Not a Robot

The Mew type person is scary because once you hurt them, they will hurt you back 10 fold. I only hope that he realizes that he needs to not get addicted to the feelings that revenge brings. It is unacceptable to use others (Ray) just as Mew was used by Ton.

Thanks for the info. I get tired of the memory loss trope, especially since this couple has enough to battle.

These are some hidden agendas. Joke liking Zo, how Zo feels like he must the top at everything to please his mother including winning the study abroad award, instead of just focusing on the love of speech and debate. Joke has always been raised to feel that he is a failure, so he does things like join the debate to make his father proud. Pok and Jeng being on the low,. We don't know Nita's hidden agenda, maybe it was to study abroad.

I loved this coming of age story. I loved how neither family were bothered about the closeness of Zo and Joke's relationship, which shows a nice change for an Asian family. Also the message of your Asian parents loving you despite how you see your own accomplishments, is a very powerful message for those of us who come from Asian families. We "know" this, but are rarely "told" this. Not all powerful messages need to be wrapped in melodrama.

In case you get hate, I really liked this series too. It shows the struggles that some people go through on their journey to full fledged adulthood. MDL is emo, always calling the waaaahbulance, but says jack $h!t about the fact that neither family is bothered by Zo and Joke's relationship.

In the synopsis it states that, "A twist of fate erases Fan Ze Rui's memory" and "Bai Zong Yi, who now struggles with memory loss due to a head injury," so I figured we are getting double amnesia which for a unusual for an overplayed trope. Usually only one partner loses their memory.

Oxin Films, you took a unicorn, a stable, mature, young couple, who previously only had little spats, and turned them into a stereotypical drama duo. First it was Zeke not wanting to talk about the old friend (forgot his name), then Fifth for some unexplained reason, has a total personality change and decides to mediate between his boyfriend who still has PTSD, and his betrayer. I think what they are doing to Oliver is pretty dirty. We are only on episode 3, so that means 9 episodes of angst, and I hate angst. I would rather have a Chuk chuk is missing episode.

The good part is, Oxin's episodes are very organized, so it's easy for me to fast forward to skip serial dater/harem holder Kim, the loud Jelai, and the typical whiny female Iris, who likes someone who is so mean to her. I know there will be a redemption arc, but GL (vice lesbian) dramas are not my thing because they look like they are cast to attract male viewers, and two stereotypic immature women is too much for me to bear. I think that I'm cranky today.

Episode 1 confused me because I usually hate flashback series. I was patient, and I just love this series. All of the characters have insecurities, even the boss and his boyfriend. I'm not looking forward to the second half of this series with the prison stuff, because I can't help but think of the sister and father being sad, and that Bai Zong Yi will be unable to be a doctor. Also the double amnesia. I will brace myself and get through it, and hope for a happy ending.

Episode 1 was annoying and strange, but so was episode 1 of Love Sick, which is now a classic BL. In fact, episode 1 of Love Sick was terrible. With this series, I like the acting, which is so good that I did not recognize Offroad. I just came here to confirm that the older brother was the same actor who played Earn in Love Sick, and was surprised by the rating. It should be higher.

Came here to confirm that the actor who plays Phojai, played Earn in Love Sick, and found that I did not even recognize Offroad with Phumjai's otaku haircut and crazy personality! Love the acting in this series. Hate the influencer subplot because I stopped having fan obsessions in high school, but we did not have the access to celebrities that people have today on apps and smartphones.

Same for soccer/football, basketball, dance, gaming, make-up, celebrity gossip, K-Pop, etc. I know K-Pop fans of all ages who will fly to different states to attend concerts, all of their user handles have their favorite, hang photos in their cubicles and talk non-stop about it. I also have co-workers who use their free time watching shows, then talking non-stop about them, and try to recruit me, but the shows are not my thing. One of my doctors tried to recruit me to watch a K-Drama on Netflix, but I passed. So I actually think it's normal for people to talk non-stop about their passions, if they both parties share the same passion. I would talk about BL if I could recruit 1 person to watch with me, but so far, no takers. I also enjoy the acting of Dunk and Joong. I've seen interviews with them, and I also saw Joong's ship work with Nine, as J9, and they seem to be very nice people. Joong is stunningly handsome, and Dunk has one of the most beautiful smiles, because his whole face smiles, not just his mouth.

I think there is a back story with Ton and his father and not wanting his reputation tarnished. In the trailer, Nick is looking at video of him and Ton in bed together. I hope that Nick does not use the video, but with this show, it's probable.

I think that Mew will not trust Top right now, not sure if he ever will. I think every character is flawed, just like normal humans, so I can't help but root for them.

I hope that Mew and Top can work it out. I'm shocked that I'm saying this, but I may change my mind next week depending on what Ton and Top talk about. It hurts me that Top feels unloved because I know people in real life who never felt loved by a parent, and it messes with them. Top will have to work hard, and never mess up again, so he can have a loving family with Mew and his moms.

I understand now. Psychologically, Top was trying to resist, but in the end, lust won. I know that Top has problems with feeling unloved, and I actually felt sorry for him when he was crying after his fight with Mew. I'm hoping that Mew may show him some grace in the end, and that he saves most of his wrath for Ton, who knowingly set out to have sex with Top, just to get back at Mew and Top.

A agree that Top was holding back, but when Top went back to the hotel, he had already decided to have sex with Ton, he was just trying to rationalize it in his mind. We knew this when Top did not kick Ton out of the shower. In the car, Top put a condom on or let Ton put one on and inserted it. When Ton was bouncing on it, he did not push him off. All intentional. You have to turn several keys before intercourse. When caught, many men will lie at first to see if they can get away with it, so will many women. He had the post coital regret that some people have. Too bad, too sad. What's done is done.

I hope they all go their separate ways and learn the lessons that young adulthood is teaching them about trust and friendship.

I had forgotten about the shower scene. The video was just a rationalization to get sexual gratification. But as Mew said, he could have been with anyone else. Mew would have still be hurt, but it would not be a double betrayal. Top is so used to hiding his feelings, so it's hard to know what he is thinking at times. Force is doing a great job portraying Top.

Lol, I must have been in a daze. Thanks for letting me know. I remember them shutting the lights off and Zo bringing the cake out with like 1 or 2 candles on it. Maybe I got distracted.

He was honest when he told Mew where and when he had sex with Ton. So Mew had to ask more than once. I don't know anyone who had not lied or gaslighted their own parents, and had to be asked more than once, even a "good" kid. I also know many people who stay with partners who have done worse, like get another woman pregnant, lie 20 times, cheat with different people. I think they are crazy to stay with these people, but I can't run their lives. Except for the secret recording, and all of the fist fights, these guys are not insanely different from people I know in real life. And I would never date anyone like Top, because I could not trust him due to his promiscuity, even if that is judgmental.

I think Mew should dump both Ton and Top, and maybe even Ray who keeps violating his boundaries, but that would not make an interesting series.

Top needed to spill about Ton because Mew is in a close friend of Ton's. Top, could have told him that he f-ed one of his best friends, then Mew would decide if I had trust to continue the relationship. Spilling all of his ONS or 3 month relationships are not really necessary since Mew new that Top was promiscuous when he started dating him. He should have just disclosed the Ton thing, and told Mew that he was being a child because he saw a 2 year old video of Mew and Ray kissing. Since they were not "official" yet, Top wasn't technically cheating, but he was being selfish because Top knew that Mew may choose to not continue their relationship. Mew would not be so hurt if Top had just been honest, and had Top not made a big deal about asking Mew to be his boyfriend. Mew thought Top was was dating him seriously, even if they weren't official, and that must really hurt.
