7.7 is not low rating anyway.

Feck. This is hilarious.

Leaving the door open for a follow-up, I guess.

Stockholm syndrome is by definition when the hostage starts to develop feelings and sympathy to their captor while being kidnapped. That is not quite the case here. Although right before the graphic rape scene Katsuragi has a hard one in the presence of Yoda, that may well be the result of Yoda's continuously triggering Katsuragi's sexual instincts. That is what Katsuragi says too ("Don't laugh. After what you have done to my body.")

Katsuragi does not start to develop feelings for Yoda while in capture. It all starts once he gets to know why Yoda did what he did and how he saved his life, and when he learns about Yoda's tragic past and similar suicidal tendencies.

I could have punched that fecked up coach in the face. I hope Luke stands up to himself. How many lives these sort of wankers ruin day by day by telling boys like him to stay in the closet. And he even thinks he does it in a good faith.

The entire plot would not make sense then.

Wow. That was a great start. Remarkably intelligent, character-driven, admirably low-key, sensitively acted, absolutely trope-free and done with great style and a lot of heart. The cinematography is excellent too. I am very impressed. I did not expect this to be so good.

Thanks.

Thanks.

At home.

Actually there are loads of well-acted Pinoy shows. As a matter of fact, acting is mostly quite good even in the feebler ones.

I disagree. Their own productions, like Call It What You Want, Papa and Daddy, Happenstance and this one are all very good and they have a pretty rich variety of international productions.

She told it. Director Adiamond Lee is a lady.

Having the benefit of waiting and watching this show only when ThaiBLFan92 has made their fansub version and hence they corrected the notoriously awful official Engsubs, I have to tell that the plot makes a lot more sense now. It is still far from very good, it still looks and sounds like a rather silly amateur production with some embarrassing acting, ostentatious editing and sound problems, loads of fillers and a totally irrelevant subplot about a trans volleayball team, but the central story of Ongsah and North is actually quite engaging and holds one's interest. All three couples are very cute. Guy, Peem, Oat, Strong, Mill and Yang all created lovely characters out of their roles. The erotic scenes of Wan (Mill) and Mai (Yang) are probably the hottest, most sublime and most graphic sex scenes I have ever seen in BL.

So we may need to prepare for that with tissues. From that trailer even a tragic end seems likely.

Somehow cute and likable, even though it is far from very good. The thing that Kaitoon never complains whatever awful or unfair things happen to him is possibly meant to be an important plot point but to me it is quite unnerving.

I judge whoever and whatever I want. I am sick of the back teeth with this hyper-washed out, safe space mentality that indicates to put tags like that. It makes people unviable snowflakes and social misfits who cannot cope with the single sight of elements in life they do not fancy. I hate this with every ounce of my being, I find it very dangerous, and I will vocally protest against it whenever I see it. If that goes on like this, there should be trigger wartnings for just about everything.

Who cares that you don't like characters smoking? Your problem. But people do smoke, especially in Asia. To put a trigger warning for that in a show is ridiculous. Who cannot cope with seeing it in a show should not even be allowed to watch anything, because they are possibly mental.

Tbf, both couples had open endings. And though it was clearly caused by the rush due to Covid, to me it seemed more realistic. Maieak is now waiting for Phob, it is now the other way around. And Shimai and Lukmo basicaly restart at the end when the former returns from abroad.
