I'm 70. LOL.

For me, in the sexual relationship context, that yielding implies that you have no choice but to surrender. "Negative force" and "temptation" seem to lack willingness and keeps an internal battle unresolved.

I did chuckle at "...bends over."

Now if this drama would take a BDSM twist, it would all make sense to me.

I can't speak to absolutes about straight male behaviors. I also prefer acceptance instead of succumb. I'm a choice and consent person and succumb, when it involves intimate relations, feels a little icky and coercive to me. When you say "succumb" it instantly causes me to think there can, and will be, regret after intimacy.

But getting back to the drama...we know Han Joon has accepted his gayness and wants Yoo Jae to actually choose him and accept it as a valid love instead of being coerced., or swayed by temporary insanity of jealousy. From an actors standpoint, their chemistry isn't friendship or lovers. There's more chemistry between Boxing Hyung and Han Joon instead of the childish possessiveness and stunted emotions of Yoo Jae.

Yes, he held back. For me, that choice was frustrating and felt forced and unpleasant. It reminded me of God/Bas intimacy in 2 Moons. Of course, I need to consider that Jae Yoo is grappling with being gay for Han Joon. I firmly believe that the scene called for more desperation and it felt flat. It was a great opportunity for an "appetizer" kiss, but we got water and a wilted salad.

I think we'll get more misses and "I'm only gay for you!" However, it would be nice if we get a genuine and sincere hug, as I don't need for this drama to be sealed with a kiss. You know...since I'm "hate watching!" ha-ha.

For me, the scene called for desperate passion and instead, me, as the viewer, received "let me get this over with" intimacy. But, that's what angle kisses are all about - the viewer's brain fills in the gaps according to their personal perspectives and biases. You either enjoy the angle or you don't.

Yes, Double Mints was an excellent movie and fed my dark BL fetish quite well.

That neck miss...I've seen more passionate karate chops from Miss Piggy!!!!

I would love to see Boxing Hyung love Han Joon like he deserves.

Thank you!

I agree. I think I'm "hate watching" this! The weird camera angle guppy air kiss thing should be replaced with genuine warm hugs if you can't kiss same sex. Of course, it's probably fear based because if you're swapping spit, you might become aroused...

Exactly! Big brother was/is a gaslighting turd! Yutaka's family was supposed to nurture him and help him achieve a sense of healthy belonging. I can't say they failed...they didn't try.

Yutaka's family taught him deference. The Ueda family taught him love.

That's what his mother would enjoy. You saw her stealing those bills!

Too bad there weren't any hospital staffers to overhear that bold revelation at the restaurant!

We def IBB!!!!!!

Seeeeeeeeee, this right here is why we can't go clubbing!!!!! We that toxic MDL couple and I'm loving it!

Damn! Now we're moving in reverse. I'm disappointed in Mr. Pat!

Peach plays duplicitous characters quite well.

That Little House on the Prairie cooking/kitchen outfit made me howl!!!!!!!

That loud ass background music is so distracting!!!!!!

Yes I watched it.

My stomach curdled a little in the previews. It looks like side chick is leveraging Dr. Cha's mom's illness for whatever nonsense she wants.

In Ho and doctor side chick are a match made in hell and they deserve each. They are truly evil!
