Just one cringe moment in episode 4: Porsche threw up and Kinn sucked that mouth with leftover puke! WTF! Hahahaha… otherwise the ending is soooo sexy. Left behind by a mile all MaxTul love scenes and the hot icy-kisses of Tharn and Type.

You got a point there. And how about condoms for safe sex. Both are not monogamous in their sex life. These are quick inserts to remind viewers that we are responsible for our sex partner.

Thanks for the info. I actually prefer the changes that BOC did. It’s slicker than the first teaser of Filmania.

Not exactly. I can’t understand how originally secure “straight”characters (eg. Tine of 2gether) all of a sudden let their “Top” boyfriends treat them like delicate partners and be called “wife”. Porsche, though young and emotional, is a strong person. He took care of his brother and solved problems ever since they lost their parents. He’s not shy to call out Kinn’s attraction to him either and challenged the family’s rules since he joined Kinn’s family. So how can he be an insecure individual all of a sudden? I would rather see him call out Kinn’s dominant and overbearing personality and emerge as the powerful half and well-deserving partner of Kinn… Anyway, that’s just how I see it. Won’t know how the writers will handle these two. :D

I feel you. Also upto this point, it’s only Porsche who is open on mentioning “love” between them. So our man Kinn has some more work to do > love then the elusive trust.

The first time Porsche would definitely have bottomed, he was too drunk/drugged and new to the game to have topped. But you’re right, we have to see these couples exchange roles. Like my original fave BL couple Brian Kinney said (Queer as Folk) when he was teased that he bottomed to Justin (Taylor), “Of course! Gay man here.”

Obviously Porsche is unaware that he is bisexual. In episode 8 he said that he never dated anyone. So sex for him was a relief, an exchange of body fluids. So that sexual act could have been any gender but he had never tried it with the same sex before. Only with Kinn did he find out that he’s bisexual or even gay.

Same here. But basing it on the spoilers based on the novel, I think the screenwriters lessened the angst between the two and made it into a more give and take relationship. TV Porsche so far has more backbone and stands his ground compared to the insecure novel Porsche. TV Kinn seems to be in touch with his feelings for his boyfriend. So like you I hope the writers maintain this difference between the series and the novel and build them into a power couple instead.

Episode 7 shows Vegas sadistic tendencies. Kinn is indeed a very strict boss, bordering to maltreatment but he used extreme physical exercises as punishment. Vegas on the other hand takes glee in pulling out a nail or tooth (undefined).to extract a confession. The minor family seems like a happy circle but there’s an underlying menace and unruliness in the family. The main family is colder but has a corporate and professional atmosphere…. Porsche has a change in attitude here, he’s becoming the head of their group of 3. In the future we’ll probably see him heading a bigger group… Lastly, I heard that in the book, Porsche is much more emotional and unsure of his relationship with Kinn. So far, I’m happy that Apo’s Porsche hold his own and stands his ground causing a faster understanding between the two. I hope this remains the same throughout the series.

Season 2 please! This bromance/BL left me wanting for more. The bromance of Ichiro and Shio worked really well for this series, there’s so much undertones of a budding relationship but it’s definitely not the right time to get into it because of the serious situation they are in. (I guess this is one of the reason why some viewers found it odd that Dr. Bun and Tan of Manner of Death found the time to make love in very dangerous times.) Shio and Ichiro’s lingering looks, hugs, berating each other to be careful, taking-up the role of being the homemaker satisfy this BL watcher. It’s the anticipation that kept me fascinated . The ending also give the viewers hope that there will be more for this couple, and hopefully, the next season will develop into a BL.

What makes this series lovable is the chemistry of the two lead characters. While their support cast are the usual wacky, nosy but with good intentions, watching Tae and Singto interpret each of their characters then interact with each other is such joy to watch. All throughout the series we’ll see Phap wear his heart in his sleeve, “charmingly” (subject to one’s interpretation) cajoling Maze to look his way. He’s the artist painting different colors in Maze’s cold monochromatic canvas. Maze on the other hand is pushing and giving direction to Phap’s still water. The viewers cheer with Phap when the matronly, grumpy, playing-hard-to-get Maze succumbs to the kisses and hugs. Singto nails Maze character to a tee. Singto’s Maze might seem stiff and frustratingly stubborn, but he gets the viewers anticipating for that magic moment when he warms up to Phap, then we’ll love his Maze all over again. As for the starry-eyed underdog, Tae’s Phap stole our hearts from the very start of the series.

Hahaha! We can’t have Inspector M there coz M is quite sexy that Tae might forget about Tol.

The similarities are in the quality of production and specially the way it was written. Both series are knowledgeable on medical and emergency procedures. Just learned that the same doctor was involved with the script. So I’m looking forward to how Triage will further develop. :D

So that’s why Triage felt a bit like Manner of Death. I liked Manner of Death and after rewatching it I liked it even more. Triage’s editing and shots are better though and they have to be coz the events are almost repetitious so each episode has to be dynamic. Kudos to the staff, they’ve learned a lot from MoD and it shows in Triage.
