Do you mean this show is better than all the Thai BLs? I haven't seen many Thai BLs of late, but I can imagine!
I think you are mixing up Happy of the End with End of the World With You (Bokura no micro shuumatsu). I didn't care as much for the latter as the others did. But I did like the former.
No complaints brought up about the makeup artist confusing the rogue’s facial serum and baby oil for, so far,…
Hahahaha. Does the witness believe it was baby oil all along? The prosecution suspected that Haruto's face had been pressed through a laminator... Either way, he shines!
Hilarious review- enjoyed it muchly. I think I've found one of the few people who make my ratings look high!
Awww... thanks!
Yes, my ratings get me into a lot of trouble, but to be honest, I don't know how to rate things on a scale of 1 to 10, not least here. If I give "In The Mood For Love" and "City of Sadness" a 10, and "Fahlanruk" and "2Gether" a 1, most things will have to go bang in the middle, right?
even more impressive- a bunch of them couldn't play or barely play when cast and took lessons and practiced to…
Indeed. I wish they would do a Focus Group *before* they give money to any BL, so that we can give them some useful feedback... such as, this show needs a *plot*.
I thought I had already replied to you for some reason, but evidently hadn't. But, yes, thank you! I found it…
Oh, that's where I know him from! He's so good in it! Wow, tells you what a bad script can do to an actor.
I love Charles Tu (as you will see from Sermon No. 3), and he was great in History4. But they really did succeed in making him look washed-up here. What a pity!
I fully agree with your first two points. One of the things that sank this show was that neither of the main couple…
I thought I had already replied to you for some reason, but evidently hadn't. But, yes, thank you! I found it really hard to ignore Sea's hand placement on the keyboard, which amounted to moving his claw hands between the same three chords over and over again. Mind you, it *is* in keeping with the music of the show, which is auto-tuned to the point that all musical instruments become unnecessary. For what it's worth, I will also point to Sermon No. 4 above to explain why Sea has no stage presence. He really needed a haircut.
And you're right. My School President is one of the few shows that gets the music right.
even more impressive- a bunch of them couldn't play or barely play when cast and took lessons and practiced to…
Wow... I didn't know any of this! Couldn't they have had a few more lessons? Or couldn't they have cut the number of episodes by half, and used the budget to get a better cast or give them better training? God knows the series had precious little plot...
🤣🤣🤣True. The Japanese seem to have lost their spark as well as the Thais. Beside the fluke that was HOTE…
I'm trying to think. Has JBL *ever* done a step-brother plot? Mind you, if it's Japanese, they'd rather do a proper full-on incest than the soft pseudo-incest so beloved of Taiwan (and Thailand).
There's another case where German comes to the rescue, as there is nothing even approaching an English equivalent…
I love German and studied it at university, but, as I mentioned to jpyn01 above, it has its very odd quirks. The separable verbs and grammatical gender are what I found and find the hardest. By contrast, Japanese is supposed to be the hardest language in the world, but I find myself more at ease with it, because neither of my two native languages have grammatical gender or case systems.
There's another case where German comes to the rescue, as there is nothing even approaching an English equivalent…
Ah, yes, the German extended adjective: "The written-with-the-pen-of-the-gardener's-aunt-and-to-be-handed-in-tomorrow musical essay..."
The worst aspect of German -- and I love the language -- is the separable verb. You begin a page long sentence, and it begins "Ich höre... ", and you think it's about hearing, only for the sentence to end in the next page with "auf". Only now, it no longer means 'to hear something', but 'to stop'...
Have you read Twain's That Awful German Language? It's very funny.
Thanks! I think I will! And yes, I thoroughly enjoyed talking to myself. People do tell me I have a silky smooth…
Lol. You sought to protect your brain cells by reading a review you hate from top to bottom? Is that the same logic as kissing typhoid Mary to protect yourself from typhoid? With a brain cell like that, no wonder it needs protection.
By all means, go and “read” a blank page. No one asked you to read my words. Or to reply to them — which, by implication, means that you think they are worth enough to reply to, which, in turn logically makes them better than a blank page. But then, logic isn’t your strong suit. I still don’t understand why you wrote your comment in the first place, if all you wanted was, in the end, to tell me you loathed me and my comment, and not to persuade me of your point of view. But then, I suppose it is well within your right to be so odious.
"... where, if you replace the submissive person with a woman, you'd barely notice the difference ... two extremes…
Thanks! I think I will! And yes, I thoroughly enjoyed talking to myself. People do tell me I have a silky smooth voice.
But you loved it too, didn’t you? Or at least loved to hate it, or hatefully loved it, both of which are forms of love. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have bothered to read my review all the way to the bottom and so closely. That’s more than enough, I should say, to confirm its literary merit.
I would respond to your criticisms point by point, including the fact that I am a gay man from a homophobic country, with a best friend who is HIV+, and that I vastly prefer BLs to anything that aspires to realism. But given that you wilfully misinterpreted my words, and chose to end your comment with a cheap, ad hominem attack, I will merely repeat your favourite phrases from the review: Urgh. I will not dignify that with a response.
Now, by all means, show yourself out, and, while you're at it, pick up a sense of humour. And if you really do not care for my voice (in any sense of that word), put your money where your mouth is, and don't reply. Because if you do, I'll take it as proof positive that you really do love me...

Now, go away and leave me alone.
