That was a great tangent to go long on, because it's true.

There has to be a great, thought out script, for the director, and performers to be able to generate the performance, and recreate the world these characters are living in.

It was great when InTouch basically said to Daisy, "I really do like being with you, but if I'm the one, making you feel like you cannot be who you are, than I think we should end things now."

They literally showed how difficult it is, when you're the other half of a relationship, and you see your loved one struggling in being, and expressing who they need to be.

They showed both sides of the situation, for ALL of the 3 pairings, and had Nuea, Sky, and Intouch all being the ones ready, willing , and so able to be supportive, loving, understanding, and present for their loved ones.

I always joked that Nuea has the next 5 years planned, for his future life with Toh. Yet, I can see those plans being created in the minds of Intouch, and Sky. Especially Sky.

"I hope this show will become a benchmark for other BLs so we can see more of these themes."

That is my hope as well. I would love to see a BL series, with a lead character, who has body issues like Jao, portrayed by an actor that is more than 50 to 100 pounds overweight.

Or even a BL with a trans male character, with a trans actor in the role.

Will the audience be willing, and rooting for those characters HEA? Or will they be hesitant, from the very beginning, because they just cannot see that sort of ending for those types of characters?

"Who could have predicted that this show would have such wholesome, healthy relationships and one of the best friend groups I've seen in a bl. This is my favorite series of 2022 as of right now."

Agreed, especially regarding the relationships between the friend groups, and the pairings were developed, and showcased. None of the developing pairings, forgot about needing support, or being support for their friends. In fact, those initially separate friend groups, helped to strengthen the pairings.

When I initially saw the trailer for this series, I said that this would be "pastel candy coated trope for the young ones!"

I never, ever could have foreseen how wonderful this series would turn out to be. Turning certain overused tropes to show, how the "outcasts" have every right to be front, and center, so that they too can be seen as the preferred, desired, adored, appreciated, respected, and loved ones of the popular class. That they too have every right to be seen in a BL, as not the laughing stock, not the undesirable ones, not the ones being made fun of, but the ones that are praised. The characters of Toh, Jao, Som, and Daisy will be remembered, due to their true bond that was established in the writing for their characters, and their strong, supportive, loving, understanding, and caring friend base.

How Nuea, Sky, and Intouch were able to be portrayed as the emotional, caring, understanding, and at times, insecure guys, that also needed to affirmations, confirmations, and declarations of their love accepted, and returned by Toh, Jao, and Daisy.

Even the messaging was done in a creative, fun, and important way.

Bravo to everyone connected to this series. I'm definitely ready to see what Saint, and Idol Factory have in store for us with "Gap The Series", starring Freen, and Becky!!

😃 😊 👏

Nope. Mon was never meant to end up with Saint. He fell for Soh/So.

There's a lot going on in the 2nd episode of this series.

Ji Woo continues to be "friendzoned" by Yu Na, since she doesn't see him as "a man aka another threat to her".

Ji Woo continues to not get that Roa has a serious crush, and interest in him.

Roa doesn't see that one of his roommates, the tennis jock has an interest in him.

Their fellow roommate, Min Jae is utterly clueless about it.

Hye Won is bound, and determined to try and get Professor Lin to see her as a potential girlfriend, and not someone, who's "pranking him".

I'm still enjoying it.

Thanks for the update!!

The end credit shot of Mon, with his So was absolutely gorgeous.

I really don't like "miscommunication" between pairings, but what I DO love is that Nuea stood up for himself, to Phoon, and Kluen in order to get some sort of understanding of what he wants, and to let them know how he's feels about the messy situation between the three of them.

Phoon was shooting his shot for Nuea, just like how the other young female student did in the last two episodes, but I think he did it for the chance to finally get his feelings out there, knowing that he never had a chance in hell in getting Nuea to fall for him, and for him to release his jealousy, and anger over not being chosen over Kluen. He's been itching to punch Kluen since the very first episode.

This season is much more interesting than the first one. The theme, works much more better, when it's focused on connecting the storylines with the four main characters.

Yes!! Li Gong finally revealed his long unrequited feelings for Ze Shou.

Yuki is determined to get Ying Ze to see himself, the way that he sees him. A lovely man, and father that deserves to have someone love, and appreciate him, for who he is. Ying Ze is just so flustered by the attention, he's getting from Yuki.

I feel that the planning to divorce couple, will actually reconfirm their love, and appreciation for one another, at the end of this series.

The beginning of just absolute absurd madness

I was right there with Kota. His laughter is so pleasant to see, and hear.

Naoya fell first, but Kota fell harder.

I enjoyed the first episode.

From what I recall, Sarawat basically forces Tine to have sex with him, isn't at all gentle with him, and revels in the fact that he's made him cry. He gets off on the pain he's giving to Tine.

To say that I was shocked was an understatement, because there was absolutely no inkling of that type of behavior, with the characters that we saw onscreen.

There were "issues" regarding Win being cast?!

As for the "issues" regarding the much grateful changes in the TV version of Nuea in Star & Sky: tough titty.

Especially "bad fish" from two years prior!!

Well, Korea, Taiwan, and Japan have been coming through this late winter/early spring with some very good gems. SE, CBAW, Blueming, DNA Says Love You, Plus & Minus, Absolute BL2, Kei & Yaku, Mr. Unlucky, CM the movie (if it gets put on a platform).

Yup. I enjoyed 2Gether, and then other viewers told me about what actually happened in the novel. I alwayd wondered if folks really wanted to see that part adapted for the tv series. It would have changed how that series was viewed by the tv audience.

Exactly!!
