The camera work was really good in this. The sound was not really good in this. The dialog is not very natural and the transitions are strange, If you're tipsy and there's an especially hot shirtless man on top of you kissing and grinding, the chances are not great you'll stop him to discuss your emotional vulnerability. Speaking of which, Jill is too pathetic to be sympathetic. Jack should find someone who isn't such a wreck.

I personally know the reason, as I worked for a Korean company and now I don't, and not voluntarily. But piracy is a major loss of revenue for all streaming - it doesn't matter if it's international or not, it's still wrong.

Daily Motion will just steal it from Viki when the subtitles are done. It never takes more than a day for them to finish. It's a lot of work!

If more people would watch it legally instead of pirated versions, Korean BLs would make money and people would make more and longer ones.

It would be hard to be more onboard than I am for this.

Oh - there's a typo in there. I meant "what's with the new boy?" and I wrote "what's with the new body?" Which makes no sense.

I don't think it's bad, but it's not good either. The lead is really cute and a good actor - his mild terror when the cab driver asked him if he was bi was really cute and funny.

But there are scenes that are almost excruciatingly long. When he's picking clothing, his friend is set on "angry black diva" X 10 for the entire scene and it was just tiring. The shower scene was fine though. They can do that for as long as they want.

The technical quality is also much higher than typical low-budget Filipino productions.

I feel like this has potential, but it needs to reach some of it soon.

I hope this doesn't turn out to be yet another series where Ron Angeles is rejected by the lead even though he's 10,000 times more appealing than the love interest. Why is everyone so mean to Ron Angeles? Doesn't he deserve the man every once in a while?

I'm not sure. Check back next week. The main character is really adorable, and there are some nice things about it, but there are scenes that are too long and tiring. I feel like it has some potential.

A friend said this latest episode was better than the others. My friend needs to get his head checked. The quality of the production was pretty good, but the dialog is all really unnatural. Who sits around talking about love that way?

Also, what kind of bar is that? Is there such a thing as an Omukase bar? They both said "on the rocks" for their drink. WHAT on the rocks? They got whisky. And then when Vlad said "one more round", the waitress pulled out a bottle of white wine. And it had a screw cap so you know it's quality stuff.

Anyway, at least things happened this ep, but the editing still needs to be a lot sharper. I will say that ths ep was at least watchable.

I think the overall problem with the series is that it isn't really saying anything. Maybe it's a critique of Protestant hypocrisy? There are a lot of potential issues set up, like class difference, religion, and sexual harassment, but the writing is fairly shallow. Without any sort of underlying theme, this isn't very compelling and doesn't overcome its shortcomings. I think Kaleb Ong is one of the best actors in BL, but this production isn't pulling the usual stellar performance out of him. To be fair, there's only so much anyone can do with that dialog. Axl is usually made out of sex, but here he just seems like a naughty boy.

That was really great. The first part could have been paced faster, but otherwise it's charming and sexy. Ryu... yikes. I take it from their names that Mix & Match are the end couple, but that's just a guess.

I liked avoidance of tropes. Match didn't act surprised at how late it is when the alarm that he set went off, not one, but TWO people were in a kitchen and nobody cut himself, and nobody tripped was caught, and all three appear to be openly gay, so no "I'm not gay, I only like______"

I loved the phallic cooking scene - that was cute.

One thing, though. In the entire history of the human species, three hot young gay men getting into a bed together has resulted in a threesome within 15 seconds. But we can't ask for 100% realism in a fantasy romance.

I'm with you, but I'll settle for a threesome.

I've only watched the first 30 seconds of this so far, but I had to come here and rant and rave that FINALLY, someone set their alarm for the time they wanted to get up instead of 30 minutes later so that they have to shout "shit!" and get ready in a panic. I'll bet his phone is even password protected.

Yes, it respects the audience, which is a rarity. You'd think someone would notice that all of the best BLs are like that. Someday they'll accept that we can follow a story with out it being 90% flashbacks.

I think it's Ja, TBH. I find him a lot more attractive than First, but you can feel he doesn't want to be there. They should have him take lessons with Smart, because oh my God.

I still think that would be terrible, metal in your mouth is like fingernails on a chalkboard - especially if it touches your teeth.

I'm with you there - a couple of times I've asked "am I watching a light romance or am I in Sunday School?" Romances by their nature are already valuing lasting love over "fun", so hitting the audience over the head with it is tiresome. Pinoy BL seems to have some of the best and worst series. This one is mediocre. But Jack's body is insane and he doesn't ever seem to have a shirt on, so there's that.

I can't disagree with anything here, but romance movies and series are generally not very realistic - nobody wants to watch people arguing over clothing left on the floor or using the toilet when your SO is in the room (although I can't do that - I'm poo-shy).

I've only seen the first two eps, but it looks like the story is about two guys who have a one-nighter - one views it as such, the other wants more. If you think back to when you were that age, that's pretty much a universal gay experience. Obviously they'll fall in love because it's a romance.

I have never yet met a gay man who is waiting for true love to have sex - maybe today's youth are doing that, but in my day, waiting until after dinner on your first date was showing unusual restraint.

In the special ep, Fiat, the captain of the basketball team, trips while going down 3 steps. That more or less symbolizes where this has gone. Fiat is totally useless and incapable of adult life without close supervision. He can't even have conversations with his own family members without Leo's oversight.

I think what happened was that in TT2 he was pursuing Type, who is an uke, so he was written as seme-ish. Now he's with Leo, who's about as seme as seme can get, so Fiat has become the Über-uke.

What? It's about two guys baking brownies and getting it on. Where did you get didatic morality play out of that?

Can someone tell me why every single person in a BL that's ever set an alarm has for some reason set if for way past the time they needed to get up? Is not one single BL character able to operate a phone? Is this related to the inability to password protect their devices?

Jill is too ridiculous in his oggling. I can understand being nervous around someone that hot, but come on. Anyway, other than the word "vegan" obviously meaning something different in the Philippines, this is not terrible, and Jack is not hard to look at.
