The acceptance of Jun's sh*tty behaviour by both Thame and Po makes no sense.
It makes sense to me. In real life, in a group of friends, they will have different personalities. So Jun is that friend with a "shitty" personality that everyone tolerates just because.
If you think Po is dense for missing all the signs, think back to all the times Thame had to go back and explain…
I don't think Po is dense at all ! He got Thame's signal all right always. Remember when Jun tried to make Po think that Thame wouldn't like him and that Thame's signals where just friendship, but Po knew Jun wasn't right. He was so rational, which I've never seen in a BL before ! I think during this episode Po was too focused on work, he missed the little details. Po needed that professional validation so he was focused on that. But he's not dense, I guess he was just unfocused on Thame's needs. And that's normal, real life is more than our love life, sometimes we can miss things in our relationship, and that's a natural thing. But Po got what Thames needed easily when Thame expressed it, and he made it up ! ☺️
something feels incomplete…they need to say I like you…they haven’t said it yet…I don’t know what writer…
I don't feel like it is incomplete by not saying "I like you". In real life, people just fall for each other, spend time together and get to know eachother better, before making the step of being officially in a relationship, and I think they portray real life so well.
Respectfully, I can understand that you didn't like this one, because some people may find it boring. But why…
I understand. I personally want to believe that Jun's behaviour has a meaning beyond childishness. At one point Dylan says that this has happened before; Jun got in the way when Dylan started to get close to Thame. I think Jun simply has attachment trauma and that's why he's possessive of Thame. Jun, despite being ‘naughty’, is no fool. He always has a ‘plan’ (unfortunately there are adult people who are manipulative because that's their personality and learnt behaviour), we just don't know it yet. According to the preview of the next episode, it seems that after Jun and Thame talk, they are on good terms. When Thame tells Po that ‘Jun said you like...’, it seems that Thame and Jun have had a meaningful conversation. Maybe Jun is just trying to make sure he leaves his best friend (Thame) in good hands ? I don't know. But I doubt his character is so flat as to be limited to an ‘enemy in love’.
I love Jun, it's a representation of Po's insecurities externalised and reflected through Jun, but Po's rationality counters them and comes out victorious. I love the psychology of this series.
This episode didn't have as much romance between Thame and Po, but that doesn't make it a bad episode.
In this episode we saw Po being ‘tempted’ by Jun, who recognises his value as a professional and even flirts with him. But still, Po constantly thinks and acts for Thame. Po has been in a serious relationship before, so it seemed like he's not as aware of the importance of small details like the pictures Thame sends him. It's more important for Po to show off in front of Thame, which is why he puts so much effort into the MV, just as Jun recommended. Jun knows Thame better, so Po takes him at his word when Jun recommends him to make an effort. And Po tries so hard that he misses the small details. But Thame reminds him of them and Po never gets annoyed with him, but rather reaffirms his love for him by returning the photos.
We also see Thame, a newly in love, he has never been in love before so he tries to do what Per tells him to do. Thame has learned that sending pictures is the same as loving, so when Po doesn't return the pictures, Thame thinks he doesn't love him anymore. Also, Po spends a lot of time with Jun, which makes him feel insecure. But, very importantly, Thame never becomes jealous or possessive. Thame respects Po's space and does not demand anything from him. We see how healthy Thame is. He even confesses to him that he was afraid he wouldn't be able to see the film, but they BOTH had their ticket, because they were both eager to be together.
That is the true meaning of this episode.Love is not only romantic love, it is also security, stability and mutual respect. And both reflect this in the episode.
At least this ep made it easy for me to decide which is my favorite ongoing bl and couple, FadelStyle superiority.
I think that comment is misplaced. There is no need to make comparisons or to make any series of minuses. I thought this comment section was free of toxicity.
Jun is obnoxious, yes, but Jun and Thame represent Po's insecurities. His ex not only abandoned him, but made him feel useless in his work and abilities. Jun fills that need for ‘professional’ validation, making him see that he is good at what he does and can lead to being a director. Thame, on the other hand, fills the more human and affective need, love. Both Jun and Thame bring something to Po. So Po must decide what he really values in his romantic relationship; someone who is critical of him so that he does his best at his job, like Jun, or someone who loves him as he is, innocently, like Thame. I think that's very beautiful.
It's just funny to me because Thame & Po's relationship rn, like the courting and everything, it's just how romance used to be years ago... so lovely dovey. But nowadays no one is like that anymore and they will just ghost you, what's wrong with this new generations 😭😭😭
I just came by to brag that an hour ago, I listened to William singing 5CM LIVE! 😁 I will never get tired of…
I was about to comment how you are so bold for coming and telling that so proudly (in a good way) and then I read your user name and I was "oh sure it had to be her" 😂
