Thankfully only two more episodes and this BL Ground Hog Day story will end! Is it too much to hope we get some…
"BL Groundhog Day Story" Yes, that's exactly what the main storyline is for me, regarding Sherbet, his violent issues, and Fah. He will hit Fah, over just either listening to him, or talking to him. Ugh. Prince, and Gear are still absolutely adorable, and I don’t want this latest issue of Sherbet's to affect their relationship. As for Tap, and Ping, I hope that next week's episode, finally has Tap figuring out, that his heart has always been Ping's. That boy is slowly developing a drinking problem.
I knew that Lee Chul was going to killed, protecting one of his sons. He, along with Jin Sun Hye, Lee Sueng A, and Jang Moon Ki have shown how much they love, and care for Seungchun, and Taeyong. In the earlier episodes, my hope was that at the end of the series, Lee Chul, and Jun Sun Hye would be in their elder years, surrounded by their huge family of grandchildren from Seungchun, Lee Seung A, and Taeyong. 😕 😢 😭
(Ep. 6) One can't help falling for Ai and Nhai as they are such a sweet couple. In this episode, exactly half…
Song met up with Jida (who seems to be the only female character in this series, that knows that she's the gal pal to all the gay boys in the University). I don’t know why Song feels that a relationship with In is "impossible", but I'm glad that we had screentime not centered on the main couple.
As for why Nhai is portrayed as being so fragile, that's the one thing that gets me about these "roles" the uke, and seme have to portray in many of these BLs. Nhai got hit with a basketball. Why did he also get a fever?! Thailand is a relatively extremely warm climate, and these ukes are always getting sick, which means, only the seme can cure them of their situation, which is immediately rectified by that sponge bath, along with all the medication, they just spend money on.
When Eiw's Mom, finally allowed herself to breakdown in tears with her longtime friend, Cake's Mom, that's when I finally started to cry.
That scene, with the doctor explaining to Eiw, and his siblings, how some older patients will keep the truth about their medical conditions from their families/friends, and especially their children is totally true. They feel like, they will become "burdens" to the people they care about. Along with being scared of truly acknowledging that there is something wrong going on in their bodies. My Mom was like that.
Beautifully shot; Mitchan's narrative wss poignant; Koichi's carefreeness is heartbreaking because we know what…
Some viewers think that the first kiss shared between Koichi, and his Mitchan was childish?
Hmm.
It was a very sweet first kiss, shared between two teenage boys, who just had their words of affection return to one another. They got confirmation, that their feelings of like, affection, and love for one another is real.
Mitsuru thinking that Koichi is doing all of these things, just to be friendly. While Koichi thinks that Mitsura is just tolerating him. Their matching sighs of relief, and smiles after sharing their first kiss together. These sweet boys.
I wonder if See-Foon and Jake will be our 'ghost ship'. See what I did there?
I love the possibility of those two, meeting up again, in the afterlife. See-Foon is just so adorable, and I really like how Jake just wants to make sure that Kevin's okay, and does have someone new in his life, like Pluem.
This series really has been a surprise for me, in regards to the quality of the storyline. It's a solid structure, that helps with getting the audience to understand these characters and their motivations.
I agree. It’s the harsh reality that most of us would rather not face. What really happens when the director…
"What really happens when the director says cut and it’s back to the real world."
Exactly. This is a job, for all of these performers. Yet, they seem to never, ever be allowed to have an "off moment", or not be in the mode of "smile for the cameras/everyone is watching" 24 hours/7 days a week. I personally love that Pun, Bew, Gus, Peak, Achi, etc. aren't being written to be "rootable" by us viewers.
They're playing a messy game, and I appreciate that there's another series talking about the shit that goes on in this specific industry.
Those wigs are hideous, but I'm enjoying all the storylines for these characters. I'm glad that we have one storyline, in which Champ is going to have a hard time transitioning from being around his lovely, supportive family, and childhood friends, to being on his own. Em, and Name missing each other so much, that they spend hours talking to one another at night. Korn, I mean Gun, trying to avoid introducing himself to Golf, as his childhood penpal. That other cute boy, named Beam (so fitting, with his smile), was clearly hoping that he could partner with Golf, but he purposes chose Korn, I mean Gun. This series, is a great companion piece with the other current BL, "My Only 12 Percent".
Sherbet continues to mess up the momentum of his relationship with Fah because of fear. He uses his friendship with Prince, as a shield to keep any guy, that might be interested in more than "friends with benefits", from pursuing him, which also screws up any chance for someone else (like dear sweet Gear) from getting close to Prince. So, with Sherbet's behavior, he's sabotaging two budding relationships. I understood why Fah, and Gear are feeling a certain kind a way about the way Sherbet, and Prince use their friendship to keep others away from them.
As for pining Ping: I also get his fear of letting Tap know about his real feelings, but him continuing to push Tap away, will only make him worry that he did something wrong to Ping.
The only two side characters that don't annoy me are Namwan, and Pai, because I think that Namwan is noticing exactly how close Ping, and Tap are with one another, and will bow out, without losing her shit. As for Pai, I love his spirit, but he needed Fah to be that direct with him.
I know that I have to let go of my distaste of all things associated with the Pink character, because I guess she's supposed to represent all the college fangirls that do have those "cute boy" pages/follow these boys around all the time.
OMG!! It's heartbreaking to watch, because I believe that when Koichi finally has to part ways with Mitsuru, he (and me), will have an extremely hard time, letting him go. They're so in love with one another. 😢 😭 😿 😢
I just love JHJ’s interactions with his father! Daddy clearly adores his son and all his effort to seem “official”…
When his father, calls him a "son of a gun", I think his son reminds him of himself, when he was younger. He says it, in a way, that is a sign of affection.
I am so going to miss this series, when it ends. It's just so wonderful.
