they mentioned somethng about a gang? i thought it was just initiation as you can tell hes laughing while getting…
Gang can also mean a group of friends. I think that's what they meant in this case. It obviously wasn't an initiation because Pete was insulting Kao. Also, sometimes people laugh during fights as a taunt. It's like saying, "Is that the hardest you can punch? It was more like a tickle. How pathetic."
(Minor spoilers for Kiss: The Series, Together With Me, Bad Romance, and Hormones) Omg, only a few more days until this airs! I've been watching the trailer at least once a day since it was released. After I first watched it, there were a bunch of things I wanted to comment about but I kept forgetting to. Like how I find it interesting that Pete goes from punching and insulting Kao, to willing to do anything to make sure he isn't jealous. I also wanted to say that this reminds me of Together With Me because it was a prequel that gave the gay couple more screen-time and had them fighting a lot at times. But the scenes with Momit reminded me of Hormones because in the first season, a guy leaves his boyfriend for a girl. I had more things I wanted to comment about but I've forgotten them.
Well, the latest one used here wasn't the main couple like what it described in the sypnosis, plus they have no…
When I first added Love By Chance to the database I put this picture as the cover (you can probably see this if you look through the photos). I guess someone changed it afterwards. I like the one we both put much better so thanks for that.
Well I'm not sure what you're expecting but what I think you're calling a "cliche" is about to happen...Ae is…
[Why It Is Considered A Cliché] Any person who avidly watches shows with LGBT themes knows the commonly used plot of a religiously straight male somehow falling in love with another male, and rather than beginning to identify as bisexual or homosexual, claims to still be straight, with whoever they're in love with being an exception. I can list many shows where this is the case because it is overused — a cliché if you will. Maybe you have not come across it a lot but op (Liz) certainly has. That is why she made a comment about it.
[A Correction to Make] I think you also misunderstood my comment. I was saying that someone's sexuality cannot and will not ever change. Sexuality is not fluid — it is something you are born with. To say otherwise promotes conversion therapy or the idea that children can turn gay if homosexuality is presented to them. Yes, people may discover parts of their sexuality later in life, however, that is not what happens in these clichés. Rather than discovering they were actually gay/bi/pan/etc all this time, these awful plots claim the main characters "turned" gay. As if it were possible for such a thing to happen! It's only propaganda disguised as a love story.
[Clichés Aren't Bad] I would like to be clear. Just because something is a cliché, it doesn't mean it shouldn't ever be done or that it's bad for the plot. Clichés are fine as long as they are executed properly. Many people love clichés! But just as many grow tired of them and want something different.
[The Pros of Not Using This Cliché] No one is saying it is bad for people to consider themselves straight despite their actions suggesting otherwise. However, it is seen a lot in dramas. So when things are changed up, it pleases and possibly excites many people. It also brings the opportunity for some good, non-comical representation for guys who are openly gay. We can see their struggles (ie, Pete being bullied for being gay), their love (ie, his falling in love with Ae), their humaneness (ie, a life others can relate to), etc. This can't be seen with the cliché because in that case, it is the story of a straight person who met an exception to their heterosexuality.
[Too Long, Didn't Read] It is used often and is therefore a cliché, however, that doesn't make it bad. People simply wish to see something different from time to time.
I only watched parts of episodes 8 and 12. Episode 12 was really beautiful and touching — a great finale for the three series. I loved seeing the montage of how all the couples came to be. And the scene where everyone was looking for the ring made me smile.

A character "turning gay" only for one person IS a cliché (it's an acute accent, not a grave accent). A cliché is something that is overused. It doesn't matter how realistic a cliché is to real life. If it is overused in a media form (eg. tv shows), it is a cliché. However, people "turning gay" does NOT happen in real life. Sexuality is part of who you are — how you're born. Someone can change how they identify themselves, and that may be what you're thinking of, but their sexuality doesn't really change. For example, I could refer to myself as straight because that's what I've been comfortable using. Deep down, I actually find both sexes attractive and can see myself with either, however, I continue identifying as straight. If one day I found a guy I liked, I may start to think that I turned gay since I never liked men before. But that isn't true. I was always capable of liking both men and women. I just hadn't come across a guy I liked yet. It's the same thing with lesbians who start identifying as straight. Their sexuality didn't actually change. They simply discovered something about themselves later in life. If you're wondering why I'm taking this so seriously, it is because the idea that sexuality can change is extremely dangerous for LGBTQ+ people. Ever heard of conversion therapy? It was used on gay and bi youths because people thought they could be turned straight. Some people would get drugged and forced to watch same-sex erotica, getting electrical shocks (and/or forced to vomit) if they reacted to it. And sadly, this is still legal in many countries. Parents force their children to go, hoping they will become straight, when in actuality, sexuality does not change.
Pretty big spoiler: They are only together in season one. They still have a side plot in season two but it's sad (trying to remain friends while getting over the breakup). And I think season three has an almost completely different cast so they aren't in it at all.
The last S in SOTUS S actually has a meaning that is explained by the author at the end of the series. She said…
I guess, but that seems like more of a joke to me. Sotus and Sotus S were both titles of the novels and for the show to start doing something similar with letters seems like mocking the novel titles.
