What a riot. I think the entire office should have their IQ re-checked. If it wasn't because of Ten who sees his grandma waving at him, they would've never found Heng.
The treasure was probably buried by the ancestors of that dog who buried Heng's socks.
Heng had a slight smile receiving Mo's kiss on his forehead. That kiss is gonna reappear in his flashbacks.
Why are y'all bashing Yotha. Beside a couple of slip ups, he didn't do anything wrong. He did not start those fights. He was unfortunate for being in the wrong places at the wrong time. Klao was the hotheaded one and those thugs for no reason came out of the blue. and attacked.
Yoth was wrong for not staying when Gun asked him not to go out. I don't want to further discuss kissing Wa because we all knew his intention. In my book, it was not unfaithful to prove a point.
Regardless, I enjoy the parts that Yotha insisted Gun to knotting his tie in front of everyone in the classroom.
Somehow Boss and Noeul make me enjoy the chemistry between Phu and Cir more than I had with Rain and Payu. Phu and Cir are getting cuter the more time they spend together. I had a good laugh when Phu took Cir to see the monk, shaman, and witch doctor. None works out, but poor Phu keeps apologizing. Phu was cuter thinking he's the cause of Cir infidelity. In the end, he was willing to be a stand-in. 😆
Episode 3 shows events whether at random or out of sequence make this series a mystery thriller just like 4 Minutes. We got new characters involved in Cir and Phu's affairs, there are strange phenomenal scenes of Cir being transported to different spaces and realities.
I am now more invested in this series and will see it through.
I can't believe I'm saying this but... Maybe Yotha needs to talk more and kiss less.
I was fooled into thinking his last kiss lost its charm. I didn't want Gun to give in so easily, but he ended up inviting Yoth to walk with him on the beach.
I hope Yoth did not smirk when Gun invited him and thought his kiss did the magic.
Episode 10 is "Trouble in Paradise" for Yoth and Gun. This is the episode where Yotha got a wake-up call just like Arc had when Arm was scratched up in the car accident.
I feel bad for Yoth being seen as the bad guy in this episode. It all started with the absent mother who put Yoth in a bad mood. The way I saw it, Yoth did no wrong except for not heed and stay when Gun asked him not to go to Newton's bar. First, it was Klao who punched him. Then the thugs out of the blue attacked Yoth. Well, Yoth was wrong in kissing Wa to prove a point. Too bad, Gun saw him in the act.
I also feel bad for Gun who saw a lot of different sides of Yoth. It was too much to process and that put Gun into a shock state.
This is the first time for me to see so many guarded and protected the protagonist in all of the bl series I've seen. I'm happy that Arm helped Yotha when others turned on him. I mean Yoth finally seeks help from his peer mentor though it wasn't academics.
Again, I want to commend the writers. My favorite part of the script for episode 10: "Do you just want your old roommate back? Or do you want Gun back?"
Credit Arm for being a philosophical mentor or credit him for his comedic persuasion trapping Gun into spending a weekend with Yotha.
Anyway, this is another good episode to enjoy. TBC Looking forward to seeing Uncle Tay who will unofficially marry Yoth and Gun with his craft.
There's a concept in temporal mechanics that an altered timeline will always try to correct itself. I'm not sure…
It's kinda messy in these past two episodes. Being that this has 6 episodes, I hope they will uncover the mysteries of the portrait and the guy who warned Shenan the hazard of the butterfly effect and whatever else I've missed or would sprung up in the following episodes.
I am curious about the portrait of Shenan sketched by Shiwen. The timeline does not align or maybe there's a change due to the butterfly effect that the mysterious figure warned Shenan about.
Regardless, I'm accepting this is fiction and toss logic out of mind. First, where are the parents? And, how could Shiwen not know the basics of when to step on the crosswalk, colorblind or not. He mindlessly walked in while others around him stood still waiting at the corner. And also, why Shiwen hadn't considered corrective lenses for color blindness before when painting is his dream goal? Or maybe he couldn't afford them?
On the bright side of this story is Shenan has another chance and now knows about Shiwen's disability and the cause of it. And it's nice that Shenan goes out of his way and goes beyond to make Shiwen happy. It's too bad he's not aware of Shiwen's feelings for him.
I gather that Shenan still does not know that Shiwen sees him more than a friend. So for now, Shenan only sees Shiwen as a friend or as a young stepbrother. Looks like it is still an unrequited love for Shiwen.
Those of us who spent our 20's in the real BL world can certainly relate to this series and what you wrote! Great…
You said it and much better than I could put into words. "Love in the Big City" hits me hard. It was as if it was biographical. I was reliving my own old days hanging out with friends, drinking and getting drunk while working up the nerve to hook up with that one guy of the night. You are right, MM relationships are not all sunshine and roses depicted in the bl series. Those failed relationships are no different than those of MF ones. They're just as messy. Like the protagonist of LitBC, I live on and not regret much. Dwelling got tiresome. Years later, those became distant memories.
First, I am glad that we have an episode of Pepper even though we have already seen snippets of him in previous episodes. But this one shows how important Per is to MARS. This boy band group is so wholesome.
