ā After taking a sip of the Tequila Sunrise or Screwdriver mixed by Yo, Plug remarks, "Poured a lot of booze in here, not afraid of getting tipsy?" Yo retorts, "If I get tipsy, will someone take care of me?" Plug shoots back, "So, you want to be taken care of?" With that, they embrace, dissolving the tension between them with a snug hug.
ā” Top and Mew spar over who gets to wash the dishes, and predictably, a dish meets its shatter-fate. Ah, the old dish-wash duel scenario, spiced up with Top's quip, "Told you I could handle the suds."
⢠One of Mew's moms goes all sage on him, unraveling the grand tapestry of forgiving and forgetting, like a spiritual guru in action. Just then, Top plops down, declaring a change of heart, "Guess I'll stick around for the night."
⣠Atom lays it all bare to his sister Chueam, both brushing off the Boston incident like it's mere water under the bridge. Then, Chueam steps into the fabulous shoes of a gay ally, proudly urging Atom to live out loud in all shades of the rainbow.
⤠Top pops the roomie question to Mew, pitching the sweet deal of daily breakfasts, gym rides, and nightly cuddle sessions. As the proposition hangs in the air, they find themselves on the couch, with Top playfully teasing Mew's ticklish spots, turning the cozy invite into a laugh fest.
Wait for each segment to fully play out before watching, to avoid the issue of missing English subtitles.
But hey, the deal-breaker? Gotta make sure my man is cool with my flamboyantly gay crew.
Top seems to be navigating through a storm of emotional caprices, particularly evident in episode ten. His interactions with Mew and Boeing are nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, painting a picture of a guy who's not quite hitting the emotional or intellectual marks.
Letās stroll down that tricky lane where Top quizzes Mew about his jumbled feelings towards him. It's like he's poking a beehive, expecting not to get stung. Mewās stammering silence screams discomfort, while Top appears to be missing the emotional memo, big time.
Now, ride the wave to the water jetting scene. Mew makes it clear that he's in a 'wait and see' mode with Top, turning down Top's surfing invite as he's not keen on planning a future filled with uncertainties, especially with a guy whose relationships have a three-month shelf life. The water gets a bit chilly when Top doesn't catch the drift of Mew's self-protective stance, even after Mew's profound statement about learning from failures.
Fast forward to Boeing's entrance and oh boy, does the temperature drop! Topās handling of the situation is like trying to catch smoke with his bare hands. As Boeing and Mew get chummy, Topās unease is as visible as a sore thumb, yet heās playing it cool, or at least trying to. Boeing challenges him, outshines him in surfing, and yet Top doesnāt step up to the plate. It's like he's got his head in the sand while the world's moving around him.
The dinner scene in episode nine is like an awkward symphony playing to an audience of cringe. As the tension among Top, Mew, and Boeing simmers, Top is right there, yet nowhere in action. His passive stance amidst Boeingās jibes in the shower scene in episode 10 is akin to watching a glacier melt ā slow, inevitable, and a tad disappointing.
Topās journey in these scenes is like a shaky boat amidst an emotional storm. His lack of emotional and situational intelligence, not to mention his passiveness in times of crisis, are painting him into a corner. And as the narrative unfolds, one canāt help but ponder - will Top find his compass, or will he continue to drift in a sea of emotional ambiguity and missed cues?
Side note: First vs Mond
First takes the chest trophy, while Mond abs-olutely steals the show in the belly battle!
Then, in a scene shift thatās as smooth as sandpaper, we find Kanghan at a soccer camp in episode 10, because why not? His teenage hormones are doing the tango, but sadly, the romance with Sailom is more vanilla than a scoop of HƤagen-Dazs.
Now, letās talk bromance! Saifa and Name are planning a Great American Road Trip, sans the motorcycles, after making it big. But plot twist, Saifa admits to shooting Kanghan's dad. Was it a ploy to free Name from the clutches of a gang? Oh, the brain cell count is plummeting!
Episode 10 is a melodrama of familial feels, as Kanghan learns of his fatherās sacrifice for his dying mother. But the scriptwriter seems to have taken a detour from BL Avenue to Family Drama Lane, much to the dismay of the eager audience.
Our fiery youth Kanghan is a paradox wrapped in a conundrum. One moment he's all in with Sailom, the next, he's letting go faster than you can say āplot holeā. Oh Kang, didn't anyone tell you athletes need to flex their brain muscles too? Or is your brain still on a beach sipping piƱa coladas?
And let's not forget the superhero moment when Kanghan tracks down Sailom at the hotel with nothing but a misdialed call. Who needs logic when you have the superpower of plot convenience?
Brace yourselves, dear viewers, as episode 11 promises to dive deeper into the abyss of mind-boggling narratives. My popcorn is ready, is yours?
Ah, the hacker tale and the Bully 23.5 love saga, now those are trails waiting to be blazed! They hold the promise of a plot that keeps you on the edge, hearts racing with every twist and turn. But alas, we're served a platter of high school sweethearts, wrapped in a bow of predictability.
But fret not, the silver screen may yet surprise us. Hereās to holding out for the day when the scriptwriters dive into the uncharted, and gift us a narrative thatās as unpredictable as a cat on a hot tin roof.
So letās keep the popcorn popping and the hopes high, because who knows? The next reel might just spin a tale that sends our hearts aflutter and our minds awhirl. Until then, weāll keep the critiques coming and the banter buzzing.
Ah, the sight of youth, unrestrained and riding into the sunset on a hefty motorbike, bags of retail therapy swinging by their side. The road home indeed seems like a thrilling adventure laden with fashion hazards. Oh, the daring escapade of navigating through traffic with newly acquired wardrobes fluttering in the breeze! The journey back surely promises a blend of adrenaline and style, with a dash of peril for that extra zest.
I must tip my hat to the Taiwanese production crew, who've spun a light-hearted BL drama into a charming tapestry filled with familiar tropes, yet managed to keep it fresh and endearing. There's an adorable knack to how they've made clichƩs lovable, and even moving at places. Xiao Hong's acting is a sparkling gem in this show, truly a rising star. When it comes to BL in Asia, Taiwan indeed has a unique flair.
And oh, your skepticism mirrors mine! Itās like expecting a spicy Tom Yum and getting a sweet Tom Kha - both delightful but oh, the spicy zing is missed. Gemini-Fourth, while a charm, faces the narrative gymnastics of morphing into Aoki and Ida. Your preference for the 23.5 narrative echoes the classic conundrum: to revel in the familiar or to venture into the remake wilderness. The screen awaits to unveil whether this Thai twist will sizzle or fizzle. Till then, the speculations brew, much like the anticipation for a new Gemini-Fourth narrative adventure!
