People react differently to different type of situation,yk.Reflex helps too.Why can't they block their own mouth?I…
Ask a doctor, human reflex is the same across species.
Human covers their mouth as a reflex when:
1. They want to throw up 2. They are hurt, like biting their own gum. 3. Prevent harmful object into the body, including dirty air.
Other forms of mouth covering are learned behaviour.
1. Manner. 2. To stop speaking, mostly too late. 3. In shock or disgust, strong disapproval or disbelief. An avoidance behaviour.
Don't you tell me Doc Ji is disgusted by Achi, or that passionate kiss is a product of guilt and regret.
Human body is designed to move forward, not backward. So for argument, ignoring human reflex and logic, I have stayed that Ji would cover the mouth of Achi, not his own.
Can we walk backward? Of course, but a response is like math, like all babies start moving by crawling, in exactly the same way.
What training camp? I don't think they have explained this at all, have I missed something?
Yes I know the one from the novel, Olympic Math.
But here in the adaptation, have we even got a scene with XY in his university?
Anyway, so SP is one of the first to know the secret in the adaptation too. I wonder if they will make Bao the last to know as well. The dense clueless sister.๐
Does anyone know the novel's ending? I saw in the trailer that WQ was having nosebleed. Got a sneaking suspicion…
The novel ending won't help you. In fact, some of the characters there have not made an appearance in this adaptation.
Even the health part is already altered. The underground fight club as well. Entire timeline and the people in it.
I bet you want to know if it is bad end. I don't think there is a bad end Taiwanese BL ever. Oh no, yes one at least, that traumatic series that upset fans internationally and the sequel cancelled. ๐ซข
EP.7 is sweet yes. So overall, ignore the dialogue and we have a good episode.
Ranting ahead, be warned.
It is absolutely fangirl be on cloud 9 imagination about the top bottom. No gay couple would get it hot and then "Are you bottom?"
[Edit: okay I see I'm not clear with this question. Let's not change the original and make a mess. Let me just make this longer here. ๐
What I meant to question is the timing and order of this icebreaking process. Before you get into a serious relationship, you will get to know eachother, preference included.
But here, they skipped all of that and jump into xxx, only to return to it conveniently, in a reversed order. That's what I don't like about it. They are using "the question" as a fangirl fantasy cannon. The question which I find offensive and highly personal. Edit end]
So what If both are top then? Just redress and be on the way?
Omg Two bottoms? Go shop for tools and toys?
Come back ladies, when two guys hook up, the situation will tell. It won't go forward without a match. Sure some are versatile, again it is just like straights, you feel it you get going. Would you go on a date and asked: "would you fxxk me?" or "I will reverse cowgirl on you, how about that?"
And I'm sorry, but those red candles in the bedroom are for ancestral offerings, aka for the deads. It killed all romance for me. I was thinking the pedals must be painful on the back.๐
Fueang's mother is really confusing, the actress herself did not know how to act her part. She was ok with brother's cheating wife, no go for gay and divorce. Now for Fueang, play around and gay is okay, serious relationship no.
This is an anti-romance actually, I won't even call it slice-of-life. It goes beyond real, so real that it feels surreal.
I can see why Chika is disliked as a character. But really she is just a teenager awkward in love, aka all of us (is or has been).
Would I admit to it? Yes. Does it mean I enjoy the traumatic reminder? Absolutely not.
If anything, Hikaru is where this mess originated from. Not that I think anyone should be held responsible, but by being clueless and oblivious, Hikaru is hurting everyone around him.
Everyone is pointing at either Chika or Minami, but really the control is Hikaru. If only he is just one tiny bit less self-centred and look around him, we don't get this series at all.
So, this series is a love-hate for me.
I like that they are doing something else. At the same time, I hate the traumatic experience.
I realized this show has alot in common with Pride & Prejudice (insufferable, rich, hard-working, orphaned ML…
Pride & Prejudice?
I would not call either male lead proud and arrogant, the big brother especially, he even refuses to be rich and becomes a higher class. The younger, in a sense is arrogant, but he is a DIY guy who is not prideful. If you must, he is lacking self-esteem, he thinks he is the cause of their mother's death.
And the female lead is as far away from prejudice as can be. She doesn't give a damn about traditional values, manners, social classes, and anybody else except friends and family members.
Is it just me, that do not like the weirdo ex-boyfriend of the big brother?
The US hottie is just fine, and since the series isn't even about the BL, why do we need a mental ex? I don't even see a purpose he brings to the main storyline.
He isn't even doing his job as a creepy stalker. Shouldn't you attack the female lead and get sent to the hospital?
[This is comment section, so we discuss. I enjoy talking and arguing even. But no need to lose it, okay?]
[And is there a way to remove the notifications for replies that no longer existed? Thanks]
Whoever wrote that kissing scene has not been in a relationship. You would push, you would block the advance, you would turn away and escape. You would not cover your mouth as if you want to throw up, not after a passionate wet kiss.
Anything but covering your own mouth. For argument sake, if you must, the other person's mouth!
