I'm not saying everything should be allowed, but not allowing anything is not realistic either. A kiss is not sexualizing minors and also let's not forget we are watching a BL here ... I don't want to see them "do" anything, I don't want swim scenes, I don't want shower scenes etc ... but if a kiss on the cheek or the hint of an actual kiss would cause backlash, then yeah: too prudish :-)
So ... 16 year old youngsters no longer kiss this time and age? I seem to have read an article saying society is becoming increasingly prudish, seems that it is true :-)
man, people in MDL are definitely NOT fans of time skips lol. this is like the fourth comment section where I've…
Time skips are not a bad thing on their own, but the way it is filmed and brought to the screen is important. Here it is very confusing, many important details of the story are left out (the phone conversation as a prelude to the time skip was very very unclear and that mixed with what seemed to be a memory of the past added to the confusion).
Besides the fact that there is way too much fighting going on at highschool and teachers keep on saying they'll let it go this time, I like it. And Sky rules!
I don't care about Thai or Korean, I'm not fluent in any of those languages so not important to me :-) However the story so far is very flimsy ... it seems like working out at the school gym is the most important part in their life. And then the hugging of the gym trainer ... come on, try to be at least a bit realistic: if he (the trainer/possible killer) really searches for a scapegoat he wouldn't be talking about it on the phone *in the gym* and then get a develish look on his face at a bbq. Btw: doesn't it sound weird that a gym trainer proposes to do "other volunteer work" and never explains what it is (and nobody bothers to ask ...)? Anyway, currently I've survived 4 episodes, not sure if I'll make it to 6 ...
Its better than " Cake- wifi- fifa" we all used to it LOL.
Or Day, Night, Boss, Beer, Sky and the o-so-dreadful Jumpeeuuur Omg ... I just saw the episode and Christmas is also a name :-) Soooo ... NewYear too then?
I'm a bit in doubt ... the story is flimsy at best so far: earning money by "just kidnapping some guy" and later on "yeah, the client wants him dead so just shoot him"?? This goes from kidnapping to plain murder and nobody actually cares (even if he doesn't shoot him). And Min is supposed to be a good guy, but still agreed to the kidnapping in the first place. I'm pretty sure that the average guy doesn't switch to kidnap/murder that easily ... Later on Min wants to just pay the client (who ordered the murder) back and be done with it, what the f**? If someone orders someone else dead, would they be happy with a refund if you claimed to have done it but later on say you didn't? I have to admit that there were some nice moments in these 3 episodes too, so I'm not dropping this ... yet :-)
I'm in doubt: the scene jumps feel weird, and the "car accident" scene was not convincing at all. It can become good but some logic (and better acting) needs to be introduced. Now it sometimes felt like an advertising ad of beautiful scenery and Thai festivities.
1. Chinese nuance, the unwritten culture, Chinese people in gatherings always fighting for who pay the food first,…
Concerning 2: I stand corrected about the lights, you're correct (I even rewatched it :-) ) Concerning 1: isn't it then an insult to the person saying "it's on the house" if then you go pay? I mean, traditions only get you that far ... boasting about who's going to pay seems a work-mentality thing, not for students. And in fact this would mean that anyone saying "it's on me" first, gets to eat & drink for free all the time :-) Concerning 3: it doesn't matter what store it is in fact (be it convenience store, food, ...), the fact remains that no actual professor in the world would say that copies were going to be made there (remember they said it was a small store and far from the classroom in ep2). The excuse to lure him away is just weak, and apparently people not belonging to the college can be on-campus to beat up students. I know this is related to "Uncle Mute" getting beaten (which normally would lead to the students doing that to be immediately expelled from college for life here) but they could've made up a better less-transparent excuse to lure him away.
I'm starting to like this show more and more. Although two obvious director/story errors bugged me: in ep3 everything was on the house when they had bbq, he still went and paid halfway through. And in ep4 they clearly left the light on when hiding in the closet (God knows why), but then the parents say the lights are off (and then you see the lights on from the outside). Nothing major, but a good director would spot these errors ... don't do something wrong for the sake of the story, do it right. And absolutely nobody would fall for someone telling you the teacher called for you for new test copies at a food store just before the test begins, that was a bad way to end ep4.
Well, I tried to watch the original chinese version, that was even worse ... only the "Stay with me" version is…
It was indeed a bromance (but on the edge of becoming more before China cancelled it), but this show just doesn't cut it. The acting is sub-par, the scene cutting is just weird (even in the uncut version ...). It was also the case in the original Chinese version, so I hoped this one was better. I'm still gonna give it a chance, but they need to up their game.
