i’ve heard somewhere that there will be a special episode that only focus on SaiZon is that right everyone?…
Yes, the official Twitter account for the series made a big point of saying there will be a Saifah-Zon special once Covid-19 no longer prevents the crew from working.
One of the most insightful reviews I've read on here. Your analysis of Zee's acting and Fighter's character is fantastic. This was Zee's moment most of all, and I can't wait to see what his next role is like.
I think I liked the Saifah-Zon pairing more than you did, but I also think I was more willing to fill in the story gaps on my own, which is cheating in a way. Like you I'm disappointed that we didn't get to see the changes between them happen more on-screen. Watching that transformation is my favorite part of an enemies-to-lovers story.
As for Blue and the team ... their situation only proved how there were too many characters for the story to handle. Toward the end of the series as I watched the opening credits for each episode, I knew some of those people were doomed to never show up again, and it only made it more obvious how overcrowded the cast was.
Yeah, it's pathetic. On Twitter people are posting and reposting the shot of the two of them on the couch with…
We're not asking for a lot of sexy scenes. We'd like to see some kisses that look vaguely romantic or even just see them holding hands -- something that denotes there's more there than bromance.
I think the best kiss in the series so far was when Sarawat kissed Tine during the music club's orientation ceremony.
Does Tine think boyfriends just sleep side by side, a platonic relationship for the rest of their lives?? Guys…
Yeah, it's pathetic. On Twitter people are posting and reposting the shot of the two of them on the couch with Sarawat's arms around Tine, like it's this huge breakthrough in BL history, while over on another series (Why R U) Saifah and Zon are doing what two guys *really* do after their attraction and desire has been building up for weeks --they make out like crazy.
For that couch scene, after years of yearning followed by weeks of suppressed desire, Sarawat would have been fully aroused as he hugged Tine and pressed against him from behind. And Tine would have felt it and responded in kind.
Alas, though, GMMTV would rather have us believe in a fantasy scenario where teenage boys don't get horny.
I'm losing faith that this series will feature any true intimacy between the leads, or even be willing to allude to it happening off-screen. I mean, in Ep10 they fall into bed together fully clothed and are then shown the next morning still fully clothed with not a hair out of place.
I'd felt going into this episode that it was a make-or-break situation. I thought if they get through this ep without even a real kiss between Sarawat and Tine, then it's very possible that we won't see *any* intimacy beyond the little pecks we've seen so far.
I want to blame GMMTV since they're known to be such prudes about BL, but it might also be due to a request by the actors themselves or their management. All I know is that it's disappointing.
Whenever something gets left out like those results from the final match, I wonder if the footage might have turned out too unsatisfactory to be included, and it was too late or too expensive to refilm.
Because it really does seem like an odd thing not to show, especially if the character had been working toward that goal throughout the series.
In the preview for episode 16 it shows a lady telling Seo Ri that it’s her fault that her aunt abandoned her.…
It's been a while since I watched so I might be wrong, but I seem to remember that some of the previews end up previewing stuff that doesn't come up for another two or three episodes.
I am only in ep 5. Why was she acting like an 11 year old? 17 year olds are not to naive, they do not scream,…
It's uncanny - I could have written your comment, word for word for word!
It's like all these people forgot what it's like to be 17 years old. For them it's "act like you're being electrocuted every time you speak or react to something."
The FL's performance tried my patience for the entire first half of the series. It's not until it's about halfway through that she starts to settle down and be more mature (but even then she still has her moments of absurd reactions.)
Not only is it an inaccurate portrayal of a 17yo girl, it makes it difficult to believe that the ML would fall in love with her unless he's into underage girls, and we just don't want to go there.
I'm about halfway through the series and I have to say that for me the most interesting character is Baek Kyung. It's evident that he's slowly changing, and when he's on screen I'm eager to find out what he will do next.
Meanwhile I don't give two figs about Nam Joo and Joo Da (so far she's especially two-dimensional, just like a run-of-the-mill comic book character), and I kinda wish Ha Ru had more going on so I could understand why Dan Oh is so obsessed with him. I don't know how she can be so blind to the changes in her "fiance" and not wonder what he's going through instead.