And Jesus another Pear. I'm not against anyone named Pear. It is just that, Thai BL authors, is it a ritual that you must have a Pear?
And friends would date and cuddle at that love pier, lanterns and all? After that Pear talk even? You two looks ready to move it to love hotel. Still "friend zone"? ๐
In case anyone wondered, the PC screen at the beginning said "Final test - ๆ็ๆจกๆฌๆ ๅข", "simulated environment (condition) of love".
The AI company is called "ๆๆฅตAI", "ever extreme". Roughly, depends on how the character is used with, it can be "extreme(ly)", "utmost" or the "poles" as in North pole South pole.
Well the technician said ever9 has little reaction to anger and fear, high capacity to love but very little tolerance when loved.
Then they showed the flashback when ever9 was shivering and disturbed by thunderstorm and loneliness. Are you doing that on purpose?
It's a minor thing, but what was said is additional features are unlocked, not that they added additional features with the fix. The uncle even said as an experimental product, too much is added and caused conflict in the system, hence the breakdown.
Yes they said elsewhere in the EP that love caused the breakdown. Not my word okay? I won't defend or attempt to explain.
The scene with the reset is also vague, they said at the scene ever9 would be reset, but clearly at this EP ever9 is normal.
So that scene is the future? Or the uncle changed his mind last minute but didn't show us? And what is that CPU they pinpointed at, a duplicate or the reset chip?
Mizuki's appearance is supposed to spice up the series. Even at the end, wtf with that sudden announcement? There is absolutely zero build up for this coupling.
And as an Osaka food show, you are not even featuring Osaka food in the finale. You need Udon, Osaka has plenty. What about Kansai tempura? Dessert?
And that video call, tour guide for Tokyo? All that for the eel joke? And nothing happened!!! That awkward kiss and the end...
What is the worst, as mentioned by others, is the convenient formula breakup then sweet fluffy reunion. Again, we are not even getting the fluff. ๐ญ
I like the actors, they are good actors. This series however, tried to be everything. Food, BL, drama, comedy, romance, etc. Ended up a mediocre jack-of-all-trades.
This one is no "Playboyy". I like some of the comical moments, with that said, many scenes are off focus and don't add up.
You have Pan's taxi lost in front of the club? And Pan investigating at the club okay, but seriously Khem is the parking assistant, how did he get into the club without passing Khem? They share the same locker room even.
And the fall, the kiss of Pan. The other scene at the back alley is done well, so they can act surely, can you not retake this one? Were they figure skating, with the spin and all?
The sensual rub is like they were making dough for pizza. Spread it out evenly, add oil, then tomato sauce and cheese. The angles, hand and camera, awkward.
That shot, the fall. Too over, at least wait one tiny second please.
And you are at the house of the bar owner Wela? Would you not meet for breakfast? No family photos anywhere but Khem's room? Why hide the photos anyway? And you are too comfortable in a stranger's home Wela, you even peek into drawers wearing fitting pajamas.
Wela's mother not knowing the shift of her son? The shop is their home, how not? And the racecar, where did it came from? They were walking home before.
The kiss is sexy I admit. I did you or you did me? Another good moment. The car is unnecessary however, any wall would do.
I'm afraid this will not be magical like"Playboyy", putting perfume on comb, especially not unhinged, does not work. The MLs have chemical moments, not the combing scene though.
I'm not doubting anyone, and won't analyse your friend's situation.
In fact, your friend's reaction proved it right.
A rejection from the beginning.
Well those backstage secrets we'll never know probably.
Just a bit of trivia, no need to dig too deep into it.
Human covers their mouth as a reflex when:
1. They want to throw up
2. They are hurt, like biting their own gum.
3. Prevent harmful object into the body, including dirty air.
Other forms of mouth covering are learned behaviour.

Anyway, so SP is one of the first to know the secret in the adaptation too. I wonder if they will make Bao the last to know as well. The dense clueless sister.๐
It is funny and slightly sad that to get famous, he needs to use Chinese name in Korea and Korean name in Taiwan.
Even the health part is already altered. The underground fight club as well. Entire timeline and the people in it.
I bet you want to know if it is bad end. I don't think there is a bad end Taiwanese BL ever. Oh no, yes one at least, that traumatic series that upset fans internationally and the sequel cancelled. ๐ซข
This one though, unlikely.

I don't remember Joe though. That show was... Okay let's not go there.
Btw, his photo here is poorly edited, aren't they supposed to PS a photo to enhance the facial features? Not make him into an alien ๐ฝ?
The other way also works. The more 10/10 a series received from EP1, even before we get a sensible sub, the more nonsense it contains. ๐คฆ
Takashi and Aloha have a cameo respectively on "Minato's Laundry" S1 & S2.
Kai is the Ex in "We're Both Grooms".
Ryoga, Shuya and Masahiro have a cameo in "My Host Club Inheritance". Okay this isn't a BL per se. Btw, this show has a ton of actors from JBLs.
