I loved KP but comparing it to this is not even comparing orange to apple, but submarine to camel.

That was not rape, it is bullshit. That was a seduction. Bew is still absolutely right nevertheless.

While I am pretty much certain that the ending leaves all 3 characters reasonably unhappy, I somehow doubt it is going to be tragic.

Simply because it would not resonate with the vibes, the general storytelling and the atmosphere of this narrative so far. That would turn the plot it into melodramatic and somewhat clichéd, and that is what this production has successfully avoided until now.

We have often compared this to a theatrical chamber piece, so I would say an Edward Albee-type or Chekhovian doom-ending is more in line and consistent with what we have seen so far.

For instance. Or Wang's face when he talks about his relationship with the boarding school kid. Or Mol's face when she talks about her last night with Siam before he drove to die.

It is much better and a lot more electrifyingly effective as they reminisce than showing flashbacks. The latter would kill the theatrical effectiveness for which we love this series so much.

Ever since the very beginning he kept trying to hide his closed past from everyone, whenever they kept asking about his private life in the past he was dancing around their questions.

Mol: Intawut. Do you dare tell me the truth? Wang says he loves you. Don't you tell me that you feel the same way too.

I thought of a fragment of a convo which has not yet been said from the trailer, and I re-watched it. It may well be the response to how In feels about Wang.

I nearly flipped over myself when I read down there one saying In lived his peaceful, drama and problem-free life which these two just came to destroy. Holy shit, how superficially should people watch this drama to say such things after 7 episodes? Christ on a fucking bike, he has been living in a prison he built for himself - both mentally and physically. That house in the middle of nowhere is his prison where he isolates himself from everything and everyone, because he has been living in constant pain and guilty conscience over that he inadvertently contributed to the death of the man he loved the most. In is a seriously damaged person who has been living in permanent agony for decades, his life has been anything but peaceful and drama-free.

Reading some of the comments here it is clear that this hard-hitting and downbeat drama is really more than what the average romance-hungry BL viewer can chew, who could only digest fluff with rainbows and sunshine happy ends. Thankfully they are seemingly a minority only.

It is not a problem for the 16 years old and not a problem for the 22 years old either, it is only a problem for weird fuyoishis in the BL universe, but it is not their concern. The age consent in Japan is 13 with parental guidance, and even in the strictest prefectures it rarely rises above 16, so there is nothing wrong with what they do, either legally or morally.

Trailer. It looks intense.

No one fully understood it until the end, but that bag of mystery was the point of the main enterprise, and it is hilarious people are moaning for the whole point. They did not understand the concept at all. It is ok not to like this sort of thing, but criticizing it for being what exactly is..? The works of Antonioni, Bergman or Resnais for instance often have such deliberately confusing narrative which the spectator needs to track down, but these folks would probably call their works pretentious nonsense as well.

"the age gap was too big for a high schooler to have with his boyfriend". This is ridiculous.

It never ceases to amaze me that those who dislike it keep complaining about what the entire point was.

There are things like that when some actors look younger or older than their years. Angela Lansbury played the mother of Carroll Baker (6 years younger than her) and the mother of Laurence Harvey (2 years younger than her) while Mickey Rooney still played teens in his late 20s.

Eiji is very attractive but, as it was pointed out by Mieko and Makioi in their conversation he overherad, pretty much in a gay way. His male schoomates might have found him strange.

You're a legend, dea'

It just does not make sense all I can say. If he pretended to live his life as anyone else and not confessing his loneliness from the beginning, that would be different. And like I sad, he practically came out to Wang.

But why would he fabricate a nonextistent gf while he literally comes out to Wang. It does not make any sense. Getting a girl to get Siam marry is more realistic.
