I think you missed the point - the English felt weird because it was badly integrated. You had Thai actors speaking Thai to each other and suddenly in the middle of a sentence they start speaking broken English. No reason, no other person joining, listening in, revealing something, etc.

You are correct, there are many shows with bad acting. You can blame the director, maybe he didn't care about acting - if that show would have been directed by a Federico Fellini or an Ang Lee, it would have been different. They both loved to use just ordinary people off the street. If they wanted them angry or crying, they made them angry or crying. In this show too many lines were just read without any emotion and felt disconnected from the scene. And for me the English was just horrible. If they can't speak it, use a teacher to help with the lines.

yep, disappointed too, this show had a lot of potential to be amazing

WOW !!!! I just finished watching this series - first the grades:
solid 10 for locations, lighting and cinematography (one of the best I have seen in a Thai BL)
9.5 for music, editing and for story POTENTIAL!
Solid 1 for acting, story development and for the armchair philosophy parts

Sorry, but this does not make any sense to me! Why do such an expensive high-quality production for a soft porn? I understand that the production saved a lot of money by not using professional actors and substituted with hot guys from a Gym with zero acting background and experience. At the end, not even the hilarious comedy/sitcom parts saved this series. I mean the parts when they suddenly started speaking English (i could not find a reason for these comedy scenes). At least it was really funny watching these bodybuilders, who did not speak a single word English, trying to read English dialogue phonetically word-by-word.
Anyway my final grade is 5.0 due the eye candy (not the acting) with an apology to the production team who did an amazing job.

no big finale, it looks more like a setup/teaser for season-2

So I just finished my "Cooking Crush" dinner. It was for sure not a a gourmet meal like "Last Twilight" that unfortunately had a rotten desert (last two episodes) and not the Michelin rated top of the line meal we got with "Love for Love's Sake". I would describe this series more as comfort food like a ... "cup-o-noodles". You know what's in the cup, you had the same predicable flavor plenty of times, not too spicy and goes down easy. It can give you a warm and fuzzy feeling on a cold winter night. But to give the series credit, it did add a few fresh ingredients. I liked the production, it had a good pace and the sound effects where not overwhelming. The chemistry between the characters needed some seasoning and the acting was a bit like mixed vegetables. Some scenes were really funny and some scenes where desperate attempts to be funny. I think the release timing was perfect. After some really great meals I did not mind some light and fluffy comfort food.

There is a simple explanation for the feet scene - I heard NAIL was not available for this scene, so they showed the closest thing to it, and that is a "toe nail" :)

Oh no, I don't hate you, i appreciate your response. Yes I enjoy venting my "personal" opinions but I always respect others opinion (except if you chew with your mouth open :)). How sad would it be, if everybody would love/hate the same shows. Politely disagreeing makes a discussion forum work and fun. Right Babe :)

I already vented about the sound effects - but there is something else that drives me crazy in Thai BL's and does not work international. Names!!. There are tons of cute Thai names as well as English, Spanish, etc names. Why naming them NAIL, GUN, TOP, BOTTOM, FIRST, REFRIDGERATOR, ....I took a full point off my review of Bit Babe for naming the main character "BABE" it did not fit the character and sounded like a joke.
But maybe they are planning a series putting all these characters together: TOP GUNs for FIRST while BABE NAIL's BOTTOM :)

I'm exhausted but I am so proud i managed to watch 2 episodes without slashing my screen....One of the worst shows i have ever watched. Most soft porns pretend to have a story, not this show (beep beep) I have no problem (kaching) with occasional sound effects (tut tut) every few minutes (haha), even 1 (booh) or 2 (ting Ting) every minute (growl) are ok but 1 every 3-5 seconds (kling) is beyond annoying (tadam!!) and makes this (poop poop) unwatchable!!

I disagree with the low rating an most of the comments here. It isn't your traditional BL with predictable and interchangeable plots. This series is why i love Japanese drama. This story is not just about relationships, it is a brutal verdict of Japanese culture. Loved it!

I am usually not a fan of Filipino BL shows (I hate the negative portrayal of trans people - ) so the only show i managed to watch all the way to the end was "Like in the movies". This was a few years ago, but in my spreadsheet i gave it an 8. I saw a recommendation for that and decided to give it a t try. Love it !!! One of the best shows I ve seen in a long time.

you should ....
usually my ratings are fairly close to the average, but sometimes there are show where I completely disagree. high-rated shows i find boring and low-rated shows that I truly enjoyed. An I gave this show an 8.5 (it's a personal taste thing). If you liked the Korean Show "Individual Circumstances" (another low rated show that i liked) go for it :)

Reading the comments here, it looks like that there were quite a few small details and hints I missed. Generally I liked the theatrical style and thought i was OK starting episode 7 or 8. But the first few episodes were dragging on with nearly every scene too long and many of them not essential to the story. Watching a guy walking over a bridge is OK, but that was a long bridge and we had to watch him walking from one end to the other :)

The game is Myungha's depression/self-hatred. The show portrays the struggles young people with depression go through in daily life and in their relationships. Depression isn't permanent, it is on/off and the game resets/errors/mission changes convey these changes in brain functions

I've watched hundreds of BL's over the years but I have never given a show a 10-rating. I just did! Depression, self-hatred are hard visualize and usually result in overacting. This show managed to portray depression and how it affects daily life and relationships in a calm and subtle undercurrent. Congratulations to the actors who let their characters float in a sea of emotions - nobody trying to stand-out, no big scenes, no intimacy, no overacting. LOVED IT !!!!

And the best acting award in this series goes to ...... the cat

This is a desperate attempt to connect a series of commercials. It failed spectacularly. If they would have changed the sentence, when he transformed from cat to human from "Where is my beautiful fur and long tail" to "Where is my beautiful fur, but at least I have my long tail" there would have been at least one acceptable scene.

Agree with most of the posters here. Nearly perfect until Ep 10. Then, starting with the most awkward break-up scene, it fell apart. The spent 10 episodes (=10 hours) to build this relationship up and ended it in less than one minute (Day: hey, lets break up - M: I'm sad, OK i'm out of here) . And from there it was just an inconsistent and weird mess.

Honestly I somehow enjoyed it for its feel-good simplicity. Sure, there was no story, the script and dialogue were boring and repetitive. It was a one-man show. Tod portraying the character of Sky (a sensitive guy covering his insecurity with lots of superficial jokes and small talk) managed to carry this show through 10 1-hour episodes. In my view quite an acting accomplishment. Without him, this show would be as interesting as watching a tree grow.
