Title 2gether
How long before the MC stop being arses? I know it's comedy but that much red flag just isn't something I'm interested in giving time to. It seems this isn't on GMMTV's youtube anymore (I watched the first episode on someone else's upload without realising) and I'm wondering if it's worth finding it elsewhere or if it's not for me.

Title Wedding Plan
my thoughts on this can largely be summed up by calling it the straightest BL i've seen and a plot which runs entirely on problems created by lazy characterisation. if this is the way MAME does things, it is so not for me.

Title Not Me
the hashtags near the end adding context to the series name. woah.

Yesterday was this year's Mid-Autumn festival, in case anyone is looking for an excuse to rewatch the first episode. The beginning [1/4] is magic.

Title Blacklist
Was that a plot hole, misdirection or a clue? Don't overthink it, it's a rollercoaster of a series with some great young actors.
(One sequence of twists I read a scene as a clue, then bad scripting, then misdirection. It was indeed a clue.)

Title Jun & Jun
Day after watching this and what I keep remembering is the sexual harassment the general manager puts on the intern. Who was his dearest childhood friend, which only adds to the problems of it. I want to forget this one.

The main characters do kiss. We just don't get to see it, which is completely fitting for their personalities.…
Not defensive at all, just trying not to give too much away.

Apparently one or both of the main actors' management refused to ok a same sex kiss on screen. (IMO body language suggests it wasn't the actors.) But the characters do kiss, and the solution the director or screenwriter found was, again IMO, a brilliant and delightful tease and very much in keeping with the quiet, reserved nature of the characters.

Of course I'd rather not have the situation of pearl-clutching management but it prompted some creativity which I feel suited the characters and story very well. Probably better than a more conventional depiction. The actors didn't kiss, the characters did and everyone on set made it work. I didn't need to see more to be happy for them.

Your mileage may vary.
