 RXinw:

Their NC scene left me wanting more from them as well as left me in anticipation for the main couple's NC scene

(re "Sangmin Dinneaw") I thought you might say that! And no worries, this series doesn't seem to shy about NC scenes, so I'm sure you'll get your wish.

 RXinw:

The scene with the aloe vera was hilarious to me. When Dinneaw had the slime between his fingers my mind went south

I thought you might say that, too. Shame on you! Tsk tsk.

 RXinw:

However, recently the same cannot be said regarding Love Sea and Wedding Plan

Speaking for myself, I loved "Wedding Plan". It's cute, fluffy and light, which I know isn't your thing, but I wouldn't lump it into the same category with "Love Sea".

I saw this relationship chart in Redditt.

(re "Love Sick 2024") This is such a huge help. I wish I'd had it while watching.

I never wrote a lot talking about a BL series ever before

(re "ThamePo") I like it when others share their enthusiasm. I've totally lovin' this series, too.

 stayforlife:

going two weeks without a new episode of the heart killers. i'm surprised i made it in one piece.

just one more day to go!

P.S. It's now Tuesday. I've watched the final episodes (two - ep. 10, then ep. 11 is some years later, i.e. sort of an epilogue, but essential to the story). As with the series itself, the ending is arguably happy but bittersweet, with a lot of depth that requires thought. It's a compelling but reality-based story, not a BL fairy tale. Again, highly recommended. Among serious (non-fluffy) JBLs, this is one of the best. 

Related to Ep 11 but a spoiler if you haven't watched: Not there yet but I hope it's soon.

Not there yet but I hope it's soon.

I'll believe it when I see it. Although roughly 70% of the Japanese public supports same-sex marriage in two recent high-quality opinion polls, which is the highest approval rate in Asia, even above Thailand (see graphic below), the national government is soooo conservative, and I don't see that changing under Ishiba. Per a recent article in Asahi Shimbun: "Although Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has said that recognizing same-sex marriage would have a positive impact on society, he remains hesitant to commit to legislative action." This sounds like Japanese indirectness for a big fat "no". (I hope I'm wrong.)

Soooooo, what you are saying is that, you were thinking about me 🙃

Nope, I did not find it cute, fluffy and light. Sometime ago I went on a long rant about this series. To save time and me going into another rant lol, let me just say I was very upset regarding how the whole story developed and ended 😁

Okay guys, brace yourselves (Do not view in public)
