Huh.... I know my comment here aren't exactly positive, but it really felt choppy and inconsistent toward the…
I totally agree. I also thought it felt the scenes seemed choppy and out of place. Maybe it was the camera action or maybe it was the direction of the director -- but, it did seem off.
Now, as for the kitchen scene, I really didn't like it, but at least it's typical of a cheesy drama (there's an argument between lovers that it ends up them having sex in the kitchen, if they actually had sex). LMBO!
Lian seems like he has a bipolar disorder, nice-then-manic, manic-then-lovey dovey, lovey dovey-then-manipulative, etc., etc., etc. At other times, Lian comes off as a lecherous "old" man panting to "devour" or "deflower" Kuea. Remember, Lian's is supposed to be in mid-to-late twenties and he's still presumably a virgin (waiting on Kuea).

Did I get them all?
Okay. Does So die in the end and Mon ends up with Saint? From the past couple of eps., I get the feeling something bad is going to happen to So. Anyone read the novel?
If they are nicely done, why not? And lately there have been so many different material to watch so if you don't…
True. You can always watch something else. However, the blue shorts to black slacks trope is like having a pb&j sandwich. You can change the bread, change the jelly and peanut butter. You can even add fruit. But, it will still just be a pb&j in the end.
Curious? Have either the director or actors had any experience in a BL. I know they have experience in action dramas. And, I know the director had a bit part in Bad Buddy. But, what experience other than that?
It will be really interesting to see if this series lives up to the hype. We've been disappointed before, when a series had great trailers and bad stories...
I think the series is trying to portray Hia in a more favorable light. I'm not sure that it will blank out what he's already done. But, I do have to admit, it's showing a "better" side of him. He's still a manipulative bas**d, though.
Not everyone will like every series. Personally I am enjoying it and it’s an easy watch. I try not to take things…
True. Not everyone will like every series. Also true, there have been some bad series in the last couple of years. Finally true, great cinematography, music, actors, etc. There's no disagreement there. I actually like the show. I really do.
However, it just seems that when there is a BL series that starts out with lots of potential, it snaps back to using stereotypes, tropes, cliches, or toxicity, etc., to "sell" the series, instead of using what I just said to make a quality series.
Just because the novel may have been really "out there," doesn't mean the series has to be also. There's no hard and fast rule that the series has to exactly follow the novel. Some series are actually better than the novels they're based on.
This series is something else. It's weird, occasionally hard to follow with the "a bait and switch" in almost every scene between Toh and Nuea. Once and awhile is ok, but every other scene begins to make the show seem ultra silly. This series reminds me of "What the Duck." It has that "feel" to it. I'm not sure that's good or bad. LOL

This was fun!!
