It could be a screen protector that broke into pieces while the screen itself was fine. 🤷‍♀️

How old is grandpa to have a 13 year old granddaughter? Did he have his daughter in middle school? I like the actor (An) a lot. I have seen him in other series and he always delivers! 😻

🤞🥂

I hope BL writers had their notes taken this episode! 😻

Maybe they meant “Khun Daddy”? That might fit better 😉

I like it how Pie and Bahmee became closer. Hopefully, they will mash their characters together and divide the sum by two. For now, Pie’s identity is a sharp worker (and nothing else), while Bahmee’s whole identity is an obsessively caring wife (and nothing else). Nothing wrong with being an excellent worker or a caring wife, but these girls are way on the extreme ends of the spectrum. So hopefully they’ll pick up some traits from one another and come closer to a “center”. Pie needs to chill a bit and Bahmee needs to sharpen up a bit. We’ll see what happens 😉

Exactly! 😂Those ever changing terms! 🙀😂

Shun is such a “cat”! 😂Typical: I can plop on you any time, you try to pet me - get clawed! 🙀
I feel for Die here, but it really was funny, sorry 😻
Oh, and did I mention I will come and go as I please, but you better stay where I can see you. Maybe I will come over 🤔😂

Absolutely! It was never my intention to push you to change your opinion - that’s an ungrateful task 😂
I was just offering a different viewpoint, that’s all. It’s up to you to consider it or not. We all have our opinions on people, places, events or fictional characters - that’s perfectly normal. Happy watching! 😊

If he grew up in the rural area in Japan he just might not be exposed to this information. I didn’t know that either until I came to the US back in a day and then couple of years later I learned what being gay meant. I was around 22. So it really depends on his environment and also on his character and temperament. He’s not very outgoing and very naive. Is it maybe exaggerated here? Possibly so, but I don’t think it’s too exaggerated. Everyone’s experience is different, and I think they are portraying one of those experiences.

It’s not only about Taishin being naive. He feels threatened and is scared, but he doesn’t understand why since he’s very sheltered and doesn’t know that men can be attracted to men. So in his mind his fear is irrational and if he calls the cops he won’t be able to explain it and they won’t believe him. Like, what will he say? “There’s this pudgy uncle who brought me chicken for dinner and has been nice to me and he wants to have dinner with me and is outside my door”? So who will believe him?
That’s what is in his mind. He doesn’t want to call his mom for the same reason, besides, what can she do from miles away? So he calls Takara - he made the right choice with everything going through his brain under high stress. Unfortunately, I’ve been in a similar situation but I was much, much younger than him. And the first thought is that nobody will believe you. So I think he did great in this situation.

I love Cher! I wish they did a series about Yei and Cher. Theoretically, they have their own book, but I don’t think it’s translated.

It feels like they need a translator when they try to communicate. Their styles are so different that they might as well be speaking different languages, and not even from the same linguistic family at that. It would be interesting to actually have a mediator there who would translate for them and the light bulb going off for both when they finally comprehend! 😂

It reminds me of the scene in Lovely Writer where the creepy editor lady insists Gene adds more and more sex scenes to his script 🤦‍♀️ which makes me wonder - are those authors themselves that crazy with raping people, or the editors think their audience is that crazy and won’t buy the novel without rapey stuff? 🧐

I think I should give up on trying to understand the authors of these messes. But just why??? 🤦‍♀️🤯

🤩🥂

Exactly! In what world is it normal??? 🤦‍♀️
I loved Chai Ji Dan’s Advance Bravely - all consensual and sexy through the roof! And then - Addicted that was a complete horrible surprise for me, which I dropped like a hot potato. The thing is - they can write good characters, but then trash them for no reason. Do they think it won’t sell otherwise? 🤷‍♀️

No idea. Somehow, we have to, though! We shall overcome! We have My Stand-in to finish tomorrow and I have several series to catch up to! 😁

I hope so too. I have seen the comments for My Stand-in, and dropped the novel right away. I am glad series avoid these tropes. I honestly don’t understand what is wrong with these women. She’s not the only one to do this. Are they all traumatized or just lazy writing for shock value? 🤷‍♀️Sorry, I don’t want to be negative, just don’t get it.

Yep, that’s why I knew she’d be generous with that crap 🤯
