"Bodice rippers" is the perfect description for Mame's work. I haven't seen those words, since I stopped reading those types of novels way back in the mid 1980s, when I was just a pre-teen.
I came to the conclusion that people calling Toh a stalker either don't understand what they're watching or don't…
"People are quick to critizice him but I'm sure many of them are/were acting the same for their favorite celebrity. I'd love for people to practice more self-reflection and honesty."
That's the main point of certain viewers issues with Toh. They couldn't handle seeing something that reflected some aspects of their own behavior, so that's when all things called "cringe", and "secondhand embarrassment" started being used constantly, along with "strange", "odd", "obsessive", "weird", "stalker", and "dangerous" regarding the Toh character. Even after, when it was made specifically clear in the series, that Toh literally wasn't making any moves towards getting Neua to notice him, and that Neua had to pursue him, folks still couldn't let go of their issues.
For a BL, isn't it supposed to be about fantasy, yet that fantasy is only supposed to be on approved characters.
This was excellent!! I cannot/will not speak for any other viewers that love BLs, but I know that I want to see more BLs that explore characters in different settings, especially period piece lakorns. Seeing Li, Chan, and Bua becoming a united group, in order to save, Tian, Song, and their family was what they should have been from the start. All the jealousy, envy, bitterness, hurt kept them from being a true family.
How Song, Chan, and Bua can see how their sons have found strength, love, and support with Jiu, and Lady Pin is how most parents should react in seeing their adult children living their lives.
😂😩 Not Sher graduating from throwing hands to throwing shoes now. Ahhh, why does he want this guy??!!! These…
Hahhsh. Harsh, funny, and sadly right for what was written for these main lead characters. I really feel bad for these actors, because they were given a horribly adapted screenplay, based on novel, that was written by someone, who has absolutely NO CLUE to romance, love, sex, friendship, or how to create a story, that isn't filled with tons of bad tropes. At least the incestuous relationship between the twins wasn't included.
I honestly expected a much higher body count in ep 15, but now after seeing episode 16 it's clear why they didn't…
Yes!! I now recall what the dynamic of the situation between Song, Li, Chan, and Bua reminded me of: The HBO series "Big Love", centeted on the Mormon religion, and the bigamist, Bill, his three wives, Barbara, Nichollette, and Margine.

Exactly. Even in the beginning, even when Song was publicly lambasting Yang for "not being like Tian", he also commented that both his boys liked, loved, cared, and treated each other with affection/love. He loved that they both weren't affected by their mothers hatred for each other. Jiu just had an extremely hard life, due to circumstances beyond his control. I personally think that Song, Li, Chan, and Ma will all end up reaping what they've sowed, in their actions/behaviors in the series finale, while Yang, Pin, Bua, Tian, Jiu, and his siblings will find peace, comfort, support, and love together as they comtinue the next generation of the Song family. That's my wish!!
"You are the future, that I want!" Oh wow. Jin is in it to win it with Bai Lang. Ye Qi lost his opportunity with Jin YEARS ago. I think that the closing credits, are Jin, Bai Lang, and their friends/family preparing for their wedding ceremony.
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.

I'm guessing that the lady, and her special lady, also had the same sort of connection that Choco, and Milk had with JungWoo and Uncle.
Thanks to everyone, who had a hand in the creation of this project.

I am so going to miss this series, when it ends. It's just so wonderful.
