MaintainingMama

That was my point. If you ever watch her in person, she is naturally hilarious, but she KEEPS getting roles where she is a the butt of the joke. I think she is widely talented but she never gets the opportunity to just be a funny girl. She started in the industry as the fat funny girl everyone made fun of and I hated that and they haven't really stopped casting her as such. I hope while she is at GMMTV, she will finally get a chance to prove she is actually a good actress and Beautiful just the way she is.

One day we'll be blessed with a role for Earth where he isn't crying and traumatizing folks. I literally cannot take hearing him cry because every time he does I flash back every single one of his roles where trauma and devastation ensued.
Side Note: I also flashed back when he said cake because I loved My Only 12% and he said that boys name the exact same way, with longing in his heart! 🤣🤣The fact that this time it's an actual piece of cake is hilarious to me though.
I definitely think this show deserves a higher rating. I am dying to know more about what happened in the past to make Ter stop speaking to Hill for so long. We get little bits of story each episode, but I could not have seen him thinking Hill liked his sister coming as part of the reason they are on the outs. I'm kind of thinking that Ter, based on the fact that he probably heard horrible things from his father about liking the same sex, didn't believe that someone "Like Hill" would like him back. Even though, I think that opening scene wasn't just a dream but reality and someone how they got caught making out and something with Hill's grandfather happened. I mean Hill is literally saying, I'm going to be hitting on you, posting pictures about him, he couldn't be clearer with his intentions and Ter is still like, maybe it's a trick. I hope we see some good character growth for Ter, to see him believe he is deserving of love.
I loved seeing my girl Sammy. I do dislike the way the styled her and the direction she was obviously given for this character. I'm happy she left wabi sabi cause they only seem to see her as a caricature and I'm not a fan. I think in every role she is given out side of Unforgotten Night, she has played the same role of unattractive, clumsy plus size bestie. Well poo on that, cause Sammy's been pretty since Love Sick and she has only gotten prettier. It almost felt like they dressed her poorly for he body and did her make up weird, to make her seem unattractive and someone to laugh at. I am PRAYING that GMMTV gives her and Yacht a romantic comedy. I think Sammy is hilarious, but I hate her being the butt of the joke. I want a drama where she is loved (like in Between Us), gets to be her naturally hilarious self, but not once to be THE joke. Sorry for my little rant, I just didn't like the way her scenes came out.
What I do like is the chemistry between Hill and Ter. I will say that Pond is doing an excellent job, in my opinion. His tone of voice when he is speaking to Ter is very melt worthy. Another reason why I believe that Ter maybe dealing with some greater trauma they haven't shown us yet, because how can he listen and witness how Hill speaks to him and not know that boy is head over heels in love with him.
I'm excited for next week and part of me wishes I had saved these to binge watch cause I want the next episode STAT.

Maybe for the first time they floated, but after that it was things that floated, so I'm not sure. It was almost like they forgot to explain the significance of this thing they added to the script.

There are so many things wrong with this series, and here I am yet again to watch it. The acting is sometimes okay, but mostly meh. I think Kad is doing a pretty good job and I like his bestie, but James trying to be the evil boss isn't working for me. But I don't blame him. He is a new actor, so I give him grace for that. But the direction for this show is what isn't working in alot of places for me. It would probably help if when Elyes was with Pat, he would soften more and not continue to be overbearing, and aggressive with Pat. But also, James just isn't given CEO of a major company who is a hard ass boss. He looks too young.
While I like the NC scenes, some times the up close kissing is just off. And can we talk about how they were supposed to be getting clean before the bath and then water never made it into the scene. Like at all. And Pat riding Elyes in that tub had to be sooo uncomfy with out the water. It honestly would have been impossible.
All that complaining and somehow I cannot quit it. I'm dying to know why Elyes is so attached to Kim. Now we have new girl entering the mix for Pat, Thitit is sus, and Run and Fei Long are a mess. I"ll be back here next week, mostly cringing, but unable to look away.

Man, this episode hits ya in the feels. The car scene was devastating but healing. I do wish the episodes were longer. It always feels like we are getting somewhere and then nope end of the episode. I loved the intimacy of the opening scene. I think what is primarily missing from this show, for me, is that we didn't really get enough build up of their relationship. It would have been nice to have way less flashbacks and a bit more scenes like the opening. Heck, I'll even take more flashbacks of Orca and Reese, just to know a bit more of how they have maintained their relationship over all these years, but not making any progress. Also, how do the communicate for real, cause the not explaining why they haven't learned each others languages yet is silly to me. I know that mentioned briefly the language divide, but it would be great to see a better explanation. I love the OST in general, especially the opening theme song, and I get that they cannot give us new songs every episode. But I'd rather they covered like popular songs (think Nunew singing Just Being Friendly) instead of playing the same 2 songs the brothers sang.
Anyway, it's not perfect, but I AM enjoying this and look forward to the end next week.

