Back to normal now. lol

LOL I’ve had MDL for four years, this is only my third change. I’m feeling a little uncomfortable about it too. I may switch it back.

And here we are at 7.2. lol

What's holding Leo back? Well, what I had a suspicion about previously has been more or less emphasized by this last episode. To put it plainly: Leo might just be a bit of a coward. He can handle Fiat being completely rejected/hurt by Type and being there up the pieces later on (no matter how long it takes), but is too afraid to run the risk of openly expressing himself and being rejected directly. Hopefully, they'll resolve this and it'll be over, but nevertheless, I'm over them.

Champ and Doc have been most of my reasons to smile during this show. I love their ridiculously mushy interaction. Naming a flower pancake after Doc? The way Doc always looks away and smiles whenever Champ says something romantic (albeit unconsciously) and how Champ's like "Please don't think I'm dumb."...I almost hate myself for being so completely sucked into their cuteness. haha

" if they're both actually secretly into each other, don't you think they would've just naturally slipped into making out and/or boinking each other a whole while ago? "

Yes and no? I haven't read the books to know enough backstory on them, but. I feel like Leo may have always had something for Fiat and never really made any kind of move because he didn't know what reaction he'd get and that's just been the status quo, but maybe now that he sees Fiat being into other guys, it's finally started to take its toll on him? Not sure.

"and how hard is it to take it to "I'm actually into you" from there?"
Not very. lol

"I don't know, they're both super weird and neither one in a fun way that's entertaining to watch... at least not for me."

Agreed. If we'd gotten a love confession there in the hospital, their arc could have been redeemed for me, but at this point, I'm kinda just like "wtf" with them and I don't care what comes of their 'thing' over the course of these last four episodes. Of course, I hope whatever it is will be good, but I'm no longer as invested in them as I might have been before...which I barely was.

In my opinion, Fiat wouldn't know if someone were into him unless the person used explicit words to say it. The only experience of someone being interested in him he's ever had is sexual. We saw this some episodes back and in this last episode, he reiterates that and equates the entire experience of being a gay man to hookup culture. Fiat needs love and attention. He's getting that 100% from Leo. Leo gets him and is there for him...which is what he needs/wants. However, I truly believe Fiat's too immature and/or dumb to see it beyond the friendship level largely because he doesn't know what it looks like when it's given to him...in spite of having attempted to give to so many others. I can genuinely can't imagine Leo finding the proper time and words to express this and Fiat completely rejecting him, but I do see where the anxiety would come from on Leo's part about that.

On Leo's part, he came all the way across the world because Fiat injured his knee (really because he's in love with Fiat), but now, seeing Fiat devastated and more in need than ever, instead of taking the chance to say, "Hey, actually, while everyone's rejected you, I've always loved you and I'm IN LOVE with you", he hands him off to Type (by giving him his address) so that he can learn the hard way through harsh rejection from Type/possible aggression from Tharn. While I guess I can see where Leo is coming from with this method especially since we know how stubborn Fiat is, I still just don't like it. Fiat was in a very raw state at the hospital. That was a really good time for Leo to express his true feelings and reassure Fiat that he doesn't need to be a desperate, home-wrecking jerk to Type/Tharn to get the type of attention that ultimately won't be given to him from them.

Seoul is so lucky. This entire cast just looks like so much fun to be around.

I wasn't so annoyed with Leo before, but I definitely am now. He missed a really good chance this last episode to make his feelings abundantly clear AND likely receive a positive response.

Wayu gets more screen time than he needs, but I don't think it takes that much away from the main couple...especially at this point.

That people even try to blame LBC2 on COVID makes me dislike it even more tbh. lol

The award for BL Couple with the Cutest Pair of Smiles goes to Bhunpol/Champ.

Can I just say that I love Mark's angry face. He looks like the angriest little bunny and I just can't get over how cute it is. ^_^

Totally. There were also lots of subtle details that went into the production quality that made it that much more well-crafted.

I didn't care for it either. I disliked Arthit back then as much as I dislike Ton now. See Krist play the 'a$$hole landlord' role for a while in I'm Tee, Me Too this year gave me flashbacks. lol

And just like that, one of the best things to happen this year comes to an end. The show was so pure and sweet. It's a top BL for me now.

Thanks! Works just fine for me too and I don't need to log in or anything.

I don't really count that one because she wasn't beyond reason. Gu Hai neglected her AND cheated on her, point blank. Nothing she did was out of the ordinary. When I think 'vengeful ex' trope, I think Off's character's gf in Theory of Love.

Same. Just let him be part of a good support system for Mark/Kit and keep it moving.

Ooo I like this theory! Now I’ll be looking forward to how it turns out.

If you watched 2 Moons (the first season) AND enjoyed Ming/Kit just as much as much or more than Pha/Wayu, then it's definitely worth the watch.
