You mean Ep 7? I agree - it didn't delve into either character's emotions in the huge flashback, which left me…
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.
making money off gay people? what? how? most of the writers are straight, most of the actors are straight, most…
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.
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!
Instead of talking about their sexual positions (which is very weird), why don’t you talk about the plot of…
Exactly! And here's a newsflash for many who don't already know... there are many, many gay couples who don't enjoy anal sex at all, and only partake in oral. And most couples that enjoy top/bottom positions do a lot of flip flopping (switching it up).
Strictly top/bottom couples exist, but it's more rare than you would think.
Interesting first episode. Not sure if I want to shell out money to see the rest of it. I may wait awhile to see if it shows up on Dailymotion or some site like that.
This is a series about two stepbrothers, Prab and Chon, who like each other. And Tri likes Chon. And the twin brothers want to get it on in a three-way with Tri. And Khun likes Kaow. And the chemistry teacher likes Maping. And Whats-his-face likes the Delivery Boy. And Sam likes Bobby. And Davey likes Jimmy. And Buster likes Binky. And they're all gay. In fact... everyone in the whole world is gay.
Totally unrealistic... and yet, manages to be cute as hell.
Cute first episode. I think they should have "uglied" Pi up more (ala America Ferrara in Ugly Betty), to make a more startling transition to good looking.

Yeah, I know... fantasy schmantasy.

Just my experience as a gay guy.
