I love XX!
I think Noble my Love is aweful...

For people who don't know it... here's a playlist with all 10 short episodes:

XX...

Actually... it's perfect as it is. Don't touch it!

I am not of the community, as you call it, so I can't say anything about whether the representation is right or wrong (my feeling is more or less right, compared to all the "if-I-force-myself-on-you-you'll-fall-in-love-with-me-bullshit" you see in many BL stories). I just love a good love story (of any kind), and FTTT is the one in this series. I like the fact that the relationship is equal: sure there has been resisance, and they've been teasing each other too, but there's mutual consent and consideration. And even though there's a (very hot and natural!!) sex scene, it flows from really loving each other, from wanting to be closer. What they should have done is focus the whole series on them and their story (especially Fighter's). It's such a shame that they try to overload these series with half-developed characters, making them seem wishy-washy and shallow.
The ZonSaifah story is cute, but the premise is so farfetched ("don't-want-to-but-have-to-fanfiction-couple-contest-song-what??"). That should have had it's own series too... which I could have skipped... and other people could have enjoyed 100%.
In the meantime I’m hoping for another FTTT episode next week ;)

Nice review:

Can't believe how many people are watching this with a stopwatch in hand to count the screen time of this or that actor... jeez... just enjoy the hotness of a couple that's not awkward with eachother for once...

More screen time for the female lead this 3rd episode, so...

Loving this! Love having to wait every week too, 'cause that's what this drama deserves: to take time with it and let it linger. Ten more episodes to go. Yay!

'5-ji Kara 9-ji Made'.
'Soratobu Kouhoushitsu' (one of my favorites).
'You and I on the G-String'.
'Summer Nude' (with Karina, who plays Tendo's sister).
And 'Rich Man, Poor Woman' has been mentioned already.

I usually like dramas with just one season... this is the only one I want more of... so fingers crossed for season 3!!!

LOL

So true! It's a shame , I really liked how it started. I feel sorry for the actors, 'cause they get the blame... comments like "there's no chemistry"... but I challenge anyone to create chemisty if you have to look someone in the eyes for 10 minutes straight!! Anyway... on to the next one!!^^

Lazy script... let's make them stare and cry and then cry again, and horrendous editing... they should have cut every scene in half at least, the pacing was just bad. Also: why write supporting characters when you're not going to use them to their full potential. Shame, 'cause the premise was interesting, but it turned into a boring mess.

Well said!

Right?! And it's a shame, 'cause it really had potential. Bad writing. Like someone else here said: the same scene over and over again. And what's with all the stirring in food and then letting it go cold while staring across it at each other... and it's not even sexy... and.... oh well... on to the next thing ;)

Thank you, but don't be sorry. I'm totally fine with not liking it. Plenty of other good stuff out there.

Jeez. If they make a show way to long... they could have used some of that time for Win and Team. Why the hell build them up when you're gonna drop them like a brick. Yes yes they might be getting their own show probably... another one to drag us along... This started so promising... but now it's just boring...

Thank you!! :-)

@Orangevine Why didn't you put your answer under a spoiler button, like the person asking the question above was careful to do?
