Right. You know I thought the rest was forgivable but EVERY BL including a wipe down scene is becoming a joke!?!…
It didn't even make sense in this case. Why do you need to wipe down a drunk person? if he puked on himself that's not goig to cut it. But at least they didn't kiss - I can't tell you how many times I've had to ff through large chunks of an ep because nobody ever brushes their teeth after puking.
The trope of a childhood connection before becoming adult partners is all over Asian drama. As is the stepsibling…
I'm OK with redemption - like Darth Vader - but Asian villains are just forgiven without redemption. Like He's Coming to Me. "I'm sorry I first-degree murdered my own nephew for his money." "Well, OK, as long as you're sorry."
Or Siew Sum Noi "Sorry for trying to beat your son to death for being gay."
"It's OK, he lived."
With the tropes, we're dealing with amateur writers publishing on Wattpad, many of them really young, and so they have no experience with life (certainly not with gay sex, unless they have gay cats) and are very imitative. For a brief period I was interested in a fandom and all the fanfic paired a two minor characters who had absolutely nothing to do with each other in the series and were actually a really poor match, but it just became a thing everyone felt they had to do.
When it comes to tropes, they don't bother me so much when it's just something that happens - but I do get pissed off when they're used as the impetus for the plot - like to guys would never do anything icky and gay unless one tripped and the other one had no choice but to catch him. That's creative bankruptcy.
One of the things I loved about Love Stage is that they actively mocked the tropes - like the accidental kiss actually knocked out teeth, which made me spit my coffee all over my screen.
I'd like to make a gag reel consisting of all of Sun's fainting spells, one after another. But it would require…
I'm pretty sure she was. To be fair, my mother would do that. Once I was with her in Cappadocia and she was complaining about getting pebbles in her shoes, and I mentioned that maybe open-toed heels wasn't the most practical desert-wear.
Well, you're better than I am, and I'm a native speaker. You can kind of follow the plot, but I actually got more out of the Thai than the subtitles and I don't speak Thai.
This is terrible. Just another bunch of tropes stapled together. I'm so tired of the same drunk scene over and over and over in every BL. Who vomits after drinking a beer? Come on. I could drink half a bottle of wine when I was 12. And are we still doing the uke-hit-by-basketball thing? A five year old child wouldn't be knocked over like that. What a joke.
That love scene was getting good and then they ruined it. If we don't get that, what's the point? Who is writing this sh$%? Good God. And of couse the wipedown. F@#$.
Everything airing right now except My Tooth Your Love, Eclipse, and My Only 12% is garbage. BL is dying.
I stand corrected. I said Fahlanruk was the worst-written BL of all time, but I was wrong. This is. Is the author so creatively bankrupt that we have to resolt to the uke cutting himself... with a BUTTER KNIFE. Is this even serious? I feel like I've strayed into A Man Who Defies the World of BL. Although the guy in that tight maroon pajama top has an incredible body. Who are those guys, anyway? There are so many characteres in this that I can't remember any of them.
And the fake instrumentals... Jesus.
And what possible reason was there to not tell Kim? That was the stupidest explanation I've ever heard! "I let you think I was dead and left you sitting around with your brain bleeding for 3 months because you're reckless."
And why did Rain need to use code to contact Payoo when they're in a secret chamber under their secret hideout? And if we're being THAT cautious, was it a good idea to ship in 20 loud partying college students? I'm starting to cheer on Evil Doctor Lady.
And what is this obsession BL has with people knowing each other as children? It's not cute, it's creepy and weird.
Should you have sex when your brain is bleeding? Also, they're doing sex wrong. And why did Kim chase Sun away? What was the point of that? It makes no sense - all it did is put everyone in danger. Well, at least it got him shot, so we could take pleasure in that.
For a while this was straying into "so bad it's good" territory, but it veered straight into just plain awful. I'm trying to give Fluke the benefit of the doubt - I feel like he's a decent actor, but you'd never know it from this - but if you're working with the worst script ever written and partnered with a talking fencepost there's only so much you can do.

Ai is hot, though.
