I hadn't thought about your point 1, but damn, you are so right. "You're being physically abused?" That's terrible. Bye." But your point 3 - do you think a boyfriend needs to ask for consent to kiss his partner? That would be a dull and passionless relationship. Actually, I would counter that with "stop being so frigid to your BF." He shouldn't have kissed him that time when he was sleeping, but that's a very, very minor transgression. But I also agree with your 2, 4, & 5 completely.

It was a gentle kiss, not a sexual assault. He shouldn't have done it, but as far as moral failings go, it's about as bad as forgetting to say thank you when someone passes you the salt.

I agree about Not Me (except the let-down ending). I couldn't sit through Cupid so I FF'd through it hoping Earth would take a shower or something.

They would last two weeks at best in a relationship.

What was it? I've already blocked it out.

Why does this have an 8.3? There are series that I think are rated too high, but at least I can see what about them appeals to people even if they aren't my thing, but this is terrible.

When Khluen is showing up with the flowers at precisely the right moment to hear and misunderstand yet again , I didn't even laugh - I'm just tired.

Who wrote this? What is the point of it? It's just two idiots who are kept apart by artificial misunderstandings. BL isn't generally characterized by brilliant and original writing, but come on. When Gia told Daonuea to be selfish and think of himself instead of others, I spit out my coffee. He's been self-absorbed to the point of malignant narcissism - I don't think he needs to worry about thinking of himself more.

This is a one-episode story dragged out into 8. And how are they a good match? They're a terrible match. They're going to get into a million fights where one is mad and surly, the other asks "what's wrong" and get the response "nothing", and the other says "fine." and goes somewhere to sulk.

Then, after interpreting every little thing Khluen has done the entire series as rejection, when Khluen ACTUALLY rejects him by abandoning the symbol of Nuea's love in a parking lot, his reaction is "Nah, he loves me." Sigh. (although to be fair, that scene made me LOL. And then we get into the homophobic uke hating to be touched by his love object thing,

I've been struggling through this because I was interested in the second story, but if it's like this, no thanks. I can go stalk Mek via tiktok instead. Pong and Ne do help a little. And Dunk is cute AF.

I don't even dislike it, which makes the reaction so odd - I've been disappointed with the last two episodes, because they're getting repetitive, falling back on tropes, and being plot-driven instead of character driven. I'm also aways very specific about what I don't like - but instead of discussing why they disagree, some people just launch into personal attacks, which is really strange - we're discussing light entertainment, not some crucial political issue. People really disagreed about Miracle of Teddy Bear, but there were some amazing discussions over there.

Anyway, the theme of the show about how we make our own luck is quite nice and cleverly done.

I don't think this will be my favorite as I thought it might be from the first 3 eps, but I'm still going to give it a chance - it's just that now I can see the whole plot to the very end, and it's looking a bit 2016. Also, I'm shallow and they show Shinomiya shirtless a lot.

Totally amazing, especially for Diao. I think Rak is hotter, but when Diao's in his white pants... The only "Mrmm, not sure about that..." was Rak's epilepsy-inducing blue plaid suit.

It's not super-younger, but you're right, there are very few in the 13-17 range and an equal number in the next higher categories which is unusual. Maybe that and because this isn't a Korean or Japanese show, is why this discussion section is so lovely and friendly.

Actually I like it for its depth. The point it's making is that negative people see all their bad luck and don't take advantage of their good luck, and the opposite for positive people - that was more or less spelled out this ep, and its really an important message and a creative way to communicate it.

I don't care how crazy the premise is - I'm totally fine with the fantasy element of BL - it's a feature, not a bug. I really like comedy, even some of the whacky OTT comedy. But characters, even if they're vampires, ghosts, or whatever, have to act like people and they have to have consistent characters. Rak Diao is more OTT than this series, but neither of them even once behaved out of character, and that's an appeal of that show. Here. Shinomiya has been consistent up until this episode, and I don't even know what's in charactr for Fukuhara because the writing of him is so all-over-the-place - so both of them behaving out of character just to push the plot in a certain dirction is disappointing, and makes the bleakness of this episode false and manipulative. A more organic way to get to the same place would be for Fukuhara to explain himself, and Shinomiya decides that F's happiness is all he cares about, and if he'll be happier if he's not with S, then he'll accept that and wait for him to be ready.

I think maybe you haven't seen Ep 7 of Plus & MInus yet. The diffrerence there is that we haven't been listening to anyone's thought - we only have their words and actions. In F's case, we've just heard too much of his thoughts, which is already a sign of a poor adaptation. In a manga, uou have to hear thought - but in a live-action film, you don't. Some is OK and can be funny, like when F is talkng to S and forgets everything he was going to say to rave about how handsome he is - but the downside of this is he's constantly talking about how handsome, kind, and wonderful S is, obviously drooling over his body, etc.

But this is definitely higher quality than Plus & Minus. I think it got closer after watching the lastest episode of each - but the production of Mr. Unlucky is just plain better. The acting isn't that much better except in Fukuhara's case, and the writing, although I haven't loved it the last two episodes. is more creative and interesting. And there's no boring-ass secondary couple.

I will say that the scenes from next week are sort of encouraging.

I could say the same about you, if you're going to follow me around everywhere with hostile comments because I have a diffrent opinion than yours. It would be nice if you could act like a mature person and explain why you think I'm mistaken instead of taking childish pot shots.

I like comedy. Do you think Ep 5 was comedic? But the problem isn't just Fukuhara's repetitiveness, it's the fairly ridiculous failure of communication - even when they're directly talking to each other. It doesn't make any sense, because there's no consistency in how the characters behave. Shinomiya waited in a plaza for 12 hours for Fukuhara for their date and wasn't upset in the slightest - is that someone who will behave like he did this ep?

I don't think it's been muted at all - it's been quite OTT, including running screaming into the night because Shinomiya's body is so hot. How many times has he internally screamed things like "he's so handsome!" And I am extremly introverted, incidentally, plus I grew up with no internet.

The root problem might be in the manga, but it's the creators of the series that haven't adapted it to live action. if they loyally follow the manga, it's going to be disappointing.

Yes, I know that. but he still has to act like a real person, and it's not credible that he was unaware of his attraction to Shinomya because we've been listening to his internal monologue all this time, which is largely about how attracted to Shinomiya he is.

You're comment is unnecessarily hostile - maybe think things through before you insult people.

What? I'm not going anywhere, but if I were, what purpose would your comment serve?

For example when he was waiting at the door he returned to his "I must exploit Shinomiya's luck" routine. We've moved past that now, and his cartoonish villanous expression doesn't help. Maybe boring is not true, but certainly tiresome.

The problem is he's not a manga character now, he's a live action character. You can't just transfer a comic book into live action - it has to be adapted and modified.

Are you just now getting disappointed with them? If so, you are more charitable than I am. I actually hit rock bottom with them last ep.

The secondary couple was slightly less tiresome in Ep 7, but after the scene that preceeded theirs I was shouting "ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THIS. HOW LONG IS THIS SCENE GOING TO BE?"

Anyway, the way Ze Shou looked at Gong Li after their clients left was so sweet I can't stand it. And that it's only Ep 7 so we get 5 more that won't be stupid and contrived miscommunication. Also, what they did at the batting cage was quite far above average.

I really liked the part with the Be Loved In House couple - that was so well done and sweetly moving without being cloying and artificial.

Hmm. Kind, very handsome, great body. Not enough for you? That's OK, more for me. :) Actually I'm starting to find Fukuhara tiresome and boring - no fault of the actor, he's doing great.
