I really hope Taekyung will end up with Daon. But I can see them pulling the enemies to lover trope and having…
Gosh, I fully expect him to end up with Shin Woo. I doubt that Da On is gay -- he's more likely a people pleaser who shows inordinate amounts of affection toward both girls and boys.
EP 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSU5vdMNaSA&t=918sDamn, Fuck, Yeah- Okay so, In this episode we got to explore…
It's a 10/10 for me, too.
Despite Lee So Hee. If you watch any number of these Korean web dramas you'll notice there's usually a character like her. She'll be sneaky and bitchy the whole way, until the final couple of episodes when her redemption arc will unfold and we'll be expected to forget the past and accept her as a new woman. F that!
You're right about them robbing us of the complete scene between So Hee and Tae Kyung. It would have been nice to see the rest of their verbal sparring.
One thing in its favor: Ep 2 showed that they’re not going to pretend the older guy is a teenager. Whether they actually make that an interesting element in the story has yet to be seen.
Bbomb and Jin's relationship is starting to look like one where the couple has been together for years rather than days.
And what's Jack's game, telling Bbomb not to trust Jin? Isn't he supposed to be one of Jin's best friends? After that scene he lost a lot of points with me.
A rough start. There's a camera with a smudge of dirt on the lens and one of the actors can't stop sweating, even indoors. (Where was the makeup person to dry him off between takes?)
The acting isn't very good, either. I see people here on MDL criticize the acting in many other BL series ("Golden Blood" and "Light On Me" come to mind), and I hope they get a chance to watch this. They might end up re-calibrating their rating scale.
Yes, one of the leads is older. I'm hoping that they're not going to try to pass him off as college-aged, and that the story will be more about an older guy who has broken up with his boyfriend and gone back to school for his degree. With the other characters addressing him as "uncle" here and in the trailer, I'm guessing they won't try to pretend that he's younger, but we have yet to know for sure.
The other lead is handsome ... and has impressive fingernails lol.
The ladyboys are as unnecessary here as they are in any other series. When that guy bumped into them there was a hint that maybe, just maybe, one of them will end up having an actual "enemies to lovers" storyline, but I think it's more likely that the encounter was there to remind viewers that they should only be condescended to.
The subs aren't very well done but that kind of thing doesn't bother me anymore. This series in particular probably had a very low budget, so I think we might be lucky that we've got any subs at all.
I'm still curious enough to watch Episode Two. What can I say. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This turned out to be a four-episode series stretched to twelve, with a second couple that was excruciating to watch and utterly unbelievable as a romantic pairing. If I never see Louis in another series it will be too soon. I find it hard to believe that the same person who cast Pond could have been involved in the decision to hire Louis. Maybe Louis's family knows somebody at GMMTV who pulled some strings.
Oh, and he can't sing, either. Trust me: you can't force a no-talent down the throats of the public. Eventually they have to be able to fend for themselves, and Louis is going to turn out to be a flash in the pan.
The director should be scolded for making Neo come off like a terrible, scene-chewing actor who shouts his lines. If I was Neo's manager I'd be immediately searching hard for another role that will allow him to truly showcase his talent. His performance here was a disaster.
Right around the midpoint my level of interest in the series dropped significantly and I started to forget that new episodes would be airing. It got to where YouTube would serve them up and I'd be like "Oh yeah ... that's still going." Then I'd put off watching until I'd consumed everything else that had come out that week.
The last few episodes took me multiple days to watch because they could only keep me engaged for 15 minutes at a time. FUTS had become a borderline hate-watch.
For me the high point was the episode where Pond was hiding out in Pi's house, trying to avoid detection by Duean. That was comedy gold. So many other shows try to pull off a sequence like that and fail, but this one nailed it.
I also appreciated the episode where the insecurity that Pi had built up over many years had realistic consequences, making it hard for him to accept that anyone could really care for him. While we all love Mix, Pi's relentless pursuit of Mueang Nan in the early episodes rang false. Somebody who felt as bad about himself as Pi did would never have had the courage to keep going after a guy like Mueang Nan time after time -- and even continue after being gently rebuffed.
Speaking of Mix, another high point was his OST song. (That's how it's done, Louis. Tell mom and dad to find you another line of work.)
Pond is a discovery. His role made him into a borderline stalker, but wow, his visuals are way up there and he clearly has the acting chops. He's going to go on to to great things.
Phuwin also did well, but it was another case of the wardrobe department thinking that if you make a character wear glasses along with messy hair and braces, you can pass them off as homely. I realize that this is a constant tactic in Asian series but really, asking the audience to accept that kind of thing only drives home how much of a fictional universe you're creating. You can't disguise cuteness of that caliber.
For me FUTS goes into the same pile as "2gether" and "The Shipper" -- a series with a big budget that I couldn't wait to debut, that ended up being even more of a disappointment because of how bad it was.

Pok and Tong, though: yes, please.

That final shot broke my heart.

6/10. And I think that's being generous. ^_^
Holy hell. I mean, really, where do they find these guys.
I love this. It belongs in the MDL Comment Hall of Fame ...
