ah - cool.. i don't really care what actors do in their personal lives. i just asked cause i wanted to know if it was the actors or the character's, so thanks for the clarification ✌
so ep 14 has been a constant WTF move - one after another, if Ji came back cause of the Zhou family, WHY the F*ck would he bring his nephew?!? someone that is actually their blood & put him in danger, in any way??? it's like u know ur going into battle & show up with ur weakness highlighted for the enemy to target 🤷♀️ like make this make sense & if this genius move wasn't enough, we have Shen Mo deciding it was time to face his demons, when the mere mention of the Zhou family make his hand tremble in fear - so he came, why? if he had a ace up his sleeve that would help Ji to take down the Zhou family, i would get it. but that was a moronic move that just added to Ji's plate 🤦♀️WTF & his explanation, about making the matriarch of that family desperate - is stupid, cause a cornered animal will lash out in anyway to get free. if anything Shen Mo added to the list of people that r in danger, cause of his moronic move. i don't see how this helped Ji in anyway shape or form. if anything it put an unnecessary target on his own back... the cherry on top, his leaving the house & getting his ass kidnapped (yet again) 🙄talk about a bad cliché - the writer is on one hell of as acid trip 😂this plot is just plain ridiculous
I FINALLY understood everything and it finally actually had a really cohesive episode and then bam.. wait a week…
i get u, it's like given the hype u think ur in for one hell of a ride, but actually watching it, u wonder what was all the hype was about🤷♀️. yeah, on the same "boat" as u on that.... oh well 1 more ep's to go & then "the end" 😅
just finished this & have to say that by the end it turned into a chore - this got moronically ridiculous, it was overly dramatic & so cliché is was cringe inducing. which is a pity cause even if this wasn't perfect it was ok & the acting wasn't bad (not on the mains part - the others ahem - could use some work) but all in all the plot was interesting & was along for the rid but somewhere along the way this went off the deep end & i just kept rolling my eyes at all the "drama". ok for a one off, but a never again.
i might be the odd one out, but at this point i am just going through the motions & am wondering why they dragging this out for another 2 eps... what Shen Mo gonna lose his memory again?!??? & why now after almost a decade apart, Zhou Yang back in the picture?!? 🤷♀️the unnecessary drama of it all 🤦♀️
i've seen the mains in (🤦♀️*fixed it) Head 2 Head & Only Boo! & even though the BL's were like this, a very simple plot that wasn't much to write home about, their character's & the BL's on a whole were very wholesome & i appreciate that in all of their BL's, they get a chance play different character's & it's not a repeat of the same character, just with different names.... & as they both newbies, love that they have the chance to grow/train like this. also love that they aren't being forced into stereotypical b.s (that i 've seen with other BL actors - especially newbie's) where one has to look & behave extra feminine cause they the "bottom" - i like that they act & look like average teens/young adults - it adds to their charm IMO.
this BL - like i mentioned above was cute, with a simple plot that i liked on a whole, the only part i didn't get, that was dragged too long was the Oy - bully part. felt pointless & annoying given the fact that Oy was a bully through & through & yet the only one always getting punished was Niran. & then they even turned around & helped Oy when he was a mean guy from start to finish & didn't do one thing to redeem himself ugh that whole plot line annoyed me. other then that i love the wooing & friendship groups it was light & fun with some wholesome bits, but sadly it is forgettable... still gonna add it to my rewatch list for the says i aint looking for anything complex 😊 🖐
u got a long life, just finished this & though of u - cause the kisses in here hella cringe lol.. this why i wasn't that critical of the kisses in Tune In. maybe the kisses there, weren't steamy. but they were kisses, here idk... guess u could call it a touching of lips 😂🖐 but if u ignore that part, it was cute & very short so it got over in a flash🤷♀️
someone mentioned FC Sold-out & as i loved that, thought this would be similarly promising & it wasn't all bad. it was very short - u blink & it's over & as such, it was fine - acting was good, the plot was short & simple... but the kisses OMG they took me out. i would rather this was kept a bromance, where i got a hearty hug then those kisses - they made me cringe. but it is what it is - a 1 off as there way better short vertical BL's out there✌
"...painful not-kisses..."?!? maybe there was no tongue, but as the romance progressed the kisses got…
i get it - was joking 😋& agree, i didn't hate it too - it was short & cute for newbies that r just getting their "legs wet" i didn't have huge expectation's & the plot was kept simple. so all in all i liked it & could ignore if something weren't perfect & with newbies there is always room for improvement.
