I'm not hearing anyone complaining about either. I'm hearing people complain about bad acting and writing leading to the series being intensely boring.

Why does everyone assume everyone who finds a BL boring is looking for sex? I couldn't care less if there's sex or not. I want a plot that moves, interesting characters, and good acting. There is none of that here except in the PhuKao storyline.

And while we're at it, what's wrong if there's physical love? If it fits the story, it should be there. if it doesn't it shouldn't be. It's that simple. TharnType would have made no sense without sex, and Oxygen doesn't need it at all. But it does need something interesting to happen, and we're not getting that.

You can safely ff through all of it and just watch the PhuKao scenes, which, as usual, are the only thing worth watching. Their story advances quite a bit, and nothing else happens.

What was the problem with the sound? I wasn't listening to it on headphones, so maybe it's optimized for speakers? But the makeup was terrible. It completely took me out of the story. I mean you could even see it plainly when they were in the shower! I think Mew and Gulf are just phoning it in, but then I wouldn't be able to drum up much enthusiasm for that script if I were them either. The production was meh.

I don't think that's true - I think most of the complaining is that the ep was really boring. Whatever anyone's issues with the first series, you definitely can't call it boring.

True - nothing really happened. I didn't skip ahead, but I slept through a few parts. There's nothing in this ep that tells us their story needed to be continued.

It's not really heteronormative when you're using a non-matching gender term. Gay men often call each other "she" - that's not heteronormative, it's actually breaking the "rules" of heteronormativity. If Type were taking on sterotypical female roles, I would have an issue with this, but he's not - in fact he's more aggressive and "male" in his attitudes than Tharn - he's a sports doctor as opposed to a musician, he likely earns considerably more, etc.

TBH, almost nothing in Thai BL are true to actual gay life - female writers have a different perspective and they are aiming at a female audience.

I'm with you there. I loved the first half of the original 2gether, and the rest I should have skipped.

I did like how low he left it unbuttoned. :)

Please don't say that. Fate might hear you. It can always be worse. I'm not sure how, but it could be. I wasn't really feeling the chemistry. It felt like Type wasn't sexually interested in Tharn, and then they reenacted the car scene from Titanic in the shower.

The shirt made me roll my eyes. Would anyone actually wear that? maybe I'm just old. I liked his hair, though.

That was not good. It wasn't actively terrible, but I had trouble keeping awake. There is no point to this, and I don't care at all who Fiat is because we were given no reason to care.

The clothing is awful - is that what's fashionable in Thailand? Tharn's green shirt at the end was comically silly. And they had on way, way too much makeup - it was distracting.

Very disappointed.

Why does "wifey" bother you? A couple can call each other whatever they want - it's not for anyone else to judge. I do have an issue with Type saying Tharn was acting like it was his time of the month - that's misogyny.

Oh, I love Cherry Magic - I enjoy watching it as much as GSP. I think GSP has more depth and the production quality is higher, but I think Cherry Magic is the best BL comedy I've ever seen. The Japanese have a way with quirkiness that nobody else can really match. Like in Life Love on the Line where the boys meet because they're walking along a line painted on the street and pretend they'll die if they fall off. That was so cute - who hasn't done something like that when they were children?

It sounds like you're saying the ends justify the means. Wil has stolen things out of Joey's room, bribed a teacher, ordered a henchman to ruin Joey's career - the income from which Joey needs, then he blackmailed Jimmy into keeping it secret... how is that love? How is that pure intentions? Wil is supposed to be the villain of the story. Look at his expressions when Joey isn't looking at him - it's malice. Trying to make someone dependent on you is what sociopaths do. They can be charming - but they can't love - they want control.

You have got to be kidding me. Who is working for whom? Amore is one of the worst BLs on air - they've had no fewer than 39 of 90 episodes so far and what has happened? Almost nothing. Jimmy and Nuan are good actors, but the rest are average at best, and a few are cringeworthy. If they'd used the budget for the 90 episodes to write a good story with 12 episodes, then they could have given us something to watch. As it is, when Joey is talking to Wil, I'm never sure if it isn't actually Planty. I don't understand why it annoys you so much that I love GSP, but I'm not alone, which is why it has a 9.1 rating vs. 7.3 for your Amore dumpster fire.

I'm not sure what was going on because the subtitles made it unclear, but it looked like Sea meant "Are you sure you want to be my friend? Wouldn't you rather be my boyfriend?" And Tin either understood what he meant and chose not to answer, or it went right over his head.

Is that about right?

Amore is bad. Sorry, but 90 episodes is too long for me, especially as the plot is almost non-existent. There are a couple of great actors in it, but the writing... I'm surprised more people don't watch Gaya sa Pelikula, which is incredible.

You haven't seen Gaya sa Pelikula? I think that might jump up to Cherry Magic in your rating. I actually have it higher in mine.
