Not a Robot

Kawi - no matter how many times you crank the globe, all roads lead to Pisaeng. Figure it out already.

In addition to what the other poster said, instead of the little girl asking about Yutaka, a school friend asks about who he is, and we find out that Yutaka has moved in with the family. Yutaka and Tane drink hot chocolate and Yutakea reminisces about Tane getting so big, but will always be little Tane to him. In the extra, Tane only uses the name "Yutaka" so we know that he is growing up. I would have like to have seen this instead of Yutaka rolling on his bed.

I watched and really enjoyed The Eighth Sense.

Although I prefer the manga's ending, this was a very nicely done slice of life series. Japanese BL does slice of life very well, and the actors did a great job with the adaptation.

This wasn't as bad as most Korean BL. The kisses had some movement to them, and there wasn't the overt revulsion we usually see during intimate scenes in KBL. I thought the acting was very good. Cho Hyun Min is very good using facial expressions, and can look like a completely different person at times. This story could have turned into a big melodrama about Lee Jun's past, and I was glad to see they didn't take it there for the angst factor. My biggest complaint is, they often used too much lipstick on the Ha Ram character's lips. It was distracting because they did many closeups and his lips were made overly feminine to me.

I know that we have to go through Pat and Put being together for a while. I just hope they don't waste 4 episodes on it. Hopefully they will wrap it up next episode.

There is a major cultural issue as well. Pat lost face big time in front of his work colleagues and others on the set. In Thailand, it is considered very bad behavior to yell and berate another person publicly. Most Asian cultures have the shame factor to deal with as well, so yes, I totally understand Pat breaking down, and why he did it alone. That's why Jeng gave her a hard time in front of everyone as well. Everyone, including the lady knew he was making her look bad, so at least she got some payback.

Thank you. I just didn't want to waste my time.

I haven't started this because I have doubts. Is this more suited for teens? I want to support New, but a fandom comedy seems like the series is geared toward teens rather than adults. Thanks in advance.

I agree. They should have just made a brand new series, with Miko playing a dude named Joe, or anything else. They could keep the name My Story and viewers can have our Sky and Ace love story.

Zeke and Fifth's story is really good. They have dumb fights, but who didn't at this age. They talk about their conflicts and are open with their feelings. Sky and Win are almost comedic in the dumb plot lines, like Sky getting locked in a bathroom all night. Make sure you fast forward through the Ms. Becky storyline too. It sucks. Just my opinion.

Not off to a great start. Everything that was supposed to be mysterious was more hokey to me. The barista with the skeleton key necklace and her strong arming Thana was not mysterious. I just watched the cartoon video of Cher's song Dark Lady and the scene in the coffee shop reminded me of the cartoon. I hope that this show gets better.

Projects from Korea have big budgets, great cinematography, but are terrible at storytelling, acting and intimacy. I'd rather watch a low budget show out of Vietnam or the Philippines. I thought this series would be a nice change, but once again, it was just a showcase for pretty faces. Hopefully they turn it around, but I have been disappointed many times. I broke my rule of watching KBL while in serialization, rather than waiting to wait for the reviews. I got suckered after watching The Eight Sense, which was the exception to the mostly terrible KBLs.

I don't feel sorry for Mintra, except that her mother got sick. She is not in a real relationship with Korn, just a fake contract relationship, and she is crossing boundaries by getting feelings for him. She needs to keep her legs closed and let Korn use someone else for sex. She needs to have some dignity instead of being a delulu.

They obviously did not listen to/read the conversation between Korn and Mintra where it is clearly stated that they are a pretend couple by contract. Even though he had sex with both, he is not attached to Mintra or Pawin.

The Ms. Becky subplot is really bad. Ms. Becky worked for Ace, so why is she still here? That gym guy situation is really dumb. I'm an outlier, but I like Rainbow Prince, and the are just wasting Drake. I'm tired of Chukchuk getting lost in every Oxin series.

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.
