Am I surprised? 😻 Are you surprised? 😂

Holy shit! Thank you for letting me know. I hate rape tropes with passion. I kinda knew it would be there just because I read Beloved Enemy and regretted it. That’s why I try to avoid BL novels - somehow, authors think it’s ok to use this trope left, right and center 🤦‍♀️

Exactly! Chinese version is still in “preview” mode there 🤷‍♀️

I guess he’ll need to learn a lot of control then! Xiao Bao is so cute and Su Yin seems to be very interested… 😉

Can you please spoil me - in the novel, did Huai En at least apologize to Xiao Bao for his actions while being under aphrodisiac? Here, he’s being so damn rude. Just for that, I am ready to ship Xiao Bao with Su Yin 😒

Hmm, is he jealous at that point after seeing Su Yin “hugging” XB? 😂

Join the crazy club then! 😂 I started watching Thai version on IQYI and it just didn’t sound right. So when I found out Viki had it in original version I watched the 2nd episode there and it felt so nice! 😻

I know it’s happening unfortunately, and I think it’s good that the mangas and series tackle this issue and put it on display. I hope there’s something in the laws of any country (in this particular case - Japan) that makes the parents who dump their kids on their relatives pay the child support on a regular basis. At least that. Raising a child is pretty expensive (emotions aside), so they should at least provide financial support.

That’s a bit of a wrong equation though: she already had 1 child (her child). The other 2 came into the picture later. So if she couldn’t deal with two more kids she shouldn’t have married a guy with kids 🤷‍♀️ To me, you don’t discard your own kid for some dude and his kids. If you fall in love with a guy with kids - nothing wrong with it, just make a larger family with your kid and his in the mix. But throwing away your kid - that’s just something so low in my opinion 🤯

Nice! Thank you very much! I’ll check it out! ☺️

I haven’t watched the series you mentioned, but I have seen it in some other sources. So I know it happens, but it’s not something I personally have seen (thankfully).

Yep, I love his grandpa who had so much love and patience to deal with a hurt teenager! I, too, wish him a long and wonderful life with his grandchild 🥰

Those are not parents in my opinion. They are bio material donors. I don’t understand how they can dump their own child. Of course it must hurt a lot for a child! I really felt for Taichi. I didn’t read the manga either, so I just hope that Kouhei and his mom will make a good family for Taichi 🥰

Even though I know it happens I still can’t wrap my mind around it. In my personal experience, all my friends and relatives who had divorced parents stayed with one of their parent - mostly, mom. It wasn’t easy, and their grandparents would help a lot, but still they were staying with their mother. If she got remarried - again, wasn’t easy, but there was no question about her child leaving her.
I do know Taichi’s situation is not unique unfortunately, I just haven’t seen it played out in my life (maybe I’m just lucky). So it makes it harder for me to not go strangle his parents 🤷‍♀️

Yes, I figured both parents are totally worthless and I feel for Taichi and his grandpa. It must be hard for grandpa to realize that his child (Taich’s mom or dad) is a scum.
I just don’t understand logically, even if we set all emotions aside - if you don’t have energy for 1 child, how would you have it for 2 kids? Was his mom THAT desperate to remarry? 🤦‍♀️

I know my math skills suck, but how is Taichi’s mother doesn’t have energy to deal with her 1 son, while going to take care of her new husband’s 2 kids??? 😳 Her math is not mathing at all! 🤦‍♀️Did I misunderstand something?

Yes, but it was said that he’s asexual in the first episode, and then absolutely nothing… so really might as well not say anything at all 😔

Very interesting show, totally different format from other dating shows (as it should be). I was not expecting the panel of commentators, but it kind of grew on me ☺️
A whole month to live together is plenty of time to let the guys show their true colors. I also liked that the producers respected people’s obligations outside the show and let them leave the house for some periods of time.
I think Shun and Dai might work out in the end if both make an effort, but it would be easier for Shun to be in a relationship with an older, stable and experienced partner who could clearly see what Shun needs and keep him reassured, giving him lots of love and balance in life.
I am also interested to see everyone’s stories and wish them all the best! ☺️

I haven’t read the books, I watched TharnType a while ago 😊

One of the characters (maybe Vee) says that Connor was also paying for his guy, like Rak bought himself a guy. And Rak responds that Connor bought himself a wife (or something along those lines), meaning that Rak’s situation with Mut is not that serious.
Sorry, I don’t remember the details of the conversation.
I found the first chapter in English, so I can see that this island is where Type’s family lives, and Connor visited it and fell in love with Khom, Type’s friend who Type was apologizing to for treating him like crap because Khom came out to him as gay. So I remember Type’s father mentioned a foreigner who paid dowry for a neighbor boy, so maybe Connor wasn’t literally paying for sex, but instead just paid the dowry. I couldn’t find the full book on amazon, so I don’t know.
And Khom was also Mut’s friend who met Connor substituting for Mut. That’s how they are connected with Type/Tharn universe and with each other.
