Me too - I was OK with some BB when it was important to the plot, but there was a LOT of BB. Unfortunately, that time jump really deflated the Vee/Dome story, which was one of the most electric I've ever seen - I hope we see more of those two.

I get people being upset with Thorn - he was pretty shitty, but I liked seeing a complex character. My only criticism was that I wasn't fully feeling character consistency from him, not that he was being a dick. He's a teenager. Teenagers are dicks.

What completely blows me away is people being upset with Dome - what on earth did HE do wrong? You can't control your feelings, and his only sin was being confused about his feelings and sexuality - it actually kind of pisses me off that the audience is happy to "appropriate" gay romance while being totally insensitive to what a huge and painful struggle it is to deal with your sexuality at that age, especially in a conservative society. So many people are just interested in watching cute boys being cute to each other. Well then, I don't want to see any criticism of straight guys and their "toxic masculinity" whacking to lesbian porn, because it's not that much different, and at least the guys are being honest about themselves.

Why are you getting upset? I'm not putting words in your mouth, I'm giving you my opinion. Why are you here if you don't want to hear othee people's opinions?

Fah was there for him. He asked him to live with him, and they shared a bed. Thorn was putting him in an impossible position - he didn't want him to stop pursuing his basketball dreams, but he also didn't accept what that means for Fah's time, and as I said, he was especially busy for a few weeks until tryouts. Thorn didn't have his whole family murdered, he had a sports injury - all athletes deal with injuries, and he was expected to fully recover. Everyone is acting like Fah refused to save him from drowning or something.

At least they stopped using that disgusting orange antisceptic that looked like old ear wax.

It's kind of irregular, but we'll see.

Green is an amazing actor - I'm hoping he gets a chance to show us some of that in this series. Failing that, his body is as nice as Chap's, if we ever get to see it.

American sitcoms used to have laugh tracks 40 years ago, but now there's either no track or it's filmed in fron of a live audience so the laughing is real. Only children's shows have fake laughs and sound effects. But as the series progresses, the laugh track becomes less intrusive, or maybe I just got used to it, but it doesn't bother me anymore.

I couldn't get through Ep 1, but it does actually get better and eventually you don't really notice it. Once Rak starts wearing muscle shirts or no shirts it's hard to notice anything else.

It's still rude to stand around talking about them when they're right there.

I thought that's what the show was for. Everyone in it spends most of their time asleep. In Ep 10 Milk actually invented a game that the rules of which were that you have to sleep for two hours, and then everyone got up and went to bed. They actually showed a room full of people sleeping for most of the rest of the episode.

We didn't see Ake give consent for her to disucuss his condition with anyone. Unless she has reason to believe he's suicidal, she can't discuss this with anyone, and if he is, she still needs to alert the proper authorities, not the first random person that wanders into her office. That was definitely illegal.

I think it's time to drop this. I could't make it past the scene Where Tim was talking to that woman, and they did that incredibly tired cliche of the rapey hug from behind of someone trying to leave a room, which is actually a little disturbing than usual when it's a skinny woman and a large muscular man that's obviously mentally disturbed. Which doesn't make it any more interesting since I have no idea who these people are or what they have to do with the story.

So I just scanned for shirtless Pun scenes and fortunately there was one, which, for perhaps the first time in BL history, featured someone masturbating, even if it was offscreen.

If people have been dating for several thousand episodes and are in their mid to late 20s, isn't it normal for them to do sex stuff? Why is Milk acting like he's in primary school and afraid he's going to get cooties?

This isn't the worst BL I've ever seen, but it's the most boring and pointless. 90% of it is literally about sleeping.

And then he died. Another new director was randomly selected from a group of passing children, who just told everyone to wander around doing whatever they feel like, so they took a nap. And then everyone talked about napping for a long time. Tim attempted to die of boredom, but they wouldn't let him.

In the source material, Anda is that bad at everything. His manga artwork is so awful that people aren't sure if it was drawn by a small child or is some sort of abstract art. But what youi're saying is the real problem (only Ryo likes it, because he's totally blinded by love) - they're trying to have it both ways and it doesn't work. The story is supposed to be silly and OTT - they're trying to turn it into a normal drama which manages to be simultaneously strange and very boring, which is quite an achievement.

There are great subtitles on Bilibili. It doesn't help make this series good, though.

That was terrible. What are they trying to do with this series? The original is a madcap comedy, with oversized characters, but this wants to be a drama, which just doesn't work.

Anda's manga art in the original is so terrible that nobody can tell if it's drawn by a small child or it's some sort of abstract work, Jet is a Darth Vader-like character that everyone's terrified of, Tee is supernaturally laid-back and has serious brother issues for Anda, and Ryo is dark and moody. Lulu isn't a person, she's a manga character with superpowers that Anda has dreams and fantasies about. All of it is really funny, not this dreary mess.

The one thing I'll say for Ep 8 is we got to see that Kaownah can really act - I was starting to thing I imagined it in the past, but his melt-down in this was excellent and realistic - which in itself is a problem. It should be ridiculous and OTT.

Watching this was a chore, and Tee wasn't in it enough to reward me for the effort.

It's really dull and the acting is lifeless. But I'd give it a shot - some people like it. The main character's brother is hot, that's about all it has going for it for me.

He's terrible. Kaownah is surprisingly uninteresting in this too. They made all the characters too easy-going and dull. In the original, Jet is Darth Vader and Ryo is dark and moody. The only character in this that's interesting is Tee, and that's mostly because of his hotness. I guess Bank is pretty good.

I like this so far - it's cute. I wish there was a little less screaming and really awkward scenes, and we really, really, really need to retire the aggressive space-invading seatbelt fastening move - it's really infantilizing to do that and I think it would make any grown man really uncomfortable. And it's weird.

But the cast is charming - I wasn't sold on Ram, but I like they way he treats his sister - it's really lovely.

Yes! I was wondering why I was thinking of Virgo Nakharin, not that I need an excuse to do that.
