Is all of this a ridiculous stretch? Yes. Must I suspend total disbelief? Absolutely. Is there a storyline buried somewhere beneath these pretty actors? Not yet & probably not. But I'm here for it, not mad at it & am patiently waiting any more shirtless scenes they give me.
Apologies but that whole bank robber hostage BS was ridiculous. What a waste. With the exception of the last 2 minutes the whole show was an eye rolling, over-acting, cringe fest. As I've stated before in other posts, the virgin-like approach to EVERYTHING is too much for me & I'm either too old for this mindset or too much of a slut...or maybe both. I know this approach is common with Japanese BL's & I truly enjoyed Kieta, Life, & 7 Days but the over the top inner monologue & the absolute panic constantly drives me to the edge! Maybe next time I should wait to decide whether to binge watch or just not.
I will not wish harmful things on Ji Woo. I will not wish harmful things on Ji Woo. I will not wish harmful things on Ji Woo. I will not wish harmful things on Ji Woo. I will not wish harmful things on Ji Woo. I will not wish harmful things on Ji Woo. Woosah. I will breathe. There will be a perfectly good, logical, mature reason for all of this. I will breathe.
Um, I will attempt to suspend disbelief regarding the Professor. She most likely would be fired & probably arrested in the real world but for the purposes of getting on with it I can look the other way for now. I'm quite excited about Park & Tim. Even though they are an already established couple I'm enjoying the little bit of time they get together on the screen. I think Kim & Mek could have some pretty decent chemistry...I guess we will see. The "MV" was killing me LOL & I couldn't be more embarrassed for them! I think I've hit my limit with the falling kiss. In all my years on this earth never has it happened to me, happened to anyone I know, or happened to strangers while I've walked by. In reality AT BEST you'd slam your forehead, nose, or chin against the other persons face & a gash, bloody nose, or split chin would follow. I assure you romance would not be on your mind. BUT I guess this is the way of BL...still.
My sole reason for watching this was the hope that would happen, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good this…
In The Player he definitely gained weight. Especially in his face. I mean, I wouldn't kick him out of my bed for eating crackers but I physically like the Mek Star & Sky.
Well I'll say it then...Mek from The Player to Mek Star & Sky are 2 physically different people & the superficial bitch that I am was way too excited to have him take his shirt off.
So the ML's are both hot & that is major brownie points. I like that there is a lot of hand holding & cutesiness but not rolling my eyes level cutesiness. I love the support they give each other. I don't care about the story line as it seems to be reaching. I am curious as to when we could get some sort of actual intimacy? Now, I don't need KinnPorsche or MaxTul here because I don't think they have enough of that type of chemistry anyway but a little something would be nice seeing as how they're like 30 & all.
The second couple leave something to be desired. The hair is great...really! But I kinda feel like he's too stoic. The words come out just fine but there is no emotion there. Laundry guy? IDK. I really don't.
one character being practically allergic to physical affection is a pretty common staple in a lot of BL (heck…
Oh I know what to expect based on the country it's coming out of & Japan is notorious for putting out over the top BL's. I liked Kieta Hatsukoi, Life, & the Seven Days series & they did have moments of over the top but I think I liked the story line as well. The stories were always moving forward & the over the top reactions diminished. I thought it would happen with this story line but for me it didn't. It's enjoyable for me right up until the silliness takes me right out of the mood LOL.
I would have liked to see more of Naoya's POV as it's not nearly as over the top tiring as Kota's but it was short lived. Kota's dramatic anti-intimacy/affection is at an all time high & quite infuriating. I realize that some cultures continue to be none the wiser when it comes to relationships, sex, etc. but I feel like a total whore watching this! By their age my virgin years were well behind me, first love had & gone, & relationships o-plenty were in the making. I appreciate to a certain degree the innocent virgin-like approach to this relationship but in no way can relate. I'm sure for some this is relatable & enjoyable but I'm clearly too old for this type of mindset. I thought the silliness would stop sooner but alas, it has just gotten more sigh-able LOL. One more episode will not kill me though.
OMG, I put a similar comment about the hair in a review and then deleted it. Your last line is similar to my motivation,…
When he had it down at the end of the episode my hand was itching for clippers. It's a shame too because he's not a bad looking guy I just can't look past it. LOL

LOL preach! It throws me off so much that I immediately disregard that person LOL it's so shallow & yet I can't help myself. And I don't look at it as a "oh well so & so can pull it off"...no. No one can pull it off. And you're right about Big...I want to snatch that hair tie right off!
