Actually, this is what a sadomasochistic, codependent relationship looks like.Also, you labeled their relationship…
So, you're referring to the 5 likes on your very first comment, and the zero likes on your subsequent comments, correct? lol And no, I don't pay much attention to how many likes my or anyone else's comments get.
Quick English lesson: "...but you're not my perspective" is incoherent. Try "but if you don't share my perspective."
I agree; I think it's just because we are literally seeing Ryo being so sad that we might see Futami as annoying.…
Yes. After I left the comment to which you responded, I read through others and determined it's the jealousy thing that I'm supposed to be feeling the angst about. However, the bowl cut guy turned out to be harmless and Ryo knows that, so I don't get what the melodrama is all about.
He saw them together on the street after Zen had said he was still working, which he only said to cover that he was shopping for a present for Ryo, and it was clear that Zen and Futami were going their separate ways home, so again, I'm not getting where this is all coming from.
It seems too low-key to serve as a climax to this story.

If you're suggesting I took down a comment, you are mistaken. If not, I don't know what you're yammering about.
The problem might be that English is your fifth language.
Who are these "5 people" you're on about? lol And now you're back to labeling their love, then saying you're not labeling it. You are correct, my calling your words lame does not change the fact that they're lame.
Because this series is quite faithful to the source material. Futami is portraited perfectly so far, according…
THIS.
I've been saying it for years. lol Save your angst, the "This is what's going to happen in the adaptation because it's what happened in the Manga and no changes are ever made" people are never going to catch a clue.
The most entertaining part is when they share what was in the Manga as if reading the Ten Commandments from Mount Zainai. :)
Episode 8: I'm lost. I'm not getting why Ryo's so stressed, when everything he might have suspected between Zen and Futami turned out to be nothing...?
Why was his asking Zen to stay overnight, presented as if it were some climactic event?
I felt like 7&8 held the promise of drama, but actually, not much happened.
On edit: After reading comments below, I guess I got what I was supposed to get, that Ryo is jealous and that Zen isn't good at assuaging that jealousy, so Ryo is lost in it and sad, but...it all comes off so low-impact to me that I'm not feeling it.
Episode 7: wtf happened? How did I get two episodes behind? Am I on drugs but don't know it?
Anyway...Futami's a quirky guy. I like him. Cute, too. The hair is ridiculous, but that's why it's fun. :) I was hoping Ryo would catch him putting the moves on Zen when he came out of the bedroom after his drunk nap, but it was a fake-out preview tease. :( That could have been some major drama. As it was, I'm not sure why Ryo was down when Zen left...
Chinese drama are dubbed most of the time. It is due to different dialects. You know before you start watching.…
"...most of the time." This means it's not true some of the time, especially in cases where the show is out of Taiwan or Singapore. Thus one can only know by checking. Why do you care if I occasionally watch part of a show to see whether or not its other attributes outweigh its dubbing or whether it's dubbed at all?
why r u so pissed over a good drama? lolif you hate them this much then Just stop watching chinese actors that's…
No one's "pissed," child. No one "hates" this show. That's you melodramatically fangirling.
As far as I know, it's not possible to know if a show is dubbed without watching at least part of the first episode. Then comes the determination as to whether the plot/story/acting of the live actors outweighs the melodramatic acting of the voice actors. Then comes the decision whether or not to drop the show, which I do in nearly every case. See how that works?
There's no need to make a blanket choice to "stop watching Chinese actors." But you can do that if you want to.
It's ok to not like this show, but it's not ok to mock people that actually liked the show and call them Bot.You've…
THIS, this, a thousand times this!!!
"Also, it is juvenile that we all have to keep writing "this is just my opinion and everyone has their own opinion,, blah blah blah. YES. of course! I know people's comments are their opinions because they are writing the comments which contain their opinions. Why do we all have to keep reassuring each other that our opinions are our opinions, which are obviously our opinions because, you know, we wrote them? lol"
This is one of about 10 films that keep pulling me back in for repeated viewings, and during each one, I discover new, small bits and pieces.
I doubt I'll ever "figure out" either of these two guys, but doing so isn't a goal any longer. How many of us walk through life without figuring out ourselves, let alone someone else?
I used to think, "I don't even like these dudes. Why do I keep coming back?" But then I realized I like various parts of both of them a lot, and maybe I don't need to decide whether I like either one as a whole, whatever that means.
I'm bumping my rating up from 8.5/10 to 9/10... for now.
Episode #2: Wow...I'm finding myself deeply moved by many aspects of this show. I was in similar situations several times in my childhood/teens. The writers/director are nailing certain vibes/feelings. I just wish he'd stop telling me how to feel, moment-to-moment, with music cues. lol If you pay attention to the frequency of these, they become comical.
Good acting, especially from Gemini. He is a Tomcat, licking its chops as it toys with its prey, waiting for juuuuuuuuuuust the right moment to pounce. ;)
I've a feeling I know how one aspect of the plot may resolve. Has anyone here seen the old, early 1960s American, Walt Disney flick, "The Trouble With Angels?"
So...do you think that rating is too high or too low?
But, you can't give a 7.9 rating, correct? Is there some way to rate along the 1/10th points that I don't know about?
I don't really rate shows here like the majority of MDLers seem to. For me, if I think a show is lame but watch to the end, I won't hesitate to rate in anywhere from 5-7. Then, as a show grows incrementally better in my view, I will rate it anywhere from 7-10.
If I think a show sucks, I drop and rate it 1/10. To me, if a show is so bad that I don't want to watch it, it is of no value. I would give it a 0/10 if I could.
That's why I get a chuckle out of MDLers stressing about the difference between a 7.9 and a 7.1 or whatever. I'm always like, "Hey, what about the numbers from 8-10, don't they count? :)

Essentially, I was saying that if you didn't like this show, it must be because you aren't bright. :P
Your comment led to my learning wth an "eldritch entity" is.
I like the concept. :)

But you can do that if you want to.
One of many lame phrases used as if it's true because some Internet rando, in this case you, said it.
Cuts no ice with me.
I don't know about you and your notifications.
I'm not taking down any comment and I'm happy to show my "attitude." lol
Sorry.
