Finally the story is picking up and I'm fully invested. The first episodes on the island felt disjointed to me, now with the backstory at last some things start to make sense.
Peat was so brilliant in this episode. <3 I've always been a fan, but damn, he really slayed this time.
I can't believe people are calling Pon unattractive. Even with that haircut (which I don't understand why directors…
The haircut wouldn't look good on anyone and I don't get why they insist to style him like that either. In the teaser for the series, his hair looked better.
Despite that, Pon is attractive and cute and he and Sailub are well-matched, despite being different types.
Very good first episode. Great acting and the background and conflict were set up nicely. Some people are disappointed…
Thank you for this comment! For me it's so obvious that the SL is not about Methas and the deception plot, but about Plawan and Oab's character developments and how they would help each other. Plawan obviously needs to get some direction in life, because right now he has none, and Oab needs to relax and find his passion again. This is what the series is about.
Agree! But I think he's gonna change that only right decision too! π
Yeah, I watched the preview for ep. 12 after posting here and I think you're right. Ouch. There's no way to cure Joe and Ming's obssessions with each other, as it seems.
Joe's got the be the stupidest character in the BL universe ever.
At least in the end of episode 11, he made the right decision for once. When he got his second chance, he should've never brought himself into the same situation again in the first place.
I agree, 7.8 is not a bad rating and I would be totally ok with it , if other BLs which are obviously worse wouldn't be rated way better for some unknown reason. Or maybe the GMMTV BLs automatically get better ratings because they are from GMMTV?
SailubPon's characters are so different here than in Pit Babe, it's unbelievable.
From what I see, Plawan will help Oab to rediscover his passion, while Oab will give Plawan some direction in life, because he really needs it.
Plawan's so bad at cooking, OMG, it was embarrassing to watch, but also very funny.
I wonder why Oab chose Plawan at all, it's obvious he can't cook. Is it because he's amused by him or does he already like him? Although, Oab's selection was somehow more based on looks than anything else from what I saw. ;)
And the award for the most annoying ex ever goes to... Max!
Seriously, it's been a while since a character has annoyed me so much that I wanna punch my computer screen everytime he appears on it. The guy is really something. I wonder how a lovely, nice guy like Thanwa would end up with him.
Peak is so stupid, OMG. I wanna punch him too, but for different reasons.
Thanks God for Latte and Almond, because the Peak/Thanwa pairing is so frustrating to watch right now, with the stupidity, misunderstandings and the horrible ex. Please bring Jane back, she was way better.
I was expecting Ryu's character to be all about basketball, but it's actually Zen who puts basketball above anything else. I mean, he literally has two cute guys fighting for him and is still all "OMG bastketball, we have to win, we have to be a team, we must do everything for basketball, who cares that I was kidnapped, whatever." I can't with the guy, honestly. ;)
Absolutely love the show and am elated for the two episodes a week and very happy that Century of Love and Meet Me at the Blossom will be following this example.
Ming must be very skilled in bed π€. Anyway, I think that between Episode 5 and Episode 10, Ming has changed…
Agreed. Ming is a horrible, jealous, possessive, spoiled brat, but the problem is Joe and not Ming, because Joe wants to be stuck in a relationship with him anyway. I mean, what more can you want from life than a lover who would hit you with a baseball bat on the head in order to incapacitate you and then chain you because he's jealous? And Ming actually felt entitled to do it, as he said again in this episode, as though doing it because of jealousy and not because Tong told him to would excuse him.
There were so many things wrong with this episode, I cannot even start to count.
Joe forgiving Ming everything he did to him so easily just because... no idea. Ming cooked for him and forced himself into his home again? Ming is a great lay? Ming won't leave him alone?
Ming being mad about Tong removing Joe's name from the credits instead of Joe really, really infuriated me. Yes, I know Joe said he was mad. I didn't buy it.
Tong is really despicable, btw. Worse than Ming, and I'm still absolutely against Ming and Joe ending up together. But it's Joe's call, after all. In the end, from what I've seen, he's responsible for the mess he's in right now himself and no one else. Not Ming, not Tong. In the new life, he knew everything about them. He knew what they are capable of. He could've chosen a completely different path and avoided these people alltogether. He didn't and now he has to suffer the consequences. This is a model example of how not to use a second chance at life given to you.
I went in with zero expectations and really like it so far. I like office stories and romances, it's my thing.
The interview scene was so hilarious, I watched it twice and couldn't stop laughing.
I can understand both Ryan and Jane. Ryan got hired by accident and doesn't know what he's doing. He seems to be a person who just goes with the flow, because he hasn't figured out what he wants. Such people try hard to please like Ryan did, but because his heart is not into it, he makes simple mistakes, like waiting for an hour for someone to get him. However, Ryan was the only one from the interns to go back and ask for a feedback for their work, and this has to be honoured.
On the other hand, expecting someone who's 21 yours old to know what they want to do with their life is... in many cases not a good idea. Many are still figuring themselves out at that age and this is ok.
Jane doesn't know why Ryan ended up there, of course, so he's right to expect more from him than Ryan has delivered; however, I think his 30-second expalanation of what he wants Ryan and the others to do was too short and he should've taken more time to explain what a deadline in that business means.
