Mai really is lovely, isn’t he? He really loves being a hubby, LOL. But I agree with you- I don’t like him agreeing to lie to Wan. I hope it doesn’t come back to bite him in the behind.

I think the romantic pairings are really good, but the screen time each storyline gets is so uneven! Like Indy/Jedi and Ten/Arm get no love on that part, and it sucks because they have good chemistry.

Honestly, I wish the coaches and the GL couple were in a separate series because their storylines have the least to do with virtually the rest of the cast (plus I wouldn’t mind a full GL series- what are they waiting for?!). At least the Waenjeb gang/volleyball team’s storyline is a tangent to North and the school director’s storyline (her reason behind disliking the katoeys and incidentally her son liking guys).

OMG, such a long rant but I feel like someone should have taken the completed script to a drawing board and sorted out what was unnecessary to the overall show’s plot.

At least ep4 was longer than ep3. That was over in like a blink of an eye. I saw Shake and Ken holding hands, but... is it something that’s just become instinctual with Ken? Because I can see where the thoughts and feelings are clearly being mulled over by the looks and actions of Shake, but Ken seems like he’s on autopilot (not aware of developing feelings).

I feel bad for Sandee, but I also don’t care for the jilted-gf (who’s not even a gf here) trope. It always makes me unsympathetic to the girl. Oh well.

Let’s see how this goes. I want to know when the romance finally “clicks”.

Pretty interesting first episode. I’ve been waiting for a new Taiwanese BL to warm my heart after MODC... but I’m really fed up with these short episode series! I mean, they always turn out to be so good and then I get disappointed that the series isn’t longer. But that’s not a real complaint, I guess. “Because of You” was also short and I wanted more, but I still enjoyed it. I guess I’ll just wait and see how it goes ;)

That trope irritates the living hell out of me. Like, I feel like I’ve already come to expect it, but then I still get let down when it happens. Such BS :|

Holy crap, you took your imagination on a serious journey! But I like your ideas. Everything is either an exaggeration of what everyone is either already capable of, or the exact opposite and the least of what anyone would expect. I’ll be keeping my eyes open to see if any of your theories come true. Happy watching!

You are correct in that HIV isn’t the “death sentence” it used to be, but that all depends on your situation. For those living in the Western world with even mediocre access to medical care, it’s not horrific. But not everywhere in the world is like this. Without treatment, it is still dangerous. And made all the more dangerous by social stigmas and ignorance, as the last commenter mentioned. I’m quite curious to see how this storyline is handled as well, and it’s probably the only reason I’m sticking with this series as it is dragging quite badly with very minimal storyline and character development. If you stick with the series, I’d love to see if your opinion changes, depending on how they handle the issue.

Okay, the allusions to 2gether (“Kiss you till you drop”) and Make It Right (“You ever have sex with a guy? You want to try?” and the upwards nod) had me going. I’ve seen a couple people refer to this show as crack or silly, and I agree. This really gives me those vibes of some of the BL crack videos I watch sometimes just to laugh myself to death. I love it.

On a “serious” note, damn Nott and Pun have amazing chemistry! I can’t wait for them to come together. It will be literal fire. Ugh, waiting for the next episode and then season 2 will be TORTURE!

I would give anything for Gameplay to do this. He is amazing!

Literally, 17 no joke. Just finished “In Between”, but I’m always up for more. How I work a full time job, cook, workout, and have a partner is beyond me ?

This series was very unusual for me. It started out pretty strong, but then got kind of confusing and lost steam towards the end. I still liked the series, however. But I think the production (editing, pacing, etc) was the main issue. And the endless flashbacks or replaying the end of the previous episode in the beginning of the next episode made it seem to drag unnecessarily.

Anyway, I’m satisfied with the ending and looking forward to the spinoff or S2, whatever it may be.

This was heartwarming. Ninety8 Film does small budget things, but I always enjoy them. Nothing like an adorable movie to put a smile on my face :)

This is so freaking hilarious and sweet! And the main character is so adorable! I was either grinning from ear to ear or laughing my head off throughout the whole first episode. Okay, I’m claiming it- this might be my favorite BL right now out of like 17 of them :)

And when I heard someone call Adachi’s name, all I could think was...

YUTODAAAAAAAA! My sweet Adachi Yuto
<3

I just came here to say... love, love, loving this little show. It’s grown on me. I’m really intrigued to see how it will end. Usually, I have some kind of inkling, but not with this one.

Oh and BTW, Glenn (Jan Silverio) is HOT!!!!!

My main issue is also that Indy and Jedi (Strong and Oat) are supposed to be main role characters, but I just feel that they are relegated to barely supporting characters. Like, honestly the volleyball team has gotten way more screen time than them, it seems. I love Ongsah and North’s story, so that’s fine, but they definitely seem to be the real main characters.

I’m loving this series. The characters are all very sweet, and the actors are adorable. Tin is such a baby face, I can’t help but smile when he is on screen. Can’t wait to see where these storylines are headed.

That bugged me a little bit, too. I was looking at the run time after the recap alone and I was OMG, why?! It just made the episode seem extremely short once I paid attention to that :|

And the chemistry between Nott and Pun is very palpable. I can’t wait for them to become official. They are so hot together!

And the chaotic comedy from S1 is still there, even without the supporting cast. But I did tear up a tiny bit when they did that video asking Pun to accept Nott as his boyfriend so Nott would come home. Just :) :) :)

Damn! Can I just say that Yoon (Nott) looks especially even sexier than S1? Like damn, a glow up in such a short amount of time! And Talay (Pun) is still as sweet and sexy as ever <3

I’m loving this so far.

Nice review so far. I actually love the powerful emotions coming from Wave and Korn (Chimon and Fiat). They are really shining in their individual segments.

Pang (Nanon) seems to have been relegated to a “supporting” storyline for now, but I think as you said, when his improved potential is revealed and the storyline progresses, his role in the group will be explosive.

Now, onto PunnClaire. I wasn’t really sure how I felt about them in S1, but these last two episodes showed me that Gun and Claire have really put in the work to portray a real couple in love. I think Gun’s acting is exemplary enough to portray whatever it is he is supposed to, and it shows here. I think those who have a hard time with this are just simply very accustomed to OffGun or are put off/confused by Gun’s soft appearance. In any event, I try to treat individual series’ characters/ships as their own and give them a fair shake.

I’m waiting for more input from Jack, Joe, Ohm and Mon. Their roles have been minimal thus far, and I’d like to see more from them.

I’m enjoying Phuwin! He is so darling! It’s nice to see his range increasing. I hoped he wouldn’t get typecast into the “forever sweetheart” box after playing Morn in “My Tee” (even though I absolutely LOVED him there and GordMorn). He was funny in “My Bubble Tea”, and he is quite intense here. It’s especially exciting for me.

Sorry for the long rant, but I liked your thorough review and thought I’d give my 2¢.

I don’t like his comment either, but I’m glad they included it because many people have different levels of homophobia and aren’t even aware of their toxicity. He is still friends with Greg, which shows he at least accepts Greg as a person. I think he just needs to be schooled on sexuality not being a choice and how we LGBTQ+ can still have great lives (even if we don’t decide to have children). I liked how the two girl friends made a point to put him in his place and enlighten him a bit. It’s still sucky that people still think like him in 2020, but that’s why we always take every opportunity to teach others because minds and hearts can be changed :)
