The problem is that her mood swings from horrendous bitch to unbelievably horrendous bitch, and the way she spoke to Sky's mother was unforgivable, so I've lost all respect for Sky and I hope Ace finds a man who isn't too weak to stand up for his own mother, not this spineless loser.

it makes sense. It's kind of hard to tell who's trans, who's a drag-queen that we're supposed to regard as playing a woman (what exactly is Miss Becky?) and who's an effeminate man since all the non-heteronormative-behaving men are portrayed as fawning clowns. Contrast that with Jennie in Thai BLs who is never a joke character, and she's both central to the plot and terrifying in 3 Will Be Free.

USA. I know we're less touchy-feely in general than Filipinos, but still, in the workplace, you can't be all over someone you have power over like Jelai does to Jam. Plus, I think if someone in your family has been beaten, is unconscious, sick, & bruised, you might assign that a higher priority than grotesquely flirting with a total stranger who's trying to tend to your brother's injuries.

I keep getting ads for lesbian therapists, which seems to me to be a major failing in the ad personalization algorythm.

I find the potrayal of effeminate and trans characters so offensive that I need sedatives by the end of every ep because I'm so pissed off. Jelai and Sky's brother are just plain sexual predators, and the screeching every time Ace is in a scene with a trans character - it's all so cringy and revolting. Everything else I can forgive, but this is a major moral failing in the production, and is spreading incredibly negative lgbtq+ stereotypes to a mass audience.

I'm having a hard time with the misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia. I'm usually so angry by the end of an ep that I want to light things on fire, and I'm not sure that's what they were hoping for in an audience member, and it's not really the mood I'm looking for in my leisure activites.

It's a trainwreck, and it's full of incredibly offensive stereotypes. I don't mind if the story and acting get off to a rough start (the acting of the mains is good, so it's enough), but the disgusting homophobia diplayed in the predatory effeminate characters is truly revolting, not to mention the misogyny. I wish it were possible to give something a negative rating, Jelai openly sexually harasses Jam non-stop, Sky's brother is fawning all over Ace, who's trying to tend to his bruised and battered brother, and every trans character screams at the top of their lungs non-stop whenever Ace is nearby. Why can't characters both be effeminate (or trans) and non-ridiculous?

It's a shame, because they two leads are endearing and so cute together.

They saved the show from... the sin of same-sex love, by not having any? They saved it from offending asexuals? Saved it from being the worst BL on the air by making it 3rd worst?

When you see each other, do you you sit on steps and chat, or do you have your partner naked within 10 seconds of entering the room? I'm curious to hear your reaction to their reunion.

We mean a real kiss, not barely touching lips while eating a pretzel or sniffing each other.

The key word is 'limited', not 'zero', and there's certainly no issue with hugs on other shows.

Mil & Phukong are the only couple with chemistry, largely because Drake can put 100% pure sex into a smirk. I buy Man and Type as a couple that have been together for 20 years and still kind of get along as friends. Bright and Win have zero. Partly because Bright has the personality of a damp cardboard box, but even if they were good actors it wouldn't work because the show is clearly written by asexual philophobes.

I agree you don't have to touch to have chemistry, but you still have to touch at some point, unless you've made it clear that both characters are asexual or have fatal skin allergies and they'd die if they hug. Mil & Phukong haven't touched, but they have way more chemistry.

I'm bitter. This has been a waste of time. I think maybe the show is aimed at 12-year olds. Maybe younger than that. Everyone is ranting about the chemistry... If by chemistry you mean filling a beaker with distilled water using an eyedropper, then I might agree. Except that would be more exciting than this. Have you ever been in a new relationship where you've been apart for 2 weeks and then upon reuniting sit on steps and chat? They didn't even have to kiss - but at least run to each other and do one of those spinning around hugs where one of them lifts the other off the ground. Hello Stranger had no kiss, but the absolutely epic hug sold it for me. THAT is how people in love behave.

I totally agree. 2Gether worked until ep 6 and then the rest I could have skipped and missed nothing. If your actors are too homophobic to even hug, then get different actors. Drake is so sexy he can put 10 times more into a single smirk than everything Bright has ever done.

And 'My Day' makes 'Amore' look like Shakespeare. It's not like the Philippines can't produce good BL - Hello Stranger is my favorite of all time. But wow, My Day and Amore... and My Day looks like it has a big budget, so there's no excuse.

I can't tell you what it feels like to read this. It's like I've been sitting in a suffocating, hot, humid room and someone turned on the air conditioner and handed me a margarita. Everyone keeps going on about how genuine this was and the chemistry - hunh? What young new couple spends two weeks apart and then just sits and talks? They built up the tension of their being apart and then instead of a beautiful romantic pop we got a slow leak until the balloon was flat.

But genuine as friends, not lovers. I'm more affectionate with a bf after not seeing him all day while we're at work. After 2 weeks apart he gets thrown against the wall and ravaged the second he walks in (or preferably the other way 'round).

I see lots of chemistry as friends, but none as romantic partners. No adult couple that loves each other is that totally lacking in physical affection - especially after being apart for two weeks. Sorry, but this was so bloodless and lacking in passion that I didn't buy them as a couple at all. I wish I had a best friend like that, but as a love pair - that's what people behave like when they're in their 50s after being together for 30 years, not 19-year olds in a new relationship.

I'm not entirely sure what you're saying, but in real life, when you love someone and they love you back, you want to touch them. You hug and kiss when you haven't seen each other for two weeks. I don't believe for even a second that these two are a romantic couple. This series to me was aimed at 12-year olds, maybe younger - it's been a waste of time for me.
