I am totally with you. I enjoy this show most of the time. It is not perfect, there are some illogical aspects and under-developed narrative issues, but on the whole it is a decent enough time-passer. I honesty don't get how this series could infuriate so many people to grudge and even being mad at it to such extent over the weeks. This is just not that sort of stuff.

What a pleasant surprise.

After watching the first two episodes, I have to tell that it is one of the rare cases when the remake seems to be even an improvement on the original.

The Hong Kong version of Ossan's Love is freaking hilarious so far.

It slightly tones down the over-the-top anime-like aspects of the Japanese original and all the better for it. It is smooth, fast-moving, sprightly and visually expressive. The cinematography is slick, the dialogue is witty, there are plenty of smart one-liners and wisecracks, and even the characterizations seem to be bolder and more detailed also. The greatest turn is probably the character of the Boss who is not a gloomy and lonely old chap, but a self-confident, seductive middle-aged dandy and charmer who seems determined to get the boy he wants. Quite a few other side characters added as well, and they are all quite amusing (the bartender and his outspoken sister, for instance).

I am already in love with the show.

Nothing groundbreaking but a pleasant enough, glossy fluff. There are some awkward moments, but quite a few casual wit as well. The contrasting personalities of the 4 guys are amusing.

"His own sexual frustrations and inability to admit that he is gay led to his violent demeanor. Unfortunately, his character doesn’t even note the fact that Kiko said he was raped. It was disappointing to me in he doesn’t care about it at all."

1. Mark is clearly openly gay and his whole environment seems to know about this, including the clerk of his parish.
2. Kiko never told Mark that he had been raped by Roy.

Before writing a review, it is worth understanding what one sees on the screen.

The whole concept was somewhat hampered by the fact that Phuwin was extremely cute and charming with glasses and braces as well.

Kudos to the screenwriter. I love conversation pieces, and this one generally comes up with trumps. Very well-acted and I cannot emphasize enough how smart the dialogue is. Plus the English subs are extremely proficient and versatile.

Not all episodes should be of the same length. We have seen examples for that.

Making an amusingly cute female character like Bam a villainess in the last moment just to create artificial drama to pump up some steam was ridiculous and totally uncalled for.

I would say, yes. But the plot is even more complex than most pinku movies.

BRAVO! If only the petulant children of this board could grasp a modicum of what you said.

I hope you don't expect me to go back a week and dig up how many used the same platitude word by word with screenshots. I couldn't be arsed. Anyone who kept track on this page must have seen it. But I re-edited my original comment, so everyone could refer that precious intellectual property to you now.

That was a quotation, I just did not want to use double quotation mark. And the only reason it is not addressed to you directly, because you are one in a million with this purism. That sentence is far from being something genuine worth to plagiarise. Your stable mates have written it down on this board before you, word by word, just saying.

I see the SJWs are already foaming in the mouth. A clear indication that something really good happens in the last episode. I guess I gonna have a nice eve watching it.

Because you have built your entire argument on an assumption.

Then you are stuck on the emotional level of an 11 years old. Learn some more about life and then you will probably say les bs. And as for "kindly shut up" write blogs if you don't like your ignorance being confronted.

Grow up

A screenwriter is not a powerhouse person even in Thailand, let alone in Philippines. This "and yet that screenwriter used the power he thought he had to allegedly sexual harass three people" is entirely your assumption and is not refelcted on reality. JMS has no such power in his hands, irrespective of whether he has done what he is being accused of or not.

"Obviously if the screenwriter didn't do what was accused, then my comment doesn't apply."
And until then probably less inflammatory expressions like "predator" and like that would be welcome.

I am not talking about those who say they need to break up. I disagree with them or at least just partially agree with them (I think they need to break up to find the way back to each other), and I am one of those thinking Oh is also at fault in some ways, even if to lesser degree. Ayacherry beautifully detailed this earlier. But they do have a point.

I am talking about those without apparent emotional intelligence to see and comprehend life is not black and white.

Cheating very often happens in straight relationships and a lot more often in gay relationships, and they do not necessarily lead to separataion, or sometimes to temporary ones only. Irrespective of this particular couple (I am talking in general, not especially about Teeh and Oh-aew), stating that your partner should never even have an erotic thought or idea about someone else while being with you (nothing much even happened here physically) but if they have, you need to break up straight away and forever is so remote from reality I cannot even find the words for. And people are butthurt for being called immature when making such blank statements. Actually it is an understatement.
