In the latest episode they touched on subjects like homophobia, transgender and gender dysphoria and reassured…
I agree. Yes, this latest ep touched on all those subjects (and very nicely, too). However, do you think this series (not just this ep) reflects the lgbtq+ community as a whole?
First of all, when did you have time to write all of this? LMBO! I admire you! I had similar sentiments. BUT,…
LMBO! I wondered if anyone else caught that as well, about the nose bleeds. But, it was a good dramatic effect. HaHaHa! Agreed, a LOT was packed into about a 15-minute story.

I also commented about the brevity of the eps. I think that is what bothered so much. Character development was going good and then bam, the ep. is over. They could've given at least one ep devoted to the clash between the families, without going into too deeply. I agree, the passion of their scenes were pretty intense. Although, the classic falling down and kissing each other was a bit much -- okay, it was fine for the bathtub, but then at Aiooun's place as well. Hmmm. I think if the eps were about 25 minutes, better character and story development could've occurred.

Yeah! It actually was a lot to express about one ep. However, you captured the entire essence of the series thru your review of this one ep.
P.S. Fish Upon the Sky and My Engineer were my guilty pleasures. Yes, both were tropes, and a bit on the childish side. But, they were also humorous, not overly filled with toxicity, and a feel good ending, the quintessential BL romcom. LMBO!
With episode 9 we have solved an ages old mystery of the human condition. Spontaneous Human Combustion. Because…

Wow! In reading some of the comments, I want to cringe! TBH, I don't have a problem watching a BL (with different characters) for comic relief every so often. Now, whether I agree with some of the posters that this is or isn't a reflection of the lgbtq+ community, as a whole, I'm unsure. The lgbtq+ community is constantly changing and adding nuances (much like the non-lgbtq+ community), and at times it is difficult to reflect all those nuances in a tv series.
IMO, this series wasn't that bad. It had some serious flaws that could've been resolved with a few additions/corrections to the plot, a little more time per ep., and a couple of more eps. What we got was a shortened version of a complicated plot. I believe it was supposed to be your typical enemies to lovers plot. But, there was so much background mentioned, but not explored, that we really couldn't be invested in the story. But, the mains were attractive and did seem comfortable with each other (especially during the kissing scenes). If for some reason (I know not why) they should make a season 2, they may want to revisit the flaws of season 1 and correct those before attempting to start a new story.
I thought at the start that the badass kuea was the ‘real’ kuea so i was hoping that as he opens up to lian…
Also, I'm sorry. But, I still have that pic in my head of the "pervy old man" (Lian) waiting in the wings to be the first to "deflower" the "kid" (Kuea). I know that some instances the age thing isn't relevant, but sometimes "it is," especially when you have an adult and 20 year old (with a childish demeanor).
