I think there was a problem with translation. Judah was not being biphobic. Because Rocky was in gay/queer denial…
This is what I gathered from the dialogue. I don't think Judah was being biphobic, but more like you said, he might have interpreted Rocky's "maybe I'm bi what is Bixesual" as Rocky using it as a cop-out to jusitfy his attraction to Judah.
Koy plays Judah so well. He brought such nuance and development to a very complex yet easy character. Not many could have the ability to make a character likeable as well as disliked at the same time. But I believe that these qualities that Judah displays are so spot on for someone his age and this time. His actions may seem selfish to some, but his feelings about being unloved until the other person gets hurt is justifiable. He hides behind the "confident gay" persona, but deep down he wants to be loved for who he is without having to hide. His grandmother loves him yes, but she wanted to change him. Now we know why, but prior to knowing her reasons, Judah felt like the only real best friend he had abandoned him after he refused to change. Her reasons may have come from a place of love and fear, but it really set up Judah in a way that he built certain shells around his heart. I can't even explain it. Love and Pain go hand in hand. This episode explored the different ways that love and pain have caused these characters to make certain choices. Lolly's love for her husband and allowing him to be who he truly was caused her pain, which she then proceeded to inflict on her grandson. A pain that she at the time did out of love. Judah and Lolly both showed the ways in which inflcited pain caused by love can hurt more than physical pain.
I'm so glad that this was recommended to me. I had heard about it, and forgot all about it, then @sony_t sent me the trailer! Thank you so much!! I'm so excited to watch this.
Episode 6 gave Judah a redemption arc. He actually grew as a person. I think as a millennial we tend to have this…
That's part of the crashing and burning he will do again. This is just a front that a lot of people put when they are broken/hurt and want to appear that they are doing okay and moving on. It's an exxageration of feelings, but it will tone down as they truly do beging to slowly mature.
In only 18 minutes this series managed to give these characters so much developement. And though the scenes were cliche, the story is progressing well. Judah may be a character that some people will not like so much, but I find him so facisnating and his development is so nuanced but also relatable for someone who is supposed to be between being a young adult and adulthood. His actions make sense and him being a millenial some of his attributes are spot on.
I liked the first four episodes...afterwards not so much. Some of the decisions made by the main characters just made little to no sense. It was still enjoyable.
I really hope the Philippines start addressing the toxic family dynamics that seem to be prevalent. This show…
This is pretty common in Patriarchal Catholic/super religious countries unfortunately. The whole Machista, men most only be with women mentality is so rampant. Philippines are very devout too so it's hard for men and women to be their true selves. My sister-in-law herself had a hard time coming out to her parents because she knew how hard it would be for them to accept her (she's Filipina)
maybe you should rewatch that scene, Techno was clearly conscious and clearly enjoying it. the only problem with…
It's a lost cause at this point. I tried to engage, but some people just see things their way no matter how wrong it may be. I applaud you for even going as far as you have in your discussion. ^_^
Teedo is throwing temper tantrums like a 7 year old kid who wasn't given his favorite cookie or something. I was…
It's okay it's not very well known because people who have this never really get diagnosed. As I mentioned, a lot of people don't believe it and it has taken Psychiatrist/Psychologists years to identify it. Some are still at odds as to why this condition happens.
