I understand where you are coming from and appreciate your perspective on the term “explicit.” I agree that it may not accurately describe what we see on screen. 🙂

Haha, I see what you did there! But on a serious note, I agree that it's unlikely we'll see a lot of "skin" in the remaining episodes. Hopefully, the show will continue to engage and entertain us without relying on explicit content.

Well, I love your priorities - long, lean, and hairless. And if the naked eating gets too thin, just remember there's always a buffet of other shows out there to feast upon. 😂

Seems like a lot of skin and not enough substance. Hope he's getting paid by the inch. 😂

LOL

Mass-produced Thai BL dramas are like disposable entertainment products and shouldn't be taken too seriously. If it weren't Force, I wouldn't even bother with them. However, stories without plot and character development would make me hit the stop button immediately. Luckily, GMMTV hit the jackpot and gave me Force, who I'm really into. I just have to suck it up. 😧

Although the first story had a runtime of about 2 hours, I decided to watch it despite having no expectations. However, the outdated and nonsensical plot left me disappointed with the recent Thai BL genre. I found it ridiculous that the knife was aimed at the leather rope bracelet, yet the wrist remained unharmed. This was even more absurd than running under the sun while wearing multiple layers of clothing!

lol

I witnessed something that defied all logic and common sense. Two men spent the night sleeping on a scorching hot tropical beach, fully clothed in shirts and pants. As someone who is accustomed to wearing business attire and adheres to cultural norms, I could never imagine enduring such a situation in a place like Thailand where temperatures soar above 30 degrees Celsius all year round. What's more, these men did not even appear to be sweating as they woke up in the blistering sun. It's simply ridiculous and unbelievable.

While I confess that I watch this show for Force, who is simply irresistible with his stunning lashes and muscular physique, I find it hard to overlook the predictable tropes, cliches, and exaggerated gestures of the characters, including Cher's over-the-top behavior. The beach scenes, in particular, are becoming tedious and repetitive, with the same old scene of two grown men splashing water on each other as if it's the first time they've ever done it. It's exhausting and frustrating to see this overused trope in BL shows.

I find the erotic recipes and ingredients, sexual puns in the dialogues, and sudden use of Thai and Mandarin Chinese (one of the actors is from Taiwan) to be quite delightful. The show's international flavor adds an interesting element to the viewing experience.

And…I can't get the image of Ichijo's naked body out of my head now.

Minoru drops out of college after his mother's passing to care for his younger brother, who is still in kindergarten. His selfless act is truly admirable, but he seems to carry a sense of guilt about his mother's death. Perhaps he feels obligated to take care of his brother, but struggles with feelings of inadequacy in his caregiving skills. He cannot cook well and finds it challenging to balance taste and nutrition. Yutaka's inherent nurturing qualities offer him a sense of hope and comfort. When Yutaka prepares a bento for him, Minoru's reaction is that of a child being pampered. In many ways, Yutaka's warmth and care melt his heart and ease his burdensome sense of guilt.

When Minoru learns that Yutaka wakes up at 5 to make bento, he can't help but burst into laughter. Perhaps he finds it amusing that Yutaka takes things so seriously. However, I believe that Minoru is actually nervous about not knowing how to respond to Yutaka. When you like someone but struggle to express it, you may become awkward and laugh nervously.

He shines like a sunflower in Our Dining Table and never fails to bring joy to my heart.

I love this scene so much!

While Tane is taking a nap after their lunch, Yutaka confides in Minoru that he made bento for the first time and expresses his concern that they might not enjoy it.

As Minoru listens intently to Yutaka and contemplates his words, his face reflects a range of emotions. This scene is incredibly powerful and moving.

Minoru has been preoccupied with Yutaka, as he has developed feelings for him. Yutaka's confession seems to intensify Minoru's awareness of his fondness for him.

Yutaka has a conversation with his colleague, who teaches him how to make bento. The colleague remarks that Yutaka must have a strong liking for the kid (Tane), given his nervousness about satisfying his appetite. I think that they both agree that bringing happiness to others through delicious food is one of the greatest pleasures one can experience.

However, Minoru seems to misunderstand Yutaka's words and assumes that he is indirectly confessing his feelings for him.

Ah!

I live in Tokyo, and Tajín seasoning can only be found in certain specialty stores.

Love this show. By the way, I came across this news story yesterday. https://mdpr.jp/news/detail/3698062
