There are people who dont like watching something you would consider “morally wrong” in real life. If you…
I don't mind angst at all. Actually I thrive on it. So long as it has a happy ending. 😅 To be honest the only plot device I hate in BLs is cheating. But I've looked past that before if the chemistry and acting is really good.
Ok, I've seen a number of comments from viewers that they find Sean and White falling in love with each other…
I didn't think it was too fast either. There were a lot of moments with quite a bit of tension between the two of them leading up to that kiss. Even right from episode 1. We don't see the typical BL pining or unrequited love which is different than usual, but I felt like this was much more real. Falling in love isn't always predictable. And sometimes once the gloves come off, it's an all in sort of deal, which is what happened with them. I love the way their love story was portrayed.
It does, but I think she wanted to explore a different media, as she's never had the chance to do a film before. Either way, whether it's a series or film, it would be nice to see it!
I know we are left with a lot of unresolved political plot points...but I actually feel like that's kind of the point. Change doesn't happen overnight. The fight goes ever on. It would have felt in my mind even more unrealistic to see Tawi fall completely out of power, and to have things be 'resolved'. They've started a revolution, and the only way we could have seen the end of that is with a massive time skip. Which I'm glad they didn't do. P'Nuchy mentioned that she would love to do a movie for Not Me if given the opportunity. I hope she gets it, because that would be a great way to show the further impact of their actions as well as the political resistance that still remains.
I'm glad this final episode focused a bit more on our characters, and what the fallout could mean for them and their personal lives. I'm also happy we have finished on an uplifting note. There's hope, that what they have done will create change. I think they couldn't have possibly given us a better finale given the circumstances with censorship and budgeting issues. What they accomplished with what they had is incredible. I love this show so much.
The fact that the conversations I had with other viewers ranged from: gushing over the couples and our favorite…
No other BL show has provoked thoughtful discussion quite like this one. I was really putting myself in the shoes of all these characters after each episode and trying to understand the choices they made, quite often relating to how real they were. <3 Such a great show.
I'm genuinely baffled at how they managed to simultaneously make this last episode incredibly stressful, yet so healing, and also wrapped up loose ends like that? HOW? HOW?
To be completely honest, I never felt attracted to the Dan/Yok storyline, but with that being said, and although…
I totally understand everything you've said here. He's put in a position where he needs to choose between different people he cares for. His family, or Yok. While also in a sense 'preventing' everyone's deaths. Or he's been told this. And the viewer naturally angers because we see this purely as a betrayal of Yok, having never met Dan's family and not understanding his relationship with his parents at all. But realistically, this is a very difficult choice to make, and Dan is human, and he struggled with it, but came to the conclusion that most people would in real life. The one that prevents loss of life. It doesn't make it hurt any less though.
