Not a Robot

I am more forgiving of Zeke and Fifth because they are still students, and since they are not the main couple, they are going to get the lame talent show that looked like a 3rd grade talent show. Fifth is mad over a broken promise, I've seen adults fight over more idiotic things. I don't think they expected this couple to blow up and overshadow the main couple like they have. To be real, how long is a young guy going to lay on the sidewalk without someone calling an ambulance?

Miko and Win are the worst couple. I think they are either going to set up Sky making up with Ace or Win returning to the Philippines. I read somewhere that Miko is retiring from BL, and since Zeke and Fifth are more popular, who would care?

Just omit the celery! Celery doesn't usually have a strong flavor when cooked (to my taste buds), so maybe they were making Pat the Princess and the Peal of celery. When we have chili parties, we order a bean less batch too. We don't ask for the flavor to be hidden.

I like both series. A Boss and a Babe is not slow burn, there really isn't an age gap, and the boss-intern dynamic will be resolved naturally, since internships are finite. I think there's less wasted time in the storytelling as well, but the well oiled machine, GMMTV is behind that production.

I like Step by Step because there is an age gap, and both characters are not as open with their feelings. I hate the love triangle and time spent on mundane things like shrimp-celery nuggets, but I think the discussions between the MLs are interesting. The office dynamics are exaggerated, but it depicts office politics we see in corporate, while A Boss and a Babe is more a family style, team office setting. It's also fun to see Jeng in puppy dog mode.

They made changes from the manga, for example in the manga, Yutaka smokes cigarettes in the beginning, but toward the end, his co-workers notice that he doesn't smoke anymore. Minoru's ex-girlfriend in the manga is much meaner. I think they've done a pretty good job with this adaptation. The child actor playing Tane is capturing his spirit.

In the manga, the mangaka draws them right before their lips touch, implying a kiss on the lips. Later in that chapter, Minoru comments that it tasted like dumplings, which is what Yutaka had been eating during that chapter.

I'm sad for Mike, but I watched the old trailer on a reaction channel, since I'm too lazy to sift through GMMTV, and I'm not angry with them. Mike is high energy like Krist, Gawin is more chill. They even changed the glow color of the crystal ball from bluish to gold. I still want Mike to get a lead role, whether with a female or male co-star. I absolutely loved this first episode. I hope it maintains momentum.

Although I think Tommy is attractive, MDL BL viewers are always screaming for realism, and against gay stereotypes, and the fact is, not all gay men are hot gym rats. It's nice to see men who don't look like they just walked off of a gay porn set, or out of a fetish fantasy.

BL from Korea are usually the weakest is storytelling, acting and intimacy, despite high budgets, but this series was excellent. I like that Jae Won was allowed to look tired and worn out, which is amazing for a series with a good looking cast. What I loved is that Ji Hyun would not give up on Jae Won, and that he was open about his feelings. They could have passed on the evil ex-girlfriend, not diving a little deeper into the death of the younger brother emotionally, and the therapist crossing boundaries at times instead of facilitating client insight, but we can't have everything.

I understood this due to the flashback, but it was immediately followed by Pat considering, and probably taking Put back. Like they say, 2 steps forward, 3 steps back. After all the cancelling out, we are still in a deficit as far as wasting time that could have been spent building the relationship between Jeng and Pat. Just my opinion.

This was my favorite episode so far. I like how Cher doesn't hold back.

I totally understand with The Promise! I haven't watched the last episode either, but it will probably be 30 seconds of happy.

This series has a lot of potential, but this episode wasted a lot of time with dumb situations. The shrimp nugget with celery, the MLM subplot, and Put and Pat reunion is just a total turn off. I didn't care for the face mask scene either.

If Pat resumes the relationship, I'm not going to drop it but will lose respect for Pat. This series wastes a lot of time on dumb situations, like the celery-shrimp nuggets.

Another dud out of Korea. When a series is bad like this, I start looking for signs of plastic surgery. I thought Juwon should not have re-appeared. I could never figure out why he needed to return from the past.

The lead actors were good, but this series unnecessarily strayed too far from the manga story.

The main couple is too busy playing Keystone Cops to have any chemistry.

They should have passed on Ms. Becky and Kim subplots, and spent more time on the leads actually interacting. If Ms. Becky rips off her wig and sings a Hedwig and the Angry Inch song, I may be okay with letting her stay.

I'm in the minority, but I enjoyed this series. I wish they had let Frank's military haircut come out from under the wig, and Lee Long is just stunning.

Maybe one of them will sing one of Mandy's songs. This series made me go back and watch Mandy singing, "Only Hope" on YouTube. She did a good job with that song.
