So as it seems at this stage, the stranger game of Mon and Mork were playing with Tiew inadvertently caused one of their death. Yet it is still not revealed whether Mork or Mon died. The last scene with Mork/Mon in the car suggests a car accident.

No that I care much if a guy is feminine or not, but actually Mike Lin made more feminine Jerry than Chiu Mu Han does. I love them both btw.
(It is interesting to watch the video also where Yeh Yung-Chih's mom speaks on the Taiwan pride. The show's OST "It's OK" is clearly inspired by her speech. Some of her expressions were taken in directly to the lyrics. Amazing woman).

Seriously it is getting increasingly annoying to read the endless whining about this show being confusing. Yeah, it is a deliberately mysterious and confusing puzzle piece which keeps using heavy symbolism, metaphors, ambiguous allusions, unusual twists, hidden meanings, cross references and deliberately baffling and complex narrative turns.

The entire point of the series is to make you create theories, use your brain and imagination and try to unfold the mystery from the traces it sprinkles at you step by step. That is the very essence of this kind of entertainment.

If you cannot live without linear storytelling and spoon-feeding scripts, then this show is probably not for you, but that is your problem and not the fault of the show. Being pissed that a show apparently determined to be a confusing puzzle piece actually confuses and puzzles is pointless, makes no sense and very immature. Just like complaining that you you don't know who the killer is in a detective thriller or that you see violence in an action movie.

He is different in a way that he is American-minded in Taiwan. He is different as a foreigner not as a queer.

I suggest you to consult with gays. As one of them, I can assure you spontaineous morning fuck with morning breath between guys is more common than what you think.

It is not true that Damian sweeps the possibility of having another kid with Jerry away. He came up with the financial situation only to demonstrate that it was not the best timing for that. He was honest and told Jerry frankly that he does not really want another kid atm, but he made sure if that is what Jerry really wanted he was willing to go with his plan. His problem is that he finds that at this stage this is more like the outcome of Jerry's parents constant nagging than what Jerry really wants, and Damian feels Jerry is trying to appease his parents, and he is not entirely wrong about this.

And he only backtracked right after then, because the Pans cornered him in an extremely uncomfortable and pushy way. He finds the reasoning about the importance of preserving Jerry's bloodline and the heist book both rather ancient and what is more important fairly disrespectful towards Kai, rendering him to be somehow not the real grandchild, someone who is secondary in a way. And Damian actually has a point. Very much.

Damian also supported Jerry in a lot of ways. He agreed to send Kai to kindergarten even if he thought it was too early, but he knew he owed that to his partner. He was also ready to pose as a friend, at least not to tell Jerry's parents about them for years, despite him being totally out of the closet, just because Jerry was not ready. He obviously had guilty conscience not to be Jimmy's side and he wanted to keep him by his side ever since he came to Taiwan, but he tried to be considerate and see what may upset Jerry.

Damian made his mistakes, but on the whole he has always been a caring and considerate partner for Jerry. The frightfully one-sided and very iniquitous, black and white Damian-bashing started to get on my nerves, but I don't know why am I surprised, I should know this board better.

I don't know when but Rex texted me happily that GagaOOLala has accepted the uncut first season into their assortment.

So far he is not drinking more than anyone else around him.

In nearly evereywhere in the world it is not, and in Italy where the movie is set it is not either.

She is prejudiced against Jimmy both for his gay father and for him being from the US, basically for being a foreigner, so she is not only homophobic but also xenophobic. She shouts Jimmy's hair down because he dares to open his mouth in English after being in Taiwan for 3 months. She makes homophobic remarks at Damien as him being a negative influence on his son. She lectures him about how to bring Jimmy up and what Damian should refrain from in his private life. She also freaks out that Jimmy might date some girl from the same class because it is allegedly not allowed in her class, where she obviously wants to preserve the puritan atmosphere of the 1700s. She also expounds in disgust that Jimmy tried to raise openness and awareness among his classmates about the importance of daring to come out instead of encouraging potentially LGBTQ kids to stay in the closet as deep as possible and just shut the fuck up. Sure, Damian should have possibly waited until she suggests him to go to conversion therapy. I would have kicked that bitch out of the closed window straight away, but for some 'allies' (megalol) there's nothing wrong with this teacher. This show is certainly better off without some viewers.

I completely agree with you. The reason it pissed off so many butthurt gatekeepers is a plus.

When Sasiwimol told In the story of the last night she saw Siam, that she knew what the reason was for their divorce, and Siam's reaction as he run away and quickly after died in an accident was pretty much that Sasiwimol wanted to tell him she knew he was gay. She probably suspected a liaison between him and In too, but she is in denial or she escapes back to her fantasy world, where she likes to escape to, especially when the reality is not pretty (quoted from her).

Yes, he was, and 17 is not underage.

Elio was not underage either.

How do you mean "secretly in love with for 20 years"? Do you mean that they kept it as secret? Because I am pretty sure it was not one-sided and that they had a love affair at least before Sasiwimol came.

This reminds me also a theatrical play in many respects - to the works of Edward Albee in particular - but I strongly disagree that it is stagey or looks like a photographed play. It is extremely and very professionally cinematic.

I know Charley's Aunt (the musical version too), but that one is a completely different, cross-dressing comedy and so far not even remotely reminds me of this one.

Goodbye Charlie is a very similar plot. A womanizing Casanova who notoriously treats his lovers badly wakes up as a glamorous woman. Vincente Minnelli made a movie version of that in 1964 with Debbie Reynolds, Tony Curtis and Pat Boone.

It reminds me of George Axelrod's Goodbye Charlie, if you happen to know the stage play, but with the sex change the other way around.

Actually I have had another hunch. His panicking in that erotic scene came when he recalled his numerous sexual interactions with Nott while the public is convinced he is still virgin, and the memories of all sponsors and other moguls making sexual advances to him which he had to endure came into his mind at once. It could have been too much.

If it was just trying to get famous through BL industry he would not have had a continuous and secret love affair with Nott.
