If anxiety caused fevers I would have burned to a crisp years ago. The costume designer should be flogged. What's up with all these layers upon layers of baggy clothes on all the characters? Is this the way they dress in the BL sector of Tokyo? The final straw was Taishin's Icelandic-themed long underwear worn as tights under his huge, baggy shorts. lol Those little, bow-legs of hers are kind of cute though. Again, there is no way the character of Takara would see the character of Taishin as anything other than a naive, innocent junior who needs protection from the world. He certainly would not be falling in love with her.
Oh well, another 20 minutes this week of soaking in the beauty that is Iwasi Yoji.
I hope he gets the chance to star in another, much better, BL soon.
Why are you wetting your pants over whether or not other people watch a stupid show you think is great? Not that…
No, I'm not the same. Big difference between disagreeing with the content of a comment, and resenting the fact that the comment exists and someone dared to write it, which is your thing.
Question regarding the peach-fuzz mustaches so many Asian actors/characters wear in films and series: Do they, and most viewers, find those flattering and attractive?
I ask because those mustaches look like what we see here in the US when an adolescent boy tries to grow one before his beard has fully come in and thickened. I'm fully aware that most Asian men have sparse facial hair so I'm wondering why they don't just keep it shaved, rather than grow things like what we see on the police detective in this series. From some angles, it looks like he has a little bit of dirt on his upper lip. :)
Maybe it's like the Korean bowl cut hair...there's no explaining it.
OK: The refusal of the top in the sex scene to NOT wear a condom even though his adorable little bitch was begging…
Apparently, Tonkla thinks he and Korn are in a monogamous relationship or else he wouldn't have begged to go bareback, right? He'd be worried about STDs. I don't think he knows anything about Korn and Fai banging each other, do you?
You give Korn more credit than I do. My take this early on is that he's a sleaze.
Near-total mea culpa: After watching the rest of episode 1 and all of 2, I have done an almost complete 180 turn on this show. I'm enjoying the watch, and I'm impressed with a lot of the special effects and stylistic filming choices. Elements like over-the-top, bombastic choruses chanting, less-than-convincing hospital settings, etc. seem to have faded away completely in episode 2.
I still believe big-budget thrillers are best left to big-budget producers of feature films, but this is pretty remarkable for a gay-themed television series. And I am proud to say I was onto Korn's smarminess from the moment of the condom in episode 1.
I admit I grow weary of the "every man within a 5-mile radius is gay" aspect of these shows. I'd like to see one or two characters at least have to be convinced...:D
Looking forward to the rest of this. I hope it can maintain the high bar it set for itself in the first two episodes.
On edit: This mea culpa applies only to the series 4Minutes. I stand by every word I've written regarding the scary Cat Cult here.
After episode 1:Wow. I'm going to keep watching this after all, if only for the sex scenes. :P That is the hottest…
OK: The refusal of the top in the sex scene to NOT wear a condom even though his adorable little bitch was begging him to feed him his load...needs to be discussed. What gay man in a committed, monogamous relationship would wear a condom when his hot little partner asks him not to? wtf? It feels SO much better without one.
My first thought and continuing suspicion is that the top is cheating with some other dude or woman, even. Either way, I hope the script does something with that and we don't find out later that the exchange over the condom was nothing more than a PC safe-sex PSA.
Wow. I'm going to keep watching this after all, if only for the sex scenes. :P That is the hottest damn thing I've ever seen in a BL. Felt kind of weird that we barely met Faisal and next thing we know he's heels-to-the-ceiling on the couch. lol This airs on TV in Thailand, right? Good god, this would NEVER make it onto broadcast TV in the US. Our Bible-beaters (I mean the book, not the actor) and other assorted prudes and sex-haters would lose their minds.
Did anyone else find the interaction regarding the condom...intriguing?
Also, these are the best-looking Thai leads I've seen since KinnPorsche. It seems all four of them can act as well. And I have to admit, though I find Koreans in general the hottest of Asian men, it's much appreciated to not have to look at a single bowl-cut thus far. (What IS it with Korea and those dopey bowl cuts? I read an amusing article not too long ago about how Korean-American men joke about how dorky bowl cuts are, but they all end up having one on and off throughout their lives. :D)

If you have nothing nice to say and personally attacking users, then just stop please.It's childish and giving…
Yeah, it's the old, lame, overused "you're not bugging ME. I love it!" act , one I've seen directed at others a hundred times. My response is supposed to be "oh no! She's ENJOYING this! And since I want to annoy her, not entertain her, I should stop commenting! Oh no! She LIKES being called a kitty! I should stop doing that!"
I don't care what you do or don't like. It's of no concern to me. BTW, have you been here straight-thru since last night? Wow.
Other than that, I don't give a s**t what you think of me. Have a terrible day.
