After episode 7 I finally know why I can't connect with Not Me. I totally agree with the message conveyed but…
The conversations these folks are having are the same ones I have with my friends, my coworkers, my students. The antiwork movement is growing, unionization, fair wages, etc... all over the world. I attend protests against police brutality, in favor of equality for people of all sexes and genders, etc... all the time. Maybe it seems preachy to you because you are not used to being in spaces where people are having authentic conversations about these things, but believe me, they are happening. All over the world.
Now, if the issues is, you just don't like it, that's up to you. But the conversations are real. You may find them boring, but I don't. I'm living for this. And so are lots of others. Do you <3
This episode really gave justice to Gun's character, White... Those smartas* glasses he wore in earlier episodes…
For real! I have always been a little disappointed in GMMTV because they make so much money off of gay characters but rarely do they do anything to show support for the LGBTQ+ community (most of the actors are straight of course). I feel like they have a lot of missed opportunities to make up for, but this episode make me so happy. I have been to a lot of protests here in the US, from anti-death penalty rallies, vigils after terror attacks, the Women's March in DC, protests against the police who killed George Floyd, etc.. and this was a real one! I also read that the director invited real activists from the student protest movement, LGBTQ+ activists, etc... to be in the show, and you can tell b/c that protest was amazing!
Also, the scene when Sean arrives on his motorcycle and looks at White across the pride flag was iconic. So much love!
Alright, everyone can agree that Yok/Dan scenes were electric, but the one under the flag with Sean and White...…
When Sean pulled up to the protest on his motorcycle and then saw White and they looked at each other across the pride flag/fashion show, that moment was everything!
Ok, so, I'll be honest, the first 5 episodes of this show did not wow me. I saw the potential and was willing to keep watching, but those 5 episodes were mostly set up and not super exciting.
But eps 6 and 7! Potential realized! Everything about these last 2 episodes has been 🔥🔥🔥.
Also, GMMTV! Where did this last ep come from??? Pride flags, marriage equality, student protest, worker's rights??? I am in love! I need this in every GMMTV show from now on!
I can't get it over it! I never thought GMMTV would bring these current issues into one of their shows and do it in such an authentic and interesting way!
I'm enjoying this show a lot! Thorn and Fah are so captivating to watch, I love how they are so in love with each other. Aii and Saen are cute, I am ready to see Aii loosen up a little bit. Dome and Vee are playing a dangerous game and I have a feeling it's not going to end well for them, but I am enjoying watching them play with fire.
The music is good, the cinematography is excellent, the pace is a little slow, and the story is pretty middle of the road, but overall, this is the series I am looking forward to most each week right now (along with Not Me).
Good start, like the chemistry between Theo and Akk, although, I'm still a little mad about the whole writing in a library book thing! Honestly, who does that???
It's Pity Party time for Wayu again. After managing to make him tolerable for a few episodes they've put him back…
Yeah, he was like playing with an apple thinking about Thanu, while Pha is like rolling over on his side, contemplating his imminent death. Wayu is the worst.
I liked the 3rd episode. This show is not thrilling in the way that Bad Buddy was, but it is a solid series, like Paint with Love. All the cast are interesting and have good chemistry.
I am especially invested in Thorn and Fah. You can just see it in Thorn's eyes, every time he looks at Fah, how much he loves him. It's really moving. His whole life was changed by Fah and now, just like Fah helped him when he was young, he has stepped up to help Fah get back on track so they can reach the dream that they both held when they were younger.
I also like the side couples, Saen is sooo cute and I like that he is super into Aii, although I would like some more backstory on that one, like, why is Saen so into Aii? How does he even know him? Was it some kind of love at first sight thing?
I will say, as to the third couple, everytime they do something cute together, I am yelling at my screen, "Don't f*ck your sister's boyfriend!!!" So I am interested to see how that develops. Hopefully, there is some complicated emotional stuff that happens. If they are going to be cheaters, I hope they get held accountable for it. It reminds me of Oh, Mando! with Kokoy and Alex Diaz.
Overall, I am really enjoying this show, the cinematography and music are great! The acting is decent, nothing amazing so far, but, I will say, the actor playing Fah was in Y-Destiny and his acting then was *terrible*, so he has really improved since then to make it to just *mediocre* haha.
bestie who are you talking to 😠getting old man yelling at cloud vibes
I know it's hard to keep up with these comments because there are so many but:
1. There is a long-ish comment thread from about a day ago where 5 different people complain that the entire second half of the series is bad because instead of lots of drama, there are "cute moments" with kissing, etc... 2. I saw at least 5 people who couldn't bring themselves to type the word sex and instead wrote "seggs" while calling this series good because they avoided being "soft-core" 3. Soooo many people (less here and more on social media) have been freaking out about how "Ohm can't possibly be the bottom, look at him!"
There is a lot of sex-negativity out there. I'm calling it out. If you didn't notice, ok. Do you.
its normal and expected. Many ppl didnt rate the show until the final ep. and many ppl havent started watching…
I mean, in the original Romeo and Juliet, a 14 year old and a 17 year old kill themselves and like 8 other people die. If that's what people were hoping for, damn.
I'm super tired of seeing people complain about seeing two guys be romantic, touch each other, kiss, and show very minimal sexual content. Obviously, y'all who are complaining don't know any gay men in real life, cause *spoiler* they kiss, touch, and have sex, sometimes in front of other people! *gasp* If you are sex-negative, that's your problem. Just start all of your posts with "I don't like to see, hear, or know about sex or anyone else having it" and then we can just ignore you.
Also, shout out to Ace folks, this post is not about you. It's for people who have internalized sex negativity and want to project it on other people. If you are not interested in sex, that's totally cool. I am commenting about people's shame about sex and how they want to put that on others, not people who are not interested or or sex-repulsed.
Now, if the issues is, you just don't like it, that's up to you. But the conversations are real. You may find them boring, but I don't. I'm living for this. And so are lots of others. Do you <3
