Despite issues with the subtitles, this is a super cute drama. Don't expect it to be realistic or make a lot of sense -- it's more in the vein of YYY (but not quite as absurd). It's a highly stylised series, both in terms of visuals, storyline and acting, but it's very fluffy and has some heartwarming themes of coping with traumatic mental blocks and friendship and healing (and some very homoromantic subtext). I like the goofiness and heart of the series.
I really adore Gene, and Up plays him wonderfully. He's a grumpy introvert who doesn't do well with lots of people…
I guess he's not a typical BL protagonist? I love seeing someone like him, grown up but a little but messed up, a bit clueless, not very confident, used to mainly his own company and his fantasy worlds, but totally adorkable without having the least idea about it himself. He's probably at least demi-ace, since he hasn't figured out his sexuality by this point. He has a little bit of the same adorkability that Adachi in Cherry Magic has, but Gene is more tsundere. I mean, what's not to love? XD
i have sooo many thoughts and no one to rant to so I'm going to let them out here,, this might be a bit messy…
I really adore Gene, and Up plays him wonderfully. He's a grumpy introvert who doesn't do well with lots of people and strangers, and a very private person, and he is being very challenged! He's also confused about his own feelings and (possibly) sexuality. Totally relatable for me.
I loved some of the previous instalments in the HIStory series, but I'm not sure I'll continue watching this. The characters are either super bland or unlikeable, the plot seems super clichéd, and the whole thing just feels stupid. Oh, and there's that very problematic thing that gave me the absolute willies.
The production looks good, but it has no charm. I've watched really low-budget, amateurish BL productions that were still enjoyable because they had charm and it was obvious that everyone involved were trying their hardest. This drama, though? I don't care about any of these characters. I don't know what they are trying to do here, but it doesn't look like my kind of thing at all.
Don't trust my say-so, though -- it's free on Viki, so you should watch it and form your own opinion.
We will just continue from EP5, I am kinda guessing they will need another week for 4Eps of subs. In that time…
Yes, and I finally got them to work when I opened the links in the TOR browser. For some reason they didn't work for me in Chrome. Thanks for your help!
I just watched it in Chrome with the Earth VPN browser extension. It's in the Chrome web store, just add it to Chrome, activate it with either Thailand or the Philippines selected, and go to the WeTV page. It may take a little while to load, so don't give up if your browser gives you an error at first.
