Jimmy's a douche (most of the time i just cringe at his flirting, as he comes of sleazy not sexy - how Toh the adult not reacting similarly is mindboggling) so i could care less that he suddenly cried - btw he suddenly so in-love that he's heartbroken? really?? the same dude that's been bed-hopping from the start?? i don't buy it - not fitting the character at all. the fact that Teh kinda double crossed his bff would be a big deal, if that same bff wasn't the same rat that's cozying up to his older brother, just to get at Fah.
so far ironically the only one i like is Teh, Toh is the adult but he's acting like a clueless child skipping in a mind field, he's asking for trouble (as his brother already warned him about Jimmy). Fah is the best looking in the group IMO (idk about personality, as haven't seen enough of him to figure him out) & Jimmy π€·ββοΈ is just π« there is nothing likeable about this character π€¦ββοΈ
this was ridiculously fun. i genuinely didn't know how i would feel as these short-time BL's r a hit or a miss & as long as u binge watch it, it can be quite ok - if it's good.
this was choppy acting, well both the dialogue & the bad acting made me laugh out loud throughout this BL & not cause this was a comedy. but this was fun & i liked the mains & even the weird ass side character's all going over the top with their dialogue - it all felt like a stage play put on by 1st yr drama student's, that were trying to be overly dramatic & make a memorable immersion in the few sec's of screen time they got.
Zen's robotic personality was weirdly charming & so used to seeing Tiger in bad-guy roles this was a refreshing shift in character's. on a whole even though i shouldn't have, i kinda enjoyed this & laughed my ass off even though the plot itself what whacky world worthy; the grape at the start, they being half siblings & then not, the abuse etc... pretty heavy subjects shoved into this 1 hr BL. but this was fun even if it was bad. for sure a rewatch ππ
I still stand by my initial reaction that this has been a bit overrated. It was definitely cute with some charming…
u r right - personally i think it was great until the last few eps - it wasn't teen love it was more preadolescence love - it was too naΓ―ve & immature (& i don't mean i needed an erotic scene) but the feeling was just too childish & i think that's why, this was more of a miss then a hit. that's why i was pleasantly surprised by the special ep (the 1st ep aired today) which i personally i enjoyed way more then the last few eps of this drama. now am hoping the 2nd (last ep) wont be a repeat of ep 10. π β
There are two special eps. Special ep 2 next sunday!
my bad - i saw the link to the special in the related content part & deleted my comment & only then got a notification, that someone answered me. so thank U π π
Can you spoil it for me please when you said if only you know what he went through in the novel. I want to read…
i haven't read the novel - i meant watching his mother die & the abuse he suffered from his father & half siblings. what was hinted at in the BL or covered in a few scenes, i am sure in the novel u go into more detail of what he goes through.
btw given Fan Xiao's personality i am wondering if Shu Lang suddenly bumping into him, is just a coincidence or all orchestrated - cause i doubt there was a moment where Fan Xiao didn't know where Shu Lang was, after they parted ways. so after everything we have seen, i don't think i could ever truly trust Fan Xiao & i wasn't the person wronged like Shu Lang, so can he every truly ever trust him enough, to take him back?!??? idk - & now that he has a child dependent on him, in reality he never would chance it IMO but obviously the BL & reality have little to do with each other ππ
anyone saying "...oh how can u not feel bad for poor Fan Xiao, if only u know what he went through in the novel..." sorry not everyone read the novel & they (i) only have the BL to go off. & yeah i feel bad for how he grew-up & his past trauma's, but(!) as i always say - just cause u r hurt doesn't(!!!) justify u hurting others! β
