I understand your point but thus far I have been enjoying the flashback. At first I didn't like it because it was a flashback and we know later they are not BFs but we know they still talk.

Perhaps there is not much story to tell after the flashback and the meat of the story is in the the past.

Until the story ends, I can't judge.

Why? If the past is important, shouldn't we explore it?

Stereotypical angry asian guy?

Which BLs are you watching?

In Lovesick and Reminders, they never lived together.

In MIR, BookFrame move in together after almost a year of dating.

In ToL, HCTM and TT, they lived together as roomates before getting together.

I can probably keep going.

Off the top of my head, I can only think of Sarawat and Tine moving together very quickly BUT they had been dating for several weeks if I am not mistaken.

I haven't watched LBC.

I agree. Most gay ppl (including me)I know had sex first, before they started going steady. So I agree, if anything this show is more realistic than a Thai show.

This could be the best part of the show. I hope it happens! I ship them already!

When Solo asked Gui to move in after like a week of being bfs, who else thought "is solo a lesbian?" Lol

Gay men joke that lesbians move in together like the next day after they start dating. I know, damn the stereotypes. But it is a funny joke that even my lesbian friends say is sort of true.

Thank you. These are my thoughts exactly. I do hate Khim so much I haven't watch any of her scenes.

I like the junior doctor. He is super cute.

Kao taking his shirt off was the reason I took back the show after dropping it at the end of Ep 3. A friend posted pics of that scene with a shirtless Kao and a nice crutch view of him lol. Anyway, I decided to watch.

So yes, Kao is the only reason I am watching. I needed Oxygen in that scene. That boy is damn fine. Very very fine. ;)

Lol u and I both! I was frustrated with this show and I blamed it mostly on Solo but then his story got a wee bit better and I realized it was Khim who really made the show bad. I now ff her scenes and voila, here I am. I watched all the way to the last ep!

So I dropped it after ep 3 then went back and started watching again. I just skipped over the Khim plot and it has worked well!!! Everytime she is on screen I fast forward!!!!

Good points...

My husband uses the word babe, which I didn't like at first. However, after 13 years of being together, it feels normal. He is the only person in the world who has ever called me babe and I am now 100% ok with it. I sometimes call him babe, but like you I am not big on nicknames so I like to call him by his name. Interestingly, I am not allowed to call him baby. He hates that word. I use to use that nickname with my previous partners but not with him ;)

So I am OK with Gave and Cai calling each other baby. However, like you, it grated my ears at first a little bit...

Just to suggest some other good Pinoy BLs.... I am currently watching My Extraordinary, and I like it. I also watched (but didn't finished), Hello Stranger. It is good, just not as quick paced as Gameboys.

I would say, avoid Sakristan (terrible ending and the acting is all over the place).

Oh, I also recommend My Day but TBH it is not everyone's cup of tea. I personally love Miko and Aki and think they have the best chemistry of all the new BL couples of 2020 (including Thailand). This is an ongoing series so IDK how it will end but so far it has had some excellent moments and some meh moments but overall I like it.

Yeah... thats funny because in Japanese ano is also a filler word like ummm in English. ;)

Well, Yaoi is more graphic. Also in a Yaoi there is a lot less plot.

you are so right!!!!!! I agree 1000% :)

It is sad that he is depressed when he has accomplished so much and his life will only get better.

I hope he gets better. I will patiently wait for the next episode!

They didn't have sex, they fake kissed. OK, maybe they did kiss for real LOL but they didn't have sex.

You have a good point. It is the weakest link in this show: the tone seems to be inconsistent: one time it is a disney fairy tale, another time it is a classic BL and yet another time it is pure YAOI fantasy.

I like it but it is far from perfect and you are right that the script seems to be one of the biggest issues.

The chemistry between Miko and Aki saves it for me thought.... :)

Well, can we differentiate between the show being homophobic and the show reflecting a homophobic society?

While I agree this show seems a bit "old fashioned" in its depiction of gay romance and homosexuality, I don't think I would go as far as calling it homophobic.

Besides, one can't judge a show as homophobic or having a homophobic message until you watch the entire show to see how it ends.

Take note of what I said exactly.

I think once you are past a certain point in your transition, you embrace your gender identity and it becomes part of your true self. I don't think it is impossible to switch back and forth but the true self always show.

Jennie is a woman through and through. That is her real self as far as I can tell. Of course, we would have to ask her, but that's where I see her being more comfortable.

That confidence translates to a tangible beauty. It comes out in every picture and with every smile.

This is why I say, she is beautiful as her true natural self. I didn't say as a woman ;) You said that.

OK. This clears it up. Thanks!
