As in the Korean version from last year, this series doesn't give you enough real insight into the boys and their personalities. There is too much editing going on and not enough substance to truly get to know any of the boys. How am I supposed to fall in love with any of them? Based on looks alone?
This idea of them asking one question on the phone and then hanging up is ridiculous. Dating is about getting to know someone. The phone call gives barely any insight and half of the boys waste their time because they're so scared. Use it to show which guy you like, but don't force them to ask questions rather than have a normal conversation.
The whole top/bottom conversation was hysterical. Watching 4 guys silently FREAK OUT at the thought of revealing what every gay reveals on the first date was so funny. Sorry for that new guy who asked the question. He will not be getting any phone calls. Except from me! (although truly I am team Guan Yu)
Of the 3 dating shows I've seen i think SPARKS CAMP/Phillipines was the best.
Tod = a horrible person. I wouldn't even want to be a platonic friend to this guy. And what's with the peach fuzz moustache? I just spent the weekend with my 11 year old godson and his moustache looked the same. Nuch = a lousy girlfriend. She was jealous from the moment Tod showed up. Long before anything bad happened. Meng = Clueless (but so freaking cute... he should act more). I would not waste my time on this one.
I want to be a famous vlogger whose vlogs include, "I have no idea what to make a vlog about but I really want to be famous for them." Or even worse... "since I have no ideas of my own, I'll just take the horrible advice from my friend." Kids these days.
Ok, close to the end of the series, it starts to get a little more interesting. I still would probably never rewatch…
The best I could come up with was that he had a GPS tracker on the phone. But even then it would only be to general location. How he found and got into someone's private room is another matter. Ridiculous alert.
Kieta Hatsukoi is one of my fav BLs. Primarily because Michieda Shunsuke was so good. I love Fourth. Loooove him. He's got tremendous range. But I'm not sure he has the same goofy charm. Still, I'll definitely watch this one because the premise is so funny and Fourth is a dream.
2 eps in and its ok. Kych has charm and likability, even if he feels like he's forcing it a bit. Michael is obviously a newbie. Loving the Dad (why HE needed to be shirtless and in a towel was a mystery). Nothing unique here, but this is one of the few recent Pinoy BL I've been able to sit through past Ep1. I'll give it a shot.
Decent. I liked it. Sweet and fluffy for the most part. The conflicts felt a bit forced and their reactions seemed far too extreme given the circumstances. Perhaps with a bit more time they could have smoothed those out. A bit too much food porn, but the show is called Bon Appetit, afterall. YoonSoo did give off some odd stalker vibes in the beginning. And they got to I love you very quickly. But for a light piece of fluff it all worked and YoonSoo is adorable.
Soft core art film. Looks like they just threw random boys in front of a camera and said, do whatever you want. worst simulated sex ever. worst kisses ever. Horrible direction. Not worth the 14 minutes of your life.
Best episode to date. I was surprised how tender the love scene was with Ai Di. I expected rough, fast, ripping clothes off and being animals. But it was sweet and emotional. And I couldn't stop crying from the moment Sis and Dad approached in the street. Sis' crying when she ran to hug hum, Dad crying at the fridge with the beers, Dad proud of his son for the bakery, the whole family together and so loving and supportive. It was everything. I've already watched most episodes twice. I'll probably watch the whole thing again waiting for next week's episode. LOVE.
Shun Yu gets cuter every episode. And he'sa great actor. Lots of subtle expressions that feel so natural and unforced. I will say they're milking the gay panic a bit, but it's all such fluffy fun.
Absolutely not. Mini-clips of moments of cuteness shot on an iPhone. Glad you guys got to make something. Next time, try to add some substance. NOT INTERESTED.
