every single scene of him just standing around looking like a lost puppy kills me LOL hes so useless but so cute i love him

i hope so too, i feel like any romance would just detract from the serious vibe and themes

this was a cute and simple one. not the most gripping plot but the actors sell their roles well and have good chemistry. it may not be your thing if you dislike the born sexy yesterday trope but i thought it was pretty tactfully done as theyre not intimate until theyre in an established relationship and heng jiu initiates it first.

also i recommend watching Stay By My Side before this to get the most out of the cameos in ep 6 and the special episode

reporting back for anyone who was curious about peanut butter with eggs after one scene and it was not bad? i didnt have it in me to slather it on like ido did but i suppose it's a good alternative if youre trying to bulk lol

this was cute. covid-era productions are such interesting little artifacts. it's impressive that they were able to tell a compelling story confined to one single location. i didnt love how the primary conflict was resolved, but at least the characters were convincing in their reasonings.

maybe its stockholm syndrome but i actually enjoyed this despite how much i disliked s1. they definitely toned down the ickier elements which allowed tharntype's chemistry to shine. besides the obligatory jealousy arcs that were as eyeroll inducing as always, i thought the ups and downs of their relationship felt pretty realistic. idk why people think being together 7 years would automatically make for a healthy relationship, if anything that just means you had more time to fight and argue lol. all the toxicity and immaturity aside i cant help but feel touched by how much they love each other.

also the side cast was far more entertaining this time around (though the sheer number of couples was a little ridiculous) albeit a little underdeveloped. even with all the crying i couldnt be mad at fiat hes just like a bad little kid lol. the other two couples werent terribly interesting but at least cute to watch. overall i had fun.

ahh i see, thank you for the explanation!

we'd definitely have to see once more of his backstory is revealed but it seems like seo ido isnt really cut out for/doesnt like being a killer, at least compared to his boss and that scary dude in the car flashback. i think because taejeong is innocent in his eyes he couldnt bring himself to kill him even though he had so many chances. also ofcourse because it's bl he's starting to fall for him which complicates things even further

and given how rude to him he is id be surprised if taejeong didnt dislike the other cop at least a little bit lol

these are mostly just my personal thoughts/speculation but
1. to be fair he did try to get taejeong to stay away (hence the fake message from dong hwa) but that didnt work. and forcing taejeong out of the house at that moment would only make him more suspicious
2. as far as taejeong knows the worst thing ido has done is potentially b&e and lie about being dongjin. he doesnt know about the killer thing (yet) so on top of his feelings for him i dont think its unreasonable that hed at least want to investigate more before deciding to turn ido in. also after his conversation with the cop friend it seems like he's a bit of a black sheep and is used to acting alone
3. this was a bit silly lol ido doesnt seem to be very good at his job

yes - the director is known for many bl like secret relationships, the time of fever etc

this was a pretty cute special. the highlight was definitely their trip to type's house i wish we got more scenes with the father lol. frankly i dont know/care about the side characters. ESPECIALLY lhong like can they please shoving him down our throats

i think this works as a sweet and silly rom com that you can turn your brain off to but not much substance in the way of plot and characters. normally i wouldnt even mind but the way people were hyping this show i expected more. luckily i watched SCOY before so duang's antics werent unbearable and even a little endearing at times but i found the will-they-wont-they aspect more frustrating than anything. not to mention a mostly pointless side couple.

also out of curiosity can someone explain the tone thing? several times qin or duang mentions something about the other speaking in a certain tone of voice. i know thai is a tonal language but is there some cultural context for the different tones im missing? i guess it has to do with them sometimes making their voice sound higher/lower but im not sure what the significance is supposed to be.

ok so this is a huge cringefest sometimes unbearably so but it's still pretty entertaining in a fun, campy way. at its core i think this is a sweet story about finding love while staying true to yourself. with all that said you couldnt pay me to rewatch this lol. honestly i almost threw in the towel ep 12 bc it felt like id reached the physical limit of how much cringe my body can take but im glad i saw it through. like others have said the main relationship works because they match each other's freak like the My Beautiful Man comparison is definitely apt

thanks for clarifying!

while this wasnt bad i think it was definitely weaker than the first season. im all for more bl exploring the complexities of relationships but this felt a bit meandering and angst for angst's sake. 10 episodes later im still not entirely sure why they broke up to begin with. i dont think it's controversial to say that seojoon is the best part of the series, so an entire season that seemed focused on dimming his light as much as possible wasnt a very enjoyable watch.

happy

this was a really fun watch. like others have said its definitely a lot sillier than the premise would suggest, but i enjoyed the humor and think the actors really gave it their all. i love shaofei and his iconic cowlick. i also think this is the first time i like the side couple as much as the main one. my only real gripe is a couple writing decisions like i wish wed gotten to see more of meng shaofei's police senior, as we know very little about her in comparison to tang yi with old tang when shes supposed to be so important to meng shaofei. regardless this is easily one of my favorite taiwanese bl

as weird as it is endearing. maiding is really funny and he and an ziyan play off of each other really well. i also respect the dedication of the actors for what is definitely some of the most intimate nc scenes ive seen. overall it's a low budget but really charming watch, especially if you like sunshine x grumpy pairings.

also i went ahead and compiled all the working links i could find below for anyone looking for where to watch:

gorgeous gorgeous man but i really wish he was in better shows lol
