I’ll give it a scroll. Thank you!

No idea. There’s always someone who judges for watching because of one specific actor. That face card SERVES though, so I’m sat. Locked in. Staring at that face card with no shame. 😂 Unabashedly. 😉

Thars real

Right?! What else could possibly be in the next 4 episodes? From the preview, they’ll spend at least a couple on the moving in and living together struggles. Maybe some unsupported fear in coming out to grandma because of what Toxic Mom said, even though grams has been hella supportive so far. Definitely more mom drama though. He didn’t actually put her in her place to my satisfaction. Gotta have that reconciliation between mom and son episode for sure, where she openly and authentically accepts his love. sigh

Absolutely! I enjoy having conversations here. 😊

Not even those pop-it fireworks. Sparks? About as much as my old lighter missing the flint. Butterflies? Extinct. Electric zingers? Maybe the production company forgot to pay the bill? Like I’ve been promised a 5-Star (Hell, even a 3-Star) accommodation but instead I’m left cold and stranded in the dark at an abandoned house with an old and empty Bic lighter and a candle I can’t light. And my ride won’t be back for 4 episodes. Tragic.

Seriously. Trying to rekindle my enthusiasm for this series is about as difficult as it is for these two to convey a night of passion. Unless they manage to do that in the next 4 episodes. I honestly don’t care anymore. I’ll come back to the comments next week before I bother to watch. There are better things I could be doing if this keeps the “momentum”. Like that root canal I’ve been putting off.

What in the insurance ad did I watch?

I’m here for Ro Woon and not even ashamed about it. 😉

At this point it’s either his agency or him. Common denominator. Honestly? I loved Love Syndrome III (I don’t know why. Seriously. I couldn’t tell you even if a gun was to my head. But I’ve rewatched that toxic story with characters whose flags are as green as Death Valley). But every series he’s in is a nope. Like, how can he be this unlucky? Maybe this is the extent of his talent? I don’t know. I haven’t seen him in a role that gives me goosebumps with his skills, you know? But I also haven’t seen everything he’s done.

Yup. 3 10-second skips long on average. I know because I keep skipping and they keep staring. 😂 Ong I feel like they forget their lines and have an earpiece where someone feeds it to them. Like the director told them that if they don’t know what to do, just stare longingly at the other person until you figure it out and the director would “work” with it.

And by a teaser for episode 5 I saw, they’re throwing a mid-accusation of rape in the mix between the MCs by the grudge-holding brother of Mild (bro was the one in the wrong and should let it go already-someone needs to slap him for me). 😮‍💨 I really do wonder what other clichés they’ll throw at us.

It’s like Thailand only has Engineering and Med programs at their universities. No one does anything else? Oh! I forgot Art. I’m trying to remember a Thai BL set in university that wasn’t one of these. Like, why is this their go-to? Because of SOTUS? Maybe it’s because they produce so many BLs, they can’t think of anything else?

I have a feeling I’ll be dropping this very soon. Oh well. At least there’s JimmySea and KengNamping to keep me with my foot in Thai BLs (hopefully I will add Revamp to this list).

I’ve only gotten to through Ep2. It seems from reels I’ve seen that it’s bromancey but platonically…kinda? In the way you’d expect from a straight drama not trying to show same sex romance, you know? I could be wrong. They’re awkward, but significantly less awkward than Stay By My Side After the Rain’s 8th episode, you know? And not the wrong kind of awkward.

OMG SO right!

The DISTANCE!

You’re more generous than I am- I dropped to a 7 from an 8.

The miss was like they didn’t even try to hit. Now the awkward caution they displayed up to now feels different. It doesn’t feel romantic at all. The overall message of the story is a valid one, but the tone has changed- at least for me.

Like used dishwater thrown over my head. I was definitely not expecting that. Why even bother giving an NC scene if this is what they give? It gives ultra conservative straight virgins forced to kiss. The awkwardness was painful in a bad way. The scene after the “deed” 1000% unbelievable.

What’s with the overwhelming awkwardness through the NC scene (if you can even call it that)? It felt like both actors (and the director) definitely did NOT want to convey any type of romantic passion that goes with a couple deeply in love (or even like). At the end of it, I thought they were just getting started, but they were… finished? The way I sighed at my phone. The right kind of tension that we had earlier in the series was definitely missing. Like this was the first scene they filmed together and wanted to get it over with.

Our guy Kosuke has a lot he’s been “holding back.” Shouldn’t they be a little sweaty and breathing heavy? The bedding isn’t even rumpled. 😂So much for a wild Kosuke we were made to believe existed. I wasn’t really expecting My Personal Weatherman, but even the very clean JBLs have more passion and less awkwardness from the MLs. I’m thinking about Mr. Lucky Has No Choice But To Kiss and Takara-kun & Amagi-kun.

I don’t know how I feel about this after Ep8. The romance is like watching two straight guys who just met and are also virgins being directed by an equally straight, conservative virgin male. While it’s beautiful that they are opening up to each other and growing as a couple (slowly), the tension comes across as awkwardness- not the good kind. Maybe they fix it in the 4 episodes remaining? sigh. I know some of y’all get me.

Small favors. 😊

Thanks for this. It doesn’t currently show up in the upcoming dramas lists for iQIYI or GagaOOLala. Hopefully soon!
