Totally agree with you. This is BL in the oldest and purest form, bl started out for the fujoshis and for the…
You sound like a crazy person in this comment. It's OK to have fetishes, it's OK to consume media you're not sure why you are attracted to. Just enjoy it and relax. You're not hurting anyone.
I’m really not a fan of shows using these pushy girls as reasons for two guys to start liking each other. It’s…
All the tropes you shit your pants over are BL BASICS and always have been. Either stop watching BLs or quit bitching about the very characteristics that make them BLs in the first place and pretending they are "problematic" to you. You love them, they turn you on and you are uncomfortable with your feelings so you come here to atone for your imagined sins by playing Puritan Church Lady in the comments.
This has got to be one of the most satisfying and clean finales for me out of all the BL series I've watched.…
I found the coda/ending about the apartment to be kind of odd...I'd be pissed too if my partner put us that far in debt for a home without me knowing about it or seeing it. MR is absolutely right about the rest of their lifestyle taking a hit because of huge freaking mortgage. And the very end, where MR conceded and they just kind of wandered out the door and that was the end was...odd.
lol, I see the sJWs are out in force today, trashing this series in the reviews, which I'll read later for comic relief. What ugly people, to be completely unable to feel the joy and love in this series because of their prudery and social/political hangups, especially this last episode.
Some of the most elegant, beautiful lovemaking scenes in BL history and better than lots of straight films. Full commitment to the characters, the scene, the choreography of it all, the cinematography. You know a sex-scene has done its work when you feel happy/joyful/weepy/horny all at the same time.
Times I cried (though it might be easier to list the times I wasn't crying) during episode 6:
MR/LC's extended, beautifully-shot lovemaking. YJ/Dad cooking together in the kitchen. XS/YJ and their parents having dinner and Dad toasting the couple. XS/YJ in the library, making out under the stairs. LC singing the song to MR. XS/YJ making love on the couch. The wedding vows.
Peng gave such wonderful layers to the character of XS that he may have ended up being my favorite in the series. Smart, sweet, shy, utterly sincere, honorable, loving, caring, very sexual right under that coy demeanor.
Sad that it's over but I'll def be back for a few re-watches over the years. Thanks to all who made H4CTY such a joy.
It's funny how differently people experience the same show. To me there is NO chemistry between Phuwin and Pond.…
I guess so...I suppose it's held my interest because it's gone from good to really good to bad so I'm curious what's coming. I've dropped plenty of BLs, most recently My Lovely Writer and a historical one that bored me. Also tried to watch the non-BL K-drama from a couple of years ago, "Life," but dropped it after six episodes. I got bored with that one too, despite the presence of my fave Korean actor, Long Dong Wook or something like that.
The setup for the crying in the rain scene was poor. It implication seemed to be that Pi's mother doesn't accept…
She sat there like a stone-cold bitch and glared at him, asking questions rapid-fire in the disappointed Asian mother tone, and she was holding the large paperback book to make it clear when he walked in that she had seen the photo of Nan and knew its implications. Given all that, she did NOTHING to set him at ease about being honest with her without fear of rejection or loss of love, she made it all about HER and accused Pi of not being as nice and polite as he used to be. Not because the change in behavior could be a signal that her son was stressed out and in pain, but because it hurt her feelings and rocked the boat of her calm, easy household. Yeah, I kind of hate the mom. She managed to guilt-trip Pi in a hundred ways without saying a whole lot of anything. I had that done to me growing up a thousand times.
Again, sitting there with that magazine/book on her lap and waiting for him so he would see her and it when he walked in was a direct challenge and attack. She should have put the book and the picture back where she found them while she was snooping and kept her mouth shut, or she should have let Pi know that he was loved and treasured and accepted NO MATTER WHAT.
I thought episode 6 was probably the worst to this point.Of course Pi has changed a bit...his mother is a bitch…
I too would like a Mork-type stalker. Ugh, disagree about Mom: She sat there with that awful, accusing/disappointed/sour Asian Mom face which she aimed like a laser beam when he came in the door. Don't buy for a second she was afraid the book was "going to fall." It was up under the top bunk, how did she see it in the first place? And if it DID fall...why would it matter? why would you worry about a paperback book falling onto a bed...afraid of it being damaged? And ALSO if it really was in danger of falling and that was her concern, she could have tucked it better into place. If she saw the photo while doing that, she should have put it back whre it had been and pretended she saw nothing. Please. She was snooping.
I can't wait until she finds out BOTH of, or two of, her sons are gay. I hope she has the worst Asian Mom Stroke ever and checks out.
I feel the chemistry from Mork, but not Pi. And I also don't see why Mork would like a rude and whiney little…
Not to worry...I do NOT have Mork on a pedestal. No one is perfect. and without a different explanation, he appears to be stalking Pi 24/7. But Pi's character is written as such an unlikable person that anyone put up against him would seem pretty perfect by comparison.

Is any film adaptation EVER as good as the novel from which its made? I don't think I've ever seen a film made from a novel I've read that didn't disappoint to some degree. I enjoy both much more when I see the film, THEN read the novel.
I don't "hate" the character of Pi, I just find him irritating and not anywhere near Mork's level of awesomeness. :D Which could actually be a cute plot-point, that dork/stud dichotomy, but it's not working for me here.

I'd sort of agree with that, in that I see Pond TRYING but he can't do it by himself and I just don't think Phuwin had the acting chops. He's in over his head. Mork's combo of looks, charisma and kindness would pretty much be irresistible to pretty much everyone, this is true. :D

I laughed my ass off the first two episodes and then again with the over-the-top, bat-shit crazy Sikh thing, but the humor's been flat to me the last couple of eps.
The last hour of this made up for any earlier shortcomings (this regards the Pete/Kao BL Cut). New and Tay let out all the stops and the chemistry and cuteness got me all gooey. Fun. Enjoyed the beginning of SunMork too...even though Mork sure did a quick 180 from dick to sweet.
And you're welcome for the diagnosis.
