Again, I'm right there with ya! But, remember, the "age-thing" seems to be a dominant theme in this series.. lol…
Hmmmmm, indeed! (Lol.) For me, the weirdest part of the age thing for Blue/Dew is that 17 to 26 is really a world apart. (Plus, 17 is not of age, even in Thailand... I'm pretty sure.) Once someone is at a certain age (say, 22 or older), then I don't think an age gap is that big of a deal. Just my opinion.
Dew/Blue is kind of odd. The story went from Dew behaving like a total ass, to suddenly acting sweet and like a boyfriend. Okay, I realize there was an issue with filming and all... I guess they didn't get around to filming the part where Dew and Blue became more friendly. (Or maybe they never planned to include that at all, who knows?)
Still, the age difference is a little off-putting. The actor that plays Blue is 17 and the actor that plays Dew is 26. (Doesn't help that Blue looks 14.) Age differences generally don't bother me, but Blue doesn't even look old enough to be a university student, while Dew looks like he may have already graduated. (And, based on their actual ages, that's realistic.)
Okay, I'll definitely cut this series some slack, due to the COVID situation. As for this episode:
Wow, Zee was great in the opening scene! I don't get Blue and Dew. Unless I missed something, Dew has been nothing but an ass to Blue. Now, suddenly, he's all sweet and boyfriendy?
Tutor goes from "I'm going to sacrifice myself as a martyr for the sake of Fighter's future happiness" to "I don't love you anymore, get out and take your necklace with you" to "yes, please come home with me and take care of me." Mmmmkaaaayyy...
Then Fighter sees Tutor's phone, with the messages from Zon. Appears to be jealous of Zon (I think?). But, in the next scene, Fighter confronts his dad. Where did that come from? Did Fighter just assume (correctly)?
It's hard to tell which story lines might have been different, had there not been an interruption in filming.
China calls for boycott of 2gether!https://www.news-daily.com/news/world_nation/a-chinese-troll-campaign-exposes-a-potentially-dangerous-disconnect-with-the-wider-world/article_d8ee66d7-20e9-5e77-b04e-8b579a356602.html
Oh, that is ridiculous. As if China doesn't have more important things to worry about! I hope Bright doesn't suffer any major backlash.
We've got a nice little community to talk about BL shows on discord, we're pretty talkative and would love to…
I see this exact same comment written on message boards all over the place here, and always under a different screen name. I'm sorry, but it makes me suspicious.
Yep, I was cringing when Tutor stepped away from Fighter, without saying a word. But...When I was Tutor's age…
Agreed. But I do have a feeling that this all has a happy ending. I'm thinking that maybe Kae's talk with the dad may have done some good. Or who knows? Maybe Fighter will just say screw it to his dad and live happily ever after with Tutor. (Although Asians are usually not quick to totally defy their parents.)
I'm sure we can all agree that Fighter's dad needs some educating. No one should ever be forced to live someone else's life.
Because he again lost to Bohn so he was in bad mood
Okay thanks, that explains his mood. But it's kind of a weird storyline... Thara comes in as a customer to pick up flowers he's already ordered. Frong not only refuses to serve Thara, but throws him out.
Thara is an innocent customer, doesn't know Frong and has no idea that he's just in a bad mood. And anyway, Frong's mood should not be taken out on a customer. Frong should be fired for that!
I thought it was abysmally bad and entertaining at the same time! Obviously low budget, but that's okay. It cracked me up when it tried to go all High School Musical on us (along with the cringeworthy singing). The sex scenes sure escalated quickly. Gotta love the dad. When I first heard the two guys (brothers?) saying everything in unison, I though "how stupid." Then I started liking it, in a weird way. The over the top, melodramatic sobbing was so bad it was good. And I loved the bizarre, primitive sounding theme song! (I call it "The Natives are Restless.")
I'm not sure that ppl are hating on Tutor. I think most folks wanted to see more than just the same old trope-like…
Yep, I was cringing when Tutor stepped away from Fighter, without saying a word. But...
When I was Tutor's age (I'm older now... let's just say somewhere between puberty and death, lol), just barely coming to terms with being gay, probably in his first relationship with a guy... it would have freaked me out to have someone's dad come to me and say what Fighter's dad said. I was proud of Tutor for saying, at first, "you should talk to Fighter about this," which is probably what I would have said, too. But when the dad kept going on and on, I think that's what broke Tutor. At that age, I know it would have scared the hell out of me.
Tutor kept the truth from Fighter when breaking up with him... I probably wouldn't have done that, even at such a young age. But I probably would have broken up the relationship. That's some heavy shit to have to deal with.
I'm with you. I feel like the dragging wasn't so much the flirting itself, but the lack of clarity about what…
Agreed. The gang violence might be appropriate in a drama series, but it's out of place here. Over a "like" on an IG post? And now it's happening a second time, geez. Where in the hell is Green when you need him?

What about Willie? He's in a very supporting role, I think he's fine. What would you have him do differently?
Wow, Zee was great in the opening scene! I don't get Blue and Dew. Unless I missed something, Dew has been nothing but an ass to Blue. Now, suddenly, he's all sweet and boyfriendy?

Question: why was Frong so nasty to Thara in the flower shop? Did I miss something?