This has a surprisingly high rating. Not that I don't think it deserves it, but I have definitely seen better shows with lower ratings. Any way. That was cute. I enjoy this way more than I thought I would based on the trailers and stills I had seen before watching.
I really enjoyed Diew and his mom communicating their feeling to one another and being open to make changes in both of themselves to heal the discord they between them. Usually, it's a simple apology with out acknowledging ones mistakes, so I'm glad they explored that both of them were in the wrong and therefore both of them needed to do something to fix it so that their relationship gets better.
I'm actually really glad we didn't get any more significant scenes with Beer and Wan. After they got together, in what was a not so satisfactory way, at least not for me, I was kind of over them, so I'm glad we got filler scenes with them and the focus stayed mostly on Got and Diew.
I only have 2 issues with the last episode. 1) Diew trying to deny he was groping his boyfriend when he revealed he was shirtless underneath that costume. Firstly, the mountains of sweat on Got's back was over the top. Also, who wears a bear suit and doesn't put something on in between. I guess Got, cause he has proven a couple times he is allergic to shirt. Not that I'm mad at that. Which brings me to my main complaint. I need these series to stop acting like the "bottom" is all shy and virginal AFTER they have had the sex. Like, it's okay to admit that seeing your boyfriend's absolutely top tier body turns you on. It would have been refreshing and would have validated their ending point of introversion and extroversion being on a spectrum to have Diew jump Got and initiate some freaky sneaky. It would have been perfect to reveal that while Diew is shy and introverted with new people and social situations, when he feels most comfortable, aka with his boyfriend, he is a much bolder and assertive Diew. And to be fair they did kind of show it, to some extent, but I get weary of the whole, "oh no, stop, what are you doing?" protest, when the "top" makes the moves on the "bottom". Let's normalize people liking sex and admitting it, if only with just their partners.
My last and final issue is with the last kiss. This CP has actually given us some surprisingly good kisses. They definitely gave awkward kissing vibes when I first saw the poster, but they have delivered each time. My problem is the problem I have with almost all BLs. Please move into each others space when you kiss. Like wrap your arms around each other. If for no other reason, then to gain your balance. It's just weird to see a passionate kiss and ya'll pelvis are a foot apart and you aren't touching anywhere else. I mean, Game and Diew had a better, more intimate hug together when they won the competition than any of the CP's had in the whole series. Say what you want about LITA, they demonstrated perfectly what being intimate with a partner should look like, and I'm not talking about the NC scenes. I need to see more of that in series in general and rolled my eyes at the ending kiss because of it.
But overall, this was a good series and worth the watch.

Ah, okay, that make more sense. Thank you.

Okay, so I'm enjoying this so far. I find Bas hilarious in this show. This show is definitely showing his range cause he seems completely different from Gen Y. While it could come across as too much, I'm here for the silliness of it.
Another thing I'm enjoying is the way Hill looks at Easter. That man is IN LOVE, you here me?! 🤣 That moment where he circles the pot tower just to admire Ter was beautifully shot. Earth was really beautiful in that scene. Who ever has done his make up needs an award. I like that it's natural for the most part, but it is also obvious he wears it, so that it highlights the things it was meant to highlight.
I know some people have a problem with Earth once again playing a teenager/college student when is nigh on to 30. But I see no problem since he genuinely looks like a teenager/college student. You could not tell me upon looking at him that he was almost 30. Him and Gun Atp will forever be able to play much younger than they are, cause Lord knows they do not seem to age. Now do I wish that from now on, Earth gets to play adult roles, that hightlight more of his talents, absolutely. But I'm definitely not distracted by his real age in this role.
Now for things I don't care for in this series. I thought this show was called Fourever You because we are getting 4 couples. Well here we are, done with episode 2, and there isn't even a hint of the other 3 couples. If your going to have a series with this many couples, in order to do them all justice, there needs to be at least one scene per episode that focuses on each couple. I thought for sure we were going to get JohanNorth when Johan left in a rush. Oh well. Here is hoping we get more from everyone next week.
Another thing I did not care for was Hill's overbearing behavior. I know it is meant to be "persistence" and charming that he continues to pursue Ter despite having been given many signs that Ter does not want said attention, but it's not. It's just gross. I mean they go so far as to call out that Ter avoided the Union Meeting, putting his scholarship on the line because he wanted to avoid Hill and yet they show them giving out Ter's number with out his consent and then Hill showing up at Ter's apartment with out prior notice. It's just...noooo. Let's not, friends. There are better ways to show Hill's determination to make up with Ter and then flirt with him with out crossing boundaries.
Which leads me to another thing I didn't like. Why have Ter say no, avoid him at the every turn only to have him not stand his ground and firmly say no? It annoyed me when he actually told Hill no firmly and then just because Hill looked put in his place, he changed his mind. It may have been better received if we had an internal dialogue from Ter to see why he keeps flip flopping, but as it is, I'm not a fan. Again, there are better ways to show Ter slowly changing his mind about hating Hill with out taking his power away from him.
It would definitely help if they would explain already what happened between them that cause Ter to hate Hill, so I hope they don't drag out telling us.
Lastly, I'm not saying I don't like it, but it would incredibly nice if Earth could escape the traumatic abusive roles. I get that in every role he is in that he is presented as more "femme", which is fine (although I would love to see him in a role that has nothing to do with his sexuality and highlights only his amazing acting ability). But why do every single one of his roles have to have him abused/hated by men to the point of trauma? I know it has to be in part because he an amazing crier on screen, but it would just be nice, one time to not have that be his back story, especially because it's always centered around his gayness.
Anyway, like I said, I am enjoying most of this series and look forward to next week.

