I really, really didn't like the moment when Toh agreed to be the doctor's boyfriend only because he lost hope of being with Jimmy after overhearing Jimmy's conversation with his friends. After all, he felt cheated on by someone he loved, and he did the same to someone else. Very ugly, phew.
Yes, of course, but since the last three episodes, it's all revolved around North and Ohm, and the couple I'm most interested in has been completely pushed into the background. Besides, while some might find North's naivety appealing, it just annoys me. In my opinion, Ohm is a loner/solo actor, and I never liked him in any of his previous ships, and this time he doesn't suit North either, in my personal opinion! ...I'm happy for you if you like the series
After the first episode, I was thrilled because I thought Junior and Mark were a brilliant and incredibly beautiful couple. My enthusiasm quickly faded, however, when the series shifted to a second couple that didn't interest me at all. Pond continues to play the naive little boy, no matter which partner he's working with. I don't like this dynamic – the small, naive Poon and the tall, strong, cunning Ohm. Furthermore, the love story has devolved into a cheesy comedy, which really disappointed me. I expected more… a better story, better acting, and above all, I wanted to see Junior and Mark as the main couple. Meh !
Pond and Peterpan, on the other hand, are a perfect match. They are both incredibly attractive and hot, and I would love to see them as a BL couple/ship.
I wonder what happened to this series in the second season? Is it still a BL, or more of an instructional guide on how to become a good visagiusta and how the rules of work and promotion work in this industry? Did the cosmetics industry pay for this series and treat it as an advertisement for recruiting new employees or a training program? It's become boring and devoid of any emotion. I also don't know why they included this boy in the series? Is he supposed to play some kind of rival, because I don't understand his role. Overall, they just ruined everything. It's so sad because I liked this couple and their romance.
Wait a minute... Toh is Teh's older brother, and Teh is Plaifah's boyfriend. Jimmy, on the other hand, was Toh's lover, is Teh's friend, and the guy Plaifah wanted. Teh and Plaifah devote all their time to babysitting Toh and intensely concern themselves with his emotional life, as if they didn't have their own. There's something I don't understand: Why is Plaifah so keen on Toh permanently breaking up with Jimmy, and why is Teh so keen on Toh staying with Jimmy? Could it be that Teh and Plaifah really have nothing to say to each other, and Plaifah is so invested in this to finally get to Jimmy and make sure Tod doesn't come back to him? And Teh keeps Jimmy away from Plaifah in this way, knowing that Plaifah won't get Jimmy? I can't explain it any other way but this. I would also add that I don't understand Jimmy; why would such a fun-loving guy want to be in a relationship with the most boring and helpless guy on earth like Toh? This show is kind of pointless and, as a result, boring as hell.
This entire plot could have been squeezed into three episodes because we're just going in circles.
Every episode is like this, except maybe the scenery changes, but that's not a problem.
Wataru doesn't know what he wants because he's not consistent in his decision, and everything revolves around the issue of "being just best friends or being something more." It bores me, just like that passionless kiss. That kiss had as much energy and emotion as the entire series, which is to say, none.
I don't understand why Jimmy mourns Toh? This guy, despite being significantly older than Jimmy, is emotionally immature, is mothered by his younger brother and his boyfriend, and is also incredibly boring and characterless. Being around someone like that seems exhausting and draining. On the other hand, I don't understand why Toh mourns Jimmy when he caused him so much pain and simply deceived him.
I don't understand this show, and the entire psychological construct of the characters is illogical in my eyes. Besides, I feel like Pleif and Teh's relationship isn't sincere, because I feel like Pfei is protecting Toh and pulling him away from Jimmy , wanting to punish Jimmy for being with someone else and not fighting for him. Maybe I'm wrong...
I'd like to emphasize that this comment is only my personal opinion... I must admit that I'm extremely disappointed with episode 2. I'm not interested in the story of North and Yu at all, and unfortunately, it took up 80% of the episode. I don't like this type of acting, even though I know this series is a comedy. I don't like these two actors as a couple because I think they're completely incompatible. I was fascinated by Pai and Tim... The beginning, meaning episode 1, was very promising, so I expected a steamy comedy romance (I don't mean the NC scenes) with a lot of romance and everything that goes with it. The actors are so beautiful, they complement each other so well, the producers of this series should simply use it better. I'm waiting for episode 3 but if it has the same feeling as episode 2, I'll leave this series disappointed.
This series has more or less the same quality as "Bad Guy my Boss", i.e. none..... First of all, the concept of a younger brother taking care of his immature older brother like a child is strange, to say the least...
