But they’re supposed to be soulmates. Their chemistry should be more natural and a bit more sensual, kind of like how they were when they were scenting each other the next morning. THAT scene made way more sense.

Just because it’s in the book doesn’t mean they have to follow exactly. I feel like they should have fought for a better placement to info dump to the audience.

It’s an Nc scene in a way. I think it’s meant to be, but they added this awkwardly done and badly directed and edited out of control scene (like, why speed this up?). Not sensual in any way. It was ok until they started weirdly thrashing about like that. It was honestly just painful to watch.

The way I kept pausing and tipping my phone over in “what-the-fu*kery”…Disbelief. Cringe. Today’s episode lasted WAY too long.

Side thought- why did Alpha introduce him to his bodyguard AFTER he’d already spent an afternoon hovering and explaining he was there to protect him? You’d think the introductions would happen BEFORE they even left the residence… Like “hey, I’m worried something will happen to you because I’m mad possessive since we’re bonded, so here is Ai your bodyguard. He’ll be going with you literally everywhere when you leave the house and no, you can’t get rid of him.” Then we cut to him at the cafe. Easy. I kept thinking, is this how it’s actually written?

Ah yes…because cold rain and “dry” mud (how tf does that work?) will get anybody into a hormonal overloaded sex daze. “Construction site after a light drizzle”- I’m dead

It’s funny because most people who watch omegaverse already know how it works. Maybe I’m wrong. But most of us don’t need to be spoon fed plot info about background history like this. For those that do, they could have done a narration at the beginning of episode 1 or done short flashbacks to him remembering ABO Health 101 class and shit like that. would be much more entertaining that assuming he’s just that oblivious living in a city surrounded by information and various kinds of people. The question should be, how tf would he NOT know about ABO?

“Nathan” 🤭(The subtitles are atrocious. Like, how?!)
The toy and slick was…I had to pause to process and laugh because wtaf 😆

OMG Yes! 😂

😂

Like, it’s even a bigger stretch that he grew up in a world with ABO and doesn’t know ANYTHING about them?! And he’s not even living in a small town somewheee away from modern life. That part doesn’t sit well. Most omegaverse stories don’t have clueless characters to this extent. At least, none that I’ve read. They at least KNOW about the existence of ABO… How does a guy reach his 20s and not know ANYTHING? ok…I’ll pretend this HUGE flaw doesn’t exist because I want the reverse relationship build story. They could have info-dumped at the beginning with an overview narration instead. That makes more sense. Or flashbacks to his time in school learning about all this (like an ABO health class or something).

Well, yes… I’m very well aware that the sub-genres are different. Obviously.

Yet I’m still gonna compare them because I’m focusing on the actors and how I felt while watching the NC scene.

I also compare this to ABO Desire (in my original comment to the series, I compare the two, which I won’t rehash here for the sake of avoiding redundancy), which DOES have the same subgenre yet still manages to avoid the heavy duty cringe NC scenes.

Ok, so I finally was able to watch episode 1 and I think I’m gonna like this. It’s super cute. And Kimisawa Yuki is gorgeous. Sakai Sho is perfect for the role. I realized I’ve seen him in his other BL series as a support role. It’ll be good to see him as the ml. They match in looks, I think, which makes the viewing more pleasant (imo). So far I only felt cringe in the grouper scene (though why he can’t just move himself- I thought the “help” would be more direct for some reason.

Looking forward to episode 2.

I’m hoping it gets a bit better. Messy is definitely a good word to describe it 😊 But if they’re soulmates, there should be at least SOME chemistry showing through the desperation and animal instinct that is the hear/rut. That was completely missing this episode. Too bad because they missed an opportunity here. Oh well.

That was me, too 😊

Episode 2…Fam… I ffwd through that NC scene because I can’t. The second-hand embarrassment was REAL. The NC scenes in My Stubborn were 10x better than whatever this was- and then they had the nerve to speed it up?! I’m dead. The way they did the uncontrollable urges and sensuality in ABO Desire was more in line with how my imagination views Omegaverse heat/rut. Thailand just goes silly with things a little too often for my taste (except Don’t Be Too Emorional- that series is peak for me so far). I wonder what China would do with this script…

But I’m actually looking forward to the story BEHIND the cringe NC. Like, how they navigate a relationship in reverse order. I’ll just have to ffwd through the second-hand embarrassment parts. Watching the scenes shown during ending credits gives me SOME small hope for an interesting story. But I know my expectations for this have been appropriately adjusted after this episode. I’ll enjoy the series more this way. Somewhere between Pit Babe and My Stubborn. ✔️👍🏽

I can say I applaud this couple for being willing to do these scenes, let alone act them out this way. I’m already imagining Boat hiding while watching this scene later. 🤭 Poor guy. Mwanwhile, Oat will likely have a big smile on his face and laugh about it. Peobably not too much embarrassment on his part. 😏

There’s a special episode that may make it a little less abrupt for some. But I agree that these fluffy sweet JBLs end pretty abruptly quite a bit. Always leaves me feeling some kind of way…

I discontinued my subscription after the 10th or so ad in 20 minutes. I was so done after I saw how much I was paying a month. Absolutely not. Disney is tripping. I saw that they want $20/mo for no ads and I barely go to the site. There aren’t enough dramas on there that I want to watch to pay that much for no ads. To me, the $13/mo was really too much already, since I only go there every few months or so for Disney+ only shows.

I agree. I’m looking forward to how this plays out. And I may need to just read the novel to help sustain me.

Literally every few seconds… 😅
