Wow, I was just talking off the top of my head when I mentioned Tennessee! It really is a small world. And I'm sorry you had a difficult time growing up there.
Do you think Adatchi should reveal the truth to Kurosawa?
No. Adachi didn't ask for this power, so it's not as if he's been plotting anything. And as soon as "you know what" happens, Adachi will lose that power. Some things are better left a secret, even to the one you love. No need for Kurosawa to know.
That 1% user who rated it 1 are all evil creatures. (no hate here, but lol obvi these ppl dont watch just randomly…
Agreed. I try to be fair: out of 100 or more dramas I've rated on MDL, most of my ratings are between 7 and 10 (Cherry Magic will be a 10 for sure!). I've rated some really average ones in the 5 and 6 range, a very small amount in the 3 and 4 range.
There was only one that I rated 1.5, because it really was THAT bad, in every respect (and most viewers agreed).
ton is gettin on my nerves arghhh...does chon and his friends care that much abt him to hide who they are? i get…
This is my main issue with the series.
I could understand an adult gay couple hiding their relationship if this took place in some small, bigoted community in the middle of Nowheresville, Tennessee.
But this is Bangkok, Thailand! Yes, I realize that homophobes exist all over the world, but I've been to Thailand and, for the most part, it's a very tolerant country.
The homophobic aspect to TC just seems like overkill.
I've had Bell's Palsy -- twice! -- and got over it both times. They will probably treat it with steroids. Most likely, Tul will have a crooked smile for about 3 weeks and will then get back to normal, fingers crossed!
Just a thought... if I had the ability to read people's thoughts I don't think I would tell them. Because on the…
Thanks for all the responses, everyone! I wasn't specifically referring to Adachi and Kurosawa, as this series is a romcom fantasy and I love it. I also have no doubt that, whatever Adachi decides, he will have a happy ending with Kurosawa. Plus, once they "do the deed," Adachi's power will be gone (and he never asked for it to begin with).
I was just fantasizing what it would be like to have a power like this. It seems that we've all sometimes wished we could read someone else's mind, but I don't think I would actually enjoy having a power like this. And I would likely not want to be around someone with the power to read my inner personal thoughts.
Just a thought... if I had the ability to read people's thoughts I don't think I would tell them. Because on the flip side, if I knew someone could read my mind I would be REALLY creeped out and even feel kind of... violated. Any thoughts on this?
I agree with you 100%. A preference -- for whatever reason -- does not automatically translate into being phobic.
Discriminatory, absolutely. But can we define biphobic (and homophobic) better? To me if someone feels hate toward gays and bisexuals (meaning, "God hates homos," gays/bis are dangerous and should not be around our children," etc.), that's what I would consider being a homophobe/biphobe. That's entirely different from someone who chooses not to date gays/bisexuals, etc. My problem is with the labels. Can we come up with something better?
I get the feeling that this series is trying to bridge the gap between the totally unrealistic"old school" BL -- where at least half the guys in the university are gay and it seems to be completely accepted by everybody (except Ton, in this case) -- and present day LGBTQ series, dealing with issues of homophobia, etc.
The main thing I don't like is how the second couple is hiding from Ton. They've been together for three years now and are the same age as Ton, so what's the deal there? They're even going so far as to use Miriam as a beard. Why, and for what? I could see it if it were Chon, he's younger.
I'll keep watching, just because I'm curious to know where this is going.
not only did Ni & Ai force Chon to come out, but in order to get him to say anything, they attempted to sexually…
I was disappointed as well but, watching it again, I don't think it was a sexual assault. I'm pretty sure Ai was holding Chon down and Nai was tickling him... that's why Chon gave up the information so easily.
I'm not condoning it, it was still an assault. Just not a sexual one.
