It's a Japanese thing, luv. In Japan, people don't get to call others by their given name, only by family name.…
Thank you for replying 😊 Yes, I noticed that in Japanese shows, that’s why at first I thought it was their normal thing to do. But then Toru and Ryo are lovers, just like you said, and Ryo himself is puzzled why Toru wouldn’t call him by his given name. That’s where my confusion came from - so, Toru doesn’t think they are “close enough”? While he obviously is “close enough” with his ex? It just didn’t feel fair to Ryo who’s not feeling confident about their relationship because of it. I still have to watch couple of most recent episodes - maybe they’ll get somewhere in those episodes 😊
I was aghast by that bitch’s audacity to demand money after the homophobic slurs to her child. Lock that bitch…
She’s always hated her son, so him being gay was just an icing on the cake. It wasn’t like she turned from a loving mother into a monster just because she’s homophobic. She’s been a monster from the beginning. It’s just that now she’s a homophobic monster. 😡
Can we not do this again? People drink and have sex all the time It's fine unless someone is unresponsive. Most…
No problem! 😊 I’m glad you might change your mind about Uea. He really is a good guy! They both are good guys actually, but Uea is very cautious around people (again, good reasons) and King is very playful. Hopefully, they will balance each other out 😉 I haven’t finished the novel yet and I am hoping for a happy end 😻

I’m reading a novel, and while I agree that a novel and a series can be totally different, I think they should show the characters better. Uea is really not a narcissistic dick, and he’s absolutely aware of his sexuality and not ashamed of it. He actually was interested in King when he came over at the bar, up until King’s boy found King (in the novel, it was a girl). So King was trying to hook up with Uea while he came with someone else. That completely turned Uea off. He just despises players (with a good reason), and King is indeed a player. So I hope they will give characters more depth in the next episodes as I definitely can see why you thought Uea is a self-absorbed dick and King is a sweet dude. I mean, I like King, but I like Uea as well and I hope they show his character correctly.
The character introduction was abysmal, like, show me their personalities, don't tell me oh this guy is a playboy…
Unfortunately, Uea does have a reason for his strong aversion to players, but they didn’t show it. I agree - it would be better if they gave the explanation. You shouldn’t have to read a novel before watching the series. I just prefer reading, so if I can find a novel - I read it 😊
so Uea's mom is a bitch about him being gay but not a bitch when she wants money from his salary! #fuckedupparent
Yes, she’s an absolute abomination. I’m reading a novel and while I just recently started, I am ready to kick her ass. I wish Uea told her that her daughter is her and her husband’s responsibility, not his. I bet she just spends his money without telling her husband. I’m sure she gets enough money for her daughter from her husband. 😡
Really, really promising start! Now I will have to suffer every week waiting for the next episode 🥲 Oh well, that’s what I get for being impatient 🤷♀️
Question about their location. They are obviously not in Thailand - do you guys know where they are? Is it China? Just curious since for me it wasn’t obvious 😊
Based on Thai BLs, 35-40 is a perfect age to prepare for your funeral 😂 Remember, in Never Let Me Go, there…
For sure - Gaipa’s mother looks really good right until the very end of the episode when she’s sighing over a pack of some medication. I doubt it’s just an aspirin, so yeah, she’s doomed. I really liked her, why couldn’t she be an exception? 🤷♀️
Those gangsters - they do love their ballroom dancing, what can you do? 😂 Senior centers provide the best entertainment value in the whole underworld! You can even waltz along some march music! 🤩
A couple of thoughts:What's with the "Jim is so old" crap? In the first ep, he claims he is almost 40 (not so…
Based on Thai BLs, 35-40 is a perfect age to prepare for your funeral 😂 Remember, in Never Let Me Go, there was this “dancing club for old people”, and they all were like 35! 😳
Obviously, not 😂 They missed a dude who took a picture in the building, AND Palm running around Nueng for two weeks! I’m not even sure they knew Nueng stayed with Palm overnight 🤦♀️
Almost all BLs are about rich kids at school or uni. I would like to see an occasional series about people from…
That’s understandable as BLs are fantasy, so eye candy (people/style/scenery) sells well. There are BLs that are more like “slice of life” and leads are not super rich “young masters”. I really liked Long Time No See, Not Me, Manner of Death, Triage (although one of the leads is from a rich family), ITSAY (even though one of the boy’s family runs a resort, they are not super rich). I think Together With Me leads are not from rich families either. There are others, but those are off the top of my head. I do like stories about more mature people. It gives more opportunities for an interesting plot.

I bought English version on Amazon. They also have Middleman’s Love ❤️
