I'm so happy for Daou and Offroad, this series are gold!
Only one question: how come San has a family (grandson, great-granddaugher, etc.) if he never married anyone after Ms. Wad died? Has he been married before meeting her? Did I miss something? I love his entire family, though, they are hilarous.
Atom hasn't got a chance in hell. It's obvious that Zen's been in love with Ryu for some time and it hurts him that Ryu's sending so many mixed signals. On the other hand, I understand why Ryu is reluctant to get involved with Zen; he cares deeply about him and wants to protect him.
I'm so glad both mains are equals here, unlike in the other Meen/Ping series.
Continuing to love the series, and getting two episodes a week makes it even better.
I normally only comment on series I liked, because I watch for entertainment and escapism and hate negativity, but here, I'll make an exeption, because this could'be been so good and then the last three episodes happened and ruined it.
It would've been the best BL series this year if they'd allowed Joe to grow up, learn from his mistakes, take his second chance and actually use it, get over his toxic ex whose redemption act I personally didn't buy, and build himself a new life and find a new love eventually. Instead, Joe made the same mistakes again and again and went through even more suffering because for some reason, he wanted to be with a jealous, possessive, selfish man who hit him with a baseball bat on the head, chained him up, humiliated him and used him as a stand in not just once, but twice.
The last episode was ridiculous. I can barely deal with Ming getting redeemed, but Tong too? Really? And the father accepted them just like that so quickly? It was way too happy for such angsty series with so many faulty and complex characters. This is one of the few series where I would've been happier if there hadn't been a happy ending for the main couple.
There were only two things I liked in the last episode, and I want to mention them. The first was that finally, after many years, Ming apologized for what he did to Joe. It was long overdue, but at least it happened. I'm also not mad that Joe forgave him, it's important to forgive in order to move on. For the record: it's possible to forgive someone and still not want to have anything to do with them. The second was the hinted relationship between Ming's brother and the secretary.
Finally the story is picking up and I'm fully invested. The first episodes on the island felt disjointed to me, now with the backstory at last some things start to make sense.
Peat was so brilliant in this episode. <3 I've always been a fan, but damn, he really slayed this time.
I can't believe people are calling Pon unattractive. Even with that haircut (which I don't understand why directors…
The haircut wouldn't look good on anyone and I don't get why they insist to style him like that either. In the teaser for the series, his hair looked better.
Despite that, Pon is attractive and cute and he and Sailub are well-matched, despite being different types.
Very good first episode. Great acting and the background and conflict were set up nicely. Some people are disappointed…
Thank you for this comment! For me it's so obvious that the SL is not about Methas and the deception plot, but about Plawan and Oab's character developments and how they would help each other. Plawan obviously needs to get some direction in life, because right now he has none, and Oab needs to relax and find his passion again. This is what the series is about.
Agree! But I think he's gonna change that only right decision too! 😄
Yeah, I watched the preview for ep. 12 after posting here and I think you're right. Ouch. There's no way to cure Joe and Ming's obssessions with each other, as it seems.
Joe's got the be the stupidest character in the BL universe ever.
At least in the end of episode 11, he made the right decision for once. When he got his second chance, he should've never brought himself into the same situation again in the first place.
I agree, 7.8 is not a bad rating and I would be totally ok with it , if other BLs which are obviously worse wouldn't be rated way better for some unknown reason. Or maybe the GMMTV BLs automatically get better ratings because they are from GMMTV?
SailubPon's characters are so different here than in Pit Babe, it's unbelievable.
From what I see, Plawan will help Oab to rediscover his passion, while Oab will give Plawan some direction in life, because he really needs it.
Plawan's so bad at cooking, OMG, it was embarrassing to watch, but also very funny.
I wonder why Oab chose Plawan at all, it's obvious he can't cook. Is it because he's amused by him or does he already like him? Although, Oab's selection was somehow more based on looks than anything else from what I saw. ;)
And the award for the most annoying ex ever goes to... Max!
Seriously, it's been a while since a character has annoyed me so much that I wanna punch my computer screen everytime he appears on it. The guy is really something. I wonder how a lovely, nice guy like Thanwa would end up with him.
Peak is so stupid, OMG. I wanna punch him too, but for different reasons.
Thanks God for Latte and Almond, because the Peak/Thanwa pairing is so frustrating to watch right now, with the stupidity, misunderstandings and the horrible ex. Please bring Jane back, she was way better.
I was expecting Ryu's character to be all about basketball, but it's actually Zen who puts basketball above anything else. I mean, he literally has two cute guys fighting for him and is still all "OMG bastketball, we have to win, we have to be a team, we must do everything for basketball, who cares that I was kidnapped, whatever." I can't with the guy, honestly. ;)
Absolutely love the show and am elated for the two episodes a week and very happy that Century of Love and Meet Me at the Blossom will be following this example.
