I like dramas that include explicit statements of principles, like support and care for sex workers 👍

Because it’s slice of life and not story-driven, the whole thing is feeling very aimless. I was so bored with the first one I gave up. This one has a much better vibe, though I can’t pinpoint how, as I’ve blocked out the memory of the first one. It is an improvement though. For those who need story I don’t think it will work. It’s just the day to day life of a trio of boys and their handler staying with a friend in Japan. There’s a bit of gentle jealousy, but so far very little high drama. It’s showing off a prefecture, with a Thai slice of life BL overlay. I’m almost finished and it’s very chill. The friend they’re staying with is gorgeous. His rival is very pretty. The rest are handsome. The scenery is lovely. It’s all incredibly laid back and attractive, but there is zero oomph, unless you like surprisingly over-lit NC scenes. the lighting is flat, glaring and white. Whoever lit the house normally does the lighting in commercial kitchens, I think. It’s dreadful. The subtitles are off too. They talking about playing snowboards, rather than riding or boarding on them. They’re more like iQIYI captions, in terms of quality. I’m watching on Gaga, and normally their subtitles are pretty good.

The blooper reel for this must be hilarious: “Stop giggling. Straight face…”

My take on the rating: It’s fluff, but it’s absurdly cute fluff. It’s incredibly wholesome, and the namesake is a walking set of green flags, so it’s also escapist perfection. I don’t think it’s a nine, but it leaves you in a bit of a pink mist, so you tend to overrate it if you score it still drifting on that state. It’s also nicely shot, and, if you like human spaniels, doesn’t put a foot wrong. It’s neither high art, nor substantial. It’s mind-candy.

Mix is having fun, chewing scenery and being gleefully bad. He’s good at it. Maybe he and Neo can tag team against the good guys.

I’d kind of like to know what Fluke’s role is going to be all about. I’ve got a soft spot for him.

OMG I just got to episode 4, where both the friends smash their heads into the wall. I just about had kittens 🐈‍⬛

Ah, okay. I thought it was just Duang’s mania. That’s the one thing I struggle with 🙃

Thank you 🙃

Does anyone know if this is made by WeTV, or just playing on their platform?

This sounds sweet.

it’s also available in Vigloo, which lets you watch it indefinitely, instead of only granting temporary access, like Shortime 👍

Sometimes, when people like most aspects of a show, but struggle with one, it’s not that simple.

What do you mean by top?

How does me expressing my perspective bring it down? If you disagree that’s fine, but my point of view is no less valid that a more approving one, and you don’t get to silence other members for holding different opinions. There’s nothing to stop you scrolling past dissenting views.

Last episode I dubbed Duang the annoying cocker spaniel. This episode, for the first time in my life I want to hit a dog. As someone who doesn’t like inanity or small-talk I keep hitting pause. Qin can’t do that. He can only walk away or issue threats. I’m 100 % on Qin’s side. Duang is a pain. Even if he’s a sweetheart, he’s a nightmare to be around.

Hmm, the “gay for you” trope seems homophobic to me. It feels like it’s suffixed with “but it’s okay, because I’m not gay”. It was the biggest irritant for me in Revenged Love. I’m also thoroughly fed up with the bad communication trope.

I may be developing type two diabetes.

This is one reason why I’m not a fan of these locked in pairings. If you get one actor that’s just naturally talented, like Joong, it’s frustrating when their partner needs serious upskilling. Dunk’s gorgeous, but he’s just not Joong’s equal. Think of all the other skilled actors who’ve been paired with guy’s streets behind. It can be learned. Earth in Fourever You season one was abysmal, but he nailed it in season two. Pond wasn’t limited to working with him though, and we got Reset with Peterpan. I wish the pairings were all that flexible.
