On Gen Y Season 2 Feb 18, 2022
I dropped this after Ep 1, but skimmed through Ep 9 to see if I had missed anything. Couldn't stomach it. FF through most of it. Then reading these comments, I wonder how these writers/directors get hired at all. No one seems to like this show, yet its one of the few BL that gets multiple seasons. I'm dumbfounded.
On Love Stage!! Feb 18, 2022
Title Love Stage!! Spoiler
There is some potential here, but a lot of crap to slog through to get to it. Version I watched had some of the worst subtitles ever. Entire sentences reduced to "It?" And... No one has to stay at the hospital for two days for a broken tooth. It's as if the writers have never lived in the real world. Dropped.
Eh. A minor mini series. Super Mini. At 2-3 mins per ep this is only the surface of everything. Never really felt like they were falling in love, until one declares it to the other. And its over before anything really begins. A cute little diversion, but nothing worth rewatching.

Do you even know the meaning of gender-bending? or are we watching completely different show? 🤔
Forgive me, the gender swapping. I always forget how rigid the fans on MDL are.
On 49 Days with a Merman Feb 15, 2022
Title 49 Days with a Merman Spoiler
I loved the first ep. Beautiful story telling. Really felt ZLJ's pain and heartbreak. When Grandpa finally makes him smile my heart melted. Sad that I won't get to see their relationship any more, but intrigued by what's to come. I don't care if it's bromance, it's still an interesting idea, well-told.
On First Love Again Feb 15, 2022
Intriguing idea. Like this new take on the genre, especially the gender-bending. Wasn't blown away, but interested to see how it plays out.

Haha, gay 20 year olds have been known to kiss and have sex, even if they are not in a relationship ;-) Also,…
Yes, boys will be boys (thank god!). That's an interesting point. I didn't get that feeling, but you may be right.
On You're My Sky Feb 14, 2022
Title You're My Sky Spoiler
Both kisses kind of caught me off guard. I didn't think BOTH couples would get to that point in the same ep. FahThorn made sense to me, since they've been repressing their feelings for so long that I can imagine once the dam burst open they would go for it. San and Aai felt a bit rushed, given Aai's hesitance all along. And to see them shirtless the next morning means they moved really fast onto the next stage (which San confirmed to his Grandma!). Actually, that's believable, given they are teenage boys. Those kisses would have made me move on quickly too! Haha. I'm not complaining. I'm happy to see them all together, but I just wish the writers would have given us one couple at a time and spread the kisses out over several eps. So I'm glad the DomeVee kiss was held off for another ep or 2. I know this is a tricky relationship for many, but I think they are handling it very well here. Two steps forward, one step back as rational thinking replaces lust.Curious to see how it all plays out over 6 more eps. Lots to look forward to.
On 2gether: The Movie Feb 14, 2022
Title 2gether: The Movie Spoiler
This series was a guilty pleasure of mine, for while it had many flaws, I still found myself enamored with WatTine and all their friends. I knew the movie would be a cut down version of the series, but I never really thought about how much would actually be cut out. Well, it was a lot, naturally. Unfortunately many of my favorite moments. We don’t get to see all the little moments that slowly made them (or rather made Tine) fall in love. The first rule of movie making is Show Don’t Tell but this movie is all voice over TELLING us the story. If I had just seen the movie and not the series, I probably would not have finished it. Disappointing. Like others have said, I would have been happier with a Special Episode but then they couldn’t have released that in the theaters to make a quick buck, could they?

The bullying rumors he got during Produce were debunked. He did smoke and drink underage, but he apologized for…
It was more a joke than a serious comment , hence the haha.
On Kissable Lips Feb 14, 2022
Dang. This one has gotten its fangs into me. First, Yoo Seo Bin may be one of the cutest men ever. He's doing a very good job with this role, as well. Sorry to read about his checkered past. Means I can't ever be his BF (haha). Love a good vampire story and the way the story is progressing is somewhat unexpected. Nice job. Relies a bit too much on flashbacks, which are entirely unnecessary, since the eps are so short that there is no way I've forgotten what happened 5 minutes ago - and especially since they could use that valuable screen time for more character development. But looking forward to the next 4 eps.

hi, maybe this is stupid of me but, if the living room is colder than the bedroom and at night the temperature…
I agree. It gets better with each episode, I think.

Yes they seemed to forget they gave him a cold until they remembered they wanted him to be weak.
On Secret Crush on You Feb 12, 2022
Not my cup of tea. A bit too silly-teen-sitcomish for me. Over the top acting, stereotyped characters, none of them very likeable. Too much whining and frantic hyperventilating (over things like hanging tangerines off a car mirror). Scenes that drag so the actors can mug. They act more like 12 year olds, not college students. I might give it one more episode, but I don't think I'll be sticking with this one for the long haul.

Good question. Colds are viruses, and you can't catch a virus from just being cold. You need to be in contact with the virus (meaning someone with the virus or a surface touched by a person with the virus). Now... being cold can weaken your immune system, so you are more susceptible to a virus but you'd still need to come into contact with the virus itself. So the easiest way for a writer to give a person a cold is to have someone sneeze around them, not air conditioning. Haha.
On My Engineer Feb 9, 2022
Title My Engineer
Rewatched for 3x. There are so many flaws in this show and yet I still love it. All the characters are so sweet and innocent. All the actors so adorable and charming. Some really bad writing and acting that somehow I am willing to overlook. King, Boss, Frong, Thara and even Tang deserve bigger roles. Can't wait for S2.

On KeiĂ—Yaku: Abunai Aibou Feb 8, 2022
Really enjoying this, especially the focus on the mystery and less romance (just enough romantic tension to keep us interested!)

But one of my least favorite tropes... you don't catch a cold from sleeping on the sofa. Has no Bl writer ever googled this? It's ridiculous - and honestly was entirely unnecessary. Shiro was outgunned, he didn't need to be feverish to be caught.

But that's just a pet peeve of mine, not a real criticism. Can't wait for next week's ep!
On Love Area Part 2 Feb 2, 2022
Decided to check out an ep in S2 to see if I was missing out. NOPE. Couldn't even make it through half the ep. How I wish I was Thai, so I could get a job writing crap like this, because you obviously don't need to be good at it.
On Not Me Jan 31, 2022
Title Not Me Spoiler
Ep 7 is the best ep so far. They still get a little preachy when they talk about the socio-political issues. None of it feels like a real conversation, but like a structured argument made by someone who only has the basic facts. But even those convos were better in this ep. Happy the Nok/Dan story is finally getting somewhere. Can't wait for the model session in the next ep.
