Okay so the 2nd Ep was basically Rain having one big tantrum and I am LIVING for it! He's so naïve and hotheaded…
I think it's a good call you made on the blowing on the neck.
To me I think alot of people may misunderstand the bathroom scene. It's a Dom/sub relationship even if the silly boys haven't spoken about it and clearly our beloved idiot Rain doesn't quite understand what he is entering into.
To me this is a 'punishment' because of the way Rain speaks to Payu. Payu wants him to behave and speak to him with respect. He's blowing on the neck to get the reaction he wants, which he did. Rain subs out and addresses Payu respectfully while agreeing to stop swearing!
If Payu actually was kissing Rain it wouldn't be a punishment, kissing is a reward or actual enjoyable sexual contact. There has to be a line about what is punishment and what isn't. (Although I have no doubt the neck thing will make a reappearance :) )
To me it also made more sense in the slightly longer bathroom scene on iQIYI than the YouTube version. In the longer scene you can see Payu watching Rains reactions and checking his responses. People keep mentioning how Payu is forcing Rain but he's actually watching for signs of discomfort.
Yeah thankfully the shows tone it down, or we wouldn't watch them either :c I'm definitely not interested in reading…
No I think you are right. People just see MAME and then call it problematic but I think they have improved. I actually really liked Don't Say No but saw a lot of people calling Leo and Fiats relationship toxic/problematic but actually they just enjoyed a possessive/Dom relationship. They both enjoyed it, they spoke about it, they continued to speak about it even in the special ep, Leo never separated Fiat from his family or friends etc.
Then we've only had one episode of Love in the air but they called out Rain on his homophobic comments. And people are talking about the Phayu/Rain scene but, and at the risk of people getting touchy on the subject, I actually don't think it's as bad as some people have made out. It's all been from Rains POV but if you take it from Phayu's it really does seem like Rain was coming on to him, then he does stop when it's clear Rain isn't playing hard to get or is just nervous. And while yes he was being a bit of a dick about it he didn't kick Rain out into the night with no way to get home.
I agree, I don't think they will care either. I received a reply from the YT Youku channel after I commented there…
Oh and don't get me started on the finale. It was like 8 to 12 hours long last year. I can't remember the exact length but I did watch a big chunk of it live.
What are they going to do this year. force everyone to stare at their phone screens for 8hrs! I think not

Ah yes I saw your message and the responses they are throwing at people.
It's all the same response ' we are working on big screen functionality', 'sorry for the inconvenience', 'it's underdevelopment'
Like dude if your app is still under development you don't remove other accessibility options and force everyone to it where they can't get what they are paying for you potato.
God dammit. Went to watch the episode and no subtitles on YT!
I am not watching SDOC on a small phone screen where you miss all the dancing. Where you can't read the subtitles because they are so small and I am not holding my phone for hours! I like watching it on my TV via the YT app
I've been watching this show for years now, not just for the Caprains but for the dancers as well. You get excited when they come back.
I won't be watching it this year as I am not prepared to watch it via small screen or on my TV without subs. The bonding of the people is half what I love and without subs I have no idea what is going on.
Be interesting to see if they do take a hit on viewership. In all honesty I don't think they will care
Puen said to him that he wanted Talays real information to fill in the form so they could leave evidence of them being in the alternative world.
The whole conversation they have in the bookstore while filling out the form is about their information in their world and Puen still won't tell Talay anything about himself other than they are about the same age because he wouldn't even confirm his birthday exactly other than to say Talay is a few months older.
The same director is involved with Oh! My Sunshine Night i swear the guy might have some agenda against BL...
I did not know that but actually it makes sense. When I was watching Oh! My Sunshine Night the other day I was thinking how it has the same pacing issues as Unforgotten Night and also the same sort of character direction.
In all honesty I can't decide if it is. Ohm and Fluke are good but there is something missing from the script. It's just not holding my attention like a series of theirs normally does.
Also it seems to be developing that whole ' the two main characters argue for no reason' thing. Like one says something and the other immediately takes offence even if they were getting on 2 seconds ago.
So maybe yes give it ago but be prepared to realise you may want to drop it.

I saw an interview with Fort and he mentioned playing someone several years older than he actually is so I guess Prapai and and Payu are mid twenties.

Talay is in Tess's body
I picked it up from Cutie Pie and Don't Say No. It's a bit like the Red House that's in everything!
