really wanted to love this & was kinda enjoying the very innocent & sweet relationship between Sun & Lin (especially as watched Big Dragon not long ago), but by ep 3 it started to get old. it turned from sweet to infantile... like sorry, but no matter how much of a virgin u r & how little knowledge u have about sex - Lin lacks basic common sense(?) that he is so naïve he puts his hand on Sun's crotch & doesn't realize, the result?!? - this one scene among a long list, that i just couldn't ignore the stupidity of it all. add to this the fact that as much as Lin's bff r supportive, they r doubly intrusive & annoying, the side couples (neither one - could care less about the GL or whatever that was supposed to be, talking about the guy's only) could make me tough it out & stick to the bitter end. which would be bitter given the fact that from ep 5, i basically fast-forwarded the whole ep - so stopped in ep 7 cause that's no way to watch a BL or rate it.
there people that enjoyed this & cause of them i gave it a go in-spite of the bad reviews & rating. oh well at least i tried, sadly this was a waste of time for me ✌
yeah, from what i read one of them (i forget who) got married & divorced a 1yr later & went after the other one. they have been together for over a decade - i also heard that they have been living in Thailand - but idk how much of this is accurate. but there a lot of their vlog where they r like a couple - celebrating new yrs etc...
idk what surprised me more, the fact the main couple r a couple in real life or that LFS funded this BL, which i guess they wanted to make since Addicted. hope this helps them create more BL's, cause i doubt the mainstream industry is that welcoming of gays, let alone anyone that starred in a BL. so the only way they can achieve something, is if they succeed with this BL, so they can fund more 👍
I know it's just a Japanese BL series, so don't expect too much, but...is this what love looks like? After all,…
must say reading ur comment, i wondered if we were watching the same BL - cause i thought they very in-love & show their affection constantly. maybe there no NC scenes, but they r very very affectionate & loving IMO putting the impending separation aside, the main couples depicts a serious live in relationship, that is mature & biased on deep emotions, not just lust - this the type to relationship that will last /survive even the long distance faze.
so IMO this 2nd season & the couple r doing a great job in showing us, how deeply they love & care for each other 🤷♀️
these type of BL's r cute, but way too short & finish before they even get started. it was very sweet & enjoyed the chemistry between the mains. that built in a blink, but it didn't feel rushed & we got the whole plot. still, this just a taster & most BL fans want a full meal 🤷♀️
I think it’s mostly a matter of personal feeling. If someone doesn’t like a couple, their scenes can quickly…
maybe u r right... & i like Fah, now Teh is another matter - even though i only have a problem with him when it comes to his behavior with Jimmy & Toh. still i feel like almost every ep, their scenes end up being sexual. & as a BL viewer, it aint new to see varying levels of PDA, but mostly they don't come off exploitative - here it bothered me 🤷♀️
how ironic that the character that i have come to actively detest is Teh - i can't stand the MOFO & i am getting really tired of watching him & Fah's f*ck, it's starting to feel exploitative - not that i don't get why, as this whole BL is a bit of a drag, so they supposedly adding some much needed spice to every ep. but it just feels wrong. u can't freakin dump a whole bucket of salt into the soup, u need to do it in moderation 🤷♀️
& read some comments basically talking smack about the Dentist, personally i think he felt something was off with Toh & was over doing it, in the hopes of not just lifting Toh's mood, but in the hopes of conveying his feelings. that's what a normal human will do, for someone they interested in, he over did it cause Toh was like a freakin wet blanket most of the time, giving zero reaction. so the Dentist kept trying. personally i think having to 'baby' someone for 2 months into any relationship would make most people reevaluate wanting to be in that relationship. but he fell hard (i guess) that after talking to Run, he decided Toh was worth the headache & he wanted to put some much needed distance between him & his ex. hoping it would take Toh out of his funk & make him finally notice the Dentist. too much work for an unworthy character IMO, but it is what it is when it's written this way. this whole ep & BL is full of clichés & tropes that r ridiculous... but 1 more ep to go thank f*ck 🤦♀️
side note: from the start been saying that Run the best looking guy here (Fah comes 2nd, sorry) & given his ex was an abuser, i get his thinking Jimmy was the best of the bunch - he isn't - Run should thank his lucky stars & move on, but hey i think Fah should do the same 😂✌
idk why 3 eps dropped one after another, but we already at the end & it's kinda frustrating cause as much as i am enjoying myself & loving this, it feels too short & i doubt will feel different when we reach the last ep. it's like we r skimming the surface & not exploring the depths, that could be.... given the chemistry between the mains & that is disappointing to me. same with the side story, there is so little of them that it's another plot that's underdeveloped & a shame IMO. & yeah given the shortness of this BL i guess what we got isn't bad - but still after every ep (especially at this stage) i feel like this is more of a 'miss then a hit' - which is such a shame & waste of the talent 🤷♀️
what the hell did i just watch.. but great acting, Tontae freakin broke my heart & i didn't think i would be crying my eyes out in the last ep - not considering the amount of eye rolling i've been doing watching this BL. but cute all in all & still say that this would've been a much better romance between Tontae & Nan Krai - maybe if the plot was changed into a romcom with a tourist falling for a local, it would work with the Taiwanese twin. but as is, the main romance fell flat IMO & only the tragedy & Tontae acting gave any gravitas to the mains romance (in the last ep - throughout it was mainly cringe).
