Maybe the wording was wrong because English isn't my first language. So maybe "bigoted" means something completely different than what I thought. But I don't know if I can or actually want to explain any further. I get insecure when people seem to be sarcastic in text form and I'm not sure if you were or I'm just imagining things. "You clearly didn't" and "lmao" are signs to me (be aware that this is only my perspective), that they might not understand me. For whatever reason.

Agreed

You don't need to be young to dislike him. If you have a person in your family or who's a relative and behaves similar to Jim....you start to dislike his behaviour. It's not that people don't understand him. I understand him as well. I know why he acts the way he does. That doesn't make it any better and doesn't make me like him. I like that they wrote such a character who can push me into the corner. But as a person or character itself, I can't like most of his behaviour and thinking.

What else should it be if not actor's ship xD? Haven't seen it yet that people want it to happen. I thought so at first as well but now there are only two more episodes left and I don't know what's supposed to happen that these two guys will meet and suddenly fall in love with each other ^^°. But those two actors are pretty cute together, have to agree with that ;).

Yup! I was sitting here like "What the actual f?! Is he serious?". At first I thought he was just a bit shocked to see his nephew liking that specific boy in this way but nothing more. But the preview was like a punch in the face. He's extremely self-centred but without actually caring for himself. He's inside his little shell, doesn't come out, not capable of showing empathy for others. He's not even 40 yet and behaves like some 70+ people do. Telling you that they've been young once as well etc but in the end they can't recall how they felt or what it should be like when you're that age. Many have felt the anger of THEIR parents by being constantly lecture in a manner of punishment/beating. They also tend to say "that didn't do me any harm" but if you look closely, it did. And they probably still disliked it...just to repeat it on their own children/younger relatives. This leaves me speechless. I know that change is difficult and I still think the character of Jim is well written. But it makes me remember specific people or their past behaviours that I don't want to remember. But I have to thank this series for that. I like it, even if there is a character that makes me feel uncomfortable. The last time a series pushed me into the corner like this, it was Wang's mother of "180 Degree Longitude". That series had only 8 episodes as well and with only 2 more episodes left in MC, I have little hope for a big character development. At least not without a time gap.

Jim is seriously extremely bigoted. At first I didn't think too much about him seeing the kids but the preview made me feel like I'm getting annoyed by his attitude. He seems to improve just to fall back into some bs arguments again. So how are being poor and gay correlating with each other? Need a VERY good explanation for that, uncle Jim! smh...I sadly know people who act as if they care but actually only care what outsiders might think of the family or whatnot. To act this short-sightedly at that age....phew! I need to calm down. I need to think of First's and Khao's acting and also the newbies. Especially the latter ones always give me butterflies and goosebumps. I love them so much and for First and Khao...just can't get over their acting 🥲.

The subs are available every week (so they're doing it for four weeks now). I don't blame the subbers that they can't do it any quicker. I better want good subs instead of rushed ones which are so messed up that I don't get what's going on in the story.

You're not cold-hearted either. Just as Masumi isn't. And you're completely right. Leaving her is not being cruel because...she will die anyway if the meteorite actually hits. And if not, it's still okay! She survived until now and I bet she has been in a bad situation before. I know that many elderly in Japan die alone with nobody noticing it. But he HAS to forgive her because after how many years she finally starts to feel sorry? HA! Ludicrous! I don't pity her in the slightest. This might sound cruel to many but that might be because they don't know how damaging people like her are. And I wish for those people that they'll never in their life meet such a person.

I think you need to decide that for yourself ^^.

This topic of family and mothers seems to be haunting me these days. There's nothing wrong with cutting a toxic person out of your life. And just because you're bound by blood doesn't mean you're accountable to them. Yuma said "but she's family" and I have to disagree. She didn't want to give birth and decided against putting Masumi into an orphanage. Instead she was abusing him. Thus in my opinion Masumi had every right to cut off all contact with his mother. He doesn't have a cold heart and he doesn't do anything wrong. He's doing the right thing to stay healthy.

I want to give you another proper reply to this. It will take a few days because I'm on a trip. But I see that we don't completely disagree and I want to try to make my point of view more understandable. But thank you for sharing your views.

