That's a good point about him being jump first - I guess it depends on how far his apartment is from the garage.

Gun doesn't do anything for me. Of all the guys, I probably like Mond the most, but I like muscles. Off is not far behind, though.

As far as he knows, something violent happened to Sean, and when he shows up, the place is ransacked. Why on earth would he ride straight up to the garage in a motorcycle, then blare lights and calling out Sean's name? I'm sorry, but that's just stupid beyond belief. I do like that Sean and Gram are confused and suspicious.

I think Tawi is helping him.

He's using White to infiltrate the gang - it makes perfect sense - now he has a spy amongst them who tells him everything.

I think Tod controls Tawi. Or the other way around. I'm fairly sure he's the Big Bad of the series, though.

I've never found Off attractive until this series - i think it's the opposite though - I think he's filled out and looks more like a man now than a boy. But whatever it is, he's gotten really handsome. Sing looks good too.

I think it's 100% obvious that Sean & Gram kidnapped White at the end. When Gram was with Eugene their interaction wasn't romantic. She as upset and he was comforting her, or possibly the other way around.

That was better than the other episodes, but White's colossal stupidity at the end was just lazy-ass writing. Come on - would anyone in this entire fandom be that moronic? Drive up in a motorcycle with headlight blaring? Why wasn't he also playing bagpipes while setting off firecrackers?

And how did I not notice that Gram is made out of sex before this episode? Holy cow.

Anyway, the production is first-rate. I just wish the writing was more consistent - sometimes White is smart, other times he's a total idiot.

I'm not seeing all the chemistry everyone else is. I can see that First has a crush on Dan, but not the other way around, and while I can see White likes Sean, Sean seems confused and intrigued.

If you specifically meant White, he's trying to find out who tried to kill his twin, and he suspects it may be someone in his gang, which is why he joined. Why he's being an idiot is a mystery. Sometimes he's smart, other times he blunders into the garage knowning something bad happened, which is brained-damage stupid.

I've never understood why spilling in one's lap freaks everyone out. Nobody is going to think a grown man peed his pants - it's quite obvious something was spilled on him.

Well, that happened. Unfortunately, acting matters. That was a long cringe from beginning to end. There's nothing worse than slightly campy, and much like My Day, this needed to abandon restraint and go OTT, but instead it's kind of limp and amateurish. You can't have fight scenes like that - if there are going to be that many, then some effort needs to go into it. There must be tons of out-of-work stuntmen you could hire.

Anyway, I'm not sure I can sit through another episode of that, unless Art is going to shower again.

That sums it up nicely.

The cinematography, color palette and grading, editing, lighting design, all the technical aspects of this are as good as I've ever seen in a BL - maybe the best. But the story is so f@#$ing dull that I can't pay attention to it and end up just watching the pretty colors. The only story that remotely interests me is the guy with his sister's boyfriend, mostly because the acting is better - everyone else is mediocre at best. I guess Saen is fairly charming. But I just don't feel any chemistry between Fah and Thorn - I did with the kid versions, but that's it.

The only thing as WTF was the similar TharnType scene, but even that was a lot less aggressive than this as Tharn did the "work" and didn't force Type to do it.

I think the kiss in Ep 5 was good, but the one this episode was weak and I didn't feel it. Partly it's because the Ep 5 kiss had a great buildup, and this one was just... there. Both actors seem to be losing steam, but Ep 11 was likely really exhausting to film.

Mostly the screaming and general unpleasantness of the characters. i have no issues with nudity, and the drug use wasn't too bad.

Aw, shucks. There is an odd phenomenon where people expect BL characters to be utterly perfect saints - I'm trying to see it from their perspective, but nothing Phap did seems all that bad to me. I think there was a minor production design fail in that what he did to the room probably should have looked a little better than that, but sometimes you just have to go with the flow.

I agree with you, but love takes time - before that it's infatuation. You can't really be deeply in love with someone after three dates, and I don't think it's normal to be stuck on someone in that case for three years, especially if they live halfway across the world and is are a relationship - and you are in a relationship as well. "The One" is a fiction. There are lots of "the ones" - when something isn't possible, you find something that is.

Essentially Mario was hoping to steal Jethro from his boyfriend, which is not an indication of high character.

That's prudent. I will say that this is a romcom, so the chances of heartbreak seem very low, but you never know...
