That was pretty good. I like it thta for once someone called someone on what a dick move the silent treatment is. The plot moved forward too, and we didn't have to much focus on extraneous characters. I really find the kid who's into the copy guy creepy - his smarmy come-ons and major invasions of personal space.

I'm a little irritated Aek went swimming and we saw nothing. Just a teaser with the back of his distinctly v-shaped torso.

You realize that most people won't detect any sarcasm in your review, right? I stopped trying because everyone takes me literally, no matter how obvious or outrageous. I really laughed at seeing ghosts on the walls.

The second ep was an improvement - the plot doesn't look very original, but it look like this will be light and comical, and it did a good job of that. Plus, apparently Migo's contract requires him to take off his shirt several times an episode, so I'm in.

It had a lot of great ingredients, but as you said, about half way through it just stopped working for me.

Maybe you're right, but so far I've never seen a man that looks good with his hair up. Keam had no appeal to me until this ep.

I couldn't get through the first scene. First, in the prologue, we started with being lectured on what true love is, and then a reward was given - a grown man doesn't want 8 chaste pecks unless they end in a blowjob.

But that I could get over. The opening scene pictured the same stereotypical trans character we see in every low-quality creativity-free BL. Not only that, but her characteristic loud screeching was accompanied by sound distortion, meaning we have another production that's incompetent technically.

This is awful, and this company should stop making BLs.

OK, now I'm less excited after seeing the trailer. It looks like a main thread will be a woman trying to break them up. Yawn.

I don't know why he's even in this. I think they know he and Turbo have a following and are cynically trying to attract viewers by including them (it worked on me). Same reason they put New Year & Both in Top Secrey Together - they serve no other purpose.

And hopefully were just keeping him warm before having him star in all future BLs.

You have to squint pretty hard to see 3 Will Be Free as a BL. That there was a serious trans character with agency more or less rules it out.

I kn ow you were joking - I was commenting on the eternal love that 17-year olds always find in BLs.

I definitely noticed it in Why Love Why, Happenstance, Stranger's Kiss, Padayon (how could I not in Padayon? They sledgehammered us with their political themes), and the rest.

This show seems to follow the Thai model.

He was the guy who brought Jin his equipment. His hair was short with no Korean schoolboy bangs so he looked really different.

He's a non-villain BL character, so he will only love one person in his entire life.

I didn't know that, but I am whatever the total opposite of "surprised" is. If you told me that all BL is based on fanfic written by a single author I wouldn't be shocked. Or that some computer algorithym spits it out randomly based on "trip/fall/stare", "gay only for you", "engineer" and "toxic female", I would still not be surprised.

I can't stand when men wear their hair up, so I barely recognized Keam, who looks so sexy with it down.

I'm not sure I can slog through another episode of this - even Kaownah is bad in this, which makes me think the director must be awful because K usually stands out in everything he does.

Jin and Bbomb are so cute when they're together, but they're mired in some of the most bleak and uninspired writing I've seen in a BL, and I sat through the entirety of Amore.

This is not even bad - it's just dull, formulaic, and repetitive. If it were a trainwreck like So Much In Love it would at least be entertaining.

Can they stop adapting mediocre-fanfic-quality novels and hire real screenwriters?

Also, was that all we get of Boss (Kao from Oxygen)? For f#$%'s sake, I've been waiting for him - what a disappointment.

Sounds like someone grew up Catholic.

What sex partners does Keam have? I haven't seen him do anything at all except give sad yet ambiguous looks all the time.

I think the story should just feature a guy with a bat that walks around bashing people in the knees so we don't have to watch interminable football scenes where either Jin or Bbomb is going to be injured - every single time anyone goes near a field.

Jin and Bbomb are adorable together, but it doesn't make up for what I can only describe as supernatural formulaicity. I don't think I've ever used the word formulaicity before, but then I haven't had BL in my life. Not only is everything in this series totally lacking in originality, it lacks originality from episode to episode as the same three things keep happe\ning over and over.

I don't think Som Som is toxic, though - she merely has a crush that Jin has selfishly encouraged - it's not her fault.

I know everyone come to terms with their sexuality in their individual way, but it still has to make emotional sense. Jin is aware that he has feelings for Bbomb and doesn't seem to feel uncomfortable with that, he's just uncomfortable with the idea of being with him which he "doesn't know how to do". That's stupid, and bad writing.

I'm confused. Is this set 10 years ago, or was it just written then and filmed recently? How can anyone in 2021 not know how he can be together with a guy? What is there to know? Does me mean he doesn't know how to have gay sex? It's pretty much self-explanatory, or failing that there's the internet.

Once again, I'm convinced there's only one BL writer and she's being held prisoner somewhere and forced to write the same thing over and over. "More annoying trans characters and fujoshis! More trip/catch/stare! Make all the characters straight guys who are only gay for each other! More 1980's-era sexual confusion! MORE ENGINEERS!!!"

The problem with this story is that I hate Jin and have no respect for Bbomb for subjecting himself to this torture. If he were to state that he's an extreme masochists and he gets off on being treated like this, maybe I could accept it.

I have to admit the hug was adorable, though.

I totally agree.

At least there are no monsoons in winter - wet sweaters are the worst.

Well, Tum is in it, so I'll probably watch it for his form-fitting knit shirts.
