This series just went off the rails, regarding the script, lack of cohesion, and no sense of purpose, other than giving the audience another chance to see Aki kissing another man.
It doesn't need to be deep, its need to be with some value, maybe honesty, maybe more real, maybe funny, maybe…
Exactly!! In the BL genre, there will always be a place for the many series based around high school/college life, that will have the standard tropes and the sound queues necessary for the viewing audience to understand what's going on with the main couple from now until eternity.
"Last thing: I cried at the theatre scene with Teh's thesis. It was so emotional, thinking back to their growing process. Pure bliss."
It WAS a beautiful and touching scene, because Teh was able to show Oh-Aew, that he remembered everything about their lives together, just as much as Oh-Aew. He was attempting to make up for what he posted in that dreaded journal from over a year ago. What I also loved from Oh-Aew's reaction, was that he just wasn't in the mindset to forgive Teh at that moment. When Oh-Aew finally snapped, and let go of Teh during the afterparty, something inside of him shattered that night. He never expected that Teh could hurt him in such a way, all because Oh-Aew had changed from who he used to be as a high school student. Teh couldn't understand that Oh-Aew needed to change, so that he could find himself. Teh had said that he wanted Oh-Aew to be able to be himself, but it was the self that Teh was comfortable with, the Oh-Aew that wanted to purue a future in acting, with Teh. The Oh-Aew that was only comfortable being around Teh. The Oh-Aew that didn't have interests, a life, and friends, who weren't connected with Teh at all. I keep reading comments and reviews that state that those viewers couldn't "recognize" the characters and that they felt like they were "strangers". The characters, especially Oh-Aew had grown and developed from who they were as high schoolers, grade students, and the little boys who met each other over a decade ago. It would have been very weird if both Teh and Oh-Aew behaved the same way in their college years, as they did in their early years of high school.
Wait a minute! Some viewers are bitching because there's no tragic setup for this series?! Wow. I'm enjoying it,…
Sadly, I think the "issues" some viewers are using, is too deflect their misplaced anger about Jang Eui stating that he might not act in another BL project again. I really think that if no one had ead that comment, there wouldn't be all this BS about "sexual harassment", due to a adjusted apron scene.
not every bl has to be deep and meaningful, sometimes gays just wanna be gay! this show so far is just that: a…
Wait a minute! Some viewers are bitching because there's no tragic setup for this series?! Wow. I'm enjoying it, because it's setup exactly as you posted: a rom-com featuring two gay men, falling for one another. It seems like the entire cooking staff are all gay men, so that's another plus in my viewpoint.
Well, the screenwriter for this series must have watched the Chinese Bromance series, "Advanced Bravely" or the other Korean BL series, "Where Your Eyes Linger" regarding the ear biting/playing bit from episode 3.
