Bruce and Kenji were gold in this episode, but the writing let Up & Kao down in a major way - I couldn't feel anything for them, because I was thinking "Um, you can't wait 4 months?" It's ridiculous. All that drama because two grown adults can't put themselves on hold for a measely four months? It's not like they can't ever see each other again.

Who writes this? I'm confused, is Mon supposed to be a college student, or an 8 year old girl? Who behaves like that? And who would find that attractive? How does a grown man need to be carried everywhere? And the crying - he was right there by the door - if he can't deal with his bf's exes to that extent, then he's not ready for a relationship.

And WTF with the play? Was that supposed to generate drama, the way he didn't wake up right away? It was just super-cringe. Why not just text him and say he didn't tell his friend to say that? Ugh. I thought the first story was the worst, but it's gone downhill from there.

They're deliberately leaving the only couple anyone cares about for last just so we'll watch their crap series. It worked, but f#$% them.

The last word of your post is the only way to spell how it made me feel to watch this episode.

That was impressive.

I agree, fluke could pass as a high school student, but he was in a hospital bed for half the series. He is stunning - I hope we see more of him.

Agreed about Arthur. He's apparently primarily a musician - his band performs in English.

This was good, but not great. I think maybe it was a bit too ambitious to cover 3 couples in such a short series, plus the bullying thrown in (and thrown out).

Although I really like M, who I thought was unique and adorable, the M/Near storyline was so thin it would have been better to leave it out and spend the time elsewhere.

The biggest problem for me was the lack of chemistry between Sky and Paper. It wasn't awful, but I wasn't really feeling it.

The actors are too old to be believable high school students, and combing his hair froward wasn't successful in making Tong (Paper) look 10 years younger - it actually was weird-looking. And it didn't help that all their dialog was too adult, and really stiff and cliche. At the end, Paper should have said, "How can I run away? You drove." Way too serious all the time, and normal people aren't that relentlessly saccharine.

I'm not sorry I watched, but it's not very memorable.

Also, Arthur is hot and the best actor. He should have had more of a storyline - there was no point to just throwing in a major issue like bullying and then just drop it.

Try "Sweet Boy" - that's what it's called on GagaOOLala.

The violence, I'm guessing. There are other adult themes, but it's rather restrained and tasteful.

I have no idea what's going on in this - I have no idea who's dead and who's not, but it's oddly entertaining.

Kim is made out of sex. Look at him in this interview.

The uncut version is up to Ep 7 - I believe Channel 7 has ep 8 out, but they always cut scenes out.

It certainly does! Although you can see in comments sections that people are getting tired of engineers, so that's progress at least.

So you're saying that if an offensive stereotype of an effeminate gay man is in heterosexual shows, then it's not homophobic? That is certainly an interesting argument. Tropes in general are tiresome, but not all of them are inherently offensive - like for instance the accidental kiss trope which is silly and overused. That's not the same as painting all gay men that are effeminate as pathetic, which is not acceptable.

What is the purpose of a discussion forum if it's not to discuss the shows? I don't get the point of your comment. I don't like this - it's fairly simple.

I was about ready to punch the cinematographer for ruining two important scenes. I had to skip part of the pottery scene to avoid blindness and the scene in the park was making me sick.

I can't wait until the loose 80's slacks thing goes away - you have to be built like Mu Ren to look good in those, and I'm not. I really liked Yong Jie's last outfit - that's more me.

Other than the two OTT shots, there was some pretty good imagery - like more wedding symbolism surrounding Xing Si & Yong Jie, plus the way XS's outfit matched the lights in the tunnel of love.

Normally an episode like this would bore me, but this worked for me. I liked how evil mastermind Young Jie has had every little detail worked out of his master plan but is totally clueless about sweet talking. Also, the guy in the red hoodie? Holy Cow, I didn't realize what I was missing from MODC - I'll have to go watch that, and maybe skip the last ep.

I was just noticing how Mandarin is a great language for sex talk with all the sibilants (like "zh") that make you vibrate when spoken close to your ear, but Japanese is better for both swearing and orgasms. If you think about it you know I'm right.

I didn't realize that that's a stereoype of Sikh men - if that's the case, then I would agree it's offensive. Where I live, the sterotype of Sikhs is that they'll all doctors.

I thought they were just making fun of Bollywood.

Well, he's not "normal" overweight, he's just "Thai BL" oveweight., which means anything above 0% body fat.

Yes, Pinoy BLs are either fantastic or truly awful, with very little middle ground. Thai BLs have a few great ones, a few awful ones, and the majority are right in the middle.

Unpopular opinon: I don't like it. I like Mike Lin, but Melvin Sia's acting makes me cringe through every scene he's in, and he's in every scene. He overacts, and is not natural or authentic in his delivery. Also, I realize Asia's a little behind in terms of LGBTQ+ representation, but this story feels like something from 20 years ago, down to the detail level.

This week I couldn't make it past the strategizing scene. You could waste all your friends' time like that, or you could just tell your mother and invite her. Concealing a grandchild is just a step below homicide to a middle-aged woman. Probably a step above.

Anyway, I want to support the series, so I click on it, and I have a subscription, so I've done my duty.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment.
