Could be. I know Nuea will be in it, but if he doesn't have Phraram.....the show will have been kinda for naught imho.

It's very early to say which way this is gonna go, but a few thoughts:

-I'm really just here for Kim/Cop (b/c aren't we all?)
-I found Ming's corniness in 2 Moons funny and I find Mark's corniness funny here too.
-I don't think this series is meant to be taken as seriously as the "BL is beyond this now" commenters are taking it
-It's coming off as basically fan service (but I'm not mad?)

Ultimately, I just feel like: either this is gonna really suck or it's gonna be my guilty pleasure of the year.

Thanks for the recommendations. I’ll start with those ones then.

Googled her and yeah, you’re not wrong. They definitely do put her in that role and no, it’s not cool.

LOL You’re not talking to me, miss. I don’t even know who that is.

Well, here's hoping for a better future. I Told Sunset About You is next on my list, so now I'm looking forward to it even more.

None of few Filipino BLs have seen clips of have stood out to me, so I've just been basically ignoring them, but if they really have some nuance, it might be time to check them out.

This show is so good. After I saw the first episode, I thought I'd wait until the whole thing aired so that I could binge later, but I couldn't resist. Kurosawa needs to be protected at all costs.

Barring the femmophobia, I think we're off to a good start. Can't wait for TopTap and Mike!

Isn't BL as a genre kinda heteronormative anyway? I feel like that's part of the appeal for a lot of people (as unfortunate as that may be).

Perfect analysis. lol

This crossed my mind too. I think the other posters are basically missing your main point which to be seems to be: femmes need to stop being typecast so often.

Realizing that Krist and Sinto are actually the youngest couple in this group is kinda nuts.

So, one's gonna say it? Fine, I will. This is better than 2gether.

This was a great drama that truly deserves every compliment it gets. The actors are well-experienced and deliver the characters so well. As the story follows the life of a gay couple in their 40s, it's a special insight into a realm we don't often get to see portrayed in media. If you want a well-done slice of life series to make you feel good, watch this.

P.S.- THE FOOD! :'D

I feel you on the confession episode. Even in the BL universe, I still feel it was a bit much. haha

Good thing a lot of us haven’t read the novel then lol

This season can’t be compared to the first one. Everything is taken a step down from writing to to acting, but I still have liked it (from ep 7 onward)....and, provided the actor who plays Tul can get some more acting skills, I think Tul and Him should definitely get their own season or at least a mini series.

This was technically my favorite one in terms of characters. I find Nuea’s confidence (cockiness) both funny and charming. Phraram is a little one-dimensional, but you can tell it’s because he’s shy and reserved. The chemistry between both was there though and I liked it. The story was really nothing at all. It almost feels like a 2 hour long preview to an actual series. Speaking of, I’m happy to see Love Mechanics getting a full one, but maybe they can fit Nuea and Phraram in as a side couple. That’d be amazing.

I like the show from a psychological POV. For me, it's a story about two people who were handed f*cked up situations in life and in turn made really f*cked up decisions. It's not a rubric for what a good relationship is or should look like. I personally don't usually throwout a show because plot just because it's predicated on problematic issues, but I see how and why a lot of people would.

LBC bothered me a lot because instead of the dichotomy of the message the show by having Tar's rape be horrible and wrong while simultaneously showing Techno's rape as romantic and silly. If it's gonna be a fucked up show, let it be that. If it's gonna be an ethically sound show, then let it be that damnit. lol
