It's light, the storyline is a bit silly and overall I really like it. The MLs are cute and charming and have a certain chemistry together, which helps enormously. Something to look forward to each week.
For me, the only jarring part was the request by the photographer for shots of Jin and Akin smoking cigarettes. First of all, why? Jade was right to say no but without a word he was overruled. Multiple shots were taken and that was the end of it. I thought there might be a backlash. Just weird.
"Everyone is talking about a secondary straight couple but there isn't one that I can see."Chan Young and Ji Yu?
Now you mention it, I do recall scenes with both of them together. When I made the comment, nobody mentioned their names; that would've prompted the recall, but you just see them and don't hear them. It is, of course, apart from cowardice, a further reason Hee Su doesn't confess to Chan Young he likes him.
Everyone is talking about a secondary straight couple but there isn't one that I can see. Sure, Hee Su is pushing Seung Won to date Ji Yu but he confesses to her that he likes Hee Su, which is why he never told her about the concert tickets and wanted to go to it with Hee Su who rebuffed every invitation. Meanwhile, Hee Su likes Chan Young but decides he'll keep it to himself, however, someone is aware of this attraction. Even worse for Hee Su, he is not as close to Chan Young as he was previously. There's a long way to go before any of this is resolved.
It was a delight from start to finish. Everyone was wonderful, the script was clever, funny, engaging, silly, poignant and everything in between, demonstrating that no company does a BL romcom better than GMMTV.
What's annoying me about Sant's dental appointment is that Jay does it all himself without the help of a dental technician who first fits a bib around his neck and then hands him special sunglasses for when the bright overhead lights are turned on which here are not provided. When performing dental work, the technician inserts a mouth vacuum to extract the built-up saliva and excess water from the treatment which the dentist can't do while working on the teeth. Finally, his mouth is supposed to be numb after treatment, but there he is going to a cafe and eating a croissant.
Aside from that, whoever heard of a mother leaving an 8yo kid abandoned during a trip to the dentist. Then there's his fainting in the chair looking at an electric toothbrush wizz. It's all a bit much. I'll be glad when Sant's root canal procedure is done with so the proper romance can get underway.
Even though it works out well for everyone, it still doesn't redeem how bad most of this series was. One other thing, the description mentioned a box; there wasn't one, Arm saw inscriptions he'd hung with Ryu among many others but it didn't lead anywhere.
For most of Ep. 4, Akin looked miserable, constipated and unsmiling. Compare him to the adorable, angelic-faced Jin, with his silken, long blond hair and sweet nature. Nevertheless, Jin is keen to win over Akin and does so, resulting in the extraordinary honey scene enhanced with Debussy's rippling piano music, Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum, from Children's Corner. Perfection.
This new series is entertaining and delightful. It's light, a little bit playful and the MLs are cute and charming, especially Xiao Bai, who offered himself as Da Hei's boyfriend instead of being the supposed girlfriend Grandma thought he was living with. As one does. Who could resist such an offer?
Nom Jued and Phra Aek were an odd coupling but somehow it worked. By the end of the series, I even recognised the kissing music. I quite liked it on the whole.
The entirety of Ep. 7 was about secondary characters. Arm and Ryu made fleeting appearances. And this is the penultimate episode. What was forecast in the description hasn't even occurred yet. It began with some promise but has degenerated into one of the worst BL series ever.
The traumatic accident that killed Du Zhi's parents and seriously maimed his brother is an episode in his life, on his birthday no less, that he cannot overcome and somehow feels it is his fault that it happened, despite the fact it was a speeding truck driver who should have stopped at the intersection but instead ploughed forward and crashed into his family's car. To take on this guilt personally seems wrong to me but that is what he has chosen. The other two don't realise this and can't understand Du Zhi's behaviour, so when Wang Zhan decides he wants to celebrate his birthday and solicits Ian's help, nothing goes as planned and it becomes a fiasco, with Ian attacking Du Zhi for his behaviour and leaving Wang Zhan dejected. Ian, a good friend of Wang Zhan, is a really nice guy and he's also super cute. There's something very appealing about cute Asian boys who change their hair colour to platinum blonde. Coupled with their pale complexions, it really suits them. I just had to mention this.
When a bead of Tong's sweat dripped from the bridge of his nose onto Mark's face (end of Ep. 2), he instantly recovered from all his injuries. That's a new addition to the lore of vampires, notwithstanding how this human excrescence from someone with golden blood could perform such a miracle as the two substances, blood and sweat, are entirely unrelated. Wonders never cease to happen.
