I am so sad Only Boo is ending today :( I am gonna miss them tons. <3

I am experiencing a complex mix of emotions at the moment.SeaKeen has secured a well-deserved spot as an all-time favorite OTP. I am utterly obsessed with their adorableness and look forward to their next project together.  Sea must be protected at all costs. Love  For the iconic Sea Dance.

Oh, @Rique, tsk tsk, you're so behind. I already posted this  (with the BBC link) 12 days ago! (Or should I sulk that no one listens to me ...)

Oops. Well this is awkward. Of course we listen to you. I just happened to over look your post in this particular instance. It is an exception and certainly not a habit. 

 RiqueXinw:

So it seems I will have to work in this order:

1. City of Love
2. 25-ji Akasaka de
3. Only Boo

Baring any unforeseen work, I can finish these in less than a week (inner voice - you're very optimistic, remember you have the people's work to do) *side-eye*

You are optimistic!

I might start 25 Ji, Akasaka de soon. I don't see City of Love listed on MDL. 

✨ Day 23 -See you at the met- Showcase an iconic wardrobe

The right answer is Talay from Vice Versa. His outfits matching the colors from each episode was iconic.

I'm just checking in to see if you were able to see my comment about how to quote specific phrases on a post instead of the whole thing

Is it bad that I am ready to get to Sky's part of the story and Rain makes me a little irritated like a little brother? LITA is oddly addicting regardless. I think it's the fast driving. I can pretend it's Fast and Furious but with BL.

Edit to add though that he won cute vs irritating points at the porridge shop. And the rest of the episode basically won me over.

But I also giggle every time Rain is in the rain... Sometimes I wonder if I'm actually as old as my birth certificate says.

 babi:

I did!

Great! I'm glad... there are so many posts  here I wanted to make sure it didn't  get lost in the mix

Rain makes me a little irritated

I initially had trouble sticking with the LITA series. Although I liked Boss's acting, Noeul's performance could have been better. Their acting styles could have meshed better(I know this is an unpopular opinion), although I understand it could have been intentional based on the characters. Because of this, I almost stopped watching the series, but everything changed for me in episode 8. Sky's story was a game-changer.

Love Sea - Episode 3

First of all let me just say, WOW. My thoughts are everywhere. This entire episode had me hooked. I did not even move an inch from my position in bed; from the very start to the very end. The acting is beautifully done in such a way that every emotion portrayed on screen is palpable. It felt like more than watching a series. Fort and Peat took me on a journey through their portrayals of Mut and Rak. I felt every transition of emotions. 

I had said this somewhere, I am not sure if it was here I said it, but I had predicted that Rak would use that fact he paid Mut as a weapon to guard himself and that he did when he tried to refuse Mut in the beginning of the episode. The fact that he apologised demonstrates that he is falling hard and even if he does not realise it as yet, by the end of the episode he is in love with Mut. When Mut took Rak on the beach and they laid down gazing at the stars, the intimacy and peacefulness of the moment felt so real as if you could reach out and pop the bubble surrounding them. They created this open atmosphere that it was believable for Rak to just open up about his childhood, and the fact that he questions why he is even telling Mut just made the scene even more real. When Mut said, "You are beautiful when you smile", I all but melted. Being told that you are handsome or pretty are just mere compliments but when someone really looks at you and just says, "You are beautiful", I believe there is something special about that. 

When Mut tells the story between his father and him you cannot help but feel upset on Mut's behalf. That is a terrible thing for a human to do to another let alone a father to do to a child; his own child at that. 

Based on the phone conversation between Rak and his sister I believe it is fair to infer that the extent of trauma Rak is suffering from at the hands of his father is extensive.

The final punch in the gut for me, was watching Rak beg Mut to beg him to stay. To just tell him to stay because all he has to do is ask. That hit hard for me. We see where Mut's own insecurities come to light. He thinks of himself as not good enough for Rak.

I agree that the series is fast paced but it is done in a way as well as the chemistry is such that it is believable and wholesome. We have to consider that enough time has passed in the series for Rak's stay to have concluded. We must also keep in mind that love is without ambit and time constraints. You cannot predict love and I think that is what makes Rak and Mut's story so special; neither of them were in search of love but it came knocking on the doors of their hearts. Furthermore, I believe the series to be fast paced to allow for enough room to explore the conflicts between Rak and his father and the accompanying trauma. There are only 10 episodes and based on the hints given there will be some deep emotional wounds to expose. Recognise how by the next episode they have moved the setting back to Bangkok; which leads me to speculate that we are about to explore the conflicts as we are now out of the paradisal haven of the island and into the bustling, stressful and conflicting environment of the city. Rak taking Mut with him, for me, is symbolic of him taking his peace with him that he discovered on the island.

I will stop here for now with my thoughts. I look forward to the next episode.

P.S for the new members who are unfamiliar with my long post, welcome lol. I promise my post can be longer lol.
