Totally agree - I wouldn’t repeat the scenes from PayuRain. I’d rather have new specs of them here and there.
As for different dynamic between the couples - yes, they are very different, and not only because of Sky. I think Pai is also totally different from Payu. He’s not as dominant - he’s more playful and flexible. Which is why he enjoyed more dominant Sky. I think Payu/Sky would never work, while Pai/Sky can work out (I mean in real life, since here of course it will work out 😂).
Honestly, I prefer this couple’s dynamic so far as Sky is smart, does things on his own terms and is not being a doormat. At least, for now 😉
I’m not trashing PayuRain - I liked what actors did for them. I’m just saying that personally I can relate better to PaiSky 😊

2gether is definitely not my standard :))) It’s an official BL without any action, while other BLs that you mentioned have a story, sizzling chemistry AND hot scenes that are driven by the story. Bromances built on BLs, like The Untamed, are different animals and for me, it did about the same as the awesome BLs you mentioned.
Don’t get me wrong - I do enjoy hot scenes, but story takes presidence for me. Story drives chemistry and hot scenes. If it’s just NC with no story I can’t sympathize with it and won’t enjoy it.
I never said TU was THE standard. I said it was MY standard - I know, I am weird this way 😂

I have to say their BROMANCES are much more on fire than some official BLs 😂
The Untamed is my BL golden standard in story, OST and chemistry. And I watched it before I even knew what a BL was 😂
I wish they could do real BLs there! 🤩

Well, they only have 8 episodes, so might as well get this out of the way to give way to possibly different entities. You know, introduce the least threatening things first. Also, they gave a nice introduction to the “rules of engagement” by the cute “staff” from the beginning. Now they can go full throttle into the story.

Also, from what I heard, the actors are prohibited by the government to show up together in a movie for eight years once Addicted was stopped and banned.

Ok, I think the writer/director just doesn’t like BL. So they were trying to do everything in their power to sabotage each and every possible relationship here.
Now, Rain and Payu actors were just too good - so, they are dragged apart for, I don’t know, eight years, following Chinese “Addicted” example? 🤷‍♀️
This is my theory ‘cause I don’t see any other explanation for this mix of genres in a (theoretically) BL series - every genre is here except for BL! 🤦‍♀️

Ok, that’s what I totally missed - thank you so much! ☺️

Oh, good, I am not losing it yet then 😂 Thank you 🙏 😊
Do you by chance know what possessed Tanaka to even start playing that weird game with Amagi while he has a whole crowd of girls to play with? I’m pretty sure they would be more than willing to participate 😉

I’m a bit confused - what’s up with Tanaka (Takara’s friend) being all over Amagi? Did I miss something? 🤷‍♀️

Yeah, she doesn’t look upset. But I think her character is not really upset - she’s angry and disgusted with Cake since she’s the queen and this mere mortal dares to ditch her to spend more time with his friend. She even asked him what was wrong with him after bringing up Eiw, so I think she figured his feelings for Eiw before he ever did.
I am not sure about her acting skills as I saw her only for these 5 minutes, but I think she did ok presenting resentment.

I was seriously waiting for Kim’s amnesia to kick in - come on, every self-respecting soap opera has one. Well, not all is lost yet, we still have 3 more episodes 🙃
Daddy Santi made my day - I was manifesting for him to get more screen time and something better than just “the food is served” - I like Lift a lot! So I don’t care how little sense the rest of the plot makes, I’m all good 😁

I think both Porsch and Arm look awesome! I’m so glad to see them acting together! Best of luck to them! 🤩🥂

Thank god! 🤩 To each their own, but it would be hardly suitable for a romantic show 😉
Thank you again! 😊🙏

So Sher’s feelings are platonic as in “romantic love with no physical intimacy”, or as in “my beloved bro”?
Thank you for your information 🙏😊 - I was under impression from some of the comments they actually had sex.

Oh no, thank you for letting me know 🙏 Just can’t understand those authors obsessed with violence in what’s supposed to be a romantic show 😖

Of course, no problem 😊 I understand your confusion - those ladies were chatting away really fast! I can see years of experience in poking their noses into other people’s business 😂

The older ladies were talking about a daughter of their neighbor who was an adult dating a college student.
This girl can’t be older than 22 since she’s still in college. I think they made a mistake of having this same actress while Eiw is like 5 yo. But I see it a lot, so…
And I absolutely agree with you - to each their own 😊

I think he’s 16-17, and she’s about 22, she’s not out of college yet. So the difference is about 5 years. I honestly don’t see any pedophilia here. For me personally younger guys were never desirable, but people are different.
Besides, I haven’t seen her doing anything inappropriate towards him. If anything - he’s the one trying to pursue her. And again - nothing is going on. Is this couple so necessary for this show? I don’t know, so far I don’t see a need for them, but maybe they are important for the future? 🤷‍♀️
But other than them being unnecessary for now, I don’t see anything wrong with them.

Yep, we’ll see 🤩🍿

Series can always change the original content, smooth out the rough parts and bring new characters. Sometimes it’s uncalled for (Cherry in UN) but sometimes it’s for the best (VegasPete was much better in series KP). Hopefully, this one won’t go bad with Sky’s story 😊
