Taichi’s facial expressions completely captivated me. Kobayashi’s acting is absolutely mesmerizing—every subtle change in his face tells a story.
Kohei hides all his feelings like a movie on a VHS tape—you can’t know what’s inside until you play it. Those VHS tapes in the film club are such a clever metaphor for hidden emotions and secrets.
However, the only drawback is the English translation. I don’t mean to nitpick, but translating “zurui” as “crafty” feels off, so let me shed some light on this.
In this scene, Kohei is expressing that Taichi doesn’t understand how much he’s repressing his feelings, so he calls him “zurui,” which is more like “unfair” (as in, “You don’t get my feelings and still say those things”). Taichi, on the other hand, calls Kohei “zurui” (unfair) because he keeps avoiding him and not confronting the issue.
These emotional nuances are what make the series so special. I truly hope this wonderful BL gets a better English translation to capture its depth and complexity! This show deserves the best translation possible!
Ever wonder why Taishin is so clueless that it’s almost like he’s living in his own little world?
I get it—Taishin’s level of naivety is hard for us modern folks to wrap our heads around, and it can lead to some pretty negative reactions.
I’m not here to change anyone’s mind, but I’ve got to share some thoughts about Taishin’s character design.
Taishin is your classic “tennen boke” from Japanese manga or anime—the quintessential airhead, bless his heart. These characters are naturally innocent and oblivious, almost to a fault.
Why do Japanese creators love making characters like Taishin? It’s simple—they embody pure-hearted simplicity, offering a refreshing break from the drama and stress of everyday life.
Taishin’s got that socially awkward charm that makes Takara want to protect him from the big, bad world.
Take Taishin’s adorable habit of making direct eye contact with strangers—a big no-no in Japanese society. It’s like he missed the memo on social norms, but that’s what makes him so lovable!
For many Japanese viewers, Taishin is like a ray of sunshine, providing a sense of liberation and comfort amidst the hustle and bustle. He’s a reminder that sometimes, it’s okay to be a little clueless and just live in the moment.
I really think Muk’s character is so unrealistic!//I think this shows the difference between being gay and being…
I totally get where you're coming from. Vie's behavior can definitely come off as manipulative, and it's frustrating that she hasn't shown much growth. It's sad that Mook doesn't realize Vie's true feelings, but you're right—Vie needs to be more genuine in her approach. Let's hope for some real character development soon!
I really think Muk’s character is so unrealistic!//I think this shows the difference between being gay and being…
Haha, touché! You’ve got a point there. It’s like every BL where the guy turns into a flustered mess when helping his crush. Guess Muk’s got her own GL version of “unzip and panic!”
She was unzipping, not zipping up. And as a lesbian myself who knows what it’s like to unzip another woman’s…
Thanks for sharing your perspective! I totally get it now. Muk's reaction does make more sense if she’s secretly crushing on Vivi. Your insight really adds depth to her character for me. Appreciate the context!
Ah, that bitch from aliexpress was painfully annoying this episode. The amount of caffeine in my system was barely…
Ugh, that woman was more annoying than a pop-up ad! I nearly used my iPad as a frisbee every time she opened her mouth. Rak and Mut should get sainthood for their patience—I’d have given her a one-way ticket to Slapville the second she showed up. But hey, at least Boss in that outfit was hotter than a summer sidewalk. Gotta appreciate the small wins!
And I can totally understand why Muk would be defensive around Mahasamut. But seriously, her reaction to zipping up Vivi’s dress was just too much!
Come on! As a woman, unless you’ve never liked wearing dresses since you were little, which I totally respect, any woman who wears dresses has had other women help with the back zipper. It’s practically a rite of passage.
From childhood, mothers help their daughters dress. If you have sisters, you often help each other, especially with those tricky zippers. It’s a bonding experience, really.
At important events like weddings, parties, or other formal occasions, friends always help each other with zippers or adjusting outfits. It’s one of those unspoken codes among women – we’ve all been there and we all understand.
In fitting rooms, store clerks often assist customers with the back zipper of dresses. It’s a common courtesy that makes shopping for that perfect dress a little less stressful.
And at certain events or activities, colleagues help each other out, especially when preparing for a performance or an important meeting. These small acts of kindness make all the difference.
I really think Muk’s character is so unrealistic! If she’s that resistant, she should just carry a zipper helper in her bag. Next time Vivi tries to tease her, she can just hand it over! Honestly, a little practicality goes a long way. After all, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Or should I say, a zipper in need is a friend indeed?
Mahasamut may not have gone to college, and he doesn’t come from a fancy background or hold a high status, but his common sense, quick wit, and genuine sincerity towards Tongrak are like living self-help quotes.
Mahasamut advises Tongrak to ditch the online comments and encourages him to drop the act of being unaffected by haters. His words to Tongrak are both loving support and nuggets of life wisdom:
“Trying to dodge negativity or squash it only backfires. Avoiding pain just creates more pain.”
Given the trauma Tongrak has endured from his family, with Mahasamut’s support, I hope he learns that true strength is facing life’s scariest challenges head-on and still moving forward, whether it’s dealing with his abusive father or his bullying cousin.
Denying your problems takes a ton of energy, especially when you’re surrounded by them. With Mahasamut by his side, I believe Tongrak will learn to confront his issues head-on and master the art of not letting anything get to him.
Maybe Thai is similar to my country. Many small to mid-sized companies here are like that. I used to be an intern…
That’s a really interesting point! It seems like smaller companies around the world have similar setups. Your experience as an intern at a subsidiary of a well-known publishing company really resonates. Directors often end up wearing multiple hats, just like Baimon in the series. It makes sense if the production house in the show is small to mid-sized. Thanks for sharing 😊
As a former HR manager wrangling trainees, I can’t help but giggle at the workplace scenes in this BL series. Ba-Mhee reminds me of some trainees with major work ethic issues. If I were still in the trenches, Ba-Mhee would be my nightmare. Now, as a housewife, I can laugh my head off.
The workplace setting is surprisingly spot-on, especially in managing trainees. One thing that makes me scratch my head, though, is the lack of a dedicated trainee manager. Baimon is juggling both recruiting and managing, and he seems to be the director too! No wonder he hasn’t noticed Ba-Mhee’s shenanigans. The supervising employee hasn’t reported either—probably due to poor communication channels.
This plot twist adds drama but also highlights real management hiccups. It spices up the drama and gets viewers thinking about workplace issues. For me, it’s both hilarious and oddly relatable.
When Yoryak and Dee were sitting by the pool discussing who flips over whom when they get old, I couldn’t stop laughing! My dirty mind was thinking of something else entirely. Honestly, the whole scene was a laugh-out-loud surprise.
This is a rom-com that’s like an open invitation to a party. Anyone who's up for some fun will have a great time! Picture a fiesta where the main course is laughter and the dessert is pure joy.
Put aside your theories, artsy-fartsy comments, and pretentious literary criticism. Just ask yourself if you want to vibe and have a good time. Seriously, life’s too short for overthinking.
If the answer is yes, then you’re going to love this show. Dive in and let the good times roll! It’s going to be a blast!
OMG! Yoryak channeled Muhammad Ali, using his legendary Rope-a-Dope tactic by leaning on the ropes, letting his opponent wear himself out, and then striking back to claim the victory!
Trust me, their plan to hold a fan meet in Rome totally means they've got more collaborations coming! I'm super excited for their next BL project together!
