Earlier I commented that these characters have the emotional intelligence of a potato. I regret that now. It was mean of me to insult the defenseless potato.
Better. The first season sets up Ah Zhai as a jerk, but season 2 is his redemption arc and he grows in his love for both Adam and Penny. Also he treats Adam much better by the end.
What worked for UWMA was the red string of fate, the flashbacks, the story had an interesting premise that saved it from being a generic BL drama. This doesn't have any of that even though its set in the same timeline and universe.
5 episodes in and Im so bored with the main couple. Everyone in this show has the emotional intelligence of a potato. Hope it gets more interesting soon. More or less just hanging on because of the small references to UWMA.
Common BL troupe: been together for a long time, confirmation of mutual love, let the awkwardness continue. I mean, seriously, they can bathe together (and somehow maintain their purity and chasteness) but get all coy when their faces get a tiny bit close? LMAO. I found this part about Talay the most annoying, constantly hot and cold in his interest toward Tun, constantly rejecting Tun's advances even after they are supposedly together. I guess it's supposed to be cute but whatever but this just instills great insecurity in Tun, or should. I'm not asking for miracles here, but dispense with the adolescent view of relationships. This is (or was) 2022. Many series before it, including GMMTV productions, have depicted this better.
TLDR; Good stuff but wish the relationship part could have been more grounded in reality.
Also, snow does NOT work like that. I actually laughed aloud when he was filling the cup with snow. That would take hours at that rate! Believe that. I live in Seattle where it snows yearly. Alternate universe magic bwahahaha
Enjoyable. Only real complaint is main couple fatigue. Things kinda dragged on a bit in the final few episodes and I was hoping more time could have been spent on the side couples, especially Alex and RJ. Also, I hate time skips; just lazy writing.
It's OK but the most irritating thing is the constant scene disruptions. Seemed like every scene would have a…
Another irritating thing: characters call each other to meet up to talk when they clearly don't want to talk to each other, and one person immediately tries to leave instead of talking. I mean... why the F would you take the time to commute and all that to wherever you are supposed to meet just to leave? I get that it's more engaging to watch two characters argue in person than over a phone, but so many scenes are contrived. It's exhausting. No wonder other viewers in the comments skipped parts. lol
It's OK but the most irritating thing is the constant scene disruptions. Seemed like every scene would have a couple of lines of dialog before it cut to another scene. Or skipping forward and backward. Story is fine and acting is alright, but just annoying to follow.
I'm so irritated by my inability to watch sad endings. This looks beautiful. I just cannot enjoy it safely since…
Oh, I think you are very much not alone. I have a good friend that feels the same way. Some of us tougher ones still cry (i do). Love of Siam destroyed me for 2 days, and I was very down after Grey Rainbow. This one was quite sad but more bittersweet as someone else commented. Still, if anyone is sensitive to that, watch with care and maybe with a friend.
Couple nitpicks:First: The first 9 episodes of them in high school took forever, quite tedious and couldn't even…
One more thing, I practically forgot about the Hom and Peak thing until a couple scenes at the 11th hour were shoehorned in. At that point, I didn't even care lol. Felt like they just wanted to appease Afterday.
