I feel like I have a lot of thoughts today, so allow me to word vomit here1. Maybe 2 weeks ago, I called LXF,…
Im not a reader of the source material or even up-to-date on this one. I’m a Kiwi. We’re very egalitarian, and age, wealth, fame, or social status means SFA to most of us. The only way I’d consider this relationship even remotely healthy is if it’s based on kink, and we can all see it isn’t. I can only hope LXF is steering for a solid victory of some kind, and is merely exploiting the vile attitude of BLQ to this end. BLQ is a twerp.
Fuaiz got to shine a bit more in the last two episodes. The Sunny/Bank role was pretty limited until that last bit, which seemed a shame for the actor. Pu was also a bit of fun in the tail. The only bit that didn’t work for me was Jay’s wrist stunt with the knife. That felt out of character. He is such a rational, measured person. A psychotic move like that just didn’t ring true at all. I haven’t finished the book, but am I right in thinking that piece of idiot melodrama came from the source?
Is it just me or were we all hissing and saying “oooh, brutal. That’s harsh…oh, thank goodnesss, he’s not in…oh dude! no!…ow, that’ll leave a mark 🥴”
Rollercoaster of butthurt…lube is a thing.
It’s nice to see a gay NC scene where the catcher isn’t feminised all to hell, though. I’m over the gendering of sex in gay romances to make it nice and hetero-friendly. I know a huge chunk of the audience is straight women, but we need to normalise the basic, practical realities. It’s creepy to feminise bottoms, and pretend it’s not anal.
the thing that confuses me even more is how old are the characters meant to be, bc the main leads are 30/31. i…
People starting HRT get that in reality, including cis, trans, menopausal, and others with low hormone production. It’s not hugely fun in and of itself. The spots, the mood swings, the oily skin, and the rest.
There’s a major lack of directorial or writing skill/talent in this team. I don’t think Oat can act his way…
Yeah, I was surprised how well the original did. It wasn’t for me. All that kept me going back to it was eye candy and chemistry. The same writer and directors were in charge, and I feel like that’s pretty apparent. I was hoping Punpun would be in this one too, because he was a highlight of MS for me, but no such luck.
Sorry I'm just confused. How can Phatsa not know that ABO exist? I just started watching it.
Phatsa gets hit up for advice by a prepubescent girl in the coffee shop in episode three, asking secondary gender advice, as though he’s a reliable confidant in the area of alphas and omegas, which they explicitly state he isn’t. Sense isn’t a dominant trait of this production.
Is the production company that produced this a small one? Because seriously, none of the side characters can act,…
There’s a major lack of directorial or writing skill/talent in this team. I don’t think Oat can act his way out of a paper bag. The chemistry is being drowned out by the cringe. I’m fast losing interest. I like Boat, so I’ll give it another couple of episodes to bootstrap itself or fall on its face.
