Synchonicity

He's hot!

Fair enough. I used to watch every BL series I started from start to finish (even if I didn't like it), because BL offerings were few and far between. But now we have so many choices.

But I will say that I've enjoyed this one, even though it's not a very believable premise.

As some of you know, I can get picky and critical with my comments. But, truth be told (and as a gay guy myself), my heart goes out to all production companies trying to get the message out that gay and trans people are great, smart, fantastic people who are just trying to do some good in the world, as are straight people.

Could I pick at this series? Sure (and maybe I will). But I am going to withhold any criticism until I've seen the entire series. I do see a good attempt at some important messages here.

Okay. So this series is based on a bunch of crap that happened during 2Moons2 (and probably a number of other past BL series). I say BRAVO.

This is happening, folks. And it's all in the name of money-making "fan service." Fact is, fan service does more harm than good. If this series is the catalyst to expose it, I'm all for it.

Look, I'm all for kinkiness or whatever turns people on. Nothing wrong with that, unless it's harmful. As a gay guy, I don't even care if people out there want to fetishize me... as long as no one is harmed in the process. If so... then this is an issue that needs to be exposed. Maybe even long overdue.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Yes! I have a feeling we're in for some real drama. (For me, Ep. 7 was a total letdown, but I'll let it slide.) I hated Aoey at first (and still kinda do), but we know that he's been through some major sh!t. Let's see what happens!

The thing about Aoey is that he's had such a horrible past with his family... I do feel bad for him. Unfortunately, it's screwed with his head so much that he's become a bit psycho. I'm looking forward to how this all plays out.

Tiffy is a heartless bitch. That is all.

(Yeah, I know... there will be some "reason" for it. Yawn.)

After the disgusting behavior of MV, any attempt to air a "2 Moons 3" will be boycotted by me!

And anyway, the original 2 Moons really wasn't very good... most of us watched because almost no BL was around at that time. We've got much more -- and better -- to choose from now.

I watched it on dailymotion. Type in a search: "Lovely Writer ep 8 eng sub" and you should find the link.

Without giving any spoilers, I'll say that I am much happier after watching Ep. 8 (especially after the trainwreck of Ep. 7). Let the real drama begin!

I like it too. Like you, I wish they had made it more clear. :)

Thanks for the information about the novel, it helps to explain a lot! I was so confused.

But yes, we have to judge what we're seeing on screen. As with any movie or series, no one should have to read a novel in advance to understand what's happening. It should be crystal clear what's going on and, if it isn't, then the scriptwriter (who has adapted the novel for screen) has done a poor job.

I know, right? Lol. Next episode I'm gonna try REALLY hard to keep track of his name!

I'm late to the party here (although I read this conversation a couple of days ago), but I'll bite.

As a gay guy myself, I will say that the "I'm not gay, I only love ____" phrase is much worse than fingernails on a chalkboard. I'm glad you've stated that hearing those words are not a must for you.

Why is it so bad? Because the real meaning of this is "I'm not really a WEIRD, ABNORMAL FREAK, I just love you." And so the message delivered is "Whew!
Thank GOODNESS you're actually straight and not gay! This makes it all okay then."

And -- regardless of desires of titillation-seeking fujoshis -- that is really not cool.

Yeah, I know... fantasy schmantasy.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Ohh... okay, that makes sense. Thanks!

I'm a little confused on the timeline at the end. Okay, we had the tipsy makeout scene. Then Paper looks to have gotten a little bit freaked and left. Sky is left in tears. Then the scene changes to the hospital, where Sky and his mom find out that his father is dead. And Paper is with them...

What am I missing? It seemed like a very odd sequence of events.

I know, it took me doing some research after the first episode to discover that they are different people... and that they are brothers in real life, two years apart. The way I tell them apart now is that Jeno has some red color in his hair. Lol!
