Not a Robot

I read it too, so I stopped at Ep 8 so I could just ride the rollercoaster one loop around. Catching up for the finale.

Thank you for the update.

After what happened between Fifth and Zeke, I didn't even start this one. I'm not into GL so that is not an influence. From reading the comments, I guess that I made the correct decision.

I'm do not understand why people are against this couple. The actors are only 4 years apart, and I'm assuming their characters have about the same age gap. Sea is a sophomore in college making him about 20. The legal drinking age in Taiwan is 18, so if he can legally drink, I'm not understanding why he cannot choose to date another person in his 20's. In recent years people have lost the ability to reason and think critically. They are so binary in their thinking - it's good or bad. If Sea can drink, join the military and get married, he can love who he wants to love.

I really like this series so far. Something about the accident has messed up Neil's ability to perform in front of a large crowd again, and it seems that Sea will help him heal. The aspect of Neil sorting out his mental health, in contrast to the music business being a business with his contract ending, makes me root for him. Since Sea's past is kind of in the dark right now, I'm interested in seeing these two guys work together.

As we started this series by Xiaobao forcing his love on Huaien, and not letting go, the circle will complete next episode.

I love slice of life manga so I went into this biased, but I really loved the conversation between Ishida and Shige.

In my opinion, if you can handle a male and female age gap in mainstream film, I think you can handle this. But if it makes you uncomfortable, no need to put yourself through watching it. Personally, I like this show, and as you see there is no flirting, so Ishida is even confused.

I've read the manga and they are doing a great job with this series. If they continue to follow the manga, it will be fine, but for our oyaji lovers out there, sorry, but it is also very tame. I'm not going to spoil the plot, but I found the manga very sweet.

They put clothes out to dry and it usually holds the AC motor,

Lol that you had to bring the receipts because people want to justify what Judy and Bamee did, and blame the person who was betrayed. I give you respect.

Sorry. I didn't realize how old this post is. Disregard.

I think because Ryan and Jane isn't as messy. Ryan doesn't have a boyfriend at the company to bring drama to the workplace. I kind of frown upon direct supervisor and intern relationships due to the power imbalance, but Ryan isn't cheating or testing his sexuality out on Pah, so it's less messy. I'm actually enjoying Off playing Jane. Off has such an open face and demeanor, so it is refreshing to he him play a character who is not a popular ladies man.

I did like The Eighth Sense, Love for Love's Sake and Jazz for Two, but have never watched Gray Shelter and Breeze of Love. My biggest complaint is the poor acting in almost every series, despite big budgets, which means they can afford to hire good actors and acting coaches. I meant more of a connection as far as intimacy. Some of the actors have revulsion on their faces when having to hold hands or hug. In Cherry Magic, Kurosawa and Adachi do not kiss (rather have that than Ken doll or camera angle kisses) but due to acting skill, I could believe they were in love, and showed real intimacy between the characters. I am going to watch the two series you recommended. Sorry that I did't explain myself clearly but I understand where you're coming from.

I enjoyed this series immensely. All of the couples had great chemistry. My favorite was the first time between Almond and Latte. The strawberry underwear just topped off that whole scenario.

It's a slow burn, but I really like it. The dream aspect is very interesting. The MC hasn't figured out that he has feelings for the ML and we are on episode 4. I would be confused too about someone I have known since childhood and had a girlfriend.

It's because some viewers have no critical thinking skills, and are also powerless against the government. So being midwits, they take it out on the victims.

I partly agree with you, but I dislike most Korean BL despite the high budgets. Before the ban, China produced the best BL content. Not all had good cinematography and they were low budget, but the actors went with the emotion of the characters, which showed in their intimate (not just sex) scenes. Even in 2024, Korea and Japan have the worst intimacy with disgusted looks, dead fish kisses, or fake camera shot kisses. Old Chinese BL did not shy away from lovers being in love and that was 10 years ago. I hate to think of where they would be today, had the ban not taken place because it makes me sad.

I finally watched all four episodes and I'm not sure where the complaints are coming from. Hetero Chinese dramas are way worse than this one, as far as violence, sexuality and bad moral behavior.
