Small thing I noticed. In the early parts of the story, Pran was the one secretly crying a lot. Now Pat is one shedding tears more. Pran almost seems like the more calm one in Episode 11. It's just a nice little character evolution and really shows how much they've really grown and evolved in their relationship with each other.
Well, that wasn't the sucky eyesore I expected this show to be. It wasn't outstanding.. it can only be considered…
Please get off your high horse. Thanks for recognizing the "mini improvements". But let's get something very clear: you're not speaking for all of us when you say the fans are all a bunch of fan girls. Do you really think queer people in particular gay men don't watch these shows as well to look FOR ESCAPISM and fun, rather than having to be reminded of our often times difficult and even harrowing real-life experiences and shit we have to deal with? You're essentially watching a coming-of-age, YA heavy drama based on one of MANY cultures that depicts the BL community. So sorry if this storyline doesn't meet your expert expectations and your definition of "BL industry success" or "high standard TV programs" or "good taste". Seriously, if you're looking to cry more and be all dark and moody, there's plenty of more true to life BL stories out there for your enjoyment :) I know I may be assuming shit about you and your life, although you sure assumed a lot in this brief and frankly, unneeded comment of yours. But hey, at least you enjoyed the eco-friendly messages, right? LOL
The overall rating is NOT an indicator of how much BL is in a show (or how good the BL is). It is supposed to…
Apart from the bl factor, you're looking at a whole new audience group. So yeah, I agree with you it's a good show, just not a good bl story. Therefore, the marketing should've made that clear from the beginning.
If they switched back bodies around episode 6-8 this would be a 10/10 show, but it dragged too much this. There…
EXACTLY. How do you expect your audience to hang on to a story that's repeatedly pulling punches and still be like, "oh it'll get better EVENTUALLY." That's not smart writing or marketing.
Look, first off, I don't want to rain on anyone's parade. So prepare for some harsh opinions.
Contrary to a lot of commenters seem to feel, if you're looking for a satisfying BL that won't leave you wondering 'why am I still waiting???' or a general sense of frustration, this one ain't it. I'm sorry, it just isn't. Let's not kid ourselves at this point.
I need some fans to take off their rose-colored glasses and face the truth instead of blindly defending it. Because you people are misleading others the most. 8.2? Really, now.
You can argue however much you want about how funny the dialogues are and how cute the straight relationships are and how well the writings are (I'm still having trouble with this one), but for those of you, you're not watching it for the BL. Not really.
So for those of us who do, this is not a good BL show neither in plot nor execution, period. It brings a whole new meaning to the words "fillers" and "dragging". A show that is "getting better with each episode" close to the end of its run isn't a successful one. So don't blame it on the people sleeping on it. Everyone's patience eventually runs out.
That said, it's a funny show with some hilarious moments. But mere moments don't make a good show, I dropped it after hanging on to it for four more episodes than I intended to, but that's just me. It may be for other people. As a BL shipper, however, my ship has derailed and sunk long ago. I don't even know where the wreckage is.
