Not a Robot

I understand being annoyed with Type, I was too, and I'm not crazy about all the punching that seems to be in Asian dramas (hetero dramas as well). What I like about this drama, is that both of the leads have flaws and admit them. Tharn admits this to his seniors and Type admits this to his friend. I like that this drama had a character who is experiencing internalized homophobia. A lot of BLs are "gay for you" but according to the author, Type is gay, not bisexual or straight, and seeing him struggle with his internalized homophobia and trying to overcome it is something that I enjoyed watching.

The performances are really good. I watched the Superboy Project competition and they have worked hard to improve. I'm thinking that there will be more opportunities for the cast in the future.

Thank you

For people who ordered the special episode: Do you only get to watch it once? Can I order it now, then watch it in a week? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info. I had a feeling that Fighter wanted to make Tutor happy, now that scene seems even sweeter.

I didn't watch GMA because I don't like body swap (except for History 1), and I haven't read the WRU book, but my take is that Fighter is one of those people who teases the person he likes. He may not realize it yet, but I think that he likes Tutor, so he teases him. This is why he doesn't pay any attention to Hwa during her birthday party, but makes sure that Tutor takes out the cake. He has no clue what to get Hwa for her birthday, but knows that taking out the cake will make Tutor happy. It's only episode 2 and I may be wrong, but that's my opinion right now.

What types of stories do you like? This has a very heavy first episode.

I noticed the hair too, but better than Sin's wig!

I like this show and think the acting is great, but in my opinion, if people don't like it, it doesn't mean they should watch porn. This series is about the slow build of a relationship since Dean and Parm have to spend time discovering that they have been reborn with memories, rather than having dreams and visions. Dean and Parm will eventually get there, so should people drop the series and that point and go watch porn? When (hopefully) Team and Win get a series, it will be sexually hotter, should it be dropped? I mean if they will publicly kiss under broccoli, when they are not an announced couple, what else could they be doing? I understand it is frustrating to ready negative comments about a series, but a lot of us love UWMA too. Maybe we can encourage them to watch and continue to point out the wonderful parts of the series.

I like both shows and both have heartwarming scenes, but you have to kind of believe in reincarnation to accept UWMA. It's difficult to compare a series with supernatural elements to a non-supernatural show. If this series did not have the Korn x In backstory, there wouldn't be the emotional scenes. Also, Mew is a PhD candidate, so he IS a university student, but yes, it's difficult to see him as a 19 year old and even Mew has said this in interviews, which is why he was going to try out for San. However the acting won me over and he will be perfect for 7 years later.

I might be the only one, but I like this show. I think that Bas has grown as an actor because with Toey, he has been a douche, spoiled, funny, caring and sneaky. People wrote they hate Toey and that's his acting skills because Bas seems like a playful and nice person who works hard to take care of his mom and sister. Tae is also doing a good job, especially in episode 10. I'll keep supporting this show, even if there isn't any BL.

Type is experiencing internalized homophobia, which is a form of oppression. He will always be short tempered, but he won't always hate himself after loving Tharn.

It's very confusing because Dean was raised by his father's mother until she passed away, so when they all reference "grandmother," it's easy to confuse which grandmother they are talking about. Intouch and his niece Alin had a close relationship, that's why Pharm reacted so strongly to adult Alin's photo in the hallway when he went to wake Dean up in the previous episode. This story is like puzzle pieces.

In the book, In's sister is 10 years older than him and she had Alin young. He was 19 when he died, so his sister would be 29, Alin is 7. Dean is about the same age as Korn when he died and the grandmother is 60. This series has too many anachronisms, starting with the hair and clothing, so it's confusing. I'm not going to spoil the story, but hope this helps .

I don't think that you're delusional. I don't understand why people are so determined to prove that some BL actors (Off/Gun, Joong/Nine, etc) are real couples. The actors play along because they get booked for events by being in character, but they are still in character. I'm not sure why the actors are not saying they are just friends. They don't have to out the girlfriend, but at least maybe the fans won't fight about it. Mario Maurer has/had (not sure) a girlfriend and that hasn't impacted his popularity. In hindsight, Godt's team not wanting him to do fan service may have been one of the best things that happened to Bas. I see that he does solo events and is able to do projects without a pair.

Sounds like you're having a great time! I also admire your bravery for taking a motorbike taxi. Thanks for sharing.

The people are getting a treat! I love New Year too!

I didn't know who he was, but since his face was everywhere, I asked somebody who he is. I rode the Skytrain a lot while I was in Bangkok, and he was featured in many advertisements for different types of products.

I know that you were just asking in general. There are a lot of gorgeous people in Thailand, and mant of them are really nice too.

I loved Chiang Mai, but I didn't do the expat cafe scene. I took a sunrise tour of one of the temples and the guide was a former monk. I also took a food tour and the guide pointed out how northern Thai dishes differ from central Thai. I only stayed in Chiang Mai for 3 days, but I'm definitely going back. I want to go further north next time. I travel solo, so I stick to tours, but you and your husband may be able to do things on your own.
