I've always known that I'm very character driven but this show has really shone a bright white light into my eyes for me to realise just how much of an impact my interest in characters are.
My Friday show is fine, plot wise, and yet, I've had to issue myself an ultimatum for next week that if I still feel like abusing myself I need to drop, because I don't like the characters. I can't invest in them, despite the actual plot being perfectly interesting.
In comparison to this show, I can have fun with ridiculous plots and wild antics, if I love the characters. Which is honestly, really bizarre. I love Jun and Sorn. I'm invested in seeing Jun grow in confidence and unravelling Sorn's chaos. I'm interested. I want to peel back all the layers and see how they fix it.
The characters are more important than the plot to me 😂
I need to rethink the value % in my rating system. You see? It's not just soft porn. I'm learning so much about myself 😂😂😂
I'm really glad i waited to watch this in my own time. It gives me a sense of control that way. After ep. 6, I would have rage quit right there, if I was watching this whilst it was airing. That's the kind of melodrama I find really triggering. I wouldn't be able to carry that kind of anxiety for a week at a time.
I was terrified to watch this when it was airing, so now that it's finished, i put my brave cap on and gave it a chance. I thought the honey scene would be a terrible sensory overload for me but, it wasnt that bad. It was quite artfully done. The cinematography in general is very sensual and arty and I appreciate that. Rip to the carpet though lol
hmmm, ok, a little bit more promising towards the end. What's the bets that the big bad pulling Yod's strings is probably Sacks dad who just wants to buy up the land.
Soo, ok......this isn't going well for me. I'm swinging between boredom and annoyance. And now, we've introduced an enemy for Jom, and they're going the village idiot route to threaten him with, which is something that genuinely irks me and I can't help but find that insulting.
The moment I read the word 'costume' I really gasped 'they're about to pull a Carrie' ...and yep because of course that's what was going to happen.
But the scene afterwards, it pulled my heart strings, not because of what happened. It hurt because the bubble has finally burst, and Phi addressed his pain, to the person that caused his pain. Tae is challenging him and he rose to meet him like a badass, beating him, even if he's being publically humiliated. He still won in my eyes. He wasn't crying because of Tae, he was crying because the only treatment that mattered was from Tam.
And I feel that, really deeply.
That one scene was beautifully done and has just made My Ex Morning my new No. 1 weekly show. That's a major step forward, even if it takes a few more incidents for him to work through it, it's still the real beginning to now, to getting these two to the top, together.
Because HELL YES! That's exactly the direction I wanted them to go. Tae's pettiness is going to be his down fall later because that act convinced Ge that she wants to help and exactly what I was hoping for, Build your own damn team again. Completely new people, unattached, cant be influenced by loyalty or clout, and that's going to make this journey so much more wholesome and I can almost taste the satisfaction because if I keep reading the screenwriters minds, karma is coming for Tae, hard and fast.
I kind of want his whole team to sink but they're probably going to get a pass and the camera crew. How about they all just suck with Tae together.
Also Yong - like a family huh? Seriously? You just sat and watched bro.
ahhhh, I had to stop after part 1 to come here and comment this - that opening scene, another layer to Phi's character and why he is the way he is. It's pack mentality, it goes right back into school. Nice bosses, teachers, anyone authority, if you are too nice, people walk over you. So you need to demand respect when you are in a position of authority. Compare that with Tae being an asshole to Phi, because we all knew he would, that was the point of that deal, the difference between someone who has worked their way to the top vs someone who has manipulated their way. He thinks Phi wouldn't do the little jobs because HE won't do them. It's easier to just steal someone's shine than to create your own. And I said last week, I hope he didn't take this offer, because we all know Tae is just going to humiliate him, so I fully expect him to be an asshole, but it'll just make it so much sweeter when Phi WITH his cherub faced honey boo get their billboard back <3
My Golden Blood was my highlight of the week. Now it's My Stubborn. My Ex Morning is hot on it's heels. All these 'My's. My Highlights 😂 I won't apologise for loving this show, or any of My Highlights. I started Top Form thinking I won't like it and now I'm just like well, I've found what's going to entertain me until Sunday 😂 most of the time, the show isn't bad, it's just not what you're looking for at the time.
I've just come from youtube where Idol Factory have posted video for Interminable's ceremony. The Sign is my favourite BL and it just suddenly occurred to me that Buddhism seems very prominent. I havent watched anything else from Idol Factory, and obviously Thailand is a Buddhist country, but just an after thought really. That both shows, The Sign and here, Buddhism is a very central theme. Here it's more about community and peace and how, fingers crossed, getting Yo to ground and mature a little. Just some morning thoughts.