I should prolly not complain too much about the painful not-kisses, right? Right? Small company, small project.…
"...painful not-kisses..."?!? maybe there was no tongue, but as the romance progressed the kisses got better & i personally didn't find fault with them 🤷♀️
hmmm i got so much to say & idk from where to start.... 1st off the style of acting (if u can call it that) comes off amateurish & given the amount of NC scenes, that in-spite of Not being too graphic seem way to realistic, making me wonder is this basically softcore-porno?!? then of course i wouldn't expect any acting skill from the performers, same with the minimal dialogue & the plot as a whole. what i also (always) find so freakin weird in gay/bl related content - grape is a nonissue(?) i find this mindboggling how it's brushed off & neither the victim nor the perpetrator dwell on the traumatic event, they for sure don't seek justice or get punished - they just move on like whatever & worse, they somehow get into a relationship with each other - like the grape was a form of courtship. i can't warp my head around this sh*t.
some movies u watch, they a point in time in the lives of the character's that meet for the 1st time or old acquaintances & nothing dramatic happens, yet u r engrossed in the human interactions & the wholesomeness of it all - this wasn't that. WTF was the point of this?!?? Haruhiko wasn't a likeable character by the end & the fact his "relationship" with the bar owner who basically "broke him in" by drugging & then graping him into submission. why would he not listen to Shingo or ask him what happened?!? instead of believing the obsessive, possessive bar owner out right, given how he treat's him like a possession?!??? also he did nothing to change his circumstance, while cheating with Shingo - he knew he wanted out of his old relationship & to move on with Shingo, but did nothing other then b*tch & moan... ironic that the one to "take out" Shingo was his ex-gf & not the bar owner or (given the trauma & insulting rejection by his lover) he didn't end his own life.
would give this movie the benefit of the doubt; that it was produced in 1984, maybe low budge - by an indy cinema group (as given the period in time i doubt there were many mainstream companies rushing to produce gay content). & last but not least newbie actors that lacked the skills (even though the only guy credited here has only appeared in other gay movies - makes u wonder). there wasn't one thing i liked & more things to critic then i mentioned in my review - so this a one off & if i come across the sequel, ima skip.
another thing read comments regarding Nine needing help - he might, but from what he has done - i don't think there is a reason other then the desperation to better his statue in life - he keeps brining up Third's mother & his affluent background. i think that is the long & short of it - he wants money & fame & anyone he considers a threat, he will take down by any means necessary. how u treat that???? that not PTSD or trauma... & if people mentioning trauma, cause of how he reacted after slapping North. so maybe he had abusive parents, or maybe they were other "sponsor's" he cozied up too (before North) who were abusive. still that justify what he did(?) & has done(?) & how he choses to live his life?
it's his personality, not his trauma IMO only a lobotomy will help 😋 JK 😂🖐
i find it freakin absurd that Third basically f*cked over Wan by destroying the evidence & then comes to Wan 🤷♀️so Wan can console his sorry ass - like r u kidding me?!?? he wants to be used as Nine's doormat, he is more then welcome. but he had NO right to decide for Wan - & even if he didn't want to use the vid - he could've kept it just to hold it over Nine - to make sure he keeps to his word & doesn't target Wan every again - or Third such a big moron, he believes anything that comes out of Nine's mouth, after yrs of their acquaintance?!? like r u joking??? 🤦♀️ even the b.s Sunny fed him was utter crap - he should've reminded her, that in-spite knowing Nine was faking it, yet she rushed to attack Wan. how can she act like the victim or the good guy??? & HOW can Third keep buying their sh*t?!?????? ugh here i was worried Third's mother would make it hard for him to be there for Wan, she not even in the picture & he is worried about everyone else but Wan - make this make sense 🤬
& i really wanna know what Renji is up too - this the 2nd time he had info that could help, not just Wan but the agency he is signed too & thus knew they needed evidence that will clear Wan & with what he has got ,they can hold Nine's agency accountable. but he keeps the info to himself or gives it to someone that wont use it, so all that evidence turns to dust - like WTF 😫🖐
finally it's here💖 ugh seeing Kataoka does the heart good lol the versatile King is back & so is his brooding Queen 😅, when Odajima hid his phone, i was like such a wifey move - & of course Kataoka would go back to save that pathetic Kirii, in-spite of everything he did to them - cause Kataoka feels like he owes his father. & Odajima will follow his love blindly, even into hell.
i just hope the start & that dream isn't foreshadowing about a sad ending 😫🖐
& if this genius move wasn't enough, we have Shen Mo deciding it was time to face his demons, when the mere mention of the Zhou family make his hand tremble in fear - so he came, why? if he had a ace up his sleeve that would help Ji to take down the Zhou family, i would get it. but that was a moronic move that just added to Ji's plate 🤦♀️WTF & his explanation, about making the matriarch of that family desperate - is stupid, cause a cornered animal will lash out in anyway to get free. if anything Shen Mo added to the list of people that r in danger, cause of his moronic move. i don't see how this helped Ji in anyway shape or form. if anything it put an unnecessary target on his own back... the cherry on top, his leaving the house & getting his ass kidnapped (yet again) 🙄talk about a bad cliché - the writer is on one hell of as acid trip 😂this plot is just plain ridiculous