This is not meant to be a personal attack to you but even in your case, age wasn't the problem. The situation was. I can't speak for every country of course but there are enough young people who decide against going to college and do an apprenticeship instead. So they will earn money at a young age and sometimes they earn good money. So my saying still goes and age is or wasn't the problem.
I can understand you though and am in no way judging you for what you did. I still am a college student and quite often feel like I'm just somebody "taking advantage" of my partner earning money or my parents giving me some of theirs. On paper I'm in my mid thirties, but due to being surrounded by many young people, I'm just me and don't care about age. To feel a little bit independent, I work as a coach at university for archery classes but the feeling is still there. My partner and I know each other since school days though and he knows how it feels to be kinda stuck.
What I wanted to convey is, age just doesn't matter. You can be young and already stand strong on your own two feet or a bit older and still struggle to find your place in life. I think this series also tries to convey this aspect. The age gap isn't the problem. The problem is how we perceive it. The only "problem" with Jim trying to open up to Wen is, that he is scared to get hurt again. So getting rid of the past is what he needs to do.

Some people even start crying when they're getting close to 30. I don't know why people make such a big fuss about a number. YES, one day you will feel your age but apart from that? I never really cared how old the other party was. Of course I encounter them with respect but I do that to everyone. No matter their age. Thus I like Wen a lot. He says what I always say: age is but a number. The age gap of about 10 years might seem big at first but honestly...you don't care anymore and it's okay to not care anymore as soon as you reach their age. I always feel a bit sad when being called old. What's the gain in that? When people say that it feels like they want to take value from your life. It just tells you how long we've been here and times flies so fast all of a sudden that you don't even realise how old you are. So Jim might still be stuck in his past and his bad experience but it's important to move on. There's someone who tries to be as honest as possible (the "boyfriend" thing doesn't really count because he shouldn't load his problems onto the shoulders of someone he just started "dating" ^^°). But I also understand him. Letting go of something that you're used to is pretty scary and it doesn't get better the longer you drag it on and...yeah, this is where age comes into play. I hope the best for the two and also for Gaipa. The scenes at the end didn't promise to give him a happy end in terms of his mom :'(.

First is an amazing talent! I'm always stunned about how diverse his acting is. He played so many different kinds of characters; from playful to very strict there was an immense spectrum that he already covered. I really love him!

I couldn't imagine that Gemini and Fourth could be any cuter than in My School President. But this is just SO extremely sweet. I don't even know what I'm made of anymore because I'm instantly melting away when I see their interaction (*/ω＼*)

Ah, okay! Sorry for getting you wrong and I agree. As long as they'd be comfortable with playing together with other actors in a BL, that would be a nice change. But if they don't feel good that way, they shouldn't be forced and keep it this way :). Very true!

They play roles in other series as well. Not always BL and not even together all the time. So even if this might go back to something like "Theory of Love", I don't think they there's no room for them to grow. I think they still get chances to improve :).

I believe as well that Army will be able to do it. In general the characters are very well written so it would be out of character if he wouldn't realise what's going on. He'll make it right :).

And after a little more thought about what you said about Molly, I can say it as well. Yes, she is toxic. She thinks about herself and her well-being only. It's not wrong to think about your own well-being first but the way she treats Nim is just wrong. It reminds me a bit of a person that I cannot get rid of (they are family :/). Usually I'd say "if you can't say anything nice, just say nothing" but that counts for strangers. Molly and Nim aren't strangers. So they COULD say something not so nice out loud but Molly does it in such a passive aggressive way that it turns out completely wrong again. I'm asking myself what she actually wants to achieve. With her manners...she will stay alone forever. Nim deserves better. First having that one girlfriend wanting her to follow THEIR dreams, then saying "you don't love me anymore and you talked to your ex. Bet you still like them" and Molly isn't that much different. Makes me sad for Nim to have a similar experience with these two selfish women :(. (in my eyes they are selfish)

Something about her doesn't sit right with me either. She seems to be like one of those who throw out mean comments all the time. It can happen sometimes and you usually immediately regret it but she just spew out vile without having Nim's real feelings in mind. Is love always mandatory for having fun in bed? The preview for next week looked bad as well.
I just really hope that Army realises that his excuse for his behaviour back then was maybe just to make himself feel better? We don't know yet how he said it but a "I'm sorry. please forgive me" just isn't enough. And you don't say sorry to make yourself feel better.

There are series that I didn't enjoy and dropped but there also are some that I completed. Those got harsh rating so...I totally agree with you :).