Secondly, I wouldn't want a guy who lets himself be pushed around and has no self-respect. Jimmy has tested it several times that he can do whatever he wants, and PThoe, like a good dog, will still come back to him and apologize...
This show is strange and a bit annoying... Besides, I was surprised to see James and Kad back together; I thought that ship had died after the last series.
I've only seen the first episode, and it's hard to say what awaits me yet. However, my first impression is very positive about Pai and Tim, but less so about Yo and North. I was happy to finally get a grown-up BL story told by adult actors. They're both very beautiful and perfectly suited to each other, and their relationship is mature and has a future. As for North and Yu, I'm saturated with comedic and "school" dramas, so I felt a bit bored. I don't really like this type of acting, and in my opinion, this couple doesn't fit together at all. But as I wrote above, this is just the beginning...
I just finished watching it, so I'm commenting live. LOL As a fan of Chinese cinema in general (not just BL), I was delighted with the precision, graphics, and atmosphere of this series. The main cast is excellent, and you feel like they're very close. For Chinese cinema, it's a very bold series, with a very bold theme, and it's really well-executed. Enigma's smoking hands are my number one element!!!! I've never been interested in stories like Alpha, Omega, Bata, and Enigma, and I had to immerse myself in this atmosphere, and the way it was filmed and staged really resonated with me. However, the pregnant guy and his morning sickness just made me laugh....sorry, I'm not in any way a prude or homophobe or anything like that, but I couldn't shut off my reality and completely surrender to my fantasy...it was just a side note. I'm a huge fan of Elliot and Kipuka and I hope we'll see them together in future series, as successful as this one!
If this were any other Chinese couple from the BL series, I would think that maybe they were advertising some jewelry or something, but since THIS IS THE COUPLE that is the first Chinese BL ship, I think that this post has more meaning than some people think and try to take away its meaning.
I've been a BL fan for years and I realize that China is not Thailand and homosexual relationships are practically unacceptable, but I still don't think this post was made for money. That's all.
This series is definitely not an Oscar-winning masterpiece, but since it's not an academic or school-uniform-wearing series, I simply enjoy watching it. I like the actors, especially the younger one, who is sweet and likeable... they're generally a great match, and their delicate chemistry captivates me. You don't have to force everything on your partner by persistently questioning them; you can give them time to make their own decisions about what's going on at work... I like how they give each other space, time, and support.
Besides, everything is so beautiful and fragrant, the actors are so handsome, the cosmetics are beautifully designed, and the whole skincare storyline is something else entirely, and I'm just waiting for the plot to develop further.
PS. I won't be surprised at all if, at the end of the series, it turns out that Mrs. Emma Lauren is Tom's mother. LOL
I have to admit that both men are very handsome, especially Watarau. He's just so sweet, but... well, yes, but... The series started out great, sweet and likable, but in the second episode it seemed to lose its edge and seemed momentarily boring to me. It's not that there weren't any romantic scenes or anything, but that the photo ops and dialogue were too long. I don't know, I'm a bit disappointed with the second episode because it simply bored me.
I don't know, but after the third episode, I just gave up. I found it boring (perhaps because I watched the original Japanese version), and maybe because I don't think the main couple was the best match, or maybe because this series isn't my cup of tea... I don't know. In short, the series simply bored me.
Okay, to sum up the series as a whole, I have to say I liked it. After the first two episodes, I was skeptical, but as the story progressed, I began to change my attitude and overall opinion. What I liked most was that Pond, in my opinion, really showed off a slightly different side of himself as an actor, one that really suits him. He was truly excellent, and he built the comic element of the character very pleasantly. It was something completely different, a different story from him, and Pond showed us that he can really develop as an actor. Bravo!
As for Phuwin, I admit he's getting more and more handsome, but his acting, at least in terms of BL, seems to have stagnated or even taken a few steps back. The character he played was likeable, but he didn't have any special characteristics and was no different from the character PH played in We Are. I think PP has become a "light" BL couple who could just as easily have created a bromance, because in my eyes, they're constantly on the border between BL and bromance. That's fine! Maybe it would even be better, because their NC scenes aren't NC, and the awkward kisses are always hidden by elbows, shoulders, etc., so they could be completely omitted, and based on their chemistry, it would still be interesting. The cherry on the cake, in my opinion, was WilliamEst's performance. This couple has such strong chemistry that they don't need much interaction, and the electricity between them sparks automatically. This also applies to the SantaPerth couple. Both couples added the missing spices in this series—a little chili, a little pepper, which resulted in a very tasty and spicy dish.
...I'm happy for you if you like the series
