I’ve been staring at butter knives like “seriously? all that with a butter knife?”… Pasta boy was like…
I thought the same thing: a butter knife, really!? He has to be 100% psycho to inflict damage on himself with a butter knife. That takes determination!
Su Hyeon is an abusive a**hole! He seriously needs his jaw jacked. I can understand Daon being gaslite by Jae Min, but, seriously dude...Su Hyeon is a hard "no"!
Seong Hyeon on the other hand is awesome. He's caring, considerate and protective. Daon seems like an intelligent gentle person. He, also, seems traumatized by past occurrences. I hope he stands up for himself and chooses the partner thats a healthy individual.
Question:WHYYYYYYY in so many Asian dramas (but espec K-dramas) do drivers not know how to use their brakes when…
Or, why does someone walk in the middle of the road or cross the street without checking that it's clear? I'm curious about the next 2 episodes.
In the 8th episode the only variable I understood was that if all the supposed rules were broken but she loves the guy, he will be ok. I still don't understand why all the bad stuff happens to begin with. Is she cursed or are the guys that love her cursed because they like her? What's the the reason for everything?
This series broke my heart. Shenan finally sacrificially distanced himself from Shiwen to ensure Shiwen's safety. Whoever that statistic dude was that shared the "time loop" necklace and the parameters that they could never be together if Shiwen was to continue to live needs a rewrite. Apparently self denial and protecting his loved one was the ultimate outcome, but, man, that was sad. I could probably read a lot of life lessons into all the angst but I'm just not...repeat, just not! I'm not sure I will ever rewatch this. It was just too sad.
Someone had suggested that I missed the signs of abuse that Fujisawa perpetrated toward Sei. So, I watched the first six episodes objectively and played closer attention to the dynamics of their relationship. I think several commentators of the series must have read the original source material and had more detailed background. The adaptation of the original source material does not portray Fujisawa as an abusive a******. He's considerate, caring and solicitous of Sei. When they initially agree to live together, he up front told Sei an intimate relationship or marriage was not his intent., but that he wanted to be together "forever". As life often happens circumstances change. Sei fell in love and wanted a more intimate relationship. For whatever reason Fujisawa did not.
I wish I could read the Japanese novel. But, the producers of this series definitely have not portrayed Fujisawa as an uncaring individual. I was somewhat confused that he pressed on Sei's injured toe. There was a definite difference in the quality of touch between him and how Hagiwara gently grazed the toe. The confrontation after Fujisawa erupted with jealousy implied non-consensual intercourse. Maybe in a novel that was the case. But in the adaptation there is the ambiguous scene of contrition about hurting Sei. Sei clearly forgave him. Logically with his very outspoken personality it doesn't seem he would do that if he'd been raped.
So, while several people have been very livid about the whole incident, I'm really looking forward to seeing what episode 7 reveals.
The actor's is doing a really good job, for sure. I don't think there's anything wrong with the plot. Fujisawa's…
I hadn't caught that Fujisawa was abusive in the past. But, now that you expounded on it, I remember being curious about why he pressed on Sei's toe when it was obviously hurt. At first I thought perhaps it was concern, but then why would he press the broken nail cause the toe to become noticably swollen?
That's harsh. He's been very caring toward Sei for years. Why he crossed the line in his behavior is debatable...not, of course, justifiable. Did he feel betrayed? Did he consider Sei "his" but was lacking in empathy about Sei's sexual frustrations? Sei stated that Fijisaea had a secret he wasn't sharing with him and that he had sex with someone else not only for sex but to also have a secret
My question is did Fujisawa rape Sei? Or, did Sei eventually comply and Fujisawa was too rough?
Fujisawa later said he didn't mean to hurt Sei and Sei implied forgiveness by reaching for Fijisaea's hand.
Obviously Fujisawa cares for Sei. When Sei mentioned a wanting a TV. Fujisawa immediately installed one in their apartment.
Did Fujisawa continually refuse to have sex because he wasn't interested in having sex with Sei or because he was uncomfortable with the idea of sex between men? What do you guys think?
Also, Hagiwara is a caring passionate man. He seems to be a good person. The actor portraying his part is exceptional.
I got confused on one dialogue at episode 6 where sei mentioned to fujisawa that "we can't come back" come back…
Sei's partner Fujisawa was extremely jealous. He had refused to do anything sexual with Sei in the past, but yet in anger was violently pursuing sex now because of his jealousy. They have been together for years caring for one another and being respectful. This nonconsensual sex would taint their relationship going forward. Sei didn't want their first sexual act to be shadowed by Fujisawa's anger and sense of betrayal.
The ML was off the charts handsome. I agree with the comment ,"Who wouldn't want to kiss him?". Apparently the FL. I understand her initial shyness, but she was too intelligent and too aggressive not to become more passionate. I get that this was suppose to be a lighthearted comedy, but the lackluster placement of her lips is poor acting. The ML in spite of his supposed inexperience became somewhat passionate, but the female lead didn't keep up.
*sigh* in a year with some incredible series and A LOT of letdowns, this series was a complete letdown. I remember…
You're right! Watching a Chinese BL as it airs is an exercise in frustration...especially if it gets zapped! In my opinion this one as a whole was excellent except for the rushed ending. I'm glad the couple reunited but it felt very rushed. And while the main couple were portrayed as convincing older, the secondary couple looked the same and were wearing the same clothes as 7 years earlier. They needed a little more aging.
This particular BL didnt have any gratuitous sex scenes. It hardly had anything sexual..period. Most of the physical intimacy was caring and only mildly sensual. Considering the censorship restraints the story and the actors managed to create a realistic romantic relationship with both couples.
Seong Hyeon on the other hand is awesome. He's caring, considerate and protective. Daon seems like an intelligent gentle person. He, also, seems traumatized by past occurrences. I hope he stands up for himself and chooses the partner thats a healthy individual.
In the 8th episode the only variable I understood was that if all the supposed rules were broken but she loves the guy, he will be ok. I still don't understand why all the bad stuff happens to begin with. Is she cursed or are the guys that love her cursed because they like her? What's the the reason for everything?
