That scene was LOL bad.

At least Tim is pretty hot - I don't know where that's going, but it's better than nothing.

Wow, that was full service - thanks!

Messy and very dull. It had potential, but unfortunately it wasn't realized. When it's over you wonder what the point of it was.

I watched that on 2x and it was still way too slow. By the end I didn't care. Q & Micky had in their 30 seconds of screentime 100 times more chemistry than the main pair. Actually, I liked ALL the other characters, especially Saint, Pond, and Micky.

No. He ended up with So and then they drifted apart.

That depends on what you wanted to happen.

Did they even have sex, or do they just share the bed? I can't say I care enough to remember and I usually skip over their scenes. I will admit there was just way too much of them this ep - it hasn't bothered me much in past eps, and now that their married with a kid I'm hoping they'll fade into the background and not be replaced by Yuki's sister and that other bartender.

The secondary couple is bad, but people below were criticising the acting of the main couple, which I think is quite good - certainly better than any of the non-Triage Thai shows on right now, IMO.

Me too. I'm a bit scared we're going to get an even more boring gl story with Yuki's sister.

When they first started, the secondary couple was mildly interesting because of how opposite they seemed, but they skipped all the romance and had them move in together and raise a kid. It's as random as Physical Therapy.

But I do really like the main couple - they're one of my favorites right now. It's eminently watchable with liberal ff'ing.

Also, how many times did h roughly shove Kluen? It's not as bad as punching someone, but you could fall and hit your head. On the other hand, Kluen wasn't reading the room very well about unsolicited kisses and hugs.

Maybe worse - after all he said, he tore it all up by being so shady over going to Gia. "Something bad has happened to Gia and I need to help her - I want to continue this with you, and I'll come to your place as soon as possible". That's if whatever happened to her was private - otherwise he could have just taken Dao with him. But instead he just does the "I can explain! However, I won't and will instead stand here staring at you for approximately three times the amount of time it would have taken to explain."

I did like that Dao hates violence except for running over people with cars. If you're going to block someone by standing in front of their car, you need to commit to it. He moved out of the way after 10 seconds.

Oh, sorry - I was responding to your initial comment. I was joking earlier that I wish Dao would choose Fah - he's hot, sweet, loves Dao without complication, communicates clearly and intelligently, is not a psychopath, and looks really good in a doctor's coat and black shirt.

But when we move on to his story, I'm sure he'll turn into a nutjob drama queen.

A drama needs drama, but it has to make sense. This didn't at all. Kluen couldn't possibly have stated his feelings more clearly, but Dao was still confused and surly, then Kluen gets unnecessarily shady about going to Gia - he stood there essentially saying nothing for a few minutes - plenty of time to explain.

Because the two have never had anything to do with each other - remember that they'd never even had a conversation before the series began yet were in love for several years despite having that AND having absolutely no contact - their total failure to communicate and the drama generated thereof is not organic - it's artificial and thrown in and I just don't care about it.

BL writers are so addicted to a girl being the center of misunderstanding, that here we have a girl that is entirely offscreen, and even though Kluen clearly told Dao that he had never loved her, they broke up many years ago, and he broke up with her because he was in love with Dao and in fact Dao made him understand what love was, but Dao is still jealous of her and totally misunderstands the whole situation, which is aggravated by Kluen's inexplicable failure to offer any explanation. It's really terrible writing.

Plus, you can have a crush on someone you have never interacted with - you can't really be in love, and certainly not for 4 years with no contact.

"I frickin' hate violence. However, running over people with cars is OK."

I would rather have watched Dao and Fah have a nice brothers' day out - their interaction is so feel-good and they have good chemistry. Too bad they didn't cast Mek as Kluen - the size difference is really cute.

OMG, I was totally going to say that. "I f@#$jng hate violence! Except running over people with cars. I'm fine with that."

The communication between the two is so terrible and they're so obviously and horrendously imcompatible that I kind of want this to end in a murder-suicide so it feels more realistic. That was a slight exaggeration for the sake of drama, but there's no world in which they'd have any chance of a healthy relationship.

"I never loved Gia - we broke up years ago because I love you, and in fact it was you that made me understand what love is. I want only you and I want you to love only me."

"Why must you be so confusing? I don't know what you want! I'm going to consent to be some psycho's bf for a 24-hour period now. That should clear everything up."

I struggled to get through this and had to skip parts. This is really awful. Maybe it would work if the characters were 12, but these are adults. Kluen says "I'm not dating Gia, I never loved her that way, and in fact I've liked you for the last 4 years and it was you who made me understand what love is." and Dao is... confused? And I can't take another story where someone spends an hour just saying "I can explain" but doesn't. That whole " I have to go to Gia" was just stupid and ridiculous lazy, sloppy writing.

I really, really like Dunk, but I can't watch any more of this disaster. It just makes no narrative or emotional sense. What a huge, frustrating disappointment. Characters like Kluen just don't work in live action. It can just barely make it for an ep or 2, but a whole series. In print you can see a lot more of a character's motivations than you can when they're just staring blankly in live action. It doesn't matter if they love each other - they're so disastrously unsuited for each other than even if they got together they wouldn't last 2 weeks.

And WTF is with all the Typhoon love? He basically bullied Dao into being his bf for a day, posted it on insta without Dao's consent, more or less sexually assaulted him in public just to prove a point, and then got into a fist fight. If there's anyone who is the worst, it's him. I liked him before this ep, but I think it's kind of necessary to reevaluate. He knew Dao was messed up over Kluen, but he pressured him anyway, instead of being a supportive friend. He's awful.

I still think Dao should pick Fah. It's unconventional, I admit, but he's the only one that isn't psycho and he looked awfully good in the doctor's coat and black shirt.

Kissing someone against their will and getting into a fist fight is honest and communicating like an adult? Also, browbeating someone into being your bf for a day even though he clearly doesn't want to and posting it without his consent? Typhoon is borderline psycho.

Kluen is just as bad, but Typhoon isn't the answer.

People are really hard on this show - is there some underlying external reason I'm missing?

I get why the secondary couple is not working for a lot of people - it feels a little thrown in, and there really isn't any chemistry, and the acting is a little weak.

But the main couple is quite good - I don't see any bad acting. I felt very sad after watching this ep - I thought they did a great job. Are people confused because they're not uke and seme?
