I'm not sure what to make of this freaking series!!! It's messed up, it's campy, it's totally non-sensical, it's really sensual, it's totally sexy, it's mysterious, it's making my head spend with everything that's going on, and even with all that, I still like it. I'd like even more, IF I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE F*CK I WAS WATCHING! LMFAO!!!!
The plot of this series is all over the place!!! The ep. unto itself was great. But I fail to see how it meshes with the previous eps, unless this is the "alter-universe" version of the ep. Then again, who knows????
So you accept only BL Series when the gay men are Olympic Chanpions and Nobel-Price Winners? Thi is a nice Person…
You make some very valid points and on those I must agree. However, we will simply have to agree to disagree on the rest. But, this has been an interesting chat and my apologies if my first response sounded a little curt it was not intended to be so.
My intent was to clarify that in many BLs and in this one particularly, the lgbtq+ character stereotypically is viewed as "weak," "not self-confident," and "generally introverted," etc., Consequently, their "love interest" or potential love interest seems to always stereotypically be the polar opposites to the descriptors I just noted. I realize that these types of tropes are popular and extremely common in BLs, especially Thai Bls. But, it doesn't have to be, such as the mains in KinnPorsche, Not Me etc.
It has been wonderful "debating" with you. Hope to do so again, I like the way you think and express yourself.
P.S. Every since HIStory 4 (Charles Tu was a lead in that one too), Taiwanese BLs seem to be showcasing some "unique" plots. I'm not sure that's good or bad. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
I know I'll get hate responses. But, WTF! Yes, the story is fictional, but damn it! Why couldn't the producers at least made the "kiddo" a HS senior! The fact that a HS sophomore is serving alcoholic drinks may be a cultural thing. But, come on, a love story between a mid/late twenty-something and a HS sophomore is just a bit much! As much as I might like watching this, nope this isn't my thing. I'm dropping it. I may be back if they have a season 2, when Sea has graduated HS. LMFAO!
I get it. Many folks like the sex and the action adventure. But 4 eps. in, the plot of this series is all over the place! I think it's because we've not been given enough of the backstory.
This was a much better BL series than Daou and Offroad's previous venture. IMO, this series had good acting, balanced characters, a little humor, a little nostalgia, and a fairly decent plot. I say BRAVO!

To answer your question, "no." I disagree with your opinion about hypersensitivity, as well as the complexes. However, you've the right to your opinions and unlike you I'll show you respect for yours. But, as it refers to this series in particular, most (if not all) the characters portrayed have strong personalities, except for Thi (the lgbtq+ character). Hmm, isn't that interesting. Also, btw, being strong or weak dosen't have to always mean power or physicality. It can also mean self-esteem or inner strength, self-confidence, etc. You may also want to ask yourself what complexes you may have.
Did you watch the uncut or the cut version? Because if it's the cut then I understand your thoughts but personally…
I'm not really sure if I saw the cut or uncut versions? Ep. 1 was about 48 minutes and ep. 2 was about 51 minutes if that helps. However, I must agree with Yim's acting being much better in this series. However, he's again playing a "boob-like/clueless" character. And maybe if the show had gotten away from some of the usual stereotypes and tropes, Yim's character might not have seemed so boob-like or clueless. However, I don't mind being wrong on this, LOL!
I'm still trying to figure out this BL. It has the usual tropes and stereotypes, some creepy cringy stuff, a little comedy, a little mystery, and some sex. Even with all of that, eps. 1 and 2 didn't make much sense to me. I think I'm going wait until ep. 7 or 8 then binge it.
More than likely it was a future look of Tonkla killing the person who killed his brother. My guess it will be…
I'm thinking the plot twist is that it's going to be someone close to Tonkla. I think this because the killing was with sooooo much rage! That kind of rage only comes from being betrayed by someone you trust. Even if Korn didn't directly kill Tonkla's brother, he may have known about it or even ordered it done. Something like that.
did i see it right or was i dilusionally mistaken in the first scene of the 2nd episode where Tonkle killed his…
More than likely it was a future look of Tonkla killing the person who killed his brother. My guess it will be either Korn or someone in the family's organization.
