Rolling my eyes dramatically... They better make it original or else they'd lose me partway... the trailer was... not my cup of tea, to put it simply. KinnPorsche's gonna remain my plan A in what relates to Thai series this year, I'm afraid!
I only vote for Obsessed because it's the only one that does truly stand out. No actor in this list can beat Bernard He's acting performance or his chemistry with Teddy Ren. The story isn't bad either. So, my vote goes to Obsessed.
Because only half of the show was watchable [10/2], the story-line shallow [[10/2] -1] and the intrigue thoroughly degrading to the ethics and values that us, homosexuals, live by and for, [[[10/2] -1] - 1] my maximum rating can't be higher than 3/10. BL is fine by me and incest [that was nowhere here] is also fine by me... but my tolerance, although very high, has its boundaries. Sexual harassment TOWARDS ALL GENDERS is something I can't accept. It's not because we are men that it would be acceptable.. that line in the script infuriated me. I know that our ''cherished Western morals'' are differently perceived in Asia but, for knowing Taiwan, I expected something, apparently, different. Too bad.
I watched this movie a looooooooooong time ago, probably 12 years ago or more, but didn't remember until the actual banquet scene. No time wasted though, I enjoyed every scene... the banquet and Wei Wei's vows [lmfao] a little bit more!
I dont know you are throwing shade or hate as Queer is written in you name but every gay couple who are mentally…
I started my comment with ''For me'' which means I speak in a declarative way... ''I'' say what ''I'' think... and what I think/mean in my comment above is that there are some encouraging and some scary aspects to this show. Those who want kids will learn what to expect and be prepared accordingly.. becoming a parent ain't a part-time thing, and those who don't.. [like me].. will just freak out.
''Ten Good Reasons Not to Have Kids When You're Gay'' is an allusion to ''10 Good Reasons to Ditch You'', another title for the movie ''10 Things I Hate About You''. 10 good reasons not to... the question is.. are they enough... not to...? They weren't enough in the movie for Patrick/Heath Ledger!
Whereas most of you are here fangirling, this question of having kids as a gay man I live it in my couple. But, as a guy with huge professional responsibilities and a phobia for duty, I don't have time to be a father.
Not a bad thing at all. People who don't want kids shouldn't be deceived by some sort of mystical romanticism…
I agree with you, not everybody is born to be a parent, some people shouldn't have a living being under their responsibility (baby, animal, bacteria...). I'm one of them :/
For me, this drama might as well be named ''Ten Good Reasons Not to Have Kids When You're Gay''... The good thing is that it pointed out "all" the situations/problems that gay people go through when they become parents. The bad thing is that when you don't want kids, you want them even less after watching this lol
Watched it over a decade ago but, unfortunately, the only thing I remember about it is the obvious age-gap between the boy and his Iove interest that shocked me, then. I'II try to re-watch it soon and see it with my "adulting" eyes, the eyes of a man who Ioves an older man, today!
Edit: I finally got the time to rewatch this movie. I remembered most of the scenes the second it started. Let's call some of them iconic and others invariably sad despite the weight of time. As I said above, my perception of age gap changed, love changed me. I'm more open-minded, but, still I kept feeling bothered throughout the movie. There's something delicate and precious about Massimo that pulled on my heartstrings, the Alpha in me wanted to protect him from the cop...
The whoIe story development for the second couple is questionable. I happen to be VERY (too much) open-minded, and generally what shocks others doesn't bother me. I ADORE the Brazilian movie "Do Começo ao Fim" but I have a problem with the brothers in this History4. I question the nature of Fu Yong Jie's feelings, it doesn't seem to be Iove and I hate the fact that he went as far as getting his step-brother drunk and raping him to prove how much of a coward he is... because that's what he is to me and I'm sad that the screenwriter didn't exploit this trope to give the story an interesting progression/twist, and a worthy Iife Iesson to the younger audience, by making Yi Xing Si reject his "Iove"... 'cause, for me, that's what he should have done. There's a blurry Iimit between art and nonsense... but there's one, stiII!
Finally! I've completed this series after having put it on hoId and ignored it for weeks... Not bad, definitely not, I didn't expect much from the medical aspect of the storyIine but it was rather satisfying for a show of that nature and standard. However, I'd have appreciated it better if the Ieading characters were portrayed by two other actors. Different strokes for different foIks as they say, indeed!
Just one question - how come Zhen Xuan is now working with Pei Shou Yi, I didn't see any conclusion to their story…
There's no story development for the secondary couples, they just pop out of nowhere to "circoncise" the script before things get interesting, and give to the ending a semblance of closure when there couIdn't be any. As things stand, they were there just to ruin the show and steal screen time from the leads. The series was already too short, it was pointless to add those "diversions". I re-watched the series skipping the extra scenes, things were Iess unbearable. Not outstanding, but the show was definitely more agreeable to watch!
WeII, I can't say that I'm disappointed but I am definitely not happy with this second part. The only word I have in mind is "Potential"... 'cause it's a lot of potential gone to waste. A good cast, a rather satisfying acting and a passable intrigue for a floppy realization. Too bad!
Homophobia.... here we go again with the nasty topic! Yet, I can't heIp but want to watch as I know very well the situation of LGBT+ people in ruraI Korea. This show can only put a name on a long-lived injustice!