For me, it's the opposite. Fighter and Tutor may have chemistry, but I have totally lost the zeal to watch WRU?…
I think the chemistry between them is fine, but I also think a lot of fans project their obsession with Bright onto the relationship between Sarawat and Tine. I really enjoy the series but it always seems evident to me that Bright and Win are two straight guys playing gay roles. There's just a certain something missing.
Could you pls spoil me on the bl plot line as much as you can pls
Ok, here goes!
Earth and Stud know each other from their school days. Back then, Stud was openly gay and somehow (I can't recall the details atm) he realized that Earth is gay too, and they became best friends. (I also can't remember if they slept together back then ... damn ... but you get the jist.)
When the series takes place they're both working at the same company. Earth is in a management position while Stud is one of the employees.
In their personal lives Stud is a tomcat who sleeps around a lot while Earth is in a relationship with Sam, who's a doctor. Earth is VERY committed to the relationship and values trust and honesty to the utmost. He and Sam are very happy together, and Earth himself is an upbeat, happy guy who is well-liked at work and with his friends.
As things happen, Stud ends up needing a place to stay, and temporarily moves in with Earth and Sam.
You can probably guess what happens. Stud grows rather envious of Earth and Sam's relationship. He has always given off the vibe of being secretly in love with Earth anyway, and in his mind this somehow makes him feel more and more drawn to Sam. It's as though conquering Sam will give him something from Earth that nobody else can have.
Eventually, circumstances get to where Stud and Sam go out drinking together. (I vaguely remember that Earth and Sam had a fight.) Sam gets drunk and the two of them hook up.
It takes a while, but eventually Earth finds out what happened. The scenario where he discovers the truth is very dramatic, taking place at Stud's birthday party. Earth confronts Stud and Sam in front of all of the other guests.
Earth is devastated of course, and he stops showing any feelings for Sam and outright rejects Stud. He becomes a different person -- cold and unapproachable. He even tries hooking up with another guy, but there are limits to how much he can compromise his values and he can't bring himself to go through with it.
Stud moves out of Earth and Sam's apartment, and Sam eventually moves out too. Stud keeps trying to make amends but Earth won't accept any apology. He becomes really vicious towards Stud, while Stud (realizing that his friendship with Earth had been even more important than he thought) becomes more and more desperate to repair their relationship. But Earth won't have any of it.
Sam is also remorseful, of course. He keeps trying to reconcile with Earth, but Earth just continues to torture him emotionally at every turn. With noplace else to go, at night he ends up sleeping at the hospital.
The company where Earth and Stud work has to lay off some of the staff, and Stud is convinced that Earth will include him on that list in order to get revenge, but in a twist, Earth gives up his own job and spares Stud. Stud thinks this is a sign that he's being forgiven, but Earth just lets him know that he wanted to let Stud see how much he's ruined Earth's life, to the point that Earth would even give up the job he loves.
Eventually, Earth comes to forgive Sam and the two of them reconcile, thanks to an older gay man who's been in his own relationship for many years and has experienced similar issues with his boyfriend. He gives Earth some advice that finally allows him to give Sam another chance.
At the end of the series Earth and Sam are back together, but the relationship with Stud is still broken with no sign of repair. However, Stud has been changed by the experience. He ends up in a relationship with an intern from the company where he and Earth worked.
This brings up the question of what will happen in Season 2... will Earth and Sam continue to rebuild their relationship, and will Earth and Stud ever reconcile? I'm eager to find out.
I hope this wasn't too detailed for you. I just couldn't stop myself haha.

Wholesome shouldn't have to mean sterile.

The sense of realism is on point, too. Maybe it has to do with the filming style.
Anyway, I'm really excited to complete this one.
Because it really does seem like an odd thing not to show, especially if the character had been working toward that goal throughout the series.
And those two little clumps of hair that are dyed red ... such a cute detail.
I love the enemies-to-lovers trope and this sounds like a good go at it.
