Not a Robot

In a BTS video, Gun explains that it is a rare blood type. It was cute because Boat was impressed that Gun knew about this. After watching this, I found out there is an Rh Null blood type that is so rare that it is called golden blood. Sun also shares this blood type with Sky, that's why he has to bank his blood for Sky.

I also loved Big Eden because one of the leads is a native person and indigenous people are rarely represented in LGBT media. The older generations did not think they were prejudiced because of having the one co-worker, etc. Even with all of the obnoxious product placements, I like this series because it shows a rural lifestyle with gay people in it. I'm just glad that an Ode to Billy Joe ending is no longer required for gay people living in rural areas.

Me too. One of my favorite love stories.

The write yourself a poem pick-up strategy was one of the lamest I've ever seen.

I like when stories of gay life in rural areas are like this. I loved Big Eden and ever since then, I hope that communities could be like that. Shiba and Koji, Japanese husbands who post on YouTube moved to the country and now they have a baby boy. Hopefully things will change by the time the baby goes to school.

The actor was in a major car accident in real life and the scars are real.

I wish they had cut out the ex flash backs and inserted the guys having a meal with Shi Lei's mother, or the office having a party with all of the employees, after decided to become a couple. That last episode spent too much time JYZ running around town. That talent was wasted on a weak climax and resolution.

I understand what you mean that an actor can modulate their voice to fit the role. That's why Elizabeth Holmes from Theranos spoke in an fake deep voice. I guess that I've known soft spoken men like Sun who can scrap. Even short and skinny people. I always say that you should fear small bullies more than large bullies because the small bully can really fight. I grew up with rough boys who turned into rough men (as in prison) and they are from gentle and soft spoken to loud and arrogant. What I misunderstood about your statement was is that you were addressing his voice in reference to acting in this role, not in reference to toughness in real life.

I like this show, but I think that you provided a well thought opinion. I don't think this was your intent, but equating Boat's voice with "toughness" is a stereotypical assessment of masculinity. Having a high voice has been a source of bullying for males and assumptions of a person's sexuality. I love that Boat is a soft-spoken and polite young man. In my opinion, he must be pretty tough if he can still pursue these types of acting roles, knowing that he doesn't have the deep voice that is "expected" of a man who is good at fighting. Just my thoughts.

Not the person you "@" but throwing in my movie picks. None are as good as the manga though.

Series - Kinou Nani Tabeta. Not at BL but a slice of life series about a gay couple and food.

I deleted the comment because I didn't want to be so sappy, but there are people who love and support you. I watch Shiba and Koji on YouTube and get so happy when they are so affectionate toward their son. Asian dads being openly affectionate is another barrier that is slowing coming down.

I was mad at first, but after I thought about it, Best confessed and Dew responded. I'm a mother and I was so upset that another mother would hurt her child so badly out of her own homophobia. I would have told Fern to mind her own business.

That was written in the 1600's and over 400 years later, it still is true about Fern.

My conspiracy theory is they posted it because so many people were mad. They still wasted almost 3 episodes on nothing.

While I acknowledge that the main couple are only together in about 3 minutes of each episode, and I'm in the minority, but I like the scenes between oyaji Nut and Satha so much that I'm willing to fast forward through useless scenes, such as the teachers scene. Nut sees Satha in the same category as his ex Ball, so he doesn't want to even be friends. I wonder how Satha will get him to change his mind. I enjoy watching the girls because their friendships and how they interact. Brings back memories.

I agree!

I watched it on Netflix. It is a documentary, and one issue is aging in the LGBT community which is often not talked about.

It's sad when parents react like Dew's mother. I would think that it's "normal" for a parent to want their child to be happy. Very sad.

Too bad. I think they have the material for another season, especially now since Dew has reciprocated Best's feelings.

I understand your point, which is true too. I wanted to encourage OP because I took OP's comment literally since there are places in the world where homosexuality is a criminal act, and in others while not illegal, it is socially unacceptable. Some people are terrified of losing their family and community, so they will marry the opposite sex, but others find a way. I watched A Secret Love about a lesbian couple from Canada who got together when being gay was heavily sanctioned. They were not out to their families, but had a 70 year relationship and loving friends. It wasn't perfect, but at least they were able to build a life together.

Not being sarcastic, but I'm sad that you live in a place where gay tragedy is normal. However, even in extremely homophobic places, gay people can be together. Many couples say, they may have to be "best friends" until they graduate university and are financially stable, but they still make it work.
