Oh ma gawd...Not again Kuea and his absolutely pointless crying 🙄🙄🙄 And the horrendous sex scene of Diao and Yi . Don't get me wrong I loved the sex scenes between Kuea and Lian, but the other couple gives me serious indigestion. Not to mention Diao's childish appearance and behavior that annoy the shit out of me. At this point I'm only watching this cuz I want to see the end.... Shame cuz this show had potential. In short, episode 10 was absolutely pointless.

No problem:)

Saying this as gay man. I would risk a bet that I can be a good judge of that in most cases 😉 Not gonna say all, cuz people can surprise you, but I have never been wrong so far 😏

But to give you specific examples of his behavior that support that:
Tofu is the one initiating intimate contact between them in most instances, he's the one that takes action, and on top of that he does it in a very straightforward way. It might be subtle, but it's done with conviction and quiet confidence. He doesn't beat around the bush. He thinks it's the right time to kiss Nut, he does it. He thinks it's the right time to hug him, he does it. He thinks it's the right time to be a shoulder to lean on for Nut, he is that. The way in which he does all of that shows his conviction and how confident he is in his actions. He's not meek. He's not really shy about it. If you compare how uncertain he can be about many things, and how decisive he is about pursuing Nut and taking action in regards to intimate contact, to me that's evidence he is the top. Having said that, Nut is definitely the dominant in this relationship, he just isn't a top.

Thanks for explaining. Well, it looks like nobody really knows or cares, cuz their reply sounds more like a playful exchange than a serious answer. But if I were to judge based on how the actors portray their characters, Tofu would be the top.

It's pretty clear from their dynamic that Tofu is the top. And even if it wasn't clear, somebody has mentioned here earlier that the actor playing Nut had said in an interview that Tofu was the top. Not that it really matters, just offering some insight ;)

Ok guys, I think this show is great, but I have a slight issue here.

The casting for Porsche was beyond. Apo is perfect for this role.
HOWEVER, my personal opinion is that Mile doesn't sell Kinn at all. I just don't get that dominant top vibe from him, like I should. He just seriously lacks confidence and charisma, especially in comparison to Porsche. To me it looks like he's faking it, whereas Apo is naturally charismatic and confident. A dominant top should command attention, and not look like somebody who's trying too hard. He's like one of those kids that act tough, but are about to pee their pants. TBH to me, Porsche would make a better top than Kinn at this stage.

And don't even get me started on his hair. It's like please save me LMAO The hair is literally screaming at me. Whoever gave him this hairstyle please stop. It looks like a freaking helmet. Can you imagine the amount of hairspray he had to use? 💀💀💀 I mean he's dancing and the hair doesn't even budge. I guess they left it to Kinn's hair and his freaking sideburns to help Mile carry this role LMAO.

I don't think he is Tarn for sure. Maybe Tarn's ex, or like you're saying, perhaps Nueng's reincarnation of sort, although it doesn't make any sense time-wise. Probably someone very close to Tarn.

"I want to tell them that the country that exports shows about boys’ love, has the prettiest transgender people, and has gay couples as net idols, doesn’t support the rights for those people, as they aren’t truly accepted there." (after the official SUBs)
BOOM! And there it is. What we all have been thinking this whole time...

Well, he openly told his mother. Such a sentence did leave his mouth, no excuses. That's a start.

Exactly what it means.
All I'm saying is that some people are born gay and it's ok. In a lot of BLs the characters try to almost apologize for being gay, they make all sort of excuses incl. the sad old trope of "gay just for you", or "I always dated girls, but now I sort of started liking guys, but I'm not gay m'kay" (yeah, right😒).
Seldom does an MC in a BL simply say: "I'm gay, got it? Deal with it".
I have to applaud that.

Can we all spare a moment to appreciate that TMOTB is one of very few BLs in which the main character clearly says he is gay and it's nothing unnatural ?

The way I see it, Tarn himself said in this episode that what he wanted for Nut was to be happy, so once he wakes up and sees Nut happy with Tofu, that should be it. Please don't screw this up, dear screenwriters.

Exactly. Tofu sometimes does things that are the same as Tarn had done in the past, but his personality is completely different. Plus he would make a good therapist LMAO

If it wasn't for Mickey this episode would've been a total waste of my time. I mean, no Saint screen time, are you kidding me? The only people who are interesting in this show are Mon, Saint and Mickey. Mon x Saint all the way, bruh. They complete each other character-wise, and lift each other up. I'm afraid their endgame is not guaranteed by far the way the show has been set up, but you better make it happen, otherwise I would be wasting 12hrs of my life 🙄

You raised an interesting topic.
But if you're only looking for series in which MCs are gay, i.e. have had more than just one bf, or you can see that they are gay/attracted to men in general, not just "gay for him", then I believe Our Days, His, Light on Me, Stuck on You, We Best Love, I Promised you the moon/I told sunset about you all fit the bill, even though they are also BLs. I don't quite rememeber the plot of most Filipino BLs, but I'd argue a lot of them are LGBTQ+ series. Same with Taiwanese series.
Let's hope the industry generally goes in that direction. The "I'm gay for you" trope is so unrealistic it's just...frankly sad. Never in my life have I met a "gay just for you" kinda guy LMAO. There are closeted gays or bi, pan, poly etc. guys, or guys who are still trying to figure out who they are, but none of that "just for you" bs.

LMAO that's what I've been saying... I mean, if nothing else works, whatever happened to LDR? It's not like he's dying 😉 Anyway, I'm over him bruh... Saint is way better.

I would disagree, I think they both know he loves them deep down, and I think the are also both aware that he has issues.

True, but Saint has been there from the very start. So has an important role in this drama, but not sure if it's to be with Mon. Perhaps. We'll see.

Agreed, I actually referred to the same exact quote in one of my other comments.

Keeping his backstory and activist background in mind, that is true.