Lol, now I'm afraid to go back there and check the comments. But there are a few die hard fans of the series,…
I started off binge watching so I think I've been unfair to a lot of shows in the past. I think having multiple shows to watch throughout the week is a much better pace for me to give me time to breathe. I havent binge watched anything in months now but I always feel if it's a more intense show, I might find it easier to watch a few episodes at a time instead of just straight through. It's a battle with my anxiety really LOL But I think I've found the happy balance.
Lol, now I'm afraid to go back there and check the comments. But there are a few die hard fans of the series,…
It's reminiscent of the first few episodes, just a slew of this sucks lol so it's not so much because we here, it's more that watching a show in parts helps make heads or tails of it, but when you watch in one go, you're a lot more critical because you miss the smaller details. It's like cinema, you're expecting something epic every time. So now I'm just thinking damn, try watching My Stubborn in one go, you're brain will be cooked 😂
I was just thinking damn, Wednesday is going to be so lonely without Golden Blood, so I went over there to commiserate and it was like that meme, of the guy walking in with pizza and it's all gone to hell 😂 I recognise a lot of accounts watching the shows I'm watching while its airing, for every show since last summer, we are all making each other laugh and talking our shit out in the open for some group healing, and then when we all leave and the binge watchers come in, it's like a bomb goes off 😂 there's no decompression with binge watching so the comments just become a Hunger Games arena with no mercy. Just verbal assault and hurt feelings everywhere, and now there's a morbid part of me that is looking forward to seeing this comment section when our little hippy circle leaves 😂😂😂
What I really love about this show, is despite being a break up service, the couples we've seen, break up on their own. With an exception of the opening scene to the serious, Break Up Service is more of a push or a mirror held up to them, and for all the couples so far, it's just shown them their relationship was already done or it wasn't what they wanted long term. And despite the hijinks of the characters, the couples deal with their issues maturely, most of the time LOL
Does look like we're going to have a bit of third party back and forth now lol
Just came from the trailer......so, how much do you think this one is going to hurt? LOL Because historical BLs never end well LOL Or at the very least, bittersweet.
This is one of those conversations where I've experienced both sides of the conversation, and it's just a matter of personal interpretation and comfort. We all perceive the world through our own psychological lens, and we then place that onto the character we're living the story through.
For me, and I imagination for most of us, it's Jun, and my interpretation of Jun is that he's still relatively new to relationships in general, not just gay ones. He's still in that awkward finding himself stage. He's 21? In my experience, people will go through a metamorphosis of character roughly every several years. Our psyches are designed that way.
So this is Jun's first one. He has a lot to learn, and perhaps he's never performed oral before. He was ready for it but we all know how fast and furious Sorn's libido can be, and I did interpret it as taking him off guard. I also interpreted the tapping as code for, 'hey babe, slow down' because that's what I would also be thinking during sex. I have even had to tell a partner once to slow down LOL It's all just a part of my journey in life and I will naturally imprint that on Jun. So I understand the people saying they were uncomfortable because I did flinch a little myself.
On the other side, I have said from episode 1, and I have seen a few others as well, call this show an old fashioned yaoi. This is what I use to read back in the early 00s when the internet was a much wilder place. Sometimes there wasnt even a translation. It was just a scan of the original japanese manga. And some of them were just wild and there was plenty of non-con. I dont feel any of this has been non consensual. It's been rough and impulsive but sometimes sex is
A good friend in college used to ask me to drag my nails up his arm, occasionally, because he was feeling frisky and liked it. At the time I use to do my nails like Druisilla from Buffy, and it became a joke that my nails were the nicest and he wanted to ruin them LOL
Random life story is random but I get it. It's just rough sex in this scenario. In reality, Sorn and Jun would need a safe word or something but in fiction, it becomes a safe expression of wild sex. I would be the first to drop something if were non-con. That's really something I cant stomach and I've genuinely never felt that way with Jun. I think he's shy and awkward, but I've never felt that he was a non consenting party in his escapades.
From the start, this is the kind of kinky show that will only appeal to a certain person, whether they're here for the NCs or just the pure wild gay randomness of it all, and I love randomness. I love ridiculous things. As long as everyone's having fun with it, it's really nothing to get upset over and I dont think it's meant to be upsetting to anyone.
And there you have it, another novel length comment from me on in this section, the caffeine must be extra potent over here LOL