Very Cute. Glad they brought back the fantasy element. Although it made me realize that they never discussed the meaning of things floating before. Like what did it mean when stuff would float? I did like though that this time, when the ring began to float, Ai, said, nope, I'm marrying my man and no stupid dream shenanigans is going to stop me!🤣🤣 I wish they had spent just a tiny bit more time discussing or hashing out the jealously Yo felt when bag boy was flirting hard with Ing. Cause Ing was kind of looking...so it would have been nice, since they introduced the subject, to have them explore it more. But overall, a cute little addition to the story.

Wanted to try and binge watch this, but it's not on iQiy for for me. Then turned on the VPN, and while it shows up, I cannot watch any of the episodes. I pay for the service and would like to watch the show legally. Any one have any suggestions on how to watch this?

The love scene between Neil and Sea was done wonderfully. It was so intimate and sensual and grounded in love. It was the perfect way to show their reconnection after being apart for so long.

Definitely agree on your last statement. I'm an introvert as well and feel that in a lot of ways I'm almost mentally too strong. 🤣It would have been nice if they had clarified that his trauma from the loss of this dad, the pressure from his mom and the abuse from his ex were the cause of his some of his introversion and mistrust, but his entire personality wasn't only the fragility they showed. It would have been great to see him show where he excelled at and was most comfortable and relaxed outside of being with Got.

I KNEW I was forgetting someone, but I could not remember who was on my wishlist! Yes, definitely would add Nunew!

One thing Wabi Sabi is going to give you is cute boys and handsome men. So far I like it. But I love Earth and am happy to see him in a show. Would I LOVE to see him in something where he isn't a kid, sure. But much like Nat, Earth just looks young! You could not convince me he is almost 30. Like I'm sure he can pull off grown up, but seriously, he is pulling off college freshman, so why shouldn't he. One day, he is going to be in my dream series where he, Gun Atp, PPKrit, and Babe all work at a fashion magazine (cause in real life, their all fashion divas!) and then enter their romantic pairing where high jinx ensue, cause I also think they could all do romcom like no other. Sigh...one can dream.
One thing that will have me keep backing for this show is how Hill looks at Ter. That boy is in LOVE! 🤣🤣I am dying to know what happened between them that they are like this now. So I'll be back next week!

I mean, I'm not going to go so far as to say Diew is unattractive, although 1000000% agree on the hair. It bothers me every episode, almost as bad a one of the legendary bad wigs we have been subjected to in other series. But everything else you said, I agree a billion percent. I've said it before, but even Pharm, the most virginal, innocent, shy, quiet ML to ever ML was like, "Let's go!", when P'Dean took off the shirt and got down to business.
And Wan and Beer's storyline irritated me so bad. That bed scene was just...ugh!

I also agree and disagree with that. Like they could and should have done both. Like the chopstick scene. Was very on brand for Wan. But then when he walked away, he should have questioned why that bothered him. Even after the confession from Beer, they never made it seem like Wan liked Beer in that way. So it would have been so beneficial to distinguish and emphasize that Wan missed Beer not only as a friend who took care of him, but also as some one he loved and valued. It should have been both, at least for me, to ship them. Cause that last scene of theirs left me questioning whether or not Wan even liked Beer was he just sleeping with him cause he was a selfish person who wanted someone to take care of him.

