Just found out they are getting married for real! I'm so happy for them. I can't believe it's been 5 years since this came out! I really need to do a rewatch now!
For everyone waiting for episode 6, I think people are forgetting we're still in a pandemic. They're going to meet in person so it makes sense that they need more time to film it while still staying safe. I want to see it as much as the next person, but I'm more than willing to wait for it so they can take all the right precautions.
I happened to get a chance to see this at TIFF's Inside Out Film Festival this year. I had really high expectations because I've never seen a movie with older gay leads, but it was honestly disappointing. Nothing really happened plot-wise and there wasn't any development in the characters :/
Ohh I'm currently watching Why R U?, 2gether, My Engineer and just finished En of Love: Tossara. I would say if you're hesitating, 2gether and My Engineer are both amazing and a must-watch for BL fans!! En of Love: Tossara was alright. It's short at 4 episodes so it's a good one to kill some time if you're bored. I'm going to see how the reviews turn out for the second and third, Love Mechanics and This is Love Story before I commit to watching them just yet.
I skipped out on GNR: Motorbike Baby just because I'm not a huge fan of Mook, but I'm definitely going to check out Midnight Fantasy and Richy Rich when they air for Singto and Mild! Otherwise, I'm super excited for Motor-Cycle (finally more BL not in taking place in a school!!). I actually saw the original Taiwanese version of Deja Vu when it came out! The story is super interesting in the beginning, but at least in the Taiwanese version it got really messy and draggy near the end so I'm hesitant to try this Thai version. I've never heard of Club Sapan Fine which is surprising considering all the actors and actresses I know in it, so I'll definitely be checking it out when it gets subbed.
Somehow I kind of enjoyed the latest episode... I don't know if I'm just getting used to the cringe, but I liked the confession scene. Even though I don't think there's a lot of chemistry between Gun and Bar, I actually felt like there was something there. I wonder what the last episode is going to be about since it seems like they've "solved" all the problems and gotten rid of the rival.
Movie looks exact copy of 2014 movie named Margarita with a Straw and they didnt even gave credit. What kind of…
Everything you've described does not happen in this movie. She's a 23 year old woman and not in university. She doesn't get any awards for her manga because she is not being recognized for her work. She's not getting any special favors from anyone and is instead being taken advantage of. Her mother is not ill, but very controlling. There isn't a social justice aspect to this movie, i.e. no protests. There is no relationship drama at all with cheating or getting dumped or moving on. While she is single by the end of the movie, it is implied that she might have a relationship in the future with one of the male characters in the movie. As well, there is an added plot about a twin sister teaching English in Thailand that the main character goes to visit which I'm guessing wasn't in Margarita with a Straw.
Maybe also consider that folks that are disabled may have similar narratives when it comes to independence? I am not disabled, but I do think that many folks that are disabled might be dealing with infantalization from family and friends and struggle to be treated like an adult. From what I heard, this script also had input from the main actress and her experience as a disabled woman in Japan. It has aspects of her own lived experience so how can you say it's a copy of another movie?
I understand that you really love Margarita with a straw, but you really don't gain anything by commenting on this page and saying 37 seconds is "exactly" like another movie. I don't think the director needs to give credit, because as far as I can see these are two different movies that just so happen to have a main character with cerebral palsy.

I haven't seen Margarita with a Straw, but I read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia and it's a completely different movie. Literally the only similarity is that they both have cerebral palsy. The main character in Margarita with a Straw is grappling with her sexuality as a person that is queer and disabled while in 37 seconds, it starts off with the main character trying to have sex for the first time for her manga, but it quickly changes into a journey for independence. She's not trying to find love as you said and in fact in the end of the movie she doesn't end up with anyone. It's is most definitely not an "exact copy" as you said.
For two of the three guys, I think it's really clear that they didn't make the right choice for their second chance. Gun doesn't know that Aye is in a relationship already and using him for writing inspiration and once Tisha regains her memory, she's going to know that she's not Pat's girlfriend and he lied to her. With Tai's story though, I know it's probably going to end up going badly, but I really really hope it doesn't. I do think he made the wrong choice last time by going into marketing and he is doing the right thing for himself now. The only thing is I wish he broke up with Nuea too instead of trying long distance as I think that's going to be his downfall with this second chance.
Overall, it's very interesting so far and I'm curious to see how these second chances are going to go for the three of them!
The first episode was alright, the second was getting better, and now I'm surprised to say I actually really enjoyed the third episode! Zon's freaking out is just so funny to watch. I absolutely cannot wait until Zon and Saifah get together!
