Synchonicity

Fair enough.

Thank you!

Exactly right!

You're probably right, they're trying to emphasize the difference in social status. But that's really too bad... poor people just have less money, they're not gross! And Sky does have an education.

There wasn't all that much of a bulge there... just saying.

I'm not liking Sky all that much. After his boss takes him back, he goes to a meeting with an important client and eats like a pig in a very upscale restaurant... really?? I mean okay, he's cute, but I'm not sure what we're supposed to like about him.

I cant speak for ichiboi but, for me, I'd say the overweight/nerdy fem assistant who kisses up to his boss and shamelessly hits on cute boys, the super bitchy girlfriend, the trans woman as a housekeeper/caricature... for starters. Not to mention the two leads, potrayed as being straight (with attractive girlfriends) who will somehow miraculously become gay (or the cringeworthy "I'm not gay, I just like you").

Thank you for your opinions and for the kind words.

Thank you for this!

Fair enough!

Okay, thanks for the clarification.

Thank you! Still one more question: if you say "I like you" to a friend OR a love interest, then how would the one you're saying it to know whether you "like" them as a friend or a love interest? I mean, if they responded "I like you too," how would you know whether or not you've just been "friendzoned?"

Hey, a quick question, which has been on my mind for a long time...

I've noticed that in every Asian BL story, when someone is confessing their love to another, they always say "I like you." Maybe it a cultural thing but, at least in the USA, "I like you" is something you would say to a friend, not so much to a love interest. "I'm in love with you" or "I think I'm falling in love with you" is what you would say. (Well, maybe an 11-year-old would say "I like you" to a crush.)

Is there a difference, in Asian languages, between "I like you" and "I love you?" And what if you just want to tell a friend "I like you?" Is that a different phrase?

Thanks for any responses!

Really enjoyed this series! JC (Mico) is one of the best BL actors I've ever seen. Great chemistry with Tony (Xavier), too. Loved the friends and Ms. Tina. Terrific cast. My only small complaint from the finale is that I could have done without the song at the end. I mean, it was cute but it fell flat, at least for me. (Didn't help that they had a piano accompaniment in the background, while the guys sang in an entirely different key... I would have rather heard them a cappella.)

I'm giving it a 9.0.

You and I are exactly on the same page! Thanks for your great comments.

Thank you for your post and your insights.

Wow, what did his parents do?

Fair enough.

I'm sorry to hear that Tony is being bashed. I do like him in the series. For me, I have no problem with any BL actor's personal status -- straight/gay/bi -- but it does seem insensitive to come across as "I just want everyone to know that I am 100% straight, okay?" It shouldn't need to be discussed or defended at all.

Fan service is something I don't like, but I understand that it is what it is. Can't blame the actors for that.

I once saw an interview with the cast of Make It Right, and they were all quick to say that none of them were gay. Then the interviewer (a woman) asked "So, when you have to kiss another guy, does it make you want to vomit?" They answered professionally, saying that it was just part of the performance. But we are still dealing with a lot of homophobia out there. Sad.

You're welcome!