The doctor is better off packing a suitcase, booking a one-way flight to England, and staying at least 10,000…
from the start been saying that it's genetics, as both brothers be like dumb & dumber 🤦♀️idk how Fah still around. we didn't need to see his test result, to know he's the smart one in that group (in this BL). he too should save himself the headache & book a seat next to the dentist 😂now that's a 'happily ever after' i could root for 😁
The only one I feel sorry for is Dr. Freeze. He has no idea he is in the presence of a basket full of deplorables.…
agree, the sec the dentist came into the picture i face palmed cause he doesn't need the headache, let alone to be used just to be tossed aside, when Toh decides he misses getting his bollocks stepped on 🤦♀️
how ironic, i started this detesting Jimmy (& it's not that i love him now, but i don't actively hate him) not with Toh & Teh topping that list, like WTF... the way Teh is acting, i genuinely believe he "wants" Jimmy, dude is constantly thinking about & following him around, like a lost puppy. heck he cares more for him, then his own brother - he might say he cares for them equally - sorry family comes 1st & from where i am sitting Jimmy wasn't a good friend ever - period. & Fah (the ultimate power bottom) is the only sane/smart one in this BL 🤦♀️if i was him, i would've dropped Teh the sec i realized he was trying to setup his brother back with Jimmy. cause that tells me there's something not right with Teh's thought process & i donno if i would want to be in a relationship with someone that f*cked in the head, sorry not sorry, his priorities r messed up.
really like the Dentist & knew he is gonna get unnecessarily used & then tossed aside - meeh very cliché. heck maybe Fah can be with him. cause the more i watch this, the more immature Toh seems & now it's logical why he fell for an immature moron like Jimmy in the 1st place. if Toh was mature, he would've been candid with the Dentist (when he asked him the 2nd time to be his bf) told him that he was getting over a recent break-up & needed time, instead of playing coy -that's just annoying ! but we 2 eps from the end & "we" need to drag this out, so we get the "happily ever after" in the last ep. personally i don't feel there was enough time to see a growth in any character, for anyone to buy the sudden 180 with Jimmy, let alone Toh who was a doormat from the start, how/why he suddenly grow a backbone?? oh well, i just hope they don't harm the cat - like a "boy who cried wolf" scenario playing out to get Tph back with Jimmy - leave the cat of this mess thank U😅🖐
just rewatched, after idk how long & this time, didn't find this oddly disjointed (something that was explained away as a censorship issue, where after getting edited it was reedited cause it was still too "gay", in their eyes or some such..) enjoyed this watch - was this perfect - nope. was it fun - yes! & the BL was more hinted at... vaguely. but given the country & the time this was made - it's understandable.
this was fun & liked a lot of the character's, just wish the plot was fleshed out & we didn't (by the end) get left with so many plots, left open. would've loved some kind of closures - for one of the couples. of course one can look at it as an open end, where everyone found their own way to coexist with the person they cared-for... still feels to vague & unfinished IMO.
also i get that this an adaptation, but i didn't like the fact that the sister (spoilt as she was) was used the way she was. give the fact her brother loved her so much, duping her until the end & not having that whole plot go a more mature, less toxic way - would've been much appreciated. but by the end (ironically) it felt like it was cut off like Addicted - just in this case the censorship didn't stop the production & release of the rest of the eps. maybe it was just edited out & that's why it feels like there should be more.. more that will never come. maybe will all the remakes this will also get one, & it will be an actual BL. one can hope -
anyway rewatching this my rating for sure went up cause i actually enjoyed this, even if it wasn't perfect - it was fun!
the acting was bad, the sound track was whack & the audio was weird, but ironically i was entertained, as the bad acting was comical & the broad idea for the plot wasn't that bad - the main plus being it's length, as it was short & sweet.. so nothing dragged on too long so even if it wasn't good, everything was over in a blink. on a whole this was cute but nothing to write home about 😅✌
just rewatched & this time cause i fast-forwarded a ton of the side plots, i could finish this (unlike the 1st time i tired - where i dropped it around ep 30). the remake includes a lot of the plot from both seasons, so needed to rewatch both to see what was added, changed or taken out. i think giving the Jeed character minimum air time, was for the best. also i never understood why people wanted to pair Earn & Pete (who were never more then bff's) trying to make them more is just b.s. writing IMO & amounted to nothing in the remake too, at least here they were back to being bff's. & really appreciate that Aim got a remake & unlike this version (where she hit rock bottom) & got taken out, just so the mains could be together. there she wasn't used as a plot device but as a character worthy of a story of her own.
also know everyone really loves to hate of Yuri, who is very immature & clingy, but she is very sweet & bighearted, even though she was delusional & misguided is her persistent pursuit of Noh, she paid a heavy price & Noh really did her dirty. & she deserved better which in this there is a hint of hope with Pete being interested in her. in the remake she just fades into the background meeh - btw Noh also did Earn dirty - Noh the type of guy that doesn't want to hurt anyone, so goes along to get along & ends up hurting everyone.
so rewatching both seasons, seeing how bad the acting was & the mess of having so many plotlines that kind fizzed into nothing, shows how the remake is well thought out & even though a ton of the actors there sooo bleedin young, their acting is impressive in comparison. also like that a lot of the plot were axed. but like in this BL i wonder if the amount of young talent was wasted cause a lot of the actors here didn't go on to work after this drama - which makes u wonder...
add to this the fact that as much as Lin's bff r supportive, they r doubly intrusive & annoying, the side couples (neither one - could care less about the GL or whatever that was supposed to be, talking about the guy's only) could make me tough it out & stick to the bitter end. which would be bitter given the fact that from ep 5, i basically fast-forwarded the whole ep - so stopped in ep 7 cause that's no way to watch a BL or rate it.
