Thanks Noir 😉

Oof same, Ximmich says below that it won't happen but I'd like to keep my fingers crossed ^^

Ahh, I was really hoping for this dynamic. Nvm, as long as they are happy :') btw, are you referring to the manga? I haven't read it

–The first thing which triggered this was when Hira said that even though Kiyoi makes him do his chores, he likes it. Of course, this can be taken to mean that he likes that he gets attention from Kiyoi.

—Secondly, in episode 2. He was about to propose taking pictures for Kiyoi but then he remembered when Kiyoi told him not to in episode 1.
“No more, ok?”
Hira treated it as an order as is often seen in S/M relationships. This of course can be countered by the fact that he took a picture of Kiyoi in the final scenes of episode 2. He was too overwhelmed by his feelings for Kiyoi but he still did "disobey."

—Lastly, when Kiyoi tells him not to call him Mr. Kiyoi and Hira replies that he can't not do it. Kiyoi's "friends" don't call him Kiyoi all the time, it's a joke between them, but Hira feels the need to always address Kiyoi respectfully.

I love how they are showing this dynamic which, albeit subtle, is something which is quite unique in the sense that not many romances show it.

—The episode 3 preview seems to be pointing at this too. We have to remember though that probably neither Koyoi nor Hira are even aware of the existence of sm practices.

I am getting clear S/M vibes from Utsukushii Kare and I want to line out below. Not major spoilers

It was okay, actually compared to bl plots it's pretty stellar. But lately we've been getting shows like Bad Buddy, Utsukushii Kare, Kieta Hatsukoi and Fragrance of the first flower which are not just awesome lgbt romances but they are really well done romances as well (many people tend to separate lgbt from het romances).

Compared to these, PWL feels a bit bland. I think it will develop really well though. Probably a final score of 8.0 from me.

Yacht and Yoon look adorable!? Too cute >-<

I'm very happy that they didn't do it drunk. I hate the "we were drunk when we did it and I didn't mean it" trope.

They were drunk but they had both showered and were quite aware of what they were doing and feeling. Even if one of them chooses it to attribute the kiss to being drunk, he would be lying to himself and we all know it.

This might be a small detail but it's quite important to me.

People keep saying that they had the best kiss scene but I don't think that's quite it. Many actors have had great chemistry with one another. For Bad Buddy, the way in which the story was developed, the overwhelming emotions and like you said, a kiss that makes sense, I think these were what made them shine so much. And ofc they are great actors. I love the director so much

I really shouldn't have watched episode 5 yesterday, now I'm ready to give my liver for the next episode and I've never felt like this before for any show...

Moving on to Pa and Ink, I have been regularly posting on the feeds about them and I see what the director did. Pran and Pat need all the screentime right now to develop their story. Instead of cutting their time for Pa and Ink but still to develop their story, he always gives them their own time.

Like in episode 4, Pa and Ink were alone for quite some time during the photoshoot. And in the mall when Pat left them alone, they pretty much had a date ^^ I also love how Pa keeps championing Ink and tells Pat to pursue her. Even if there is no romantic development between Pa and Ink, it's quite evident that Pa places Ink on a pedestal.

The Murder of Snow White was less of a murder mystery and more of a life story. One quote sums it up,

“The internet exposes the truth. The internet accuses falsely.”

Btw, did anyone notice how Miki’s friend, the one she called Diane, called herself Gilbert? If Miki is Anne and she was Gilbert...I think Yuko was in love with Miki. I hope she gets her happy ending, both of them.

Pa fed Ink. Ink fed Pa.
And then Pran and Pat...

My ships are sailing. The home fires are burning warm. My babies are safe. I'm about to self combust.

So this is the show which replaces Solomon no Gisho. Huge thanks to Geo9875 for this.

I was wondering the same, it's weird, and now I'm even more curious as to why she (or anyone for that matter) would apply as a probation officer

Thanks Jessica, now that y'all have recommended it to me, it must be quite good 😄 I plan to watch it after the show finishes airing so that I'm able to compare them

Thanks for this OAL
I love watching mindless gore sometimes but the Death Game genre productions often have great messages hidden in them.

I avoid Sanjay Dutt like the plague so it's not surprising that I haven't watched the Bollywood film "Luck." Maybe I should try it, might have something good in it...

Ah thanks, I plan to watch the movie too. I've read similar allegations against the jdrama version before.

Ah, there's no need to apologise 😄 I'm still juggling a lot of currently airing jdramas and I can't watch Antique Bakery atm so don't spoil the jdrama for me though ^_-

The first episode ended on a really intriguing note, thankfully we only have to wait until tomorrow to watch it develop :)

Dude, I know. If you read my comment just below this one, I've said I'm not even looking out for the bl. But the episode seems to be really leaning towards it and I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for it since this is an adaptation. Gmmtv may have changed a lot. Dw, you didn't spoil anything, just repeated what I already know :)

And we all know what happens when the mom says she's going to get a daughter in law in a gmmtv bl series :)

There's a currently airing gl series, Fragrance of the First Flower, and I'm losing my mind over that one too 😭 why are all the good lgbt series airing now :')

It's great when the rating goes up slowly since it means the show is consistently becoming better, unlike most series which jump ratings. Even Light on Me had a steady rise