Sometimes, I really wonder who writes these things. Like who thought it was romantic to have Wan ask Beer if he would still be his servant if they got together. No talking about HIS feelings, not really. Just Beer basically begging again and then sexy time. It probably wouldn't have been so bad if during their separation, they had showed Wan missing Beer and not just the things he does for him. Like a montage of him being jealous of people spending time with Beer. Having Beer ignoring him and NOT doing anything for him. So that Wan could actually appreciate what a good friend and even better boyfriend he had all that time. It would have also been nice if instead of him complaining about being bored, he would have said he missed Beer. And when he left Got and Diew, he would have sat there and reflected on all of the things he missed about him.
Does anyone remember Nitiman the Series? Remember when Bomb started ignoring Jin, because Jin said he didn't have feeling for him? That was done the way this should have been. Jin was actually heartbroken with out Bomb and it showed! Wan didn't even say he liked Beer back. He just said let's kiss and that was that. Disappointing. They could have done that so much better.
While Got and Diew had a much better reunion, I really wish there had been better dialogue. I needed Diew to apologize more profusely that he did, especially given that when he talked to Game, he realized he was in the wrong. I also needed him to explain about the elevator and meeting the ex by accident a bit better.
So many series this year started off great and then it's like the writers are out of ideas and just grab a cliche/trope outta of a hat and throw that in.
I'm not as disappointed in this series as I have been with others, but still...like sooo many dramas this year, this could have been better.

In America, when he locked Cake in the bathroom, it would be considered kidnapping. Also, thing with the door and the cake are considered harassment here. I may not necessarily want him to serve jail time, but he would definitely need to have mandatory counseling and maybe have to volunteer/community service hours. Something besides saying I'm sorry, because his behavior and mindset were not normal.

This series started off so good, to me, but this ending. Blah. I would rather they focused on Covid than making the girls and Af absolutely bat shit crazy and then letting them get away with it. Like WTF!? She literally hired people to gangr@&$ someone and planned to film it in order to black mail. WHAT?! What normal person does this for a crush!? She should have been evaluated by a psychologist at MINIMUM and put in jail immediately, realistically. Same for Gina and AF. I don't care that Khing pressured them or blackmailed them. They still did it, so away to jail for your crimes.
I also kind of wanted more of just Kla and Cake, skipping the drama. Just them finishing school and balancing their relationship. Definitely more of Poon and Gam, as it felt like we got zero of them in the last 2 episodes.
Like I said, it started off strong, and could have ended strong, if they didn't fall back on the WORST BL tropes to be had. The million flashbacks that were unnecessary, the jealous girl being the crazy one who does something INSANE, and the heroic boyfriend doing absolute unrealistic detective work when he is seriously just a student himself.
What a shame cause like I said, I really liked the way this story began. Oh well...

So they are getting the original story right in terms of the stuff that is happening. Like the fact that Poppy forgives Palin for doing what she did. In the book, Bai Luo Yin just lets it go...well because of misogyny. He was like, well she is a girl and this a very "girl" (be irrational and crazy), thing to do, so what ever, I wish you the best.
I like that they are keeping the original version of the mom. She was selfish and self centered, even in her need to take care of her son. She wanted what she wanted and she wanted her son to want those things and could not fathom that all those years she left him to be raised by his father that he wouldn't find being poor to be the worst. She didn't really change in the book, just got better at giving the boys what they wanted so they would let her in their lives a little bit and not be so lonely, because she gave up alot to be wealthy and comfortable, namely family.
They are getting Hero/Gu Hai's insanity right as well. He was crazy jealous and possessive. Kidnapped ALOT. Let's be honest, the book that we love enough that they have remade it 3 times to try and please it's fans, was toxic AF.
Here is where they go terribly wrong. As good of a job as he is doing, hiring that baby for this role is ruining this show. They are doing their best, I will say that. Including some of the lude conversations Bai Luo Yin/Poppy would have with Gu Hai/Hero is in line with the book. Gu Hai/Hero was obsessed with Bai Luo Yin/Poppy which included sex. Another thing they do right, is Poppy's character protesting. There was a whole of protesting...but since they hired a 16 year old for this role, they have to leave out the part where there was a whole LOT of giving in to Hero's demands...like alot!
I said it last week, but I'll say it again. This would have been great if they had just hired not a minor for a story that was known for very adult topics and themes. But the fake kisses...lack of NC scenes. I don't need NC scenes in every story. But in this story in particular, they kind of make the story.
Ahhh, oh well. I guess I'll have to go and reread the book and pray they NEVER make this story over again, cause I have lost all hope they will do it right.
