I'm only watching this for Boat, I don't like either of the main characters. One is perfectly happy to cheat and doesn't seem concerned messing things up for Tee, the other treats Tee like crap most of the time. Every time he tries to do something nice he throws it back in his face. Ugh, despicable people. *Dao is better in the second episode but I still think he's got a cheating heart. **NM, I fucking hate them both still, poor Tee.
Again, chooses a jerk over the better man. I really hate how BL is written sometimes. *On second thought, Koyama deserves far better. Wish the story was about him instead. The fact that I get SLS 7 times out of 10 with BL means there's obviously a disconnect between me and this genre. I don't even like Hira so its whatever lol, I guess broken people deserve each other.
Porchay is too precious, I'm so mad at Kim right now! Oooooooo!!! I'm still enjoying the main couple even tho they aren't as angsty and more fluff now but they earned it :P I really don't like Vegas, sadists just urk me so I'm hoping he gets better - man needs therapy. Pete, you poor guy. I have trouble watching the violent stuff he goes through. Vegas is sexy but man I have trouble liking him but I still enjoy him as a character so I'm not knocking this series at all. In fact it's one of my favorites this year so far. I love the edge, not total fluff (even though I like that too). I do like character redemption so hopefully they are able to pull that off with Vegas lol, he may have murdered the ex boyfriend - but that guy killed Big just when I was starting to like the guy! So I forgive Vegas, killed a killer lol. Its rare to see a BL where both lead characters kill people lol! Need more action BL! Everyone (as an actor) is so good, but the actor playing Porchay really stands out to me in his scenes, his emotions come off so real and for such a young actor I'm impressed. But again all the actors do very well and so far I'm loving the series!
I don't like any of the dynamics in this one so far, things are a bit too unbalanced imo. Meow is pretty much mentally and emotionally a kid, teacher-student relations are unethical if they are at the same uni, at least age gap isn't an issue but still its a conflict of interest. Same with employer/employee relations at the same company. No big loss because it was kinda boring me anyways lol, just my personal opinion not a judgement call.
I wanna know... What exactly do you find boring about So's character? Why is Mon an idiot? And why is Saint better?1.…
1. I hate stoic/brooding/possessive/quiet characters. I'm not saying So is all those things, but I typically don't like his type of character, he has very little personality. I call them Trenchcoats, the either "I'm so cool and quiet" or "I'm so deep and neurotic" kinda trope I get sick of in BL, Manga, Manhwa and Fanfiction.
2. That's why I think Mon is an idiot, he can like whoever he wants and I can think him a fool for it. Its entertainment, I want the characters I like to get more screentime, paired up with people I feel they fit with and I don't wanna be bored by main characters. Mon is a character written by an author, my criticism then goes to the author for writing a boring character for Mon to get with or perhaps casting director since they didn't really have chemistry imo. He's an idiot to me because just like everyone else, that's what I tend to think of characters when they don't do something I want. They aren't real people, I'm more tolerant IRL but in entertainment and with fictional characters I know what I want to see/read/ect.
3. The fact that he's physically more my type is an unfortunate fact that only makes Mon not choosing him even more stupid to me. To me, Saint is a better character overall. More interesting, actually deep, dynamic, insightful, patient, wise, talented, introspective. If Saint was a totally a-hole or a manwhore then yeah I wouldn't care how pretty he is. Looks definitely count, but personality counts more and to me he's got the best of both in this series. I make the same arguments for Tofu, better character, better personality and better looking to me so yeah I'm gonna like that character more. Looks are just the proverbial icing on the cake. And I like it when characters are selfish sometimes, just like all of us. Its that selfless self-righteous grand-standing sacrifice BS that authors with big heads try to pump out to seem meaningful that gags me - its so phony and not very human. (not that this series has much sacrifice, its just another thing about LGBT+ and BL romance I don't like.) Sad endings too - I don't watch romance to be depressed anymore than I watch it to be bored.
Anyways Mon is boring too so its whatever. If they didn't cast someone with better acting, better looks and a character with a better personality as second fiddle then this wouldn't hairlip me. Never make a side-character more interesting than your main, never make a 2nd love interest better than the 1st and end game LI - its a mistake I see in BL again and again and again. Maybe women just have a different taste in men than I do.
Im not part of LGBTQ community but this drama Touch part of my heart and made me sad ,cry & feel the pain for…
I'm gay and yeah I liked the commentary on LGBT+ but hated the ending lol, pretty much ruined the series for me but I still appreciate the great acting even if I think the writer is a sadist.
Maybe Saint should have acted a lot sooner. If you snooze you lose.
I put a spoiler tag, I don't think I really spoil anything but it will at least condense my post.
No, Saint's dad seems to have been against it and there were probably TONS of reasons why he felt he couldn't confess at that time. Then later, when he could, Mon was into someone else. So when he FINALLY gets a chance to confess, he does reluctantly at Mon's insistence because he doesn't want to feel he's taking advantage. Give the better man some credit. I don't mean to sound snooty but I get triggered by the "you snooze you lose" thing so I apologize for that. It's whatever though, I don't consider this a blindside like Teddy Bear was for me (I didn't read the books because I'm American and no English version I'm aware of). Him ending up with either of them would make sense to me but I prefer Saint, I find So to be boring and I just don't jive with his and Mon's chemistry. I have a soft spot for love over the years finally getting a first chance compared to spontaneous love (although I still love spontaneous love). I also tend to more or less always support "The Other Guy" if you know what I mean. Not out of principle, I just tend to like their characters more for some reason. Second-LI syndrome I guess. What I would like to see more of is what happened in I Told the Sunset About You. Give BOTH guys a chance haha! But yeah even in that one, I liked the Other Guy more haha! He was too sweet and understanding, and selfless. Maybe that's why they always lose, not selfish enough. And maybe that's why I love them, selfless people are very attractive to me because it humbles me, I'm sure not as selfless as they are and I admire them. Characters like Saint and Tofu, for example, are special to me in that way. Now after many edits because I'm a typo king, my novella is done so apologies for the length lol.
