Not a Robot

Personally, I usually do not like love mixed with my dark content. I like it to stay on topic, and when they add love, it seems to mess things up. I feel like I'm not being shown why Akk and Ayan would ever be a couple. We see Akk trying to do things for Ayan, but why? I think that my favorite BLs which has darker topics are Manner of Death and Triage.

Thank you for your great recap. It let me know to skip to the last 5 minutes. My FF button also thanks you. The recaps are more interesting and humorous than the actual show.

Did they even show Daonuea, Nine and the mystery baby? They continue to subtitle Loadstar (misspelled on purpose) Productions but not the Thai post-it or song. Figures.

P.S. I was kind of hoping for the ship name Iced-Tea. Bad pun, but this show was so bad, I'm not even going back to watch Episode 0.

I like this series more than The Eclipse (puts hands over head to fend off blows). The GMMTV "dark" series tend to get overly preachy, and I feel like I'm attending a religious revival. They don't know how to write for adult audiences when it come to dark content, so they gear it toward the kids. At least Vice Versa doesn't try to be deep. Tun and Talay try to express themselves like adults would. Talay was pretty honest in Ep9. I do think they should show Tess and Pakorn at times, because while I see Talay improving things for Tess, I'm worried about what Tess is doing to Talay's life. Also the doppelgangers are strange because we should run into Puen's since he is famous in his universe.

Okay, I'm thoroughly confused now and my only wish is they don't screw up this beautiful series with a cookie cutter ending, even if I end up heartbroken. Rossi is just wonderful in this episode, as usual. Meen is great too, but Meen is obviously a grown man, handsome, with plenty of sex appeal, while Rossi still has a boyishness about him. Rossi is just amazing though. My heart hurt for both Tiew and Mork this episode. I was literally holding my breath during the bridge scene, scared that Tiew was going to go over the rail. I'm hoping that Mork listens to the coffee shop owner, so that both butterflies can be free.

I love this series quite a bit. Sometimes, I base my feelings about high school dramas on if they make me remember what high school and being in puberty was like. Amagi having mixed feelings about sex is something many people go through. Our perception of young males can be "if there's a hole, I'm filling it" but not all males are like this. I know that men, young men in particular have pressure to be studs, but for both Amagi and Takara to discuss sex made my heart soar. Takara also had his boundaries and well, and he stated them to Amagi. This gem of a series is bold enough to have the main characters holding hands while walking home from school, yet vulnerable enough to discuss things like when Amagi was avoiding Takara because he was afraid.

Swap Test is still my #1 worst BL, but the only reason that I forgive it is, it seems like they were trying to pay homage to John Waters at times, and it obviously had 1/8 the budget of this series. It was kind of a BL Pink Flamingos and Hairspray. Plus it had violence. It was bad. If you want a new worst, watch Swap Test. What the Duck 2 is #3 behind this one.

Earth did a great job in this episode. I've never had feelings for a friend, yet I could feel his shock and confusion when Eiw realized why he has had certain feelings about Cake recently. I know that I would be pretty distraught if I had feelings for my best friend because I would feel that I may lose someone really important. Earth conveyed these feelings so well. The uncertainty, fear, confusion.

I saw this similar scenario in Make it Right , when the character played by Peak was on the receiving end of the confession. This isn't a new plot, but the way Earth plays Eiw just hit me hard.

It's only in Japanese as far as I know. If you can read Japanese, Amazon Japan may carry it.

Rain did cross boundaries with the kiss, especially biting him, and there's no excuse for that. Phayu is knowingly pushing Rain's buttons to get him to react, and because Rain is so predictable, he is easy to set up. Rain is really a caring person, with a chihuahua demeanor. I think it's hilarious, but then again, I like this trope so I'm biased..

Phayu knows that Rain is attracted to him and when he tried the direct approach, Rain freaked out and told him he didn't like him and pushed him away. So now Phayu is showing Rain by not being available, by teasing him, that Rain does like him, and misses him when he can't see him. The whole shop and his brother knows that Phayu likes him, the only one who doesn't know is Rain.

Loved this episode. I'm soft for the bully the one you love trope, and Payu is running Rain in a circle. The Rain character reminds me of Akihito (Finder), when he has a roadblock, he sits down and lets his thoughts run in a circle around his head. Then it takes him a while (or never figures it out) that he is doing exactly what the other person wants. Rain almost caught on a couple of times, but talked himself out of it. Yes, I have a soft spot for Rain. If I was Rain's friend, I would hug and comfort him, pat him, then look over his head at Payu, and smile at him, daring him to blow his cover. Saifa should be doing this to Payu. He is missing an opportunity to clown on his brother. Both Noeul and Boss are doing a great job as the leads, so I'm there for both of them.

My favorite show of the current lineup. I'm proud that Minato finally expressed his feelings. Even though it felt good, it was obviously bittersweet for him. Now that they cleared the air, Minato can move on.

Whether or not Akira will have the courage to talk to Shin about his feelings, is another matter. I'm rooting for Asuka and Shuu-san right now though!

Pressure from family is understandable. I think that having to take on a step-child when your husband did not tell you about him is pressure too. It is nice to see a family series, since it's not as common to see in gay entertainment.

Sorry LoL. The baby just came out of nowhere, so I thought it was a real question. Plus I was being a little sarcastic because this show took what could have been a cute moment, and showed them not even being able to comfort their own baby.

I figured she was adopted. Maybe she belongs to Boat and Candy since she was crying like that. I'm not sure why they chose to shoot that scene with the baby crying so hard if she is supposed to be their baby.

This was one of the worst series I've ever watched. Large budget, great cast, all wasted on characters who were largely unlikable. I fast forwarded through much of the final episode because I just did not care about the characters. My disappointment in this series continued the crap behavior to the end, when Ice wrote Tee the Dr. John letter. They missed an opportunity for Tee and Ice to talk about it and come to a mutual understanding, yet we end the series just as it began, this time, It's Tee and Ice instead of Daonuea and Nine.

It's possible that the had problems, especially if one of them got COVID or an emergency and had to shoot their scenes later. That would explain why X is in voiceover asking for a kiss when we don't even get to see his expression when Q shows up wearing the shirt. The shirt is another reason why I felt they did not settle their relationship while X was in Japan. I felt that the shirt was an answer, but without seeing both actors in the same frame, it's difficult to tell.

Yes, Rossi is beautiful cute. He has a face that will only get more handsome as he grows older.

I can believe they may have talked online, especially after missing him at the airport, but he also seemed surprised by X's return. I have a harder time believing that X would have the patience to not want to see Q ASAP and would not have let him know his itinerary. The personality shift in X, after only two months, would need to be explained. I'm just think they needed a 5th episode or more explanation of X and Q while apart.

I didn't know the owner of the coffee shop is named God, and that adds another element. The other strange part is, when Mork is in public, at the coffee shop and ceramic store, he is always Mork, not Mon. I still haven't figured out why Tiew did not recognize Mork right after meeting him, when they ran into each other. I just hope for a happy ending because I really like these characters. Rossi, who is more cute than handsome at this age, is really killing it with the acting. He can't depend on being overly handsome, but the more I see him, the more gorgeous he becomes. He has had to take on so many moods in this series. I may just be a new fangurl.
