MaintainingMama

Phew Chile the MESS!!! I KNEW she was going to be pregnant! Achi sucks the big one! I really hope he just fell in love with 2 people at the same time and did not his feelings for Most to be real, especially since he was into Fern. And by the time he figured out he truly was feeling Most, it was too late, he was caught lying to them both. I need to know why he rejected Fern but then went after Most in the shower. I want to feel sorry for Fern and I kimd of do, but she went into this whole thing being super dishonest and frankly invasive, so....no sympathy for her. Poor Most!! The only one who is inmocent! And how is he supposed to be a ship with Achi after this!? This maybe messier than the second story! Also, are we EVER going to know what is the deal with Dew and P!?!? I have questions and NOTHING that is 20 episodes long should leave me with questions!

Side Note: ToruFirst are too good at these NC scenes!! They are definitely in the Top 10 for best NC scenes in BLs this year. Maybe even top 5! Sheesh!!

I knew this episode was going to be sad, just glad Name's mom is okay. Especially after finding out why he stopped talking. His Mom sucks though. She knew that what he experienced was some next level trauma and instead of taking him to therapy, and/or having them both learn sign language to be able to communicate until he was able to speak, she just tucked it all away until he got to old to be home and then guilt tripped him for not moving on. Lady! You had all those years of homeschooling him to get him help, or at least help prepare him for his future and you didn't? Name is as old as everyone else, but he doesn't seem to work, he isn't going to school, so what is he doing with his life? What will his future be, espcially if his mother ACTUALLY becomes sick. Sigh, I'm with Em on the ending there, I feel bad for Name! Speaking of Em, he got off the hook waaaay to easy. I wish name would have turned away when he first saw it was Em, to show his anger at Em. Name deserved a better excuse than I was studying. Were you...for all the hours of the day!? I do not begrudge Em his time in college and all the fun stuff that comes with that. But he could have messaged Name at least once or twice a week. Also...are Em and Name a thing? Going to become a thing? Its super unclear. They talk like they are more and kind of act like it too, but they don't do anything that leaps head first into boyfriend territory.
Golf's parents were adorable and its refreshing to see parents not only be nice but giddy at the fact of meeting their child's partner. Love to see it.

The way Strongberry shows how you can literally tell a well thought out story, amazing acting and top notch camera and editing with very little screen time should some of these longer shows to shame!! Felt ALL the feels and they did it in 15 minutes. Choco weeping openly at having to leave Jungwoo was too much for my soul to bear. The last smile from Milk. Jungwoo repeated banging his head on the door trying experience any other pain than the loss of his loved ones. Gahhhh!! Brilliant!

As much as I love this series, I needed more. I'm all for sticking with the fluff, but once again we have one partner all go go go and another like are crazy to actually want to kiss me, you boyfriend!? Gasp! And even when they make it seem like Nhai is into affection from Ai, we get scenes lile the shower scene where its supposed to be sexy and hot cause the showed us...legs and underwear, and they literally do not touch. By now, you mean to tell me Nhai doesn't know his boyfriend is going to join him in the shower?! It just would be nice to see Nhai making the passes, is all I am saying.
I actually like the talk with Nhai and Jaonan, despite the horrible subs, cause I fear alot was lost in that translation. They needed to bond. It would have been awesome to see AiXs dad also speak privately with Nhai or Ai and Nhai together, but that scene was cute. Someone explain the reason for Chon to get sick when they went to the mountains? It would have been one thing if Ton was showing ANY feelings toward Chon at this point, but them videocalling when it could have been used to show Ton beginning to have feeling for Chon while they set up camp. Why was he on this trip! They must already have a season 2 in the works, cause there is no way they can deal with all the issues they have introduced.

Beautiful story. I need a sequel to see how they figure out their relationship.

I hope so too, cause Most doesn't deserve his feeling played with.

Man, that's just the worst if he is leading Most on. Most doesn't deserve that.