That aside, here are a few of my notable scenes for episode 6: 1. Jun calling Po "Why are you being so rough, Babe." then Po "Babe, my foot. Did you betray me already? 2. Jun and Nano investigating Pepper's significant other. Only to discover that Ming and Tae were wearing matching rings. 3. Per going after Jun for hitting on Gam. The boys are so cute together attempting to slow down Jun for Per.
No wonder Per was good at giving Thame advice at exploring his feelings for Po. Per is a man with experience. I love that about this series. The love advice comes from the person who knows, not a confuse-love-sick talk with single but know-it-all kinda friends. Even though Thame hadn't had a chance to talk about his plan on a movie date, Per had figured it out after seeing the tickets.
Honestly, I wanted to squeal so hard every time Thame and Po were so close to saying "I like you." Three short single syllable words teetering on the tip of their tongue but never roll off. They kill me. For instance, picking up from the end of the previous episode and after a significant amount of time hugging, * Po broke the awkwardness, "Are you trying to prove something?" * Thame shyly, "Well, I just want to make sure I haven't hurt you. It does help me understand something." {As Thame took his sweet time forming his thoughts, I was dying in wait for him to speak fast...] * It was so obvious what Thame wanted to say, however, Po acted curiously, "What do you mean?" * Again, Thame dragging his time says, "My feelings.... I got to realize that...." [I was frustrated but I let it slide because that was at the beginning of the episode.]
I won't go into much detail at the end when they don't want to part ways. Them walking in silence back and forth between the bus stop and Po's apartment obviously was their non-verbal admission that they like each other already. Enough of the cuteness overload. They were constantly stealing glances and cutely smiling at each other whenever their eyes met. [I was pulling and twisting my throw blanket because the episode is coming to an end.] In the end "I like you" were not expressed but only went on and on with their cryptic talk about maintaining 5 meters apart or being 5 cm too far.
Hmph! typical drama teaser for a cliffhanger. I am throwing down my hands. TBC
Okay Cheater Screamers, WTH! This is a drama. There are plenty of undesirable plots that make dramas worth watching. What draws us to this series is the union of two men coming from their sex-less relationship. We knew that from the first episode laying out the foundation of each man's sexual orientation and his own love status. We've tuned in to the second episode to see how they go from faceless text buddies to meeting face to face. Furthermore, I'm certain we'll keep watching and shipping these two. Then what does everyone suppose will happen in order to liberate them from a lust-less relationship to a spicier lifestyle!? If each of them won't break the shackle of their mundane existence by the end of the next episode, I would drop the boring series.
On a side note, Idk whether anyone here have seen "Brokeback Mountain." It is a well known international awards winning LGBTQ film about a love affair between two married men. What makes this movie interesting is keeping their wives from knowing their secret affair. My point of this is that "Futtara Doshaburi - When It Rains, It Pours" and "Brokeback Mountain" are interestingly similar in regards to cheating spouses.
So can we look past the infidelity issue in this series?
I'm kinda slow in reading subtitles on a small screen. Also, the texts that they are sending to each other are kinda cryptic to me. I'll have to watch these episodes again to decipher their intellect.
The parts that I get from the first two episodes are both men are living a sex-less life with their respective partner. Somehow, a work related text message was sent to the wrong recipient. Anyhow, the men continued texting each other and became text buddies exchanging personal point of views.
I guess up to this point, though the men are work acquaintances they have yet to realize that they are each other's text buddies!? The progress of their friendship is slowly developing. I am invested in the growth of their relationship.
Plus, I am 🫠 by the visuals of three core male characters and am waiting to see more of them again.
Give me a moment to remember what has happened in the first two episodes. Oh yes, handsome men, what else? Even the platinum blonde professor was gorgeously handsome. Bless them for casting two good looking actors to play the gay siblings just like the handsome brothers in "Your Sky" played by Thomas and Por.
So the first two out of a 9 episode series are introductory to the characters. Both the main couple and secondary couple started out on the wrong foot, not making a good impression on their first meeting At first, I thought Yu Xin was suffering from car sickness. That's why he asked the driver for motion sickness medication. It turns out Yu Xin was also nauseous riding the scooter. Thus he vomited onto Xu Lu Hui. Yu Xin seems like he could only commute by bicycle.
I'm amazed by many recent bl series have gay siblings. I mean right off the bat in the first episode we saw big brother Xu Li Xi browsing a web page full of topless muscular men. Then it just so happens that he gets to ogle the new neighbor hot bod. They wasted no time and showed us Xu Lu Hui distracted and couldn't look away from Yu Xin's fine physique.
So the forbidden love mentioned in the synopsis would be the affair of the substitute teacher and his student!?!
Alone and Kaitong turbulent relationship kinda mirrors Heng's own experience living with Mo. In the end, understanding the ways Alone and Kaitong compromised in order to have each other in their lives, Heng learned the importance of living with Mo.
😅 Boss' surprised reaction after Heng sprung the question to bunk with Mo at camp. 😝 Steal Boss' chance of sleeping under the same tent with Heng. ⛺
Looking forward to seeing how the office's camping retreat would bring Mo back to living with Heng again.
The treasure was probably buried by the ancestors of that dog who buried Heng's socks.
Heng had a slight smile receiving Mo's kiss on his forehead. That kiss is gonna reappear in his flashbacks.

Sorry, I rambled off on a tangent.
That aside, here are a few of my notable scenes for episode 6:

then Po "Babe, my foot. Did you betray me already?
