Despite the wtf ending, I did like that Pramote and Bright got together.

Yep, that's it! It was just so sudden for the viewers. I was like "Wait, what just happened... I thought you were traumatized by gay people... " :)

I would have no issue with the storyline if Type was simply a homophobe who finally gave into his real feelings. But the writers DID go with a childhood trauma, they made Type a victim of sexual assault. And I'm okay with that as a story... but then, don't trivialize it by having Type go from being understandably terrified of gays, to suddenly diving right into gay sex with no buildup or explanation.

So, the plot just suddenly went from Type's childhood rape trauma, devastating nightmares and hating all gay people--including his roommate--to "well sure, I'll allow you to kiss me all over my body and give me oral sex all the way to completion."

Umm... yeah, right.

Sorry, but that's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Who in the hell comes up with this stuff?

Hot shower scene aside, I think I just got more invested in the Tum/Tar storyline.

I agree! Also, maybe I'm in the minority, but I'd rather see Por (Pluggy) end up with Talay than with Yong. Talay is so sweet and Yong is too indecisive to take seriously.

English subs for Ep. 9 are FINALLY up!

It is really intense, so far with just two episodes. Episode 1 is nice, but Episode 2 has some very disturbing moments. If you're looking for something sweet and romantic, this is not it.

Thank you for your thoughtful and insightful comments! Beautifully said.

Thanks! It's been so long since I watched Kiss Me Again I'd forgotten the plot. :) And, even though I find Tay insanely good looking, I agree that Mew is definitely hot... TharnType is my favorite current BL!

Well, I'll admit that, physically, I find Tay wayyy hotter than Mew. But...

The Pete character is a big turn off, because of his childish insecurity. .. while the Tharn character is a definite turn on, because of his self-confidence.

And... I know Pete is upset that Kao won't come out to his mom. But has it been established that Pete is out to his own family?

I'll continue to watch Dark Blue Kiss, but I do find the plot a bit shallow.

I agree. For me, this is a more realistic storyline than the typical BL fluff or romanticized rape, or the seme/uke thing (from my personal experience, most gay couples do a fair amount of switching it up, lol!). This may end up being my favorite BL this year.

I like it, too! If it's possible, I think Pete has gotten even more attractive, lol. Looks like this is going to have some drama. I'm looking forward to it!

I really like the theme music!

I agree with you completely.

English subs for Ep. 8 are up!

That's good to know, thanks! I do like the opening and closing songs, as you do. But some of the songs they play within certain episodes... yikes! :)

I am totally okay with the last scene of Ep. 1. Of course, I'm not okay with non-consensual sexual assault (and that's what it was), but I'm okay with the series (author) including it in the story. Stuff like this does happen in real life. To me, it just means that Tharn isn't some goody-two-shoes sweetheart... he's got issues, and so does Type. And I think it makes for an interesting story. Looking forward to how this unfolds!

I'm loving this so far!

Thanks, Liz!
