BL Compilations

I totally missed that he is in the aerospace program haha. I think I might really like a character who is super book smart and has no street smart skills. Thus far, Nhai is giving off overall zero any kind of smart lol.

I agree with you that in the real world it's a good idea not to have a first sexual encounter with someone who is drunk. I was trying to decide if this was non con or consensual (I landed on consensual) and one way I figure it out is the reaction afterwards. The crying made me think it was non con but then around 23 minutes Nhai says "what have I done? I'm sorry Ai. It's my fault. Will I get into the face of the person you like?" (I think correctly translated to: Will I come between you and the person you like? or Will I get in the way of the person you like?) So Nhai wasn't crying because he didn't want to have sex, he's crying because he thinks that he got in the way of Ai and who Ai likes (and that person is Nhai, but Nhai is a himbo and doesn't realize it yet).

So dumb, he said he was going to get lost leaving Ai's condo building (which he has already left once), him thinking he might be trans because he slept with a guy, him constantly dropping that duck, him asking Siri/his phone ai about him sleeping with Ai, the list goes on. But he did have the idea of a one month trial to sort out his feelings so I guess that's something...

I (later) understood it as Nhai was sad that he got in between Ai and Ai's love interest (Nhai not realizing the love interest is actually him lol), not so much that Nhai was crying due to a sexual orientation identity crisis (but he did have one, I just don't think that was what made him cry post sex). Nhai is such a himbo, but I like him.

Ah okay, that makes sense. I've never seen that used in that way - it would be Ai Longs For Nai, I guess they shortened it

Yes, please do watch it. After seeing it I actually think it wasn't a bad ending but I don't want to spoil you too much.

it's a bittersweet ending which is honestly probably for the best for Wang

bittersweet ending which I'm actually fine with because In doesn't deserve Wang, highly recommend watching this series

It's not tragic but it's not a typical happily ever after, I'd label it as bittersweet

For those who were waiting to know the type of ending...

Thank you for the kind words. I do try my best to point out what I think went well and what did not work for me. My goal for my reviews is that it helps others know if it might be something they'd enjoy watching or not. My goal for videos is to spread laughter and my love of BL. Happy BL Watching!

👍

Thanks for the explanation about the 'brother' and 'sister' thing. I've frequently seen friend relationships translated into 'brother' and 'sister' which is confusing because where I live, people only use 'brother' and 'sister' for those who are biological siblings (guys might sometimes use 'bro' for a close friend, but not 'brother').

Glad I'm not the only person puzzled about where the water came from.

There was no/little skinship in Skinship, I'd skip it unless you really have nothing left to watch. It's sponsored by a skin health place if I remember correctly.

When he said he hadn't been hugged in a long time, my heart broke in two. Hope he finds an amazing boyfriend in the future.

I added a content warning and also added more thoughts about it, Ple did call him out on it but yes the whole conversation they had was strange/bad.

I think it might be airing on TV in Thailand but they needed to cut it so scenes didn't overlap since the commercial breaks were removed. I emailed them, perhaps in future episodes they'll edit this part better.

Something we all need to keep in mind is "reality" series are rarely reality. 1. The editing can be extremely misleading from changing the order of things to taking phrases/conversations out of context to not showing us things that are happening. 2. Things can be scripted. Producers might have told Chang Min to take the double and who to choose as his roommate for example. 3. Their contracts might include that they won't talk about if editing was misleading or they were told to do things, so we'll never know.

I appreciate that none of them seem to be intentionally mean as we see on many other reality series. I'd like some to communicate more/better but I don't see any villains.

My goals for the guys in this series were for them to have fun, maybe make a friend, and for being in the series to be neutral or be beneficial to their personal & professional lives. As much as I'd love 4 happy couples at the end, I was not expecting that to happen.

1 - Hyuk Jun (Eun Chan), he says he doesn't want a sweet date but wants to tell him something, I wonder if he's going to lay everything out although he doesn't think it's reciprocated; (Hokeep) says he's a mystery and wants to get to know him better; (Seon Yul) or it was mailbox 2 and Chan Kyu

either 1 Hyuk Jun or ??? Jeong Hyun (Chang Min) he said he wants to date again so it's either Hyuk Jun or Jeong Hyun

6 - Chang Min (Jeong Hyun) he's sad but I think he's still determined; (Lee Hyun) just admitted Chang Min was his first choice; (Hyuk Jun) also clearly likes Chang Min

8 - Hokeep, could be Seon Yul but I'm hoping it's Hokeep (Chan Kyu)

Possible Match - Chang Min and Jeon Hyun OR Chang Min and Hyuk Jun

My next comment is who I think is the owner of each mailbox (1 to 8 from left to right, parentheses are who wrote the letter)
