicted - Bold, audacious, rough and gritty, sexual tension
Stay With Me - Sweet, sincere, heartwarming and
full of sensual innocence
I love both .

Thanks…I just hope we get a happy ending.

What about the ten year gap and reuniting some people have posted.
