Heon ... dude, why did you just sit there at the table in the library while that girl constantly picked on Sol Yi?
And your words of consolation at the park bench made the same assumption about her -- that she wouldn't graduate. Of all the people close to her you are the worst at being an actual friend.
The little smile is getting a little tiresome. Man up already.
Everyone's acting improved in Episode 6. I'm happy that it looks like the direction they're going is for Bart to have an impact on Bryce's life and not the other way around.
Hopefully Brendalynne will come to understand that she wasn't able to attract Edwin because Edwin is gay. And, as for Edwin, he must suffer from face blindness if he wasn't able to see how her whole expression and demeanor changed once he revealed that he's into Bart.
One quibble. When a modeling job is presumably to model clothes, it doesn't make sense that Bart was going out to buy his own clothes for the job. Even if he was modeling a toothpaste brand or a shampoo instead of suits, the stylists would decide what he'd wear on camera.
What should GMMTV be learning other than the formula used for this series brings in the viewers?
According to 'World of BL' on Twitter, Episode 8 was the most-viewed BL episode of the entire week with over 1.2M hits. The #2 spot had less than half that.
For their tabulation of most viewed BL series of all time, 'Tonhon' came in at #45 out of 135, beating out 'Why R U', ITSAY, and 'My Engineer'.
As nasty as it sometimes got, this series was full of insight into human nature.
I loved the final look at Music and Good ... each feeling the tug of the person they still have feelings for. And for me when Good was stealing a look at those old photos it was some actual proof that he really does love Boyo. We reveal the deepest truths about ourselves when nobody else is watching.
I had a feeling that the ending would have Earth unattached and in a limbo of sorts. What an amazing story arc beginning with Season 1, where he and Sam seemed like the most stable pair of all.
The final lines of dialog of this film are so offensive and bigoted ... and the characters say them with a giggle. I would say that I hope they get reincarnated as flies who meet their karma in a spider's web, but that would be insulting to flies.
If you are LBGTQ or someone who empathizes, avoid this at all costs.
Despite the usual dash of adolescent humor (hot dog, anyone?) the latest episode has been my favorite so far.
The 'spilled coffee' moment was unexpected and very sexy, and I like that Jaime started to show some self-awareness regarding how he could end up causing trouble for those around him.
I think Win bears some responsibility, though. His defenses against Jaime seem half-hearted and in the end he always gives in.
I think the only way this could resolve positively is if Heart voluntarily gives up Jaime for Win.
Is anyone else dying to see that tension between Padbok and Sab come to a head? The chemistry is RIDICULOUS between…
Whether or not Padbok was kidding, ever since he showed that spark of interest in Kit a few episodes ago I've been dying to see something that takes the character in a BL direction. I was excited to see the encounter between him and Sab.
You're right -- their chemistry is on fire, and Junior Ronnakorn has charisma for days. (He reminds me of Hwang In Yeop in 'True Beauty' -- a actor who also happens to have played a bully who turns good in 'Eighteen Again'.)
Sab is a great counterpoint to Padbok -- the kind of guy who could actually tame him, and I can see where their dynamic could fuel an entire series.
In fact my ideal Season Two would feature those two and Thanu-Phai.
The series doesn't seem able to decide if Bryce is a nice guy or a jerk. In Episode 4 he was a complete d*ck but now he's all sweet on Bart.
Bart's makeover probably has something to do with it. As Bryce's own voiceover says: "[Bart] looks really different now compared to when he was in Barrio Balay. He looks decent or cute."
(Confession: I think Bart has always been both decent *and* cute, even when he was still in Barrio Balay. In fact at this point he is perhaps the only truly decent character in the whole series.)
As for the series, it's like there's a good story in there somewhere, struggling to free itself from all the superficiality. But for now it mostly plays like 'Manila 90210'.
I noticed three writing credits for Episode 5, so maybe that's part of the problem.
So many complainers! I thought it was a terrific episode.
But oh no, they introduced something metaphysical! Run for the exits! We want our ordinary BL back!
You people complain about the same-ness in all these dramas but as soon as one of them serves up something different you just bitch bitch bitch. LOL
What happened this week was foreshadowed by the sense of destiny that's been building between Phai and Thanu since they first saw each other outside the cafe. Why didn't you complain about that moment?
There have been near-misses for the two of them meeting, and for once it was rewarding to see a series do something special with the moment when the near-misses finally become a bullseye.
The 'vision' moment was unexpected but well-directed. That one camera move toward Phai and then Thanu was *chef's kiss*.

Sponsors love those kind of numbers .
If you're looking for skin, AJ and his brother were both shirtless in a locker room scene in 'He's Coming To Me'. ^_^

I would never have guessed that such an unusual concept would hit home so hard. I'm still trying to understand why I react to it so emotionally.
