Your username makes me smile everytime I see it. Mine is too boring.

Do readers accept that? Maybe if he'd been drunk or it was a passion crime, but that's vicious and premeditated. That's not love anymore, it's a psychopathic need for power and control over someone.

At least he haded him a napkin instead of touching his face to remove rice from his lip. :)

There are two separate issues there, lack of preparation and rape.

Female writers massively overvalue the importance of "preparation" - you don't need any. If you're actively resisting it can be terrible, but if you can relax (during consensual sex), that's mostly what "preparation" does anyway. If he was unconscious he'd be relaxed more or less by definition, although I don't see how anyone could remain unconscious through that unless drugged. I think maybe it's an attraction on the part of writers to the hurt/comfort trope.

Rape, on the other hand, is violent and dangerous.

I guess what I'm saying is there's nothing inherently wrong or abusive about no preparation during consensual sex. Rape is terrible and violent, really disturbing, and never acceptable - when Gu Hai has Luo Yin abducted, that's about the limit I think an audience can tolerate (I thought it was funny), but what you described is a deal-breaker. If Luo Yin stays with him after that he needs serious therapy. After he's carefully hidden away from the dangerously insane person.

Agree - a lot of fans only like to watch cute boys being cute to each other - if any characters have any human failings it's unforgivable. Kids are too sheltered these days. I find perfect character BLs boring beyond belief. And the writing is lazy because it entirely depends on implausible misunderstandings and external factors to generate drama, with the result that the romance feels unearned and unsatisfying with no opportunity for character development.

Also, anyone who watches a drama titled "Addicted Heroin" and doesn't expect some "problemmatic" behavior probably shouldn't watch anything without their parents' supervision.

I was just rewatching this and forgot how good it is. But why would wearing damp underwear give someone diarrhea? You don't get it when you go swimming and you're wearing wet clothing down there for hours. I guess if you got your underwear wet in cholera-tainted water and then put it in your mouth you could get sick, but that seems like a lot of effort when you could just eat a lot of prunes.

Did you mean that hyperbolically? Because you can't rip apart someone's organs like that. Unless you're an elephant or something. That would probably hurt.

That was really, really dull. There's nothing in particular that's wrong with it, but this is the director from Love Sick 2 and Friend Forever, so I guess that's the level of pacing to expect.

The main character is adorable, but watching him mope for an hour isn't too riveting. There's a lot going on the background, but with no backstory, we have no idea what any of it is, and as it's about marketing & business stuff, you're not really curious to find out.

It's a little tropey, although in a minor miracle, when the uke gets a grain of rice stuck to his lip that he inexplicably can't feel, the seme hands him a napkin instead of inappropriately touching him. Although in the obligatory drunk/piggyback/damp towel wipedown sequence, he does inappropriately strip him, but that's offscreen, so even that's dull.

No subs, but it has a laugh track, so it would probably make me feel like breaking things.

It's the best I've seen - ITSAY had great cinematography too, but I think this may be better. The outdoor shots with Vee and Dome were just beautiful.

Vee and Dome haven't done anything wrong. Also, it's not easy to be gay and repressed in a conservative society - Dome probably doesn't even know what he's feeling at this point. There's no context. I had girlfriends because that's what guys do. I didn't realize how wrong that was for me until I had a boy.

Every aspect of the production is wonderful - this is maybe the most beautifully filmed of all BLs - the DP really knows how to use natural light - that scene with Dome and Vee in the late afternoon was so stunning.

But the subject matter is so crushingly dull I'm having trouble generating any interest. Tae is doing a good job of playing a severely depressed person, but as he's so withdrawn and doesn't really talk, there's not so much chemistry.

I did perk up when they grabbed that super-duper hot guy in the locker room - OMG. I cried when Thorn made him put a shirt on. Does anyone know the actor's name? Dome isn't hard to look at either.

Dome & Vee are a great pairing - that's more or less what's sustaining me right now.

I can't catch a break this week. That was just excruciating. The character Beshie was survivable in small doses in S1, but as a main character is unbearable - the acting... especially compared to Karissa and Gian. I really don't understand what this season is about or why it needed to be made at all. Can we get the asteroid from Love at the End of the World and aim it at their apartment?

Gian Bernadino is a nice find - I hope we see more of him.

I don't need people to be perfect, but I need them to behave in character. Phap has never once displayed even the slightest hint of violent tendencies - and for him to suddenly punch someone like that made no sense. Also, Neung said he was trying to push Phap & Maze together, but a small child would be able to tell you that what he said and did was outrageous and cruel and rather than pushing them togther, actually sabotaged their relationship.

This was all done to create drama, which is terrible writing. If you want drama, then it has to be within the context of the characters you've created. For example, Phap could have slept in and missed a critical presentation, making them lose an account. That sounds like something he might do. It could even have just been that he lost critical documents while trying to save a cat.

If characters behave like totally different people, then it's frustrating. Nrither Phap nor Maze is anywhere close to perfect, but their flaws have been drawn for the entire series so far, and nothing they've done up to now felt out of character. This did, and spoiled the characters.

Hmm. This series has some nice things about it - Khaitoon is adorable and charming, it's well-filmed, and I liked that Valen is so incompetent at wooing that Khaitoon thought he was being mildly bullied.

But it's slooooww. And there are way, way too many characters taking up too much screen time. Like who were the 3 girls that sat down at the table, and why would Valen's friend think that some random girl was the person he was after?

There's so much going on that it's hard to care. Also, they should rename this "Every day is a bad day for Non". Whoever wrote this won't be happy until poor Non's spirit is totally crushed.

The problem is that it's too boring to watch if there's no BL. Almost all of Ep 2 was just Yeon Woo on the phone. Riveting.

Yes, but Phap did it effectively, not by being extremely cruel and sabotaging the relationship. He just say "stop being clingy and open up to the hot guy showing his love for you with such persistence."

I stopped watching at the kidnapping scene. The acting in this is so actively terrible that it's painful, and the writing isn't any better. Who holds onto a stroller carrying a dog when being kidnapped instead of defending himself? And when did the friend suddenly develop a crippling speech impediment? I guess that was supposed to be funny or something.

The cinematography is uninspired, the energy level of the whole production is low, and Zeyn has no charm to give any depth to his prettiness - even that's dull.

The problem is that if you're going to zany and funny, you need to go for it full-throttle, not in this half-assed, limp way. The actors couldn't even be bothered to run to the car - they just sauntered over and discussed where everyone would sit. If that had been done with manic energy, it might have been funny, but instead it was just sad.

I'm guessing the director is either independently wealthy or is extraordinarily good at squeezing money out of people. My Day was already fairly bad, and each following series is progressively worse. Honestly, this is unwatchable.

In the other one it was the main character.