I actually like this series alot. The chemistry and acting from Tod and Boy are what helped so much with a story that needed some more time or better flushing out. I actually get Kevin being scared of starting a full on relationship with Pluem because he was afraid of loss. But I was also really frustrated that he sat their, let Pleum pour his heart out, then say literally nothing and leave without a word. I would have accepted him literally just being like, I have to go back cause I don't live here and I found out my mom is having twins. His mom having twins 3 years later is ridiculous. How old was she when she had Kevin? Cause was a college graduate when the story started and 3 years makes a huge difference in age a woman is when she gives birth. Also, what issue with his dad? Did a miss a story where he discussed some conflict with his dad?
But as bothersome as the plot hiles were, the love story aspect was dreamy. I am all here for the insta love. Sometimes, you meet a person and you just know thats your person. They were both attracted to each other from the beginning and neither were too reserved about exploring their feelings, which I loved. No need for, 'I've never been into guys before, I cannot like you even though I clearly do'. Just 2 boys who liked each other and decided to go for it. Refreshing. Also refreshing was the lack of any conflict about them being together. It was like they were in an alternative universe where no one cared they were gay. No angst about hiding feeling for each other, no awful relatives saying awful hurtful things, no nasty looks from the people around them as they walked around holding hands and being lovey dovey. My goodness that was so welcome, if only we lived in a world like that!
This is definitely a show to check out. Its not nearly as bad as some who are complaining. Yeah, it could be better, but you'd miss out on top notch chemistry and mostly decent story.

Why did they have to make Most completely innocent!! I need him to be as ruthless as Gus, cause Achi is a POS and I have idea how badly tbis story is going to end. I pray that Achi has SOME feeling for Most and that he is just conflicted. Cause if he is doing this solely to boost his career...all he had to do was be honest with Most. 'Hey, I don't like you like that, I'm straight, and dating Fern. But lets be great partners on screen and be a great ship and work to get jobs in this industry.' I think Most would respect that, and also not get caught up in the fan service. Cause he would understand where he stood with Achi. If he slept with Most to keep Most trapped in the ship...man he has sunken to a new low. Peek was an unneccesary asshole this episode, but if Achi is as much of a Douch Canoe as they are hinting at, I hope Peek beats him at his own game.
Side note, Toru and First NEVER disappoint in their NC scenes.
I REALLY need them to reveal what is P's deal. He is a conplete mystery, I have no idea what his goal is in all of this and I NEED to know!
Also, I want to feel bad for Fern, but she is up to shady business as well, so I don't know if she deserves whatever Achi is mixing up in his pot of lies... as much as I enjoyed the sheer mess this show is, this was too long to be pissed off, anxiety ridden, but captivated by a show. I need a break!! Phew!!
Side Note #2 I hope the back biting behind the scenes isn't as nasty as this between BL actors. I also hope that those who do fan service know its not neccesary. They can literally be like Tay New who are just great friends who bicker and we are happy. While yes, I'll admit that my favorite couples are those I think are actually dating in real life (EarthMix, ZeeNunew, and MosBank), I love me some TayNew, BillySeng, MaxTul, because they behave like they sincerely like each other as people, not just because its their job. I feel like if your gonna be a shipped couple, you should at least be friends off screen, cause it makes the on screen chemistry and therefore the show I am watching (and sometimes paying for), much better. Its the reason I don't care how many times they declare they are together, I will never believe YoonTon are together, cause their scenes together in Unforgotten were poo.

Immediately yes! GMMTV for the end of the year win. It was funny, it was CUTE and the music is amazing! I was hooked with just the first part. I can only pray the rest of this show stays as good as its first episode.

