Sorry, I know I'll get bashed for this one .. ?  .. Will you fall in love with someone who beat the s*** out of you like a punching bag?

Genuinely, it is not meant to be offensive.

that's exactly why i said it's toxic in all aspects and no way in hell i would?

but that's the whole thing about their relationship, and i can't help but love it

I also like this series, because it is very close to generalising genres for same-sex relationships. Only 2 reason for low rating .. the 2 side couples ... Jeff & barcode has less story .... Bible & build they made them toxic... ? 

Manner of Death and Not me being the other two. 

In my opinion, there should just only be "the show" 2 people met no matter what gender if its rom-com or thriller or mystery whatever just don't emphasise it is a straight, a bl or a gl in the story ... on the outside we know .. but in the story .. like .. I am at the loss of words .. ?

I don't think it is offensive to say that. I think it is good to be able to recognize when the media you consume or enjoy romanticizes certain problematic aspects. Vegas and Pete were definitely a case of trauma bonding. It only works in a fictional context and not something to idealize in reality .

No .. I didn't mean what I said (I stand by it) .. but the way I put my words .. I thought reader might take it as offence.  

 Saygo:

True... but I think people get their most of knowledge from internet these days (which is not bad if not toxic) .... so .... I doubt not to relate it to reality.

You can consider it (content shown through media) as an eye-opener or consume it as whole totally depends on individual.

Every time I think I'm making progress with going through my Watchlist by checking off one series, I end up adding 3 to 4 more.  And I mainly blame this group for it.

Thank you!

This is me too!

What traps me are those dang YT shorts. I've added at least 50 dramas/movies that way. But, it's nice having so many things to look forward to!! Before i discovered foreign dramas i always felt like there was nothing on because i only had a handful of fav shows. Now i have soooo many options. And i wait for shows to finish before i start so i can binge if i so desire...or switch to another show if i get too annoyed with the tomfoolery or the characters/actors. Then there are those that i can't bring myself to finish because if i roll my eyes one more time they might just stay up there.  =P

So, what do we all think of Episode 1 of "Utsukushii Kare Season 2"? I really can't tell the storyteller's intentions, but I've not read the novel, so ... I guess its wait and see.

I just LOL'd at your eye-rolling comment. Good thing I finished my coffee already. Otherwise, it would have been very messy. Yes, my list of "on-hold" has gotten long since my strategy has been to stop and find a better show. So little time, so many shows...

I just started watching I will Knock You and I got to the part when Thi dances in front of the temple...........my secondhand embarrassment is so bad right now

Prepare yourself now, that scene comes back several times in flashbacks!

I feel this so deeply.  And then, not all the shorts list the name of the drama so I have to go through the comments to find someone who has asked and been answered to know what the heck I'm supposed to be looking for!  I spend more time researching new "add-ons" than watching the bloody shows themselves!

Still worth it... XD

i'm so scared of MBM pulling a TMS move?

like i was suffering through the second season of TMS so freaking much that i officially decided to delete it from my memories

oh nononono I cannot take it if they did that, every single episode of TMS2 was a torture, I do not emotional capacity to go through it again ;;
