I haven't started this because I have doubts. Is this more suited for teens? I want to support New, but a fandom comedy seems like the series is geared toward teens rather than adults. Thanks in advance.
Is this series worth watching? I just started My Day [I'm on episode 5 now] with the intention of watching this…
I agree. They should have just made a brand new series, with Miko playing a dude named Joe, or anything else. They could keep the name My Story and viewers can have our Sky and Ace love story.
Zeke and Fifth's story is really good. They have dumb fights, but who didn't at this age. They talk about their conflicts and are open with their feelings. Sky and Win are almost comedic in the dumb plot lines, like Sky getting locked in a bathroom all night. Make sure you fast forward through the Ms. Becky storyline too. It sucks. Just my opinion.
Not off to a great start. Everything that was supposed to be mysterious was more hokey to me. The barista with the skeleton key necklace and her strong arming Thana was not mysterious. I just watched the cartoon video of Cher's song Dark Lady and the scene in the coffee shop reminded me of the cartoon. I hope that this show gets better.
Projects from Korea have big budgets, great cinematography, but are terrible at storytelling, acting and intimacy. I'd rather watch a low budget show out of Vietnam or the Philippines. I thought this series would be a nice change, but once again, it was just a showcase for pretty faces. Hopefully they turn it around, but I have been disappointed many times. I broke my rule of watching KBL while in serialization, rather than waiting to wait for the reviews. I got suckered after watching The Eight Sense, which was the exception to the mostly terrible KBLs.
I don't feel sorry for Mintra, except that her mother got sick. She is not in a real relationship with Korn, just a fake contract relationship, and she is crossing boundaries by getting feelings for him. She needs to keep her legs closed and let Korn use someone else for sex. She needs to have some dignity instead of being a delulu.
The acting in this show is on point and the chemistry between the actors is amazing. Also people need to understand…
They obviously did not listen to/read the conversation between Korn and Mintra where it is clearly stated that they are a pretend couple by contract. Even though he had sex with both, he is not attached to Mintra or Pawin.
The Ms. Becky subplot is really bad. Ms. Becky worked for Ace, so why is she still here? That gym guy situation is really dumb. I'm an outlier, but I like Rainbow Prince, and the are just wasting Drake. I'm tired of Chukchuk getting lost in every Oxin series.
Watching this show actually produces rage in me. I still like Zeke & Fifth, although their storyline plunged into…
I am more forgiving of Zeke and Fifth because they are still students, and since they are not the main couple, they are going to get the lame talent show that looked like a 3rd grade talent show. Fifth is mad over a broken promise, I've seen adults fight over more idiotic things. I don't think they expected this couple to blow up and overshadow the main couple like they have. To be real, how long is a young guy going to lay on the sidewalk without someone calling an ambulance?
Miko and Win are the worst couple. I think they are either going to set up Sky making up with Ace or Win returning to the Philippines. I read somewhere that Miko is retiring from BL, and since Zeke and Fifth are more popular, who would care?
Definitely not.... Kong segment made Pat to take advice from Jeng. He followed Jeng advice to stand for himself.…
Just omit the celery! Celery doesn't usually have a strong flavor when cooked (to my taste buds), so maybe they were making Pat the Princess and the Peal of celery. When we have chili parties, we order a bean less batch too. We don't ask for the flavor to be hidden.
I like both series. A Boss and a Babe is not slow burn, there really isn't an age gap, and the boss-intern dynamic will be resolved naturally, since internships are finite. I think there's less wasted time in the storytelling as well, but the well oiled machine, GMMTV is behind that production.
I like Step by Step because there is an age gap, and both characters are not as open with their feelings. I hate the love triangle and time spent on mundane things like shrimp-celery nuggets, but I think the discussions between the MLs are interesting. The office dynamics are exaggerated, but it depicts office politics we see in corporate, while A Boss and a Babe is more a family style, team office setting. It's also fun to see Jeng in puppy dog mode.
In the manga, the mangaka draws them right before their lips touch, implying a kiss on the lips. Later in that…
They made changes from the manga, for example in the manga, Yutaka smokes cigarettes in the beginning, but toward the end, his co-workers notice that he doesn't smoke anymore. Minoru's ex-girlfriend in the manga is much meaner. I think they've done a pretty good job with this adaptation. The child actor playing Tane is capturing his spirit.
In the manga, the kiss is never said to be on the mouth, or on the cheek. Somehow it being on the cheek makes…
In the manga, the mangaka draws them right before their lips touch, implying a kiss on the lips. Later in that chapter, Minoru comments that it tasted like dumplings, which is what Yutaka had been eating during that chapter.
I'm sad for Mike, but I watched the old trailer on a reaction channel, since I'm too lazy to sift through GMMTV, and I'm not angry with them. Mike is high energy like Krist, Gawin is more chill. They even changed the glow color of the crystal ball from bluish to gold. I still want Mike to get a lead role, whether with a female or male co-star. I absolutely loved this first episode. I hope it maintains momentum.
Skimmed through the first episode but the actor playing Nikko was so uncute and darn unattractive! Why can't they…
Although I think Tommy is attractive, MDL BL viewers are always screaming for realism, and against gay stereotypes, and the fact is, not all gay men are hot gym rats. It's nice to see men who don't look like they just walked off of a gay porn set, or out of a fetish fantasy.
BL from Korea are usually the weakest is storytelling, acting and intimacy, despite high budgets, but this series was excellent. I like that Jae Won was allowed to look tired and worn out, which is amazing for a series with a good looking cast. What I loved is that Ji Hyun would not give up on Jae Won, and that he was open about his feelings. They could have passed on the evil ex-girlfriend, not diving a little deeper into the death of the younger brother emotionally, and the therapist crossing boundaries at times instead of facilitating client insight, but we can't have everything.
Definitely not.... Kong segment made Pat to take advice from Jeng. He followed Jeng advice to stand for himself.…
I understood this due to the flashback, but it was immediately followed by Pat considering, and probably taking Put back. Like they say, 2 steps forward, 3 steps back. After all the cancelling out, we are still in a deficit as far as wasting time that could have been spent building the relationship between Jeng and Pat. Just my opinion.