I love how when show is all story, its too slow but when its all NC, where is the plot. Sigh...anyway, I love this show. The acting is outstanding, especially Title. The who show is about the growing pains of becoming an adult. People you thought would be in your life forever, disappear (Name and Em), family members, especially the older ones start getting sick and start dying (Champ). You figure who and you love (Nan) and probably get your heartbroken in the process. It's part of growing up and it SUCKS to go through, but its such a necessary process. Watching how they all deal with the big changes in their lives has been a pleasure. I knew that Name would think about suicide, maybe even attempt it. He had built too much of his life around Em. And I kind of blame his mom. Once she saw he had made friends outside of school, she should have enrolled him in it. She should have insisted he see the therapist, especially in the beginning, when he was so young. She should have made sure he always had a way to communicate, in case the unthinkable did happen. When he found her collaspe, all I could think about was how would he get her help? No one made sure that he was independent enough to get a neighbor in case of emergency. I just hope she doesn't die, cause what in the world is he going to do?! He doesn't even have a job, or a skill. I kept wondering why he didn't take the entrance exam with his friends, why wasn't he going to college too. Man this whole thing is tragic. Side note, I get Em distancing himself, to explore his new world and new friendships, along with the rigors of college, especially law. But wtf was with the girl commenting on his 'mute friend'!?! That implied that he talks about Name and not in a good way, not in a ' this guy is my best friend and he happens to be mute, but he is awesome' way. And he didn't come to Name's defense or anything. Just gah!! Name deserved better!

🤣🤣🤣 I never drop a series but man, this was bad! 🤣🤣

It's awful! But his face looks different from his recent series, like My Only 12%. It looks puffier and severely broken out. I wonder if he had a reaction to something or is on some medicine and they are trying to compensate for it?

I have loved Sammy since Sotus and you are right, they always axt like she is unattractive when she literally so beautiful! And she has the most amazing personality. All my dreams will come true if Sammy finally gets cast as the lead of a RomCom, which she is literally made for.At least in this one get the guy instead of having guys run from her or make fun of her.

I made it!! I made it to the end!! My eyes hurt from all the eye rolling, but I did it. Man, that bad kissing made til the final frame. What a shame. Gear and Prince finally get their love scene, its actually good and they blur it out with dreamy effects. What the poo!? Tap and Ping kept me in this series only to be straight up disasters once together. Sigh...
What was with that crazy Pie and his weird, Imma get Fahlan no matter what agenda?! I guess it was to show that Fah and Sher had finally grown up and learned to talk. I mean once you stop throwing shoes in bars you know you've matured.
Someone explain Thai illnesses to me. Apparently, you can get a fever from having sex or getting hit in the stomach with a baseball or cutting your foot on glass, and those illnesses last forever despite someone rubbing you down with a wet cloth. But if you catch an actual real cold, you take some medicine, and a nap and then you are right as rain and ready to go back to school or work. I just need to know is this how it really works!?
What was the purpose of Sher being a undercover music star? Like what was the purpose?! His major wasn't music, we NEVER heard him sing, annnnnd it had BUBKISS to do with the plot.
The answers to these question will never be answered, but I just had to vent my spleen. This may have been worse than Physical Therapy and that is saying something. Man, I am glad that is over!

All I have to say is poor Most. We knew Achi and Fern are crappy human beings (although, we don't know why Fern has agreed to be the spy). But seriously, none of the innocent type people turned out to be innocent, so I wonder if Most is gonna hit us with a reverse double whammy too.

Scrolled for a little bit but ya'll are tripping, so I'll say my piece and keep it moving. I loved this series. It was beautifully shot and very well acted. Considering they got the story from a book that was all sex, they made it into a beautiful story about 2 people who weren't great human beings finding each other and then changing for each other. A story of spoiled rich kid who had real past trauma. Did I wish we had more from Mangkorn's story and how his father accepted not only him turning down getting married but also coming out, yes! Hopefully they will address that in season 2. Bank's acting during the 30 minutes of crying was amazing. Normally that much crying for that long would get on my nerves but some how each scene was different yet connected, so it worked for me. My only quibble about Bank's acting is that he NEVER kissed Mos properly. Mos did his job with those kisses. Bank's still lips drove me nuts, especially when you could see in other scenes he was capable of it. But should have been beautiful kiss scenes, like the goodbye kiss, were kind of ruined because of his lack of participation. I need him to channel that confort level he naturally with Mos in real life and lay one in him! 🤣🤣 Mos did amazing for first ever anything. He had a couple of so so cry scenes where it needed to be stronger, but eventually brought all the emotion needed for scenes, ie, the packing/stuffed dragon scene. I do wish we had gotten a proper reunitting scene, but the shot of them sitting on the doc watching the sun rise (A MosBank real life favorite!) together with Yai's head in Mangkorn's should was sooo beautiful, I can't even really complain. This series was great and such a DRASTIC improvement on anything Star Hunter has released, I am excited to see what else they have to show us!!

