You cannot say that this is "suddenly" if actually 5 years passed. Josee's life changed because he obtained welfare for her and helped her contact her childhood friend, who gave her the car. He was probably always planning to be with that other woman - the romance was probably imagined by Josee just like that father in Budapest, balloon ride in Africa and what not... They were never together, she only dreamed they were. That's just my interpretation, but it is well justified. Watch the movie again and you will see that with this assumption it makes sense.

For babies, it is done routinely. Teenagers are told, e.g., that it is necessary to remove the testes of an intersex person, because otherwise they will become cancerous. Of course, there is no evidence that indeed a cancer will develop, but this is what the patients are told to agree to be operated on. Or they are told that they have cancer and that the operation is done to remove cancerous organs.

Rel! :D

TharnType was toxic because of sexual abuse, LianKuea was toxic because of control issues. It's OK to show problems in a relationship, but the characters have to be called out on those problems. In Cutie Pie, the controlling behaviour of the older boyfriend is showed as understandable and acceptable. This is, to put it mildly, irritating. ;)

I wholeheartedly disagree with you, but I strongly believe that everybody has the right to their opinion. If somebody attacks you because of a different opinion, just ignore them. Such people have no culture and don't deserve your time. :*

You write the same comment under every review you disagree with. [facepalm]

I can't speak for other people, but I personally want shows without toxic power relations. I don't think that it's too much to ask either. ;)

"you are not yet mature enough to watch this" - I think that some people aren't mature enough to watch Bergman or Kieślowski, but watching BL dramas does not require maturity, it's supposed to be light entertainment.

I guess that negative behaviour of Type is obvious enough - he is violent and homophobic. No need to call him out on that - everyone can see this.

It's a parody of a BL drama, so in a way, it's a genre of its own. 😁

Tharn molested Type sexually. How was that sweet? 😳

I think the keyword is "pansexual"? As for Type, I think he didn't want to call himself gay because of his past issues.

First of all - sorry you've been through this. 🥺 I don't think anyone here is judging Type's reaction, but Tharn's behaviour is definitely questionable. A good guy would not molest an abuse survivor.

If anybody DARES to yell at you because of your interpretation, tell them that in 1968, Roland Barthes' proclaimed the death of the author and since then you have got every right to be in control over the meaning. XD That should shut them up. XD

Everybody has the right to their own interpretation and yours is just as valid as anyone else's. <3

What did the girl do wrong? Cassie and Jonathan were sure that Shane is straight, Jonathan only wanted Shane to be happy, and it is Shane, who pursued Cassie, not the other way round. She ended up loving them both and having little chance for a happy relationship with either of them. Unless they managed to navigate through a ménage à trois, she would be the one most hurt.

I guess you summarised the situation quite accurately. Shane is a good boy, but his understanding of what might hurt other people is rather limited. To me, this is realistic, especially that we know that he had some behavioural problems as kid.

In the copy I watched, this book title is translated as "Theory of Gender" - I guess that makes more sense.

There are many movies about simple characters, who are either 100% straight or 100% gay all the time, and that's that. Shane's feelings are more complicated , which is the most interesting part of the movie. Why did he have sex with Jonathan? It is for the viewers to try to answer. Gives you food for thought. As for the girl - she loves them both, so no easy answer here either. I don't see, what she did wrong.

It looked like they were preparing a ground for revealing that he raped someone, or at least embezzled all the club funds. [facepalm] This show deserves all the rant it got from you. :D