Me too, I am going to be so sad when it ends too. They released another video today and I am so happy!!!

I wonder why people have forgotten a out balance. You know you can have both right? Both fluffy and NC BLs can coexist in our happy little BL world. I loved this. No kiss needed. Would a hug or a head pat be welcomed, sure. Something to show a bit more intimacy between the main leads at the end. But overall, this story was amazing and so was the acting. I would MUCH rather watch this level of acting and flushed out story than some of these dramas (Falunruk, I am looking at you) that have a bad story, bad acting and bad NC scenes. But on the flip side if that, why all the hate toward people who like NC scenes?! Why can't I like people expressing their love for each other in a healthy way. Sex is part of a healthy relationship, for most people. And to not show it tends to be unrealistic. LITA is a perfect example of NC scenes done right. Sexy, realistic and consenual. I for one hope we get more like it. But also hope we get amazing scenes like the ending of this (without the spinning camera shot, cause Ahhhhh! Me no likey!) I am old enough to remember where all LGBTQ content was full of trauma, rape, disease and sadness. Almost none of it was happy or ended happily. So to see healthy, consenting relationships filled with love is an amazing gift. We gotta appreciate it all the forms we get it. Instead of complaining either way.

This last episode was all over the place for me. Lots of bad acting and lots of good acting all combined to one scene made my head spin! First, I am so glad we got the back story on the evil mother. I had no idea she would be this evil, but it explains why Ai isn't nice to his sister, I imagine he isn't sure if he could trust her. Especially all these years after her surgery. Her mother has bound to influence her. I get that Mother is supposed to be the villian, but why, oh why are they (or she) doing this over the top, way to dramatic for what the rest of this show has been, villian. Her acting doesn't make me hate her, it makes me want to fast foreward. She needs to take lesson from chick from Oh My Sunshine Night. That show didn't offer alot, but that villian was VILLIANING! When Ai's choked his and then she was thrown against the wall, my eyes have never rolled so hard and that is saying alot cause I watched Fahlunruk yesterday. Speaking of bad acting, God Bless Him, I was excited to see his acting abilities but man, Arm was terrible. Same over the top dramatics but zero emotions behind them. Jaonan should have crying and heartbroken, not pissed off that Ai believed that heifer over him. It was kind of understandable from his (Ai) point of view. Ya'll lied to him for his whole life. He was always going to be angry. Their job was to calm him down, say I'm sorry but hear us out cause she's a dirty evil liar face. Then during that HEARTBREAKING scene where Ai begged for forgiveness....you forgive him! Instead of guilt trip him. Sheesh! But either way, Arm delivered those lines so badly, it almost took me out of the scene. Meen and Porsche did a great job though, so it was saved. Confusing emotionally and artistically, but still okay. Then we move on to the second half with Ai and Nhai and again, confusion artistically because you have cute lovey dovey scenes combined with horrible fake musical instrument playing that I did have to skip, cause come on! That would have been adorable if he had actually played an instrument for Nhai.
I will say that episode went by quickly for me, cause I am now dying to kniw what evil Mommy's plans are. What could she possiblybwant with Ai and why does she want Nhai to dump him?! The only unfortunate thing about finding the answers is we are going to have to be subjected to more terrible acting by the chin hair lady. I know the reason why the chin hair is there, but I still want to pluck it badly! Its worse than Yoon's neck hair in Unforgotten Night....
